Heavyweight Champion Boxer David ‘Nino’ Rodriguez says he’s received death threats and hate mail and lost a lot of fans after he publicly voiced his support for President Trump and his policies.

Rodriguez who is Latino and lives in El Paso, Texas says things got worse when he talked about his support for building the wall along the US-Mexico border. (RELATED: NYC Man Says Teenagers Beat Him For Wearing A MAGA Hat.)
