That’s saying a lot, considering the love-hate relationship the Hall of Fame promoter has often had with the sport of boxing. But when it comes to the sweeter science, the New Yorker still believes, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to give the women of the sport not only their time to shine but to make a fair wage in the process.

Claressa Shields calls herself the GWOAT, or the Greatest Woman of All Time. That’s for history to decide. For now, two things are certain. She’s clearly talented – and if she’s the greatest woman boxer of all time, then she’s also unfortunately ahead of her time.

Derek Chisora wore a mask depicting Zhilei Zhang’s face when he weighed in for his fight with Joe Joyce on Saturday at the O2 Arena in London.

With the 2024 Paris Olympic Games boxing tournament starting today, BoxingScene staff writers reflect on some of their outstanding memories from previous Olympics. As an American of a certain age, all my patriotic boxing-related Olympic memories come from Muhammad Ali lighting the torch in Atlanta in ‘96 or from black-and-white photos. Kind of a bummer.

Foodie in Chicago

Although this refreshing drink went viral on TikTok last summer, it's been around a lot longer. Yes, you may have noticed, the drink is called lemonade, but it's made with limes. Brazilian lemonade is thought to have originated in Brazil by a street vendor. According to All Recipes, in Brazil, the drink is called limonada Suíça, which translates to Swiss lemonade. The beverage isn't Swiss, but the Swiss company, Nestlé, began selling condensed milk in Brazil in the 1900s, which could be where the drink got its name.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you might forget who’s running things in the heavyweight division. Yes, Oleksandr Usyk is the clear and – technically or not – undisputed heavyweight king. Tyson Fury, his predecessor, will take another crack at Usyk in December. Anthony Joshua, a one-time unified champion, seems to have found a career second wind under trainer Ben Davison. Even former contenders Derek Chisora and Joe Joyce on Saturday will try to prove, perhaps just to themselves, that they can still run with the division’s big dogs. All of them, however, are in their mid-30s or older.
