Joshua is hoping to get an undisputed world title shot with wins against Francis Ngannou and Filip Hrgovic but Eddie Hearn thinks it could come even sooner

Anthony Joshua is hoping wins against Francis Ngannou and Filip Hrgovic will set up an undisputed world title fight.

Joshua looks to pick up where he left off last year when he fights former UFC champion Ngannou on March 8 in Saudi Arabia. The fight was supposed to be taking place just a few weeks after Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk’s undisputed clash, but Fury suffered a cut in training and the fight has been pushed back to May 18.

The winner of Joshua vs Ngannou was promised a shot at the undisputed belts but that won’t take place until next year as Fury and Usyk have to fight twice. Matchroom Boxing boss Eddie Hearn thinks there is a chance that Joshua could jump the line for a fight against Fury if both Brits win their upcoming fights.

“The timing worked perfectly for AJ to stop Ngannou and for Fury to win. We appreciate there’s this fight and this rematch, but you know how things are going to go. Come on, you know how His Excellency moves. When the biggest fight in the history of the sport is in front of you to make I’m sure as hell find a way to keep everybody happy and make that fight but it’s irrelevant right now,” he told iFL TV.

“We need that fight to happen and now that fight is happening two months after our fight. So it sounds more likely that if AJ if triumphant will fight Filip Hrgovic for a world title, which is fine and then we’ll fight the winner of Fury vs Usyk. AJ is just like ‘Sign me up to everything, I’m going to beat everyone.’ Fury recently outlined his five-fight wishlist that included potential doubleheader against Joshua and Hearn admitted that he wants ‘The Gypsy King’ to stay in boxing for as long as possible. “I love to hear this. Boxing would be a worse or weaker place without Tyson Fury, keep him in the sport,” Hearn added.

“This is what I told you, he’s got the bit between his teeth. Good, I like seeing Tyson Fury like that. Good luck to him, he says two Usyk fights but I believe there’ll be one. I love it, music to my ears. Guess what, Hrgovic is going to knock Ngannou out and beat Hrgovic if that’s what he’s got to do. Then he’s going to knockout Tyson Fury.”

Tiger Woods Teases New Apparel Announcement With a Cryptic Message

With Nike gone, what’s next for Tiger Woods? This has been a concern for more than half of the golf fans since then. The 27-year-long partners announced their fallout in early January this year. With the golf world debating over whether the 15x major winner would go for FootJoy, Greyson, or Adidas, and some even suggesting his own brand, the rumors on the topic were more available on the internet than the facts. However, Woods has finally decided to put an end to those rumors and debates with his latest social media post.

The golfer’s social media revealed the latest photo with the message, “A new day rises 2.12.24.” At first glance, it seemed hard to decipher what the post meant. It looked more or the same as what the golf legend posted a few days ago, which left the golf world confused. However, nothing can be kept hidden from his legion of fans for long.

Just minutes after the 48-year-old’s cryptic update, his famous and detective-like fansite quickly spotted the Sunday red logo on the TaylorMade gloves he was wearing in the picture. But what could this mean? Well, it definitely means good news for TaylorMade!

A new day rises. 2.12.24 pic.twitter.com/aRn1lUsn6j

— Tiger Woods (@TigerWoods) February 10, 2024

The Sunday red logo sneak peek on the gloves is a giveaway that the golfer will be partnering with his trusted club makers for years to launch the new apparel brand. However, the golf world will only be able to see him in his entire outfit on February 12th, as mentioned in the social media post, and will see him play in it next weekend when he tees up at the Genesis Invitational.

The new launch indicates a strong comeback promise from Tiger Woods
“A tournament a month.” Those words from Tiger Woods’s mouth sounded almost like a lie to the golf world, as the history since his 2021 accident has painted a different story in everyone’s mind. But those worries would come to an end with his latest apparel launch.

The trust TaylorMade has put in Woods and his ability to continue playing on the PGA Tour is a major proof of that. Confidently announcing the Genesis Invitational come back as a “playing host” to the world amid the launch also shows the fans can expect nothing less than an event a month from him.

