Kyle Boehm is best known for his grappling skills and is one of 10th Planet’s best black belts, having qualified for the 2022 ADCC, as well as beating the likes of Dante Leon, Pedro Marinho, and others. However, of late – he has found himself in some very hot water. This week, NBA star Kyrie Irving was suspended by the Brooklyn Nets for anti-Semitic posts.
Here, Irving posted support for a controversial documentary named Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America. In this movie, it is said to have a strong anti-Jewish sentiment, as well as factually incorrect claims. Since his suspension, Irving posted an apology to Jews on Instagram.
However, in the comments, Boehm made a very questionable statement, where he claimed the Holocaust ‘hoax’. Since then, Boehm has been stripped of his Polaris title who also claimed that he would not be invited onto their promotion again. After this statement, Boehm has yet to make a public comment. His views have also caused some online commenters to call Boehm an anti-semite amongst other names.
