These Republicans are siding with Bruce Springsteen in fight with Trump
Some Republicans boast a strong loyalty to President Donald Trump — but an even greater loyalty to The Boss. Members of the political party, such as former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, have chosen to support Bruce Springsteen after the rock icon initiated a verbal sparring match with the president. 'The politics, if I take some hits — and I do take some hits — that's fine,' said Christie, who recently reached out to Springsteen in solidarity according to The Washington Post. The tiff began last month at a Springsteen concert in Manchester, England, when the Jersey-born artist stated that the United States was 'in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration.' He also encouraged the crowd to take action, asking 'all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring.' The president has responded via Truth Social multiple times, calling Springsteen 'dumb as a rock' and a 'dried out 'prune' of a rocker,' as well as sharing a video of him hitting a golf ball that's been edited to appear like the ball hits Springsteen and topples him over. Other Republican supporters include Chris Pack, a Republican operative who has worked for the National Republican Congressional Committee, and Mike Marinella, a spokesperson at the National Republican Congressional Committee. Per the Washington Post, Pack mentioned that there are 'a ton' of Republican Springsteen fans in Washington, but did not mention anyone by name, so as not to 'out people.' Similarly, when no member of New Jersey's congressional delegation responded to the Post's requests for comments about the matter — and neither did the top three politicians vying to be the Republican candidate in New Jersey's gubernatorial election — Pack hinted at them potentially being Springsteen fans. 'Don't wanna piss off The Boss,' he said.

Keyshawn Davis vs Denys Berinchyk fight time, ring walks
Keyshawn Davis has been touted as the future of the lightweight division ever since he entered the professional ranks in 2021, following a silver-medal winning performance at the 2020 Summer Olympics. This week he looks to cement that status in his first world title fight, taking on reigning WBO lightweight champion Denys Berinchyk in New York City. Only 13 fights into his career, it didn't take long for Davis to earn his first title shot, a far different story from Berinchyk, who waited nearly nine years for his first chance at a world title. Berinchyk won the belt in an upset over Emanuel Navarrete last May and Davis expects a tough test from the Ukrainian in his first defense. "He's undefeated and nobody wants to lose their unbeaten record," Davis told Top Rank last week. "He's coming off his biggest win, which was against Emanuel Navarrete. He also has a lot more experience than I do. And this isn't for a vacant title. I have to take it from him." Here's when Davis and Berinchyk are expected to enter the ring for their world title bout on Friday. Friday night's three-fight card from New York City kicks off at 8 p.m. (CT) on ESPN and ESPN+, with the main event ring walks expected to begin at approximately 10 p.m. (CT).
