Pumped up Eddie Hearn leads sing-song as Katie Taylor has her say
A jovial Eddie Hearn kickstarted a sing-song in honour of Katie Taylor after her impressive victory against Amanda Serrano, and the Bray boxer only had nice things to say about his singing abilities. The pair teamed up in 2016 after Taylor inquired about turning pro. They have spent a remarkable nine years working together, during which time he has helped promote Taylor to become one of the biggest names in boxing. Throughout her professional career, Hearn has been ever-present with Team Taylor and walked out of Madison Square Garden on Friday night with a tri-colour draped around his neck. And after her win, an ecstatic Hearn led the famous Ole, ole, ole chant while wearing an Irish-branded bucket hat. Hearn playfully then put on an Irish accent, which Taylor described as 'spot on'. Hearn was less ecstatic when asked about Netflix's scoring of the event. The streaming giant scored the bout as a draw, but Taylor was scored a 97-93 winner on two of the three scorecards. "I mean, if you want to listen to Netflix scoring it 95-95 .... How can you give Serrano five rounds?" he told IFL. "If I was really, really, really generous, I give her three rounds. And after the seventh round, she was kind of... she was so deflated, she couldn't win a round. "Katie's feet were too fast, it was an absolute schooling. "Just a complete masterclass, so proud of her, she's the greatest female fighter of all time, 3-0." Taylor said post-fight that she still has dreams about fighting in Croke Park, and that seems like one of the few reasons Taylor has to fight again. Now 39, she ended the trilogy in the most convincing of fashions. A trilogy bout against Chantelle Cameron could possibly be her next move but Taylor did say she would take time to decide her future.

Retired UFC fighter Tim Kennedy apologizes after admitting to lying about military accolade
Retired UFC fighter Tim Kennedy issued an apology after admitting that he lied about a specific military accolade he never actually received during his years of service. A popular YouTube channel hosted by retired Green Beret Nathan Cornacchia posted a video where Kennedy claimed in an interview from 2017 that he won a Bronze Star with Valor after describing a scenario where he took down a 'bad guy' during a conflict in one of his tours of duty. In the past, Kennedy stated that he never publicly claimed that he won a Bronze Star with Valor, which is a very specific military award handed out for 'participation in acts of heroism involving conflict with an armed enemy.' Advertisement After Cornacchia posted the video, featuring the interview with Kennedy claiming he was given the Bronze Star with Valor and telling a story about what led to the award, the 45-year-old veteran issued a lengthy apology about misrepresenting himself and the awards he claimed during his military service. 'I want to take full and unequivocal responsibility for a serious mistake,' Kennedy wrote on Instagram. 'Over the years, I made public statements and gave interviews in which I unintentionally misstated aspects of my military service. Most notably, I implied directly or indirectly that I had been awarded the Bronze Star with Valor. That is not true, and there is no excuse for it. I never received that honor, and I deeply regret ever suggesting otherwise. That kind of recognition is sacred. It represents extraordinary courage under fire acts that risk or cost lives. To those who truly earned it, and to their families and brothers-in-arms, I offer my sincere and direct apology. What I said disrespected your service, and I take full ownership of that. 'I was young when I stepped into the public eye, and while I wasn't prepared for the scrutiny or pressure that came with it, that doesn't absolve me. I should have known better. Integrity is not situational, and I failed to uphold the standards I claimed to represent. To the military and veteran community, especially those who've served in combat or lost people they love. I am deeply sorry. I know I've let many of you down. You had every right to expect more from me, and I didn't live up to that.' Kennedy, who fought in the UFC five times after spending most of his career competing in organizations like Strikeforce and the IFL, promised to hold himself a higher standard moving forward. Advertisement 'This apology is not the end, it's the beginning,' Kennedy wrote. 'I am committed to rebuilding trust through honest reflection, visible accountability, and ongoing service to the community I misrepresented myself to. I will no longer speak about my service in a way that elevates me beyond what I actually did. 'From now on, my words will be guided by truth, humility, and respect. I understand that words alone don't heal disappointment or restore trust. Only time and action will. Thank you to those who have held me accountable. I will do my best to honor that accountability from this point forward.' The apology still didn't land with other members of the military community including another ex-Green Beret named Alex Theodosis, who blasted Kennedy for the way he worded his apology. 'Tim, your entire public persona and the lies that you've told are anything but 'unintentional,'' Theodosis wrote on Instagram. 'None of what you've crafted was by accident. The web of lies you've spun since 2007 have all been intentional and with the purpose of fame and money. When you were asked point blank about having a BSM-V, that would have been the perfect time to clear the record. Instead, you very intentionally lied about not only having the award but continued the lie with a made up story to reinforce your lie. Advertisement 'This ChatGPT crafted non-apology is a clear cut case of 'I'm not sorry I did it, I'm sorry that I got caught.' Barely glazing over one of your many lies and promising to 'do better' doesn't even scratch the surface of what the veteran community and the [Special Forces] Regiment deserve from you.' More from

Penny stock under ₹5 jumps after THIS business expansion move. Details here
Shares of penny stock IFL Enterprises surged nearly 3 percent in intra-day trade on Thursday, July 3, after the company informed exchanges about a strategic board meeting scheduled for July 17, 2025. The meeting will evaluate potential expansion into two high-demand verticals: Organic Waste Management & Recycling and Green Energy Powerplant Contracting. In an exchange filing, IFL Enterprises said, 'The Board of Directors of the company will convene a meeting to discuss potential expansion into new business verticals. The key agenda items include the company's entry into Organic Waste Management & Recycling and Green Energy Powerplant Contracting.' The company's move is in line with its broader strategy to diversify its revenue streams and align itself with global sustainability trends. IFL stated that both sectors offer promising growth potential and are expected to provide robust returns over the long term. The company sees substantial opportunity in the organic waste management sector, which is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10–12 percent over the next five years. The initiative will focus on waste-to-energy solutions and reducing landfill and pollution levels. 'Entering this space would allow IFL Enterprises to contribute meaningfully to sustainability while creating dual revenue streams from recycling and energy generation,' the company said. The renewable energy sector continues to attract global investments estimated to exceed $200 billion in the coming years. IFL plans to explore contracting services for solar and wind energy facilities. 'By offering design, construction, and operational services for green energy projects, the company aims to tap into one of the fastest-growing global sectors,' it added. The July 17 board meeting will include a comprehensive feasibility assessment, evaluating investment requirements, market potential, and long-term financial implications of the proposed ventures. If approved, IFL Enterprises expects these expansions could open up a market opportunity worth over ₹ 500 crore annually in the renewable and waste management space. 'We believe these strategic expansions would significantly enhance IFL Enterprises' growth prospects and provide meaningful value to our shareholders,' the company stated, promising to keep investors and exchanges informed of developments. The stock jumped as much as 2.7 percent to hit a day's high of ₹ 1.11. It currently trades over 26 percent below its 52-week high of ₹ 1.51, hit in July 2024. The stock had touched a 52-week low of ₹ 0.56 in March 2025. Despite a 30 percent decline over the past year, the stock has shown signs of revival in recent months. It rallied over 25 percent in June, after jumping 41.4 percent in May and 11 percent in April. Prior to that, it was on a losing streak for three consecutive months—down 20 percent in March, 16.7 percent in February, and 8 percent in January.
