Drake bet another small fortune on a fight

Drake is a pretty intense bettor, not afraid to put some of his big fortune on a team or an individual… like Francis Ngannou, for example!

In fact,Drizzy has bet $615,000 on the UFC fighter, who takes on boxer Anthony Joshua on Friday in Saudi Arabia.

If this fight actually takes place (doubts are still circulating in this regard) and Ngannou manages to beat Joshua, Drake will pocket a total sum of $1,906,500, which is just over triple his initial stake.

Drake mentioned that he had bet on “a scary man”, who will be fighting in only his second professional boxing match. Remember that he stood like an oak tree in his first official fight in the boxing world last October, against the great Tyson Fury.

Since Ngannou lost by (controversial) split decision, many are certain that he could defeat Joshua, including Drake, who has great confidence in the fighter.

The two men will face off live from Riyadh’s Kingdom Arena at around noon (Eastern time), in a boxing match rather than an ultimate fight.

Jake Paul takes on Mike Tyson… on Netflix!

A boxing match involving two “bad boys”, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, is scheduled for July 20, and this brawl will be presented on Netflix!

It will all take place at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, in front of what should be a jubilant crowd.

Paul, renowned for his outspoken statements, was quick to declare that his fight against the 57-year-old former heavyweight champion would be the greatest boxing match in history.

Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion at the age of 20, when he beat Trevor Berbick in straightforward fashion in 1986. Tyson, who concluded his professional career in 2005, boasts a career record of 50 wins and six losses.

It’s worth pointing out that the two fighters have become friends over the years, but there’s no reason why this event can’t be a must watch this year.

A dog survives several days with its head stuck in a bucket

Gracie, a dog from the Stockton area of California, was near a dog shelter when she got her head stuck in a treat bucket for two weeks.

Tara Morrison, who is in charge of the shelter, spotted the bucket on Gracie’s head around the sixth day, but was unable to lure the dog to her in order to extract the admittedly uncomfortable hat.

To successfully capture Gracie, CarolEisenbrandt of Wilton Animal Rescue monitored the dog’s trajectory, and set up two traps along the way. One of the cages contained chicken, which attracted the beast, enabling the rescue to capture it.

The team managed to extort the pot, and following this, the dehydrated and starving dog underwent a few tests to ensure his health. Veterinarian Jeremy Chandler was in charge of giving him a thorough medical examination:

Carol Eisenbrandt was able to track down Gracie’s owner, a woman of no fixed abode, which explains the female’s vagrancy. Gracie’s owner agreed to allow theWilton Animal Rescue team to find a home to provide for the pet.

A crucial Supreme Court victory for Donald Trump

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court handed a significant victory to former President Donald Trump by reinstating his presidential candidacy. This crucial decision nullifies efforts by some states, such as Colorado, Illinois and Maine, to exclude Donald Trump’s name from the ballot due to his involvement in the January 6 Capitol Hill riots perpetrated by his supporters.

At the heart of this legal dispute lies the interpretation of the insurrectionary clause of the 14th Amendment, this constitutional change, adopted following the Civil War, outlaws the eligibility of individuals involved in rebellion. The Colorado Court previously ruled that Trump had encouraged his supporters to attack the Capitol, thus applying the 14th Amendment to prevent a presidential candidate from appearing on the ballot for the first time in history.

The Supreme Court’s unanimous decision emphasized that states cannot use the Insurrection Clause against presidential candidates without direct Congressional approval.

This means that the decision will have implications for similar cases in the future.

The Court was divided on the scope of the decision. A majority of five out of nine justices held that the rule applies across the board, asserting that no state can exclude a candidate for federal office from the ballot. However, four justices felt that the scope of the decision should be limited to the specific case addressed by the Court, rather than applying broadly to all similar cases.

The Supreme Court’s decision comes at a defining moment in the contest for the nomination in several states, where Donald Trump is widely regarded as the leading favorite.

Fans of The Crow not pleased with the Bill Skarsgård version

Bill Skarsgård dons iconic leathers and make-up in the upcoming big-screen adaptation of The Crow. The first images of Skarsgård, famous for his portrayal of Pennywise in It, do not inspire unanimous enthusiasm among fans of The Crow.

The roles of Eric Draven, played by Skarsgard, and Shelly, played by FKA Twigs, tell of a tragic love story that was originally brought to the screen in 1994 with actor Brandon Lee. Sadly, Lee tragically lost his life in a filming accident, bringing an aura of mystery to this new production and perhaps explaining fans’ protective preoccupation with Skarsgard’s interpretation.

The imminent arrival of the first trailer for this reboot will undoubtedly reveal more, arousing both excitement and apprehension among fans of The Crow.

The Crow is scheduled for release on June 7.

So, Bill Skarsgård in The Crow, make or break?

Red Bull shaken by Christian Horner scandal

Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner is facing widespread criticism following allegations of misconduct. A total of 79 emails, including screenshots of alleged WhatsApp conversations between Horner, Liberty Media and an unknown party, have been leaked.

The group includes F1 team officials and media.

The documents reportedly contain explicit material, such as nude photos of an unidentified man, suggestive texts and photos of Horner wearing various outfits. Some of the messages refer to a person called Geri, allegedly an allusion to Horner’s wife Geri Halliwell, who was a member of the Spice Girls.

Horner continues to maintain his innocence, however. He said through a spokeswoman that he respected the integrity and conclusions of an independent investigation, which dismissed all accusations.

Jos Verstappen, Max’s father, publicly called on Horner to resign, saying the controversy could destabilize Red Bull’s environment and its championship wins. The Daily Mail’s publication of his disapproval adds a new layer to the internal dynamics within the organization, as tensions appear to be spreading.

The announcement comes after an internal Red Bull statement exonerating Horner of any misconduct following allegations of inappropriate behavior by an employee. Red Bull Racing has stated publicly that it is confident of the impartiality, fairness and thoroughness of the investigation.

The insistence of Toto Wolff, head of rival team Mercedes F1, which has seen its dominance of the sport diminish due to Red Bull’s recent successes, is another element stirring the pot.

Getty Images

According to rumors, Wolff is even taking advantage of the situation to try and lure Max Verstappen to Mercedes, having lost Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari for next year.

The good news so far is that Geri Horner has publicly declared her support for her husband, and Red Bull’s majority shareholder has also reiterated his allegiance.
