Who is Charleston White? 48-year-old defeats Island Boys at Adin Ross' boxing event
The match was streamed live for free on Ross' Kick channel. It ended with a technical knockout after White hit Kodiyakredd clean and hard, making him quit. The crowd went wild, and the internet exploded with memes, jokes, and mixed reactions. Things were already heated before the fight. At the press conference, White pushed Kodiyakredd in the face and mocked him, showing it was more than just a hype show, as per reports.
The fight didn't last long, but it was intense. White, who's mostly known for stirring things up online rather than being an athlete, came out aggressive. Kodiyakredd, best known as one of the Island Boys, couldn't keep up. By the second round, it was all over.
The event had nine fights total, all featuring internet personalities with beef. But the main event stole the show with its chaos, trash talk, and unexpected finish.

First Time in 3 Years, R Praggnanandhaa Topples D Gukesh in Classical Format
Praggnanandhaa scored his first Classical victory in three years over world champion D Gukesh, vaulting to world No. 3. This win marks a breakthrough in their rivalry. In a stunning start to the Sinquefield Cup 2025 in St. Louis, India's R Praggnanandhaa scored his first Classical victory in three years over reigning world champion D Gukesh, marking a breakthrough moment in their high-profile rivalry. The 20-year-old grandmaster clinched the point in just 36 moves, vaulting to world No. 3 in live rankings with a career-best rating of 2784. Gukesh, meanwhile, slipped to No. 5 on the live leaderboard. 'This was probably my smoothest game against him in Classical," Praggnanandhaa told the Grand Chess Tour broadcast after the match. 'I knew I had messed up too many chances last year. Today, things finally came together." The two prodigies from Chennai have been battling each other across formats since their early teens, but the Classical format has been Gukesh's fortress—until now. Since his last Classical win over Gukesh at the Reykjavik Open in April 2022, Praggnanandhaa had repeatedly fallen short, including several painful misses in 2024 where he squandered winning positions. The narrative shifted dramatically on Monday. Playing White, Praggnanandhaa pushed Gukesh into early time trouble before navigating to a favourable endgame. The 19-year-old world champion, known for his composure, faltered with multiple inaccuracies and was forced to resign before the position became untenable. Gukesh entered the 2025 Sinquefield Cup as not just the World Champion—having wrested the crown from Ding Liren in December 2024—but also as one of the most consistent players in Classical format. With the win, Praggnanandhaa joined Levon Aronian at the top of the leaderboard. Aronian defeated Nodirbek Abdusattorov, while the remaining games ended in draws. In Round 2, Praggnanandhaa will face Fabiano Caruana, whom he leapfrogged in live world rankings, while Gukesh takes on Abdusattorov in what is already a must-win game to revive his campaign. Why This Win Matters For Praggnanandhaa, this victory is more than just a rating milestone: It breaks a three-year Classical drought against his biggest contemporary rival. It strengthens India's case as the new powerhouse in world chess, with two players in the top five worldwide. It sets the tone for what could be the defining rivalry of the 2020s, much like Carlsen-Anand and Kasparov-Karpov of earlier eras. 'This start gives me confidence," Praggnanandhaa said, smiling. 'Last year at this event, I drew all nine games. This time, I wanted to change the story." view comments First Published: August 19, 2025, 09:01 IST News sports First Time in 3 Years, R Praggnanandhaa Topples D Gukesh in Classical Format Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Vikrant Massey on Independence Day: India's the place to be today, tomorrow, we're headed in right direction
He is in South America, shooting for White, we in India- but everything comes together for the love of the country. Here's presenting Vikrant Massey for our Independence Day special edition, posing for HT City in his first interview after winning the National Award for Best Actor for his 2023 hit 12th Fail. Actor Vikrant Massey poses for HT City in the middle of his shoot for White in South America. On his National Award shared with Shah Rukh Khan for Jawan, he tells us, 'I was very happy that I got it and that too for 12th Fail. A National Award is the highest form of validation or accolade any actor can get in India. I am happy that I shared it with Mr Shah Rukh Khan, yeh hum dono ka pehla National Award tha. It was a privilege to share it with him.' Also read: SRK, Rani Mukerji, Vikrant Massey win top honours As a kid, I-day felt like a bonus holiday from school, isn't it? During school it used to be one of the most special days! I used to always have aloo-poori with shreekhand and kheer. We would sleep till 8-8:30am, wake up to Ae Mere Watan by Lata Mangeshkar ji, it was our alarm. But as we grew up, I understood the significance of today. It's a great moment to reflect on what our forefathers have gone through to make our world. As a parent yourself now to a one-and-a-half year old son, how differently do you look at the day? As a father today, there are values I want to inculcate in my child: to value what our forefathers have gone through. We are a 76-year old free country, par aisi generation hai around me who don't know the significance. I hope I am able to inculcate in Vardhaan- the importance of togetherness, freedom, which we unfortunately take for granted today. I learnt much later in life that my maternal grandfather, during the Jallianwala Bagh massacre by General Dyer, was there and shot in the arm. He survived by hiding underneath a dead body. Partition ke waqt bhi jab Pakistan se India aaye the log apne desh mein… sarzameen ki value bachpan se di gayi hai humein, hearing all this. Are we headed in the right direction as a country? Absolutely. I feel India is the place to be. Fortunately, due to the nature of my job and after travelling the world, after all these years, I am able to very proudly say I am an Indian. India is the place to be in today, tomorrow and for years to come. In films, we have seen jingoism as a form of patriotism, with chest thumping and sloganeering rampant. Then there's patriotism which is internal and reflects in actions and thoughts, without wearing it on one's sleeve blatantly. Which is the correct definition of patriotism? Patriotism is a mixed bag of everything. Today we have come up with new terms like 'cancel culture'. My forefathers chest thumped about their patriotism. Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagat Singh all of them wore it on their sleeve. Apne desh se pyaar karna, kuchh vichaar karna, ya society mein aake vichaar vyakt karna, due to the cancel culture, that has been assigned different terminologies today. I don't feel it's right. Also, what you do for your country is equally important. We keep seeing in the news every now and then what our government and the country is doing for us. Why don't we ask what we are doing for the country? It could begin with the smallest of things. Afsos iss baat ka hota hai that our fellow countrymen, when outside the country for 10 days, will follow that particular country's rules and say, 'yeh desh kitna saaf hai'. They will use the zebra crossing… we don't want to follow that in our country. Kahin bhi kachra fenk dete hain. Har cheez ke liye sarkaar ya desh pe ungli nahi utha sakte.
