Jake Paul and Mike Tyson want their upcoming boxing bout to be sanctioned as a professional bout in Dallas, Texas. Paul’s manager laughed off claims that the two would wear headgear. The fight is set to be streamed live on Netflix and is scheduled for July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.
However, despite the fanfare surrounding the bout, boxer Chisora has made claims about the fight that might change people’s perceptions.

Talking with the reporter, Chisora said, “I know for a fact they are using 18oz gloves and head guards. So we’re watching a sparring match. It’s a joke. You think I’m paying to watch that?” As per the report, the rules of the fight have not yet been officially confirmed.

Tyson said about the fight with the reporter, “I’m very much looking forward to stepping into the ring with Jake Paul. He’s grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a ‘kid’ can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT.
“It’s a full circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch; as I started him on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones and now I plan to finish him.”
No specific details have yet been released by Netflix or either fighter ahead of the July 20 bout, with the finer details seemingly still being discussed.
Paul has a 9-1 record in professional boxing, with his only loss coming to Tommy Fury last year. In his nine wins, he has some impressive knockouts to his resume, including over Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren, and professional boxers Andre August and Ryan Bourland.

Tyson posts workout videos on social media in which he looks sharp in training, but boxing is dangerous at any age. The California State Athletic Commission required his bout against Jones to be an exhibition — essentially a lively sparring session.
Paul built a huge fan following as a YouTube influencer before he got recognition as a professional boxer for the last four years. He has won nine out of 10 fights with six knockouts against mostly undistinguished opponents, including several mixed martial artists and being a YouTuber.
Jake Paul’s boxing career
Paul made his boxing debut on January 30, 2020, against fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib (real name Ali Loui Al-Fakhri) in Miami, Florida. He won the fight via TKO in the first round, setting the stage for his future in boxing.
His next fight took place on November 28, 2020, against former NBA player Nate Robinson. The event was notable for being the undercard of the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. exhibition match. He won the fight by KO in the second round, further boosting his profile in the boxing world.
On April 17, 2021, he fought his first professional fighter, retired MMA fighter Ben Askren. Despite Askren’s limited boxing skills, the matchup garnered significant attention. He won the fight via a first-round TKO, raising questions about his ability to compete against more experienced boxers.
He faced former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in two matches. The first took place on August 29, 2021, which he won by split decision after a closely fought match. They had a rematch on December 18, 2021, after Tommy Fury, Paul’s initially scheduled opponent, withdrew due to medical issues. He won the rematch by knocking out Woodley in the sixth round, marking a significant victory in his boxing career.
Jake Paul’s First Loss
He lost his first-ever boxing match against the amateur boxer Fury in a split decision. After the loss, he made a comeback against veteran UFC legend Nate Diaz.
Many fans are waiting for her highly anticipated fight against him and fellow YouTuber and influence boxer KSI. However, due to both of their separate contract demands, they are unable to fix the boxing event.

