44-0 star Floyd Mayweather humiliated in one now ranked by WBC

By
Floyd Mayweather

A boxer humiliated by Floyd Mayweather in one round has fought back to be ranked by the World Boxing Council.

Tenshin Nasukawa, who battled Mayweather in his first-ever boxing bout at the age of 20 in 2018, was a successful kickboxer at the time. He remains undefeated in that code at a startling 44-0.

However, after sharing the ring with Mayweather, albeit for only one round – as the legend pulverized Tenshin, the Japanese star turned to professional boxing full-time in 2023.

He’s since won three bouts in a row, including a January 2024 victory over the world-rated Luis Robles Pacheco. That triumph gave the WBC impetus to rate Tenshin at super bantamweight.

Nasukawa entered the WBC Rating System at number 21, having been impressive since the humbling by Mayweather. On New Year’s Eve five years ago, Nasukawa agreed to face Mayweather in a RIZIN exhibition. The result wasn’t his best despite gaining valuable experience.

Mayweather dropped Tenshin three times. The five-weight champion humiliated the youngster in front of his own people before ‘Money” ended the fight before too much damage was done.

Credit has to go to Tenshin for dusting himself down and embarking on an impressive winning run in kickboxing and then boxing. He can now challenge for a WBC title with one more win.

WBC Ratings

Meanwhile, the WBC issued a “Thank You” message to all this month’s new entries to the Ratings, which included the young kickboxing superstar.

Floyd Mayweather will fight Logan Paul in February 2021 match

“The World Boxing Council wishes to recognize and congratulate the boxers who entered the February 2024 ratings based on their efforts and results. The WBC ratings have been published month by month since 1968. They consist of the top 40 boxers from all divisions.

“The rating committee comprises a director, an assistant director, an executive secretary, and 22 experts, experienced members from many nations worldwide.

“This committee is dedicated to compiling the results of fights and essential information to carry out a thorough, detailed, and comprehensive analysis of the fighters’ achievements to define their position in the WBC’s lists.

Francis Ngannou vows ‘I’m not leaving boxing’ regardless of Anthony Joshua result

By
Francis Ngannou Anthony Joshua

Francis Ngannou’s transition to boxing may have started as a side hustle, but as he readies to face Anthony Joshua on Friday, that mission statement has shifted to something more.

“I will definitely still do some MMA fights, but I’m not leaving boxing,” Ngannou said Monday at the event’s grand arrivals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

“Remember, at the beginning, it was boxing. I wasn’t aware of MMA. And for more than a decade, it was all about boxing, dreaming about boxing. And then even when the opportunity came around [in MMA], it was, for me, an opportunity to shine, to be a world champion, and then potentially switch to do the crossover and go back to boxing, because I feel like it was something that I needed, I had to fulfill in order to be at peace with myself. In order to retire peacefully, I needed to do that boxing because I just love it. I can’t tell you why, but I love it and I enjoy it.”

Ngannou, 37, faces two-time former heavyweight champion Joshua, 34, in a 10-round bout this weekend at Kingdom Arena. The fight is the second of Ngannou’s burgeoning professional boxing career — the former UFC heavyweight champion stunned the combat sports world in October when he knocked down Tyson Fury in his pro debut and nearly came away with one of the greatest upsets in the history of the sweet science. Ngannou ultimately lost a split decision, however his performance blew away the expectations of many and left boxing lifers such as Eddie Hearn and Carl Frampton singing his praises.

Ngannou is also signed with PFL and has pledged repeatedly that he will compete for the MMA organization before his career is over. Renan Ferreira, the 2023 PFL season heavyweight champion, recently demolished Bellator champ Ryan Bader with a 21-second knockout at the PFL vs. Bellator event to ostensibly earn the right to welcome Ngannou to the PFL whenever “The Predator” makes his promotional debut. Ferreira told MMA Fighting that he will not enter the 2024 PFL season and will instead opt to wait for Ngannou.

It remains unclear when or if that PFL debut will come, and that question may only be further complicated if Ngannou stuns the combat sports world again by defeating Joshua.

Anthony Joshua: BREAKING: Francis Ngannou vs. Anthony Joshua fight on the table for summer 2023

After previously working with boxing legend Mike Tyson for his Fury camp, Ngannou said Monday that he and Tyson were unable to work together for this fight, however the lessons he gleaned from Tyson have stayed at the forefront of his mind ahead of his big night.

