On this day in 1995, Nigel Benn & Gerald McClellan's titanic world title fight ended in tragedy. Read the story here

You must be right, of course, yes Katie Taylor's only accomplished what she did because she is a man. That's what you're getting at here. What an absolute disgraceful thing to tweet. Grow up seriously, you should apologise for something like this. It's absolutely toxic.
Interesting that Katie Taylor has never been enrolled in VADA, nor has she been gender tested.
If we have questions about Imane Khelif…

Hi @McVities just curious to know, when did penguins switch from a chocolate biscuit to a plain biscuit? And what's the reason? Not sure it tastes the same anymore.

This has annoyed me into a second day... just to say the Rumble in the Jungle was broadcast globally to an estimated audience of 1 billion people -that's 1 in 4 of the world's population, with 50 million watching on closed circuit. That dwarfs all the entries on top 10 PPV list.
I told you guys Ade Oladipo were hollow and his boxing ‘knowledge’ was just a means to get famous…
Now you see it. Not quite a 419, but pretty close.

Russell Hobbs had massive marketability in the UK - his epic trilogy in the 70s with Ireland's Morphy Richards is the stuff of legend, until he pulled the plug in his career to flog microwaves to house wives in the 90s.
Never done anything in the sport, Russell Hobbs. Overhyped, and for what? Because he has a toastie maker and matching microwave? Boring, am I right @ade_oladipo1? #boxing #RussellHobbs
I watched, 'The Smashing Machine,' last night, first time I heard 'Corridor of Dreams,' By Cleaners from Venus on the soundtrack. An immense song, can't help but wonder if it was an influence on @KasabianHQ? Serge's voice sounds not dissimilar to Martin Newell's.

I've never seen a fighters eye blow up as quickly as Thiam's. I thought he owed Trinidad money, the beating was so bad.
26 yrs ago July 22: Felix Trinidad stops Mamadou Thiam in 3, retains WBA 154lb title, American Airlines Arena, Miami. 4 months after beating David Reid for 2nd divisional title, “Tito” is back, pummeling Frenchman before rout is stopped, en route to Fernando Vargas showdown.

I hope to take the kids to Brand New Day next week. If Sadie Sink is Jean Grey I expect the movie to blend elements of Amazing #100, Uncanny #125 -127, & the Mutant Agenda to introduce the X-Men to MCU. If you know, you know.
The gang’s all here.
#SpiderManBrandNewDay is in theatres July 31. Get tickets now. spidermanbrandnewday.movie/

@MatthewAguilar5 Here's an idea - as part of your daily tweets, why not take a division a week and each day write a thread about one of the top 7 fighters in that division, Key facts, highlights, lowlights etc. The kinda stuff that KO magazine used to do. Educate middle age men.
There are guys in their 50s, 60s & 70s that know names like Boom Boom Mancini, Matthew Saad Muhammad, Frank “The Animal” Fletcher & are well-versed in the “Four Kings,” yet can’t name an active fighter. There is a gradual drop in knowledge & interest that starts around 1991 - when boxing went almost to pay formats -& became more precipitous as the sport went almost exclusively to PPV. Now, I don’t think ppl in their 40s, 30s & 20s care much about boxing. So who are the future viewers?

Who knew Michael Barrymore eating a Custard Cream cake, from Asda, in his car was a thing - but there you go.

I loved watching Cazorla, Bergkamp and Van Persie too - but they didn't win anything playing like that. Everyone loved Arsenal when we were nice but push overs. Now they are winning trophies everyone hates them. Maybe other clubs just need to get their own house in order.
I honestly believe loads of people wouldn’t dislike Arsenal if they played good football - but as a neutral it’s hard to root for a team that launches bombs to their front man, adopts timewasting tactics and puts 11 men behind the ball.
They didn’t even TRY to play football tonight for 97% of the game.
Some of my favourite Prem players of all time have played for Arsenal - Cazorla, Bergkamp etc.
But I’m sorry, that was a little bit like watching Wrexham or Swindon 🤢
Best team won the trophy

Following the Boxing Scene news, is it now impossible to break through as a boxing journalist? I used to take inspiration from Brian Doogan, who in his late teens convinced Steve Farhood he could be the Ring's UK correspondent -but I don't think those opportunities exist anymore.
