He held the NYSAC, NBA, and The Ring Magazine's heavyweight world title from 1951 to 1952, and broke the record for the oldest man to win the world heavyweight title, at the age of 37. That record would eventually be broken in 1994 by 45-year-old George Foreman. Despite holding the world heavyweight title for a relatively short period of time, Walcott was regarded among the best heavyweights in the world during the 1940s and 1950s. Especially for giving Louis and Marciano hell on the first fight he fought with them.

He is reguarded as the best fighter to ever come out of Ghana. Watching him since I was a kid I would also agree to that.

In a twist of fate, veteran fighter Chris Wade finds himself once again on the cusp of PFL welterweight greatness. The 35-year-old warrior has been given a fifth chance to claim the coveted $1 million grand prize after replacing 2021 PFL champion Movlid Khaybulaev in the upcoming semifinals against Gabriel Braga. Wade's journey has been a rollercoaster ride of near misses, but this time, he hopes to break through the barrier and achieve his ultimate goal.

Finishing in fifth place during the 2023 PFL welterweight regular season, he overcame challenges and setbacks, splitting his appearances with a loss to top seed Bubba Jenkins but rebounding with a spectacular first-round stoppage of Ryoji Kudo. Wade knows the stakes are high, having suffered defeat in three out of his four previous semifinal appearances. However, he did experience a taste of success in 2021 when he outpointed Jenkins to secure a spot in the tournament finals before narrowly missing out on the million-dollar prize to Khaybulaev. Standing across the cage from Wade is Gabriel Braga, a formidable opponent with an impressive undefeated record of 11-0. Braga's victories over the fourth-seeded Jesus Pinedo and former UFC title contender Marlon Moraes in the 2023 regular season earned him the second seed in the playoffs.

In the world of boxing, where sweat, grit, and intense competition reign, a recent viral moment has taken the sport by storm. Daniella Hemsley, an influential figure on OnlyFans, has found herself at the center of a storm after her breast-baring incident during a live TV broadcast following her victorious debut in the ring. This scandalous act has resulted in her disqualification from the upcoming Kingpyn Boxing final, leaving fans and critics alike buzzing with mixed emotions. The Kingpyn Boxing promotion made a statement this week, expressing regret for any offense caused by Hemsley's actions and announcing her exclusion from the highly anticipated final event. "As we strive to bring fans the best influencer boxing events possible, we accept that Saturday's post-fight incident may have offended some viewers," read the official statement. "The fighter involved in the incident will not be appearing in the Final event." Hemsley, whose fame has soared following the controversial incident, has chosen to take a step back from the boxing world for the time being, according to the promotion's statement. While she has remained silent on the matter, the repercussions of her actions continue to ripple through the boxing community. During a post-fight interview, Hemsley claimed to have received approval from the promoter for her provocative act. However, this assertion has done little to quell the criticism directed at her. Promoter Eddie Hearn, known for his dedication to advancing women's boxing, expressed his disappointment, stating, "I hate it, we've worked so hard for women in boxing to be respected for their ability, for their merits, for their hard work." The sentiment was echoed by two-time gold medallist Claressa Shields, who took to Twitter, denouncing the incident as a: "step backward for women's boxing." The incident has undoubtedly ignited a fiery debate within the boxing community. While some argue that Hemsley's act detracts from the accomplishments and skills of women in the sport, others view it as a reflection of her expression. Nonetheless, the consequences are clear: Hemsley's fame and popularity may have risen, but her chance to compete in the Kingpyn Boxing final has been cruelly snatched away.

