Deontay Wilder’s Fiancee Hits Him With Restraining Order, Alleges Domestic Violence

June 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Telli Swift, the fiancée of boxer Deontay Wilder, recently obtained a temporary restraining order against the famous athlete after she alleged that he had mistreated her several times during the previous six years. Swift, who started dating Wilder in 2015, submitted an application for the TRO in Los Angeles late last week. On Monday, the judge approved it, two days after Wilder was eliminated in a well-publicized match with Zhilei Zhang.

Swift said in her order request that Wilder had choked her “at least five times” since 2018. She added that the 38-year-old heavyweight had spit on her numerous other times and that, in a fit of rage, he had forced her face into a pillow for so long that she “nearly suffocated.” Additionally, Swift said that in mid-April, Wilder obtained unauthorized access to her laptop and sent unsettling texts to both her personal and professional connections. Swift said in the TRO application that the abuse continued, claiming that Wilder would not stop disparaging her, threatening to destroy her possessions, and expecting her to have sex with him “three times a day.”

She most recently claimed on April 15 that Deonty Wilder threw her out of their Atlanta home, even though she was in critical condition following an invasive operation. After becoming engaged to the fighter in 2018, Swift said she had been living in their LA area house with their 6-year-old daughter, but she also claimed that Wilder had been spying on her through the home’s surveillance system. When Wilder eventually returned home after his altercation with Zhang in Saudi Arabia, she continued to be concerned that he might become aggressive against her.

Wilder has not yet responded to the accusations in writing. Until both parties appear before a judge on June 25, the TRO—which mandates that Wilder keep at least 100 yards away from Swift and their daughter—will be in force. Overall, these are serious allegations against Wilder. The former boxing champ was just recently knocked out by Zhilei Zhang in an embarrassing fashion. His fiance has gone through the necessary steps to protect herself against the abusive behavior that she alleges has been going on for quite a while.

Dana White Believes Tyson Vs Paul Should Be Called Off, Calls Match “Ridiculous”

June 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The rescheduled battle, Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul, is still scheduled to debut on Netflix on June 7, 2024, despite the delay. Numerous people have expressed their opinions over the impending bout. Dana White of the UFC has weighed in during an appearance on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast. When Schulz confronted Dana about the fight during the program, the UFC President immediately referred to it as “ridiculous.” He is one of many figures to through out concern over the fight due to the age disparity.

“When this fight happens Tyson will be 58 f**kin years old. Under any circumstances an almost 60-year-old man shouldn’t be fighting a 27-year-old guy under any circumstances… it’s just f**kin ridiculous,” he said. White continued by saying that he is opposed to the fight because he is concerned about Tyson’s health at almost sixty years of age. “Jake Paul’s 27, he’s in his f**kin prime… and I love Mike. No one wants to see Mike get beat by this f**kin j**koff,” Dana White said.

Dana White Thinks Mike Tyson And Jake Paul Fighting Is Ridiculous

Dana White has commented on the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight previously as well. White clarified in March that the age difference was the reason the fight wasn’t “serious.” There are certain benefits to facing a famous fighter like Mike Tyson, though. White said, “He doesn’t [want to be taken seriously]. What Jake wants is Jake wants to make money. The people that follow Jake Paul don’t buy Jake Paul’s fights so Jake Paul has to fight people who can actually sell pay-per-views.”

Many others tried to claim Tyson’s slot when the Paul vs. Tyson bout was rescheduled because of the famed boxer’s health problems. This includes Roy Jones Jr., a past opponent of Tyson. He stated he will make sure to be ready for a battle if the chance to do so arises. Tyson could be in serious danger simply because of his age. Whatever you think about these YouTube/content creator boxing matches, they still are combat. Overall, Dana White might be on to something. We hope, if the fight goes through, that nothing happens to Iron Mike, whose health has been up in the air.

Ryan Garcia Has Cops Called On Him For A Welfare Check, His Family Is Concerned For The Boxer

June 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Authorities checked on Ryan Garcia at a posh hotel in Los Angeles on Wednesday night after receiving a phone from a family member who was worried about the boxer’s wellbeing, according to reports. According to law enforcement officials, the 25-year-old’s family called the police early in the evening, and officers were dispatched to the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills to conduct a welfare check. What what prompted the call is unknown. According to sources, after speaking with Ryan at the hotel, police concluded that he was not a threat to anyone, including himself, and that no crime had been committed. As a result, everyone left.

Garcia has experienced a busy few months. After defeating Devin Haney, a well-known boxer who had never lost before, he was disqualified for taking performance-enhancing substances. Ryan is sure that he took a tainted vitamin rather than cheating. Garcia has had a lot of ups and downs lately, to put it mildly, as he just disclosed that his mother was battling cancer. Even after the police left, the excitement for the evening continued. Sources have expressed that later that evening, Waldorf employees severed Garcia’s connection due to his allegedly erratic behavior. Garcia was evidently drinking.

