(VIDEO) How Terence Crawford Can Replicate What Dmitry Bivol Did Against Canelo Alvarez

By
Dmitry Bivol Canelo Alvarez

Eddie Hearn has claimed that Terence Crawford might use Dmitry Bivol’s strategy against Canelo Alvarez.

By all accounts Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford should be a fight of the year contender, as it features two of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the sport who both boast exceptional records.

Crawford is 41-0-0 with 31 knockout wins under his belt. As for Alvarez, he is 63-2-2. Floyd Mayweather and Dmitry Bivol are the only two men to defeat him, with Bivol edging him out in May 2022 at light heavyweight.

Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn, though, thinks Terence Crawford can replicate the type of challenge that Dmitry Bivol did against Alvarez. Speaking to Chris Mannix, Hearn said:

I don’t think it’s not dissimilar to the Dmitry Bivol fight in the sense of how Crawford could box in that fight [against Canelo]. He’s got the ability to keep him off, show angles, and then a spurt of aggressiveness to do enough to reset I think he can back him up. I don’t think he can stop him, well, Bivol didn’t have to stop him.

Eddie Hearn further added that Alvarez’s performance against William Scull has got him doubting the Mexican. He said:

I was really leaning towards Canelo Alvarez before Saturday (against Scull). Look, you can’t take too much from it, but, the thing is about Terence, he has unbelievable self-belief.

Terence Crawford has the skills to fight any style and get the job done. However, Canelo Alvarez was the smaller man going into the Dmitry Bivol fight as he moved up in weight. Crawford will need to move up not one, but two weight classes to fight Canelo.

How he responds to Alvarez’s power could be a key decider in the contest.

By
Serena Williams

Tennis icon Serena Williams just proved she’s got style both on and off the court with her latest glam video, with the mother of two sharing a stunning transformation.

In a video shared on Instagram on May 13, Williams started in casual loungewear, with her bare-faced beauty on full display. The clip then cut to later as Williams looked radiant in a full glam look, with bright makeup and curled hair. She wore a slinky silver two-piece that showed off her abs, and it looked like she refreshed her blonde hair color.

Fans were wowed by Williams’ beauty in the new clip, with one writing in the comments, “ma’am ❤️❤️❤️ you’re STUNNING.”

In December 2024, Williams shared what she called “The ‘Jean Skirt’ finale ✨,” which was the end of her efforts to lose weight and fit into a jean skirt she wore before her pregnancy. She successfully reached her goal, with fans cheering her on and noting how “proud” they were of her.

Rory McIlroy confused after Bryson DeChambeau called out his behavior

By
Rory McIlroy

Rory McIlroy quipped “I don’t know what he was expecting” after Bryson DeChambeau made a fuss about receiving the cold shoulder during the Masters.

The pair, both golf titans, were matched up for Augusta’s final round—a historic moment for McIlroy as he achieved a career grand slam amidst stirring emotion. It comes as McIlroy confirmed he will return to a tournament this year for the first time since 2024.

Post his performance, which saw his pursuit of the iconic green jacket dissipate, U.S. Open champion DeChambeau relayed that McIlroy: “Didn’t talk to me once all day. He wouldn’t talk to me.”

McIlroy, who has an edge at Quail Hollow—especially over Scottie Scheffler—and has showcased his potent swing recently, addressed these remarks before the PGA Championship.

He chuckled at the idea he should have acted differently and underscored that the Masters silence was strictly business, nothing personal.

His words were straightforward: “I don’t know what he was expecting. We’re trying to win the Masters. I’m not going to try to be his best mate out there.”

“Look, everyone approaches the game different ways. Yeah, like I was focused on myself and what I needed to do. That’s really all that it was. It wasn’t anything against him or against — it’s just I felt that’s what I needed to do to try to get the best out of myself that day.”

Entering the PGA Championship with two wins already under his belt, McIlroy heads to Quail Hollow amidst buzz from his peers, well aware of his prowess on the Charlotte, North Carolina links.

He stated: “Yeah, always nice to come back to Quail Hollow, for obvious reasons. I have obviously great memories from this place.

“First win on the PGA TOUR 15 years ago. Winning last year, I probably played my best golf of the year last year here, especially at the weekend.

“Look, it’s been an amazing 2025. There’s been a lot of great golf played, but there’s still a lot of golf left to play this year. I’m excited for the journey ahead. Looking forward to this week.

“Hopefully the weather clears up a little bit and the course can dry out a bit. Excited to tee it up in another PGA Championship and give myself another opportunity.”

