'Biggest fight in Irish history' as gym goes from strength to strength

Andy Lee will get to work with Paddy Donovan over the coming weeks as the southpaw aims to become only the second Limerick man after his coach to win a world title. Donovan and Lewis Crocker clash in 'the biggest fight in Irish history' this September after their March bout ended in controversy when the Limerick man was disqualified for striking his opponent after the bell had sounded at the end of the eighth round. 'The Real Deal' looked to be cruising to victory against the Belfast man up until that point and he will come into the rematch as the big favourite as a result. And while Lee admits confidence will be high in the Donovan camp, he says they will have to be 'on the ball' and show Crocker 'something different'. "It's all done, yeah. Done and dusted. It's a world title fight," Lee told the Irish Mirror. "Just waiting for the venue to be confirmed, but it's the biggest fight in Irish history. "It's unreal. The first fight was sensational. What an atmosphere. This time it's going to be even bigger." He added: "We will be confident but that could be a pitfall. We have to be on the ball and show them something different this time." It was confirmed last week that the IBF world welterweight title will be on the line after Jaron Ennis vacated the belt to move up in weight class. Lewis Crocker and Paddy Donovan It is understood that the bout has been pencilled in for Saturday, September 6, with either Windsor Park or the SSE Arena in Belfast to host the bout, with a decision expected soon. There's a huge buzz around Ballybrack Boxing Club after their newest fighter, Hamzah Sheeraz, landed a stunning knockout win over Edgar Berlanga in New York last weekend. Sheeraz is the latest of a number of stars to base themselves with Lee in Dublin and their decision to train in Ireland is helping numerous young fighters coming through. "There's so much going for Irish boxing between Katie last week and Paddy, the young star, coming up and all these young guys coming through," said Lee. "Ballybrack is there and they can come to my gym, get their experience, move around with the big pros of the world." He continued: "Ballybrack is turning into one of the best gyms in the world now with (Joseph) Parker, (Ben) Whittaker, (Paddy) Donovan, Hamzah Sheeraz, Jim Donovan, some great fighters out there. "Kian (Hedderman) has sparred every single one of them. We had Kevin Cronin in last week, we've had all these young lads, we've had the two brothers, Jude and Jake Fitzgerald from Dungarvan in. We've had all the young lads in mine, all you've got to do is call or text me and if there's sparring for them, if there's someone in their weight, they can spar them."

The cosmetics billionaire, the rock star, and a series of very mysterious property deals in prime Palm Beach

