Jake Paul Vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Fight Preview
JJake Paul (11-1 with seven knockouts) found a niche for himself fairly quickly as a pro boxer. That niche was targeting MMA fighters with name recognition who were undersized or had undeveloped boxing skills. Paul's wins over Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva got the YouTuber-turned-boxer a lot of attention.
In 2023, Paul stepped up in competition, skill, and size to face Tommy Fury. The result of that fight was Paul's first and only pro loss, dropping a split decision to Fury.
Paul followed that loss by getting back in the ring with a former UFC fighter in Nate Diaz. Paul won that bout by split decision.
Since beating Diaz, Paul is 4-0 with wins over Andre August, Ryan Bourland, Mike Perry, and most recently, Mike Tyson.
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (54-6-1 with 24 KOs) has had a hard time shaking the visual of his 2019 loss to Daniel Jacobs, a fight where he came in overweight and quit in the fifth round. Chavez's action on that night left the crowd at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, showering the ring with debris.
Chavez is 3-2 since that loss, but he says he will be a different fighter against Paul.
"Now I'm disciplined, I'm focused, I want to finish the fight with Paul with a win and take this opportunity to be back in real boxing. That's my goal."
Gilberto Ramirez Vs. Yuniel Dorticos

(Photo by Cris Esqueda/)
Gilberto Ramirez (47-1 with 30 knockouts) opened his professional boxing career on a 44-0 run, going undefeated between 2009 and May 2022. He held the WBO super middleweight title between April 2016 and December 2018, defending the belt five times before moving up to light heavyweight in 2019.
Ramirez won his first five fights at light heavyweight by knockout, earning him a shot at Dmitry Bivol and his WBA light heavyweight belt. Bivol bested Ramirez in that 2022 contest, winning via unanimous decision.
Ramirez bounced back from that loss with three unanimous decision wins. In the seconds of those contests he bested Arsen Goulamirian for the WBA cruiserweight title, In his most recent outing he defeated Chris Billam-Smith to add the WBO cruiserweight belt to his collection.
Yuniel Dorticos (27-2 with 25 KOs) also turned pro in 2009. He too began his career with an impressive unbeaten streak, going 22-0 between his debut and February 2018. During that run, Dorticos won the vacant WBO interim cruiserweight belt in 2016 with a TKO of Youri Kayembre. Later elevated to full champion status Dorticos defended that belt with a KO of Dmitry Kudryashov. He surrendered that title to Murat Gassiev in his next outing, losing by TKO in the 12th round.
Dorticos later won the IBF cruiserweight belt, beating Andrew Tabiti for the vacant strap in 2019. He lost the title in his first defense, dropping a majority decision to Mairis Briedis in 2020.
Since losing the IBF strap, Dorticos is 3-0 with three knockouts, most recently stopping
Alan Campa in the first round of their June 2024 scrap.
ESPN has Ramirez ranked as the No. 2 cruiserweight behind IBF champion Jai Opetaia. Dorticos is the No.1 ranked cruiserweight according to the WBA. The WBO has him at No. 9.
We will have more on the Paul vs. Chavez fight and the upcoming fight card as fight night nears.

Louis Riddick Blasts Miami Dolphins for Drafting Quinn Ewers
Louis Riddick Blasts Miami Dolphins for Drafting Quinn Ewers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers entered the 2024 season as someone who draft experts viewed as a potential top pick in the 2025 NFL draft. However, he had a poor season by his standards, that was also impacted by injuries, and fell to the seventh round of the draft before he was selected by the Miami Dolphins. Advertisement On Thursday, analyst Louis Riddick appeared on Dolphins Talk to discuss Ewers in Miami as a possible long term option as the QB2 behind Tua Tagovailoa. "A long term number two, yeah. I would say off of what I've seen. I was admittedly not a big fan. That's not being disrespectful. That's just being honest. It's interesting, people want you to give your honest opinion as long as it's in accordance with what their opinion is and as long as it's positive." Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers (3) against the Clemson Tigers during the CFP National playoff first round at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial J. Rebilas-Imagn Images "Look Quinn, I don't know Quinn, I just know Quinn from watching a lot of UT film and being a big Longhorns fans. Could he be a good No. 2, yeah. Do I think he has the horsepower as far as body twitch, arm strength, to be a starting caliber QB to really level up Miami? No, I didn't see that. That's why I was very lukewarm to say the least on the draft selection." Advertisement Heading into his first NFL season, Ewers is listed as the third-string QB. Tagovailoa is the starting QB, followed by Zach Wilson. As a result, Ewers is unlikely to earn playing time this season unless there are significant injury issues in Miami.

