Savannah Chrisley teases huge new collaboration with the Trumps after controversial pardon
Savannah Chrisley has revealed that her parents, Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley, will be giving their first interview to Lara Trump following their controversial pardon from president Donald Trump last month. The television personality, 27, also confirmed that she has joined her mom and dad for the on-screen interview – which is scheduled to air on Fox News – as well as her brother Grayson Chrisley, 19. Addressing her followers in a video uploaded to Instagram, Savannah said: 'Alright all, we are ready to go. 'We're going to do the Lara Trump Show, and I am so excited. Mom and dad are going to be on and here we go.' In a separate post, Savannah shared a picture from the green room which revealed cans of diet coke laid out on a table. 'Diet coke = filming with the Trumps,' she captioned the snap. President Trump is a well-known consumer of Coca-Cola products and even installed a special button in the White House during his first term that would have the beverage promptly delivered to him. Ahead of the interview, Lara also teased the exclusive chat in a post uploaded to her Instagram profile. In the brief clip, she revealed that her son, Luke, had made beaded bracelets for her to wear on the show. 'When your son makes you a bracelet and asks "can you wear it on @foxnews?" You wear it for your interview with @savannahchrisley @toddchrisley @juliechrisley & @graysonchrisley,' she captioned the upload. She added that the interview will air on Fox News on Saturday, June 28 at 9pm. Lara, who is married to Eric Trump, kicked off her new show My View with Lara Trump on the Fox News Channel in February. The 42-year-old wed her husband – who is the third child and second son of president Trump - in 2014 and are parents to two children: Luke and Carolina. Some fans were quick to express their anticipation for Lara's special segment with the Chrisleys. 'Can't wait for this interview!' one enthused. Another agreed, adding: 'So ready to see this interview! The bracelet is awesome. He could have a side business. We would all buy them. So sweet!' Savannah's parents Julie and Todd - best known for their reality show Chrisley Knows Best and its spin-offs - were convicted in 2022 of defrauding banks out of $30 million. Julie, 52, had been serving her seven-year prison sentence in Kentucky, while her husband Todd, 56, was serving his 12-year sentence in Florida. They couple were pardoned by Trump last month. Savannah played an instrumental role in her getting her parents a presidential pardon. Speaking at a press conference alongside her dad on May 30, she said she was 'relentless' in her mission to get her parents out. 'The biggest misconception right now is I either paid for a pardon or slept for a pardon,' Savannah told press. 'If people knew the countless hours, the money, and the time that I spent doing to [Washington] DC, with not a meeting scheduled, and got on a plane and said, "I'm going to be in the right room at the right time and meet the right people.'' She continued: 'I have fought hard and I was exhausted and I begged for meetings. 'I was never too good to ask and that's the thing. 'People think, you're a celebrity, you're white, you have money, that we got an upper hand, but we didn't. I had to fight, and I was relentless, and that's how it happened.'

