‘Joshua breaking Paul’s jaw will teach him lesson’

Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski believes Jake Paul learned a valuable lesson after Anthony Joshua broke his jaw in two places during their December bout, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

Jake Paul Loses to Anthony Joshua in Heavyweight Fight

Paul suffered a knockout loss to Joshua, losing every round on the scorecards, including a 10-7 fifth round after the British boxer delivered multiple knockdowns.

The end came in the sixth after Joshua connected with a brutal right hand that broke Paul’s jaw in two places, ending the fight via knockout.

“I didn’t like it, but Jake Paul had great condition for six rounds,” Arlovski said about the fight when speaking to MMA Fighting.

“Obviously, he ran around; it doesn’t matter. He got his broken jaw. It’s not good. Broken jaw in two places is going to take some time to heal it to get recovered. We’ll see.

“Hopefully, maybe yes, maybe not, he’s going to get back into boxing. But for now, he might understand people who spend 10, 15, 20 years in boxing and MMA,

it’s not like you’re training hard like last month in a boxing gym or something or do MMA. People spend their lives over there.”

“To me, it’s all the time it was kind of disrespectful to professional athletes, to boxers and MMA,” Arlovski said.

“(He’s saying) ‘oh we spent the last year in the boxing gym non-stop!’ My guy, I spent the last 25 years non-stop in the gym and not once, two or three times a day.

“You think you’re superhuman, you can come (and take a shortcut)? I tried to watch my mouth, don’t say a bad word, but it’s not cool. Let’s put it this way. It’s not cool.”

Paul started his career with an 11-1 record largely built around beating MMA fighters and past-their-prime boxers like Mike Tyson and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Manny Pacquiao Joining TBL Casts Doubt on Floyd Mayweather Jr Rematch

Former eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao is set to return to boxing with the Team Boxing League, according to a media statement from the league.

“[Manny] Pacquiao will initially serve as a League Ambassador before transitioning into the ownership group. Most notably for fans, he is set to return to the ring as a Team Captain and active fighter for the San Diego TJ’s, one of the league’s newest expansion franchises,” said TBL in a press release.

The former senator in his native Philippines has signed to be part of the league through 2029. If he will compete beyond that season remains unclear.

Pacquiao will join the San Diego TJ’s this season, which has yet to be formed. While Pacquiao has a home in Southern California, he has no prior ties to San Diego, though his son, now a professional fighter, once competed in amateur matches there.

Joining the TBL, though, may nix the potential match between Pacquiao and his old nemesis, Floyd Mayweather Jr.

How big was Pacquiao vs Mayweather ?

The 2015 welterweight showdown between these two was billed as the “Fight of the Century.”
Mayweather won a unanimous verdict in the 12 rounds (118–110, 116–112, 116–112). It was a much closer affair than those scores show, and a rematch between the two would certainly attract a large number of casual fans

Pacquiao’s position as IBA vice president raised the possibility that the new fight between the two could be for the IBA title. The IBA is one of the oldest international boxing organizations, with roots developing amateur boxing going back into the early 20th century.

With Olympic boxing selection currently being conducted by a rival organization, the IBA has expanded its focus to other areas, including bare-knuckle boxing. They have also sanctioned a limited number of IBA world titles. The main appeal of such belts is that they are organized by the IBA with all the standards of a professional fight, but don’t affect a fighter’s professional record.

Bottom line: Mayweather’s claim to fame, his undefeated 50-0 record, would be safe if he were to step into the ring in the spring of 2026 against his Filipino rival for an IBA title.

Pacquiao brings star power to the TBL. The Hall of Fame fighter is increasingly expanding his role in the sport and will be a big asset for the league.

“I believe in the vision of TBL and what this league is building for the future of boxing,” said Manny Pacquiao. “Team boxing brings a new level of excitement, strategy, and opportunity for fighters and fans. I’m proud to be part of TBL and look forward to contributing both inside and outside the ring.”

