Artur Beterbiev downs Dmitry Bivol: Round-by-round analysis

By
Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois

Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol are no threat to break revenue records when they fight Saturday for the unified light heavyweight title. But what the two Russian-born boxers lack in box-office appeal, they make up for with talent.

Loads of talent.

Beterbiev has power – thus, the 20-0 record with 20 knockouts.

Bivol has footwork and finesse – thus the 23-0 record. While he has just 12 KOs, he does boast an upset victory over Canelo Alvarez in 2022.

Both rank as high as No. 4 and no lower than No. 7 in pound-for-pound rankings generated by The Ring, ESPN, The Sporting News and CBS Sports.

“Woo,’’ Mike Tyson told USA TODAY Sports on Thursday when asked about the fight. “I just think Beterbiev’s gonna do well. I’m a big fan of his. I’m being biased, it’s not fair to ask me that question.”

The question, of course, is who will prevail? What should be considered:

Keyshawn Davis Brands Gervonta Davis 5′5″ Midget in Fiery Statement

By
Keyshawn Davis Brands Gervonta Davis

Keyshawn Davis is climbing the ranks of the boxing world rapidly and just needs one statement: victory to establish himself as the top star in the lightweight division. A few weeks ago, Davis set his sights on the WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis and issued an informal challenge against the latter.

In his own words, the 2020 Olympic silver medalist called Tank a “target practice,” and stated that “I feel like I’ll beat Tank.” Well, two weeks have passed since the Norfolk native put Tank on notice and there has been no reply from the latter’s side. Keyshawn Davis was not fond of the disrespect and issued another challenge to the 30-0 boxer and put him on notice once again.

In an interview with Sean Zittel, the Businessman answered the reason behind his confidence and why he thinks that Gervonta Davis would be useless against him. The 25-year-old was vocal about his adaptability and how he tried different things against other opponents. “Because I do everything. I do different sh*t with different opponents,” stated Davis in a snarky tone. Even last time, Keyshawn Davis called the WBA lightweight champion one-dimensional in his approach.

Davis once again highlighted his height advantage against Tank and stated, “He’s a 5’5 midget. I got IQ, I’ve been all around the world. I’ve seen it all. ” Just like last time, he mentioned his superior defensive ability and the reach advantage he has over Gervonta Davis. He further recalled the times that both of them had sparred with each other.

“I’ve seen him. I’ve been in the ring with him (sparring) a couple of times,” revealed the Norfolk native, implying the fact that he has studied Tank completely and knows how to tackle him.

Even though Keyshawn Davis is oozing confidence, many in the boxing community feel that the 25-year-old still has to prove himself to challenge for the title. On the other hand, Gervonta Davis is completely focused on his December bout against Lamont Roach Jr. 

Gervonta Davis’ December showdown

Gervonta Davis is set to defend his WBA lightweight title against Lamont Roach Jr. on December 14, 2024. The fight will take place at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. With an undefeated record of 30-0 (28 KOs), Davis remains one of boxing’s biggest stars. Lamont Roach Jr., currently the WBA junior lightweight champion, is moving up in weight to challenge Davis.

‘Freak of Nature’: Simone Biles Fans in Shock as Gymnastics GOAT Perfectly Executes Another Skill

By
Simone Biles

Returning after three long years, the Gold Over America Tour is mesmerizing fans across the USA. Led by the enigmatic Simone Biles, the pop-styled show is showcasing the best of the sport in all its glory. However, the daunting pressure to keep the followers entertained doesn’t mean the squad can’t have fun on the road.

The GOAT gymnasts have been showing off their skills in the best way possible in the best venues across the country. Along with providing a thrilling experience to the fans, it is also proving to be a great time for the stars to bond. And now, as another BTS clip surfaces from the Biles & Co. camp, fans can’t help but affirm the Texan’s elite status once again.

Simone Biles

Simone’s colleague Ian Gunther recently shared a clip on Instagram highlighting how the GOAT gymnasts keep pushing each other to a greater standard. The social media post from October 8 shows Gunther, Biles, Joscely Roberson, and others trying their hands at a standing 1-and-a-1/2. While all others make a list of mistakes during the attempt, the 7x Olympic gold medalist executes the move with precision.

In the clip, it can be seen only Biles manages to land the move, while Yul Moldauer, Roberson, Gunther, and Casimir Schmidt all fail to do so. After her success, Simone noted that she wanted to take things further and claimed that she would like to try out the move on the beam as well. “I’m just a girl,” she jays jubilantly afterward.

