Tszyu (9-0) is known for his heavy hands and aggressive style, although the southpaw is promising to bring a more composed, defensive-minded approach when he faces fellow Sydneysider Mazoudier (12-3-1).

While fans of novelty boxing may be salivating for the scheduled Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight on November 15th, former world welterweight titlist Shawn Porter doesn’t think the fight will end up going down. “I hate to be the bearer of bad news,” the popular former champion claimed on The Porter Way podcast, “we’re not gonna ever see Mike Tyson get in the ring with Jake Paul…I don’t call the shots, I just don’t think Mike’s getting in the ring.” As far is Porter is concerned, the Tyson-Paul fight has been ridiculous from the get-go. “I just don’t see it happening,” he continued. “It didn’t make sense, to me, even from a business standpoint.”

Khabib Nurmagomedov thought about retiring in 2014 only for his father to convince him otherwise. Khabib’s comments were made after he recalled his injury after beating Rafael dos Anjos. Nurmagomedov broke his leg, keeping him out from action from 2014-16. During this period, Khabib was not the UFC Lightweight Champion. He questioned his ability to bounce back from the injury. However, his father left the decision to Khabib, stating he would find a champion with or without him. That motivated Khabib to continue.

Ray Leonard and Floyd Mayweather Jr. have excellent records in their amateur boxing before stepping up to the professional level. Amateur-wise, Leonard had 145 fights and lost only five of the fights, of which 75 of the wins came through knockouts, a feat he completed before competing in the 1976 Montreal Olympics, where he won the Gold Medal. The fight is, however, luckily placed next to the Gold Medal match, who was narrowly beaten in the semi-finals of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta after a very contentious fight against Serafim Todorov. At the beginning of his boxing career, he was virtually unbeaten in 84 fights, nine of which were defeats.

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.
