March 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ryan Garcia has seemingly had his social media accounts hacked by individuals claiming to have murdered the boxer. “MARCH 3 SUNDAY 2024 we slit RG THROAT AND THRU HIM IN A BASKET NOBODY WILL FIND HIM BSABJANANANANANAJQKA ANAIQNANSBSNANABA A SNSNSNWKWNA S ANANSNSN SATAN SITTING AT THE TOP NOW. 666,” the post on Garcia’s X account read.

This is why you don’t mess with us at the top B-TCH ASS B-TCH SUNDAY MARCH 3 2024,” read the post on Instagram.

Fans reacted in shock to the bizarre messages, with many seeming to believe that it was real. At this time, Garcia has not released a statement. However, this is understandable as he has been locked out of his two primary social media accounts. This remains a developing story. Hacking a celebrity’s social media to perpetuate a death hoax is a surprisingly common tactic by trolls and hackers. However, we will have any updates as and when they emerge about the situation.

Elsewhere, Garcia has sounded off about Devin Haney as their upcoming boxing match approaches. “To me, it is personal in a way,” Garcia said, “I don’t know, something’s just in me. I don’t even feel like answering these questions bro, I’m sorry,” Garcia told TMZ this week. However, Garcia did answer a few more questions from the outlet, further sounding off about his April opponent. “I don’t give a f-ck about his boxing skills. I’mma beat his a–, that’s it! I’m not a boxing analyst. Forget that dude! He’s gonna get it, 4/20, that’s it!” Garcia added.

Even though there are nearly two months before their fight, tensions are high between the two men. Garcia and Haney had been separated at Super Bowl LVIII in February after getting into a brief altercation. Additionally, the pair traded words when they jointly appeared on First Take this week. Who are you backing in the bout? Let us know in the comments.

Jake Paul Calls Out Canelo Alvarez After Latest Boxing win

March 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jake Paul took aim at Canelo Alvarez after beating Ryan Bourland with a first-round TKO in Puerto Rico. “Hey, Canelo, stop ducking. I know you want it. I’m repping Puerto Rico; you’re repping Mexico. So, it’s Puerto Rico versus Mexico,” Paul said. It’s not the first time that Paul (9-1) has called out Alvarez (60-2-2). However, Canelo told the YouTuber-turned-boxer to “stay in his lane” the last time Paul made such a challenge.

However, Paul’s MVP event in his adopted island home was not all good news. MVP was forced to scrap Amanda Serrano’s Puerto Rican homecoming just minutes before the fight was meant to begin. Serrano was deemed unfit to fight due to an eye injury sustained on Friday. “She wanted to fight, but the doctor didn’t allow her to fight, because of the problem in the left eye. I assume the fight will be rescheduled and we will sanction the fight,” WBO President Paco Valcarcel said. MVP offered full refunds and promised to pay out Serrano’s opponent’s purse.

Jake Paul Signs Boxer After Viral Confrontation

Elsewhere, Paul signed Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat to his MVP label after their viral confrontation earlier this week. The two men had to be separated after Goyat pulled up on Paul in Puerto Rico, with footage of the incident quickly spreading online. Goyat is has repeatedly held the WBC Asia title and has been calling out Paul online for months. It’s now clear that the confrontation was staged to precede Goyat signing with MVP.

“I’m truly honored to be the newest member of the Most Valuable Promotions family. MVP has been making waves in the boxing world, particularly with its commitment to showcasing and uplifting women in the sport since 2021. In just 2.5 years, MVP has organized some of the world’s most significant boxing events, and I’m excited to work with MVP to elevate the status of professional boxing in India and bring attention to boxers from India globally,” Goyat said. The fighter, who was the first Indian fighter to be ranked by the WBC, is currently 18-4 in his career.

Jake Paul Blasts Kid Cudi For Not Giving Him A “Hometown Discount” On His Appearance Fee

A post shared by Most Valuable Promotions (@mostvaluablepromotions)

While Paul’s beef with Goyat, he has been known to harbor some genuine grudges. Last year, Paul took aim at fellow Ohio native Kid Cudi for his “astronomical” appearance fees. Paul claimed that he had reached out to Cudi about performing at his 2021 fight against Tyron Woodley. However, Cudi’s fee was just too much for Paul to afford. “I tried to get him to perform at the Tyron Woodley fight just before I came out and he asked for like, an astronomical fee that was like, ‘F-ck you.’ I get it, but it’s like, this was like some sh-t to tap in back with the city. Like, first event back from Covid,” Paul explained.

Furthermore, Paul argued that he gave discounts on his appearance fees when the City of Cleveland was involved. With Cudi out, Paul instead made his ring entrance to recordings of Machine Gun Kelly‘s “Till I Die” and Jeezy‘s “Put On”. Paul would go on to beat the retired MMA fighter via split decision.

Ryan Garcia Calls Out KSI

Of course, Garcia is no stranger to beef. Garcia tried to land a knockout blow on KSI following their Twitter feud last October. “KSI is so salty on me for no reason He can’t go the distance with me like he claimed. He’s a 7 head monster. Stop speaking my name. @KSI,” Garcia wrote on X following a back-and-forth between the two men. KSI had come after Garcia after it was announced that Garcia’s year-ending fight against Oscar Duarte would not be a pay-per-view event. After Garcia said he did not want to “rob his fans”, implying an easy win for himself, KSI suggested he had already robbed his fans following his loss to Gervonta Davis last year.

