Strowman vs Corbin was booked for WWE TLC but unfortunately, Strowman wasn’t fit in time. However, with Corbin pissing off most of the locker room, Strowman had help at TLC from Gable, Roode, Crews, Slater, Finn Balor and WWE legend Kurt Angle who all helped rid Monday Night RAW of Corbin. Strowman has been out for a while now and with a big title match coming for the giant at the Royal Rumble, we finally have an update on Strowman’s condition....

So much for “strong foundations.” To the outside world, Japan’s politics once again seem as drearily irrelevant as ever. The hope for political openness that arose last summer – when Morihiro Hosokawa and Hata himself led a historic revolt against the arrogant-ly corrupt Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) – seems to have succumbed to business as usual. Japan’s politics now seem so weirdly removed from anything substantive that by late Saturday evening, the most likely successor to Hata seemed to be ....

Big fighters are featured on HBO's Saturday boxing event, with Kovalev's WBO light heavyweight title on the line. The bout at Atlantic City, N.J., is scheduled to go 12 rounds.

John Riel Casimero most recently faced Guillermo Rigondeaux in August 2021, defeating the Cuban legend via a split decision. The fight was a close contest which involved much taunting on the part of both boxers. Check out the highlights of John Riel Casimero vs. Guillermo Rigondeaux here: After arriving in England to prepare for the fight, Casimero posted a video of himself in a sauna. He was subsequently barred from the contest for a medical violation, as the BBBofC does not allow fighters to drain weight using saunas before fights....

Former heavyweight world champion Joseph Parker has predicted a knockout win for Fury if he is to face Usyk or Joshua. Parker, of course, shared the ring with Joshua but was defeated via unanimous decision. Parker is also close friends with Fury as they train together. The New Zealander even spends a lot of his time living in the same town as Fury and is referred to as ‘Morecambe Joe’ by Fury and their training team....

Garcia has been absent from the ring since his emphatic seventh-round TKO victory against Luke Campbell back in January 2021. Since then, there has been constant speculation on what’s next for ‘KingRy’. Garcia’s next fight was officially been announced by his promoter Oscar De La Hoya. The former boxer tweeted: The 21-0 boxer is one of the hottest properties in the Lightweight division and is in constant discussion for big fights thanks to his star power....

Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Andre Ward, Sugar Ray Leonard, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Oscar De La Hoya, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Riddick Bowe, Anthony Joshua, Wladimir Klitschko, Oleksandr Usyk and many more have taken the Olympic route to professional world title honors. But boxing at the Olympics is under threat and faces an “unprecedented risk,” according to Gethin Jenkins, the head of England Boxing. In a report by the BBC, the the International Olympic Committee has threatened to remove boxing from the Olympics if amateur boxing’s governing body (AIBA) continues with its current internal governance....

Fans of Pokemon trading cards will no doubt already know that some of them can be worth a lot of money. It’s unclear whether or not any of Bryson’s cards would fetch a good price, but just the thought of him selling something important to him to help his puppy out is enough to warm the hearts of most.

After the Dynamites skipper Shakib Al Hasan elected to bat first, the team was off to a flying start. While Lewis was smashing the Riders bowling attack, targeting the leg-side boundary, in particular, Mehedi Maruf assisted well with calculated risks but at the same time, ticking the scoreboard with some aggressive intent. Both the openers took the team’s total to 100 within ten overs before Maruf was trapped lbw by Soumya Sarkar....

Afghanistan all-rounder Mohammad Nabi starred for the Vikings with both bat and ball as he scored a fiery 37-ball knock of 87 that comprised of six boundaries and as many sixes. He took one wicket for 24 runs in his allotted four overs and as a result of his performances, was adjudged the Man of the Match.

Bradley set the early pace in Ontario, where the American golfer carded a seven-under-par 63 on Thursday. The 2011 US PGA Championship winner was bogey-free at Hamilton Golf and Country Club, holing seven birdies throughout day one. Bradley’s 63 is his best round since 2013 when the four-time PGA Tour champion shot the same score in the second round at the Northern Trust Open. His five straight birdies from the seventh through the 11th holes were keyed by his putter as he ended the round ahead of Shane Lowry, Im Sung-jae, Nick Taylor, Erik van Rooyen and Roberto Castro....

Brando’s performance is enormous fun, but it’s not just a joke. He’s hilarious and gently mesmerizing at once, and director John Frankenheimer savvily adjusts the tone of his movie to fit Brando’s daft brilliance. This update of H. G. Wells’s 100-year-old novel is – until it collapses in the last 30 minutes – giddily entertaining, a tropical-horror potboiler with a wry sense of its own absurdity. Any movie that casts gnarly, intense David Thewlis as straight man is going to be pitched at a pretty baroque level....

The Reds second baseman displayed his old-school (many would say obsolete) sensibilities during a spring training interview with USA Today’s Bob Nightengale. On-base percentage? Useless.