Nestled along an idyllic beachfront street in Palm Beach, Florida, lie a series of multi-million dollar mansions, each one draped in shrubbery to protect the privacy of their wealthy, sometimes world-famous, residents. As if the day-to-day curiosity about the homeowners wasn't enough, one particular block of properties is currently being targeted by an ultra-wealthy but mysterious buyer seemingly looking to create an enormous compound. Between February and June, the buyer has spent an estimated $250 million to $350 million on approximately four properties that form a square on North Ocean Boulevard, located just five miles from President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago golf club. Two of the properties were purchased from William Launder, heir to the Estée Lauder Companies. Another was bought from Cathleen Black, the former chairwoman of Hearst Magazine, and her husband, Thomas Harvey. Rumors suggest that the buyer is also eyeing a neighboring property that belongs to rock musician Jon Bon Jovi — who has so far refused to sell. The buyer is reportedly billionaire and former Microsoft employee Charles Simonyi, according to The Real Deal and New York Post, although he has not confirmed that and it's unclear what is planned for the mega-property. Simonyi, 76, is a Hungarian–American engineer, Martha Stewart's ex-boyfriend, and space enthusiast who served as the chief architect during the development of Microsoft Word and Excel. With an estimated net worth of $8.48 billion, Simonyi has used his vast wealth to continue advancing technology and supporting educational programs. He's also used some of it to support mostly Republican candidates over the years, including $2,700 to Trump in 2016 and $200,000 to his 2020 campaign. Palm Beach, where Trump's sprawling, but questionably valued, Mar-a-Lago residence is located, has become the nucleus of the MAGA movement. Florida itself has also become a central hub for Republicans, rapidly losing its status as a swing-state when Trump rose to political prominence. The estate on North Ocean Boulevard would be a short 15-minute car ride to the president's golf club, although it's unclear Simonyi plans to spend any time there. Mostly, it appears Simonyi's money goes toward establishing a comfortable lifestyle. In 1997, Simonyi upgraded his 21,000 square foot home in Medina, Washington to become a smart home, an early proponent of the technology alongside his neighbors in the Seattle suburbs, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates. The billionaire's mansion Villa Simonyi is immediately recognizable with an intensely modern exterior that contains no right angles, and includes an art gallery and boat dock. Now, he appears to be targeting Palm Beach with his real estate investments, sources confirmed to The Real Deal. The Independent has reached out to Simonyi for comment. In a hush-hush purchase, the unnamed buyer reported to be Simonyi reportedly shelled out nearly $200 million to Lauder for 2.8 acres of prime beachfront property with 360-degree views of the ocean back in February. Lauder, 65, served in executive positions at Estée Lauder until 2009 when he stepped down as CEO. He now serves as executive chairman in the family beauty business. He is estimated to be worth $1.5 billion. Lauder had been sitting on the land, which was made up of two lots, for several years. Initially purchased in 2021, the cosmetics heir demolished what was once a monstrous home, intending to use it for himself before choosing to put it on the market for a whopping $177 million, according to The Wall Street Journal. For nearly two years, the valuable plots sat empty on the palm-tree-lined street in Palm Beach before the unnamed buyer approached Lauder with an offer he couldn't refuse — although it's unclear exactly how much was paid. The sale was made confidentially, so deed records aren't available online. The only indication of the lofty price was when the Lauder's agent, Ryan Serhant, a real estate mogul with his own Netflix TV show, made a cryptic Instagram Story the day before news of the sale dropped. 'Sold and closed the most expensive home of my entire career today for just under $200 [million]. And I did the deal over the phone,' Serhant wrote, according to Bravo TV. The Independent has reached out to Serhant for comment. Months after the quiet deal was made, the unnamed buyer reached out to the neighbors across the street who owned a 3,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style mansion, offering four times the amount that they initially paid for it. The owners, publishing pioneer Black and lawyer Harvey, handed over the deed to 1066 N. Ocean Blvd., a home they purchased in 2018 for roughly $4 million, in exchange for $18 million. Public records indicate the purchaser was listed as Creekshore LLC, a limited liability company incorporated in Delaware back in May. The LLC's address is tied to Rabideau and Klein, a real estate law firm with an office in Palm Beach. The firm, which specializes in high-end residential real estate, declined to comment for this story. Harvey told the Wall Street Journal he did not know the identity of the buyer but that they made an unsolicited offer on his home. Weeks later, 1072 N. Ocean Blvd., a terracotta-roofed home located next to Black and Harvey's, was purchased for $30 million – six times the amount that the previous owners bought it for in 2017. This time, Mango Leaf LLC, a limited liability company also incorporated in Delaware in May, was listed as the buyer. However, the address associated with the LLC is tied to a residential home in Vero Beach, Florida. Once again, Rabideau appeared to be involved in the deal, representing a trust that previously owned the home. Given the home is located next door to the most recent purchase, and across the street from Lauder's former home, it seems likely they are connected. The alleged buyer appears dedicated to snatching up the neighborhood homes and has reportedly inquired with the neighbors who live on either side of the property purchased from Lauder, South Florida Business & Wealth reported. But he may have run into some issues, specifically with one famous neighbor: Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi, 63, purchased the $43 million home in 2020. He moved from his home state, New Jersey, to the seven bedroom, 12-bathroom mansion designed by famed architect Thomas Kirchhoff, complete with columns, arches, marble and stunning ocean views. It's no wonder, when asked if he'd be willing to sell it, the 'Livin' on a Prayer' singer has reportedly resisted efforts. A spokesperson for Bon Jovi declined to comment. There are no public documents that state Simonyi is the buyer, though the Wall Street Journal, New York Post, and The Real Deal all named him as the likely buyer. Incorporation records of the LLCs, reviewed by the Wall Street Journal, indicate Creekshore LLC and Mango Leaf LLCs are tied to Seattle-based lawyer, Greyson Blue. Blue works for K&L Gates, a law firm with ties to billionaire Bill Gates through his late father. He also previously worked for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Simonyi was the 40th employee of Gates' Microsoft. The Independent has reached out to Blue for comment. Sources familiar with the situation told the Journal that Gates is not the buyer of the Palm Beach properties. While Simonyi is widely believed to be the buyer, it's unclear what he plans to do with the land he's been snapping up. He could merge the properties to create a massive compound, similar to his Washington residence. That would rival others nearby – such as those located on 'Billionaire's Row' on South Ocean Boulevard or Trump's own Mar-a-Lago residence. He could be looking to create the newest high-tech home, embodying his work in the field. Or he could be looking to take up residence in Florida due to it's financial benefits and political alignment. While Simonyi has not stated his political beliefs publicly, his recent donations to Republican John Barrasso and the National Republican Senatorial Committee indicate he'd likely be content with the state's politics.