Police Perform Welfare Check On Ryan Garcia

Ryan Garcia is facing charges related to the use of illicit performance-enhancing drugs. The boxer defeated Devin Haney on April 20 in Brooklyn in a highly publicized match. According to ESPN, Ryan Garcia’s B-sample test included the illegal substance ostarine. Additionally, it is claimed that he tested positive for the selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) in his A-sample, which was taken before to the altercation with Haney.

Overall, Ryan Garcia has been through a roller coaster for a couple of months. His boxing career may legitimately be in danger. He displayed erratic behavior in the lead-up to his big fight, which he claimed was all an act. Now, it seems like it wasn’t all an act, as the behavior has not only continued but gotten worse. All in all, we hope Ryan Garcia is ok and that some level-headed folks can get to the young boxer before something bad happens.

Adrien Broner Shockingly Seems To Admit To Murder At Pre-Fight Press Conference: “We Done Already Beat Bodies”

June 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Before their welterweight match on June 7, Adrien Broner and Blair Cobbs had a heated prefight news conference. Things have changed for the fighter that has won four divisions. Broner’s career has recently been stalling. He defeated William Hutchinson in June 2023, going into the fight. He finally achieved victory after more than three years away from the sport. Broner was open about his battles with alcoholism, mental illness, and bankruptcy. Broner was eager to earn the biggest fights after defeating Hutchinson. He named Ryan Garcia, Rolando Romero, and Regis Prograis as targets in an attempt to win a world title and lucrative battles. Those names did not come to pass.

But mentally, Broner appears to be much stronger for this bout, thanks to the support and training from Gervonta Davis. Tank is also getting ready for his June 15 battle with Frank Martin. Being surrounded by a world champion and one of the biggest personalities in the sport has significantly boosted Broner’s morale and mental state. He is in excellent shape for this battle, but it is unclear if he will be able to perform. Broner did say something very out of pocket and pretty eye-opening. He seemingly admits to committing murder during his prefight presser.

Adrien Broner Seems To Admit To Murder

But prior to the bout, Cobbs and the former super lightweight champion engaged in a contentious argument at their press conference in Los Angeles yesterday. It appears that Adrien Broner went too far in the midst of the deluge of insults directed at him. He declared that if he pointed, his friends would shoot them. He said, “Don’t play no games. Coz my n****s got guns with them, bro. And I’m dead serious, bro. And all I gotta do is point and they’re gonna blow.” He continued, “And I’m dead serious, bro. And me and my n***a we done already beat bodies and they’re still looking for me. And every charge [has] been acquitted, my n***a…”

Broner continued, “For real, I am not here to play no games. So we’re gonna promote the fight but we’re gonna be respectful. Don’t do no dumb s**t and I’m serious, bro. For real, bro. I’m dead serious, motherf*****s gonna shoot you in your s**t.” The tirade continued for a little while longer and contained a lot more profanity. You understand. The 34-year-old is renowned for using blunt language prior to, during, and even following fights. Overall, this may have been the reason he was dubbed “The Problem.”

Now that he is fit, Tyson will return to the ring. He is getting back to preparing for the July 20 bout with Paul. The fight is scheduled to take place in Arlington, Texas. In response to the news of Mike Tyson’s latest medical problem, Jake Paul released a mysterious statement. Paul’s remark created even further uncertainty around the case.

Tyson is over sixty years old, even with his background and standing. He is thirty years older than Jake Paul. Hopefully, nothing potentially fatal will come from the fight. In what is anticipated to be a professional fight that will be recorded on both fighters’ records, he and Tyson will battle over eight two-minute rounds.

Jake Paul Sends Out Cryptic Message After Mike Tyson’s Medical Emergency Puts Fight In Doubt

May 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jake Paul’s cryptic response to the news of Mike Tyson’s recent medical issue just weeks before their highly anticipated Netflix match has left fans and rivals alike speculating. Tyson’s ulcer flare-up, which caused him to feel queasy and lightheaded during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles, required immediate medical attention. Despite this, Tyson’s condition has been reported as “doing great.” His scheduled bout with Paul on July 20 in Texas remains unaffected. Paul’s reaction, seemingly in response to his rivals and fans using old pictures of Tyson to undermine his upcoming fight with the legend, has added a layer of mystery to the situation.

In the wake of the legend’s recent medical emergency, Jake Paul has taken aim at his competitors KSI and Dillon Danis for their use of old photos of Mike Tyson in a wheelchair. Despite the images being two years old, KSI and Danis, who both have a contentious relationship with Paul, chose to share them. Tyson, a former heavyweight world champion, has attributed his condition to a sciatica flare-up.

