Simone Biles’ Gold Over America Tour Teammate Reveals Secret Behind the Event’s Mega Success

By
Simone Biles

The ongoing Simone Biles-led Gold Over America Tour has been deemed a major success. There have been many reviews from the audience praising the show and its performances. The show is particularly well-liked by the younger generation, who have always been the target audience for it. This is a major achievement for Simone, for whom this tour has always been a dream project.

However, this has not been a simple task at all. Performing in 30 cities within just a bit over a month can be tiring for all the performers. There might come a point where both mental and physical fatigue kick in. The fact that some of these gymnasts have arrived on the tour straight from the Olympics must also be taken into consideration. However, the organizers of the Simone Biles-led tour seem to be aware of this and have taken precautions against it.

Simone Biles 

Joscelyn Roberson, Simone Biles’ World Championship teammate, is a part of the tour squad. She revealed that the tour bus has a physiotherapist who always accompanies them after a show to help them recover to their fullest. This is because recovery is the most important thing in this tour and helps drive down the fatigue to a manageable level.

Talking to self.com, Joscelyn said, “We have a PT on the bus that travels with us. I think recovery is really important—so getting treatment, getting good rest, and then making sure you’re ready and really warmed up for the shows. Your body is your instrument on this trip, so making sure it’s as healthy as it can be is the most important thing.” 

Joscelyn Roberson also likes to unwind after every performance and gets cozy in her Target robe. The gymnast also said that she prioritizes showering after every performance to feel better. “And taking off my makeup is really nice—that really settles me down,” she said. Joscelyn also claimed to have late-night conversations with fellow teammate Katelyn Ohashi, which helped reduce both the gymnast’s mental fatigue. Thus, all these things help them prepare to go to the next performance with a fresh mind and body.

This is how the Gold Over America tour has been a great success. However, there might be a dilemma with the tour, which they soon might have to deal with. This is because Simone Biles might have to take a break for a while because of other commitments.

Simone Biles could halt Gold Over America Tour because of Rising Documentary

Simone Biles’ Gold Over America Tour is ongoing in full swing right now as fans shower praise on the show. However, Simone herself must deal with other commitments. This is because the new season of her Netflix documentary Simone Biles Rising’s premiere is all set to take place on October 23rd in Los Angeles. The importance of the show might exceed the Gold Over America Tour, too, because of the journey it is going to show.

The second season is set to cover her comeback from the Tokyo Olympics debacle to her success in the Paris Olympics. Thus, it is very special to her, which is why she would never miss the premiere. The GOAT tour, which will currently perform in Houston next, will travel to Fort Worth for their October 20th performance.

Netflix Imposes ‘No Knockout Clause’ in Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul Fight Contract, Tim Welch Co-Host Speculates

By
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson

The Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight has left the internet buzzing for various reasons. While the fans are excited about this ultimate clash at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, they are also worried about Tyson. It’s due to the recent health issue the former heavyweight champion is going through.

A few months ago, Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up, which delayed the fight from July 20 to November 15. Even though ‘Iron’ has received a medical green light, he is almost 60. Entering into the ring against a 27-year-old is still very risky. The fandom unanimously shares a feeling of concern. Even Tim Welch, head coach and cornerman of UFC fighter Sean O’Malley, was worried and speculated a ‘no-knockout’ clause for the sake of Tyson’s well-being.

Mike Tyson

Tim Welch’s bizarre speculation

On his latest Red Hawk Recap podcast episode, Welch sat down with Joe Riggs and his other friends to discuss various topics. During the episode, he mentioned that on November 15, his entire group would watch the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight, followed by a huge sigh. “Hopefully we don’t see a death there,” stated Welch, with a worried look on his face.

They were glad that both boxers would use the 14-ounce gloves, which would subdue the blow of the punches substantially. “I believe yeah I hope supposedly they have bigger gloves on which is good uh I just hope Mike Tyson doesn’t get hurt,” stated Riggs.

That is when Warlike jumped in and suggested that there might be a no-knockout clause in the contract. Please note, it’s Netflix’s first boxing live event stream. “Because if Netflix is trying to acquire that, they’re not going to try and acquire a one-minute fight of Jake Paul knocking out Mike Tyson. I’m just saying from a perspective,” stated Warlike.