Floyd Mayweather claims he has been robbed and cheated: “I am missing hundreds of millions of dollars”

Floyd Mayweather, undefeated boxing legend, claims that despite earning over a billion dollars in his career, hundreds of millions never reached him, and now he’s taking legal action against Showtime.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. | Biography & Facts | Britannica

The 50-0 fighter filed a lawsuit in California, alleging Showtime aided his former manager, Al Haymon, in diverting a “significant portion of his career earnings,” leaving Mayweather missing an estimated $340 million.

In the suit obtained by TMZ Sports, Floyd states he seeks to “recover hundreds of millions of dollars in the misappropriated funds and damages resulting from a long-running and elaborate scheme of financial fraud,” naming Showtime and former Showtime Sports president Stephen Espinoza as defendants.

“Floyd is one of boxing’s biggest pay-per-view draws,” Mayweather‘s attorney, Bobby Samini, said. “He generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for Showtime.

“Mr. Mayweather now takes this fight to the courtroom to recover what he rightfully earned. Retiring undefeated at 50-0, Mr. Mayweather will go the distance in the courtroom just as he has in the ring.”

Interestingly, Haymon, Mayweather‘s longtime advisor of more than a decade, is not being sued directly, though Floyd alleges the ex-manager received “substantial participation and aid” from the network and Espinoza in siphoning funds.

According to the filing, major fights-including his bouts with Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor-were impacted, with Mayweather claiming Showtime sent accounts controlled by Haymon, effectively delivering his earnings to the manager rather than to him.

Years later, after switching to a new management team, Mayweather requested access to Showtime’s financial records, only to be told they were “lost in a flood” or otherwise inaccessible, prompting further allegations of concealment and misconduct.

Floyd Mayweather Net Worth – How the Boxer Built His Fortune

Mayweather‘s wealth stems from decades at the top of boxing, where he became one of the sport’s biggest pay-per-view draws, generating substantial revenue for networks, promoters, and sponsors.

He capitalized on high-profile fights, including Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor, commanding historic purses and endorsement deals that made him a major financial figure in sports.

His fight earnings reportedly exceeded $1.1 billion, though his net worth is estimated between $400 million and $500 million, factoring in taxes, spending, and investments.

A core source of wealth is Mayweather Promotions, which earned millions by organizing and monetizing major bouts. His apparel brand, The Money Team (TMT), generates additional income, while exhibition fights continue to bring in substantial payouts.

Mayweather has also invested in luxury real estate in Las Vegas, Miami, and New York City through Vada Properties, including residential and commercial holdings worth hundreds of millions, producing ongoing income.

Beyond property and promotions, he has business interests in cryptocurrency, NFTs, and fitness ventures, adding further revenue streams.

His lavish lifestyle reflects his “Money” brand, with private jets, exotic cars, jewelry, and multiple mansions, leaving him with a net worth estimated at $400-$500 million, illustrating a combination of athletic success and shrewd business strategy.

Serena Williams faces a new motherhood challenge…

Serena Williams faces a new motherhood challenge in the midst of the cold

For years, Serena Williams grew used to waking up very early to train and dominate the tennis world. Today, her routine still demands effort, but the stage is different, and the challenges are no longer measured in sets or trophies.

Serena Williams - Husband, Daughter & US Open

Far from the courts, Serena now faces much more everyday challenges. This time, it was not a final or an intense training session, but something as simple and demanding as Florida’s cold weather and a school morning that could not wait.

Discipline never retires

Through her Instagram Stories, Serena shared a brief yet revealing moment. The low temperatures showed no mercy, but neither did they become an excuse. With humor and determination, she made it clear that it was time to get up and get things done: taking her daughters to school, even when the weather was far from ideal. “These girls are going to be late,” she said, proving that even the simplest tasks require commitment.

The scene instantly resonated. There was no glamour and no competition, just a mother adapting to a routine that also demands consistency, energy, and patience. A different version of the champion, but just as strong.

This is not the first time Serena has shown this side of herself. On other occasions, she has shared moments with her daughters, from notes they write to her to improvised tennis games that blend fun with legacy. The sport is still present, but now as a family bond rather than a professional obligation.

