Junior welterweights Kevin Brown and John Bauza both made weight on Thursday, ahead of their 10-round main event at the Caribe Royale Orlando set for Friday night. Brown (5-0, 3 KOs), an undefeated 30-year-old Cuban boxer with a strong amateur background, weighed in at 139.8 pounds. Brown has been fast-tracked as a pro, fighting in 10-round bouts since his second professional fight. His debut was an eight-round contest.

Jack Massey has learned to never switch off his phone. In the winter of 2022, the former IBO cruiserweight champion was inactive and avoided. He was working up a scaffold when his manager, Kevin Maree, called offering him a fight with Joseph Parker at heavyweight. Despite being in between trainers, Massey leapt at the opportunity and put in a solid display, dragging the former WBO heavyweight champion the 10-round distance and losing a competitive decision.

With two fighters well into their 30s and each seemingly slumping toward the sunsets of their careers meeting in Friday’s main event in Temecula, California, Jose Zepeda-Ivan Redkach had the potential to be a retirement fight for whichever participant came up short. And let’s hope so. In the...

It's been eight years since beloved former child star and Oscar-winning actress Patty Duke died from sepsis (a ruptured intestine) at only 69 in 2016. She was also the recipient of two Golden Globes, three Emmys, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the 1960s, she was the star of her own TV sitcom. In the mid-1980s, she served as President of the Screen Actors Guild. Through it all, she was married four times (including once to actor John Austin), had three sons, and never stopped acting. This is her tragic yet triumphant story.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

Normal service was resumed at London’s York Hall as Sam Noakes stopped Italy’s Gianluca Ceglia to successfully defend his European lightweight title. It wasn’t rip-roaring, crowd pleasing stuff from Noakes - who also holds the British and Commonwealth lightweight titles - but he had a comfortable night’s work and busted up Ceglai. After being taken the distance for the first time by Yvan Mendy in April, Noakes, 15-0 (14 KOs), will be happy to have started another run of knockouts.

They're shaped like a potato and tend to bake in hot weather, biologists say. That's why you will find cheeky little pikas in Colorado's mountains. But climate change could cause these critters' numbers to dwindle, according to wildlife experts. Like polar bears, Pikas may predict warmer temperatures, scientists say.

Believe him or not, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez maintains that his career vision is more of an event-by-event analysis rather than a grand plan extending years into the future. Despite the angst that may cause others, the sport’s most popular fighter has relied on his own reasons this year to wait out the possible future tasks of meeting unbeaten light heavyweights David Benavidez and Dmitry Bivol, and to instead turn toward a pair of 27-year-old super middleweight contenders whose combined knockout rate is just under 75 percent.

Aurora, Colo. -- Angry Aurorans on social media poked fun at the local news media Friday as more information came out about Venezuelan gangs on the Front Range. Mike Coffman, Aurora mayor, posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It contradicted comments made by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who told the New York Post the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.