Andy Lee's rise as a boxing coach as Hamzah Sheeraz aims to put on a show

Andy Lee saw it all as a fighter. Huge success, devastating heartbreak, the Olympic Games, world champion status and countless ups and downs along the way. This week, Lee is back in New York, a city he lived in for a time and where he fought in five times as a professional. His last fight came in the Big Apple eight years ago when he beat KeAndrae Leatherwood at Madison Square Garden, the same venue as Katie Taylor's trilogy fight with Amanda Serrano in the early hours of this morning. But this time he is back in New York as a coach and an exceptional one at that, having learned from one of the best in Emanuel Steward. His newest fighter Hamzah Sheeraz, headlines an historic event at the Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, the famous US Open Tennis venue, tonight against New York native Edgar Berlanga. Undefeated with 21 wins and a split-decision draw in his last fight, against Carlos Adames for the WBC world middleweight title, the Englishman is having his first fight under Lee, who he joined earlier this year. "I've never got along with a coach like I have with Andy," said the 26-year-old, who is moving up to super-middleweight for the fight. "It's really easy. I do what he says, even outside the ring when we go for walks or whatnot. He's a good guy." Sheeraz is the latest fighter to move to the Dublin-based coach and joins Ben Whittaker in doing so, who landed a stunning second round knockout win over Liam Cameron back in April in his first fight under Lee. The win came six months after Whittaker drew with the same opponent after injuring himself in the sixth round in what he admitted himself was a poor performance. "I've got so much to thank Andy Lee for," Whittaker said after the fight. "A lot of people after a fight like that washed their hands of me but Andy came and said 'I know what you got inside you, come to Ireland and let me show you what you can do'. And that's what we did." Lee decided to become a coach after seeing a young Paddy Donovan in the amateur ranks. 'The Real Deal' looked to be cruising to victory against Lewis Crocker back in March when he was disqualified in controversial circumstances for hitting the Belfast man after the bell had sounded. Donovan and Croker are set to meet again in September, with the IBF world welterweight title on the line this time. "Andy was really a life changer when it came to it," said Donovan of his coach. "Amateur boxing is a sport where you work so hard and you dedicate your life for no money, no financial success. "To be married quite young and have kids, turn professional, gives you a big opportunity. Andy's helped me in that path. He's made very, very good decisions for me and he's certainly got some good paydays and good sponsors." But what makes Lee so special as a coach? "Andy's simplicity is key, said Jason Quigley, who was one of the first fighters to work under him. "He doesn't over-complicate things. He keeps things very simple, very straight down the middle. "At the end of the day, that's what works. If you get in there and you can do three things very, very well, you're going to be very hard to beat." Lee has also made great friendships and linked with key people throughout his careers as a fighter and a coach, working with heavyweights Tyson Fury and Joseph Parker. New York is where he met solicitor Keith Sullivan, who he hired to settle a legal issue. Sullivan now co-manages Donovan with Lee and was key in them winning an appeal with the IBF over the result of the Crocker fight. Nutritionist George Lockhart has also become a key part of Lee's team, with Donovan describing the ex-US marine as 'a big game changer' ahead of his fight with Crocker. "George has been exceptional. I've learned so much, absorbed so much, learned so much about food and what my body needs to intake and to rehydrate properly. Look, George speaks for himself, he's one of the best in the world." Fury, Conor McGregor and Jon Jones are among the other fighters Lockhart has worked with. Lee had exceptional guidance as a fighter, living with the great Emanuel Steward in Detroit, before becoming the first Irishman since 1934 to win a world title in America under another great boxing brain in Adam Booth in 2014. Lee lived with Stewart in Detroit and fought out of the famous Kronk Gym, with Wladimir Klitschko among his former gym mates. He also worked with Sugar Hill, Steward's nephew, who trains Fury. As an amateur, Lee worked with Zaur Antia and Billy Walsh when training with Team Ireland at the High Performance Unit. And his rising stock as a coach is doing wonders for Irish boxing and young professionals. "It's a great lift for Ireland to be seeing the likes of these, you know, you can call some of them superstars coming to Ireland to train and be down at the 40 foot going for dip," said Quigley, who is now working as a boxing manager. "Kian Hedderman is a young kid that I manage and look after and he is reaping the rewards of Andy taking these fighters in because he's in, he's sparred Joseph Parker, he's been in camp with him, he's sparred Ben Whittaker, been in camp with him and now he's sparred Hamzah Sheeraz and been in camp with him for this fight. "It is unbelievable and Andy's got that real good way about him that he wants to give back as well to the people of Irish boxing and give opportunities because he knows how difficult this game can be." So what is Lee expecting from his newest fighter tonight? "What I've been working on with him is his balance, being ready and present. I was shocked by how hard he hits. He added: "He's a massive puncher, Hamzah. I wasn't aware of that before I trained him. But now he is a real (puncher). I anticipate him doing well in the fight. I think he'll earn [Edgar] Berlanga's respect. Once he does that, once he's settled into the fight, it will be anyone's fight."

