WBC Heavyweight Showdown
Last night’s Ring Magazine/DAZN “Glory in Giza” Main Event between Unified IBF/WBA/WBC/ Ring Magazine Heavyweight Champion of the World Oleksandr Usyk (25-0, 16 Kos) and former Heavyweight Kickboxing Champion of the World Rico Verhoeven (1-1, 1 Ko), surpassed my expectation when both combatants bumped gloves at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt.
At the first bell you could see Usyk approaching this bout as a light night’s work for a hefty pay but as the rounds quickly progressed Usyk realized he was in a real fight with a strong warrior who had an old school style that was aggressive, awkward and defensively minded that was clearly efficient and hard to deter.
Truth be told, Verhoeven was winning rounds and had Usyk back peddling and confused by what was transpiring inside that squared circle. This novice boxer Verhoeven was putting in work and beating on Usyk the way none of his previous opponents could ever do to him in 24 fights.
This wasn’t the usual Usyk we’re used to seeing. This version of Usyk looked a little tired at times and more flat footed than usual but nevertheless still had some moments and made them count when the opportunity presented itself.
That being said, regardless of how the Judges wanted to play it, going into the eleventh round I had Verhoeven ahead and Usyk needing a knockout to win this bout and with 20 seconds left in the round Usyk went into “BEAST MODE” and threw a well-placed uppercut that dropped Verhoeven to a standing 8 count. Clearly hurt and tired, Verhoeven rose back up but was met with a barrage of punches missing and connecting that prompted the referee to halt the fight seconds before the bell sounded.
I personally think the referee ruined this bout by not giving Verhoeven the chance to see the 12th and final round. The momentum was on Usyk’s side and Verhoeven was hurt but we will never know the true outcome of this bout had Verhoeven been given the opportunity to continue.
Nevertheless, I tip my “B” hat to Verhoeven for standing his ground and going toe-to-toe with the Heavyweight Champion of the World.
Controversy aside, Usyk retained his WBC Heavyweight Title and is still King of the Heavyweight Division.

Heavyweight Showdown
In last night’s Ring Magazine/DAZN “Glory in Giza” IBF Heavyweight Eliminator, the highly touted undefeated American Heavyweight prospect Richard Torrez Jr. (14-1, 12 Kos) had himself a rude awakening when he stepped foot inside that squared circle opposite of Frank “The Cuban Flash” Sanchez (26-1, 19 Kos) at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt.
Following his setback loss to Agit Kabayel in May of 2024, many pundits had written Sanchez off as a potential Heavyweight Champion but this Warrior stayed true to himself and went back to the lab to get ready for the next opportunity and when this bout was offered, he made sure to make it count.
Torrez had high hopes and envisioned having another dominant performance with his hand being raised when all was said and done but what transpired was the complete opposite. Torrez came out the gate gunz blazing pressing the action while Sanchez remained disciplined, calculative and accurate with his punch selection, surprisingly and firmly standing his ground with the aggressor.
By the second round, “The Cuban Flash” went straight into attack mode and with barely 55 seconds into the round, Sanchez connected with a deadly well-placed right uppercut that flattened Torrez straight onto the canvas. Torrez managed to beat the referee’s count but eventually crumpled back onto the floor which then prompted the referee to halt the bout.
It was a dominant and impressive performance by “The Cuban Flash” which now places him back into contention, vying at an opportunity to challenge the King of the Heavyweight Division Oleksandr Usyk (25-0, 16 Kos).
Until then, congratulations Sanchez. Well done!

2026 NBA Western Conference Finals
The NBA’s version of the Final 4 is set to start this Monday night May 18, 2026, and as anticipated, the two power houses from the Western Conference the No. 1 Seeded Oklahoma City Thunder and the No. 2 Seeded San Antonio Spurs are set to do battle for the rite of passage to represent the WEST at the NBA Finals.
The Defending Champions Oklahoma City Thunder, led by two-time reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, are coming from two back-to-back sweeps, and are well-rested and locked and loaded to derail the San Antonio Spurs, who are fresh off a Game 6 series but still carrying the momentum and the mindset to knock off the “Thunder” from continuing on their Championship run.
The Spurs are coming into this series with the utmost confidence. Their squad is competitive and intact with a cheat code in Victor Wembanyama who can dominate and disrupt both ends of the floor at any given time. That being said, I expect OKC and SGA to continue to raise the bar and crush their competitors by any means necessary.
This will be a very intriguing series where the Defending Champs will be heavily tested by an equally balanced squad ready for that action come Game Time. Tune in Monday night May 18, 2026, and witness the Western Conference shoutout under them blazing lights.

