Featherweight contender Matt Remillard (23-1), 25-years-old, is facing a five-year prison sentence after pleading no contest to beating a man with a baseball bat in Connecticut last year. He entered a plea of no-contest to first-degree assault on Tuesday in Hartford Superior Court. He is scheduled to be sentenced November 29.
State police told local papers that Remillard battered victim Jordan Evans with a baseball bat in July 2010 in Marlborough in a fight over a woman both men had dated. Three other people were arrested.
The injuries are serious, a report indicates that Evans suffered a fractured skull, eye socket and hand.