Unbelievable Anthony Joshua gesture left Kevin Mitchell and his family speechless after brother’s tragic death

By
Anthony Joshua

A former British boxing champion opened up on an act that proved Anthony Joshua is an incredibly classy operator.

Kevin Mitchell, who won the British super featherweight title and the Commonwealth title in his 12-year professional boxing career, tragically lost his younger brother, Vinny, in 2019.

Vinny, who was also a boxer, died aged 31 when his motorcycle collided with a tree.

The tragic loss left Mitchell and his family devastated but it also had a significant financial aspect on them, too.

Anthony Joshua

With Mitchell retired as a boxer, the family was under serious financial pressure to foot the bill for the funeral as well as continue their mortgage payments.

But just one phone call later and one of those financial headaches had vanished thanks to Joshua’s incredible generosity.

In an interview with Josh James, Mitchell revealed Joshua’s heart-warming gesture.

“He had so much pressure on him and let me tell you something – I’ve not said this to anyone before on podcast – but he paid for my brother’s funeral,” Mitchell revealed.

James asked Mitchell if Joshua’s kind act was because he knew the brothers, the 39-year-old responded: “Both. He knew my brother, he knew me, he knew my mum.

Gervonta Davis’ Coaches Call Out Floyd Mayweather’s Questionable Move Before Major Fight

By
Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Gervonta 'Tank

The two are never shy of speaking out

The relationship between boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis once seemed unbreakable. Often compared to a father-son dynamic, the bond they shared has since unraveled. Tension surfaced when Davis accused Mayweather of banning him from his gym during training for his 2023 showdown against Ryan Garcia. Though Davis officially parted ways with Mayweather Promotions in 2022, Mayweather publicly claimed he had no hard feelings. But soon after, Davis began openly criticizing his former mentor, accusing him of unresolved financial issues in Dubai. The situation has only escalated since then, with both sides throwing subtle jabs at each other.

Now, as Davis continues to shine in the ring, his coaches are speaking out about Mayweather’s actions and raising concerns over his decision to reportedly bar Davis from his training facility at such a critical time.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Gervonta 'Tank

Coaches Demand Answers from Mayweather

Davis’ trainer Calvin Ford, along with assistant coach Kenny Ellis, recently voiced their frustrations in a video shared on Ford‘s Instagram. Ellis didn’t hold back, questioning Mayweather’s motives: “If Tank is like a son to Floyd, why would you put him out of the gym? Biggest fight of his career and you ban him. Why? Did you want him to lose?” The tone was unmistakably frustrated, as the coaches painted a picture of betrayal.

Ford echoed similar concerns, describing the emotional complexity of the relationship. He recounted a conversation with Mayweather where the boxing legend denied having blocked Davis from using the gym. However, both coaches remained adamant that Mayweather needed to be held accountable. Ellis went as far as to challenge the media to ask Mayweather directly about his motives: “I would love for the media to ask him, ‘What was on your mind when you put Tank out of the gym?'”

Floyd mayweather

Despite the tension, Ford also saw a silver lining. Reflecting on the incident, he noted, “It was a lesson within a lesson. What felt negative was actually positive. Tank worked harder, and the results showed.” That hard work paid off when Davis knocked out Ryan Garcia in the 7th round, securing his status as one of the sport’s elite fighters.

What Lies Ahead for Gervonta Davis

With Davis riding high on his success, he is set to defend his WBA title against Lamont Roach Jr. on December 14 at the Toyota Center in Houston. Roach, holding a 25-1-1 record, poses a significant challenge. Meanwhile, Davis continues to build on his undefeated 30-0 streak, with his most recent victory being a knockout against Frank Martin in June.

TMZ: Floyd Mayweather Lands $402M Real Estate Contract to Buy 60+ Buildings in NYC

By
Floyd Mayweather

Legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is reportedly making a massive investment in apartment buildings located primarily in the upper Manhattan area of New York City.

According to TMZ Sports, Mayweather purchased more than 60 buildings featuring over 1,000 units at an overall price of $402 million.

