Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua target date revealed by Turki Alalshikh

By
Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua could finally meet.

A target date has been set for the proposed showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

Fury has arrived in Saudi Arabia for his undisputed clash against Oleksandr Usyk, which is slated for May 18.

He landed in the Middle East without a key family member in his team.

Joshua, meanwhile, is coming off a devastating win over former UFC champion Francis Ngannou and looks set to return to action in September.

Providing the self-proclaimed ‘Gypsy King’ beats Usyk, then Joshua could finally meet his heavyweight rival in an all-British dust-up.

A monstrous clash between Fury and Joshua could take place in Saudi Arabia or England.

As for the contracted rematch between Fury and Usyk, Alalshikh is lining up the rematch for October 12 or October 13.

But their second meeting will be without the IBF world title as the governing body ruled that Filip Hrgovic’s mandatory title shot as No.1 contender is overdue, meaning he could fight for the vacant belt when he takes on Daniel Dubois on June 1.

However, Hrgovic has been linked with a fight with Joshua, who could enter a potential fight against Fury with undisputed status on the line should he beat the Croatian star if they fought this year.

What’s more, if Fury and Usyk split the two fights, the rubber match could take place later in 2025 after Fury vs. Joshua.

On Fury vs. Usyk, Joshua is predicting a win for his former foe, who has two wins over him.

“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,” he said.

EXCLUSIVE :Gervonta Davis Says He’d Be Open to Ryan Garcia Rematch Fight at 140 Pounds

By
Gervonta Davis Ryan Garcia

Gervonta “Tank” Davis hasn’t fought since he defeated Ryan Garcia in April 2023, but it sounds like another fight against Garcia is intriguing to the WBA lightweight champion.

Davis said during an appearance on the Cigar Talk podcast that he’d be open to a rematch against Garcia, but he called for the fight to take place at 140 pounds when he was told Garcia floated the idea of fighting at a catchweight of 145 pounds.

“He’s not even at 145, that’s not even a weight,” Davis said around the 6:00 mark. “Why it can’t be 140? Yeah, I’ll fight Ryan [again].”

Garcia may have already answered Davis’ question, as he failed to make the 140-pound limit for his fight against Devin Haney last month. He weighed in at 143 pounds and had to fork over $1.5 million as part of a bet with Haney as well as $600,000 from his fight purse.

Garcia went on to put on the best performance of his career, earning a majority decision win over Haney after scoring three knockdowns. However, it was announced after the fight Garcia tested positive for the banned substance Ostarine, so Haney is calling for the fight to be ruled a no-contest.

Davis fights at 135 pounds, so there’s virtually no chance of Garcia cutting to that weight. When they first fought, they met at a catchweight of 136 pounds with a 10-pound rehydration clause, and some pointed to that as being part of the reason Garcia folded on a body shot in the seventh round that gave Davis the TKO victory.

Novak Djokovic dreaming of incredible ranking milestones amid Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner woes

By
Novak Djokovic Carlos Alcaraz Jannik Sinner

The records continue to tumble for Novak Djokovic now can set his sights on extending his place in the record books.

While the world No 1 has confirmed that hanging onto that top ranking is no longer on his list of priorities, he could now be presented with a chance to push for another remarkable milestone given the unfortunate setbacks for his rivals in recent weeks.

World No 2 Jannik Sinner has tested Djokovic in their recent meetings, as he has won three of their last four matches, including an impressive victory in the Australian Open semi-finals last January.

Sinner also won titles in Rotterdam and Miami this year, edging him up to second place in the rankings for the first time and opening the door to ousting Djokovic from top spot in Rome next week.

Yet his injury has ended that dream for now, with Sinenr’s next big chance to get to the top of the ATP Rankings and become the first Italian player to achieve that is on hold for now.

