Tiger Woods victim of blackmail as court hears New York vs Trump trial testimony

By
Tiger Woods

Ahigh-ranking CEO of an American media company has testified to purchasing images of Tiger Woods allegedly cheating on his ex-wife as the golfer’s sex scandal is dredged up once again.

Woods, 48, had long been rumored to have been unfaithful to Elin Nordegren when they were married before the infamous Thanksgiving weekend in 2009.

It was speculated that Woods had been with his alleged mistress Mindy Lawton, with photos apparently showing the pair together, although they were never published.

That was because the National Enquirer agreed not to put them into the public sphere, following a negotiation with Woods’ camp that he would feature on the cover of Men’s Fitness as part of a 12-page feature with the magazine.

And according to CEO David Pecker, testifying in the New York vs Trump trial, the speculated photos of Woods were real.

The American, widely recognized as the greatest golfer of all-time, has had a string of controversial relationships since his divorce from Nordegren, which cost him him an estimated $100million.

Woods has been in and out of relationships since then, including with Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn. The pair dated for three years before Vonn called quits on their relationship.

His most recent relationship with Erica Herman ended on a sour note when he was accused by her of sexual harassment. She later dropped the case after admitting she wasn’t sexually abused by Woods.

Anthony Joshua predicts ‘phenomenal’ rival to win Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk fight

By
Anthony Joshua Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk

British heavyweight Anthony Joshua has tipped Oleksandr Usyk to beat Tyson Fury when the two world champions collide in their undisputed title fight in Saudi Arabia next month

Anthony Joshua believes Oleksandr Usyk will prevail in the seismic undisputed heavyweight title fight between the Ukrainian and Tyson Fury.

Usyk, the reigning WBA, WBO and IBF world champion, will put his straps up against Fury’s WBC title to crown an undisputed kingpin of the heavyweight division next month in Saudi Arabia.

The fight will finally take place on May 18 after a serious cut sustained by Fury prevented the two from donning their gloves on the original date earlier this year. And while plenty believe the bout is too close to call, Joshua has tipped Usyk to conquer his domestic rival.

READ MORE NEWS :Anthony Joshua hints mega clash with Tyson Fury will happen in September and says ‘it’s coming, most definitely’

After being asked for a prediction, Joshua told talkSPORT: “I’ve fought Usyk so I can only speak on what I’ve experienced with him – phenomenal fighter, I would say he’s gonna do a really good job.

“I’ve never fought Fury, so I can’t speak on what it’s like to face him. Only speaking on what I know, I have to say Usyk will be victorious.”

Joshua came up short against Usyk on two separate occasions, the first of which saw him lose his belts. And although he produced an improved showing in a rematch, the Brit was soundly beaten on points by the former undisputed cruiserweight champion.

Joshua and Fury have both teased a mega domestic showdown for years but nothing has materialised to date. Joshua, however, is itching for a return to the ring after destroying former UFC champion Francis Ngannou just before Christmas and has refused to rule out the possibility of locking horns with Fury in the future.

Tyson Fury shows off cut and stitches that meant fight with Oleksandr Usyk had to be postponed

Joshua said: “On June 1 in Saudi Arabia they’ve got the 5 vs 5 card. You’ve got Filip Hrgovic vs Daniel Dubois, and you’ve got Zhilei Zhang vs Deontay Wilder. So providing one of those looks good – the one who looks the best, His Excellency, Turki Alalshikh said to me, ‘I want you to fight [him].’

“What he says is, ‘In the future I want people to look back at your record and say that you took on the best.’ I said, ‘Now you’re speaking my language.’ So out of that pool, I believe that’s who I’m gonna be fighting, one of those.

🚨 Anthony Joshua makes prediction for Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk clash

“But Fury’s got his obligations with Oleksandr Usyk so I’ve gotta make sure I stay focused and disciplined, keep steamrolling through opponents so I can get closer and closer to having the opportunity of me vs Tyson Fury.”

