Bo Nickal has launched a scathing attack on Colby Covington, claiming the outspoken veteran is currently out of favour with the UFC. The feud ignited during a press conference for a Real American Freestyle event, where tensions flared despite Nickal and Covington not competing against each other. Covington went on to defeat Luke Rockhold in the main event, before calling for a wrestling match with Georges St-Pierre. Nickal responded by offering to fight Covington at the proposed UFC White House event in June, especially after Covington suggested a move up to middleweight. Speaking to Ariel Helwani, Nickal said the matchup…

The relationship between boxing promoter Eddie Hearn and UFC president Dana White is rapidly cooling. What began as mutual respect — and even cooperation ahead of Zuffa Boxing’s launch in 2025 — has shifted into an ongoing exchange of subtle jabs in interviews. As both men push to shape the future of combat sports, tension between them is becoming harder to ignore. From Mutual Respect to Public Shots Hearn has often praised White’s achievements in mixed martial arts, and the pair once appeared to share a professional understanding. But that goodwill hasn’t lasted. Now, almost every media appearance seems to…
Puerto Rican super lightweight Nestor Bravo announced himself in dramatic fashion with a devastating early knockout that has already sparked “KO of the Year” debate. Fighting on the undercard of a WBC super lightweight title bout at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, Bravo stopped Mexico’s Pedro Campa in round two with a vicious left hook that sent his opponent face-first to the canvas. Campa, who had previously been stopped three times in his career, had no chance to recover after the perfectly timed shot. The emphatic win moved Bravo to 24-1 as a professional, with 17 knockouts, and marked a strong bounce-back…
After years at the center of influencer boxing, KSI has officially stepped away from the sport. The social media star hasn’t fought since his 2023 loss to Tommy Fury, and now says his time in the ring is over. In a candid interview on The Ranveer Show, the 32-year-old opened up about why he fell out of love with boxing, why a long-rumored mega-fight with Jake Paul never happened, and why he’s returning to what he enjoys most — creating content. Losing the Love for the Fight Game KSI admitted that boxing pushed him into a version of himself he…
Arman Tsarukyan continued his impressive run of side projects on Saturday with another strong wrestling appearance. His position in the UFC lightweight division remains uncertain, yet he stays consistently active. Tsarukyan keeps competing outside the leading MMA promotion to sharpen his skills. He uses these bouts to maintain momentum and public attention. Last December, Tsarukyan faced fellow UFC fighter Shara Magomedov in a grappling contest. Both fighters agreed on a submission-based rule set. Neither athlete secured a submission during the match. Officials declared the bout a draw after the final exchange. Since his victory over Dan Hooker, Tsarukyan has competed…
Dana White has never been known for thinking small, and his latest mission might be his boldest yet: reshaping professional boxing from the ground up. As the driving force behind the soon-to-launch Zuffa Boxing, White is openly declaring war on the existing power structure of the sport — and he insists he’s just getting started. In a recent interview with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, the 56-year-old doubled down on his long-running criticism of boxing’s system and promised to back up his talk with action. “I’ve talked smack about boxing for years,” White said. “Now it’s time to put my money…
Jason Luv has issued a stark warning to Adam22 ahead of their upcoming boxing bout, claiming his rival will learn the difference between “a man and a beast” when they meet in the ring later this month.

The heavyweight fight is scheduled for January 23 in Miami and will headline the first Brand Risk Promotions event of the year, organised by Adin Ross and streamed live on Kick. While Luv has insisted…
U.S. worker productivity rose sharply in the third quarter of 2025, marking the fastest growth in two years. Analysts say the increase points to the growing benefits of technology and artificial intelligence in the workplace. The data suggests that investments in AI, automation, and other technological tools are improving efficiency across multiple industries. Companies that adopted new tech solutions saw notable gains in output per worker. “This productivity surge shows that technology is starting to deliver real results for businesses,” said an economist. “AI and automation are helping workers do more in less time.” The report revealed that productivity gains…
Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has called on fans and media to respect the boxer’s privacy following a tragic car accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two of his close friends. A Tragic Loss for Joshua On 29 December, Joshua sustained minor injuries in a crash that killed team members Sina Ghami and Latif “Latz” Ayodele. Since the accident, the former two-time world heavyweight champion has paid tribute to his friends and attended their funerals in the UK.

Former UFC champion and commentator Michael Bisping believes stability will return to the men’s divisions after a period of frequent title changes. UFC belts changed hands 11 times last year, but Bisping expects far fewer switches going forward. He predicts only the flyweight and bantamweight titles will belong to different champions by the end of 2026. At flyweight, Bisping expects Manel Kape to emerge as champion, even if Alexandre Pantoja receives a rematch following his injury. At bantamweight, Bisping believes Merab Dvalishvili will reclaim the belt. He declined to predict the featherweight title due to his commentary duties for Alexander…
