Charley Hull, Brooke Henderson, Lydia Ko qualify for LPGA team event International Crown
The new World Team for the LPGA's 2025 Hanwha Lifeplus International Crown has some of the game's most popular players on its four-person squad. Charley Hull's runner-up performance at the AIG Women's British Open qualified her for the team along with Lydia Ko, Brooke Henderson and Wei-Ling Hsu. The new World Team consists of the top-ranked player from each of the following four regions, not from a country already qualified: Europe, Asia and Africa/Oceania. "I'm excited. Obviously, I've never played the International Crown," said New Zealand's Ko, "so it's going to be a new one for me. I love team formats and it's kind of out of our comfort zone but I kind of love that. I think it's a great way to get to know my peers at the same time. For it to be in Korea, I think the fans are going to be very excited to see all of us there.' Two years ago when England qualified for the Crown as a team, both Hull and good friend Georgia Hall withdrew the weekend prior to the event, leaving officials to scramble at the last minute to replace them. Ladies European Tour players Alice Hewson and Liz Young flew from England to San Francisco to round out the four-player squad. Hull said at the time that she was suffering from a left foot injury sustained from running too much on concrete without warming up properly. The top 16 players in the world have qualified for the event, with golf's newest major champion, Miyu Yamashita, leading the way for Japan. The Japanese team has four players ranked inside the top 21 while Team USA, led by No. 2 Nelly Korda, has four players ranked inside the top 19. 'The International Crown is something I was aiming toward. I really, really wanted to be part of that team,' said Yamashita. 'So now that's a possibility I can really look forward to representing my country and doing the best I can.' All five major winners from 2025 are in the field, with both Japan and Australia having two each. Yealimi Noh, ranked 24th, was the first American left off the list. The event will be held in South Korea for a second time Oct. 23-26 at New Korea Country Club.

Lingerie Fighting Championships Up-lists to OTCID Following Successful UK Events
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lingerie Fighting Championships, Inc. ('LFC') (OTC Pink:BOTY) announced today that they have up-listed to the newly created OTCID market. In order to do so they had to meet all criteria including be fully SEC reporting, be in good standing with state and federal regulators, retain a recognized transfer agent and file a Company Verified Profile and Management Certification with the OTC. 'It was a lengthy process,' CEO Shaun Donnelly admits, 'but ultimately I thought it was worth the time to show our shareholders we're committed to transparency.' Last month, LFC did their first ever events in the UK and fans are still buzzing about them. LFC43: Sindependence Day 2 went down in London on the 4th of July at the historic Stanley Arts building. The sweat had barely dried on the canvas when the league was back in action just two nights later at the Vale Arena in Cardiff, Wales for LFC44: Underground Knockouts. 'Getting to do events in London and Cardiff was absolutely amazing,' Donnelly says. 'For many of our fighters it was a lifelong dream come true.' LFC43 in London was carried on live PPV in both the UK and the US and has already earned more money than any previous LFC event. 'I think the Team USA vs Team UK format really appealed to people,' Donnelly says. 'Even new fans who might not know any of our fighters had an instant cheering interest based on their nationality.' If you missed the live feed, you can still see the LFC43 replay on ToroTV and on LFC's site at (where LFC44 will debut on August 15). When asked if the league would ever consider returning to the UK, Donnelly gave a very enthusiastic affirmation, adding there are other countries he'd like to hold events as well. 'I think you could say the entire league has been bitten by the travel bug after these shows. I can't wait to see where we go next.' About Lingerie Fighting Championships Inc. Lingerie Fighting Championships Inc. is a sports entertainment company focused on producing unique mixed martial arts events for live audiences and television viewers featuring female fighters.

Kenny Bednarek hits out at Noah Lyles after shoving Olympic champion at trials
American sprinter Kenny Bednarek has branded compatriot Noah Lyles as 'unsportsmanlike' after the latter beat him to gold in the 200m event at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. The duo were racing in the 200m event at the annual championships in Oregon – with Lyles pipping his Team USA teammate to gold with a time of 19.63s – and were involved in a scuffle as they crossed the finish line, with Bednarek pushing Lyles and the pair exchanging words. "I tell you, if you've got a problem, I expect a call," Bednarek said in the post-race interview. "You know what, you're right. You're right. Let's talk after this,' replied Lyles. Speaking individually later on, Bednarek said: 'Like I've said before, Noah's going to be Noah. If he wants to stare me down, that's fine. "The summary is, don't do that to me," he said. "I don't do any of that stuff. It's not good character right there. That's pretty much it. At the end of the day, he won the race. I've got to give him props. He was the better man today. "What he said didn't matter, it's just what he did," Bednarek said. "Unsportsmanlike [expletive], and I don't deal with that. It's a respect factor. He's fresh. Last time we lined it up, I beat him, that's all I can say. Next time we line up, I'm going to win. That's all that matters,' he added. "On coach's orders, no comment,' said Lyles when asked about the incident. The result means that the pair face a rematch at the World Championships in Tokyo on 19 September, with Lyles a three-time defending world champion in his favourite event and the defending champion in the 100m too. And Bednrek said that the pair will 'go fresh and we'll see what happens' in Japan. 'I'm very confident I can beat him. That's all I can say,' he added.
