Logan Paul has trolled Floyd Mayweather on Instagram ahead of their ‘super exhibition’ bout next year – by commenting on how short he is. The YouTube star is scheduled to face Mayweather on February 20 despite being four stone heavier and being six inches taller. Paul is six foot two while ‘Money’ is five foot six and he took aim on social media with a photoshopped image. Alongside the picture of Paul stood looking over Mayweather is a caption of: “50 and oh my god he’s small.” The inspiration behind his post comes from an iconic photograph of Muhammad Ali. Ali is looking down…

Billy Joe Saunders will bid to shock the world next month by dethroning pound-for-pound king Canelo Alvarez in a huge unification bout. Saunders, who is undefeated in 30 fights, will throw down with the hard-hitting Mexican in an eagerly-anticipated super-middleweight title unification bout. Canelo retained his WBA (Super), WBC, and The Ring super-middleweight titles in February when he breezed past Turkey’s Avni Yildirim. It took his record to an incredible 55 wins and he’ll now be looking to claim another and add more gold to his collection. But Britain’s Sanders, a close friend of WBC heavyweight heavyweight Tyson Fury, is the WBO champion and is confident of upsetting…

Abu Dhabi will reportedly host the mysterious UFC ‘Fight Island’ according to stunning reports in Brazil. Combate (via Globo) claim the UFC will set up ‘Fight Island’ in the capital city of the United Arab Emirates. Abu Dhabi has more than 200 islands in its geography. The island used by the promotion is expected to host events in a row between June 27 and the end of July. UFC president Dana White plans to live on the island for the whole month of July as he rolls out multiple shows in the Middle East. “People are very intrigued by ‘Fight Island,’ and I’m…

Ronaldo Jr has impressed in the Juventus youth team, scoring four goals on his debut in a 7-1 victory over Lucento, and it seems Mateo is a natural like his big brother. In December last year, the youngster kicked a football for the first time and four months later, Mateo is showing real progress in his ball striking ability, knocking it around the house with Cristiano himself. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner posted the below clip on his official Twitter earlier. We are impressed! Cristiano Ronaldo’s son only joined the Juventus academy towards the end of August, and it looks like the…

Paris Saint-Germain star Kheira Hamraoui has detailed the horrific incident which saw her dragged from a car and assaulted with an iron bar. It was alleged earlier this week that Hamraoui had been attacked in a car being driven by teammate Aminata Diallo who plays in the same position. Diallo was arrested on suspicion of organising the attack but she’s since been released and publicly denied all allegations. L’Equipe have now revealed more disturbing details and how the entire attack took place. Diallo drove Hamraoui and teammate Sakina Karchaoui to and from a team meal in a car provided by the club – with Karchaoui…

MMA fans, say hello to Chris Barnett. The heavyweight just delivered one of the best knockouts of the year at UFC 268 and it’s no surprise that it has already gone viral. For his size, Barnett is very nimble and possess impressive speed – that was made evident by his pre-bout dance moves on the way to the cage. But that agility was on show in the octagon too as he produced a wheel kick KO that sent opponent Gian Villante crashing to the canvas. Spinning backwards, Barnett’s sudden movement threw Villante off guard as his hands dropped down. Knowing…

Floyd Mayweather’s vicious ‘cheap shot’ to claim the WBC welterweight world title against Victor Ortiz in 2011 is still clouded by controversy and viewed by many as a hollow victory. Mayweather stopped Ortiz in the fourth round in highly contentious fashion after landing two brutal strikes. Ortiz hadn’t landed much on Mayweather until the fourth round, but he connected with a few stinging shots before delivering a nasty and intentional headbutt. Referee Joe Cortez immediately separated them and signaled for time out before deducting a point off Ortiz. Rightfully so. He received a verbal warning from Cortez who resumed the…

If you ever needed proof that Japan is and always has been miles ahead of the rest of the world, look no further than the existence of this new “gaming bed”. Bauhütte, purveyors of high-end gaming furniture, have assembled everything you’d need to create your very own one-stop shop for gaming, snacking, and napping. It sure is… something. Plenty of similar products exist on the market already of course, but I think the crazy cats at Bauhütte have actually “perfected” the idea and come up with the ultimate version of the concept, which it describes – rather menacingly – as a “perpetual…

Michael Jordan’s sneakers from the cult classic Space Jam turned up on an episode of the hit TV show Pawn Stars — and they were valued at an astonishing $1m. The 58-year-old NBA legend teamed up with Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes to clash with the Monstars in the 1996 fan-favourite film. World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop owner Rick Harrison and Austin Russell, better known as Chumlee, visited a Los Angeles warehouse on season 18 of Pawn Stars. The seller brought out the “holy grail” item for Rick and Chum, which turned out to be the Air Jordan sneakers…

Tyson Fury wasn’t backing down on his claims he would retire after the Dillian Whyte, once he’d knocked his challenger out in the sixth round, but wife Paris isn’t so sure Fury had said on a couple of occasions in the build up to the fight with Whyte that he would hang up his gloves following his first fight on British soil since 2018. The WBC world heavyweight champion then landed a perfect uppercut in the sixth round of his title defence and left Whyte out cold on the canvas for a couple of moments. After that there was no backing down from…