It is reportedly Mayweather’s goal to provide affordable housing for families that are struggling financially, and he offered the following statement to TMZ: “Growing up I used to dream about owning just one home by myself, when you work hard you can achieve anything.”

The 47-year-old Mayweather is one of the greatest and most financially successful boxers of all time, as he went a perfect 50-0 in his career, beating big names such as Manny Pacquiao, Canelo Álvarez, Oscar De La Hoya, Juan Manuel Márquez, Shane Mosley and Arturo Gatti.

Floyd Mayweather

Per ESPN’s Nick Parkinson, Mayweather vs. Pacquiao generated $600 million in 2015, and Mayweather earned an estimated $250 million.

Forbes’ Kurt Badenhausen reported that Mayweather then earned $275 million for fighting UFC star Conor McGregor in 2017, bringing Mayweather’s career earnings over $1 billion.

While Mayweather has not competed in an official fight since 2017, he has taken part in several exhibitions, including bouts with current WWE Superstar Logan Paul and John Gotti III.

Mayweather is also the founder of Mayweather Promotions, which has signed and promoted several notable boxers since its inception in 2007.

Mayweather has found ways to keep the money rolling in even in retirement from professional boxing, giving him the ability to make a massive real estate purchase.

15 Most Attractive PICTURES of Serena Williams you’ve NEVER SEEN BEFORE

By
Serena Williams

Every morning, Serena Williams wakes up and says to herself: “Put your best foot forward today.” It sounds pat, coming from the literal Greatest of All Time—an athlete so decorated she constructed her own trophy room and whose 23 Grand Slam wins set a record for women in the Open Era.

But for the 2024 Glamour Global Woman of the Year, whom I meet at home in Jupiter, Florida, on the kind of blazing hot morning that bathes the ground in almost eerie white light, the new motto in fact represents personal growth.

To her it’s a concession. She can’t be perfect all the time. She can’t always summon the strength to conquer the morning. She can only resolve to give the day her best. “Sometimes my best foot is going to be really wobbly.

It’s going to be really unstable,” she says, now settled onto a couch in her game room dressed in a fuchsia workout set and wrapped in one of her daughters’ blankets. “Every day is not going to be easy, but that’s the whole journey.”

Pin page

It’s now been two years since Williams retired from professional tennis, wrapping up an operatic run at the very pinnacle of the game. In that time she netted not just those 23 Grand Slam titles, but four Olympic medals, a slew of doubles wins, and 319 weeks in the top spot of the Women’s Tennis Association rankings.

She traveled the globe, the champion who represented the best of what athletics—and its attendant grit, determination, and sure, bravado—could be. With her parents, Richard Williams and Oracene Price, coaching both her and her older sister Venus, Williams shattered expectations—and boundaries—breaking into what was then (and can still be) a racist and sexist sport.

Serena Williams hot pictures

It wasn’t her job to fix it, but fixing things is what Williams does. She sees a problem. She itches to solve it. But now she is done winning other people’s games. She is building toward a new kind of international domination.

Hence a postretirement blueprint that revolves around not just her two daughters—Olympia, age seven, and Adira, one—whom she shares with her husband, Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian, but an ambitious venture fund that invests for the most part in founders who are women or people of color (the problem: just 2% of venture capital flows to women, and Black founders receive less than 0.5%); her makeup line Wyn Beauty (the problem: conventional makeup brands melted off her skin on the court or had paste-like formulations too thick to wear to dinner after a match); and a slew of partnerships and commitments that range from hosting the ESPY Awards on ESPN to serving as a parent volunteer at school (the problem: Williams can’t stand to be bored). This summer ESPN+ aired In the Arena: Serena Williams, an eight-part docuseries that serves as a career scrapbook, recalling in intimate and sometimes anguished detail the incredible highs and occasional lows of her tenure on the court.

Oh—also, she’s renovating her entire house. “I really realized I always need a project,” she says, stating the obvious while gesturing toward a board of carpet samples near our feet. Her tennis court is under construction, too, which explains why Serena Williams has not so much as picked up a racket in three months. She’s “desperate” to play, but it becomes evident in the time we spend curled up on her couch that it’s not as if she has hours to spare for recreation.

