Paul Desiderio, a Blackwater Bossing player, made his announcement on Agatha Uvero’s claims of abuse on Thursday.

Desiderio denied Uvero’s claims, calling them “unfortunate and sad, and most of all, untrue.” 

The Blackwater participant wish that they would remain civil after their divorce just for there own son, Andres.

“I vehemently deny her allegations of abuse during our relationship,” Desiderio said. “I have had relationships prior to Ms. Uvero, and I also have a daughter from a previous relationship. I have never hurt a woman, especially not the mother of my child.”

Desiderio also stated that he will collaborate with the PBA as the league conducts an investigation into the accusation. “I am confident that I will be absolved of the accusations hurled against me,” he added.
