Bob Arum Names Three Fighters Who Can Beat Gervonta Davis

Image
Photo: Bob Arum, Gervonta Davis (Instagram) Gervonta Davis is known for his knockout power. Out of 30 fights, he’s stopped 28 opponents before the final bell. Only two fighters, German Meraz and Isaac Cruz , have gone the distance with him.

LeBron James Supports Son Bronny: 'Ignore The Haters'

Photo: Kevin Durant (Instagram) Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant didn’t hesitate when asked which NFL team he would kick out of the league if he could. During an interview on the "Up & Adams" show with Kay Adams, Durant picked the Dallas Cowboys as the team he would relegate. “I just don’t like them,” Durant said. “I had to ask myself why I don’t like the Cowboys because I don’t hate any teams or players. I’m a fan of a lot of teams, but the Cowboys are the one team I can’t stand.” While the NFL doesn’t have relegation like some soccer leagues, Durant recently bought a minority stake in Paris Saint-Germain , a top French soccer team. He’s familiar with the idea of relegation from his involvement in soccer. Photo: Kevin Durant (Instagram) Durant grew up in Washington, D.C., and has been a longtime fan of the Washington Commanders.
