Teofimo Lopez backs one of the Four Kings to defeat Terence Crawford in a prime-for-prime welterweight battle. ‘Bud’ called time on his Hall of Fame-worthy career in December, just a few months removed from his unanimous decision victory over Canelo Alvarez. Despite being made a pre-fight underdog, Crawford was able to dethrone the more natural super-middleweight to become a three-division undisputed champion. His best performances arguably came at 147lbs, though, as the American scored seven straight stoppages before orchestrating a ninth-round finish over Errol Spence Jr in July 2023. This victory alone has inspired many to compare Crawford with other…

Khamenei lies in state in Tehran as Iran begins week of funeral ceremonies
Josh Hart is seemingly putting a pin in speculation that the New York Knicks will be at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding. The starting guard, 31, hosed down rumors that the Knicks’ starting five players were invited to the “Wi$h Li$t” singer’s big day after she supported the team at the NBA finals last month. Fellow Knicks player Jeremy Sochan quoted a report about the invite via X on Thursday, July 2, jokingly pleading with Hart to take him along to the nuptials. “What about me? 😞 @joshhart can I be your plus 1?” Sochan, 23, quipped.

The Edmonton Oilers’ partnership with Darnell Nurse has come to an end. On July 1st, the first day of NHL Free Agency, the Oilers sent Darnell Nurse to the San Jose Sharks for Shakir Mukhamadullin and prospect Zack Sharp. The Oilers did not retain any of Nurse’s $9.25 million salary, which was the goal from the start, when Nurse asked for a trade and submitted a list of three teams: the Philadelphia Flyers, Boston Bruins, and Pittsburgh Penguins. That list got expanded to the San Jose Sharks, who kept calling about his services. Dave Pagnotta of The Fourth Period joined…
The moment the quake struck the coastal region of Caraballeda, Venezuela. @neracosu via TikTok Any large earthquake can be dangerous, but the residents of Caracas and Venezuelan coastal cities like La Guaira and Catia La Mar were victims of several unlucky factors.Two quakes in rapid succession, a fault that ruptured toward more populated areas, soft ground and the shallow depth of the temblors all combined to make the June 24 disaster especially severe, even for areas that were miles away from the epicenter.Here is what made it so deadly.The “doublet”First, and most important: there was not one earthquake but two,…
Jamie Cox, a managing partner at Harris Financial Group in Richmond, Virginia (with $1.3 billion in assets under management), had a visceral reaction to the June jobs number from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics: “These data are misleading and should be disregarded,” he said in an email to Fortune. “There is zero chance leisure and hospitality posts a negative print in the midst of the World Cup. Revisions higher in the next few months are coming.”He’s not alone. Increasingly, analysts and economists at major banks and financial institutions are saying they don’t believe the numbers. Partly, this is a…
Former Kardashian nanny Leah Barrs hinted at the content that didn’t make the cut in season 1 of Million Dollar Nannies — including some hookups. “I wasn’t the only one sampling the island,” Leah teased via Instagram Stories on Wednesday, July 1, in response to a submitted question about unaired moments from the Hulu show. While Leah did make out with a local in Ibiza on the show, she also made a startling confession about sleeping with a dad who previously hired her to watch his son. This revelation concerned certain nannies — and parents — which affected Leah’s attempt…
European champions Spain will look to secure a place in the round of 16 at the World Cup tonight when they face Austria. Luis de la Fuente’s side had a slow start with a surprise goalless draw against Cape Verde but have looked impressive in their two subsequent games, against Saudi Arabia and Uruguay, winning both without conceding. And with Lamine Yamal looking sharper as the tournament progresses, they will take some stopping. It is, therefore, a sizeable task for an Austria side who scraped through the group stage courtesy of a last-minute equaliser in a pulsating 3-3 draw with…
Moscow said its forces hit what it called military plants in retaliation against attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday that Russia would “continue to increase pressure on the Kyiv regime in order to achieve our set goals”.Ukraine accused Moscow of targeting civilian areas and said it would be wrong to equate the actions of the “aggressor and a country defending itself”.Children were among the “significant number” of casualties, Tymur Tkachenko, the head of Kyiv’s military administration, said. “The enemy is once again deliberately targeting residential areas and killing civilians,” he said early on…
