The results are in for “the heaviest boxing match in history.” The long-standing beef between the world’s strongest men was addressed over the weekend in Abu Dhabi. Eddie “The Beast” Hall faced off against Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson aka The Mountain, for a “Titan Championship” boxing match. With a combined weight of almost 800 pounds — Thor Björnsson stood five inches taller — technique came out on top as The Mountain won by unanimous decision with a final scorecard of 57-54, 57-54, 57-54. Thor was able to secure three knockdowns while Hall was able to put Thor to the canvas for the first time in his fight history during round two, although many did comment on Hall’s peculiar stance where he maintained a right-leaned stance to favor his power hand. I guess technique DOES matter. Who knew ??&#...

Ferrari has achieved its first 1-2 finish since 2019 over in the Bahrain Grand Prix season opener to kickstart a new era for Formula 1 racing.

While NFL star Rob Gronkowski has been vocal about the possibility of retiring from football once again, Tom Brady’s recent announcement seems to be enough to motivate Gronk to keep going. Gronk had retired once before after the 2018 season but returned in 2020 to reunite with Brady in Tampa Bay. Brady has now revealed he is returning to football to play his 23rd season with the Buccaneers after just six weeks of retirement. In what appears to be a barbershop, Gronk is heard saying, “It’s a very good chance. I’ll let him have a little scare. Give him a couple of months without me and then, you know.” Is he coming back or not! #yeaheis ????⁦@ZacOnTheMic⁩ ⁦@TKras⁩ ⁦@gregauman⁩ pic.twitter.com/bzhQwx7FBz — alan villa (@amvilla29) March 16, 2022 “He just did it to me for a couple of months,” G...

After almost two and a half years, the Golden State Warriors‘ “Big Three” has finally reunited on the basketball court. Post-win against the Washington Wizards, Klay Thompson revealed how he felt about playing with Steph Curry and Draymond Green again. The sharpshooter was evidently sentimental and said, “It was magical. I’m looking forward to these future games as well because we’re going to rebuild our chemistry and just have fun while doing it. I appreciate every night we have with each other. I saw a stat that said every playoff game we have started together we have never lost a series. So, hopefully, we can continue the trend in 2022.” The last time the three played together was in the 2019 Finals when Kevin Durant and Thompson himself suffered devastating injuries that changed the co...
