Terence Crawford to face Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis this year if Turki Alalshikh manages to make it happen

By
Terence Crawford Jaron 'Boots

The fight that everyone has been waiting for might just happen in 2024 with the help of this member of the Saudi Royal Court, but it won’t be easy

Boxing fans around the globe have been eagerly awaiting this fight, and with the help of an efficient mastermind, there is a great chance it could happen.

Saudi Royal Court member Turki Alalshikh has a real shot at organizing the highly anticipated Terence Crawfordvs. Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis fight. Although many boxing fans have long awaited this matchup, there are still details to iron out.

His Excellency faces some challenges in the near future because Crawford is set to face Israil Madrimov this summer. This fight is believed to be scheduled in Los Angeles, California, on the first weekend of August. Terence, a welterweight champion, will gain up to 7 more pounds to challenge Madrimov in the super welterweight division, moving from 147 to 154 pounds.

If this fight occurs and Crawford maintains his undefeated status (40-0, 42 KOs), everything points to a bout against ‘Boots’, even though he has never shown much excitement to face Ennis (31-0, 28 KOs). However, given that Terence Crawford would fight in August, there is a possibility he might not step into the ring until 2025.

Is ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in the plans of His Excellency?

Another fight that Turki Alalshikh is looking to set up involves Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, who will be battling Jaime Munguia on Saturday, May 4. Regardless of the outcome, ‘Canelo’ could face Terence Crawford soon. Alvarez (59-2-2, 39 KOs) has his eyes set on another fight in 2024, which would prevent a meeting with Crawford this year. However, with a short list of adversaries, His Excellency will be looking to capitalize on the success of the Mexican boxer early next year.

Munguia (43-0, 34 KOs), on the other hand, could suffer a significant blow to his career if he falls to ‘Canelo’, especially after not performing as well as everyone expects, based on average exhibitions in his recent fights.

More details about Crawford’s next two opponents will be revealed after this summer.

Tom Kim to play alongside Tiger Woods in TGL’s inaugural season

By
Tom Kim Tiger Woods

Korea’s Tom Kim will play alongside Tiger Woods in the first season of the TGL for the four-man Jupiter Links Golf Club, the club and the PGA announced in a press release Monday.

Joining them on the roster are Max Homa, a six-time PGA champion, and Kevin Kisner, with four PGA wins.

Kim, 21, was previously confirmed to be on the roster for the TGL, a team golf league backed by Woods and Rory McIlroy set to launch in January 2025, but was not yet committed to a team.

“I am so excited about playing in the TGL format with this group of guys. Obviously, I grew up inspired by Tiger Woods, but Max and Kevin are two of my favorite guys out on Tour. Both are genuinely good guys, but both also have a similar competitive fire.” Kim said in the press release Monday. “It will be incredible to join these guys as teammates. To talk strategy with Tiger in a true competition is something I never dreamed could happen.”

Tom Kim tells hilarious childhood story of his first interaction with Tiger Woods | This is the Loop | GolfDigest.com

Kim, with three career wins on the PGA Tour, is the youngest player on the team. He won his first two, the Wyndham Championship in 2022 and the first Shriners Children’s Open of 2023, before turning 21 years old, becoming the youngest player to achieve that feat since Woods, who did it five years before Kim was born.

“Tom is so good and a very underrated player in my opinion. He stepped up for the International Team at the Presidents Cup [in 2022] when they needed it, which as a rookie, is no easy task. I’m excited to have him on the team,” Woods said in the press release.

UPDATE :TIGER WOODS LISTED AS ACTIVE FOR MASTERS GOLF TOURNAMENT, FUELING SPECULATION OF AUGUSTA NATIONAL RETURN

The TGL is set to pit six teams of players on the PGA Tour against one another at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida in a faster-paced, teched-out version of the sport. The golf league will run in a format similar to professional team sports, earning points for wins and a chance to move up on a six-team table.

Each team, representing clubs based in Jupiter, Atlanta, Boston, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, will play five matches for a spot in the playoffs. Each player will be hooked up to a mic.

The first three matches of the TGL have been scheduled to premiere on consecutive Tuesdays in January and will also be broadcast on ESPN.

‘Gonna get hurt’ – Gervonta Davis tells Ryan Garcia to retire from boxing for surprising reason after Devin Haney win

By
Gervonta Davis Ryan Garcia Devin Haney

Gervonta Davis has surprisingly told his old rival Ryan Garcia that he should now retire from boxing.

Garcia achieved a career-best win on Saturday night by beating Devin Haney.

The young American floored his rival three times as he shocked the boxing world and ultimately won on points.

From the very first bell Garcia seized control, hurting Haney with a left hook in the opening round.