Naturally, fans were delighted to see Biles doing what she does best: prove her superiority at every chance she gets. Claudio, like many of us, is stunned at how gracefully Simone can pull off even the most demanding skills with ease. “The girl is a freak of nature,” said the fan in the comments, hailing her as a true once-in-a-generation talent, and others vehemently agreed.

he gymnastics community is once again bowled over by Simone Biles

Simone Biles

“She the goat for a reason!!” proclaimed Kyla and Biles’ stats would confirm her statement. With 30 Olympic and World Championships gold medals to her name, Simone would still be the best American gymnast even if she didn’t compete at the 2024 Paris Games. With her triumphs in Paris, she has sealed herself as the best in the world, and Kyla’s comment reflects the sentiment of the community in general.

The Houston native has five skills named after her, a rare milestone for any gymnast. And now, as she expressed her wish to attempt the standing one-and-a-half on the beam, fans can’t help but speculate if a sixth Biles skill is on its way. “Omg ON BEAM! Could be the next Biles skill!” exclaimed another fan, and we’re just as excited to know for ourselves! “i think i would have an actual heart attack if she did that on beam,” said Georgie, noting how difficult the move looked on the mat.

Floyd Mayweather Dancing His Way Into $50M Private Jet Sets Boxing World Ablaze

By
Floyd Mayweather

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is one of the richest athletes in the world and is not shy to show it off to the world. He has an elite collection of cars, jewelry, and clothes, and a few months ago, he added a second private jet to his collection. Mayweather unveiled ‘Air Mayweather 2’ earlier this year in July and since then, ‘Money’ has constantly flexed the $50 million luxury on his stories and posts.

On Tuesday, he once again posted a story with his private jet and broke the internet. The fans were impressed by how far Mayweather has come from his humble beginnings.

Floyd Mayweather showing his moves

floyd mayweather jr Jon Jones

The former lightweight champion uploaded a story on his Instagram profile from a runway, which featured his private jet in the background. Mayweather shouted, “Time to go,” as he strolled towards his private jet. Living life to the fullest, Floyd Mayweather loves to have a good time in life.

Before boarding the jet, he broke out the famous ‘Tarmac 2’ dance steps on the runway itself before confronting the camera again. He shouted, “Time to go. Let’s go,” once again in an excited tone as he was ready to get into his $50 million luxurious ride.

‘Air Mayweather 2’ is a tree sign of luxury, as it includes 12 premium luxury leather seats, gold-plated cup holders, and custom tweaks that feature the Nevada resident’s name alongside the fuselage. The die-hard Mayweather fans know how much he has worked for all this luxury and are proud of everything he achieved. They ensured the 50-0 undefeated boxer with love on his latest story.

Fans loved the little shimmy and reacted online to voice their opinions.

An inspirational journey

floyd mayweather jr Jon Jones

One fan thanked god for all the things he has awarded Mayweather for his hard work and wrote, “🔥🔥🔥 God is good, all the TIME!!! Continued Blessings 🙏🏽,” implying the fact that if you work hard enough, god will bless you sooner rather than later. And very few people have worked harder than the 5’8″ feet boxer.

Another fan, knowing the story behind ‘Money’, wrote, “An inspirational brother,” witnessing Mayweather’s journey from a poverty-ridden childhood to becoming ‘Money.’ His father was incarcerated for d**g trafficking and he had to live with his grandmother in a small apartment in Grand Rapids, Michigan. But ‘Pretty Boy’ dedicated his life to boxing and, in the end, became an inspiration for everyone.

Another fan wrote, “A cool dude❤,” after looking at Mayweather’s Tarmac 2 dance steps as he walked towards his jet. The retired boxer was nonchalantly pulling off what seemed like his ‘Jacob and Co. Rainbow Tourbillon’ watch, which includes an 18K white gold case set with 416 diamonds. The watch was exclusively made for ‘Money’ and is the only piece in the entire world.

Floyd Mayweather

A rather jealous fan wrote, “WHO CARES.. I DONT.. he’s not being me no money FOH another puppet,” implying he does not care what Mayweather is doing or not. Because in the end ‘Money’ only earns for himself and does not give back to the world at all. However, that statement is incorrect, as Mayweather has consistently supported those in need through numerous charitable organizations. Back in 2021, he donated almost $1 million to several charities. Since then, he has been constantly helping small businesses and the homeless.

Another fan who felt the retired boxer’s aura through video wrote, “🖤🖤🖤 Mayweather,” as he witnessed something that no other boxer can pull no matter how hard they try. What do you think about Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s $50 million ride? Share your thoughts in the comments down below.

Canelo and Gervonta Davis Blasted as Tim Tszyu “Acting Like They Gotta Get In Diddy’s Pool” Splits Fans Over Beef With HE Turki Alalshikh

By
Canelo and Gervonta Davis

Tim Tszyu and HE Turki Alalshikh‘s relations are turning sour with every exchange and public comment. It seems their relationship is irreparable now, as the Australian champion has decided to engage in a verbal conflict with him. But, boxing fans are divided over the development.

