When Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump confirmed they were a couple, it was a match made in Florida golf heaven.

However, now that the dust has settled and the future looks bright, many within their friend group have been leaking surprising information to gossip outlets. First, there was discussion on a big relationship step. “They’re very serious. Wedding bells serious,” an insider divulged to Page Six, but now it’s speculated that Woods and Vanessa are walking that back a bit, and with financial reasons to support their trepidation.

According to another set of sources that trotted to the Daily Mail, both Vanessa and Woods have baggage from previous divorces that would make it hard to justify a wedding so soon. When Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa got divorced, Vanessa was able to snag quite the hefty alimony settlement. While the official amount she received is under wraps, Celebrity Net Worth does value Vanessa at a cool $75 million, and according to an insider, if Vanessa got remarried, ” … it would just complicate her alimony from Donald [Trump Jr.].”

When Woods divorced his ex-wife Elin Nordegren, she reportedly received $100 million as part of the divorce settlement, which would give anyone pause to hop into another marriage. This could be partially why one of Woods’ friends dished that, “I think it would take a lot to get him to be a groom again.” Although, despite the odds against them, there still seems to be a loyal few willing to root for the couple to eventually walk down the aisle.

Though they both come with their fair share of messiness, Vanessa Trump and Tiger Woods seem to have support for their union from friends and family. Woods and ex-wife Elin Nordegren share a blended family that includes their son Charlie, who is an avid golfer alongside Kai Trump, the eldest daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa. While these similarities are a good start, what really could be keeping the couple afloat, at least in part, is that Kai seemingly approves of her mom and Woods dating. Not only that, but Woods likely has an in with the patriarch of the family, as President Donald Trump and Woods have their own unique relationship.

Even with all this going for them, it seems that Vanessa and Woods really value getting to know each other out of the spotlight. In a somewhat lopsided move, when Woods announced on Instagram that he and Vanessa were dating, he ended the post with a plea for peace and quiet, stating, “At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.” It makes sense that a couple so attached to family drama and chaotic circumstances would like to take it slow and low for a while. Besides, as one of Woods’ friends said to the Daily Mail, “He has been with women for years and not [gotten re-married].” So, perhaps they are just settling in for a long haul instead of a quick walk down the aisle.

 

Following Usyk’s knockout of Daniel Dubois last weekend and a trilogy clash with Tyson Fury reportedly being considered for later in 2025, questions have arisen about the next move concerning his WBO obligation.

WBO to meet over Oleksandr Usyk
Speaking exclusively to World Boxing News, WBO President Gustavo Olivieri confirmed the governing body will now assess the situation.

“The Committee will convene this week to determine the next course of action pertaining to the Mandatory title defense obligation in the heavyweight division,” Olivieri told WBN.

“As to Usyk’s performance last Saturday, he is simply an extraordinary generational talent. But most importantly, he is an exemplary human being.

“Being that the WBO was his first world sanctioning body, it is an honor to have Usyk as our champion inside and outside the ring.”

Who is the WBO heavyweight mandatory challenger?
With Joseph Parker now firmly installed as WBO interim heavyweight champion following his devastating knockout win over Martin Bakole in February 2025, the New Zealander is next in line to challenge Usyk for the full title.

Joseph Parker WBO

Parker’s rise back into contention comes at the perfect time, with the WBO expected to enforce his mandatory status.

Promoter Frank Warren, speaking after Usyk defeated Dubois for the second time at Wembley Stadium on July 19, declared that Parker had “earned his shot” and told WBO, “it’s time” to make the order.

The WBO will make its ruling at this week’s Championship Committee meeting, where the governing body will rule on the mandatory defense timeline.

Usyk, 37, remains the two-time undisputed champion of the four-belt era, but with ongoing talk of a third Fury fight, Parker’s clear waters are muddier.

The WBO could face pressure to balance its legacy with its obligations. Whether the WBO grants an exception or orders the Parker fight is the question.

WBO officials will provide a formal response on the matter by early next week.

Parker entered the ring when Usyk took out Dubois in devastating fashion. However, YouTuber Jake Paul overshadowed his appearance and stopped him from making his point.