Carlos Alcaraz makes claim about Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic having 'weak points'

Carlos Alcaraz’s hopes of a return to the top of the ATP Rankings have also suffered a hammer blow, with his ongoing forearm injury problem seeing him pull out of tournaments in Monte Carlo and Barcelona, while it affected his performance in his defeat against Andrey Rublev in Madrid.

World No 3 Alcaraz has now pulled out of the Italian Open and has to be a doubt for the French Open later this month, with his fitness levels unlikely to be at their peak even if he plays in Paris.

Daniil Medvedev is another player suffering from injury, with the world No 4 pulling out of the Madrid Masters with a leg problem as he joins the list of players facing a race to win a fitness battle ahead of the second Grand Slam of 2024.

Djokovic has points of his own to prove after a challenging start to the year that has seen him fail to win a title and suffered some unexpected defeats.

Carlos Alcaraz makes Jannik Sinner rankings claim as legend reveals how Novak Djokovic was beaten

Yet the Serbian legend has stated on numerous occasions that his chief targets for this year after the French Open and Wimbledon titles, as well as the Olympic Games in Paris.

“I don’t feel like I’m chasing anything now. I feel like I’m creating. That’s kind of a mindset I have,” said Djokovic.

“Of course, my greatest motivation is still love for the game. I really like competing. So as simple as that. Then, you know, I always have goals, you know, and to win another slam, to be No. 1 again, to finish the year as No. 1. Those are let’s say the big goals.

The challenge of playing week after week on the ATP Tour has been highlighted by the fitness issues afflicting Sinner, Alcaraz and Medvedev, with their bodies letting them down at a pivotal phase of the year.

Djokovic will need to raise his game to cash in on the misfortune of his big rivals, with some of his performance this year at a depleted level that will give lower-ranked players a chance to beat him.

Yet over a best-of-five-set format at the French Open and Wimbledon, Djokovic will fancy his chances of getting back onto the top step of winners’ podium at a time when the other member’s of the current top four in the rankings are all struggling.

Sinner’s absence from the Rome Masters ensured Djokovic will toast his 37th birthday as world No 1.

If he can win the French Open and Wimbledon once again this summer, it could give him a platform to aim for another year-end world No 1 ranking, with his weeks at the top after the age of 30 now up to a remarkable 200.

He will not retain the world No 1 ranking heading into the French Open, ensuring his run at the top of the ATP list will be stretched to at least 428 weeks.

Djokovic would need to continue his career well into 2026 to have a chance of holding the world No 1 spot for what would previously have been viewed as impossible 500 weeks, but anything is possible from this remarkable champion.

Tiger Woods will play the PGA Champions Tour in a cart due to injuries

By
Tiger Woods

Paul Broadhurst assures that the veterans tour will be happy to receive the former world number one.

Acouple of years ago, Tiger Woods reiterated his refusal to play a tournament in a golf cart. However, after his considerable problems with injuries, Paul Brdoadhurst assured that the former world number one will have to use a buggy to play the PGA Champions Tour.

Broadhurst has two second places on the PGA senior tour in the United States, and his earnings have just reached $728,000, all thanks to the Champions Tour rules allowing him to play tournaments in a golf cart.

Last year, PGA officials granted the player a waiver to use the buggy. The English golfer can no longer play the 18 holes on foot due to the arthritis he suffers from in one of his ankles, and he needs medication to allow him to walk.

His situation is similar to that of Woods, whose injury history has taken a heavy toll on him in recent seasons. The former world number one has had to withdraw from several of his most recent competitions for health reasons, but Broadhurst said that would not be a problem on the tour for players over 50.

Broadhurst assured that if he joined the Champions Tour, “Woods will be able to take a cart, that won’t be an issue for him. He will perhaps be looking forward to playing without walking around.”

At the same time, Broadhurst assured that Tiger would be more than welcome on the veterans tour. “No question. They are really hopeful, and I think he has given out signs that he is more than happy to play once he turns 50,” said the 2018 Senior PGA Championship champion.

