Tyson Fury wants Hafthor Bjornsson to make up his mind

Recently, Hafthor Bjornsson asked heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury’s group to send him a contract so he could sign it and prepare for the fight of his life.

“If it’s supposed to happen in November, you have to make up your mind. I need to train like crazy and I need to start having a good camp,” he stressed in a YouTube video

Tyson Fury, meanwhile, posted a video on Twitter, where he appears to be seen in an airport, while he said he was in Iceland to challenge Hafthor Bjornsson.

“Come out and fight like a man,” he said in the video

The whole thing remains nebulous and speculative, however, as after a four-month retirement, Fury wants to come out of it for a fight against fellow countryman Dereck Chisora.

If the champion returns to a ring officially in November or December, it will put this exhibition fight on the shelves!

A woman missing since 1980 has been found

Dale Nancy Wyman had been missing since 1980. She was found 42 years later, but unfortunately, she recently passed away.

Earlier this week, police in Nancy Wyman’s hometown of Ottawa said a woman who has been missing since July 16, 1980, had been out of the country for all those years, Global reported.

A press release filed more details about this, stating that the family of the lady in question had been contacted by an individual, who announced Wyman’s death.

Wyman was not kidnapped, but she left her parents’ home, with a suitcase, called a cab and never return.

The cab driver, who was the last person to see Wyman, then 22 years old, noted that she spoke with two people at a terminal, only to never see her again.

More than forty years later, after the family had long believed she was in Alberta, the case is closed, despite the bad news.

The incredible return of Ozzy Osbourne

Cover Images

Heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne was released from a Los Angeles hospital in June after undergoing what he called “life-altering” surgery, but that didn’t stop him from taking the stage with his band, Black Sabbath.

The 73-year-old singer and his band closed the Commonwealth ceremony at Alexander Stadium in his hometown of Birmingham for a surprise performance.

Ozzy seemed to be in top form, dressed in black, with his mythical black mascara and his wide smile of a man passionate about his job.

Sharon was also very happy to see her husband in such a form, he who is on the road to recovery following a major operation for an undisclosed problem.

However, the Prince of Darkness suffers from Parkinson’s.

Osbourne had also been the victim of two serious accidents in recent years that had caused him significant back problems.

The incredible and unlikely return of Ozzy Osbourne is then all the more surprising, not to mention the fact that the now 73-year-old artist has just released a new song, Patient Number 9, which is the first single from a new album to be released!
