OLYMPIC hero Suni Lee has turned heads while posing in a sizzling bikini by the pool on vacation.

The former Simone Biles’ Team USA gymnastics pal has been enjoying some downtime in Bangkok, Thailand, this week.

She has been having a well-earned rest, living a life of luxury with food and drink, along with a few rounds of golf.

The 22-year-old also decided to enjoy some time by the pool, catching rays during her sun-kissed getaway.

Lee clearly has a thing for gold as well, as she was seen wearing a stunning two-piece, matching the Olympic first prize medal.

The gymnast looked radiant in the Blackbough Swim outfit, striking a pose for the camera while donning it.

She also draped herself over a sun-lounger in another white check bikini, while blocking her eyes from the sun.

The artistic all-rounder posted the images to her 3.5 million Instagram followers, which continues to rise with her growing fame.

Lee captioned it with “I love it here”.

And fans went wild for the snaps, flocking to social media to describe the American hero as a “10/10”.

“Somebody call the judges pls. This look’s a 10/10,” one said.

Another added: “hot hot hot.”

A third replied: “Really gorgeous.”

And one added: “This is beautiful.”

A fifth commented: “Pretty as always!”

Lee also hit the golf course on her vacation, posting a video of her hitting the ball down the fairway.

However, even she admitted it isn’t the sport for her after a less than successful drive in the Thai capital.

“Yea imma stick to gymnastics,” she said.

The athlete has two golds, a silver and three bronze medals at the Olympics, which is the pinnacle of her craft.

She won 2020 Olympic all-around gold.

Lee was also the uneven bars bronze winner that year.

She is also the 2024 Olympic all-around and uneven bars bronze medalist.

And she has also won first prize at the World Championships.

Lamont Roach Jr has spoken out after news of Gervonta Davis‘ most recent arrest.

It was reported today that Davis was arrested in Florida on the morning of Friday, July 11 for allegedly assaulting his ex-partner outside her home on June 15. ‘Tank’ is still on a period of probation from a previous hit-and-run incident.

This latest development on the personal life of Davis throws into doubt his boxing future, which was set to continue with a rematch against Roach after their controversial first meeting in March of this year.

Roach, a big betting underdog, put in a stellar performance, trading with ‘Tank’ in an attempt to win his WBA Lightweight World Title. The champion took a knee in the ninth round but was not given a count by the referee. If he was, and the cards remained the same for the other rounds, Roach would have won a decision rather than the majority draw result that saw Davis retain his belt.

Their highly-anticipated rematch had been pencilled in for August 16 but was lacking an official announcement, leading many in the sport to speculate that it would either be pushed or canned entirely.

Roach took to X after news of his rival’s arrest. First, he posted the message, “what I tell y’all?” alongside a video clip accusing Davis of being scared. He former super-featherweight world champion then followed up with:

“In all seriousness hopefully buddy ain’t do that, I don’t wish jail on no n***a, I don’t give a f**k if I don’t like you or not.”

More news on Davis’ situation is expected soon.

Along with being arguably the best fighter on the planet, Oleksandr Usyk is also one of the happiest and most likeable.

The two-weight world champion remains undefeated in the ring. He turned over after taking gold in the London Olympics in 2012, and by 2018 had beaten all comers to become the undisputed cruiserweight champion.

After that, he moved up to the banner division, settled in with wins over the likes of Derek Chisora, then stepped in with two-time unified champion Anthony Joshua.

The Ukrainian was barely troubled across two 12-round fights and came out with three of the four world titles. After a stoppage win over Daniel Dubois in 2023, he beat Tyson Fury in May 2024 to become undisputed at heavyweight, then repeated the result in the rematch last December.

Speaking to DAZN, he was asked about one fighter he really disliked even after the final bell, and did not hesitate to answer.

“My weakness is I love people, I love my opponent. Only one of my opponents I don’t love. It’s Marco Huck. Bad guy, because this man says bad words about my mama. It’s bad.”

Usyk beat Huck in September 2017 in the quarter-final of the World Boxing Super Series to retain his WBO cruiserweight title.

The build-up contained some bad blood between the two men, helping to explain why Usyk may still not be fond of his former rival.

Later this month, the Ukrainian rematches Dubois with all four major belts on the line. Should he win, he will be the first man in boxing history to ever become a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion in the four belt era.

Rory McIlroy has settled into his new Wentworth mansion following a fortnight’s break from competitive golf, revealing how the move from Florida has provided welcome detachment from the sport’s relentless schedule.

The four-time major winner returned to England several weeks ago after finishing sixth at the Travelers Championship, taking up residence in the Surrey estate he and wife Erica Stoll have been developing.