The end of a bitter rivalry in New York will surely mark the beginning of a beautiful friendship

AS THE PUBLIC portion of Wednesday's press conference began to wind down, Katie Taylor did something she had never done before in her 25-fight professional career: she took a shot at her opponent unprompted. Amanda Serrano, responding to an English journalist's query as to how she regrouped from her galling defeat to Taylor in their second fight last November, had just given an uplifting spiel about how 'you only lose if you feel like you've lost', and 'my team told me I didn't lose'. A smirking Taylor gazed across the stage at her rival, leant into her microphone, and punctuated the Puerto Rican cheers. 'But you did lose the fight,' Taylor told her rival. 'You did lose it.' Cue guttural cheers from a sizeable Irish contingent at the back of MSG's Theater. Serrano fell silent, staring into space and consciously tuning it out. It was a Taylor round, but as has become typical of the two greatest female fighters on the planet, it was tough to split them over the 20 minutes. Katie Taylor. Gary Carr / INPHO Gary Carr / INPHO / INPHO Serrano has for years stirred the 'divil' in Taylor that we rarely see in public. The Irishwoman has enjoyed goading her career-long nemesis since as far back as 2017. But Taylor has let it loose for this trilogy bout. She has rarely seemed more socially at ease in these contrived settings than when she routinely reminds Serrano that she's 2-0 up in their rivalry despite The Real Deal's gripes with the judges' verdicts in their previous meetings. 'Opinions are opinions but facts are facts,' Taylor told her opponent earlier in Wednesday's presser, 'and you can't get away from those facts.' None of which is to suggest that Taylor has suddenly begun to embrace the self-promotional side of her job. Towards the end of the public presser, when MC Ariel Helwani received consecutive curt responses from a couple of the undercard boxers, he declared that 'the time for talking is probably over'. Taylor nodded enthusiastically at front of stage. Afterwards, this writer jokingly asked the Bray woman how she had so quickly become one of the nastiest trash talkers in boxing history. 'Me?' said Taylor, feigning astonishment with her hand on her chest. 'I actually still hate these things, to be honest,' she laughed. 'I'm not a natural trash talker. 'But I don't think it's trash talk,' Taylor clarified. 'I'm just responding to what's being said. Enough is enough of the nonsense, and all the complaining and whining about decisions in fights. Enough is enough of that. 'I don't mind speaking my mind when I have to.' And yet it increasingly feels inevitable that once the air has cleared between them beyond Friday, Taylor and Serrano will go the way of so many of their sport's great rivals and allow their blood bond to blossom into something resembling friendship. Interspliced between several feisty verbal exchanges were conciliatory moments and marks of respect. When the time for talking was indeed over, a fairly intense face-off was eventually broken by Serrano, who burst into laughter and just about stopped short of embracing Taylor, gently patting her on the hip. Taylor, too, saw the funny side: there appeared a mutual acknowledgement that they had stared each other down a couple of times too often since 2022 for any psychological edge to be established at this stage. The champion, though, did subsequently hold three fingers aloft for the cameras, signalling her intention to make it a hat-trick against her fellow generational talent. Taylor and Serrano following their staredown. Gary Carr / INPHO Gary Carr / INPHO / INPHO Friday's trilogy bout has been billed by Netflix as 'One Final Fight' between them and when it was put to Serrano that a fourth instalment might be in order should she slay her white whale, the Puerto Rican laughed: 'Nah, I don't think so. I'm kinda tired of Katie Taylor. 'We've had great moments together, we've had great fights together,' Serrano added. 'But hey, two (wins) is better than one, right? She'll have two and I'll have one. She can live with that!' Questions from the floor at these events are typically more miss than hit. There was something of a collective guffaw when one particular Latin American gentleman, sporting more New York Yankees gear than a New York Yankee, began his address by saying, 'Katie. Amanda. Check this out…' Little did we know that he was about to pull a rabbit from beneath his baseball cap. Advertisement He put it to Friday's protagonists that before Puerto Rican boxing legend Felix 'Tito' Trinidad and American great Ronald 'Winky' Wright met in the middle in Las Vegas just over 20 years ago, they made a bet in which the loser would be forced to host the winner for a few days and teach them the language and culture of their homeland. 