Canelo Álvarez breaks his silence and addresses rumors of a split with Eddy Reynoso

Over the past few days, rumors had surfaced suggesting that Canelo Álvarez had split from his longtime trainer, Eddy Reynoso.

To address the speculation, the Mexican boxing star broke his silence on social media with a clear message meant to put the doubts to rest: “Thank you for everything,” he wrote.

Canelo Álvarez’s Message to Eddy Reynoso

Determined to end the growing speculation surrounding his relationship with Reynoso — one that spans many years — Canelo shared a post today featuring two photos of himself alongside his trainer to wish him a happy birthday.

The message accompanying the post was brief but powerful, and many saw it as a reaffirmation of the bond between the two:

“Happy birthday, apá. Wishing you many, many more. I love you so much — thank you for everything, always.”

With this post, Canelo Álvarez indirectly confirmed that he will continue working with Eddy Reynoso in preparation for his upcoming fights — a significant clarification given that the Guadalajara-born fighter still has several bouts lined up for 2026.

A Show of Unity After a Tough Loss

The message comes on the heels of Canelo’s unexpected defeat to Terence Crawford, a result that left many fans and analysts stunned and put the Mexican champion in a challenging position looking ahead.

Despite the speculation, his relationship with Reynoso appears solid — at least judging by this public gesture.

Just days before this post, Canelo had shared another video on social media showing Reynoso and other close friends congratulating him on his 20-year boxing career.

“How’s it going, my champ? Congratulations on these 20 historic years. It’s truly been an honor to share so many of them with you — and the ones still to come. Keep going, my champion! There are a lot of people here who love you and are proud of everything you’ve achieved in the ring,” Reynoso said, reaffirming his loyalty and support for the boxer as they look ahead to the next chapter together.

Jake Paul Hints at Turki Alalshikh Change of Heart on Canelo Alvarez Fight

By

Ever since news broke that Jake Paul’s November 14 bout against Gervonta “Tank” Davis was cancelled due to a domestic violence lawsuit filed against Davis at the end of October, Paul has been scrambling to find a new opponent.

Paul’s team has made it clear that, while the initial November 14 date is now off the table, they still fully intend for Paul to headline a Netflix card by the end of 2025. December 12 and December 19 appear to be the most likely dates for this fight to take place.

However, given the high standard Netflix has set with its previous boxing events, they aren’t going to settle for Paul fighting against some no-name boxer. This is why Paul has reportedly reached out to several of the sport’s biggest names to see if they’d be willing to face him next month. These include Terence Crawford, Ryan Garcia, Francis Ngannou, and MMA legend Nate Diaz. I

It’s too early to tell which (if any) of these guys will sign up to fight Paul and whether they’d do so in December. But one can’t fault Paul for trying.

Jake Paul’s Stance on Potential Canelo Alvarez Fight Turns Heads

It was interesting to see that Paul didn’t reportedly reach out to Canelo Alvarez’s team to potentially fill in. Then again, not only is Canelo still on the mend from elbow surgery after his September loss to Terence Crawford, but he and Paul were deep in fight negotiations earlier this year before Canelo pivoted at the last minute and signed a four-fight deal with Turki Alalshikh instead.

Turki was very opposed to Canelo fighting Paul as one of those four fights, which is why Canelo pivoted. However, a comment Paul made about potentially facing Canelo in the future from a November 6 ESPN article suggests Turki Alalshikh might have changed his mind.

“I think Turki is the man who can make it happen,” Paul said of fighting Canelo. “I’m open to it, Turki has expressed some interest in it, and, obviously, Canelo had already signed up to fight me, so I think all that is left to do is to make it happen.”

Canelo vs Crawford

The fact that Turki “has expressed some interest” in making this fight happen is a complete change of heart compared to how he felt about Paul vs. Canelo (and Paul in general) earlier this year.

Paul is right in saying that Turki has more than enough influence to make this fight happen, which means this once nearly-finalized fight could come to fruition as soon as 2026.

Anthony Joshua has major roadblock cleared for blockbuster fight as ban lifted

Ghana’s National Sports Authority has lifted its nationwide professional boxing ban, in a boost to Anthony Joshua.

The NSA suspended the sport after the deaths of two pugilists in the space of six months.

In March, Nigeria’s Gabriel Oluwasegun Olanrewaju collapsed mid-way through his bout with Jon Mbanugu at Bukom Boxing Arena in the Ghanaian capital of Accra before later dying in hospital at the age of 40.

READ: Boxing Update: Anthony Joshua Now In Discussions For Mega Figh

Then, in September, 27-year-old hometown fighter Ernest Akushey passed away after a stoppage loss to Jacob Dickson in the same venue.