Tamron Hall Shares A Behind-The-Scenes Look At Her Talk Show
New York City, May 13, 2025 — Tamron Hall, Emmy award winning talk show host, invites Forbes ... More contributor Corein Carter on set for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of her hit daytime show When I stepped onto the set of The Tamron Hall Show on a rainy New York morning, I was immediately greeted with warmth—and a little humor. Inside her dressing room, Tamron Hall is seated under a hair dryer, radiating calm. The Emmy-winning host and executive producer of her eponymous daytime show greets me with a warm smile as I enter. 'This is a television exclusive,' she jokes. 'I've never done an interview under the dryer.' Tamron Hall's director-style chair on set, a signature fixture behind the scenes of her acclaimed ... More daytime talk show. That's how the day begins: authentically unscripted and with plenty of heart. It's exactly the energy you'd expect from a woman who's built one of the last thriving syndicated talk shows on television — on her own terms. But that's Tamron Hall—wherever she is, she's fully present. And this day, I was invited to follow her for a full 'Day in the Life' on set. I settle in next to her, intrigued to pull back the curtain on what it truly takes to balance motherhood, business leadership and the magic that happens on camera. Watch Full Video Interview with Tamron Hall Here As the glam team works their magic, Hall talks about the part of her morning that no audience ever sees. 'When I wake up, the first thing I do is pray before I even step out of bed,' she says. 'Then I get my son ready for school. That's a non-negotiable.' She laughs, adding: 'Yes, I have a five-year-old and we do six shows a week, two tapings on Wednesdays and Fridays. The show doesn't start until he's on the bus.' Hall says softly. 'And you don't get to see me getting my son out the door, but that's how I start every day. I'm up around 5:45. Then it's emails, notes, getting him to the bus. The show begins after that.' The Business Behind the Brand NYC, May 13, 2025 — Tamron Hall gets camera-ready with longtime hairstylist Johnny Wright and head ... More makeup artist Raul Otero ahead of filming her daytime talk show As glam continues—no heat on the hair, just healthy molding, her team later tells me—I ask Hall about her mindset as not just a host, but as a business leader. While the Hall the public sees is effortlessly poised, the Tamron Hall I witnessed that day is also a shrewd businesswoman. 'People don't realize this is a small business,' she explains. 'I get a budget to produce this show. Disney gives us the freedom to build it. But if it's not good? They won't back it. I've stopped apologizing for wanting the best product imaginable. I'm competitive. I want this to be excellent.' NYC, May 13, 2025 — Tamron Hall celebrates the cookout-themed episode with Ja Rule, Case, and DJ ... More Cassidy after their live performance of 'Livin' It Up' on set. That business acumen is exactly what has allowed The Tamron Hall Show—one of daytime's few remaining independently-driven syndicated talk shows—to not just survive, but thrive in an increasingly consolidated media landscape. I nod, taking in her words about the realities of building a lasting career. 'It's a work in progress,' Hall says, her tone both candid and grounded. 'You don't have to lose your soul. But you do have to make sacrifices. There are going to be days when you can't do what you want—but that doesn't mean you can't still have a full life.' It's a seamless mix of preparation and purpose as the team gets ready to bring an unforgettable episode to life. Beneath the business drive is a deeper mission. 'There are so many moments that remind me this is bigger than TV,' Hall says. One such moment left a lasting impression. Mia and Mya Pauldo, identical twin basketball players, appeared on the Tamron Hall Show to showcase ... More their skills and talk about their journey 'We did a show about veterans waiting for living donors. A viewer was watching from home, and God told her to do something. She reached out to the organization we featured and ended up donating an organ. We later reunited her with the man she saved. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.' It's a throughline in Hall's work—creating space for human connection. Though many episodes do tackle emotional topics, Hall clarifies that The Tamron Hall Show is never about trauma for trauma's sake. Cameron Pipkins, who saved his brother's life with a bone marrow transplant, is surprised by Tamron ... More Hall with a family trip to Disney World. 'We talk about life,' she says. 'It's about resilience, joy, and the full human experience. We've done everything from Kirk Franklin discussing the discovery of his biological father, to our 'I Survived My Vacation' episode, where a guest overcame a life-threatening fall. Those stories aren't just about hardship—they're about the human spirit.' Hall proves her show is anchored by intention—every guest, every story, every surprise being rooted in something real. She believes people respond because her show doesn't exploit their stories. 