Usyk handed Fury the first defeat of his professional career in May via a split decision and then widened the margins in their rematch last month, with all three judges scoring the bout in his favour.

The Ukrainian slickster often gets straight back into training after his fights but his manager Egis Klimas claims his fighter won’t be in the gym again until at least April.

Former heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson seems to be enjoying some rest and relaxation after his boxing match with Jake Paul.

The 58-year-old went head-to-head with the YouTuber-turned-boxer in November, marking Tyson’s first professional bout since his loss to Kevin McBride in 2005. However, he did participate in an exhibition match against legendary boxer Roy Jones Jr in 2020 before his face-off with ‘The Problem Child’.

With these medals, the Columbus native reached eight Olympic medals, becoming the American gymnast with the most medals in summer games in history.

How Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy Prepped for New TGL Golf Challenge

Tiger Woods Rory McIlroy

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.—TGL VP of competition technology and operations Scott Armstrong was thisclose to giving Tiger Woods advice on his golf game.

Woods recently visited the new golf arena ahead of the league’s Jan. 7 debut, eager to test every inch of the futuristic, football field-sized playing surface. Players will tee off from trucked-in palettes of natural grass cut into custom mats, swinging towards a 65-foot simulator screen, with advanced cameras tracking the ball in flight before representing it virtually on the screen.

Thirty new holes have been created specifically to challenge golf’s best, each culminating in a real-world green area that swivels and oscillates to set up distinct surfaces. Teams of three golfers will play 15-hole matches in a mix of triples and singles formats.

Woods spent extra time in the short game area around that synthetic green, figuring out how the artificial grains played differently than the ones he’d won 82 official PGA Tour events and 15 major championships on top of. After watching Woods flub a couple chips, as Armstrong had seen previous visitors do, he opened his mouth only to see Tiger change the shape of his swing, sending a flop shot arcing into the air and landing inches from his target.

In 1990, the Masters was renamed the ATP Tour World Championships and moved to Europe. Frankfurt and Hannover took turns hosting the event until 1999. In 2000, the event went through another rebranding effort, emerging as the Tennis Masters Cup and was held in Lisbon, Sydney, Houston and Shanghai.

The O2 Arena in London took over as the host in 2009, with the event marking its 50th anniversary in 2020. Turin took over as host city in 2021. Stan Smith won the inaugural edition in 1970.

Novak Djokovic

Djokovic, who is due to team up with former British No 1 and old rival Andy Murray as his new coach later this month, was bested in an opening set tie-breaker and then broken in the fourth game of the second – shortly after spurning an opportunity of his own on the Opelka serve

It’s far from ideal preparation for the first Grand Slam of the 2025 season for the record 24-time champion Djokovic, the 37-year-old appearing here in his first tournament since mid-October.

For Opelka, this is unquestionably the biggest win of his career to date. The 27-year-old American has won four ATP 250 tournaments and had a career-high ranking of world No 17 in 2022 before injury troubles have limited him to playing only one match over the past two years.

“He is the greatest tennis player the sport has ever seen,” Opelka said of Djokovic, following his statement win. “It’s difficult being in Novak’s position… he can scout me or his opponents all day long, but the reality is that we have nothing to lose coming in against him.

While the American looked sharp in training, he was unable to roll back the years on fight night as his age was on full display in Texas. Despite failing to get the knockout, Paul would go on to cruise to a unanimous decision victory and extended his professional boxing record to 11-1
