“It really busts my head to see AB like this. Just when you think it’s hope for the ni**a, he start tripping again,” Hitchins posted on X. The reaction means more coming from Hitchins than an outsider. Broner once served as an older-brother figure to the former IBF light welterweight champion. Hitchins saw the success Broner enjoyed at his peak and also what followed when his lifestyle became increasingly destructive. The timing makes the scene worse. Broner was recently hospitalized with pancreatitis after years in which alcohol has been an issue. At 37, continuing that lifestyle carries greater consequences. Adrien…

There are very few Premier League attackers in the present day who have been able to match the levels produced by Sadio Mané during his six years at Liverpool. The Senegalese forward arrived as an unknown quantity to many supporters in 2016, but he had cemented his place in the club’s history by his departure in 2022. He netted 120 goals in his 269 appearances on Merseyside, subsequently sitting 14th in the club’s all-time goalscoring charts after forming a deadly trio with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino. New boss Andoni Iraola will undoubtedly wish he could call upon a player…

“Listen, this saga, we will see how this whole thing plays out,” White said. “I mean, they either want to fight or they do not. I do not know.” White also clarified a key part of the deal. While he previously discussed helping organize the event, he made clear that he did not negotiate Joshua’s personal contract. “We did the television deal and the venue deal,” White stated. That detail matters because Eddie Hearn maintains Joshua agreed to face Fury in the United Kingdom, while New York remains on the table for organizers. A bigger question centers on how much…

“Listen, this saga, we’ll see how this whole thing plays out,” White said. “I mean, they either want to fight or they don’t. I don’t know.” That isn’t the language of someone convinced everything is settled. The UFC CEO previously discussed helping put the fight together, but he clarified Saturday that his involvement didn’t include Joshua’s individual contract. When questioned about Joshua’s agreement for the UK, White replied, “Well, I didn’t do his contract.” So what did his side negotiate? “We did the television deal and the venue deal,” White said. His answer helps explain why White and Eddie Hearn…