Williams has timed this interview to overlap with Adira’s morning nap, having realized that it’s best to work around the baby’s sleep schedule. Olympia is in school, which means Williams must pack her personal and professional obligations into the hours between drop-off and pickup, which she likes to do herself.

When she needs a break from pitch decks and investor calls, one of her favorite diversions is…doing the laundry, she tells me, smiling. “I love the smell of it,” she insists when I look skeptical. “I like things very, very neat.”

So the inherent chaos that seems to follow children everywhere was always going to test her. For years Williams optimized her time to serve her body’s needs. Disciplined is an understatement. In In the Arena, Williams remembers the moments behind the triumphant wins: injuries that could have been career-ending, grueling training sessions, matches that almost derailed her.

Serena Williams on X: "Chip why are u wearing a bow tie?? http://t.co/I6OuUY4PDD" / X

“You only see the finals—did she win, did she lose,” she says now. “You don’t see when I couldn’t breathe, when I was seeing stars on the court. This is letting people who are interested or who want to be motivated see: This is what it takes.”

When Williams was growing up, she couldn’t fathom her mother’s nerves—her need to warn and correct and caution. She and Venus had earned their sense of confidence, and she hated to hear Price’s voice in her ear, nudging her in one direction or another. “I’d be like, ‘I know what to do!’” Williams remembers.

Later she came to appreciate what a mother offers that not even the most relentless coach or dedicated team can: She alone has no other interest at heart but her child’s. Williams understands better, now that she is a mother herself, how it is that Price can call and tell her that she has been thinking and she would rather Williams not go to the beach this afternoon.

Serena Williams

(“You could drown in the ocean!”) Williams is 42 and knows how to swim, but she gets it. “I look at my mom in amazement. She did that five times, and she’s had the horrible experience of losing one of her children,” Williams says, invoking her sister Yetunde Price, who was killed in 2003. “So you know what? You just have to keep your mouth shut and complain to your sisters.”

Floyd Mayweather shelled out $18million to become only owner in world of incredible luxury item

By
Floyd Mayweather

Floyd Mayweather has been known to flaunt his wealth, but he remarkably spent $18million on one item.

Mayweather has become one of the world’s biggest sporting superstars, with his skills in the boxing ring seeing him retire with a perfect professional record of 50 wins.

The American became one of the sport’s biggest ever pay-per-view draws and headlined the biggest events, resulting in the legend pocketing a remarkable $1.2billion in total earnings.

During his career and since his retirement, Mayweather has been living a plush lifestyle buying a whole host of properties, luxury items and making other investments.

Floyd Mayweather

But one of his most expensive purchases ever came on an incredible luxury watch, a passion which he has shared with his fans for several years.

In 2018, Mayweather revealed that he had picked up a new ‘Billionaire Watch’ to add to his incredible collection, for the small price of $18m.

The custom-made timepiece was first revealed in 2015, and is made by luxury jewellers Jacob & Co.

Incredibly, the watch is made of emerald-cut diamonds to a total of 260 carats, with each single stone weighing a monstrous 3 carats.

It’s bracelet to hold the clock face in place also has 18 carats, and the watch is one-of-a-kind, the only version of this model to exist on the planet.

Floyd Mayweather

The watch ranks as one of the most expensive to have ever been purchased in the world, and its worth puts it alongside some of Mayweather’s biggest-ever investments.

He bought the watch off of jeweller Tadashi Fukushima and it is considered the prized possession of his collection.

Mayweather posted an image of his new purchase for fans to see six years ago, while showing off his crazy amount of jewellery he already owns.

Weeks After Listing $48M Mansion for Sale, Floyd Mayweather Flexes Wads of Cash in New Private Jet

By
Floyd Mayweather

Floyd Mayweather always finds a way to flaunt his fortune in a ridiculous way that leaves everyone else speechless. A few weeks ago, he put his 8-year-old Beverly Hills mansion on the market for a jaw-dropping $48 million, and just weeks later, he was back flaunting his lavish lifestyle, this time aboard his brand-new private jet, “Air Mayweather 2.”

