Nate Diaz has called out Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury six months after being defeated by Jake Paul in his boxing debut. The long-time UFC fighter swapped sports last summer but lost by unanimous decision after being knocked down in the fifth round.
Diaz, 38, now wants a ‘real fight’ against anyone, including the top two British heavyweights. The Californian is adamant that he would ‘f*** up’ both despite coming in considerably undersized compared to the pair.
Ryan Garcia believes that Gervonta Davis’ power isn’t as big of a deal as claimed.
‘KingRy’ recently signed a deal to return to the boxing ring against Devin Haney on April 20. For Garcia, the fight will be his first since a knockout win over Oscar Duarte in December. That stoppage victory was an incredibly important one for the former interim champion.
The bout took place just months after Garcia suffered the first defeat of his career against ‘Tank’. Last April, the two stars met in Las Vegas in the biggest pay-per-view of the year. Despite some early success in the opening round from Garcia, it was largely dominated by Davis.
In the closing seconds of round two, Davis flattened Garcia. While the young boxer was able to climb off the canvas, he wound up being stopped in the seventh round by a body shot. Nearly a year on from that bout, Garcia was asked to rate Davis’ power in an interview.
Oleksandr Usyk has a ‘secret’ part in his fight deal that says he’ll box Filip Hrgovic on May 18 if Tyson Fury pulls out again.
The big fight between Fury and Usyk was meant to happen tonight in Saudi Arabia, but Fury had to stop training two weeks ago because he got a cut while sparring. The match, which will decide the first undisputed heavyweight champ since Lennox Lewis in 1999, was quickly moved to May 18.
If one of them can’t make the new date, they have to pay the other $10million from their fight contract. Usyk also made sure that if Fury doesn’t show up, he will fight the next boxer in line, Hrgovic.
Usyk’s coach Sergey Lapin spoke to Fruity Slots: “I hope Usyk will get the chance to settle the score with Fury on May 18, but if he continues to run, then we have a clause in the agreement to replace Fury with Filip Hrgovic,” and “Hrgovic is the back-up opponent, so the show will go on regardless of whether he shows up, this was also confirmed by His Excellency Turki Al Sheikh.”

Loved by fans and not have a nickname? At least that’s not how it goes down in the golf world. From the animal kingdom to McDonald’s, golf fans can easily come up with one for their favorites, like ‘Golden Bear’ for Jack Nicklaus, ‘Lefty’ for Phil Mickelson, or ‘Wee-Mac’ for Rory McIlroy. Every golfer has one nickname, which is used by all to cheer them on
Well, it seems that Patrick Cantlay has been adorned with the same liberty more than once. From having the most common nickname to being associated with a TV character, the eight-time PGA Tour winner earned a new moniker. So what’s Cantlay called on the greens and more importantly, does he like the nickname?
It is not news that Patrick Cantlay is usually calm on the golf course. Whether he made a winning putt or lost in the playoffs, one may never see him react to any of the results. Now, couple that with a Cantlay who likes to joke around with his friends and exactly portrays Sheldon from Big Bang Theory. Well, that was one of his nicknames.

But now the eight-time PGA Tour winner is known by a different moniker on the greens and that goes to show his silent nature. Cantlay earned this nickname after he came back on the PGA Tour from a debilitating back injury and won the FedExCup in 2021. When he knocked off the “Scientist,” aka Bryson DeChambeau in a sixth playoff, the crowd started chanting
When it comes to greatness in tennis, Roger Ferderer is a name that would certainly stand out on top. Throughout his years as a professional tennis player, he not only stunned everyone but also brought a unique touch to a game with his one-handed backhand. In an era that was majorly dominated by his rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic‘s 2 handed backhands, Federer changed the dynamics of the game.
Reflecting on the same, Jimmy Connors, in a recent podcast came ahead and went down the tennis line while revealing how one-handed backhand players brought more fun and excitement to the game.
In a tennis world that is highly dominated by two-handed backhands, Roger Federer’s one-handed backhand is a mesmerizing nod to tradition. In a recent podcast, Brett Connors came ahead and appreciated its “cool” and “classic” appeal. On the other hand, Jimmy Connors suggested that it was “beautiful to watch.”
“There’s something really pretty about the one hander, you know, like when when, when they just load up and they extend and they’re kind of like, you know, their arms are spread apart and the chest goes out like if in front of their body they put throw everything into it. It’s a it’s kind of cool looking. It feels like kind of like classic like old school, you know what I mean?” said Brett while talking about the unique style that one-handed backhand players brought into the game.
The legendary Spaniard declared he would, though, support his son, Rafa Jr, if he does decide to follow in his footsteps by choosing to play tennis.
In October 2022, Nadal and his wife Mery Perello welcome their first child – a boy they named Rafael Nadal Perello. The Spaniard is known to be a very private person who prefers to enjoy his personal life away from the public eye, and he has rarely been seen in public with his son.
In a recent interview with Hola Spain, Nadal said: “My wife likes that I’m still playing tennis. She likes for us to have that experience with my son.”
“(On becoming a father) It’s a radical change. No doubt about that. I think everyone that’s a father or a mother knows that it’s a change. You have to adapt to it.”
During his TV interview with La Sexta earlier this week, Nadal addressed whether he would like to see his son try to follow his path in the sport when he grows up.
“I would prefer if he plays another sport, if I’m being honest… It pains me to say it with everything that tennis has given me,” the 37-year-old said.
“If he wants to play tennis, I will support him 100 percent. I would never veto his decision to play tennis, but if he plays another sport, even better.”
World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is reportedly eyeing a move to a luxury mansion on an offshore tax haven.
Fury currently lives in his hometown of Morecambe, but is considering a change of scenery and went to view a potential new home before Christmas.
The 34-year-old is interested in renting a place with his wife Paris and their seven children, and went via helicopter to look at a £10,000-a-month mansion last year, according to The Mirror.
The mansion known as Billown Manor is located on the Isle of Man, and has six double ensuite bedrooms, two self-contained two-bedroom flats, a swimming pool, gym and tennis court.
An estate agent’s listing hails Billown Manor as: ‘One of the Isle of Man’s most exclusive period homes. Beautifully appointed, extremely private and set in a manicured parkland and lakeside setting.’
It could also be an attractive prospect for Fury due to the Isle of Man’s generous tax breaks for the super-rich.
Residents do not have to pay wealth taxes, capital gains taxes or estate taxes, and only have to pay 20 per cent for personal income tax.
They can also have their annual tax bill capped at £200,000 if they sign a five or 10-year deal to stay on the island.
However, in order to qualify for residency, they must live on the island for at least six months of the year.
Should Fury pen a long-term deal, he would only be paying a small fraction of his estimated wealth – believed to be around £50m – in taxes.
Tyson is a legend of the boxing game – becoming the youngest ever heavyweight champion in 1986 at the age of 20.
Following that Iron Mike won a spectacular six heavyweight championships throughout his career before hanging up his gloves in 2005.
But some 19 years later and a number of boxing fans are convinced he could still get the better of most modern fighters
After watching him throw some sharp punches and dart around the ring, one fan wrote on social media: “Mike Tyson could still beat [Deontay] Wilder.”
While a second added: “This guy would collect every belt in the world and hold it for a decade plus.”
A third chimed in, writing: “He floors Tyson Fury in the 6th round.”
And a fourth claimed: “No doubt Mike could be the heavyweight champ right now.”
Tyson did come out of retirement back in 2020 for an exhibition against fellow legend Roy Jones Jr.
