Rumors are growing that Paddy Pimblett could face Ilia Topuria for the UFC lightweight title early next year as part of the promotion’s first event under its new deal with Paramount in 2026.

Former kickboxing champion and media figure Andrew Tate announced he will assume leadership of Misfits Boxing.

Misfits Boxing began three years ago, founded by KSI, Mams Taylor, and promoters Kalle and Nisse Sauerland to host influencer and celebrity fights. The announcement appeared to catch KSI completely off guard. “WHAT THE ACTUAL F*** IS GOING ON?” he wrote on X.…

I find bare-knuckle boxing deeply disturbing. Watching two fighters trade blows without gloves, protection, or real defense feels savage and outdated. They can’t parry, block, or catch punches effectively, leaving their hands and faces shredded by the end. Professional boxing carries its own dangers, often involving longer bouts and more sustained damage. Yet boxers there defend themselves with skill and strategy—qualities stripped away in bare-knuckle contests. Imagine a technician like Shakur Stevenson fighting bare-knuckle, his hands breaking mid-fight, unable to block or counter. Without protection, skill gives way to senseless violence, erasing everything that makes boxing the “sweet science.” Why…
Jake Paul’s next opponent remains uncertain after reported issues with Gervonta Davis, but one surprising name — Francis Ngannou — has drawn attention and debate. Former UFC champion Michael Bisping weighed in on the potential matchup, calling it a “car crash” fight that would still be a win-win for Paul. While Bisping doubts the bout will actually happen, he said Paul would gain “a lot of respect” for stepping into the ring with the former UFC heavyweight king. “For Jake Paul, it would almost be worth the risk,” Bisping said. “Even if he lost — which he would — people…

The United States is seeing encouraging developments in public health, with new treatments and declining obesity rates pointing toward improved national health metrics. Medical innovation and lifestyle changes are combining to deliver measurable benefits for the population. Recent data shows a gradual decline in U.S. obesity rates. Experts link this trend to greater access to weight-loss medications, including GLP‑1 drugs such as Semaglutide, Wegovy, and Ozempic. These medications help regulate appetite, support sustained weight loss, and reduce the risk of chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Expanded insurance coverage has allowed more adults to benefit from these…
Cody Durden’s new four-fight UFC contract is off to a rough start after he suffered his third consecutive defeat at UFC Vegas 110, tapping out to Allan Nascimento in the second round. Durden, who took the 130lb catchweight bout on a week’s notice, started well but was caught in an Anaconda choke after a failed takedown attempt.