Joshua Van: A Win Over Brandon Royval At UFC 317 Puts Me At No. 1
Joshua Van has accomplished a lot during his relatively short MMA career. At UFC 317, the 23-year-old tackles his biggest assignment yet when he faces No. 1 ranked UFC flyweight contender Brandon Royval on short notice at UFC 317. The news that Royval had lost his original opponent for UFC 317, which takes place on June 28 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, broke earlier this week when Kape revealed he suffered a broken foot during training. Royval was the one who informed fight fans that Van was stepping in on short notice as a replacement. Van was fresh off a TKO win over veteran UFC competitor Bruno Silva when he accepted the Royval fight. The Silva stoppage at UFC 316 gave Van a four-fight winning streak and moved him to the No. 10 spot in the official UFC 125-pound rankings. After his win at UFC 316, Van called for a fight against former UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno, who is ranked No. 2 in the division. 'If I win this fight, I'm No. 1," Van told Ariel Helwani. "No [UFC hasn't said that], but who am I supposed to fight next? If I beat the No. 1 guy, I'm the No. 1 [guy]. So that's what I'm thinking right now. 'The only reason I called out [Brandon] Moreno [after UFC 316] was because everyone in the top 15 had a matchup and stuff like that. It was just me and him that were left, and he said he wanted to fight on Noche UFC, I want to fight in Texas. But if they give me a title [fight after UFC 317], hell yeah, I'll take the title.' "When they called me Sunday, it's just an opportunity that I can't say no. I told the media I want to fight as soon as possible, so the UFC gave me a matchup, and I have to say yes,' Van added. The timing of the Royval vs. Van fight is excellent. The co-main event of UFC 317 finds the flyweight title on the line, as champion Alexandre Pantoja faces Kai Kara-France in that matchup. The winner of the Royval vs. Van fight, which is currently booked for the UFC 317 prelims, could determine who faces the winner of that Pantoja vs. Kara-France matchup. Van spoke about that fight. "Kai is a very powerful guy. So I feel like if Kai doesn't show him too much respect, I think he can get it done," Van said. "But if Pantoja bullies him in there, it's done. It's over. 'It would be ideal if I fight Pantoja because nobody's ever beaten him as the champion. So if I go out there and beat him, that would be [great]. May the best man win.' Royval faced Pantoja in a title fight in December 2023. Pantoja won that contest by decision. The two also faced each other in a non-title bout in August 2021. Pantoja earned a submission win in that scrap. Royval has a September 2020 submission win over Kara-France. We will have more on Royval vs. Van and the UFC 317 fight card as fight night approaches.

Jake Paul says he's ‘like Megan Fox from Transformers' and boxing's most wanted man with talks to fight SEVEN stars
JAKE PAUL says he is boxing's most wanted man - comparing himself to Megan Fox in the Transformers movies. The YouTuber-turned-boxer is only 12 bouts into his professional career but already has the sport's elite queuing up to earn a payday off him. 3 3 Paul is adamant he will one day challenge for the cruiserweight world title - putting champions Jai Opetaia, Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez and Badou Jack on notice. And ranking the trio, Paul said: "Zurdo and Jai are probably tied for No1 and I would say Badou is No2. "But all formidable opponents and we're in conversations with Zurdo and also Badou as potential fights for next year." Paul was probed on why he is not interested in talks for a fight with Australia's IBF champion and pound-for-pound star Opetaia. But like Hollywood's Fox - who became every teenager's dream girl after her 2007 breakout role - Paul argued he has too many suitors to contend with. He said: "No, there is. But look, I'm like Megan Fox from the Transformers movie - everyone wants me! "So there's not enough time to do it all and it could make sense. Look, it might. "It might line up but at the end of the day, there's 100 people that want to fight me." Paul, 28, returns on June 28 against former middleweight world Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39, in California on DAZN pay-per-view. It comes after mega-fights against Gervonta Davis, 30, and Canelo Alvarez, 34, collapsed but the world champs make Paul's seven-man shortlist of opponents. He said: "I got Canelo, Gervonta, Anthony Joshua, Badou, Zurdo, Tommy Fury, KSI, the list keeps on going. "So it's just about what makes sense and we'll see." Paul's last fight was as controversial as it was commercially successful. He beat Mike Tyson - returning aged 58 after 20 YEARS retired - over eight rounds with over 100 MILLION watching on Netflix. But it also came at the cost of Paul bulking up to 227lb (16st 2lb) from his usual 14st 4lb cruiserweight fighting limit of 200lb. And Paul admitted: "It was brutal, and I won't do that again most likely. It was just too much and my body wasn't made for it. "And even when I got into the ring, I just felt too fat. So cruiserweight is definitely the perfect weight for me." He drops back down in weight to fight Chavez, son of Mexican boxing icon Julio Cesar Sr. And Paul added: "Chavez and I have been going back and forth for a long time and he's always been a great opponent on the list of someone that I wanted to fight. "And now it made perfect sense to go up against him as a former world champion and just continuing to further my resume and get more time under the lights." 3