'Would you be willing to make the same promise,' the man asked Taylor and Serrano, 'and would you be willing to shake hands on it on stage right now?' This proposition united the boxers' respective fanbases in cheers and laughter. Taylor and Serrano, too, were in stitches. It was an inspired gear-change in that it immediately reduced a pair of grandstanding superheroes to normal, awkward human beings. 'Listen, we could have dinner together and learn about each other's [cultures],' Serrano laughed. 'I've gotten to know a lot about Katie. She has an amazing family and an amazing team. Unless she wants to come learn some Spanish and eat some good food — we have good food in Puerto Rico!' 'I'd love to go to Puerto Rico,' Taylor beamed. 'Do you wanna do that shake?' she added, her hand outstretched. 'But Ireland is so far!' Serrano responded. 'How far is Ireland?' 'Well, about a seven-hour flight,' Taylor said. 'Ah, no,' Serrano countered. 'Mine is about three hours — a three-and-a-half-hour flight. Mine is a lot closer.' 'Thank you, ladies,' said the real star of the night, who handed off the mic and immediately exited the premises, his mission evidently complete. Gary Carr / INPHO Gary Carr / INPHO / INPHO Taylor and Serrano enjoyed moments of levity amid the verbal barbs. Gary Carr / INPHO Gary Carr / INPHO / INPHO Eight months earlier at the equivalent press conference in Dallas, Jake Paul had gone around the houses and asked each undercard boxer who they were backing to win his inevitably sham fight with Mike Tyson. He dared his drastically less well-off detractors to bet their purses that Tyson would win, shaking their hands when they uncomfortably acquiesced. In fairness to Paul, while it does little to disprove that he's the antichrist, he did not follow through on those bets, instead acknowledging the crudeness of his antics after he shadow-boxed his way to a points victory over a 58-year-old friend with whom he had holidayed the previous summer. Still, the comparative authenticity of Wednesday night felt antidotal, as though the lingering poison from Paul's Cowboys Stadium clown-show had been washed out of our systems at last. And credit where it's due: Paul himself contributed to that cleanse by contributing virtually nothing on the night. The 28-year-old and his MVP Promotions outfit will again run the show on Friday night in conjunction with Netflix, but he was a mostly passive observer as Taylor and Serrano held the floor on Pennsylvania Plaza. When the YouTuber-turned-boxer did speak briefly with media afterwards, he refused to entertain any questions about his own boxing career, asking reporters to instead inquire only about Serrano, Taylor, or the boxers on their all-female undercard, several of whom he now promotes and will earn career-biggest paydays on Friday night. Still, MVP boxer Serrano will enjoy some of the A-side perks when she faces Taylor for a third time: the bout will this time be contested at a 136-pound limit (all of Taylor's 140lb titles will remain in play), which suits the slightly smaller Puerto Rican. But that's no skin off Taylor's nose, either — or at least it shouldn't come to that; she's rarely much more than 140 pounds even during her downtime, and she has campaigned for most of her career at 135. Taylor will be announced first by the MC come fight night, too, which is typically the role of the challenger rather than the champion. 'I don't really care about any of that stuff,' she said from stage on Wednesday. 'My mindset does not change. This stuff is just nonsense, really.' In a subsequent media scrum, she would describe Serrano's demand to walk out second as 'embarrassing', reiterating that the Puerto Rican is 'not the champion'. But don't rule out some grub in Brooklyn or San Juan just yet. 'I think even off camera right now, when nobody is around, we have great conversations as well,' Taylor said of Serrano. 'Obviously, when the press conference is going on, things are said. Those are the things that are highlighted. 'We definitely have a lot of mutual respect towards each other and I think she's a fantastic person.'