It has to be Usyk vs Parker next or the WBO must give the number one heavyweight contender the belt outright. It’s the only decision to make.

Floyd “Money” Mayweather fought an exhibition bout against Logan Paul on June 6, 2021, in Florida.

Since this fight was an exhibition, no winner was crowned; although many were surprised by how Logal Paul did against arguably the best boxer this century (although Paul did have a massive size advantage over him).

While Mayweather fought Logan that night, he was actually beefing with his younger brother, Jake, because Jake had stolen his hat during a press conference in the lead-up to that showdown. While Jake thought he was playing a funny prank, Mayweather and his team did not find it funny at all, and there was some serious bad blood between them as a result.

In fact, Paul had to run away from Mayweather and at least a dozen members of his team back in 2023 when they confronted him outside of a Miami Heat game. This made it clear to the world that this beef between them was no joke, and hadn’t simmered down despite the hat-stealing incident taking place about two years prior.

Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather End Beef, Buddy Up in France

However, it now seems that any beef between Jake Paul and Mayweather is in the past, as an X video of them hanging out in France together is surfacing on social media on July 23.

The Most Valuable Promotions’ X account (which Paul is a co-founder and owner of) posted a video of Paul and Mayweather whispering to each other, then seemingly turning around and taking in a view of France’s countryside together. The post was captioned, “Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather link up in France‼️👀”.

Jake Paul has mentioned wanting to Floyd Mayweather in the past. Perhaps this meeting is the first step towards that actually taking place.

After winning 23 Grand Slam titles in the tennis world, Serena Williams has an amazing figure.

And a recent Instagram post of hers proves it. Serena recently enjoyed time on a boat with her girlfriends. For the day, she chose a powder blue bikini and wrap, which showed off her figure. Serena captioned the post, “Me and my girls… are out in the streets tonight. But we starting here.” Here are 5 of Serena Williams’ diet and exercise secrets.

She Tracks Her Glucose

https://www.instagram.com/p/DMNfa9rsphS/?img_index=5

In order to improve her diet, Serena uses the Lingo program to track her glucose. She revealed to Yahoo Life that she had to cut some foods out that were spiking her levels. “I generally don’t like syrup, and my body was naturally telling me that. Then watching on my Lingo how my glucose spiked from it, it was just like, no wonder I don’t like it. If I have some sort of aversion to something, maybe there’s a reason that I don’t know. But I feel like with my monitor, I can get that reason.”

She Walks

Serena likes to walk to keep herself in shape. Walking also helps improve her glucose levels. Serena tells Yahoo Life that she started walking a lot more after using the Lingo program. “One thing I found really interesting is that a 10-minute walk can really flatten or lower your glucose spike. It just sends you [a notification], like, ‘Go for a walk’ or ‘Stand up.’”

She Keeps Healthy Food In Her Fridge

Serena makes sure to eat a healthy diet. She also makes sure to keep healthy food in her kitchen. Serena shared some of her go-to foods in an interview with Bon Appetit. “My fridge is really just vegan: coconut water, Gatorade (my favorite!), cucumbers, mint, kale, vegetables, ginger, and wheat grass.”

She Mostly Eats A Vegan Diet

Serena mostly eats a vegan diet. “When I don’t eat healthy, I just feel terrible–to be honest, I feel like I almost have pain,” Serena explains to Vogue. “So now, I eat vegan about six days out of the week. And then if I want, like, some eggs or something, I do that on the seventh day. That said, I was at the fair the other day and they had donut burgers, which I’ve never had in my life. I actually don’t like the taste of beef, so I generally don’t eat it–like, ever. But I was like, ‘You know what, you live once. I’m just going to try this thing!’”

She Loves Cardio

Serena does a lot of cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. “I do the cardio exercises on Tonal,” she says in her Vogue interview. “Which is really helpful for me just to get my body back and used to calisthenics. I don’t necessarily want a trainer in my room or in the gym with me, so just having the Tonal trainers is a relief. It’s just something different from what I’ve been doing for the past 20-plus years, and it’s refreshing.

The ongoing feud between Roy Jones Jr and Floyd Mayweather has continued to heat up.

