Paul, with a 12-1 record, called Joshua one of the best heavyweights ever and said he’s willing to “die in the ring” to win, promising to avoid Joshua’s power for eight rounds. The rules prohibit post-weigh-in rehydration. Both fighters downplayed criticism over the match-up, focusing on their determination and huge payday.

Pogba Returns in Monaco Loss as PSG Stay Top in France

Paul Pogba made his long-awaited return to competitive football in Monaco’s 4-1 defeat to Rennes, marking his first appearance in over two years after battling injuries, a doping ban, and an extortion plot. Entering as a late substitute, Pogba received a warm ovation from both sets of fans and expressed deep gratitude to supporters. Pogba’s ban, shortened from four years to 18 months after a failed drug test, ended in March. Monaco signed him after his Juventus contract was terminated following legal and disciplinary trouble. Despite Monaco's heavy loss, Pogba focused on his fitness goals and the challenge ahead. Paris Saint-Germain extended their Ligue 1 lead with a 3-0 home win over Le Havre, reclaiming top spot. Lens and Marseille also earned wins, with Mason Greenwood netting twice to become the league’s top scorer.

Paul Backs His ‘Delusional Optimism’ to Upset Anthony Joshua

Jake Paul, YouTube star and boxer, has boldly declared that his “delusional optimism” will help him upset British former world champion Anthony Joshua in their upcoming bout in Miami next month. Paul, 28, who previously defeated a much older Mike Tyson in a controversial 2024 bout, will face the 36-year-old Joshua—significantly taller, heavier, and more experienced—in an eight-round contest. The fight, set for December 19, has raised widespread safety concerns with the British Boxing Board of Control refusing to sanction it, and former champion David Haye warning it could be Paul’s “last day on earth.” Paul, with 12 wins and one loss, insists his self-belief sets him apart and challenged doubters to “be ready to be shocked.” Anthony Joshua stated he will show Paul “respect” but is “going to break his face,” promising to prove superior in the ring. Joshua […]

Former Tottenham Star Taricco Suspended for Racist Gesture in South Korea

Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Mauricio Taricco has been suspended for five matches and fined 20 million won ($13,600) by the K League after making a racist “slant-eye” gesture toward a referee in South Korea. Taricco, now assistant coach at Jeonbuk, was sent off after contesting a penalty call and then reportedly shouted the Spanish word for “racist” before pulling his eyes back with his fingers. K League officials ruled his behavior racist and referenced similar gestures as grounds for prior FIFA sanctions. Taricco claimed he was simply questioning whether the referee saw the handball, but the league rejected his explanation. Jeonbuk, under manager Gus Poyet, won the first-division title this season, with Taricco as assistant. The duo have worked together in England, Greece, Spain, China, and France. The K League emphasized zero tolerance for actions widely perceived as racist.

Stakeholders Demand Probe After Nigeria’s World Cup Bid Fails

Football stakeholders in Nigeria are demanding an urgent investigation into the failings of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) after the Super Eagles’ campaign to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup ended in defeat to DR Congo. Allegations of corruption and poor management have surfaced, with ex-internationals Harrison Jalla and Adegoke Adelabu insisting the sport needs a complete overhaul. Nigeria missed the 2022 and now 2026 tournaments despite the government allocating N1 billion for the recent playoff, and players reportedly went on strike over unpaid allowances. Critics say the NFF lacks transparency and accountability, running “like a cult.” They urge President Tinubu to dissolve the current board, probe the failed campaign, and initiate serious reforms. Adelabu called for a panel to evaluate the failures and recommend fixes, while Theodore Chukwuemeka bemoaned Nigeria’s absence from the World Cup, calling it a […]
