Deontay Wilder contests his first official knockdown despite many believing it was the second of his career against Harold Sconiers. Wilder claims he was dropped by an illegal blow when he was down for what many believe was a follow-up to Dustin Nichols. The former world heavyweight champion shrugged off his first-ever bonafide and counted knockdown as a rabbit punch that did little to halt his progress.

Steve Claggett’s promoter, Camille Estephan, is in Miami ahead of his fighter’s chance to score one of the upsets of 2024, when Claggett challenges Teofimo Lopez Jr. Canada’s Claggett, 35, is an underdog ahead of his shot at the WBO junior welterweight title Saturday, but the challenger is also in form and has won his past nine contests. His uneven 38-7-2 (26 KOs) record might not necessarily impress, but it reveals a story of hardships and lessons learned through his near 16-year career, and Estephan therefore has confidence in him.

Draymond Green: “Bronny is going to end up being a better pro than a lot of these players in this draft because he has the athleticism, the basketball IQ, plays the game the right way. I think he’s going to be a good shooter in the NBA, and I think a lot of people judge Bronny off of his production last year at USC, which is a little skewed because for anybody coming back in the middle of a season and trying to play when everybody’s in tip-top shape is hard to do that as a newcomer, as a freshman, as a rookie, miss training camp, miss some of the season, and you come in, it’s nearly impossible.”