2026 NBA Eastern Conference Finals
Not too many pundits predicted this outcome for the Eastern Conference Finals but here we are with the No. 3 Seeded New York Knicks, fresh off of a sweep of the 76ers and well-rested, patiently waiting for their next mark in No. 4 Seeded Cleveland Cavaliers, fresh off a game 7 win over the No. 1 Seeded Detroit Pistons to earn their spot. I tip my “B” hat to the Cleveland squad for the way they grinded to beat the Pistons at their own game. Them Boys were pushed, tested and they delivered with a statement game when their backs were to the wall.
The Knicks have been playing on a different level in this year’s Playoff series. Them Boys are locked in with their offensive/defensive approach clicking at the right time as a strong and powerful unit. With Cleveland not being able to rest properly before game one, look for the Knicks to come out running and gunning early to break the high that the Cavaliers are riding in with. If the Cavaliers can limit their turnovers and continue to ride their momentum, they to have a balanced squad to have a legitimate shootout of their own in this series. Destiny is knocking on both of team’s doors but only one can answer. Who will emerge victorious in the Eastern Conference Finals and earn the right of passage to the NBA Finals? Tune in for Game 1 this Tuesday night, May 19, 2026.

WBO Heavyweight Challenge
Tonight’s Queensberry Promotions/DAZN highly anticipated Main Event Heavyweight showdown between undefeated WBO Heavyweight Champion Fabio Wardley (20-1-1, 19 Kos) and former IBF Heavyweight Champion Daniel Dubois (23-3- 22 Kos) did not disappoint with the performance that these warriors brought to the stage inside that squared circle.
From the first bell Wardley wasted absolutely no time in asserting himself and his power by dropping Dubois to a standing 8 count right from the jump and continued his destructive approach well into the third round by once again dropping Dubois to a standing 8 count where Dubois was looking shaky but not yet defeated.
Confidence was building on Wardley’s side but Dubois was also building confidence and never wavered under duress and asserted himself quite well, rebuilding his own momentum by fighting under control and the leadership of his cornerman.
Surprisingly, both combatants continued to fight toe-to-toe landing heavy damaging shots on one another round by round and creating a frenzy inside the building not knowing when it could all be over by the way these two warriors were going at it inside that squared circle.
This was a battle of attrition where your condition and resistance were being tested at all times. Although Dubois was the combatant who tasted the floor twice inside that squared circle, it was Wardley who actually looked depleted and tired as the rounds progressed.
Dubois looked fresher in the later rounds hammering powerful heavy shots after heavy shots gaining some serious traction with his pressure round by round. Wardley showed us a sturdy chin and an even stronger will to survive as the rounds were clearly slipping away from him.
With Wardley’s nose damaged and one eye swollen shut, the inevitable was forthcoming as Dubois was breaking Wardley down with every punch landed. By the eleventh round, the one-sided punishment continued to the point that the referee had seen enough and stepped in to halt the bout to save Wardley from any further injury.
This was by far one of the best Heavyweight shootouts on British soil. Both warriors earned each other’s respect but there could only be one clear winner on the night and that is the new WBO Heavyweight Champion Daniel Dubois.
Congratulations Daniel on becoming a two-time Heavyweight Champion of the World.

Light Heavyweight Showdown
In tonight’s Light Heavyweight shootout at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, David Morrell (12-2, 9 Kos) got himself a stay busy fight with late replacement opponent Zak Chelli (17-3-1, 9 Kos) but unfortunately found out the hard way that playing with your food for too long can be detrimental to your health inside that squared circle. Real Talk!
Morrell, the superior combatant, came out the gate aggressively and in control dictating the action from every corner but Chelli surprisingly never wavered and continued to press the action despite appearing to be trailing on the card. Chelli showed resilience and durability while fighting his way back into the bout.
In my personal opinion, Morrell looked too comfortable coasting through the rounds looking dominant but not pressing the action enough to close the show like everyone expected him to do. In doing so, confidence was building up on Chelli’s side where he believed in himself and continued to assert himself by pressing the action and crowding Morrell with his own offensive barrages showing effect in the later rounds.
Chelli started to put his punches together and landing some damaging shots proving slowly wearing Morrell down as his punch output and defensive stance were looking shaky and finally managing to hurt Morrell in the ninth round.
With damage being done in the ninth round, Chelli went in for the kill in the tenth round
and proceeded to land a barrage of clean unanswered heavy shots forcing the referee to halt the bout at the 2:24 mark of the round.
This is a devastating loss for Morrell who was attempting to regain traction in the Light Heavyweight Division but it was a very good victory for Chelli who may have dramatically changed his situation financially and his standing in the Light Heavyweight Division regarding future opportunities.
Well done, Zak, you’ve earned this one the hard way.
