Despite denying recent reports of a $49 million USD boxing match against good friend Jake Paul, Mike Tyson has now revealed that he’d accept the fight for the right amount.

After becoming the only player in NBA History to record 30K career points, 10K rebounds, and 10K assists, Lebron James officially solidified his place as number 2 on the NBA’s all-time scoring list for the regular season. The previous title was held by Karl “The Mailman” Malone at 36,928 points, and James needed 20 points against the Washington Wizards on Saturday to pass that mark. Following a 45-minute overtime win in Toronto on Friday, James was questionable for the Saturday night game but ended up suiting up to record 38 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists. Unfortunately, James’ performance wasn’t enough to defeat the Washington Wizards who came out on top 127-119. Nonetheless, James made history at the 5:20 mark in the second quarter as the sold-out Capital One Arena crowd celebrated...

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 ??&#...
