Terence Crawford left boxing in December—clean, undefeated, with that iron 42–0 (31 KOs). And it seems he flipped a new switch right away: now he doesn’t prove it in the ring—he drops quotes that travel faster than highlights. “I watch UFC… but I’ve never seen Topuria” The funniest part: Crawfor...
An exhibition match is usually either a cute attraction or a carefully staged “thanks everyone, everyone’s happy” kind of show. But in Dubai it turned out unexpectedly lively: Nick Kyrgios beat Aryna Sabalenka 6–3, 6–3, yet the tone after the match was not about “I proved something.” If anything,...
Sometimes fighters ahead of a big fight “shut down” and slip into a routine: gym — sleep — diet — silence. Charles Oliveira went a different way: he went and built himself a Pokédex right on his leg — a full Pokémon sleeve/lineup on his shin. Judging by the videos and photos, it’s not just one s...
There are photos that don’t need a caption like “legends met.” Because it’s obvious: these are people who are used to winning — just in different sports. Novak Djokovic shared a shot with Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev — all three crossed paths in Dubai at the Globe Soccer Awards. No loud...
On December 28 in Dubai, they’re promising a show with a title loud enough to spark arguments all by itself: the “Battle of the Sexes.” World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is stepping onto the court, and across the net stands Nick Kyrgios — the 2022 Wimbledon finalist and, as a bonus, a guy who can generate...
Sometimes boxing is romance: roaring stands, slick combos, and that “got dropped but got back up” storyline. And sometimes it’s a brutal physics lesson, where the equation is Anthony Joshua's right hand. Jake Paul once again proved he knows how to sell a show, keep the spotlight on himself, and cran...
If you’re a Man City fan, the latest chatter about Pep’s future sounds like a bank notification: “Something’s wrong with your card.” On paper, Guardiola’s contract runs until the summer of 2027 — so, exhale. But lately the Spaniard has been talking about the future in that foggy way that makes it fe...
Sometimes football serves up plots that feel like they were written by screenwriters with a decent sense of humor. Algeria vs. Sudan at the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco was supposed to be your standard “yeah, it’s a group game” kind of night. And yet the surprise “main character” turned out to b...
There are matches that make you want to double-check: wait, do the laws of football still apply? Well, the Africa Cup served exactly that kind of night. Burkina Faso drifted into full “okay lads, pack it up” territory — 0:1 in stoppage time, the scoreboard basically saying good night, the opponent’s...
Sometimes it feels like the rich and famous have the same problems as the rest of us — except instead of “I’m not picking up the phone,” it’s “I blocked you on social media,” and millions see it instantly. That’s basically where the Beckham household is right now: the family match has slid into anot...
