The fight, held at AT&T Stadium, was streamed live by over 108 million people worldwide, breaking records since Muhammad Ali ’s era.

The fight, which took place on November 15 at AT&T Stadium, ended with Jake winning by unanimous decision. However, post-fight celebrations took a strange turn when Logan accidentally stole some of the spotlight. During Jake’s post-fight interview, Logan attempted to promote Jake’s new body care brand, W.

Photo: Mike Tyson / Instagram   Mike Tyson has addressed a challenge from his former rival, Evander Holyfield , just days after losing to Jake Paul in a much-hyped boxing match. The 58-year-old boxing legend returned to the ring last weekend but was outmatched by the younger Paul, losing by unanimous decision. While Tyson hinted at a possible fight with Logan Paul , Holyfield’s callout has sparked interest among fans. Holyfield, 61, took to Instagram to suggest a third fight with Tyson, writing, “The fans want it! #UnfinishedBusiness.” Tyson responded warmly, saying, “I love you, brother, but the trilogy is our friendship.” Photo: Mike Tyson / Instagram   The two have a storied history in boxing. Holyfield defeated Tyson in their first bout in 1996 and famously won their 1997 rematch when Tyson was disqualified for biting his ear.

Usain Bolt Gives Advice To Teen Sprinter Who Broke His Record

Photo: Usain Bolt / Instagram   Usain Bolt , the former sprinting legend, has praised 16-year-old Gout Gout , who recently broke one of his records . Gout, an Australian sprinter, set a new 200m event record at the Under-20 World Championships in September, running 20.60 seconds. This narrowly beat Bolt's previous record by just 0.01 seconds, which had stood for 22 years. Bolt appeared on the High Performance Podcast  with Jake Humphrey to reflect on his early career and share advice for young athletes like Gout. “When I started out, I didn’t understand the concept of ‘being great’ because I was young,” Bolt said. “At 15, I was winning just because of my talent. But when I turned professional, I started losing. That’s when I realized I had to work harder to improve.” Photo: Usain Bolt / Instagram   Bolt encouraged Gout to stay confident and keep learning from challenges, reminding him that progress isn’t always straightforward. Gout has already drawn comparisons to Bolt, somethin

Dan Hooker Criticizes Michael Chandler For BMF Title Callout After UFC 309 Loss

Image
Photo: Dan Hooker, Michael Chandler / Instagram   UFC lightweight contender Dan Hooker is not impressed with Michael Chandler ’s post-fight callout following his loss at UFC 309. Chandler, who was defeated by Charles Oliveira last Saturday, used his microphone time to call out potential opponents, including Conor McGregor and Max Holloway for the BMF title. Chandler, 38, had hoped a win over Oliveira would bring him closer to an undisputed title fight. However, after his loss, he pivoted to other options, suggesting a fight with Holloway for the BMF belt or reigniting his rivalry with McGregor. “I had a bunch of callouts,” Chandler said in the Octagon. “Maybe Max Holloway for the BMF belt. Or, Conor McGregor... Come back and beat me, if you can.” Photo: Dan Hooker / Instagram   Hooker, who was knocked out by Chandler in 2021 but has since climbed the lightweight rankings, dismissed Chandler’s BMF title ambitions. “I don’t like Chandler calling for the BMF title,” Hooker said on

The fight took place at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, where Taylor defended her light-welterweight titles. The bout went the full 10 rounds, with Taylor winning by unanimous decision.

After the fight, Serrano expressed her frustration. “I knew when it went to the judges it would be shady,” she said. “She kept headbutting me, but it’s not new. She did the same with Chantelle Cameron.” Photo: Katie Taylor / Instagram   Taylor denied any foul play, saying, “The headbutt was accidental. This is a tough sport, and things like that happen. I’m not a dirty fighter.” Both fighters will be suspended for a mandatory rest perio

Conor McGregor Responds To Dana White’s Big Fight Claims

Image
Photo: Conor McGregor / Instagram   Conor McGregor thinks UFC boss Dana White might be overhyping things. After UFC 309, White called a possible 2025 heavyweight fight between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall the biggest in UFC history. This claim is bold, especially since McGregor holds the record for the biggest UFC fight. His 2018 clash with Khabib Nurmagomedov sold 2.4 million pay-per-views. During the UFC 309 post-fight press conference, White praised Jon Jones and hinted at a fight with Tom Aspinall, who has been eager to face Jones all year. Even though Jones has shown little interest, White believes the fight will happen and break records. Photo: Conor McGregor / Instagram   “It would be the biggest heavyweight fight in UFC history,” White said. “And probably the biggest fight we’ve ever done.” A clip of White’s comments spread online, and McGregor reacted briefly, posting “Now, now” alongside the video on X (formerly Twitter) before deleting it. McGregor hasn’t fought since

Photo: Nico Ali Walsh / Instagram   Nico Ali Walsh , the grandson of boxing legend Muhammad Ali , has made a name for himself in the boxing world. Recently, Jake Paul , the YouTuber-turned-boxer, challenged Walsh to a fight. However, Walsh has set conditions before accepting the challenge. Paul, who has been taking on big names to build his reputation in combat sports, fights at 185 pounds. Walsh, on the other hand, competes at 155 pounds. Walsh pointed out this weight difference, saying it would not allow either fighter to perform at their best. He suggested that Paul focus on opponents in his weight class instead. While Walsh respects Paul’s accomplishments, his priority is to advance his boxing career, not to take part in mismatched fights. Photo: Nico Ali Walsh / Instagram   The idea of the fight has sparked interest among fans, with many wondering if Walsh could honor his grandfather’s legacy by accepting the challenge under fair conditions.  View this post on Instagr