On Wednesday, the retired boxing legend took to Instagram to share a glimpse of his extravagant jet, showing off its luxurious features while making it clear that his love for opulence is as strong as ever.

Reunion with an old pal

Floyd Mayweather‘

The Instagram story featured the 5’8 feet former boxer in his ‘Air Mayweather 2’ flaunting two huge big wads of cash. Not only that, he also gave fans a tour of the jet’s customizable interior lights, cycling through four different lighting setups at his request. There were 4 light changes before he took his attention to someone sitting behind him.

Floyd Mayweather took the cash towards him and urged every fighter in the world to follow the man now standing beside him. The mystery guest was none other than Richard Schaefer. “I need every fighter, everyone in the world, all the MMA, boxers, follow this man right here,” stated Floyd Mayweather.

For those who are unaware, Floyd Mayweather and Richard Schafer have a long history together. Schaefer was the CEO of Golden Boy Promotions when Floyd Mayweather fought some nine fights under GBP. The promotion as well as Schaefer played a very important role in shaping Mayweather’s later career after he broke off from Bob Arum’s Top Rank. Golden Boy Promotions under the helm of Schaefer was responsible for many big matches in his career, notably against Canelo Alvarez, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, and Marcos Maidana.

Floyd mayweather

In 2014, Schafer parted ways with the Golden Boys and opened his own promotional company, Ringstar Sports. After Schaefer’s exit, Floyd Mayweather too cut his ties with Golden Boy Promotions. So it’s not surprising that when Leonard Ellerbe left Mayweather Promotions in June, Floyd Mayweather brought in the one man he wanted running his company, Richard Schaefer. And now, Schaefer is leading Mayweather Promotions. Hence, the high praise from Mayweather.

Mayweather’s endorsement of Schaefer likely reflects their ongoing professional ties, particularly as Mayweather continues to involve himself in lucrative ventures.

Floyd Mayweather’s $48 million move

As if his luxury jet wasn’t enough, he has also listed his Beverly Hills mansion for sale at a staggering $48 million, as mentioned earlier. He purchased the French-style property back in 2017 for $25 million following his victory over Canelo Alvarez. Over the years, Floyd Mayweather invested in high-end renovations, reportedly spending $500,000 on upgrades that include lavish chandeliers, mirrored fireplaces, and a state-of-the-art kitchen.

The 15,096 square-foot mansion, listed by ‘Mansion Global’, for a whopping price of $48 million boasts six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and multiple entertainment rooms, providing every conceivable luxury for potential buyers. Even if Mayweather sells the mansion for less than the asking price, he stands to make a substantial profit of close to $20 million, further padding his already impressive net worth.

Floyd Mayweather

Mayweather’s ability to turn his wealth into even greater fortune is undeniable. Whether it’s selling a mansion for a multi-million-dollar profit or flying in a private jet outfitted with every possible luxury, the former world champion remains a master at both flaunting and growing his fortune. As he continues to expand his business empire, fans can only speculate what other extravagant purchases Floyd Mayweather might show off next.

What do you think of ‘Air Mayweather 2?’ Do you think that the mansion in Beverly Hills was a smart investment by Floyd Mayweather? Let us know your thoughts down below.

Floyd Mayweather Didn’t Hesitate To Name The Heavyweight Who Would Beat A Prime Mike Tyson

By
Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson 

Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson are two of boxing’s biggest names from the past 40 years.

Tyson reigned as heavyweight champion throughout the 80s and 90s, defeating the likes of Michael Spinks, Larry Holmes, Frank Bruno and Tony Tucker.

Mayweather was a five-weight world champion and became the biggest box office draw in the sport, with his 2015 clash with Manny Pacquiao dubbed ‘The Fight of The Century’ and generated a record 4.6 million PPV buys.

Floyd Mayweather 

Many onlookers believe that a prime ‘Iron Mike’ would come out on top against most heavyweights, and Mayweather has now had his say on that theory.

Speaking to Mail Sport Boxing, he was asked to judge how certain match-ups would unfold, with Tyson included in the list, but Mayweather felt the boxing legend would come unstuck against one former world champion – Vitali Klitschko.

