Imane Khelif shoots back to Donald Trump when the sex boxer is La 2028

Published

on

Imane Khelif swore to oppose US President Donald Trump and directed to the place at the Olympic Games in 2028. Algerian boxer won gold in the welterweight category in Paris last year, but she did it among the wave of controversy and Witriol after being wrongly accused of being a transgender athlete.

In 2023, Khelif was disqualified from the World Championships by the International Boxing Association (IBA), supported by the Russians and now discredited the global management body. They claimed that the results of blood tests meant that she did not qualify for competing with women, but never provided any documented evidence about the results. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) later ruled that the tests were not credible and cleaned Khelif to compete in France.

The 28-year-old will compete in the world championships in Liverpool this year, but she has already outlined her final goal of defending the Olympic title in Los Angeles. Since his return to the office, Trump swore to prohibit men to participate in women’s sport and falsely suggested that Khelif was born as a man.

However, Khelif is not intimidated by the president. She said: “The US president issued a decision related to transgender policy in America. I am not transisting. This does not apply to me and does not intimidate me. This is my answer.”

Despite her rebellion, Khelif admitted that the government that took place during the Olympic Games in Paris, which reached the peak of Italian boxer Angela Carini, left the fight in 46 seconds, influenced her mental well -being. Her mother also needed hospital treatment because of the stress associated with the test.

“I was deeply affected and felt discouraged, but I remained aware of what was happening,” Khelif continued. “Even during the Olympic Games in Paris, I had a team of specialist doctors who provided me with support and support. Without their support I could fall into a spiral of depression.”

IBA remains unrecognized by Olympic organizers. However, Thomas Bach left his role as the President of the IOC, and Khelif called his final deputy “maintaining the Fair Play value” and accused critics of saying only when she took a roller in Paris.

“I see myself as a girl, just like any other girl. I was born as a girl, brought up as a girl and lived all my life,” she continued. “I took part in many tournaments, including in the Olympic Games in Tokyo and other huge competitions, as well as four world championships.

“All of these took place before I started winning and winning titles. But when I started to achieve success, campaigns against me began.”

Keyshawn Davis returns to the ring in Saturday’s rematch with Nahir Albright in Norfolk.

Davis will face Albright at the Scope Arena and it will be the first Top Rank card on DAZN.

Davis (14-0, 10 KO) won the pair’s first fight, but later tested positive for marijuana and the fight was declared a no-contest.

“The Businessman” was making waves after winning the WBO lightweight title, but his progress was curtailed after he missed weight in his scheduled first defense against Edwin De Los Santos.

The 27-year-old lost his belt on weight and his fight with De Los Santos was shelved.

The home favorite returned after an almost year-long break with a last-round stoppage over Jamain Ortiz in his super lightweight debut in January.

Albright (17-2-1, 7 KO) is 1-1 since his first match against Davis, securing an upset victory over Keyshawn’s older brother Kelvin before drawing to a draw with Frank Martin in February.

Norman Jr returns after losing Haney

Canadian Wagner (19-2, 10 KO) lost every round to Harlem Eubank in his last appearance in November.

Davis fights Dobson

Kelvin Davis hopes to bounce back from his first professional loss to the aforementioned Albright when he faces Peter Dobson in a welterweight bout.

Davis (15-1, 8 KO) suffered a majority defeat to Albright, and Dobson (17-3, 10 KO) ended a three-fight losing streak, including to Conor Benn, by knocking out Jorge Humberto Rodriguez Regaldo in the first round.

Keon Davis (4-0, 3 KO), the younger brother of Keyshawn and Kelvin, can extend his undefeated decision streak with a victory over Edwine Humaine Jr. (9-2, 7 KO) in the super welterweight division.

Dedrick Crockem (6-0, 3 KO) may also need distance to beat Eric Howard (7-4, 2 KO) in the super featherweight division.

Comparison of Tyson Fury’s net worth with Anthony Joshua’s net worth as much richer

Published

on

While the so-called “Battle of Britain” will decide who dominates the ring, the battle for bank balance has already been decided. Despite being at the top of the heavyweight division for most of the last decade, Fury notes that he lags significantly behind AJ in terms of personal wealth.

According to the 2026 Sunday Times Prosperous List, Joshua’s net worth is £240 million, while Fury lags slightly behind at £162 million.

The figure represents a significant jump for Joshua, who was valued at £195 million just twelve months earlier. Much of this rise is attributed to his high-profile fight against Jake Paul in December, which is estimated to have earned him a staggering £70 million.

As a result, he is currently third on the list of the richest dynamic British athletes, behind Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton (£435 million) and golf icon Rory McIlroy (£325 million).

The foundation of Joshua’s fortune is his carefully crafted personal brand. While Fury has long marketed himself as an everyman figure, Joshua has constructed his public image more like a huge corporation than a professional fighter.

