By Keith Idec ARLINGTON, Texas – Jake Paul publicly admitted to carrying Mike Tyson through the latter portion of their intensely scrutinised eight-round heavyweight fight Friday night. An industrious YouTube reporter informed the easily victorious Paul during his post-fight press conference that former two-division champ Andre Ward intimated to him that Paul “carried” the legendary Tyson when it was beyond obvious that Paul’s 58-year-old opponent couldn’t compete with a much younger, fresher fighter 19 years after Tyson’s previous professional bout. Ward was part of Netflix’s commentary team at AT&T Stadium and apparently didn’t want to make that type of accusation…

It doesn’t matter if it was Alejandro Valverde in 2022, Annemiek van Vleuten and Peter Sagan in 2023 or now Mark Cavendish in 2024: whenever a retiring rider has had a significant impact on an era of the sport – or in Cavendish’s case, perhaps an even greater timespan – the resulting media attention can threaten to eclipse the news that other top names are also handing up their wheels.The end of 2024 is no different. For the 2025 season, it’s worth remembering that apart from the massive loss of Cavendish, we’ll also be missing retirees of the calibre of…

By: Sean Crose Their first fight was a war. Katie Taylor ended up winning a squeaker over Amanda Serrano, but the bout truly could have gone either way. That was back in 2022. Friday night at AT&T Stadium, Taylor and Serrano got it on for the second time as the co-main event of the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul throwdown. It was a pairing worthy of the hype.

She stayed on her feet, but…
