Imprisoned former boxing champion Jermain Taylor has been court-ordered to pay $77,901 to a 48-year-old North Little Rock man who claimed the Olympian beat him up at Taylors Little Rock home in November 2021.

An 11-woman, one-man Pulaski County jury on Wednesday rejected the bulk of the accusations against former boxing champion Jermain Taylor, clearing him of felony terroristic threatening and reducing the felony domestic violence charge to a misdemeanor.

An 11-woman, one-man Pulaski County jury tasked with deciding whether former boxing champion Jermain Taylor beat an ex-girlfriend bloody, choked her unconscious and threatened her with a knife will render a verdict on felony domestic-violence charges, possibly today, without hearing from the Olympian, his lawyers said Tuesday.

Two weeks before Jermain Taylor is scheduled to stand trial on felony domestic violence charges, the former boxing champ avoided jail after his neighbor testified Monday that he called and texted a woman who has accused the Arkansas Sports Hall of Famer of domestic violence without Taylor knowing.