Roy Jones Jr warns Jake Paul about how hard Mike Tyson can STILL punch in his 50s… as he compares boxing legend’s power to an animal!

By
Roy Jones Jr Jake Paul Mike Tyson

Roy Jones Jr has warned Jake Paul that Mike Tyson can punch with all the strength of a mule’s kick.

Tyson, 57, and Paul will lock horns at the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on July 20 in an exhibition bout streamed live on Netflix.

There is a 30-year gap in their ages but boxing icons have cautioned Paul about his opponent’s immense power.

Jones Jr fought Tyson in 2020, a split decision draw which was billed as the ‘Lockdown Knockdown’ and generated over £63million in revenue.

‘Mike Tyson is still the strongest puncher that I’ve ever been in the ring with,’ he told Shane Mosley.

‘And if he hits anybody with a shot like that, they are either going out or down, especially guys who are not used to being hit like that.

‘With these types of people like Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis, these guys are bigger and can take it.

‘But Jake Paul, I don’t think he’s going to be able to take that.

‘It might hit him on the chin like that, we’ll see, but it’s going to be tough [for him].’

This assessment isn’t coming from any old weakling.

Jones Jr is a former four-weight world champion, having held titles from middleweight all the way up to heavyweight.

He had 76 fights with 66 wins and 47 knock-outs, taking on the likes of Bernard Hopkins, James Toney, and Joe Calzaghe.

Lennox Lewis has also cautioned Paul, a man whose career in the limelight began by posting videos on Vine.

Lewis, who fought Tyson in 2002, knocking him out in the eighth round to retain his three world title belts, said: ‘It’s going to be a great fight, I am looking forward to it.

Floyd Mayweather Labeled as “Fraud” by Conor Benn After Rival Gervonta Davis Makes Serious Allegations

By
Floyd Mayweather Conor Benn Gervonta Davis

Gervonta Davis and Conor Benn might have missed their opportunity to fight each other. However, the duo seem to have come together on social media to roast five division champion and multi millionaire Floyd Mayweather. Despite harboring immense respect for each other, the relationship between ‘Money’ and ‘Tank’ has been tumultuous at best. But what led to Davis accusing Floyd? And what were the accusations?

Just the other day, Floyd Mayweather spoke about how some boxers are wasting their money instead of investing it. This rubbed Davis the wrong way, as he thought Mayweather was talking about him. So, Davis revealed on social media that Mayweather was stuck in Dubai because he had unpaid dues in the country. So recently, Conor Benn has joined the Mayweather bashing bandwagon on social media.

Turning to X on 26 April, Benn wrote, “OI @floydmayweather PAY YOUR JEWELLERY DEBTS YOU FRAUD.” While Mayweather hasn’t responded to Benn’s tweet yet, the same cannot be said about Gervonta Davis’ accusations. After Davis accused Mayweather of having financial issues in Dubai, Mayweather went into his video archive to look for a zesty video of Davis.

Sharing a clip of Davis dancing with a rather feminine aura, Mayweather mocked Davis by captioning the clip in his Instagram story, “we always knew he had sugar in his Tank.” Things didn’t end there! Mayweather went as far as sharing a clip of Shakur Stevenson urging Davis to fight.

Gervonta Davis is in talks to fight Frank Martin in June, but things were a lot different back in February. Fresh off his victory over Peter Dobson, Benn was looking for a big money fight and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, saw Davis as the perfect match. Davis hadn’t fought since a win over Ryan Garcia in April last year. So, Hearn quickly sent a $25 million offer Davis’ way, and he was confident Davis wouldn’t be able to refuse the deal.

While even that offer was significant, things didn’t pan out the way Benn or Davis would have wanted and the fight was eventually scrapped.

‘America Hates Me’: Simone Biles Opens Up On Harrowing ‘Twisties’ Ordeal Two Months Before Paris Olympics 2024

By
Simone Biles

Gymnastics GOAT Simone Biles candidly discusses her mental trauma after withdrawing from Tokyo 2020 due to ‘twisties,’ the overwhelming pressure she faced, and her potential redemption at Paris 2024.