The legendary duo have been going back and forth across social media in recent weeks, sparking rumours that they could end up facing each other in the ring at some point in the near future.

Mayweather has not fought as a professional since August 2017 when he defeated MMA fighter Conor McGregor in their monumental crossover bout. The 48-year-old from Michigan has made returns to the ring on a handful of occasions in exhibition contests, facing the likes of Logan Paul and Tenshin Nasukawa.

As for Jones, the 56-year-old’s last ring appearance came against Anthony ‘Showtime’ Pettis, as he suffered a majority decision defeat to the former MMA star. Jones has left the door open for a return to the ring since then, although this has yet to come to fruition.

In an interview with Plejmo, Jones sent a scathing message to Mayweather, accusing the five-division world champion of ducking three fighters during his career: Amir Khan, Terence Crawford and a prime Manny Pacquiao.

“If you fight everybody you’re going to fight someone who is going to give you a hard time, you did not fight Amir Khan. Terence Crawford is three years older than Canelo, but you never fought Terence. Terence has been on top for the last 20 years, but you never fought Terence.

“He should have fought Manny Pacquiao when he was at his peak three years before they fought, he waited for Marquez to knock him out. Then you fought him, so you ain’t fighting the prime Manny.

“I should have never fought again after I came back down from heavyweight. We lost 25 pounds and I’m not ducking anybody, but then anything might happen when you fight anybody, any way, any time. But when you don’t do that – I’m not saying that’s not smart for him not to do that – that is probably why they consider him one of the best ever, which is cool, but they don’t know no better.”

Jones recently expressed his interest in a clash with Mayweather, but claimed he is only interested in facing the former pound-for-pound star in an officially sanctioned bout, rather than an exhibition contest.

Turki Alalshikh wants to see a cross-generational clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Moses Itauma next.

The Ukrainian slickster regained his undisputed heavyweight crown on Saturday night by stopping Daniel Dubois in the fifth round at Wembley Stadium.

Usyk has now cleared out the top three heavyweights of his generation (Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Dubois) twice and isn’t left with many worthy challengers to face.

The obvious choice would be WBO interim champion Joseph Parker, whom ‘The Cat’ is expected to be ordered to face next.

If Usyk decides to go down a different route for what is expected to be his final fight, then he will almost certainly be stripped of his WBO belt, while Parker will be elevated to full champion.

If Alalshikh gets his way, then this exact process could play out.

“I want to see Usyk against Itauma,” tweeted Alalshikh in the aftermath of Usyk’s masterclass in London. “This is the fight.”

Itauma is currently ranked within the top 10 by all four major sanctioning bodies, and currently occupies No.1 spot with the WBO.

The Chatham southpaw has turned his head during a perfect 12-0 start to life in the paid ranks and is being branded a world champion in waiting by many prominent members of the media.

Usyk is also an admirer of the 20-year-old and tipped him to succeed him as the next heavyweight king during an exclusive interview with talkSPORT.com.

“Moses Itauma, I think, is a great fighter,” he said.

“Young. 20 years old. I think Itauma has a big future.”

Itauma is yet to face an opponent of truly elite quality, although he is set to take a big step up in competition on August 17 against Dillian Whyte.

Provided he comes through that fight unscathed, he could logically face Usyk sometime next year depending on when the pound-for-pound king decides to return to the ring.

“Nothing is next,” Usyk said after his most recent outing. “It’s enough, next, I don’t know. I want to rest.

“My family, my wife, my children, I want to rest now. Two or three months, I want to just rest.

“[Then] maybe it’s Tyson Fury. Maybe we have three choices: Derek Chisora and Anthony Joshua. Maybe Joseph Parker.

“Listen, I cannot now say because I want to go back home.”

Terence Crawford’s latest training footage has raised concerns among fans who feel the added weight may be slowing him down ahead of his September 13 bout with Canelo Alvarez.

Crawford will jump two weight classes to challenge for the undisputed super middleweight title in what is only his second fight above 147. After beating Israil Madrimov at 154 pounds, Crawford now prepares to fight at 168 — a division where Canelo has reigned supreme, having become undisputed on two occasions. Crawford showed in the Madrimov fight that he could be hurt, with some even feeling Bud lost the fight. Similar power shots from Canelo could cause extensive damage.