Brian Bennett: The Rise of Zimbabwe’s Next Cricket Legend — Family, Twins, and 2026 World Cup Heroics
The 22-year-old batting sensation has taken the cricket world by storm, shattering records at the 2026 T20 World Cup while remaining deeply rooted in his Zimbabwean upbringing.
In February 2026, the global cricket stage belongs to Brian Bennett. The 22-year-old Zimbabwean opener has transformed from a promising youth prospect into a genuine international superstar, leading the “Chevrons” to their historic first-ever Super 8 appearance in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
While his aggressive batting and record-breaking stats are making headlines, the story of the man behind the bat is one of deep-rooted family values, a competitive twin rivalry, and a childhood spent in the blueberry farms of Zimbabwe.
The Foundation: Brian Bennett’s Parents and Early Life
The story of Brian Bennett begins in Harare, Zimbabwe, where he was born on November 10, 2003. He is the son of Kelly Bennett, a prominent blueberry farmer based in Ruwa, and a man whose own passion for cricket laid the groundwork for his son’s success.
Kelly Bennett was no stranger to the game; he played club cricket for Young Mashonaland, sharing the field with Zimbabwe legends like the Flower brothers and Heath Streak. Recognizing the talent in his sons early on, Kelly built private cricket nets in their backyard in Goromonzi.
It was in these nets that Brian’s work ethic was forged. Every afternoon after school and every weekend, Brian was in the nets, often under the watchful eye of his father. This “ingrained” love for the game meant that while other kids were watching cartoons, the Bennett family was analyzing Test matches.
The Twin Rivalry: Siblings Brian and David Bennett
You cannot tell Brian’s story without mentioning his siblings, specifically his twin brother, David Bennett. The two were inseparable throughout their youth, attending Peterhouse Boys’ School together—the same alma mater as Ryan Burl and Gary Ballance.
The twin dynamic was the ultimate training ground. As Brian recently recalled, “Having a twin brother helped a lot because I was never alone—I always had someone to play with.” While Brian was a prolific batter, David was an equally talented all-rounder. The two represented Zimbabwe together at the 2022 Under-19 World Cup, where Brian finished as the team’s top run-scorer.
In a twist that highlights the different paths in professional sports, Brian continued his ascent into the senior national team, while David reportedly stepped back from professional cricket to focus on the family farming business and further studies in the UK. Brian also has a younger brother, ensuring the Bennett household remains a hub of athletic energy.
Personal Life: Is Brian Bennett Dating Paige van der Westhuizen?
The question of whether Brian Bennett has a wife or girlfriend is a frequent topic among fans. As of early 2026, Bennett is not married.
Speculation regarding his dating life intensified after he shared a photo on Instagram in June 2022 with Zimbabwean Olympic swimmer Paige van der Westhuizen. Paige is a decorated athlete in her own right, having represented Zimbabwe at the 2019 World Aquatics Championships and the Paris 2024 Olympics.
- The 2022 Hint: The June 2022 post was widely seen by fans as a hint that the two young athletes were dating.
- Current Status: As of February 2026, neither Brian nor Paige has publicly confirmed their current relationship status. Both athletes maintain professional public profiles focused on their respective sports—Brian on his historic run with the “Chevrons” and Paige on her international swimming career.
2026 Career Milestone: The “World Cup Giant-Killer”
The February 2026 T20 World Cup has been Brian’s true coronation. In a tournament where Zimbabwe stunned former champions Australia and Sri Lanka, Bennett was the undisputed anchor.
- The India Valiance: In a high-stakes Super 8 clash against India in Chennai (Feb 26, 2026), Bennett scored a magnificent 97 off 59 balls*, taking on the likes of Jasprit Bumrah with fearless aggression.
- ICC Rankings: As of late February, Bennett has skyrocketed to 22nd in the ICC T20 Batting Rankings, the highest for a Zimbabwean since Brendan Taylor.
Personal Interests: Life on the Farm
When he isn’t dismantling world-class bowling attacks, Brian returns to the quiet life in Ruwa. He is an avid golfer and spends much of his downtime assisting on his father’s blueberry farm. This grounded lifestyle is often cited by his coaches, such as Justin Sammons, as the reason for his calm temperament under pressure.

Is a new power couple in the making? Tom Brady fans seem to think so.
Following reports that the NFL legend and TikTok star Alix Earle were “dancing and getting close” at a New Year’s Eve party in St. Barths, Earle’s Instagram comments have been taken over by curious fans. While neither has confirmed a romance, the “cozy” sighting has sent social media into a frenzy.
Cryptic posts
Hours after the party, Brady shared a cryptic Instagram post about “beautiful people,” which many interpreted as a nod to his night with the influencer. Earle, who was recently linked to Braxton Berrios, has yet to address the rumors, but the “Brady-Earle” ship is already gaining massive traction.