In a searingly honest interview, gymnastics superstar Simone Biles has opened up about the overwhelming psychological toll and intense backlash she suffered after her high-profile withdrawal from the team final at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics due to a case of the dreaded “twisties” – a phenomenon where athletes lose spatial awareness mid-routine.

“America hates me. The world is going to hate me. I can only see what they’re saying on Twitter right now,” Biles, 27, painfully recalled her feelings in the aftermath, in an interview with the Call Her Daddy podcast.

The most transcendent and decorated gymnast in history with 37 combined world and Olympic gold medals, Biles stunned the world when she abruptly bailed on her vault routine and landed awkwardly, forcing her withdrawal. Her decision sparked a vital global conversation around athletes’ mental health and the immense pressure they face.

“If I could’ve gotten on a plane and flown home, I would’ve done it. I thought I was going to be banned from America, ’cause that’s what they tell you: ‘Don’t come back if not gold. Gold or bust. Don’t come back,'” Biles stated highlighting the win-at-all-costs mentality drilled into Olympic athletes from a young age.

Though she eventually mustered the resolve to compete in the beam final, earning a hard-fought bronze medal – an achievement she would go on to describe as “most meaningful” in her illustrious Olympic journey – Biles was candid about her fears of facing harsh judgment and rejection from her home country after failing to meet unforgiving expectations of gold medal greatness.

Rafael Nadal hints Novak Djokovic has had it easy against new generation

By
Rafael Nadal Novak Djokovic

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have emerged as the next generation of star names on the ATP Tour, but Rafael Nadal is not convinced they have taken the game to the next level.

Alcaraz and Sinner have made Grand Slam breakthroughs in recent years, with both beating Novak Djokovic on their way to winning the titles at Wimbledon and the Australian Open.

That has sparked suggestions that the next generation is ready to take the game to the next level, but 22-time Grand Slam king Nadal is not so sure.

Alongside Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, Nadal dominated the big tournaments in tennis for the best part of two decades, with their era slowly coming to an end as the sands of time caught up with the great champions.

Yet Nadal argued Djokovic’s success in winning the Australian Open, French Open and US Open last year confirmed he is yet to be dethroned as the man to beat in men’s tennis, even as he approached his 37th birthday.

Djokovic: 'I lost to a better player today' - Roland-Garros - The official site

In an interview with the Tennis Channel, Nadal acknowledged the rise of new stars in the men’s game, but he argued the dominance of Djokovic in 2023 suggests they have not taken the game away from

“I don’t know. No idea. Of course, they are amazing players, but at the same time, if we put in perspective that Novak Djokovic won three of four Grand Slams and played the final of another one, I mean he’s from my generation.

“So of course they’re doing amazing things. But on the other hand, a player from my generation and similar. I mean, of course, little bit better numbers, but a similar level at the level that we played, for a long time, still having a lot of success.

“That says that tennis has amazing new champions, but at the same time, things haven’t changed that much.”

Nadal’s comments have sparked suggestions that he was hinting Djokovic has had an easier run to Grand Slam titles since he was taken out of the game due to injuries and Federer announced his retirement in 2022.

That observation is backed up by facts, with Djokovic winning 12 of his 24 Grand Slam titles since 2018, when Federer and Nadal were on the slide for a variety of reasons.

Djokovic’s longevity at the top of the game is a hugely impressive facet of his legacy, but he has also admitted the challenge of winning big titles has changed since his biggest rivals made their exits.

“So everything happens in life for reason and I think that it’s beautiful for our sport that we had, amazing rivalries that have really marked an incredible two decades,” said Djokovic.

“I remember John McEnroe was saying in one of the documentaries that I’ve seen recently that when Bjorn Borg retired, he felt like part of him also retired, even though he kept going.

“I mean, I try to find a new rival, and I had some great matches with Alcaraz and Sinner lately, but they still remain the two biggest rivals I’ve ever had.