Jake Paul Responds To Mike Tyson’s Medical Scare

You love to make shit up before knowing the facts for clicks / likes. Nothing changed #PaulTyson

— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) May 27, 2024

Tyson spoke to Newsmax about his condition. He said, “I have sciatica every now and then, and it flares up. When it flares up, I can’t even talk! Thank God it’s the only health problem I have. I’m splendid now. Everybody in my house is truly blessed, and we’re all very grateful for whatever we have.” Jake Pual seems to be responding to the scare, throwing doubt on the fight and the fears that Tyson is too old to be competing. Despite his history and status, Tyson is almost 60 years old. Jake Paul is 30 years younger than Tyson. Hopefully, the fight doesn’t result in any life-threatening situations.

He and Tyson are scheduled to square off over eight two-minute rounds in what is expected to be a professional bout that will be noted on both fighters’ records. In his most recent professional bout many years ago, Tyson lost to Kevin McBride on his stool after five rounds. Paul, on the other hand, has defeated just one opponent, Tommy Fury, last year, having won nine of his ten battles. He has defeated journeymen boxers, seasoned MMA fighters, and sportsmen from many sports. All in all, we hope Mike Tyson is healthy, and the fight goes through with no complications.

Mike Tyson Suffers Apparent Medical Emergency On Plane Ahead Of Jake Paul Fight

May 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Witnesses claim that on Sunday, May 26, Mike Tyson experienced what seemed to be a medical emergency while traveling from Miami to Los Angeles. “Mike had some kind of medical emergency on the plane and paramedics boarded,” says the eyewitness. They said, “Before the paramedics arrived the flight issued an announcement asking for a doctor — the message even came on everyone’s screens.“ The heat in Miami caused the jet to become overheated, causing a two-hour delay before takeoff. According to the eyewitness, Mike, was traveling on American Airlines flight 1815, sporting a matching short-sleeved cabana outfit with a blue and white design.

Before being brought to the gate at the scheduled boarding time of 5:10 p.m., Mike was at the Admirals Club, but because of the delay, he was escorted away. At 6:30 p.m., the eyewitness reports that he finally boarded the aircraft. Tyson had a very scary medical scare during the flight, which his witnesses recalled. The passengers had to wait to disembark while the paramedics attended to Mike. Thus, the plane’s arrival at LAX was delayed by an additional 25 minutes.

The eyewitness continued, “He was in first class, but we were an exit row.” Additionally, they said, “They asked us to stay on the plane and landed so paramedics could enter. [The stewardess] said something like, ‘He’s a really important passenger so we wanna make sure he’s OK.’ I knew it was him, but I just mouthed the words ‘Mike Tyson’ and she nodded her head yes.” Mike Tyson’s representation said in a statement to In Touch, “Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great. He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare up 30 minutes before landing. He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.”

It is just a few months away from Mike’s much-awaited matchup with Jake Paul, which is set to take place on Saturday, July 20, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Despite the fact that Jake, 27, is younger than Mike, 30, the YouTuber had already declared he had no intention of taking it easy on the legendary boxer during the fight. All in all, we hope Mike is ok after the incident. Overall, its not a good sign for Tyson to be having medical scares before his anticipated fight.

Jake Paul Says He Is Not Going To Hold Back Against Mike Tyson: “The Legend Must Fall”

May 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Even though Mike Tyson is thirty years Jake Paul’s senior, he will not back down from a challenge if it arises on July 20. He told TMZ Sports that he would not be taking the boxing icon lightly in their next match. Folks are divided on who will prevail in the Paul vs. Tyson fight. While Paul is far less experienced than Tyson, he is still at his peak age. Tyson is undoubtedly one of the greatest to have ever competed, but he is decades removed from his supremacy. Paul was asked whether there was any aspect of him that would be reluctant because his opponent is almost considered a senior citizen. He replied, “Absolutely not.” Paul explained that if Tyson gets an opportunity to knock him out, he’ll do the exact same.

He said Mike would do the same “in embarrassing fashion.” Paul went on to say, “So, I have to reciprocate that same energy.” He continued, “But Mike Tyson is a killer. He’s ruthless. He’s the most vicious champion ever. So, I have to channel that Mike Tyson energy to finish him. And the legend must fall.” Paul stated that he believes Netflix may draw hundreds of millions of people and that AT&T Stadium would be packed due to the fight’s hype.

Jake Paul Will Not Hesitate To Knock Out Mike Tyson

Despite the age gap between them, Jake Paul said that he will “absolutely” not hesitate to take a straight shot at Tyson since Iron Mike will do the same. One of the key draws for this fight is the intrigue of seeing Tyson in a boxing ring once more. Three weeks before to the bout, on June 30, he will turn 58 years old. On November 28, 2020, Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. squared off in an exhibition match that resulted in a split draw. Tyson’s fight against Paul will be his first professional encounter since he was defeated by Kevin McBride in June 2005.

