\”Black Rhino\” Etienne Facing Attempted Murder Charges.

Sadly, it must be reported that former heavyweight contender Clifford “Black Rhino” Etienne has lost the plost at the waning of his boxing career and reverted back to the criminal lifestyle that once saw him imprisoned. Etienne is being held by police in his home state of Baton Rouge, Louisiana for the armed robbery of a check cashing establishment. Worse still, Etienne is reported to have attempted to car-jack a motorist and to have fired shots at police trying to apprehend him. Once a promising albeit aged heavyweight contender, Etienne displayed tenacity and a love for boxing which at one time brought him serious consideration as a title prospect. All of that dissipated for Etienne in recent years as early stoppage losses to Mike Tyson and Nicolai Valuev seemed to have erdicated his chances of becoming a viable contender. It is perhaps the lack of financial opportunities in boxing that propelled Etienne back into the criminal world.

We will bring you more news as it happens.