“I was and I’m still working on the basics. I think from the moment that you forget about the basics, the fundamentals, you [lose what works],” Ngannou said. “Because what made me really be inspired and be [in] love [with] the Mike Tyson style so much was the fundamentals. Mike Tyson, he could’ve beaten the world champion and he was just [using] the fundamentals. You could’ve put a video of Mike Tyson [on] and take a 5-year-old kid and say, ‘OK, look, this how to box. This is the footwork. This is a jab. This is this.’ Everything was just the fundamentals, and fundamentals get the job done.”

“I’m not a fool. I know that I’m not at the same technique level as those guys,” Ngannou continued. “I’m not saying you’re calling me a fool, I’m just pointing it out — I know the situation. All of them, they’ve been doing this sport for over 20 years at a high-level, full-time, and I’m just getting in, although I was passionate about it my entire life. But I know that I’m not going out there to show something extravagant that I know, that I’ve been practicing. Stick on the fundamentals.”

Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou: AJ says former UFC champion is not a ‘gimmick’ opponent and believes he beat Tyson Fury

By
Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou will meet in a heavyweight clash live on Sky Sports Box Office on Friday March 8; scroll down for booking information – how and when to book via remote or online

Anthony Joshua dismissed suggestions that Francis Ngannou is a ‘gimmick’ opponent and believes the former UFC champion was wrongly denied a victory over Tyson Fury.

Joshua has won his last three fights, the most recent against Otto Wallin in a dominant five-round win in December, and will face Ngannou in their non-title contest in Friday’s crossover super-fight in Saudi Arabia, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

The mixed martial arts star made his professional boxing debut in October last year where he knocked down Tyson Fury in the third round only to be denied victory as Fury escaped with a contentious split-decision win.

“I was watching the Fury and Ngannou fight from home and from what I saw I thought he won,” Joshua told Sky Sports.

“It’s not a gimmick, it’s not something that’s benefiting the broadcasters, it’s not just a fight for entertainment purposes.

“This is a serious fight with someone who is prepared and understands the dynamic of boxing and he’s putting up a good fight against the apparently generational great. So, I look at it now as something completely different.

“To be classified as a world-class heavyweight I would say that you have to stay there for a period of time. But I think that he’s an athlete with a lot of potential.

“I think he should stay in boxing in my opinion, he’s got great potential to make waves.

“In terms of the word ‘gimmick’ we can get rid of that. In terms of the whole crossover aspect of what boxing is, it’s not that Ngannou was a gimmick or Fury was a gimmick, but the whole MMA crossing over into boxing I looked at it as a gimmick, but now I can see that there are certain fighters in the MMA world that can box, and he’s one of them.

“It’s good news for us fighters and good news for broadcasters because they’ve got me and Ngannou going at it in a few days.”

Great Britain’s Joshua suffered successive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk before winning his three consecutive fights whilst Ngannou was the reigning UFC heavyweight champion before he left the promotion to begin his boxing career and has 17 wins and three losses from his time in MMA.

“My mentality is that I’m fighting a talented fighter, like every fight there is massive jeopardy and I’ve got to take it seriously,” Joshua continued.

“At the time I looked at it more as a benefit for the broadcasters and sponsors. Now I look at it as someone who is serious about fighting, serious about MMA and serious about boxing.

“That’s why I’m here, because I love the same thing he does, I love to fight. When I saw the fight with Tyson Fury I thought: ‘He knows what he’s doing, he can handle himself.’

“A lot of people say he won the fight and I thought this is a great challenge for me because I need to figure out more about myself, if it’s not a challenge then I am going to stick to what I know best and I’m going to stay in my comfort zone.

“But when I saw the fight he put up against Fury, I thought this is a challenge which has driven me to push on and push on from my career so it’s going to have massive benefits for me in the long-run as well.”

Before Fury fought Ngannou, he said the whole of boxing’s reputation is on his shoulders, but Joshua doesn’t feel that kind of pressure.

“I haven’t thought of it that way because it’s only my pressure. I don’t put that pressure on myself and I don’t have that thought about anything. I just think about winning and doing what I need to do, that’s my mentality,” Joshua added.

