Detractors of the fight expect Tyson to withdraw from facing Jake Paul on November 15 in an eventuality backed by more than one prediction. Several conspiracy theorists believe they have the event all figured out and that Paul is already favoring a potential rematch with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. or another opponent like Tommy Fury. Paul’s assumed plan would see a ton of publicity placed on his name for a Netflix collaboration in the late fall. However, months before the fight, one skeptic sees a switching of opponents happening on top of the card.

Her overall record sits at 12-0, and the former Muay Thai world champion has never lost a mixed martial arts bout at either amateur or professional level. The UK-based flyweight dispatched of Malin Hermansson and Cornelia Holm during the 2023 PFL Europe tournament to reach the finals, where she demolished Valentina Scatizzi last December in Dublin, Ireland, to get her hands on a championship belt and a check for $100,000.

Luisa Beccaria and her daughter Lucilla love the feel of en plein air. The Sicilian family estate which they often retreat to, Feudo del Castelluccio, offers plenty of bucolic situations to enjoy. You only need a fresh cotton sundress to be well turned out for long promenades to the sea or to entertain guests alfresco under almond trees.

The city is quietly planning to open a homeless shelter that could house junkies and ex-cons just five feet from the door of a lower Manhattan elementary school, The Post has learned. 

The city Department of Social Services waited until June 13 to notify local elected officials and community board members of its controversial blueprint to convert a former Hampton Inn at 320 Pearl St. in the shadow of the South Street Seaport into a 106-bed “safe haven” shelter attached to the Peck Slip School.

It will be a “low-barrier” facility, meaning sobriety, criminal records and other obstacles typically used to...

As someone whose idea of the perfect day is lying in bed watching Netflix and FaceTiming loved ones (okay, maybe with a gentle walk mixed in for variety), I should have excelled at being in a long-distance relationship. During the year that I lived in Austin while dating my partner in Los Angeles, however, I frequently found myself getting frustrated—not with the relationship itself, but with our inability to see each other more than once a month or so. Yes, I loved being in actual love for the first time, and yes, it was fun to have someone to daydream about in absentia, but at a certain point, the old “What did you have for lunch today?” text query started to feel old.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

For decades, Angola has forced prisoners to work in fields in extreme heat. Today, they urged a federal judge to halt the practice. Prisoners filed an emergency motion about working in the summer heat, as part of a proposed class-action lawsuit to end the “Farm Line” — forced agricultural labor at the prison, for little or no pay.