Conor McGregor, the notorious former UFC champion, is facing more trouble after he allegedly got into a fight at a pub in Liverpool. The Irish fighter was in the city to attend the funeral of his aunt, who died in June. He shared some photos with his family members on social media, but his visit was not all peaceful. A video that went viral on social media shows McGregor rushing out of The Saddle Club free house in Birkenhead, as fans shouted for selfies. The video was posted by the Around Liverpool account, which claimed that McGregor was involved in a brawl at the pub. However, this has not been confirmed by the police or McGregor himself. Merseyside Police told Mirror Fighting that they were called to the pub after reports of an altercation, but no one has made a formal complaint yet. They said they are making “further enquiries” into the matter. McGregor also posted a voice note on Twitter, which he later deleted, saying “Murder, murder, everybody out. Scousers on the golly. Birkenhead is McGregor’s.” A voice note from someone who claimed to witness the incident also surfaced online. According to them, McGregor spent about “35 minutes” in the toilets with a woman, which angered her boyfriend and led to a confrontation. They said McGregor asked his security team to take him away after the fight. This is not the first time McGregor has been accused of violence and misconduct. He was recently sued by a woman who alleged that he raped her in the men’s bathroom at the NBA Finals in Miami. The woman said McGregor forced her into the bathroom and sexually assaulted her. McGregor has denied the allegations and said he will fight them in court.

According to reports, Paulo Costa and Khamzat Chimaev will finally square off at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi on October 21. The planned middleweight matchup between Costa and Ikram Aliskerov at UFC 291 on July 29 has recently been called off. The official explanation for Costa's withdrawal is still unknown, but a cryptic tweet from the Brazilian boxer himself set the rumour mill into frenzy. Many speculated in response to Costa's tweet that his choice might have been a calculated one to open the door for an epic confrontation with "Borz" later this year. According to MMA content creator Melotto, Paulo Costa has finally signed a contract to fight Chimaev at UFC 294: "Exclusive: Paulo Borrachinha has signed a contract to face Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 294 on Oct. 21 in Abu Dhabi after his bout with Ikram Aliskerov failed to materialize."

Anatoly Malykhin is not wasting any time in making his mark as the undisputed king of the heavyweight division in ONE Championship. The two-division world champion, who also holds the light heavyweight title, is already looking forward to his next challenge after unifying the heavyweight belts with a stunning TKO victory over Arjan Bhullar last month. Malykhin, who improved his perfect record to 11-0 with the win, is eager to showcase his skills in front of a new audience when ONE Championship makes its debut in Qatar later this year. The Russian powerhouse said he would deliver another memorable performance for the fans in Doha, where he hopes to defend his title. “I would be remembered by the local audience 100 percent with my beautiful knockout,” Malykhin said at the post-fight press conference of ONE Fight Night 12, where he headlined the card. Malykhin has been on a tear since joining ONE Championship in 2020, winning all four of his fights by stoppage. He captured the interim heavyweight title with a first-round submission of Amir Aliakbari in March, before dethroning Bhullar with a dominant display of striking and grappling in July. Malykhin is confident that he can maintain his unbeaten streak and cement his legacy as one of the best heavyweights in the world. He said he is ready to face any challenger that comes his way, whether it is a fellow champion, a top contender, or a newcomer. “I don’t care who I fight next,” Malykhin said. “I’m here to prove that I’m the best in the world. I’ll fight anyone, anytime, anywhere.” While Malykhin awaits his next opponent, fans can look forward to another exciting night of action on August 4, when ONE Championship returns to the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium for ONE Fight Night 13 on Prime Video. The event will feature two world title bouts, as Chingiz Allazov defends his featherweight kickboxing crown against Marat Grigorian, and Mikey Musumeci puts his flyweight submission grappling belt on the line against Jarred Brooks.