Notably, Tszyu, 29, had to face Vergil Ortiz Jr., when Terence Crawford endeavored against Israil Madrimov and attempted to clinch the welterweight championship. However, he had to drop out of the coveted card, first by the Saudi Arabia manager, on American soil. As expected, the latter didn’t take it lightly, and he has since decided to cut ties with the former world champion. He had even declared, “I will not work with Tim Tszyu. Let him do his way, he doesn’t understand.” It didn’t take long for Tszyu to respond with an apt jab.

Tim Tszyu goes off on HE Turki Alalshikh!

Gervonta Davis 

The 24-1 record holder appeared in a conversation with Mo’Boxing, No Problem. In the video, the fans could hear the interviewer drawing a parallel between him, Gervonta Davis, and Canelo Alvarez. Referencing ‘Tank’s comments, they said, “It’s you, Gervonta Davis and Canelo. Gervonta said something interesting. He said, ‘You know, guys like me and Canelo, we kind of don’t have to kiss the ring, ’cause we can sell’.”

Following this, the host pointed out how the American boxer sold fights in America, whereas Alvarez sold tickets in Mexico and Tszyu did the same in Australia. When asked about Davis’ comment, Tszyu answered in an affirmative tone and continued, “Yeah, to a certain extent, yeah, there is. We don’t have to, again, sell our soul, as they say, for money.”

These comments compelled the fans to turn to the comment section and share what they thought of this statement.

Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis to defend his title against Lamont Roach Jr., at Houston’s Toyota Center

By
gervonta davis Lamont Roach Jr

Gervonta “Tank” Davis will defend his World Boxing Association lightweight title against junior lightweight champion Lamont Roach Jr., on Dec. 14 at Houston’s Toyota Center.

Although there’s been no official announcement from Premier Boxing Champions, the fight is expected to be a pay-per-view event. Even without an official announcement — it’s also not listed on the Toyota Center website yet — Davis let the cat out of the bag, first by posting on Instagram last week that he’d be fighting in Houston in December, and then by following up with another Instagram post on Monday announcing the date and the opponent.

Davis (30-0, 28 KOs), who turns 30 in November, is a boxing superstar. He’s held the title at three different weight classes and been the WBA champion at 135 pounds since 2023.

Gervonta Davis

This will be Davis’ first time fighting in Houston and second in Texas, having brutally knocked out Léo Santa Cruz in 2020 at the Alamodome in San Antonio.

Roach (25-1-1, 10 KOs) was given permission from the WBA to move up in weight to challenge Davis for his belt with an agreement that, if he wins, he’ll be given five days to decide which belt to keep and defend, and if he loses, he’ll be required to fight the 130-pound challenger within 120 days.

This will be Davis’ eighth straight time headlining a pay-per-view card. Each one has generated at least 200,000 buys with his 2023 knockout of Ryan Garcia going over 1 million.

It will be the first big fight at Toyota Center since Ryan Garcia stopped Oscar Duarte in December 2023.

WTA Finals in Riyadh a ‘great opportunity’ to promote women’s sport: Muguruza

By
Garbine Muguruza

The WTA Finals, scheduled to be held at King Saud University Indoor Arena in Riyadh from November 2-9, is a “great opportunity” to promote tennis and encourage more women in Saudi Arabia to take to the sport, Tournament Director and former tennis player Garbine Muguruza told Al Arabiya English in an exclusive interview.

“Riyadh is great [for the WTA Finals] because it is a market that is not too familiar with tennis. So, it is a wonderful opportunity to bring this event here for the community. It will feel like it is not something unreachable,” Muguruza said.

The season-ending crown jewel event on the Hologic WTA Tour features the top eight singles players and doubles teams, contesting for a record prize pool of $15.25 million.

Garbine Muguruza 

“This is the crown jewel of WTA, the most prestigious event. There are only eight players and it’s so hard to qualify. It takes the whole year and it’s the first time that Riyadh will be hosting an event of this magnitude,” Muguruza further said.

“Sports helps so much to unite cultures. I’m thrilled that there is a women’s event here of such a magnitude, and it is going to break the ice on the new [tennis] market here,” the former player said.

Growth of the sport

The WTA Finals Riyadh is a major element of the STF’s plans to increase participation in tennis across Saudi Arabia and fulfills one of the WTA’s goals of growing the game worldwide and inspiring a new generation of girls to take to the court.

According to Muguruza, WTA, and STF have a shared goal of inspiring more than one million new tennis players to take up the sport in Saudi Arabia through this upcoming tournament.
