A Bulgarian heavyweight champion who sucker-smooched a female sports reporter has been socked with a $2,500 fine and ordered to take sexual harassment prevention classes.

Kubrat Pulev, 38, was suspended after kissing Vegas Sport Daily journalist Jennifer Ravalo without her consent while she was interviewing him following his defeat of Romania’s Bogdan Dinu in Costa Mesa, California.

The puckering pugilist apologized to Ravalo – who works under the name SuShe – on Tuesday during a hearing with the California State Athletic Commission, which told him his suspension would be lifted if he paid the fine and attended the classes by July 22.

He also was warned that he would face a lifetime suspension if he gets involved in any future incidents, according to the BBC.

Ravalo’s attorney Gloria Allred told The LA Times that “it was a fair hearing, and we’ll be at the next hearing.”

Pulev, who was euphoric after having just knocked out Dinu, has downplayed the kiss and claimed the reporter was a close friend.

“The reporter, Jenny is actually a friend of mine and after the interview, I gave her a kiss,” he tweeted. “Later that night, she joined me and my other friends at my post-fight celebration. On that video, after our kiss, we both laughed about it and thanked each other. There really is nothing more to this.”

But Allred called his lip lock “sexual harassment.”

“She did not consent to that kiss,” she said.

Questioned by the commission about the extent of her previous connection with Pulev, Raval said she had met him only one day earlier at his weigh-in.

Allred said the fighter mentioned Ravalo had flirted with him, while his team cited cultural differences.

“Does that mean he can kiss another woman the next time he’s euphoric?” Allred said. “[Pulev] also apologized at the hearing. He didn’t apologize before the hearing, and he knew where to contact her … We know that because he contacted her online and threatened to publish other videos of her, which he did of her dancing” at a post-fight party.

“That [dancing video] was all irrelevant [to the deputy attorney general handling the case] and my client didn’t feel he made a real apology. He was sorry — for getting caught.”

Allred said her client has been subjected to intense cyber-bullying as a result of the sloppy kiss.

“He’s been trying to present himself as the victim,” she said. “She’s the victim. We have laws in California, and that type of behavior is not tolerated.”

CSAC Commissioner Martha Shen-Urquidez said she wanted to offer Pulev the chance to change his ways “rather than take away a fighter’s ability to make a living,” according to the BBC.