The NSA didn’t make the decision lightly and did so in order to come up with a new set of reforms to improve the safety of the national sport.

After much deliberation, the NSA confirmed on Thursday that all boxing activities are now permitted to resume following ‘significant progress in addressing the key issues that led to its suspension.’

The statement also read that: “The Authority looks forward to a vibrant return of professional boxing and also encourages local as well as foreign promoters – investors to bring international bouts and collaborations to Ghana under these enhanced standards.”

What does this mean for Anthony Joshua?

Amidst the ban, Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing announced its first show in West Africa on December 20, headlined by a light heavyweight clash between Craig Richards and Dan Azeez.

The British compatriots are set to meet at the Legom Sports Stadium in Accra, Ghana, in an event that Hearn has described as a crucial ‘precursor’ for a potential AJ fight in the same city in February.

Joshua hasn’t set foot in the ring since his crushing knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024.

He was initially expected to fight again in the second quarter of 2025, but surgery on a lingering elbow injury delayed his return.

Hearn recently declared that Joshua could launch a comeback at the back end of this year on the undercard of one of Matchroom’s remaining shows.

At the time of writing, there are eight separate events that Matchroom is either promoting or co-promoting before the end of 2025.

The biggest of these is the Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn rematch on November 15 in London, which seems extremely unlikely due to the tight timeframe.

Jesse Rodriguez is also set to square off against Fernando Martinez in a super flyweight unification on the RING IV bill on November 22, while Ben Whittaker tops a homecoming card on November 29.

Other events include Jai Opetaia vs Huseyin Cinkara and Shabaz Masoud vs Peter McGrail on December 6, Diego Pacheco vs Kevin Sadjo on December 13, Giorgio Visoli vs Joe Haworth on December 17, and Richards vs Azeez on December 20.

The final major show of the year is Ring V on December 27, headlined by Naoya Inoue vs Alan Picasso.

However, Matchroom is not listed as a promoter, even though it is advertised on their website.

Ryder Cup treatment: Rory McIlroy reveals he and wife Erica recei

By
Rory McIlroy Erica Stoll

Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy has disclosed that he received a personal letter of contrition from Derek Sprague, the PGA of America’s chief executive, following distressing incidents during Europe’s triumph at the Ryder Cup in New York.

The four-time major champion and his spouse Erica endured hostile treatment from spectators at Bethpage Black, with one supporter hurling a beer that struck Mrs McIlroy’s headwear.

Speaking whilst preparing for the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, McIlroy characterised the correspondence as a “lovely letter” that demonstrated genuine remorse for the unsavoury episodes.

The incidents occurred as Europe successfully defended their lead against a spirited American resurgence in the final session of the competition.

The golfer revealed to BBC Sport that Sprague’s electronic correspondence was particularly meaningful given their existing relationship.

“Erica worked with Derek at the PGA of America back in the day, so we know Derek and his wife pretty well,” McIlroy explained.

The Northern Irishman emphasised the sincerity of the message, stating: “He couldn’t have been more gracious or apologetic and he wrote us a lovely letter, which we really appreciated.”

This personal connection between the McIlroys and Sprague added weight to the apology, transforming what might have been a perfunctory gesture into a genuine expression of regret for the troubling behaviour witnessed during the competition.

The hostile atmosphere at Bethpage Black saw Luke Donald’s squad subjected to sustained verbal attacks throughout the three-day contest.Rory McIlroy, Erica Stoll

American supporters particularly focused their ire on McIlroy, who later remarked: “I take it as a compliment that they targeted me, but then at the same time, it was a tough week.”

Despite Europe entering the final day with a commanding 12-5 advantage, the home crowd’s fervour intensified as their team mounted a singles comeback that ultimately fell short at 15-13.

American captain Keegan Bradley declined to criticise what he termed “passionate” supporters.

McIlroy, however, believed the antagonistic environment had paradoxically strengthened European resolve: “That made us better as a team. It galvanised us and it really put our arms around each other.”

McIlroy had previously articulated his disappointment with the crowd’s conduct, asserting: “I don’t think we should ever accept that in golf.

“I think golf should be held to a higher standard than what was seen out there this week.”

The 36-year-old emphasised the sport’s unique values, declaring that golf “teaches you etiquette” and “how to respect people,” qualities he felt were absent during portions of the competition.

Now focused on concluding an exceptional campaign, McIlroy reflected on his achievements since January, including victories at the Masters, Players Championship, Pebble Beach Pro-Am and Irish Open.