Xabi Alonso to Snub Liverpool and Stay at Bayern Leverkusen
Xabi Alonso remains the one that got away for Liverpool fans. Despite a historic snub in 2024 to stay at Leverkusen, the now-Real Madrid manager is once again at the center of Anfield rumors.
Xabi Alonso is one of the most famous former footballers in the world. The Spanish player is one of the most decorated players and has won various trophies, awards, and accolades.
He was born on 25 November 1981 in Tolosa, Spain. He played in a midfield position, mostly dominating the central position, and has also played as a defensive midfielder several times. He has about 11 million followers on Instagram.
Xabi is 42 years old and currently the head coach of Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen. He has established himself as one of the most promising young managers in the world.

Xabi Alonso to stay at Bayern Leverkusen and snub Liverpool
In an interview, Liverpool’s manager, Jurgen Klopp, claimed that this is his last season and that he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
As Liverpool is actively searching for a new manager, many fans and media considered Xabi Alonso as one of the potential candidates to replace the manager. However, Bayern Munich’s former president, Uli Hoeness, said that the move is probably impossible.
He added that given the current success of Bayer Leverkusen, he would be inclined to stay with his team and would not want to leave it behind.
Apart from Liverpool, he has also been heavily linked with Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich. Alonso has not said anything regarding his next move and is focused on winning the Bundesliga title.
Managerial career of Xabi Alonso
Xabi earned his license after completing the UEFA elite coaching course in 2018 and joined the Real Madrid U14s as a coach. In 2019, he was appointed manager of Segunda División B club Real Sociedad B. He coached the club until the end of the 2021-22 season.
He was appointed as the new head coach of the Bundesliga team Bayer Leverkusen on 5 October 2022. He was contracted until June 2024. The team had played eight games of the season and was placed second to bottom.
In his debut, he won against Schalke 04 with a 4-0 scoreline. At the end of the season, he finished in sixth place in the league and reached the semi-finals of the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League.
He rejected the move to Tottenham Hotspur and signed a new contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2026.
In the current season. 2023-24, he is currently at the top of the table and has managed to go 10 points clear of 33-time champions Bayern Munich. He likes to play in a 3–4–3 formation with an emphasis on passing and counter-attack.
He has also set a record as the first German team to go unbeaten for their first 33 games of the league season across all competitions. With eight games remaining, his team is set to create an upset in the German league by lifting the title for the first time in their history.
The current defending champion is Bayern Munich, who has won every league title in the last 11 years.
Xabi Alonso’s playing career at Liverpool
Alonso started his professional football career at Real Sociedad. He quickly progressed through the youth ranks and the reserve team and made his first team debut at the age of 18.
He appeared against Logroñés in December 1999 in a Copa del Rey match but was quickly loaned out to Eibar to gain first-team experience. However, his loan spell was short-lived as Sociedad was in the relegation zone, and the manager called him back to help out the team.
This move from the coach was successful, as the team finished at 14 positions at the end of the season. He was also made the young captain of the team.
His performance in the 2002-03 season is considered one of the best league performances for Real Sociedad.
He helped the team to finish second place, just two points below Real Madrid, and helped the team to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. He was also called up for the Spanish national football team and made his international debut in April 2003.
On 20 August 2004, he signed a contract with Liverpool, marking the beginning of a new era at Anfield. He made his debut at the Reebok Stadium against Bolton Wanderers, but the team lost the match by 1-0. He was, however, praised for his passing skills.
In his debut season, he won the Champions League with the team as he played an important role in scoring a penalty to lead the team into extra time. In the following season, 2005-06, he managed to win his first FA Cup against West Ham United.
He was part of the Liverpool team until 2009 and later made a move to Spanish giant Real Madrid. Due to his heroics in the Champions League and his beautiful plays, he is considered one of the Liverpool legends.
He was part of the Real Madrid team from 2009 to 2014 and later made his move to Bayern Munich. He retired from Bayern in 2017.