The events he played toward the end of last year and walking 18 holes proved that Woods no longer has troubles with his leg. Tiger Woods may have failed to keep his promises to play all the majors, but this time, he means it. And who knows, maybe he might wear the green jacket on his new Sunday red this year.

“But Still Got Them Losses”: Days After Back and Forth With Alycia Baumgardner, Claressa Shields Pens Stern Message Validating Her Undefeated Record

As the first American female boxer to win an Olympic gold medal and the first American boxer of any gender to win gold in consecutive Olympic Games, Claressa Shields is already inducted into boxing history. She is highly praised in boxing for her trash talk. A sport that emphasizes verbal abuse just as much as dominating the ring.

Not too long ago, we saw Alycia Baumgardner, the undisputed super featherweight world champion, call out Shields for a fight. Shields told Baumgardner that she would make easy work of her. ‘The GWOAT’ dropped another bomb on Baumgardner on X.

Claressa Shields mocks Alycia Baumgardner’s power
Shields in the tweet called out the fact that ‘The Bomb’ has a loss on her record. She said, “They got all that KNOCKOUT POWER but still got them losses though.” Baumgardner suffered one loss in her entire career in her first WBC International Super featherweight title defense, at the hands of Christina Linardatou. Shields also boasted about her undefeated record in the same tweet.

They got all that KNOCKOUT POWER 😂 but still got them losses though. Look at me “no knock out power 😉 “ but still undefeated! Undisputed 3x, put on my ass in a fight & all BUT still P4P #1 ! Yeah, I’d hate me too hoe

— Claressa Gwoat Shields (@Claressashields) December 19, 2023

Shields mentioned how she has “no knockout power” and is still ranked No.1 in pound for pound. Shields is the current WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, WBF, and The Ring middleweight champion. In another reply, Shields agreed, recognizing the importance of a possible confrontation between the two. The feud between them has taken center stage in women’s boxing.

The Alycia Baumgardner-Claressa Shields feud
In the past, Claressa Shields had expressed respect for her fellow Olympic contender Alycia Baumgardner, refusing a fight at 147 pounds. However, Baumgardner has now called Shields out for a match. Shields initiated the conversation on social media, emphasizing that a true pound-for-pound fighter can excel in any weight class. She declared her willingness to face Baumgardner at 147, 154, 160, or 168 pounds.

The GWOAT expressed surprise as she had previously stated she wouldn’t fight Baumgardner or Mikaela Mayer. Baumgardner remains determined to face Shields. In reply, Shields, intrigued by the challenge, encouraged Baumgardner to prepare a fight plan as she considered taking her up on the offer.

There is a good possibility that we see the flag bearers of women’s boxing take each other on in an epic battle. The social media fight only creates more anticipation. What do you make of the ongoing battle online? We would love to hear your views.

Who are all of Simone Biles’ siblings? Everything to know about the gymnastics legend’s family

Simone Biles has three siblings, Adria Biles and Ashley Biles-Thomas, who are her biological sisters, and Tevin Biles-Thomas, her biological brother.

Simone’s mother Shannon was addicted to alcohol and drugs, which led to all four children being sent to foster care. After learning about the children in foster care, Simone’s maternal grandfather Ron Biles and his second wife Nellie Cayetano Biles attended to the kids there.

Ron and Nellie then started taking care of the children temporarily in the north Houston suburb of Spring, Texas. After three years, Ron and Nellie formally adopted Shanon’s youngest children – Simone and her sister Adria. Ron’s sister, Harriet, meanwhile, adopted Ashley and Tevin, who stayed in Cleveland, Ohio.

Despite not having the ideal family atmosphere in the initial phase of her life, Simone Biles went on to become one of the greatest gymnasts of all time.

Like her elder sister, Adria took up the sport when she was nine years old. Having competed at the junior elite level, she quit gymnastics in 2016. Adria then chose a different path as she studied dentistry and planned to specialize in hygiene.

Adria has now become a public figure after participating in the show Claim to Fame in 2022. Simone and Adria share a very close bond and are also best friends. Adria was a bridesmaid of Simone during her destination wedding with Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens.

On the other hand, Simone Biles’ older siblings Ashley and Tevin didn’t experience a great lifestyle like their younger ones. Both have been involved in a list of criminal cases.