“We came back a few weeks ago and moved into our new home in Wentworth and been since trying to settle in and it’s amazing what two weeks of a bit of detachment can do for you, and sitting there being with your own thoughts for a while,” McIlroy told the Telegraph.

The move to Wentworth was particularly championed by Stoll, who was keen to leave behind Florida’s intense heat for the cooler English climate.

The couple had announced their separation last year but reconciled after a month.

McIlroy reportedly purchased the sprawling estate in 2023, investing up to £9 million in developing the family home.

Planning documents describe it as a “large, detached dwelling sited centrally within a substantive plot”.

The property features extensive luxury amenities, including an outdoor swimming pool with a recently approved heat pump system. McIlroy also secured planning permission for a dining and utility room extension, a new roof, internal alterations, a play centre and a 5ft-high water feature wall.

“Yeah, it’s been nice to have this time to reflect and also to rekindle my excitement and enthusiasm for the rest of the year,” McIlroy added.

The Northern Irishman, sporting a fresh haircut, is preparing for this week’s Scottish Open at North Berwick before heading to Royal Portrush for the Open Championship.

“Obviously we have this week in Scotland and then a massive week next week in Portrush,” he said.

McIlroy explained how the geographical distance has helped him gain perspective on the demanding tour schedule.

“There’s a detachment from the sort of week-in, week-out grind when you get back over here,” he noted, adding that fellow Wentworth resident Justin Rose shared similar sentiments.

The couple’s previous Florida residence in Jupiter, purchased from Ernie Els in 2017 for £16.5 million, sits on 2.4 acres and features nine bedrooms, ten bathrooms, an infinity pool, games room, tennis court, home theatre, recording studio and gym.

Wentworth Estate has housed numerous high-profile residents, including Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, who received a property from Queen Elizabeth following their marriage.

The late Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky and Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet also owned homes there.

“You play PGA Tour golf for the first 25, 30 weeks of the year and you need to completely get away from it – because this world of golf can become all-encompassing,” McIlroy reflected.

“In this last fortnight, I felt like I could detach and sort of hide in a way. I needed that. My game needed that.”

Serena Williams has achieved success in the world of sports. Her tennis career has left an indelible mark, and she is now enjoying the fruits of her labor.

Relaxed and far from her worries, the 23-time Grand Slam winner has been seen enjoying a vacation under the Sardinian sun and the warmth of her family.

The tennis legend spends her days with her husband and Reddit creator Alexis Ohanian and their two daughters, Olympia, 7, and newborn Adira, and has shared little family moments on her social media accounts. However, in the latest post she shared on her official Instagram account, she was the star.

Surrounded by flowers and nature, Serena posed for the camera wearing a long, form-fitting burgundy dress with straps, black sunglasses, and white sandals. Williams completed her look with attitude.

In the post, the tennis legend took the opportunity to share a profound and enigmatic reflection with her followers:

One must cultivate resilience in the face of adversity, maintaining a posture of dignity and perseverance, even when the weight of life’s challenges seeks to overwhelm. Or as the infamous Tupac would say, ‘You gotta keep your head up.’

Fans were quick to comment on her photos: “Omg you look amazing,” said one, “Gorgeous in nature,” said another fan, “this summer makes you more powerful every day,” said another user.

Serena’s upcoming plans

Serena Williams has become a major figure in sports, alongside her sister,Venus. Their story has inspired thousands of athletes and empowered women who are fighting for their dreams.

After the acclaimed Oscar-nominated film King Richard, which tells their own story and which they executive produced alongside their half-sister Isha Price, Serena and Venus are reportedly working on a similar project.

The three are reuniting to bring another moving tennis story to life: The Match. The film will be an adaptation of Bruce Schoenfeld’s book “The Match: Althea Gibson & Angela Buxton: How Two Outsiders-One Black, the Other Jewish-Forged a Friendship and Made Sports History.”

In addition, together with her sister, she will launch “Unfiltered Truth” via X, a podcast in which both will share much more than just sports talk. This project, scheduled to launch in August, will be produced by Serena’s own company, Nine Two Six Production.

In conversation with Variety, the Williams sisters said they chose this platform because it allows their listeners and followers to join the conversation and thus create a more intimate and close connection with them.

Terence Crawford has sent a scathing message to a potential future rival.

The 37-year-old switch-hitter from Omaha, Nebraska is just shy of 40-fights into his exceptional professional career, which began way back in 2008.

Crawford has already won world titles across four weight divisions, as well as capturing the undisputed championship at super-lightweight and welterweight, becoming the first male fighter of all time to achieve this feat within the ‘four belt era’.