“I’m Not a Liar”: Floyd Mayweather Sends a Clear Message on Bankruptcy Rumors After $100M Lawsuit

By
Floyd Mayweather

Floyd Mayweather once bought himself out of a contract with Top Rank by paying $750,000 to the promotion.

He went on to appear in some of the biggest fights the sport has ever seen, and those fights made him a boatload of money, $1.15 billion to be exact. Today, he is the richest boxer in the history of the sport. However, even Floyd Mayweather, the richest boxer whose nickname is literally ‘Money,’ hasn’t escaped allegations of bankruptcy.

A while ago, Mayweather started making waves across the internet for his real estate investments in New York, especially his claim that he had bought 62 residential apartment buildings in Manhattan for $402 million. The subject went out of bounds when a Business Insider exclusive reported that there was no evidence that Floyd Mayweather had actually made the purchase. The media outlet claimed New York City property records showed no ownership transfer for any of the buildings. BI also noted that the NYC Housing Partnership was not notified of any pending sale or ownership change.

JUST IN: “I Know I’m Better Than Him”: Canelo Targets One Man After He Faces Terence Crawford

It was followed by ‘Fighters Corner News’ sharing a video titled ‘Stephen A. Smith Exposes Floyd Mayweather For Going Bankrupt After $402 Million Scam.’ This video, also shared by Mayweather’s long-time rival 50 Cent, immediately went viral everywhere, casting doubts about his financial standing among fans.

In response to this report from Business Insider, Mayweather filed a defamation lawsuit against the media outlet and one of its reporters, Daniel Geiger, earlier this month, seeking at least $100 million in damages. The lawsuit was filed in the Southern District of New York and claims Geiger “embarked on a campaign of harassment and defamation, characterized by aggressive and misleading journalism that not only distorts the truth but seems driven by a deep-seated bias against Mr. Mayweather’s success.”

Since then, Business Insider’s spokesperson told Front Office Sports, “We will vigorously defend against this meritless attempt to discredit our reporting and smear our reporter.” Regardless, Floyd Mayweather has once again vehemently denied the bankruptcy allegations against him!

Floyd Mayweather says he has been unfairly judged by the media

According to a report from Realtor[dot]com, Mayweather appeared at The Real Deal’s New York City Forum on May 7, where he addressed the rumors about his bankruptcy. “Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but if that’s what you call having two private jets, owning 100 buildings, and being able to do what you want, then I’m pretty sure everybody is going bankrupt,” Mayweather said.

He even spoke about his lawsuit, claiming he worked hard to be where he is today. “I’m not a liar,” he said. “I work hard to build my name and build my reputation.” He also claimed that he had never filed a lawsuit against a media house in his life. “But the media has bashed me and my family throughout my life, and I have always been judged by them.”

That said, it’s clear Floyd Mayweather is not backing down from his claims about owning apartment buildings in New York. It would be interesting to see how the lawsuit turns out, as defamation suits are known to be tricky.

“I Know I’m Better Than Him”: Canelo Targets One Man After He Faces Terence Crawford

canelo álvarez

Canelo Alvarez is just months away from a mega-fight with Terence Crawford.

The 34-year-old from Guadalajara, Mexico reclaimed the undisputed super-middleweight championship with a victory over former IBF champion William Scull in Riyadh at the beginning of the month to set up a huge showdown with ‘Bud’ Crawford later this year.

The modern pound-for-pound greats are set to face each other on Friday September 12 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, as confirmed by Riyadh Season’s Turki Alalshikh just moments after Canelo was declared as the winner against Scull on May 2.

As he gears up for what could be one of the toughest tests of his career, Canelo has already set his sights on facing one man after his highly anticipated showdown with ‘Bud’.

Speaking to The Ring Magazine, Canelo expressed an interest in facing unified light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol in a rematch, as he looks to avenge the defeat he suffered to the Russian star back in 2022.

“I hope I have the opportunity to have the rematch with Bivol, that’s the only fight at 175 I would really take but we’ll see. I want to tell myself ‘Hey, you learned something from that fight’, what things you don’t need to do again. I have that thing in myself which says ‘Hey, you need to show that you’re a better fighter than him’.”

Bivol became just the second fighter to defeat Canelo when they clashed several years ago, making a successful defence of his WBA light-heavyweight title in the process. The 34-year-old Russian recently captured the undisputed light-heavyweight championship from rival Artur Beterbiev, with a trilogy showdown between the pair set to take place later this year.