“Honestly, in my wildest dreams, I didn’t know. I mean, I knew a year like this was possible, but it has just been an amazing 10 months,” he remarked.

What Phil Mickelson claimed modern players simply do not understand about Tiger Woods

By
Phil Mickelson Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods’ 2000 season is the benchmark that we measure golfing greatness against. 

Scottie Scheffler faced constant comparisons to Woods’ 2000 season this year, which was regarded as the greatest compliment a player can receive.

In 2000, Woods won in nine of his 20 starts and came runner-up four times. That means he finished first or second in 65% of his starts. He won three major championships and went on to complete the “Tiger Slam” in 2001, when he held all four majors simultaneously.

It’s hard to fathom that level of greatness 25 years on. That’s why Scottie Scheffler called the comparisons to Woods “silly.”

And while we can appreciate those eye-popping numbers today, players such as Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els suffered at the hands of Woods’ success.

Phil Mickelson says what ‘sucked’ about playing against Tiger Woods

Mickelson was one of many players who played second fiddle to Woods during his prime. He didn’t win a major in 2000 and 2001 in large part thanks to Woods.

Speaking in 2018, Mickelson said Woods’ 2000 season is something that can never be replicated, and named the 2000 US Open as the highest level anyone has achieved in the sport.

Woods won that tournament by a record 15 strokes at Pebble Beach in the most dominating performance in major championship history.

Mickelson said, “I don’t think anybody today who wasn’t there to witness it, and I don’t think anybody before, will ever see that level of play again.

“It was the most remarkable golf in the history of the game, and I think unrepeatable. I think it was that good. I look at 2000 as being kind of the benchmark at the U.S. Open and being the greatest golf I’ve ever witnessed, and I believe has ever been played.

“And it sucked to have to play against him. It really did. You look at it and say, ‘How am I going to beat this?’ There was a stretch there for a number of years that it was so impressive that it was hard to imagine that it was actually happening, that he was hitting some of the shots that he was hitting and playing that well.

“The guys today look back and they say, ‘Come on, how much better could he have been?’ and so forth. And it goes to show you that they weren’t there to witness it.”

Incredible Tiger Woods stats show how dominant he really was

Woods recently underwent yet another back surgery to rule him out of competitive action for the foreseeable future. Now that the greatest golfer of all time is in the twilight of his career, it’s easy to forget just how dominant he really was.

Between 1999 and 2004, Woods spent 264 consecutive weeks as world number one. He made 142 consecutive cuts between 1998 and 2005, and won 65 times between 1996 and 2008. That’s more than any other golfer in the same period, by over 30 wins.

Woods is the only player to win all four Majors by at least five strokes. He won The Masters and the US Open by a record margin, and was the youngest player ever to achieve the career Grand Slam.

There’s an endless amount of stats to demonstrate Woods’ dominance. So much so that you can get numb to them. But what really brings the point home is hearing how the all-time greats, like Mickelson, explain how \much better than them Woods really was.\

Anthony Joshua Calls Out Next Opponent: “Tell Me Where

Anthony Joshua Calls Out Next Opponent: “Tell Me Where and When — I’m Ready Before Year’s End!”

The heavyweight division continues to await the return of Anthony Joshua and there is one fighter whom ‘AJ’ seems happy to face before the end of the year.

Joshua’s most recent outing came in an unsuccessful challenge for Daniel Dubois’ IBF world title last September at Wembley Stadium, where he was stopped after five brutal rounds against his fellow Briton.

Since then, Dubois has lost that belt to Oleksandr Usyk, whilst AJ has been sidelined through injury and underwent elbow surgery before returning to training in September.

Now, there are reports that Joshua could attempt to shake off 15 months’ worth of ring rust on an undercard before 2025 comes to a close, with the Pacheco-Sadjo (Dec. 13) and Inoue-Picasso (Dec. 27) shows being touted for his potential return.

Yet, speaking with iFL TV, Eddie Hearn, promoter of Joshua, revealed that AJ is willing to replace Gervonta Davis and fight Jake Paul next month.

Deontay Wilder 

“There would have to be a lot of things that fall into place, but it is possible [that Joshua fights Jake Paul next].

“Yes, I have spoken to Nakisa Bidarian [Paul’s advisor], we have talked over it and around it. I know the situation.

“Yes, [I have spoken to Joshua about it]. [He said], ‘just let me know where and when’.”

Paul is expected to fight in December, with Andre Ward and Nate Diaz also being considered as possible late-notice opponents after the clash with Davis was cancelled due to ‘Tank’ being involved in a civil lawsuit regarding domestic allegations.