Haney boxed well in the next few sessions, but was stunned again in the sixth and knocked down for the first time his career in round seven.

The WBC super-lightweight world champion never truly recovered from this point on.

Garcia scored two further knockdowns in rounds 10 and 11 to seal a victory not many had predicted.

However, as he missed weight before the contest, he did not claim Haney’s belt with the win.

Regardless, the result is a huge triumph for Garcia and has set him up for massive future fights.

This was his second PPV outing, having lost his first major step-up against Gervonta Davis last year.

Davis was ecstatic with Saturday’s result, given that he had an ongoing feud with Haney and was delighted to see him lose.

However, his happiness at seeing Garcia emerge victorious has not prevented him from firing a few shots in his old foe’s direction also.

In a deleted tweet, Davis wrote: “It’s best Ryan retire now. He gonna get hurt bad.”

The likely provocation for this is the fact that Garcia and his promoter Oscar De La Hoya discussed a potential rematch with Tank at their post-fight press conference.

OLYMPIC LEGENDS NADIA COMANECI, MICHAEL JOHNSON PRAISE SIMONE BILES FOR PICKING UP HER FOURTH LAUREUS AWARD

By
SIMONE BILES MICHAEL JOHNSON

After a return to gymnastics competition that included winning historic U.S. and world all-around titles in 2023, American gymnastics superstar Simone Biles has won the Laureus World Comeback of the Year, the organisation announced Monday (22 April) at a ceremony in Madrid.

The award is Biles’ fourth Laureus World Sport Award after previously winning Sportswoman of the Year three times (2017, 2019, 2020).

“I am so honoured. It is unbelievable every time I’m nominated for an award, so I can’t thank you guys enough for recognizing the work that I do,” Biles said in a pre-recorded acceptance video. It’s been a dream come true since I was a little girl to be receiving awards like this one day, so thank you for making my dreams come true. I also want to say congratulations to all the other nominees.”

Simone Biles returning to elite competition since mental health focus break

At the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Biles made global headlines after withdrawing from several finals to priortise her mental health as she dealt with what gymnastics call ‘the twisties,’ where the body and mind fall out of sync. She returned to competition, claiming the balance beam bronze medal, but also having started a worldwide conversation about mental health.

Four-time Olympic gold medallist Michael Johnson praised Biles for her example.

“It’s not new that this is a very difficult position to be in, to be an athlete competing in front of millions of people with all of the expectation, it’s not new. It’s always been very difficult for athletes. But it has been very refreshing to see that now fans can accept that this is very difficult, and some times of athlete and needs to take time off,” said Johnson. “I thought Simone Biles back in 2021 during the Olympics was just an amazing moment for sport, but also for people outside [of sport]. You saw people outside of sport, as well, start to realise that this is important. Mental health is important, and so having that conversation, I think, has been fantastic, and another example of where sport can be in areas of society that are really important for people.”

After her second Olympic appearance, Biles stepped away from the sport, unsure of her future.

“I didn’t know if I was ever going to be able to compete again because there were multiple times this year where I was in the gym and I was like, ‘I’m actually terrified of this full-in, like I’m not doing it again, never going to do it,'” Biles told Olympics.com in an exclusive interview last year.

The day Mike Tyson’s post-prison physique scared Peter McNeeley

By
Mike Tyson Peter McNeeley

Peter McNeeley knows firsthand what it’s like to feel the force of Mike Tyson‘s punches. In 1995, McNeeley, also known as ‘Hurricane,’ found himself facing Tyson, experiencing the ferocious power of the former undisputed heavyweight champion.

McNeeley was thrust into the spotlight to take on Tyson in what was ‘Iron Mike’s’ first fight back after his release from prison. Tyson had been incarcerated since 1992 after being convicted of the rape of Desiree Washington, receiving a six-year sentence, of which he served three years before being granted parole.

With speculation rife about who Tyson would face in his comeback fight, including rumors of a potential showdown with George Foreman, Tyson’s promoter Don King ultimately settled on McNeeley, a relatively lesser-known opponent.

The highly anticipated bout, billed as ‘He’s Back,’ took place on August 19, 1995, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

A scary Tyson

Despite McNeeley‘s pre-fight bravado, he was unable to back up his words in the ring and was dispatched by Tyson in a mere 89 seconds. Reflecting on his experience facing Tyson during an interview with Sports Illustrated in 2010, McNeeley emphasized the sheer power of Tyson‘s punches.

“At the weigh-in, I was 224Ibs and he was 220,” he recalled.

Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter admits fears Tyson Fury will withdraw from undisputed world heavyweight title fight… as he names replacement if the Gypsy King pulls out

By
Oleksandr Usyk Tyson Fury

Oleksandr Usyk‘s promoter Alexander Krassyuk has revealed fears Tyson Fury will withdraw from next month’s undisputed world heavyweight title fight.

