At the weighing, big words flew and even a slap

Here we go. Tonight (live starting at 2 a.m. but there are several matches scheduled), at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the long-awaited boxing match between 58-year-old Mike Tyson and former youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, 31 years younger, will be staged. Spasmodic anticipation, confirmed by the media interest around the match. The’facility è sol-out with 80,000 tickets sold (some at monster figures).

During the classic weight ceremony, big words flew between the two challengers and even a slap in the face. As reported by ESPN, Iron Mike slapped Jake Paul, who was guilty of stepping on his foot at the time of the traditional face-off. Mike Tyson è appeared not very talkative and very focused on the match.

Originally scheduled for last July 20, the match è was later postponed due to Iron Mike’s physical problems. Now, we are at the showdown. Slightly modified rules: eight rounds of two minutes apiece, so as not to put 58-year-old Mike Tyson in a complicated situation in terms of physical fitness.

There is much talk about how much the two challengers will collect for this match. A purse of $20 million is rumored for the 58-year-old, former World Champion, Iron Mike while social star Jake Paul is expected to take home more than $40 million.

Dallas’ record è negative at the moment (5-7)

.

Dallas comes to Salt Lake City without Irving and Washington. Against the unconquerable Jazz, Doncic will be relied upon. The Slovenian plays at a very high level (37 points, nine assists and seven rebounds) but, in the last quarter, he goes down, like the rest of the team, allowing the Jazz to come back and take home the victory: 115-113 the final.

On the other side, great performance by Collins, author of 28 points and, most importantly, the basket that sends Doncic and his teammates to the floor. For Dallas, it is the fourth consecutive stop. In the post match, Doncic è took all the blame for the ugly defeat suffered against Utah, particularly for the mistake that allowed Collins to score the winning basket.

“&It was a misunderstanding, I didn t quite understand the directions that came from the bench: è my” fault, the words of the Dallas all-star who, in this start of the regular season, is struggling to find a way for his team to win.

Of note, for the Utah Jazz it è was the first home win since the start of the season. A success that came at the end of a great comeback with a 28 to 16 lead in the decisive last period.

Jannik Sinner comments on Umberto Ferrara’s return to the track

Three wins out of three, six sets won out of six, a round dominated against the best in the world. The real news these days, forò, è is the return to the track of Umberto Ferrara, who despite the case of unintentional contamination in which è Jannik Sinner is still involved will start working together with Matteo Berrettini.

Soè in the post-match press conference against Daniil Medvedev, we asked the world No. 1 if he had had a chance to talk to Umberto and/or Matteo before they started their collaboration: “I saw them in Monte Carlo on the last day before I came to Turin. What I can say è that Umberto è really a good trainer, he will definitely do a great job for and Matteo. He has had so many physical problems in the past, Umberto è very good and he will do a good job with Matteo”.

Returning to the court Jannik è already in the semifinals (the 12th of his remarkable season in 15 tournaments played), where he is still waiting to figure out his next rival. To close out an already resounding 2024: “I have achieved even too much of what I had thought, I never thought I would get to this point soì quickly”.

“These years have passed very quickly, I have made progress and I am very happy to be in this position. But the work never ends: once you want to win a 250, then you want to be in the top 10, then in the top 5”. And then when you’re in front you want to stay there.