Ashley has been arrested several times in cases like drug trafficking, assault, and driving under the influence. Brother Tevin was also arrested in a triple murder case on New Year’s Eve but later acquitted due to lack of evidence.

Simone’s relationship with Ashley and Tevin is not as close as her bond with Adria. Additionally, the star gymnast has two more half-siblings, Ron Jr. and Adam, after being adopted by her grandparents.

Simone Biles has had an illustrious career in Gymnastics

(Photo by Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images) — Simone Biles poses with her multiple gold medals during day 10 of the 49th FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships 2019 in Stuttgart, Germany.

Regarded as the greatest gymnast from the U.S., Simone Biles has won a record 30 medals in the World Championships, including 23 gold, four silver, and three bronze medals. Biles has claimed six titles each in all-around and floor exercise, four titles in balance beam, and two titles in vault at the World Championships.

She has also clinched seven Olympic medals, which include four gold, one silver, and two bronze medals, tying her alongside Shannon Miller for the most number of medals won by a U.S. gymnast in the history of the Games.

After playing at the PNC Championship, Woods said he felt in shape to carry out his plan of monthly competitive action this year.

“I’ll be able to walk and play,” Woods said after the final round of the Orlando event.

“We’ve been working out hard, been able to recover. We’ve been training every day, which is great. It’s been nice to knock off a lot of the rust and some of the doubt that I’ve had because quite frankly I haven’t hit a shot that counted in a long time,” he said.

The Masters will be held at Augusta National the week of April 8.

The 2024 schedule sees the PGA Championship in May, the US Open in June and the British Open in July.

Despite Achieving Global Success, Skiing Legend Lindsey Vonn Reveals Her Father’s Top Skier Pick

US Olympic legend Lindsey Vonn entered the discipline of alpine skiing as a young girl who loved to ski. Today, however, she has become a holy grail in the sport whom everyone admires and wants to surpass someday. But, she didn’t enjoy this stellar support in her earlier days when she was still grasping how to ski.

In a recent podcast episode Linsey Vonn spoke about the beginning of her skiing journey and her father’s take on it. In fact, she also revealed that despite working hard in the field, her father believed another skier was more talented than her.

Who is Lindsey Vonn’s father’s favorite skier?
3x NBA Champion Dwyane Wade invited Lindsey Vonn for his podcast, “The Why with Dwyane Wade.” One of the topics the NBA Hall of Famer introduced saw the duo talking about Vonn’s sister Karin Kildow. Wade asked at what point Vonn got into skiing full time and Karin fell out, since the whole Vonn family was into skiing.

Answering this, Lindsey Vonn said, “Me and Kara are definitely on like another level competitively, you know. And so for some reason, when we moved to Colorado, she made some friends and decided that she didn’t want to race anymore.” Vonn further added, “She went back to Minnesota, hadn’t skied in like four years, and then was state champ.”

This showcases that Kildow had a huge reservoir of talent for skiing, but she chose to not pursue it. Which, according to Lindsey Vonn, is one of her regrets. Despite this, the 39-year-old also shared, “My dad likes to say that she was more talented than I was.”

While this particular remark wasn’t very pleasing for Lindsey Vonn, she noted, “I think he likes to just jab me a little bit. Like you work harder, but she’s more talented. Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, I’m here.” Despite this, her father made sure that the young Lindsey got everything she needed to outclass everyone. In fact, he also arranged for one of the greatest skiing coaches for her when she was 17.

The coach who introduced Vonn to true hard work

Speaking at the podcast, Lindsey Vonn also said that she had hit a ceiling when she was 17. When she realized she couldn’t get any better, she spoke to her father who immediately hired one of the greatest coaches for her in Monaco.

But, this wasn’t a fancy retreat, but something that would actually drill the necessary things in her to become the greatest. Lindsey Vonn revealed that her coach used to run behind her and make her crush and rebuild herself almost every day. She noted that his training methods were very grueling and devoid of breaks.

She wasn’t even allowed to have water before completing her drills. But, this led Vonn to discover her true limits, and how easily she could push them, which shattered her phase of stagnation. Moreover, she learned what true hard work really meant and developed into a gritty and resilient athlete.
