Boxing

Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn might be two months away, but the fireworks between the two boxers have already started going off -- 'cause Eubank Jr. just slapped the taste out of Benn's mouth WITH AN EGG during an intense stare-down.

The wild scene went down in Manchester on Tuesday ... as part of a promotional event for their highly anticipated showdown at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April.

While they were exchanging words, Eubank Jr. is shown on camera reaching into his sleeve, pulling out the egg, and then smacking his opponent with it.

Forget a club or fancy restaurant -- Floyd Mayweather celebrated his 48th birthday in ultimate style by throwing a massive party at the iconic Versace Mansion!!

Mayweather set up shop at the 23,000-square-foot estate with his family and friends ... including Rick Ross (who performed!), Rich the Kid and Benny the Jeweler, who made Floyd's new iced-out chain -- which he personally designed and features The Money Team logo.

Gervonta "Tank" Davis' retirement might come sooner than he expected ... 'cause Lamont Roach tells TMZ Sports he plans to knock him out on March 1st and end his career.

Tank claims he's hanging up his gloves at the end of the year, but will enter the ring several more times before his departure -- starting with his matchup against Roach, who he'll face at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Roach, a 25-1 super featherweight, is well aware of Tank's plans ... and is determined to interrupt his agenda by making him quit earlier with a knockout.

Timberland officials apparently loved Stephen Fulton's in-fight homage to their company so much ... the boxing star tells TMZ Sports he's actually now in talks with them for an endorsement deal.

Fulton paid tribute to the outdoor footwear co. back on Feb. 1 ... when he wore some boxing shorts and boots against Brandon Figueroa that resembled jorts and a pair of Timberlands.

The outfit, designed by The Shoe Surgeon, was so cool -- it all went viral on social media ... and in the days following the bout, Fulton said Timberland reached out to him.

Mike Tyson says Jake Paul has no idea what he's talking about ... 'cause he doesn't have Parkinson's despite what the YouTube sensation says.

Here's the deal ... Jake stopped by streamer Adin Ross' place to hang out, and the two got into a conversation about psychedelic drugs -- with Jake saying he takes magic mushrooms to "fix my brain."

El Pres shared the news minutes ago ... saying the "Beef on Bourbon Street" will headline his April 18 card in Wheeling, West Virginia.

"I guess they f***ing hated each other since their playing days, baseball," Portnoy said Wednesday. "I mean, I guess not surprising. Everyone has beef with John Rocker."

Jake Paul has reached private plane status -- El Gallo just revealed he copped his own jet!!

Former junior lightweight boxing champion Jamel Herring's domestic violence charge stemming from an alleged altercation in January has been dropped, TMZ Sports has learned.

Herring's attorney -- Clyde Bennett -- released a statement on the development on Thursday ... saying there was "insufficient evidence to prove that he committed any crime against his wife" and the "investigation demonstrated her claim against Mr. Herring were false."

Bennett added Herring has since been released from jail and is now looking forward to putting the whole ordeal behind him.

Sydney Sweeney is hoping to punch her ticket to the Oscars next year as she takes on the role of Christy Martin in the upcoming biopic ... and we have the first shots from the film!

The photos and video obtained exclusively by TMZ shows the actress playfully sparring in a ring with the boxing legend herself.

The two seem to get along as they gently jab at each other, Christy obviously holding back on the "White Lotus" breakout. It’s unclear if this moment will be in the film or if it was just part of a promotional shoot, but it’s cute either way.

Dillon Danis and KSI are hoping the second time is the charm ... as they're slated to duke it out in a boxing match next month in Manchester, England!!

The YouTuber-turned-boxer made the announcement Tuesday morning ... saying, "When I found out I had the opportunity to fight [Danis], I had to take it up."

The two were first supposed to face off back in January 2023 ... but Danis pulled out -- which led KSI's team to say he was "unprepared" and that he was struggling with his weight.

A boxing match Sunday night looked more like WWE ... as two heavyweights did their best table spot in the middle of the bout -- tumbling through the ropes and crashing into the commentator set.

The moment went down on the Claressa Shields vs Danielle Perkins undercard ... with Brandon Moore taking on Skylar Lacy in the co-main event.

Once Round 8 came around, things went off the rails. It seemed as if Lacy was going in for the clinch, but he continued to push Moore toward the ropes ... eventually, sending the two tumbling outside the ring.

Jake and Logan Paul are not fighting ... in fact, they're actually teaming up -- with the two internet superstars announcing the launch of their own reality TV show.

The WWE Superstar and boxer admitted they weren't prepping to face off in the boxing ring during an Instagram Live on Thursday ... saying what they really got in the works is something better.

The two revealed "Paul American" will hit Max streaming on March 27 ... and will give fans a new look at what their lives are really like.

Jake Paul was head and shoulders above Mike Tyson in November, but their roles were reversed in their first run-in since their fight ... with El Gallo giving Iron Mike a lift during Donald Trump's wild inauguration party!!

The two boxers came face-to-face at No. 47's big bash in D.C. on Monday ... and if there was any speculation over how they felt toward each other after Paul's big victory a few months prior, their encounter was proof they were back to being buddy-buddy.

Paul and Tyson -- decked out in snazzy tuxedos -- had the whole congregation watching on as the internet superstar bent down and put the former heavyweight champ on his shoulders ... and everyone erupted in cheers when they executed the move.

What does retirement look like for Tyson Fury, one of the greatest boxers to ever step foot in the squared circle?! Mickey Mouse and long lines!

Yes, The Gypsy King may already be longing for the days of getting punched in the head repeatedly after a long day at the amusement park (kidding, of course😉)!

Tyson's wife, Paris, shared a few pics and videos of the family outing ... and all kidding aside, it looks like the Fury fam, mom, dad, and all seven kids, are enjoying the time together!

KSI's boxing return has hit a snag ... his opponent, Wayne Bridge, pulled out of their planned March tilt just hours after it was initially announced -- and it's all due to some pre-fight trash talk.

The retired soccer player announced his decision to step away from the match on Monday morning ... saying the comments KSI made over the weekend about an alleged affair involving his ex-girlfriend and his former teammate "crossed a line."

The controversial words came on Saturday ... as the two were facing off in a ring after Darren Till's win over Anthony Taylor.

Jake Paul's girlfriend just penned him a public happy birthday note ... and it's mushy as hell!!