Terence Crawford has made it clear – he has no plans

Terence Crawford

Terence Crawford has made it clear – he has no plans to give Canelo Alvarez a rematch.

Since September 13, 2025, Terence Crawford has been celebrating. After defeating Canelo, the Nebraska boxer is enjoying that victory, which also has an impact on the mystery of his next fight. So far, there are no clues of a short-term fight.

Boxing fans and aficionados are wondering whether the super middleweight world champion will apply the same tactic he carries out between fights: to remain inactive for a year. The intrigue stems from the interest they have in seeing him in action to defend his belts before September 28, 2026, when he turns 39.

Journalist Chris Mannix posted on his X account that “Crawford is aiming for his next event in March”. However, the information he provides does not specify any source. It is a possibility that remains a rumor. Likewise, if this were the case, the option of Canelo as an opponent would be ruled out, this is because the Mexican pugilist will return to the ring in the first days of May. This leaves the question in the air: When will Crawford put on the gloves again? Against whom?

Turki Alalshikh will not take risks with Terence Crawford and a filler fight

One of the names that has been mentioned in the rumor mill about a possible fight for Crawford in March is that of influential Saudi promoter Turki Alalshikh. The businessman is key to understanding that the boxer would not consider returning for that month, because the Arab would not be willing to pay between 20 and 50 million dollars for an exhibition fight. In the best case scenario, Turki would prefer to be patient for a rematch with Canelo rather than gamble on a hasty bout against an unworthy opponent.

Cuban Osleys Iglesias and Cameroonian-Canadian Christian Mbilli are two boxers who have been put on the radar of fans and experts to face Crawford, but they would be ruled out as options because they represent a danger to the champion.

Crawford and his team’s goal is to position themselves as one of the best of all time. Measuring himself against Iglesias or Mbilli could be counterproductive to that goal because both are considered young fighters with the ability to defeat the monarch.

“History in the making” Charlie Woods Earns Major AJGA Honor After Standout Season

Charlie Woods’s impressive run on the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) tour continues to turn heads. On Wednesday, the AJGA announced its 2025 Rolex Junior All-America Teams — and Woods earned a coveted spot among the nation’s best.

The young golfer was named to the AJGA’s First Team All-America, one of only 12 players to receive the honor. Currently ranked No. 9 in the AJGA standings, Woods competed in six events this season.

A member of the Class of 2027, Woods claimed victory at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in May, finishing 15-under par — three strokes clear of the field.

His season had its ups and downs, showcasing both growth and resilience. He opened the year with a tie for 52nd at the Dustin Johnson World Junior Championship, followed by a T-25 at the Junior Invitational. A rough week at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship saw him finish T-196, but he rebounded quickly with a T-9 finish at the Boys Junior PGA Championship. Then, in August, he thrilled fans by making a hole-in-one at the Junior Players Championship, ultimately finishing T-31. Not bad for a 16-year-old carving his own path in the game.

All eyes will be on Woods next year as the son of Tiger Woods is expected to make his college commitment — a decision the golf world will be watching closely.

Meanwhile, golf tech company Full Swing raised eyebrows with its first-ever “Ultimate Launch Monitor Challenge” — a bold, head-to-head test of launch monitor accuracy. The event showcased the company’s new KIT Launch Monitor, co-designed by Tiger Woods himself.

Tiger Woods

Held at the massive Oceanside Sports Complex in California — a 52-acre facility usually reserved for soccer — Full Swing built a temporary driving range to compare its KIT directly against two industry heavyweights: the Trackman 4 and Foresight GCQuad.

With media members and golf influencers on hand, each shot’s actual distance was measured manually by spotters using rangefinders and compared against what each device recorded. The testing conditions were strict — every device ran the latest software, and all shots were hit with Titleist Pro V1x balls for consistency.

The event stood out because it’s rare for a company to publicly pit its product against rivals in real-world testing. Considering the Full Swing KIT retails for $4,999 (compared to $25,000 for Trackman 4 and $18,000 for GCQuad), the move was gutsy — and eye-opening.

The Full Swing KIT, developed in collaboration with Tiger Woods, uses Doppler radar technology to track 16 performance metrics while also recording high-resolution video of every swing. Its new Full Swing Combine, powered by Clippd AI, offers a “shot quality” score — giving golfers instant, intuitive feedback rather than overwhelming data points.

With its blend of pro-level accuracy and accessibility, Full Swing is positioning the KIT as the most complete and affordable launch monitor for serious players — amateurs and pros alike.

Terence Crawford’s new venture proves he’s racking up victories beyond the ring as well.