Tiger Woods’s Girlfriend Vanessa Trump Overwhelmed as Her ‘1st Child’ Reaches Major Milestone

Before the world knew Vanessa Trump as Tiger Woods’s girlfriend, they knew of her as a loving mother of five kids she had with Donald Trump Jr. Yeah, now she’s getting much more attention in the golf world, but that has not stopped her from being a devoted mother to all her kids. But her first one, the golf prodigy Kai, recently achieved a major milestone that truly deserved a shoutout from her loving mom.

So, Kai turned 18, and Vanessa could not help but gush over it. ‘Happy 18th birthday to my 1st child, @kaitrumpgolfer! I’m so proud of the young lady that you have become! You are an inspiration to all! Love you from the bottom of my heart, Mom,’ she wrote on Instagram. Along with that, she posted a carousel of photographs of her and Kai dressed in beautiful black dresses, followed by Kai’s baby pictures (which were adorable, by the way) and then a picture of both of them at TGL, posing with the cup.

Kai’s father also shared a heartfelt message for his daughter. Sharing beautiful pictures of her from various milestones of her life, he wrote, “To my little Kai, aka @kaitrumpgolfer, I can’t believe that you’re 18. I love you so much, and I’m so incredibly proud of the young woman you’ve become. I look forward to the next 18 years as much as I enjoyed the last. I love you so much. Happy birthday, sweetie.”  Oh, and Kai cut a beautiful two-tier pink cake with silver details.

Kai also shared a birthday post on her Instagram, showing gratitude for the year she has had, along with the photographs recapping her 17th year. ‘17, you taught me a lot about life. 18. I hope you teach me a lot more. 🫶,’ she wrote on Instagram.

As a freshman at The Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Kai has been playing golf for thirteen years and is currently serving as the team captain; that’s an accomplishment in itself. She won the ladies’ club championship at Trump International Palm Beach not just in 2024, but also back in 2022. Her decision to go to Miami is a huge step, showing her focus on improving her game and competing at a higher level.

Not only do Vanessa and Donald Trump Jr. have a heart full of love for their daughter, but Kai’s affection for them is equally evident. On Mother’s Day, Kai shared heartfelt stories on Instagram celebrating Vanessa, showcasing the deep bond they share. When she announced her decision to attend the University of Miami, she thanked both her parents for being there and for always supporting her through her journey. So, yeah, both mother and daughter never miss a chance to give each other a shoutout.

The heartfelt connection between Vanessa and Kai

Whether it’s a birthday or a simple memory, Vanessa’s maternal instinct naturally draws her closer to her children, making her a constant pillar of support in their lives. In the sophisticated world of golf, she definitely deserves the ‘Best Mother’ award.

When Kai posted a carousel of her visit to the White House, one picture showed her sitting in the president’s chair, surrounded by her siblings. This particular picture touched Vanessa’s heart, and she left a sweet comment: “My kiddies ❤️️.” Nothing big, right? but enough to show how much she cherishes her children. Kai responded right away with, “Love you ❤️,” showing the unbreakable bond they share.

Vanessa also shared a throwback memory of her and Kai from the beach, showing just how much she loves her. So, they’re the kind of mother-daughter duo that reminds everyone how relationships, though fragile, can grow beautifully with love, care, and constant support.

Deontay Wilder Reveals His Favourite KO….

By
Deontay Wilder

Deontay Wilder is known as one of hardest hitting heavyweights of all time.

The 39-year-old from Tuscaloosa, Alabama has scored a stoppage in 42 of the 43 fights he has won during his career, which is an incredible 97% win-to-knockout ratio for the former long-reigning WBC heavyweight champion.

Wilder is preparing to make his return to ring after suffering back-to-back losses against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang, as boxing fans are left wondering whether ‘The Bronze Bomber’ can actually bounce back and prove himself to be a major player in the heavyweight division once again.

Speaking to Bloody Elbow as he looks to find the ferocity once more, Wilder didn’t hesitate to reveal the one knockout victory that he favours over the rest, highlighting his devastating 2019 stoppage win over Dominic Breazeale is his overall favourite.

“My favourite one I think it always goes back to the Dominic Breazeale knockout, because of the intensity of and the storyline that led up with it, you know all of that stuff, I was really being lied on about a lot of things and you know people try to take my character inside of boxing and press conferences try to judge me off of who I am truly. You know you gotta get to know a person.”