Leon Edwards, the current UFC welterweight champion, might take part in UFC 295 when the organisation returns to Madison Square Garden. According to UFC President Dana White, Edwards will undoubtedly make an appearance "before the end of the year" and "could play out to possibly fight at MSG." White didn't specifically mention Colby Covington, who was selected to challenge Edwards for the championship since he was the back-up opponent for the champion's rematch with Kamaru Usman at UFC 286. Edwards later put the brakes on that plan, aiming for an autumn return instead of Edwards vs Covington at UFC London, which takes place on Saturday at London's The O2. Covington was initially ruled out as a challenger by Edwards, who claimed the twice-declared welterweight champion wasn't deserving of a shot at the title. However, his representative then said that Leon wouldn't "die on the hill" to challenge another competitor, such as the on-the-rise Belal Muhammad. Edwards was considering fighting at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi, and the lightweight champion Islam Makhachev recently challenged the welterweight champion to a matchup there. According to White, the company has already booked events through that month, leaving open slots on the pay-per-view card for November, which is currently headlined by a heavyweight title fight between champion Jon Jones and former champion Stipe Miocic. Four months have passed since Edwards defeated Kamaru Usman by decision at UFC 286 in a rematch of his title-winning knockout of the former champion in August 2022. Since winning a decision over his former training partner and friend Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272 in March 2022, Covington hasn't competed. Shortly later, Masvidal is accused of assaulting Covington in a restaurant. As a result, a criminal case is still pending.

The UFC is approaching a major milestone in its history: the 30th anniversary of its first event, which took place on November 12, 1993. Since then, the promotion has grown from a controversial spectacle to a global phenomenon, with millions of fans and hundreds of events across the world. The man who has been leading the UFC for almost 23 years is Dana White, the president and face of the organization. White took over the UFC in 2001, when it was on the verge of bankruptcy, and turned it into a multi-billion dollar empire. He has overseen some of the most memorable moments and fights in the sport, as well as some of the biggest challenges and controversies. White recently spoke to TNT Sports’ Adam Catterall ahead of UFC London, which takes place on July 23 at the O2 Arena. He shared his thoughts on his favorite memories, his vision for the future, and his excitement for the upcoming events. The best moments White said that there are too many great moments to count, but he highlighted some of the most significant ones that shaped the UFC’s history. “Obviously buying the company, and then, you know, trying to get it back on pay-per-view. Getting our first television deal on Spike. Then getting FOX. Then ESPN,” White said. He also mentioned some of the landmark events that marked the UFC’s expansion and popularity in different markets. “Doing the big arenas,” White said “Doing Madison Square Garden for the first time. Doing the O2 [Arena] for the first time. Going into these different countries. It’s just been so many incredible moments.” The future plans White said that he is always looking forward to the next big thing, and that he has some ambitious plans for the future of the UFC. One of them is UFC 300, which is expected to take place in April 2024. White said that he has some ideas for the card, but he did not reveal any details. “I have some things in mind for UFC 300, but we’ll see how it plays out,” White said. “A lot of things depend on what happens in the next few months.” White also said that he is not planning to slow down anytime soon, and that he wants to keep growing the sport and reaching new fans. “We’re not stopping,” White said. “We’re going to keep going to new places, putting on great fights, and making this sport bigger and better.” The upcoming events White said that he is very excited for the end-of-year schedule, which he believes is one of the best in company history. The highlight of the schedule is UFC 295, which will feature a heavyweight title fight between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic. Jones is widely regarded as one of the best fighters of all time, while Miocic is the most successful heavyweight champion in UFC history. The fight has been highly anticipated by fans and media alike. “That fight is huge,” White said. “It’s one of those fights that you dream of as a fan and as a promoter. It’s going to be epic.” Before UFC 295, there are several other events that will showcase some of the best talent and matchups in MMA. One of them is UFC London, which will be headlined by Tom Aspinall and Marcin Tybura. Aspinall is a rising star in the heavyweight division, with four straight wins by knockout or submission. Tybura is a veteran who has won five consecutive fights, including four by decision. “It’s a great main event,” White said. “Aspinall is a beast, and Tybura is tough as nails. It’s going to be a war.” Another event that White is looking forward to is UFC 291, which will feature a lightweight clash between Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje. Poirier is coming off two wins over Conor McGregor, while Gaethje is looking to bounce back from a loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov. “That fight is insane,” White said. “Poirier and Gaethje are two of the most exciting fighters in the world. They always bring it. It’s going to be a fight of the year candidate.” White also mentioned some of the other events that will take place in August, such as UFC Nashville, UFC Boston and UFC Singapore. “We have so many great fights coming up,” White said. “I can’t wait for them all.”