Hugh Jackman Lists $38.9M NYC Penthouse After Agreeing To Split The Proceeds With Ex-Wife Amid Divorce — It Once Rented For $125K A Month

Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. As actor Hugh Jackman and his wife of three decades, Deborra-Lee Furness, finalize their divorce, the former couple has started to put some of their assets up for sale — including a vast 11,000-square-foot New York triplex, just listed for $38.9 million, according to The Real Deal. The couple purchased the sprawling West Village home, which boasts views of the Hudson River, in 2008 for $21 million. However, they have not lived in it for some time, instead renting it out for $125,000 per month, The Real Deal reports. The couple previously attempted to sell the home in 2022 for the same price it is now listed for, before deciding to rent it.

GoSun's Breakthrough Rooftop EV Charger Already Has 2,000+ Units Reserved — Jackman and Furness also own another New York condo in Chelsea, according to The Real Deal, although that is not currently listed. The West Village condo is the first of their assets to be sold following their divorce agreement but it might not be the last. In 2015, Jackman and Furness purchased a 7,300-square-foot, three-bedroom, five-bathroom home in East Hampton, New York for $3.5 million, a year before buying a $5.9 million home in Australia, which reports Jackman is believed to be taking over. Rather than play out a messy divorce in public, Jackman and Furness chose to go through the process behind closed doors. The Daily Mail estimates that the couple had a net worth of $250 million to divvy up in the divorce, the details of which have now been resolved.

Jackman's star appeal has proven invaluable to Broadway, too. He starred in "The Music Man' alongside his current partner, Foster Sutton, from December 2021 through January 2023. Jackman has been involved in several business ventures outside his career. He founded Laughing Man Coffee Company, a fair-trade coffee business with two cafés in downtown New York. He is, however, no longer involved in the enterprise. 'I did not set out to make a coffee company. I saw an opportunity to make a difference in the world with an exceptional coffee that gives back to the communities that grow it,' he told CEO World in 2021. Along with his "Deadpool & Wolverine" co-star Ryan Reynolds he is a co-owner of Australia's three-time SailGP champions, now known as the BONDS Flying Roos SailGP Team. According to the U.K. The Independent, the team has secured a multiyear partnership with BONDS underwear. It is the first time the Australian SailGP team has adopted a sponsor's name.