EXCLUSIVE :Ryan Garcia says he will move up to heavyweight and wants to fight Anthony Joshua: I’m going to kick his ass…

By
Ryan Garcia Anthony Joshua

Ryan Garcia continues to live his moment of fame after his surprise win over Devin Haney last weekend, and he’s even already thinking about a heavyweight fight against Anthony Joshua.

For some time now, Garcia has been in the middle of controversy for his behavior and his controversial comments through social networks, which have even made many people worry about his mental health, or that they thought he was not taking his fight against Devin Haney seriously as he seemed to spend too much time posting messages on the networks

But the 25-year-old stunned the world by dominating The Dream, turning the night at the Barclays Center into a nightmare for his Californian rival who still holds the WBC Super-lightweight title.

READ MORE NEWS :Anthony Joshua hints mega clash with Tyson Fury will happen in September and says ‘it’s coming, most definitely’

Now he’s aiming to punch higher, literally, as he calls out Anthony Joshua who is the former unified heavyweight champion of the world who recently knocked out Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia.

Ringside video of Gervonta Davis win against Ryan Garcia

“However, we want AJ [Joshua]. I want AJ I want AJ,” Garcia said during a livestream on X.com, formerly Twitter. “I want to fight AJ, come on.

“I’m going up to heavyweight. Give me about three years, I’m going to kick his ass. Hey, when I knock AJ out, what would they [haters] say then? After that, they won’t be able to [hate me].”

It’s going to be tongue in cheek otherwise it would be an insane thing to attempt to pull off as Joshua enjoys an eight-inch height advantage, 12-inch reach advantage and weighed 111 pounds more than Garcia did against Haney, when he took on Ngannou recently.

Who is next for Ryan Garcia?

Garcia’s victory over Haney reassured the boxing world that he is still a serious force to be reckoned with after Gervonta Davis knocked him out in early 2023 and now he’s looking to his next target but who might that be?

The Mexican-American is set to step up to a different weight class entirely as he could face off with Tim Tszyu at 154 pounds in a super-welterweight face-off, with Sebastian Fundora being unavailable due to injury and Tszyu is pushing for it to happen.

Last Person to Fight Mike Tyson Reveals Only Way Jake Paul Can Beat ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’

By

Only if there was a specific way to defeat Mike Tyson, many of his vanquished opponents could have stood a chance. Lucky for Jake Paul, who will fight Tyson on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Roy Jones Jr. has got his back. Having faced Tyson back in 2020 in an exhibition bout, ‘Captain Hook’ has firsthand experience of being on the wrong end of Tyson’s punches.

So, while appearing in an interview with Shane Mosley, who has trained Jake Paul for the AnEsonGib fight, Jones Jr. revealed the only way Jake Paul could win. Quick note: Mosley recently revealed ‘The Problem Child’ has bulked up, weighing in at 230-pounds, compared to Tyson’s 220-pounds in the last fight. Despite that, the weight is not the only difference maker, according to Jones.

Speaking to Jones, Mosley quickly asked for Jones’ prediction for the fight. In response, the former world champion said, “[I will tell you] what happens [if] they fight a real fight? And [if] Mike is in shape like he got in shape for me, [it’s] gonna be very problematic for Jake Paul.” However, Jones believes the opposite could also happen, especially since Paul is 230-pounds.

Considering the possibility that Tyson doesn’t show up in shape, Jones said, “[If] Jake’s 230 and Jake knows how to push him back and not get caught, those big shots early Jake can win the fight.” At the same time, Jones suggested everything depends upon how Tyson is preparing for the fight.

While Jones has etched the things Paul needs to do to win, Mike Tyson had predicted the outcome long before signing the deal.

However, “[Jake’s] punches you can see coming a mile away, you can see that coming a mile away. I’m 55, I can see that coming a mile away,” Tyson added. He even suggested that he would beat “these f***ers [Jake and Logan Paul]” with ease, and there wouldn’t be any need for boxing. The only thing Tyson said he would need is 30 straight days of training, and with that, he wouldn’t even have to focus on his diet.
