Boxing

• Un incontro di alto profilo è fissato per il 4 luglio, annunciato dall'organizzatore White in un'intervista di martedì, con il coinvolgimento di note personalità politiche. • L'evento attira l'attenzione per l'unione tra sport e politica durante le celebrazioni del Giorno dell'Indipendenza. • Potrebbe incrementare la raccolta fondi per le campagne correlate, intrattenendo al contempo il pubblico nazionale.

• Boxers, referees, and participants from last weekend's Boxing Extravaganza at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, N.Y., have not received their paychecks as of May 8, 2026. • Managers described the event as poorly planned, with fighters who trained extensively and risked injury left without compensation; promoter Derick Gramling donated $40 to a GoFundMe that raised $240 total. • 'They need to get compensated ASAP,' said representative Rivera, highlighting the fighters' sacrifices like bleeding and cuts in the ring.

• Jake Paul stated he is targeting a return to the ring in late 2026 or early 2027 after recovering from a severe jaw injury sustained during his fight against Anthony Joshua. • Paul told Babcock this week that he is "finally feeling healthy again" and that his jaw is "definitely recovering," though he still requires medical clearance and testing before competing. • The boxer continues his rehabilitation process and has not ruled out further boxing ventures despite the significant injury, marking his next competitive timeline.