In February 2003, Tyson defeated Clifford Etienne in the opening frame of a professional or exhibition bout, marking his last victory in that regard. Paul, a 27-year-old, is 9-1 in his ten professional fights. Most of his battles have been against opponents from other sports or against competitors who were long past their peak. Overall, Mike Tyson Vs. Jake Paul will hopefully be an entertaining bout. Let’s hope no one gets seriously damaged.

Ryan Garcia’s Legal Team Addresses The Boxer’s Positive Tests For Banned Substance

May 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ryan Garcia is being accused of utilizing illegal performance-enhancing substances. On April 20 in Brooklyn, the boxer emerged victorious over Devin Haney in a widely publicized bout. Ostarine, a prohibited drug, was discovered in Ryan Garcia’s B-sample test, according to ESPN. It is also alleged that his A-sample, which was obtained before the fight with Haney, tested positive for the selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM). Regarding the accusations made against the 25-year-old prizefighter, Garcia’s legal team has provided comments.

The lawyers for Garcia, including Paul Greene, Matt Kaiser, Darin Chavez, and Guadalupe Valencia, maintain that their client did not use Ostarine or any other performance-enhancing drug. “Ryan Garcia is committed to clean and fair competition and has never intentionally used any banned substance,” the statement reads. “Soon after being notified of his positive test, Ryan voluntarily had his hair collected and shipped to Dr. Pascal Kintz, the foremost expert in toxicology and hair-sample analysis.” All in all, Garcia’s legal team is asserting his innocence.

Ryan Garcia’s legal representation has put out a strong statement asserting their fighter’s innocence. The statement continues, “The results of Ryan’s hair sample came back negative. This is consistent with contamination and demonstrably proves that Ryan had not ingested Ostarine over a period of time — the only way he would have had any advantage whatsoever in the ring.” His lawyers stated, “Ryan has voluntarily submitted to tests throughout his career, which have always shown negative results. He also tested negative multiple times leading up to the fight against Haney.”

Additionally, Ryan Garcia could be a victim of “supplement contamination,” according to the attorneys. The boxer did not obtain any “performance-enhancing benefit,” according to his camp, prior to his matchup with Devin Haney. His legal team concluded their statement, saying, “We are certain that one of the natural supplements Ryan was using in the lead up to the fight will prove to be contaminated and are in the process of testing the supplements to determine the exact source.” Overall, Ryan Garcia and his team are fighting back against the allegations of PED usage. All in all, the situation will be developing for some time.

Logan Paul Sues Ryan Garcia For Defamation Following His Second Positive PED Drug Test

May 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ryan Garcia’s B-sample, drawn for his fight against Devin Haney, apparently tested positive for the illicit substance ostarine on Thursday. The testing was conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA). Tests took place both before and after Garcia defeated Haney on April 20 by a majority decision. Garcia may be subject to fines, suspension, or even having the result of the bout ruled invalid. Now, Logan Paul has reportedly sued the boxer over the positive test results, citing defamation.

Logan Paul recently vented his anger on social media, saying that he feels his drink company is “under attack” by false narratives spreading on the internet and that he has to take action, with Ryan at the top of his list. In the complaint, Prime details Garcia’s claimed misconduct by citing his social media tirades about the drink’s detrimental side effects, including how it will “hurt you big time,” “mess up your guys’s (sic) liver,” and “kill your guys’s (sic) brains,” without providing evidence to back up the accusations. “Today we begin to hold those accountable who’ve damaged our brand for attention while we correct the narrative,” Paul said on Instagram. “We’re here to stay and will continue to change the world of hydration with bold flavors and creative innovation.”

Logan Paul Is Suing Ryan Garcia For Defamation

A post shared by Akademiks TV (@djakademikstv)

Ryan Garcia is being sued by Logan Paul and Prime. The lawsuit is positioned on the grounds of unjust enrichment, unfair competition, trade libel, and defamation. Additionally, the complaint details Garcia’s claims that Prime includes “ostarine,” a prohibited chemical for which he tested positive during his fight with Devin Haney. Prime is an official sponsor of Devin Haney. Garcia’s remarks, according to Prime, are hurting the company’s sales by implying that it is associated with the devil. Additionally, Garcia is said to have claimed that the company’s workers have “burned” and “assaulted” children. According to the lawsuit, Garcia is aware of the falsity of his assertions. Yet he is still making these ridiculous claims to further his own brand, which is built on creating drama.

Garcia has not yet responded to the case, but we anticipate one shortly. What was a monumental moment in his career, his win against Devin Haney now might be his lowest point. He has lost a lot of credibility after it was confirmed he tested positive for a banned substance. Overall, we are interested in what’s next for Ryan Garcia and whether or not this lawsuit will continue. All in all, things are not looking good for Garcia.
