Crawford's Coach BoMac: How Arrest in the UK Affected Fight Preparation Against Canelo.

According to The Sun: Brian 'BoMac' McIntyre is the coach of Terence Crawford and Chris Eubank Jr.

McIntyre will again be in the corner during Crawford's important match against Canelo Alvarez.

Here’s what we know about this vibrant personality.

Who is Brian “BoMac” McIntyre?

McIntyre, who fought 21 times as a professional and won seven of them, has supported the career of four-time world champion Crawford from its inception.

55-year-old McIntyre grew up on the same street as Crawford and has known the famous boxer his entire life.

Both trained at the same gym when they were younger.

Eventually, McIntyre noticed Crawford's talents and took him under his wing.

“I think it's safe to say I was something like an older brother, a big cousin, an uncle to Terence... when you're constantly in the gym with kids, you develop relationships,” McIntyre said in an interview with The Athletic.

“When we wrapped up for the day, the coach would always say, 'Why don’t you stay and help with the kids?' So I held the pads, pushed them a little. I started to train a bit,” he noted.

As a coach, McIntyre has also worked in the corner of former super lightweight champion Jamel Herring.

He also trained Amir Khan ahead of last year’s bout with Kell Brook and Chris Eubank Jr. leading up to an impressive 10th-round victory over Liam Smith in an exciting rematch.

In his amateur career, McIntyre is best remembered for a match against Erik 'Buterbiev' Ash, which he lost by decision.

Why Was Brian 'BoMac' McIntyre Arrested in the UK?

Brian 'BoMac' McIntyre was arrested at Manchester Airport after security staff discovered a loaded gun and ammunition in his suitcase.

McIntyre was in the corner during Eubank Jr.'s victory over Liam Smith in their rematch in Manchester Saturday night.

Greater Manchester Police reported: “At approximately 10:45 AM on Sunday, September 3, 2023, police officers received a report of a possible firearm found in luggage by airport security staff in Manchester.”

“Following an initial check by security staff, GMP officers were dispatched to the scene, and the firearm was seized.

“As a result, the man was arrested for possession of a firearm and remains in custody for further questioning.”

Eubank Jr.'s team declined to comment on the situation when approached by reporters.