The Gypsy King meets Usyk on May 18 in Riyadh as they bid to become the undisputed world heavyweight champion.

The clash had been scheduled to take place in Riyadh on February 17 but was postponed after Fury sustained an injury during camp.

He suffered a severe cut above his right eye on Friday while sparring, which has been labelled by his promotion team as a ‘freak cut’.

Krassyuk told Boxing Scene he still has doubts that Fury will step into the ring with Usyk next month, claiming the Gypsy King has already withdrawn four times from the fight.

Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk undisputed heavyweight boxing title clash agreed for Saudi Arabia - Eurosport

‘Usyk has actually had a triple camp for this fight,’ Krassyuk said. ‘He started in September for the fight to take place last December.

‘We showed up to the Ngannou fight to step in the ring to announce the fight for the undisputed, but his team jumped and said he didn’t look that good, so Usyk gave him some space to prepare at his camp in Saudi Arabia.

We were then meant to fight on Feb. 17, then we were rescheduled for May. Tyson Fury has withdrawn four times already from this fight.

‘I’ve not got too much confidence in the rematch happening, by the way. If Tyson Fury loses, will he have the confidence to step inside the ring again? Theoretically he can, but we all know what happened in the rematch with Wladimir Klitschko.’

The winner of the highly-anticipated bout will also unify the division for the first time since Lennox Lewis beat Evander Holyfield in March 1999.

Fury is adamant the fight will take place on May 18 – insisting he is focused on beating the Ukrainian boxer.

Fighters have promised to forfeit $10m (£8m) if they pulled out of the fight, but Krassyuk remains doubtful Fury will compete.

EXCLUSIVE :Wilder fired up for potential Joshua clash

By
Wilder Joshua

Former WBC heavyweight chaWilder fired up for potential Joshua clashmpion Deontay Wilder is sure that a fight with Anthony Joshua will happen in the future despite recent setbacks, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

The American heavyweight faces Zhilei Zhang June 1, six months on from his shock defeat to Joseph Parker. The loss to Parker in December derailed a planned fight against Joshua, but Wilder says the long-awaited bout can still happen.

“People are always going to want to see that fight no matter what,” Wilder told BBC Sport.

“I put it in the high 90s (percentage chance of happening).”

READ MORE :Anthony Joshua backed to ‘wipe the floor’ with Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury by Derek Chisora due to key change

Wilder’s trainer Malik Scott has backed his fighter to reassert himself among the likes of Fury, Usyk and Joshua, but insists he must stop Zhang in style if he is to have any chance.

Eddie Hearn says Deontay Wilder vs Anthony Joshua fight is off and it would be a 'mismatch' | talkSPORT

“It’s really do or die now, he has to get this done and in his position he can’t get it done just any way, he has to get it done in a violent manner,” Scott told Sky Sports.

Joshua and Wilder both fought on the same night last December, with a view to meeting in April 2024, but the British-Nigerian was forced to face former UFC champion Francis Ngannou instead, after Wilder’s defeat.

Wilder says the loss was in part down to his 14 months of inactivity leading up to the Parker fight, but said a big win will resurrect interest in the contest.

Djokovic won the last of his four awards back in 2019 and could claim number five when the Laureus Sports Awards Ceremony takes place in Madrid. For the fourth time in his career, he won three of the four Grand Slam tournaments but lost in the Wimbledon final to Carlos Alcaraz.

His triumph at the US Open in September saw him match Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24 major titles and ‘The Joker’ – who last received the Laureus Award in 2019, is “thrilled to be nominated once again”.

The awards, held annually since 2000, are decided by a jury comprising 69 members of the Laureus World Sports Academy representing the past 50 years of athletic excellence. The event prides itself on remaining “the gold standard for the stars of world sport, who each year hope to see their names added to a list of winners that includes all-time greats”.

“I have won this award four times, and each one has been very special and unforgettable in its own way,” said Djokovic. “It’s an honour unlike any other because it’s the Laureus Academy who make the decision, and they know what it’s like to reach the summit of their sport, and what it takes to stay there.”

Academy members include football greats Luís Figo, Ruud Gullit and Alessandro Del Piero, and pioneers like Morocco’s Nawal El Moutawakel whose 400m hurdles gold at Los Angeles 1984 saw her become the first woman from an Islamic nation to win Olympic gold.

On the women’s front, Bonmatí will be the hometown favourite after achieving great success at club and international level. The 26-year-old collected the Golden Ball for the best player of the tournament as Spain secured a first FIFA Women’s World Cup crown.