AJ’s portfolio is full of profitable, long-term partnerships with premium brands including Under Armor, Hugo Boss and Land Rover.

Combined with the enormous sums accumulated over the course of his career, most notably from his two fights with Oleksandr Usyk and his devastating knockout triumph over Francis Ngannou, these agreements helped him balloon his fortune to staggering proportions.

Fury’s earnings are no less striking, although they come from fight funds rather than commercial revenues. The Gypsy King is reported to have earned around £42 million from his trilogy with Deontay Wilder, with his two spectacular clashes with Usyk in 2024 bringing in well over £150 million.

In the broader context of British sport, both players are now among the country’s financial elite. They easily overtake names such as Harry Kane and Andy Murray, who boast an estimated fortune of around £110 million, making them among the richest people in the country.

Fury could yet make up for that gap with another record payday later this year. But for now, Joshua remains the undisputed heavyweight champion of the balance sheet.

on

Frank Warren is promoting a Doncaster show for the first time in over thirty years, while Dave Allen is keen to disrupt the odds in his hometown.

Hrgovic will enter the competition as the clear favorite against Allen after his last victory in Saudi Arabia.

“El Animal” heads into the main event looking to burst the bubble of Allen, who is fighting in Doncaster for the first time in over 10 years.

Over the years, Hrgovic has competed at a higher level, with wins over Zhilei Zhang, Dempsey McKean and Joe Joyce.

He last saw action in the Moses Itauma vs. Dillian Whyte match in Riyad, Saudi Arabia.

The Croatian defeated David Adeleye on a huge scorecard, although he faced some adversity in the eighth round when the Briton reacted well after being dropped himself in the earlier round.

During the period in which Hrgovic did not fight, Allen fought twice, the first in October when he faced Tyson Fury’s last opponent, Arslanbek Makhmudov. at the Sheffield Arena.

“The White Rhino” was outscored over 12 rounds, with the three judges scoring him 109-117, 110-116 and 111-115.

Allen returned four months later when he faced French heavyweight Karim Berredjem, whom he handled easily, stopping his fighter with a minute remaining in the first round.

Allen spoke to professional boxing fans after the pair faced off for the first time during fight week and admitted he was the underdog but was joyful for the opportunity.

“I can’t sit here and say I can beat him, but I know I can compete with him.

“You never really know because you might have a one night stand. I just need one night, like when Lucas Browne left his upper body to finish him off.”

“Or [when he won against] Nick Webb, if I hit any of them, it’s game over.

“So I’m going into this with a little more confidence, more confidence than I’ve ever had before.”

Prediction: Hrgovic will have to be at his best to avoid being dragged into the deep end like he was in the eighth round against Adeleye, but he should have enough points to score over the tough Allen.

Michael Gomez Jr. fight with Lee McGregor

Gomez Jr. wastes no time getting back into the ring. Just 46 days after his victory over Jordan Flynn, he returns to fight against the tough Lee McGregor.

He stopped Flynn in the third round of the fight, with the 30-year-old claiming he suffered a broken jaw.

This was Gomez Jr.’s first appearance. since his arrest by Reece Belotti last February.

He will be hoping to build on his recent win against McGregor, who has also fought just once since defeat last year.

McGregor most recently won a points decision over Emiliano Leonel Araujo in his first appearance since being stopped by Nathaniel Collins.

Prediction: Gomez Jr should have enough points to earn points over 10 rounds.

Undercard remaining

Louie O’Doherty and Ahmed Hatim fought challenging in an open training session yesterday and tensions are starting to build between the two undefeated fighters.

They are scheduled to fight for both the British and Commonwealth lightweight titles.

The fight will last 12 rounds. O’Doherty is coming off a 10th-round stoppage win over Regan Glackin, while Hatim won a unanimous decision over Liam Dillon last September.

Prediction: In a real 50-50 fight, O’Doherty could have the points advantage.

Dave Allen’s welterweight fighter, Joe Hayden, returns to action after an impressive second-round stoppage victory over James Atkins after his last fight, during which he won the first belts of his professional career.

He should have more than enough to beat Ryan Frost again in the later rounds, and Frost has defeated his last four opponents.

Exceptional prospects Asadkhuja Muydinkhujaev and Kian Hamilton return for the second professional appearance of their careers and both will impress. Each of them should win at the break.

Hull’s Ted Jackson returns to action against Mike Byles and should claim his seventh win since turning professional, while amateur standout Bradley Casey should remain undefeated in the cruiserweight division.

Leighton Birchall should stop Leonardo Baez early in the qualifiers, which will also feature Carl Fail.

Maxi Hughes was scheduled to challenge Lewis Sylvester, but the fight was canceled the week of the fight and “Maximus” withdrew for reasons that have yet to be disclosed.