Reports indicate Crawford has bulked up from 155 to 186 pounds during camp, with a focus on resistance training and eating more. While that may help with size and power, fans have noticed a drop in speed and sharpness in recent footage. The following clip shows Crawford in the gym, as the American has bulked up.

Reaction

Roy Jones Jr. has previously spoken about the weight issue. Jermell Charlo tried and failed to beat Canelo Alvarez in 2023, coming up short on the scorecards when he jumped up from 154 pounds. Charlo, unlike Crawford, had boxed mostly at 154. Jones Jr. gave his take ahead of the Canelo fight, saying he expects Alvarez to control the action. However, he believes Crawford has a real shot — but only if he dominates the center of the ring and forces the pace. Interestingly, Jones did not see weight being the issue.

“The weight won’t be the factor, the factor will be how Canelo chooses to make the fight. Canelo comes out and does what Canelo should do, Canelo wins the fight. If Canelo comes out and does what he shouldn’t do, Crawford wins the fight (Crawford must) control the center of the ring. If Crawford is allowed to control the center, he’ll win,” Jones said 

There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding Tiger Woods’ relationship with Vanessa Trump and the rumor that they are going to get engaged soon. Now, insiders close to the professional golfer are putting the brakes on that tea.

The source told the Daily Mail that there’s a solid reason for both Woods and Vanessa to put the marriage talk on ice. “Cynically, why should she get married? There’s no point of it, and it would just complicate her alimony from Donald [Trump Jr.],” the insider claimed. “And Tiger, of course, paid out a lot in his divorce from Elin [Nordegren], and I don’t think he’s particularly excited to do that again.”

Vanessa shares five children with Donald Jr.: Kai, 18, Donald III, 16, Tristan, 13, Spencer, 12, and Chloe, 11. Her settlement with Donald Trump’s eldest son is unknown, but Celebrity Net Worth estimates her fortune to be in the $75 million neighborhood.

Woods, who shares daughter Sam, 18, and son Charlie, 16, with Nordegren, paid out a reported tidy sum of $100 million in their 2010 divorce. “If you know Tiger, you know that he’s not the type to just get married at the drop of a hat,” added the source. “He has been with women for years and not done that. I think it would take a lot to get him to be a groom again.”

Still, the rumors have been rampant that Vanessa and Woods are fast-tracking their romance. On July 4, Page Six noted that Vanessa’s pals were sharing that the dynamic duo was “wedding bells serious” in their relationship. There is no engagement news to share so far, but the mom of five is reportedly head over heels for the golf legend.

“She’s so happy! She’s finally found happiness. She’s found happiness for the first time in her life,” they gushed.

Woods and Vanessa prefer their privacy and have bonded over their children’s love of golf — Woods’ son Charlie is following in his father’s footsteps, and her daughter Kai is committed to the University of Miami to play golf in the fall of 2026.

Neither of them has made any comment about their blossoming love, but Woods did post an uncharacteristically personal note on his Instagram page on March 23.

“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side,” he wrote in the caption alongside two loving snapshots with Vanessa. “We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time, we would appreciate privacy to all those close to our hearts.”

Rory McIlroy has often expressed gratitude to his wife for her support during the ups and downs of his golf career. 

After a disappointing Open Championship in 2022, the Northern Irishman shared how he sat with a bottle of wine and vented to Erica Stoll, appreciating her for just “sitting there and listening to it” as he lamented his missed chances.

This week presents another opportunity for McIlroy with The Open being held in his home country at Royal Portrush. He’s among many contenders, including defending champion Xander Schauffele, Scottie Scheffler, and good pal Shane Lowry, but the 36-year-old might channel his frustration from three years prior to fuel his pursuit of triumph.

In April, McIlroy etched his name into the history books at the Masters by sinking a playoff putt against Justin Rose, becoming the sixth golfer—and the first European—to achieve the career Grand Slam in golf.

He joined the ranks of legends like Tiger Woods, Gary Player, and Jack Nicklaus, having secured all four major titles, with his most recent significant victory before that being over a decade ago in 2014.