He is just two months away from arguably the toughest test of his career as he prepares to challenge Mexican great Canelo Alvarez for the undisputed super-middleweight championship. Their highly anticipated ‘mega-fight’ takes place on Saturday September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Speaking on the Cigar Talk Podcast, Crawford discussed the possibility of a future showdown with lightweight star Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, as he claims the 30-year-old world champion ‘would never’ make the move up in weight to face him.

“Tank would never. He would never even think about to come up to 154.”

‘Bud’ was then asked if he believes Davis would move up to welterweight, should the opportunity present itself.

“Yes, if he gets to pick his opponent, but Tank would never go from 35 to 54.”

Davis currently reigns as the WBA world lightweight champion, with the next defence of his crown set to come against Lamont Roach Jr in their highly anticipated rematch.

The pair locked horns for the first time back in March as they fought to a close split decision draw at the Barclays Center in New York City. It is being speculated that the rematch will take place in Las Vegas on August 16.

Andy Ruiz Jr has slimmed down significantly in preparation for a return to the ring.

The Mexican-American puncher hasn’t boxed since last August when he was held to a disputed majority draw by Jarrell Miller in Los Angeles.

However, he is now training and dieting again.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Ruiz Jr posted a picture of some food prep, with the caption: “Gotta start now and only eat protein for 3 weeks.

“Getting ready before fight camp.”

‘The Destroyer’ then followed up his post with a shirtless snap, devoid of his famous gut.

“Slow but surely,” he wrote underneath. “Work in progress…”

Ruiz Jr usually operates between 255lbs and 265lbs, but for his last bout with Miller, he came in at 274lbs – his second heaviest weight to date.

The 35-year-old looked sluggish and was fortunate to scrape a draw.

Yet judging from recent pictures, he looks to be boiling down to his ideal fight weight as he starts the arduous climb back to the top.

Ruiz Jr tipped the scales at 268lbs when he stunned the boxing world by snatching the unified WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles from Anthony Joshua in June 2019.

He is seemingly on the verge of mounting a comeback and looks to be in great shape

The heavy underdog stepped in on five weeks’ notice to replace Miller after the American failed a trio of drug tests and dropped AJ three times en route to a shocking seventh-round knockout win.

A rematch was then booked for December, and while Joshua took himself away from all of the external distractions and left no stone unturned in training, Ruiz Jr’s camp was less than ideal.

Ruiz Jr admits he spent three months partying and celebrating his career-best win, leading to 15lbs of weight gain.

The stocky boxer came in at a whopping 283.5lbs for their sequel and laboured to a wide unanimous decision loss.

“I don’t want to say the three months of partying or celebrating didn’t affect me, as to tell you the truth, it kind of did,” Ruiz said in the immediate aftermath.

“There’s no excuses. The partying got the best of me. The next fight is going to be a lot different.”

Ruiz Jr never got his trilogy bout with Joshua, despite his best efforts, while his career has stagnated since their second meeting.

The former heavyweight world champion has only fought three times in the last six years: a pair of wins over Chris Arreola and Luis Ortiz and the aforementioned draw with Miller.

After a wild year with a near divorce, golf star Rory McIlroy and his wife Erica Stoll seem to be starting a new saga in life and location.

They just moved into a big, new house in Wentworth, Surrey, a green spot near London, making true Stoll’s wish to leave Florida for a cooler, calmer place.

The Daily Mail says McIlroy bought this house in 2023 and spent a year fixing it up. This move came soon after the pair stunned fans by stopping their divorce, which they had said was happening in 2024. McIlroy later shared they saw their “best future was as a family together.”

A new start in Wentworth for the McIlroy family

Their new place is in the fancy Wentworth Estate, close to the famous Wentworth Golf Club and home to housed royals and billionaires, like Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

Stoll, from upstate New York, was tired of Florida’s big heat and pushed for the move to England. McIlroy, living in Jupiter, Florida, for years, said yes to the shift after the U.S. Open in June.

We came back a few weeks ago and moved into our new home in Wentworth. It’s amazing what two weeks of a bit of detachment can do for you… it’s been nice to reflect and rekindle my excitement for the rest of the year.

From divorce to re-love

Their choice to stop the divorce stunned many in golf. Some think McIlroys mind change was due to both heart and financial reasons, including the huge cost of splitting his big fortune.

Since getting back together, McIlroy and Stoll look more joined, and the move to Surrey is like a new beginning. They have a daughter, Poppy, and want to keep family life steady and separated from the media despite McIlroys busy tour life.

McIlroy is getting ready for both the Scottish Open and the Open Championship at Portrush, hoping to add another big win to the one he got at the Masters this year. He always states that the moving and the quiet and calm time he has spent at his new house with his wife, have cleared his mind like never in his life.

It’s been a good couple of weeks to just be with my thoughts and get ready for what’s ahead

With a new house, a fixed marriage, and a big win earlier in the year, McIlroy is set for a strong end to the 2025 season.