‘The Bronze Bomber’ blasted Breazeale out in the opening round of their bout which took place at the Barclays Center in New York six years ago. It was Wilder’s first fight after that memorable draw with former rival Tyson Fury, who would go on to defeat the 39-year-old in their second and third encounters.

Wilder returns to the ring against Tyrrell Herndon in a non-title heavyweight bout at the Charles Koch Arena in Wichita on June 27, in what will be his first outing since that brutal loss to ‘Big Bang’ Zhang last June.

NFL quarterback forced to apologize to Rory McIlroy ‘five times’ for bizarre New Orleans incident

By
Rory McIlroy

A strange encounter in New Orleans between Rory McIlroy and Derek Anderson left the former NFL quarterback groveling to the new Masters champion, it has been revealed.

The story emerged from Anderson himself after he opened up on his experience caddying for Kevin Chappell at the recent Zurich Classic in New Orleans.

Chappell was a late replacement for Billy Horschel, meaning that Anderson suddenly found himself on the bag for Chappell alongside McIlroy in his first tournament since his historic Masters victory.

READ: Charlie Wood: Tiger Woods son’s dreams of playing in U.S. Open dashed for second year in a row

Anderson played the first two rounds alongside McIlroy and his playing partner Shane Lowry, who were also the defending champions of the Louisiana tournament.

‘I felt 5-foot-1-inches tall,’ Anderson said, reflecting on his error in an appearance on the Subpar podcast.

 ‘I’ll set the scene a little bit. Kevin hit that shot on 17 on Friday. Shane missed the hosel by an inch. He’s short right. And I kind of like walked back and I’m kind of not really sure where to go, because the flag was over there and Shane’s chipping.

‘And I kind of just want to go put this bag down, get my guy’s putter, let’s get this over with. So I go behind the green and Michael Collins (of ESPN) says something to me, and Rory’s chipping from the front-right of the green, right back at me.

‘Collins says something and I like look down, and I don’t even know what he’s saying, and all of a sudden I hear from 40 yards away, “DA! Stop moving!”‘

It was Chappell, calling out to his caddy.

Anderson continued: ‘I was like “oh s***”. I grabbed the bag and went right behind the camera guy and I just stood there and I froze.

‘I didn’t even know what to do, what am I doing, oh my God, there’s all these people here. Kinda freaking out.

‘Meanwhile, Rory had stepped off the chip. Apparently, when I looked down I bothered him. And then he steps up and proceeds to lay sod over it, and I’m like, Oh no. And then they make bogey.

‘We were walking off, and I tapped McIlroy with the putter like, “I’m so sorry, dude”.

‘Going up 18, I’m just trying to stay as far away from him as I could the rest of the way. I apologized to him like five times.’

In his time on the football field, Anderson was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens but was waived monthslayer before the Cleveland Browns took him.

He also spent time with the Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers and Buffalo Bills, where he was a mentor and backup to none other than Josh Allen in his rookie season.

McIlroy, meanwhile, is gearing up for the second major of the season next week at Quail Hollow in North Carolina.

In perhaps an ominous sign for the rest of the field at the US Open, McIlroy has enjoyed four victories across his career at the course.

‘Bottled it!’: Tyson Fury put Conor McGregor in his place after he called him out

By
Conor McGregor Tyson Fury

Conor McGregor once took a verbal swing at Tyson Fury, accusing him of “bottling it” for not intervening during a fracas involving a fellow fighter’s relative back in 2021.

As Tommy, the half-brother of the Gypsy King, won his first fight in a year and a half on Friday, fans might be intrigued about the past spat between Tyson and UFC icon McGregor. The Crumlin-born star threw the opening salvo in 2022 by criticising Fury for his inaction when Billy Joe Saunders’ father was aggressively handled by security during a previous bout.

The incident in question occurred in May 2021 after Saunders lost to Canelo Alvarez in their middleweight world title fight, leading to an altercation where the British boxer’s dad tried to get past a barrier to reach his son and was forcefully pushed away by a security guard.

Fury, however, chose to stay well back and instead watched the incident unfold from behind the railing – a decision that didn’t sit well with McGregor. In a tweet posted a year later, the 36-year-old said: “Yup the Joyces. Big Joe!

“U bottled it with Billy joe Da, what were you doing there ? ULeft him, Versace t*** U.Done. Nothing. Ya’s did it right ye right hahahahaaj. Even when I’m wrong i’m right. Who did it right ? The Mac daddy tonight, in house. Miami d12! Bahamas.”