The two men traded barbs back and forth before Garcia finally told the YouTuber to step up or shut up. “If you want to fight me, let me know or stop speaking my name,” Garcia wrote in a private message to KSI. The December 2 fight will also be Duarte’s first since May. The Mexican-born fighter is 26-1-1 in his decade-long career.

Jorge Masvidal Teases Boxing & MMA Comeback

February 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jorge Masvidal has laid out his return to comeback to combat sports in a conversation with ESPN. “All I could tell you is I’m getting ready for some type of combat and it’s gonna be in the boxing realm. I don’t know this or that or who it’s going to be,” Masvidal told the outlet this week. Furthermore, Masvidal expressed a desire to return to MMA, naming Justin Gaethje and Colby Covington as potential opponents.

Masvidal has been out of the sport since his loss to Gilbert Burns at UFC 287 last year. In the subsequent year, Masvidal has teased a boxing match against former MMA opponent Nate Diaz. He has also worked as a promoter for his own MMA promotion, Gamebred Bareknuckle. Gamebred has an event this week, which Masvidal has invited streamer N3on to broadcast from.

Jorge Masvidal Claims Police Were Biased Against Him

Masvidal’s retirement was also marked by an ongoing beef with Covington. Masvidal allegedly attacked Covington outside a Miami Beach restaurant 17 days after he lost to Covington at UFC 272. Footage of the incident quickly emerged online and Masvidal was charged with two felonies. Furthermore, Covington has claimed Masvidal broke his tooth and gave him brain damage.

However, according to court documents from last April, Masvidal claimed that the Miami Beach Police Department showed “favoritism” towards Covington. According to Masvidal, Covington did not call 911 but a Miami Beach sergeant he trained with. Additionally, Masvidal claimed that when said sergeant arrived, he called in a “Code 3”. Code 3 is a police response code for an incident that “is defined as an emergency response determined by factors such as immediate danger to officer or public safety.” He also alleges that the unnamed sergeant made calls to individual officers to request their presence. Furthermore, Masvidal claims that in a podcast appearance prior to the incident, Covington said that he “rolls with the Miami Beach Police Department.”

YBN Nahmir still wants to fight Adin Ross in a boxing match. The rapper shared that he’s signed a contract to do so in a post on Instagram over the weekend that he’s since deleted.

“When, what, Where, I’l be there a youngin’ ain’t duck in from no [boxing glove emoji] match,” he wrote in the caption. “But is you gonn be there [laughing emoji] or just gonna talk behind the camera.” Nahmir previously claimed that Ross offered him a fight but then backed down afterward.

“Ain’t you the same n***a that just paid $2 million for a n***a to sit next to you,” Nahmir said. “Don’t mention me in no bullsh*t. I don’t give a f*ck about no free promo, no d*ck holding s**t, because I’m not that type of a n***a. I don’t care. 20 bands? What the f*ck is that?” In response, Ross said: “Nahmir, you’re not worth $100,000. You fell off, you suck at music. You failed your music career. I’ve got no disrespect to show, but that. Nahmir, you’re nothing. You’re nobody and your career sucks. He wanted 100 bands to fight. You are nowhere near 100 bands. And again, Kick paid Carti $2 mill. Hey, at least I got $2 mill to pay. You’re broke, f*ck you!”

Nahmir later fired back on Instagram Live. “Don’t at me in no f*cking sh*t if you’re talking sh*t, because you gon’ get smacked in your f*cking mouth for it. You can hire all the security that you want to. It’s not going to work like that. Don’t disrespect my name and act like, ‘No disrespect, no disrespect!’ Shut the f*ck up, n***a! How the f*ck you talk sh*t then cop a plea in the same f*ckin’ video?” It remains unclear whether the fight will actually take place.

Manny Pacquiao Has Olympic Boxing Appeal Rejected

February 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The IOC has refused to amend its rules regarding the age limit of 40 for boxers at the Olympics, meaning that retired legend Manny Pacquiao will not be able to compete in Paris this summer. The 45-year-old Pacquiao, who retired in 2021, had expressed interest in representing The Philippines at the Games later this year. Pacquaio had not officially announced he would seek a place at this month’s qualifying event in Italy or a second event in Thailand in May.

Furthermore, the IOC also rejected The Philippines’ request to be allocated universality places for the boxing events. Universality places provide underrepresented countries places in various Olympic events. “Universality places are not allocated to [teams] with an average of more than eight athletes in individual sports/disciplines at the last two editions of the Olympic Games. This is the case for the Philippine Olympic Committee,” the IOC explained.

Elsewhere, Tyson Fury’s bout with Oleksandr Uysk has been postponed until May. Fury postponed his February 17 fight against Usyk after suffering an injury in training. “I am absolutely devastated after preparing for this fight for so long and being in such superb condition. I feel bad for everyone involved in this huge event. Furthermore, I will work diligently towards the rescheduled date once the eye has healed. I can only apologize to everyone affected including my own team, Team Usyk, the undercard fighters, partners, and fans as well as our hosts and my friends in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” Fury said in a statement. Per the British fighter, he suffered an orbital laceration while sparring.

Fury and Usyk signed fight contracts last year for the first undisputed heavyweight fight in boxing’s four-belt era. Fury currently holds the WBC belt while Usyk holds the WBA, IBF, and WBO belts. The fight was originally scheduled for April 2023, with a fight slated for London’s Wembley Stadium. However, the fight fell through at the last moment. Instead, Uysk fulfilled his mandatory WBA defense against Daniel Dubois in an August fight in Poland. Meanwhile, Fury has not fought since beating Derek Chisora in December.