 

Oleksandr Usyk (23-0-0, 14 KOs) is a modern-day legend who has become the undisputed champion in both the cruiserweight and heavyweight weight divisions.

He’s only the third male fighter, after Terence Crawford and Naoya Inoue, to achieve this extraordinary feat. He’s has had a career full of achievements, and in 2018, was named Sports Illustrated’s Fighter of the Year.

The Ukrainian boasts spectacular wins against the likes of Anthony Joshua (twice) and Tyson Fury (twice), and is the consensus greatest heavyweight of the modern era. Usyk returns to action on July 19, taking on Daniel Dubois in a rematch at Wembley Stadium in London. With a win, he could once again become the undisputed heavyweight champion.

Apart from his boxing skills, Usyk is quite the character outside the ring. He is a man of many skills and even some hardcore boxing fans might not know some of these facts about Oleksandr Usyk.

Here aref ive interesting things about the 38-year-old Ukrainian.

1. Usyk is an Olympic gold medalist

Long before winning the undisputed titles in professional boxing, Oleksandr Usyk represented Ukraine in the 2012 London Olympics, winning the gold medal in the heavyweight category. Usyk’s future opponent, Anthony Joshua, was also a gold medalist in London 2012, albeit in super heavyweight.

Notably, Usyk also competed in the Beijing Olympics, winning the silver medal in 2008. Usyk started his professional career in 2013 and has never looked back since.

2. Usyk played professional soccer before boxing

Boxing has made Usyk a global superstar. However, his athletic career started as a soccer player before he switched to the sweet science back in 2002. Usyk trained with Ukrainian club SC Tavriya Simferopol at a young age.

He returned to Soccer in 2022, training with and even playing for FC Polissya Zhytomyr.

3. Usyk had an extended amateur career

Oleksandr Usyk was a renowned name on the boxing circuit long before turning professional. He had an extended amateur career, managing to amass an impressive record of 335-15. Following his gold medal win in the London 2012 Olympics, Usyk became a professional boxer.

4. Usyk competed in the World Series of Boxing

For a smooth transition from amateur to professional, Oleksandr Usyk competed in the 2012-13 World Series of Boxing. He took part in the heavyweight division and won all of his six fights, with two of those coming by stoppage and four by unanimous decision.

Usyk defeated Junior Fa, Eric Brechlin, Joe Joyce, Magomedrasul Majidov, Matteo Modugno and Mihai Nistor.

5. Usyk co-starred with The Rock

Oleksandr Usyk’s talents are not limited to the boxing ring, as the Ukrainian has made several appearances in movies as well. The Fight Rules, A Tale As Old As Time, Reignited- Can’t Get You Out of My Head, and most recently The Smashing Machine are among the movies he’s appeared in.

Usyk co-starred with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in the MMA film The Smashing Machine.

Terence Crawford is preparing for the biggest fight of his career, moving up two weight classes to take on undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez.

But an old sparring video is once again sparking debate about his chances to win the mega-fight.

The video shows Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) and current WBC middleweight champion Carlos Adames going head-to-head, with Adames getting the better of “Bud” on several exchanges. Now it’s being used by critics as a way to question Crawford’s move to 168 lbs from his current division, 154 lbs.

READ: “He Really Might Pull Out”: Gervonta Davis vs Lamont Roach Rematch In Jeopardy

The video reportedly dates back to when Crawford was a lightweight (135 lbs), which is a division he hasn’t fought at since 2014. Adames (24-1-1, 18 KOs) was fighting at welterweight (147 lbs) at the time, meaning there was at least a 12 lbs difference between the two boxers.

Despite the video being recorded a long time ago, critics use it as pinning point to why Crawford’s size won’t translate to super-middleweight. “Bud’s” last fight was Aug. 3rd, 2024, where he beat Israil Madrimov by unanimous decision to win the WBA junior middleweight title, his first fight at 154 lbs. Now, he is jumping up 14 more pounds to fight the cash cow of boxing.

Although he has critics, many supporters have defended Crawford, pointing out that sparring sessions don’t really emulate a real fight. Not to mention that sparring is usually the time for fighters to practice and implement new arsenals to their game.

The video may add fuel to the haters, but realistically it’s not a representation of Crawford’s odds against Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs). And on top of that, “Bud” is the rare breed of special boxers that could adapt to any scenario he’s put in. He’s not the No. 3 pound-for-pound in the Ring Magazine rankings for no reason.

Canelo vs Crawford is a fight that mixes the entertainment value of Riyadh Season with the narrative of the best fighting the best. Whatever happens Sept. 13th, let’s hope it lives up to the hype.