'We have over a thousand episodes of proof that we protect what people share with us,' Hall adds. The show is a testament to how storytelling can serve a greater purpose, with each segment offering more than just a moment—it offers meaning. As we make our way toward the studio, Hall moves effortlessly between roles—wrapping a quick meeting with station affiliates, fitting in a parent-teacher conference over Zoom, and preparing for an evening dinner celebrating Taraji P. Henson's latest film. A Day In The Life - On Set with Tamron Hall The balancing act is relentless—and intentional. 'Sometimes I can't be at every event at my son's school,' she admits. 'But we just spent Mother's Day in New Orleans. We walked to the aquarium, rode the trolley, and had an amazing time. That's what matters. One moment doesn't define our bond.' And neither does one title define Hall's career. Backstage, I ask her about another lesson: how she manages to remain multifaceted in an industry that often tries to define women by one role. 'I do it all—because I can,' Hall says firmly. 'As a Black woman, we didn't always have the opportunity to be multifaceted. Now I do. So I'm embracing it.' A copy of Tamron Hall's new children's picture book Harlem Honey, inspired by her son Moses and ... More celebrating the culture and community of Harlem. Hall lights up as she talks about her children's book Harlem Honey and a recent 90s-inspired fashion shoot. 'When I got this talk show, it was a dream come true,' she says. 'But I didn't stop dreaming.' When I asked Tamron what 'success' looks like now, after seven seasons, syndication, and countless accolades, her answer wasn't about ratings or Emmys. It was something much deeper — and more human. The real legacy of her show isn't just in who watches — it's in who feels recognized. Who feels represented. Who finally sees someone asking the questions they've long held inside. Hall's version of success isn't about visibility. It's about impact. Of course, no on-camera presence is a solo act. Behind the scenes, Hall's longtime stylist Johnny Wright and head makeup artist Raul Otero are integral parts of the process. L to R: Raul Otero (makeup artist) and Johnny Wright (hairstylist) and discuss perfecting her look ... More for The Tamron Hall Show 'She's a pixie queen,' says Wright, who has styled Hall since he was 21. 'We keep her hair chic, healthy, and elevated—no heat, no damage.' For Otero, the goal is to enhance Hall's natural beauty. 'Tamron has such a regal presence,' he says. 'We create a look that's expensive but effortless. That complements who she is.' As we move through the halls of the studio, one thing becomes clear: The Tamron Hall Show runs on more than just scripts and cameras. It runs on trust. Hall doesn't just show up for the show — she shows up for her people. And that's why the people around her show up for her. 'This isn't just about me,' she says as she walks briskly from glam to stage. 'I'm surrounded by a team of people who care deeply about this show. We move fast. We change outfits in 20 minutes. We meet with stations between tapings. And no one's complaining — because they're invested.' Tamron Hall and Forbes contributor Corein Carter ride the elevator to the stage, moments before ... More showtime begins Her glam team, Wright and Otero, echo that sentiment. They've worked with Hall for decades combined and have learned how to adapt, innovate, and create on the fly. 'There's no overthinking with Tamron,' Wright tells me. 'She trusts us. That's why we can make quick switches, go from daytime neutral to full fashion glam, and never skip a beat.' Otero adds, 'We build looks that reflect her personality — clean, sophisticated, powerful. But it's collaborative. She knows what she likes, and she gives us space to bring that vision to life.' What's rare is how this trust extends beyond just beauty — it's in the scripting, the pacing, even how she preps the audience. Tamron Hall and her producer review the run of show just moments before cameras roll on the ... More cookout-themed episode. 'We script our shows about a week or two out,' Hall says. 'By the time I walk on stage, I've already revisited what we wrote, refreshed my memory, and worked with the team to tighten it. This show doesn't just happen — we build it.' There's a rhythm to how Hall leads: present, precise, but full of grace. She'll command a room while complimenting a producer's necklace. She'll jump from affiliate meetings to cookout segments with Ja Rule and Case — without ever seeming rushed. And maybe that's the secret sauce: the culture she's created feels like family, not just production. In an industry known for turnover and burnout, Tamron's show thrives on mutual respect, shared vision and an unwavering standard of excellence. The rain has thrown off plans for an outdoor taping, but no one's panicking. If anything, the storm becomes part of the story. The show must go on — just indoors now, with the same signature joy and precision. Tamron Hall gets mic'd up and ready to roll, just moments before stepping on set for her daytime ... More talk show. 