Nikita Tszyu to make long-awaited boxing comeback in August
Nikita Tszyu will make his long awaited return to the ring on August 20, nearly exactly a year after his last fight, and just in time for a proposed showdown with Michael Zerafa later in the year. Tszyu has been out of action since his August 28, 2024 fight of the year win over Koen Mazoudier. The 27-year-old had surgery on tendons in his hand following that dramatic ninth round stoppage win, and suffered a series of setbacks in his recovery. Tszyu then welcomed the birth of his first child, a daughter named Curiosity, last week, but will be fit and firing to return next month. Tszyu has been linked to a fight with Zerafa later in the year. That bout would likely be at middleweight, with Zerafa eyeing up a WBA world title fight if he wins. It has been a hectic year for Nikita already. 'The Butcher' was married in a lowkey ceremony in January, and was initially scheduled to return to the ring in May in Sydney, before those plans were shelved. He was then slated to fight in Cairns last week, but that was put on ice as well. Instead, Nikita will fight exactly one month after older brother Tim's must-win world title rematch against Sebastian Fundora in Las Vegas. No opponent has been confirmed, but several names are in the mix. Meanwhile, Melbourne and Sydney are possible destinations the fight could be held. 'The Butcher is back, baby,' No Limit boss George Rose said. 'You don't know what you've got until it's gone, and we've all been craving Nikita Tszyu. 'He's special. He's unique. He's must-see TV. 'Nikita's style, energy and chaos is unlike anything else in the sport. 'Now he's healthy, he's focused, and he's ready to bring that unmissable all-action brand of boxing back. 'Nikita Tszyu is not just a fighter, he's an experience. 'And the timing couldn't be better with Tim heading to Las Vegas to bring home the WBC belt against Fundora. 'Then just a few weeks later, Nikita steps back in for what's shaping as one of the biggest months in the history of Australian boxing. 'This is a huge month. For the sport. For the fan. And for the Tszyu name.'

Drake mercilessly roasted for ‘fake' six-pack abs: ‘Arms and chest sold separately'
The internet mercilessly trolled Drake for his 'fake' abs after the rapper shared a shirtless mirror selfie showcasing his ultra-chiselled midsection. In the snapshot, the Nokia hitmaker revealed his glistening six-pack and tattoos while posing behind a stocked bar. He also shared a brief video clip of himself jogging shirtless down a park path. 'I'm wide awake for the nights that separate the type who get to it til they get it right from the type who just … type,' the Grammy-winning artist captioned the post on the weekend. But sceptical followers took to the comments to jokingly speculate about how the rapper achieved his dramatically toned waistline. 'Ordered abs from temu n forgot to add shoulders n [triceps] lol,' one person quipped, while another mocked, 'Boy stop playing! The only place you ran was to the surgeon.' 'Arms and chest sold separately,' a third wrote, while a fourth bluntly claimed, 'Those are fake.' 'The abs do not match the body,' yet another observed, while someone else wondered, 'Arm definition surgery is next month?' 'I just came here for the comments and they sure as hell delivered …,' another user noted of the public roasting. Adding fuel to the speculation, plastic surgery Instagram account @surgeonmade_curves reposted the photo, claiming in the caption that Drake, 38, 'did it again.' The account alleged that the Canadian rapper, who consistently shares content from his workouts on social media, is 'no stranger to the surgery table.' 'This man be too hype to show them abs/body and gives it away every single time,' they claimed. Drake was previously labelled 'BBL Drizzy' by fellow rapper Rick Ross following rumours the Degrassi star underwent a Brazilian butt lift and other cosmetic procedures. But this latest shirtless selfie isn't the first time Drake has made a provocative play for attention. Ahead of rival Kendrick Lamar's showstopping Super Bowl halftime show in February, the Hotline Bling rapper was spotted in an eyebrow-raising outfit while stepping out in Australia. The Toronto-born MC rocked a suggestive T-shirt with the words, 'Wait till u see my,' with an arrow pointing downward to his privates. He added bright yellow shorts and accessorised with a blue beanie hat and blue cowboy boots for the outing to Gibney restaurant Down Under.