“It’s a fight, it’s a 50/50 fight. Anything can happen. Crazier things have happened before. It is what it is. It’s a great opportunity for me to go back to work. If I didn’t take this opportunity that’s presented to me, when would I be fighting next?

“When you look at it, I’m not at the start of my career, I’m not at the middle of my career, I’d say I’m probably towards the end of my career.

“Call it whatever you want to call it, I’m just happy to be at work and doing my job and I can’t wait for the next opportunity that presents itself.”

Will Tiger Woods Use a Golf Cart at Seminole Pro Member After Worrying Illness That Forced Genesis WD?

By
Tiger Woods

Golf is a strenuous sport. It is especially so for a person such as Tiger Woods who came back to the game after a long hiatus owing to the health problems that arose after the accident in 2021. But there is a way in which the golfer can traverse the golf course without any worries. Yes, you guessed it right. Through a golf cart!

Many people do tend to use the vehicle on the grounds to prevent exhaustion. Besides, the 15-time major champ himself had gone through an unfortunate situation when he was escorted out of the Genesis Invitational on a cart due to his illness. Thus, one can’t help but wonder if he would go ahead and use the assistance at the upcoming Seminole Pro-Member!

A physical test for Tiger Woods at Seminole

Back in 2023, at the Hero World Challenge, the 48-year-old had said a resounding ‘No’ when asked about the same. Moreover, even at the PNC Championship that followed, the professional chose not to ride the vehicle on the golf course, all the while mentioning how physically fit he was during the father-son event.

Tiger Woods by the numbers and key career accomplishments

Now, coming to the exclusive event at the Seminole Golf Club. Although the 82-time PGA Tour champ has the option of using one at his debut appearance at the elite-filled tournament, based on prior experiences, Woods would probably, if not certainly, decline the use of the golf cart on the course.

Moreover, he had expressed his thoughts during the PNC Championship in December when he said, “I felt like I was physically fit to do it, and also, walking is always better for my back.” Adding on, he continued, “I just wanted to keep it loose and keep it going, and we’re just having so much fun,” before going ahead to say how he had a good time walking the course with his son.

Woods has more often than not voiced his opinion against using assistance on the greens when it comes to the tournaments on the circuit. He has done so in tandem with the PGA Tour’s policy, which does not allow its athletes to use one unless there is the presence of a valid medical reason. But the case is different for an event like the Seminole Pro-Member.

On the other hand, when it comes to using carts at special tournaments, he has no qualms about it. “We wouldn’t be able to see the likes of Lee Trevino and Gary Player out here,” said the golfer back in 2021 at the PNC Championship when asked about using the vehicle before going ahead to mention how it would be beneficial for guys who are in their 80s out on the greens. Adding on, he said, “To be able to play with their child in this event, having a cart allows them to do that.” 

Well, although the upcoming match would allow one for the professional, chances are really low for Woods to use one. Especially so since he had divulged his ankle to be pain-free a while back!

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens enjoy date night following their vacation to Hawaii

By
Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens

Following their swift retreat in Hawaii, legendary gymnast Simone Biles and her husband Jonathan Owens recently enjoyed their date night. Biles and Owens enjoyed the night during the NFL off-season.

The couple exchanged their wedding vows on April 22, 2023, after getting engaged in February 2022. Soon after their marriage, in May 2023, the NFL player signed a deal with the Green Bay Packers as their strong safety and had to move to Wisconsin.

Since then, the couple has been navigating a long-distance relationship and they frequently try to take time out of their busy schedule to be together. Recently, they were seen relishing their date night in Texas at a place that appeared to be a carnival.

Biles shared a series of photos with fans on her Instagram story. She initially shared a mirror selfie, where she was seen donning a brown jacket and denim shorts. She paired her outfit with high brown cowboy boots.

Anthony Joshua takes on Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia on Friday as he looks to avoid a major slip-up in his bid to become world champion for a third time

Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou clash on Friday – and we will have all the latest news ahead of the heavyweight showdown.

Joshua will be looking for his fourth win in succession after recording three wins in 2023; against Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius and Otto Wallin. The Brit should be preparing to take on Deontay Wilder this week but the American wrecked those plans when he lost to Joseph Parker two nights before Christmas.