Woods, 48, has battled multiple injuries throughout his career, but in recent years, his back and one of his ankles have been a constant source of discomfort. The Genesis Invitational this past February was his first tournament in 10 months, and he had to withdraw due to health problems; however, this time, it was a cold and had nothing to do with his injuries according to a spokeperson.

For his part, the English veteran recalled that he suffers from severe arthritis in his right ankle that would prevent him from walking the 18 holes of a round. However, since the PGAChampions Tour allowed him to use a cart, he has been able to be more consistent with his game.

He explained that his ankle needs surgery, but that will have to wait until his final retirement from the circuit. “At the moment, I have been told it is a year to recover from, but I haven’t got a year playing this game.”

“I am 58 years old. That will have to wait for a few more years. At the moment, we are fortunately able to take a cart. I can get around that way, and it doesn’t seem to be affecting my golf,” indicated the player.

“Blindsided” Simone Biles Stunned Over How Her Comeback Season Played Out

By
Simone Biles

Sometimes, flying too close to the sun can get your wings burned. America’s most decorated gymnast of all time  Biles has come a long way. As she prepares for another Olympic Games, fans will remember that her -comeback wasn’t a smooth sail. In a recent social media post, Simone talked about the trembling heart she had to keep hold of while making her comeback last year after the hiatus.

READ MORE NEWS :Fighting Deadly Gymnastics Scare, Simone Biles And LSU’s Konnor McClain’s Coaches Saved Their Paris Olympics Hope

In the post by Laureus on X, Biles stated, “…my standout moments from 2023, if I had to describe it, it would be “unpredictable.”” She said that she didn’t have plans of competing that year, especially with the Tokyo incident still fresh in her mind. On top of that, Biles is a stern planner who likes to mentally chalk out every detail of her life and career, and going into the new season without any prior thoughts about it made her heart quiver with anticipation.

Simone Biles | Biography, Olympics, Medals, & Facts | Britannica

To keep things less pressurizing, Simone confessed her focus was to get back some of her skills first. “And then I ended up competing, which I didn’t plan to, and I’m very big on planning – everything is a set schedule for me“, revealed the 27-year-old. Therefore, according to Simone, “going into a year kind of blindsided was a little bit nice” for her. It gave her the freedom to let things find their own course.

After the incident at the last Games, Biles stayed out of competition for a considerable time, only to return to action in 2023. And what a comeback it was! At the 2023 World Championships, Biles won five medals (four of them gold) to firmly announce her intentions of reclaiming her throne. Considering the fact that the feat took place in Antwerp, the very place where she turned heads ten years ago, made things even more formidable.

What Should Fans Expect From the Next Phase of Simone Biles's Career?

Biles’ tryst with mental health has been a long one. Apart from her troubles during the last Olympics, the entire incident with former US national gymnastics team coach Larry Nassar had left Simone and several of her colleagues traumatized by the experience that they had to go through. Having gone past such horrid moments in her life, Biles has taken a firm stand to advocate for athletes’ mental health. Ahead of last year’s World Championships, the four-time Olympic gold medalist noted that having faith in one’s own self is the key for anyone to continuously perform at the highest levels.

As the Texas native looks forward to securing her spot as a member of the national team for the upcoming Paris Olympics and touching bases all over the country for the Gold Over America Tour, it waits to be seen if her mental ordeals are now a thing of the past.

Jake Paul is already thinking beyond Iron Mike Tyson as the controversial YouTuber-turned-professional boxer has wasted no time in calling out Canelo Alvarez after the Mexican’s unanimous decision victory over Jaime Munguia in Las Vegas on May 4.

In what was a closer fight than people expected, the 33-year-old Alvarez proved he had the decisive edge in reaction time as he constantly evaded and slipped Munguia‘s punches. Across the bout, that eventually added up to a resounding 117-110, 116-111 and 115-112 win in front of a sold-out crowd at the T-Mobile Arena.