Following his September 13 win against Canelo Alvarez, Terence Crawford has become one of the biggest superstars in boxing. Considering Canelo is considered the face of boxing, that isn’t surprising.

Crawford made history last month, becoming the first male boxer to win the undisputed title in three different weight classes. The 38-year-old has a lot of options open to him inside the ring now, including a possible Canelo rematch.

Outside the ring, Crawford’s stock is also rising, and he’s now been seen rubbing shoulders with stars outside of the sport. And in his latest opportunity outside the ring, Crawford has now kicked off his modeling career.

Terence Crawford’s new modeling career

Terence Crawford has been featured by Haute Living, a luxury website and magazine, modeling some costly Ulysse Nardin watches, which can cost from the tens to the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

tbudcrawford is the only male fighter in history to become a three time undisputed champion across five weight divisions, a legacy defined by discipline, strategy, and undeniable greatness.

Crawford has been fighting at the world championship level for the majority of his career and boasts an undefeated record of 42-0-0 with 31 knockout wins. Apart from being undisputed in three weight classes, he is a five-division world champion.

Deontay Wilder 

However, he has never received the recognition that he’s getting now, with his reach now expanding beyond the boxing ring and into the mainstream.

Crawford was also featured in a separate Instagram post playing a game of ‘Haute or Not’.

Terence Crawford reflects on Canelo Alvarez win

In his legendary career, one thing Crawford has never lacked is confidence. The same was the case for his win against Canelo on September 13. Being well prepared, ‘Bud’ was fully confident in his ability, despite the naysayers pointing out his two-weight division jump as an issue. He said:

I was confident one thousand percent. Everybody who didn’t believe in me was surprised. I wasn’t. I’d been telling people what was going to happen from the moment the fight got signed.”

Despite all the glitter and glory, Crawford remains grounded. There’s nothing concrete regarding his next career move yet. However, reports suggest that he is aiming for a March return, with the middleweight division in Crawford’s sight.

While moving up to super middleweight from 154 pounds, he skipped over 154. Winning world titles in that division would further seal him as one of the best to lace up a pair of gloves.

With “Accolade” Tiger Woods’ son, Charlie, continues the family legacy with a prestigious golf accolade.

Tiger Woods: Charlie Woods has now earned a prestigious honor alongside his famous father, Tiger Woods, after receiving a major junior golf recognition this week.

At 16, Charlie, the son of Tiger and his ex-wife Elin Nordegren, was named a first-team All-American by the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) on Wednesday.

A high school junior at the prestigious Benjamin School, Charlie was one of 12 boys selected for the AJGA’s annual first-team list.

This accolade caps off an impressive year for Charlie, who claimed his first major title at the Team TaylorMade Invitational in May.

He also qualified for the U.S. Junior Amateur for the second consecutive year in July and finished tied for ninth at the Junior PGA Championship the following month.

With this recognition, Charlie continues to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father. Tiger Woods, who was named to the first-team All-American list in all four years of high school, set a similar path before going on to dominate the professional game.

Tiger Woods

In 1991 and 1992, Tiger was also named the AJGA’s Player of the Year in back-to-back years, a feat matched this year by 17-year-old Miles Russell. Russell, an alternate for the Walker Cup this summer, was named Player of the Year again by the AJGA.

Meanwhile, Cameron Kuchar, son of pro golfer Matt Kuchar, earned a spot on the second team, joining Mason Howell, who won the U.S. Amateur and competed in the Walker Cup.

Aphrodite Deng, a Canadian living in New Jersey, was named Player of the Year in the girls’ division after winning the U.S. Girls Junior and two other major AJGA events this year.

The teams were determined based on the Rolex AJGA Rankings as of October 14.

Charlie’s year has been marked by hard work both on and off the course. His high school coach, Toby Harbeck, highlighted Charlie’s dedication, including a significant 10-pound weight loss.

“Charlie knows the attention is on him, but he knows how to handle it and not put himself in uncomfortable situations,” said Harbeck, who also coached Jack Nicklaus’ sons. “His teammates are very protective of him. He’s come a long way in two years, and he’s ready to take on that No. 1 role.”

Charlie is currently in his junior year at the exclusive $37k-a-year Benjamin School in Palm Beach, where Kai Trump, the granddaughter of President Donald Trump, is also a senior. Earlier this year, Tiger Woods went public with his relationship with Kai’s mother, Vanessa, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr.

Tiger Woods has been a regular presence at Charlie’s tournaments, often attending with his ex-wife Elin. Harbeck noted, “When Tiger and Elin show up to watch, Tiger is a different person than what you see on TV. Just like Jack [Nicklaus] was.”