Klitschko retired with a record of 45-2, with 41 of those wins coming by knockout, and made 12 defences of the world heavyweight title.

Floyd mayweather

Injury forced him to leave the sport in 2004, before returning from a four-year absence in 2008 to defeat Samuel Peter for the WBC crown, with Vitali and his brother Wladimir ruling the heavyweight scene for a long period.

As for Tyson, his focus is currently on his controversial bout with Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, with the two men set to meet at the AT&T Stadium in Texas on November 15.

It will be the first live boxing event to be broadcast on Netflix, and Paul’s last opponent has no doubt who will come out on top.

Simone Biles Mocked by Gold Over America Tour Teammate in Viral Challenge: ’40 More Than the GOAT’

By
simone biles

Looks like the GOAT just got humbled—in the most hilarious way! During rehearsals for the Gold Over America Tour (aka GOAT tour), Simone Biles and her elite squad of gymnasts decided to take a break from dazzling on stage to have a little fun with the viral ‘Gymnast Grip Test.’ And what started as a friendly challenge turned into a social media sensation!

The challenge? A grip test using a Dynamometer Hand Grip Measurement Meter. Sounds fancy, right? It went viral during the Paris Olympics, with athletes like Félix Dolci, CJ Nickolas, and Kristina Teachout all giving it a shot. And let’s just say it wasn’t an easy feat—it revealed just how varied each athlete’s strength is, regardless of their sport.

The challenge was brought to the spotlight by Ian Gunther, an NCAA champion and content creator, and now our favorite gymnastics crew is getting in on the action! Ian Gunther, who’s on the Gold Over America Tour alongside Simone Biles and other gymnastics stars, introduced the “Gymnast Grip Strength Challenge 💪.” Fans were all in, loving the showdown, but the real gold came from the playful banter afterward!

Simone Biles 

In a plot twist, no one saw coming, Simone Biles, the GOAT herself, scored a surprising 60 lbs. Her reaction? “Oh, that’s so weak!” Turns out, even the greatest athletes have their moments. Enter Paul Juda, who smashed the challenge with a whopping 100 lbs, and you know he couldn’t resist having some fun with it. He teased, “40 more than the GOAT,” sending everyone into fits of laughter.

Simone later jumped into the comments to laugh it off, writing, “I’m embarrassed hahahahaahahaha,” but also gave a cheeky explanation: “To be fair, that’s more than half my body weight, soooooooo I’ll take it.” Honestly, we can’t blame her for that one!

Biles wasn’t the only one feeling the grip test heat—fellow Olympian Jade Carey joined in and posted a respectable 59 lbs, just shy of Biles’ score. But it was Joscelyn Roberson who wowed everyone with a surprising 74 lbs grip, proving she’s got some serious strength.

Among the guys, Ian Gunther showed why he’s a 4X NCAA champ with an impressive 129 lbs. But it was Brody Malone who stole the show, shocking everyone with a jaw-dropping 159 lbs grip! While the young men dominated the grip-off, Paul Juda couldn’t help but admit just how strong Simone Biles is where it counts—on the competition floor.

Paul Juda reflects on Vault challenges and what makes Simone Biles the undisputed queen of the gymnastics arena

Just a few weeks ago, Paul Juda secured his ticket to Paris and stepped into the city of love with fellow Olympians. During the US Olympic Trials for Paris 2024, Paul Juda decided not to deploy one of his most important weapons in his routine. He chose to avoid one of the toughest stunts, the Yurchenko Double Pike or Biles II, during the trials because “it really is a bit scary”. Juda played safe, as a reason he stated, “For this trials, I knew that I could score very well with a simpler vault simply because of my clean and consistent nature on the vault.”

However, that’s not just it. Paul also made sure to consider the valuable suggestion of the queen herself. Juda reflected, “I’ve talked to Simone (Biles) before. We’ve both said that it’s a bit of a scary vault. I actually had to discontinue training the vault after the World Championships to lessen harm on my elbows. It’s very, very grueling … it takes a lot of impact.”