Ngannou almost stunned the boxing world into silence last October when he dropped Tyson Fury in the third round of his boxing debut only to lose a controversial split decision after 10 intriguing rounds. Here, we will bring you the latest news from fight week in Riyadh ahead of the latest test in Joshua’s career…

Ngannou: Joshua is more serious than ‘playboy’ Fury

Francis Ngannou fight an option for Anthony Joshua, says Eddie Hearn - BBC Sport

”Anthony Joshua never trash talks, his personality is more serious unlike Tyson Fury who is more like a playboy. I think when it comes to fighting, they both know how to fight and that’s what I’m focused on,” Ngannou said in an exclusive interview with Mirror Fighting.

Ngannou: I was born to fight

Francis Ngannou insists he is a born fighter who is capable of knocking out Anthony Joshua ahead of their bout on Friday.

Ngannou insists his lack of experience in the ring will not prevent him from springing a shock in Riyadh.

“I finished my training camp yesterday and I feel good,” the 37-year-old told Sky Sports News. “It has been a tough eight weeks to get here. I feel like I did everything that could be done.

“I believe if I land on anybody I knock them out. But the question is how to land, that is the hardest thing. How to carry that power and energy for 10 rounds and still be able to knock someone out after all the fatigue. I don’t have experience in boxing but, don’t make any mistake, I had a lot of experiencing in life, of fighting.

“I view my fighting spirit as high as anybody else’s. I don’t have any (boxing) experience but I know I can fight. You’re born as a fighter, you don’t become a fighter, I do believe that.”

Joshua the favourite

Anthony Joshua will start as the odds-on favourite on Friday – but so did Tyson Fury last October. On that occasion, Fury was dropped in the third round by the former UFC champion, only to recover and outpoint Ngannou after 10 rounds. This fight week feels different however, with no-one writing off the Cameroonian in quite the same way they did last year.

Tiger Woods wins the 2024 Bob Jones Award – the USGA’s highest honor – with the 15-time major winner set to receive the prize at this year’s US Open

By
Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods has been named as the recipient of this year’s Bob Jones Award by the USGA.

The Bob Jones Award is the highest honor from the USGA that recognizes his commitment to sportsmanship and respect for golf’s traditions.

‘This award goes beyond playing performance, recognizing the lasting impact of one person’s journey that has forever changed the image and growth of golf,’ said Mike Whan, the CEO of the USGA.

‘There are very few who stand alongside Tiger Woods in terms of on-course accomplishments, and he is in a class of his own when it comes to the impact he has made on the game and future generations who will play it.’

Woods is used to being honored for his performances on the course, where he has won 15 majors among his 82 career victories on the PGA Tour.

The 48-year-old Woods was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2022, and he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Donald Trump in 2019.

Woods is a nine-time USGA champion, winning three straight U.S. Junior Amateurs, followed by three straight U.S. Amateurs, and then the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach (2000), Bethpage Black (2002) and Torrey Pines (2008).

‘Bob Jones was a pillar of our game because of the integrity with which he played it, and I’m truly humbled to receive the award that bears his name and join the many who have received it before me who continue his legacy,’ Woods said in a statement.

Jones won the Grand Slam in 1930 when it was comprised of the U.S. Open, U.S. Amateur, British Open and British Amateur. He later co-founded Augusta National Golf Club and created the Masters.

Off the golf course, Woods launched what now is called the TGR Foundation that emphasizes educational opportunities, along with STEM-based learning at the TGR Learning Lab in California. He also has started a golf course design firm. One of his courses in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, hosted a PGA Tour event last fall.

Terence Crawford gives big update on whether he’d fight Canelo Alvarez

By
Terence Crawford Canelo Alvarez
Terence Crawford’s next move is still unknown.

Terence Crawford has been linked to multiple fights since defeating Errol Spence last year, with the most intriguing one being a bout with Canelo Alvarez.

Crawford became the undisputed world champion at welterweight by beating Spence, but the majority of fights he’s been mentioned in occur in bigger weight classes.

With Crawford atop of most pound-for-pound lists, a fight with Canelo would see two of the sport’s best fighters go at it.

The Nebraska man would have to jump up three weight classes to secure the bout, but he’s got no issue doing that after admitting he’d be open to testing himself against the Mexican icon.
