“I’ll take Floyd too. Tell ’em suit up,” Davis wrote on X. The post came alongside a photo of the two facing off during happier times in their business relationship before Davis split from Mayweather Promotions. Tank’s latest message adds another name to an increasingly long list of fighters he has publicly challenged. Haney remains the most active discussion after Bill Haney revealed that his team rejected the reported 70-30 offer, saying they had previously turned down “50/50 of nothing” with PBC and would not accept “70/30 of nothing.” Shakur Stevenson has also remained part of the conversation, with the…
Dr. Barney Wainwright, senior research fellow at Leeds Beckett University, told BBC Sport earlier this week how altitude can affect athletes. “Maximum aerobic capacity at this kind of altitude usually drops around 10%,” Wainwright said. “And that has a knock-on to performance.”But would kicking off at 12:00 local time rather than 18:00 have made any difference?”If it is warmer, the heat can have a double whammy effect with altitude,” Wainwright explained.”When there’s less oxygen in the air, that means there’s less in the blood. That affects your ability to produce energy for the muscles and your exercise capacity.”It also takes…
(BoxingScene) BoxingScene Today for July 3, 2026 – Despite it being the 250th birthday of the United States of America tomorrow, Chris Algieri and Coach Robert Garcia are in-studio because, as they put it, “boxing never sleeps.” Algieri and Garcia begin by talking about Oscar De La Hoya’s hot take on a potential Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn fight, that “fans don’t want the fight.” Both men disagree with De La Hoya and wonder if he’s working a promotional angle by saying it. The topic then turns to Oleksandr Usyk relinquishing his championship belts in a move that…
Former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo, who signed Jota on loan and then permanently for the club, told BBC Sport:He was a young lad [when he arrived at Wolves], but a very special one – warm, humble and determined to repay the faith and effort that had been invested in him.Like every player, he found it difficult at first. The Championship is an extremely tough competition, especially for someone arriving from abroad. But it was precisely that challenge that helped shape Diogo into the player he went on to become.He never gave up, and when things didn’t go his way,…

Floyd Mayweather built his career on proving doubters wrong. His latest claim, however, may be one of the few that doesn’t hold up. Many of today’s younger fans never watched him compete in a meaningful championship fight. They know him more through social media clips, luxury lifestyle posts and exhibitions than through victories over Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Shane Mosley or Manny Pacquiao. The fighters driving the sport today are active champions such as Oleksandr Usyk, Jaron “Boots” Ennis, Naoya Inoue, David Benavidez and others who are building the next era. Mayweather’s exhibitions also haven’t become must-watch events.…

Declan Rice is likely to be available to start England’s World Cup last-16 tie against Mexico on Sunday despite an ongoing injury issue.The Arsenal midfielder has been playing with a neural problem that affects his hamstring and lower back and was substituted in injury time of the 2-1 win over DR Congo in the last 32.Speaking after that game, manager Thomas Tuchel said: “I asked him. He said: ‘I can do it for the team but I am in terrible pain.’ When Declan tells you he is in terrible pain then you know he cannot take it any more.”Though Rice…
Teofimo Lopez backs one of the Four Kings to defeat Terence Crawford in a prime-for-prime welterweight battle. ‘Bud’ called time on his Hall of Fame-worthy career in December, just a few months removed from his unanimous decision victory over Canelo Alvarez. Despite being made a pre-fight underdog, Crawford was able to dethrone the more natural super-middleweight to become a three-division undisputed champion. His best performances arguably came at 147lbs, though, as the American scored seven straight stoppages before orchestrating a ninth-round finish over Errol Spence Jr in July 2023. This victory alone has inspired many to compare Crawford with other…
