Mayweather to Return to Professional Boxing at 48

By 86 0

Former undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather has announced he will come out of retirement for the fourth time and return to professional boxing later this year. The 48-year-old legend, who last fought professionally in 2017, confirmed he plans to step back into the ring after an exhibition bout against fellow former champion Mike Tyson scheduled for this spring. No opponent, date, or venue has yet been revealed for the professional comeback.

Mayweather’s last official professional fight was his famous victory over Conor McGregor in 2017, where he won by 10th-round technical knockout to finish his career with a perfect 50-0 record. Throughout his career, he captured world titles in five different weight classes and became one of boxing’s biggest global draws. Since retiring, he has remained active through exhibition matches, including his most recent bout against John Gotti III in August 2024.

In a statement, Mayweather expressed confidence in his abilities and said he still has what it takes to break more records. He also emphasized the massive financial and global appeal of his events, pointing to his history of headlining record-breaking fights against top stars like Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez. His upcoming exhibition with Tyson and the planned professional return signal that one of boxing’s most iconic figures is not yet finished with the sport.

Conor McGregor Accused of Rape in Civil Court Case

By 574 0

Irish mixed martial artist Conor McGregor has been accused of raping a woman in a Dublin hotel, with Nikita Hand seeking civil damages in a High Court case. Hand claims she was sexually assaulted by McGregor and another man, James Lawrence, at the Beacon Hotel’s penthouse suite in December 2018. McGregor’s legal team argues that Hand is attempting extortion, with the defense asserting that the injuries sustained were the result of “rough sex” and that Hand did not report the assault promptly.

The court heard that McGregor, a well-known figure from the same Dublin neighborhood, invited Hand and a friend to a party after a Christmas gathering. Hand alleges McGregor pinned her down on a bed, despite her resistance, leading to bruising and cuts. A gynaecologist testified that Hand was “shaking and crying” during a hospital examination, showing evidence of moderate to severe injuries.

In a contentious legal battle, McGregor’s defense claims that Hand had multiple opportunities to seek help and is fabricating the assault in an extortion attempt. Hand’s lawyer insists she is seeking justice and compensation for the trauma she endured. The case is expected to last about two weeks.