Serena Williams retired from professional tennis in September 2022, when she played her final official match at the US Open against Ajla Tomljanovic. That day closed one of the greatest careers in sports, but it also opened another chapter just as intense, though far more intimate.

Today, her challenges come without a crowd or a scoreboard, yet they carry the same essence that made her unique. The discipline that took her to the top of tennis is still alive in every cold morning, every school drop-off, and every moment shared with her daughters. Serena may no longer compete on the court, but she continues to give lessons, now from home.

Canelo Linked With Unlikely Opponent: “I Believe That Fight Will Happen”

Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez is edging closer to finalising his highly-anticipated return to the ring.

Canelo Alvarez offered comeback fight against dangerous rising star: "We'll sign tomorrow" | Boxing News

The 35-year-old from Guadalajara has been out of action since he was defeated by the recently retired Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas back in September. Whilst it had been suggested that Canelo was on the verge of announcing his own retirement, the four-weight world champion has now confirmed that he will be making a return to the sport this year.

Canelo is currently recovering from elbow surgery for an injury that he sustained during his monumental clash with Crawford, although he is expected to be ready to return to action by this September. One man that appears to be on Canelo’s radar is Britain’s Chris Eubank Jr, who recently suffered the fourth defeat of his career to fierce rival Conor Benn.

Speaking to Boxing Scene, Eubank’s promoter Ben Shalom revealed that he expects a showdown between Canelo and Eubank to happen, despite the Brit suffering that loss to Benn back in November.

“He would have. Listen, it’s funny how boxing works, but had he beaten Conor Benn that fight was nailed on. So it’s a big thing to have lost, but I still believe that fight will happen. I really do. I think it’s a [good fight].”

Shalom was then asked if he believes Eubank could face Canelo next.

“You never know, you never know. It might work. We’re focused on the next fight. It might work out but yeah we’ll see, we’ll see.”

Eubank was comprehensively beaten by Benn in their much-anticipated rematch at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on November 15, seven months on from their first encounter which saw Eubank defeat Benn in what has been regarded as one of the best fights of 2025.

From Mike Tyson purse to motorsports dream: Jake Paul builds racetrack ranch in Georgia

Jake Paul has opened the gates to what may be the most ambitious post-fight purchase in recent boxing history: a $40 million ranch in Georgia that he’s transforming into a private motorsport and lifestyle compound. The property-spanning roughly 6,000 acres-was funded in large part by Paul’s purse from his high-profile bout with Mike Tyson in late 2024, followed by additional earnings from subsequent fights.

Boxing: Jake Paul to fight former world champion Mike Tyson on Netflix | Ents & Arts News | Sky News

While recovering from a double jaw fracture sustained in a later bout, Paul posted a detailed video tour of the land, explaining how the project-nicknamed “Paul Reserve”-is only getting started.

We will be putting an airstrip to land the Global Express Paul Air. This will be a full-on landing strip where we can land the plane… and we will be weaving in a full-on F1 track throughout this area where it’s completely flat.

From boxing purse to racetrack vision for Paul

Paul’s idea flips the usual supercar-owner formula. Instead of collecting rare vehicles first and finding places to drive them later, he’s building the infrastructure first. “I have these nice cars, everyone has nice cars but then they’re just driving them on the highway. I wanted to do things in reverse. Build the racetrack so I can actually drive the cars.”

His plan goes beyond personal use. Paul envisions a membership-based race club where enthusiasts can own homes along the track, store cars on-site, and even fly in via the private runway. “I’m going to turn this into a membership club where people can have houses on the track… use the track whenever they want, land the plane on the airstrip and create this sort of race club.”

The flat Georgia terrain was key to the decision. According to Paul, many scenic ranch locations lacked the consistent, level ground required for both a jet-capable runway and a proper circuit layout.

