World Boxing News can report another fall for boxing on the sporting mortality list following a drop outside the top ten in 2021. As WBN reported at the time, boxing no longer held a place in the top ten most dangerous sports for causing death. World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaimán has since added that boxing is now fourteenth on the list in the wake of a devastating double tragedy in Japan that left the sport reeling. Two fighters, Shigetoshi Kotari and Hiromasa Urakawa, lost their lives on the same card; a third may still not survive, a shocking reminder of…

“I’m very happy to see myself on the poster,” Zhang told UFC.com. “It’s special. I have a big, square head. It took a lot of space on the poster.” Despite the standout start to his UFC tenure, Zhang doesn’t present himself as an otherworldly figure. Perhaps that is due to the 7-6 start to his professional career, but it’s hard to not feel the hype buzzing around him, either. You don’t build a 12-fight winning streak over five years and head into a scrap with shaky confidence.  MORE UFC SHANGHAI: Walker’s Experience Over Everything | Ortega Always Within Striking Distance…

Hernandez looks ahead to de Ridder showdown “I was getting a massage and I got the offer and they said, ‘I think this is an offer you don’t want to pass.’ And I said, ‘OK, run it. Sign the contract.’ Now we’re here,” Hernandez told MMA Junkie. “If this is what I’ve got to do, let’s keep going.

Ever the ray of sunshine, I confessed that my “gut feeling” was that we wouldn’t get either.

The reason for such a grim forecast was that I’d seen this tragi-comic movie before. Spurs have “nearly” signed everyone from Jean-Pierre Papin to Eden Hazard to Rivaldo,…