Fury quickly hit back at the claims, saying: “Come back when u win a fight mush. And the difference in me and you is i don’t get myself in trouble and people actually like me, your just a bully who hit old man.”

The situation then seemed to intensify as McGregor lashed out with several derogatory comments towards Fury, including: “You are just a little r** licker bro. That’s all. You stood there while your friends father was being attacked and done nothing. That’s the be all end all bro. God luck, God bless.”

However, later on in 2022, Fury disclosed that the entire altercation was nothing more than a promotional ploy designed to generate buzz for both himself and McGregor, reports Dublin Live.

Speaking on the Queensberry Promotions’ YouTube channel, the now-retired boxer said: “Yeah, that was Super Bowl weekend, a good time to get some publicity. Great timing, actually. We were trending all over Instagram, Twitter, Facebook. Pretty good, pretty good work.”

Quizzed about his true feelings towards McGregor, Fury said: “I think he’s alright. He’s a good fighter, isn’t he? Or, well, he has been a good fighter in the past. It is what it is. Can’t complain, can you?

“I think McGregor’s about this big (motions with his hand) and I’m about this big (again motions with his hand), so how could there be any animosity?

“And we’re in totally different sports, so yeah, it’s good. We created the headlines which is what we wanted anyway.”

Since their spat, there’s been no reported interaction between the two, friendly or otherwise, and it seems the feud has been put to bed. Meanwhile, Fury’s half-brother, Tommy, made a successful return to the ring with a points win over Kenan Hanjalic in Budapest on Friday evening.

Signs Of Decline Too Obvious: Why Many Are Now Picking Terence Crawford Over Canelo Alvarez

By
Terence Crawford Canelo Alvarez

People are switching sides from Canelo Alvarez to Terence Crawford in droves, picking Crawford to win their September 12th fight in Las Vegas.

Unified super middleweight champion Canelo looked old, flat-footed, and slow in his win over IBF champion William Scull last Saturday night in Riyadh.

What was really telling was how Canelo, 34, threw only 152 punches in the entire fight. That’s not just because of Scull’s movement. Trainer Robert Garcia is the latest person to go from picking Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KOs) to now leaning toward Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) winning. Robert saw what we all did with Alvarez, showing signs of deterioration from his long 20-year career.

JUST IN: “Channeling His Inner Floyd Mayweather”- Terence Crawford Might Win Over Canelo Alvarez…

Three Poor Outings: He’d already shown signs of slippage in his fights against John Ryder and Jaime Munguiao. But after his clash against the hulking 193-lb Edgar Berlanga last September, Canelo has visibly faded. For those who saw that fight, Canelo took some big shots from Berlanga down the stretch and looked worn out in the 12th. He was lucky that boxing no longer has 15-round fights because Berlanga might have stopped him. “Now, I switch. I always thought Canelo was going to be too big and too strong, but now I’m going to pick Crawford to win this fight,” said trainer Robert Garcia on the YouTube channel of the Boxing Scene. “Crawford is very talented. Great footwork, great combinations, and a very strong fighter.”

Canelo’s performance against William Scull last Saturday has gotten a lot of fans to switch their picks. They’ve jumped off the sinking Alvarez chip and are picking Crawford to win on September 12th. It’s like rats abandoning a ship that is about to take its final plunge. It’s not that they’re fans of the Omaha, Nebraska native’s fighting style. Indeed, many people dislike the way Crawford fights, viewing him as not entertaining to watch, except for his one fight against Errol Spence. Boxing fans just see Canelo as being over the hill now at 34, as he’s looked poor in three consecutive fights. It started with Jaime Munguia, then Edgar Berlanga, and now Scull.

Looking Old: “Facing them off, he’s actually the taller man. I’m leaning toward Crawford now. I switched my opinion. I think Canelo looked too slow, too flat-footed, one punch at a time,” said Robert about Canelo’s fight against IBF super middleweight champion William Scull last Saturday night in Riyadh. Crawford obviously saw the deterioration in Canelo as well, which is one of the reasons he’s so eager to fight him. The money is clearly Terence’s main reason for fighting Canelo, but his looking shot is important as well. If Canelo were the same size as David Benavidez and fighting like him, Crawford wouldn’t be nearly as eager to fight him. He’d still do it for the money, but he’d have a vacant, doomed man look to him if he were facing Benavidez. “I don’t think that’s going to be enough for him to beat Crawford. Crawford is too fast, too strong, and too good,” said Garcia.
