You know, everybody wants the first say…
(Matchroom) HOUSTON, Texas – O’Shaquie Foster outclassed his rival Raymond Ford to win their grudge match and deservedly retain his WBC junior-featherweight title. After an occasionally ill-tempered build-up he produced a disciplined performance to largely neutralise Ford and win via a puzzling majority decision and scores of 114-114, 118-110 and 116-112. The score of 118-110, ultimately, represented the most accurate of the three. Ford was made to look one-dimensional and Foster continued to perform like he remains in his prime. He may increasingly be considered the world’s finest junior featherweight but his exchange with Ford’s friend Shakur Stevenson after the…

Shankland pushed on, took up more dangerous positions and, surprise, surprise, scored and then scored again. Two…

Shedeur Sanders was a lightning rod during his NFL rookie season with the Cleveland Browns, leading to an unprecedented windfall through jersey sales, trading cards and other licensing agreements thanks to a diehard personal fanbase. Sanders banked a record-breaking $17.7 million last season in group licensing income, according to the NFL Players Association annual report. The number shattered Tom Brady’s previous single-season high of $9.5 million during his time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per Front Office Sports.This licensing payout is 170% more than his father, Deion Sanders, will make during the 2026 season as Colorado’s coach, and pales in comparison to Sanders’ four-year…

Saturday night at the sold-out El Paso Civic Center in Texas, Serrano 49-4-1 (32 KOs) made Hanson pay, stopping Hanson by TKO 2 minutes, 25 seconds into the second round. A Serrano cornerman got tattooed with a…
