Lead announcer Michael Cole got the brunt of his anger. Vince was so sure of his control over Cole that he got away with calling the latter a “horrible” human being during an interview

The global boxing community has been shocked by the news that freshly crowned fighter Paul Bamba has died aged 35, only days after he became the cruiserweight world champion.

The Sun newspaper reports that there has been no cause of death yet announced for Bamba, who beat Rogelio Medina last weekend to claim the title.

With that victory, he broke a record set by Mike Tyson for most boxing wins in a calendar year via knockout, with 14 such victories.

Bamba, from Puerto Rico, was signed to pop star Ne-yo’s management company and the artist announced the sad news along with Bamba’s family:

“It is with profound sorrow that we announced the passing of beloved son, brother, friend and boxing champion Paul Bamba, whose light and love touched countless lives.

“He was a fierce yet confident competitor with an unrelenting ambition to achieve greatness.

We are all aware of Tyson Fury, a six-foot-nine mountain of charisma wrapped in a pair of gloves. He isn’t just a boxer, he’s the Gypsy King who’s as famous for his thunderous punches as he is for his boisterous charm.

This giant of a man who’s danced in and out of retirement more times than you can count has collected belts like souvenirs. But for all his knockout titles and dramatic comebacks, Fury insists his real crown sits at home. And no, it’s not a championship belt, it’s his family. Because behind this fearless boxer is the queen to his Gypsy King, Paris Fury, his teenage sweetheart.

Dwayne Johnson’s feud with Vin Diesel was one of the high-profile beefs that came out of Hollywood. Given that both actors were in the Fast & Furious franchise, the feud took center stage with the franchise arguably being in its golden age.

Tyson lasted all eight rounds, but at the end of the night, Paul won by unanimous decision. The match was met with mixed reactions, with most people criticizing the outcome. However,...

Many have suggested that Jake Paul is crazy for agreeing to a fight with former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. However, Paul is a YouTuber-turned-professional boxer who has been eager to prove himself in the world of boxing over the last several years.

The boxing match between Paul and Tyson will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on November 15, 2024, and will be streamed globally on Netflix.

The wave of disappointment follows UFC 5 everywhere. The game is being heavily criticized for being a spin-off of its predecessors with nothing new to offer.

UFC 5 has nothing new to offer. The game went through years of development and still did not manage to add fresh things to it. Fans are annoyed at this a lot at the moment. EA Sports failed to deliver a good game even after taking so long to finish it.

It's been a while since I could say that a game legitimately got much worse once it exited beta on PC for its full launch for consoles, but the Undisputed 1.0 launch has been worse than underwhelming for me; it's become downright unplayable. While I've enjoyed the updates to the career mode, the online multiplayer portion of the title something that I used to enjoy, has devolved into something that doesn't resemble the Sweet Science anymore.

Although it appears that the developers of the game, Steel City Interactive, are aware of the serious game-breaking issues, it doesn't look like there's a proper sense of urgency in an industry lacking any real boxing game competition. As it stands, I think I'll stop playing what was supposed to be a Fight Night rival after investing 162 hours into the game, at least until things are fixed.

Saudi Arabia is buzzing as it prepares to host one of the most hyped fights in decades this weekend. Tonight, heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will face off against champion Oleksandr Usyk, with all four heavyweight titles on the line.

Mike Tyson was once the baddest man on the planet as the heavyweight boxing champion.

But at age 57, and better known for his roles in such projects as The Hangover films and the Mike Tyson Mysteries TV series over the last 19 years, Tyson has raised concerns that he’s making a big mistake by returning to boxing.

Tyson is set to fight YouTube sensation Jake Paul on July 20. It’s not an exhibition – the match is commissioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations as a professional fight.

Paul, age 27, is 9-1 in his career with six knockouts against a mix of celebrities and middling fighters, his only loss a split decision to Tommy Fury, brother of current heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

Despite Paul’s lack of top opponents, and Tyson’s 50-6 record with 44 knockouts, there is concern among the older boxer’s peers.

Baldness is an inevitable aspect of aging for many men, or at least a result of their genetic makeup. However, going bald does not imply losing one’s attractive appearance. For example, Dwayne Johnson, 51, is a perfect example of how going ‘bald’ is just another style. Did we forget to mention his strong, muscle-bound physics, which is a sight to behold for anyone?

Well, his avid admirers are likely to picture him as the bald, ripped guy whom we all adore. But the Baywatch star did not always have such massive, superhuman-like muscles. Indeed, he was just one of us, regular folks, with no muscular pecs or curved arms, or, we can say, just “skinny” Rock.

Tyson Fury is menacing. His moves in the ring and absolute wrath for anyone who crosses his path are no secret. He’s the kind of fighter who won’t mind taking his skills up for that unprofessional route and messing you up if you’re to go against him. Even if it’s in a casual match of FIFA.

There was a time when Tyson was quite vocal about how riled-up FIFA could get him. So much so that his own brother had to witness his anger when he tried to cheat in a game. It’s safe to say that cheaters don’t deserve a second chance, and that couldn’t be truer if you were in front of Tyson.

Known for his music and Grammy-winning hits, over the past few years, Drake has also earned the reputation of bringing somewhat bad luck to the sports stars he places his bets on. While it seemed ineffective in the case of the Kansas City Chiefs, whom the rapper bet $1.15 million on, Francis Ngannou does not seem to have the same luck as the football team.

The former UFC heavyweight champion was knocked out cold in just two rounds by his opponent Anthony Joshua in their recent dual, for which the God’s Plan singer bet $615,000 on Ngannou.