'I've done live television my entire career — MSNBC, the Today Show, breaking news, hurricanes, election nights, you name it,' she tells me, now mic'd up and moments away from stepping into the spotlight. 'So this? A little rain? That's nothing. You pivot. You keep going.' The controlled chaos of The Tamron Hall Show begins to settle into a rhythm. Outfits are zipped, notes are finalized, producers shuffle backstage with clipboards and laptops in hand. There's less than five minutes until go-time. She turns to me one last time before walking on stage. 'The moment I step out there and feel the love—that never gets old,' she says. 'It's like a rocket ship.' But Tamron? She's calm. 'This is where I thrive,' Hall tells me, 'We treat every episode like it's live. It keeps us sharp." Tamron Hall just moments before stepping on set for her daytime talk show She peeks out toward the studio audience and smiles The band cues up. The audience starts to cheer. The curtains opens. And just like that, Hall is in her element — powerful, poised and completely in command of her stage. Backstage, I take a quiet second to let it all sink in. The team, the prep, the purpose — it all builds toward this one moment. Not just a talk show, but a world she built with intention. Hall walks out to applause, welcoming the TamFam, bringing grace and grit to every second of airtime. And what strikes me most? It's not performance. It's presence. Real, rooted, unshakeable. She isn't just ready for showtime. She is the show. Legendary Comedian Bill Bellamy join Tamron Hall Show As the day winds down, I ask Hall what she's learned on this journey. And when it comes to defining herself? 'I'm going to consistently find ways to use my voice—to grow this show, to create more, and to show my son that it's okay to dream big. And yes,' she smiles, 'sometimes that means I'll go home and do a terrible job at Lego. But that's life. Tamron Hall and Forbes contributor Corein Carter share a final laugh while chatting about the day's ... More highlights after wrapping on set Spending a day with Tamron Hall made one thing abundantly clear: her magic lies not just in what happens in front of the camera, but in the intentionality behind every moment—on set, in business and in life. And when it comes to defining herself? 'I'm going to consistently find ways to use my voice—to grow this show, to create more, and to show my son it's okay to dream big. And yes,' she laughs, 'sometimes that means I'll go home and do a terrible job at Lego. But that's life.' In a world that often asks women—especially Black women—to choose, Hall is proof that you can be all of it: the host, the mother, the wife, the executive, the dreamer and the legacy in motion. Hall doesn't just run a show—she creates space for stories, for truth and for women to see what's possible. She's reshaping what leadership, grace and authenticity look like on and off camera.

Arch Manning Reaffirms Why He Chose Texas as a Recruit
Arch Manning Reaffirms Why He Chose Texas as a Recruit originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the No. 1 overall recruit in the 2023 class, Arch Manning held offers from some of the biggest programs in college football. Advertisement Powerhouses such as Ole Miss, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Notre Dame all made pushes for him, but when it came time to make a decision, the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning chose the Texas Longhorns. It was a bit of a shocking choice considering they already had a starter in place with Quinn Ewers, but Manning made it clear that he wanted to be in Austin. Aside from old videos surfacing showing that he had been a Longhorns fan growing up, Manning and his family were also enticed by the opportunity to play for Steve Sarkisian. Even after it was revealed Ewers was returning for 2024, Manning didn't run to the portal like most players these days would. Something that he touched on when speaking to On3 at the Manning Passing Academy on Thursday. Advertisement 'Just his track record with quarterbacks, he came off a really good year in 2020 with Mac Jones at Alabama,' Manning said. 'They lit it up. I like him as a person. I liked Austin, liked Texas, so it was just the right fit. He's hard on me sometimes, but I deserve it a lot of the time." Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Diggins/American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Aside from Mac Jones, Sarkisian also helped develop Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, Mark Sanchez, Jake Locker and Tua Tagovailoa. While Manning was beloved as the backup that everyone wanted to see play last year, 2025 will be his time to shine. Sarkisian named him as the starter earlier this offseason, giving him the keys to a program that has made the College Football Playoff two years in a row, losing in the semifinal in both. Advertisement Although there will be plenty of pressure on him due to his name and the fact he sat and waited, the buzz around Austin is that he will be worth the hype, and then some.