What Paul’s ranch already includes

The property is far from empty. A three-mile driveway leads to four houses and a large workshop. There’s also a fully equipped boxing gym with a ring where Paul trains while on-site, multiple equipment storage buildings, and even a private fuel station for vehicles used across the ranch.

Water access was another must-have.

I needed to be on a lake where you can wake surf, jet ski, go crazy.

Jake Paul

He also emphasized climate as a deciding factor.

“I didn’t want it to ever get cold… I wanted to be able to come to this property all year round and have good weather.” Despite the scale of what’s been built, Paul admits he hasn’t explored much of it yet, estimating he’s seen less than a fifth of the land due to its vast open fields.

For now, construction continues while Paul recovers. But if the plans materialize, the Georgia ranch won’t just be a retreat-it will be a destination blending aviation, motorsports, boxing, and luxury living into a single private playground.

Terence Crawford and Shakur Stevenson spar, gearing up for next fights | Bad Left Hook

Terence Crawford does not care what people have to say about his viral post-fight celebration after watching Shakur Stevenson shut out Teofimo Lopez.

After watching his close friend put on the performance of his career in the Ring VI main event, Crawford had no issue getting into the ring to dance and rub the victory in Lopez’s face. Seeing the backlash his actions received, Crawford revealed he still feels no remorse and still has animosity toward Lopez’s team.

“They mad!!” Crawford tweeted. “It’s coo when they do it, it’s a problem when I do it, F*** EM!!!! F*** Teo, F*** his daddy, f*** his sister and anyone else that has a problem.”

Crawford engaged in some trash talk with Lopez’s team before the fight, but he mostly contained himself during fight week. That all changed after Stevenson’s dominant victory, which convinced the former pound-for-pound No. 1 boxer to get his licks back in the aftermath.

Terence Crawford names the only fighter in history who could have beaten him

Nobody was able to solve the puzzle on how to beat Terence Crawford.

Terence 'Bud' Crawford: Biography, record, fights and more - ESPN

The American hung up the gloves in December with a perfect 42-0 record, after a stellar career which saw him defeat all comers. Those include the likes of Errol Spence, Shawn Porter, Israil Madrimov and Viktor Postol, as ‘Bud’ went on his way to becoming undisputed at 140lbs and 147lbs, along with further world title reigns at lightweight and super-welterweight.

No doubt the best win of his career came in his final fight though, as Crawford successfully stepped up two weight divisions to dethrone super-middleweight king Canelo Alvarez, becoming the first male fighter in history to be undisputed in three separate divisions in the process. While ‘Bud’ never looked in danger of losing a fight, he has named one man who he thinks would have had what it takes to hand him his first loss.

Posting on social media, Crawford reveals that he thinks he would have found things tough were he to have ever fought Floyd Mayweather.

“I be paying homage to the ones before me but Mayweather the only one I would have had problems with because his mind.”

Just like Crawford, Mayweather retired unbeaten, ending his professional career in 2017 with a perfect 50-0 record.

Recall that Kayode was charged to Sagamu Magistrate Court, on the 2nd of January  with Magistrate Olufunilayo Somefun presiding. He was charged on a four count charge  which includes dangerous driving Causing Death, contrary to Section 5(1) of the Federal Highway Act, Cap F: 135, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 (as applicable in Ogun State).

“Reckless and Negligent Driving, contrary to Section 6(1) of the same Act. Driving Without Due Care and Attention, causing bodily harm and damage to property, contrary to Section 7(1) of the Act and driving without a valid national driver’s license, contrary to Section 10(1) of the Federal Highway Act. The case was adjourned after the prosecuting counsel, Richard Nigiwe, informed the court that they had four witnesses, but only three were in attendance.

Richard called for the adjournment of the case to allow the prosecution counsel to duplicate the case tile to the office of the Attorney General of the state through the office of the department of public prosecution for advise and in the interest of justice.

The request was initially rejected by the counsel to the defendant, Abiodun Olalekan, who expressed the readiness to forge ahead with the case. However, giving her ruling on the request for adjournment, the court granted the application and adjourned the case to the 25th of February for further hearing.