That year, McIlroy clinched both the PGA Championship and The Open, yet it wasn’t until 2025 that he topped the leaderboard at another major.

McIlroy has faced his fair share of ups and downs on the course, with setbacks often igniting a golfer’s drive for triumph.

The sting of his near-miss at the 2022 Open Championship might just be the spark he needs to conquer Royal Portrush, and the unwavering support from his wife could prove to be an additional boost.

In a heartfelt chat with the Irish Independent back in 2022, McIlroy opened up about how he leaned on his wife after falling short by a mere two strokes, finishing 18-under-par while Cameron Smith clinched the title at 20-under. Post-tournament, McIlroy found solace in his hotel room, pouring out his frustrations to his wife.

The reigning Masters champ recounted: “I’m sure there was a bit of, ‘I don’t feel like I did that much wrong.’ Because at that point you start to think about things, ‘I could have got it up-and-down on 3. I should have made a birdie on 9. I should have made a birdie on 12.’

“You know, all the s— Erica just doesn’t want to hear. But I give her credit for sitting there and listening to it. I’m sure we tried to watch something on TV to get away from it.”

He further reflected: “It’s our life and how we live, but most of our conversations don’t revolve around golf, or what I want to win, but this was different.

“And it’s amazing because you have the first major of the year, and the last major of the year, with basically the same outcome – second at the Masters, third at the Open – and two completely different reactions.

“And yeah, I mean, what can you say to someone in that position, you know? Erica didn’t need to say anything, she just needed to [be there].”

McIlroy is setting his sights on a different ending for this year’s Open Championship, aiming to hoist the Claret Jug triumphantly alongside his wife Erica and daughter Poppy, rather than revisiting past near-misses.

Less than six weeks before the curtains rise on tennis’s final Grand Slam of the year, Serena Williams has ignited renewed speculation about a possible return at Flushing Meadows.

On July 18, the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion dropped an Instagram reel featuring her back on court, accompanied by a simple cartoon and the words “Still Serena.”

Instantly, fans flooded the comment section, turning a brief post into a viral sensation.

Serena Williams returns for US Open warm-up amid tennis chaos

Williams, now 43, stepped away from professional tennis in September 2022, citing an “evolution” beyond the tour.

Despite that farewell, she has never fully embraced the term “retirement.” Her approach to stepping back was more about growth than goodbye. Retirement, she once admitted, wasn’t a word she embraced.

Yet, with the U.S. Open approaching from September 1-14 at Flushing Meadows, even a fleeting Instagram tease can spark wild speculation.

In the reel, Williams looks sharp, fluid in her movements, and at ease returning serve. Overlaying the video is the chorus from Dr. Dre’s “Still D.R.E.,” a track epitomizing resilience.

A pivotal question echoes: could Williams truly return to compete in one of tennis’s toughest Slams? Critics point to her age and long absence from top-tier competition.

But dismissing her outright would ignore her tenacity. She last lifted the U.S. Open singles trophy in 2014 and remains a sixtime champion on the hard courts of New York.

Her comeback in 2022, though brief, produced four major finals, proof that competitive fire still blazes.

Serena’s legacy and US Open prospects

Her record is nothing short of legendary. Turning pro in 1995, Williams climbed to world No. 1 by July 2002, a ranking she held for 319 weeks.

Her Open Era dominance includes 23 Grand Slam singles titles, more than any other player, male or female, in modern history.

At the U.S. Open alone, she stands supreme: winner in 1999, 2002, 2008, 2012, 2013, and 2014. Even in her early 40s, Williams has shown the skill to press fast and shape rallies, vital elements on New York’s unforgiving hard courts.

Nevertheless, the depth of the current field isn’t trivial. The likes of Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka loom large, while American stars such as Coco Gauff, Madison Keys, Emma Navarro, and Jessica Pegula add to the homecourt challenge.

Even so, Williams’s aura and competitive instinct could compress any draw.

Echoes from commentators and former players have started surfacing.

Though Williamshasn’t confirmed any official plans, this post, short, tantalizing, and timed so close to the commencement of the U.S. Open, is enough to keep speculation alive.
