Tantalus Boxing Club

11/30/2025

TBCNews – Reported by the Always-Unbiased-Except-When-I’m-Not, Mike Glove
December 27th, 2025, is creeping up faster than Buttons Only’s consciousness after today’s sparring session.

🥊 Tantalus King Sends Buttons Only to Nap Time: Gym Turns Into Daycare Centre

Hello fight fans, combat connoisseurs, and lovers of unintentional comedy!
It’s your #1 source for all things fists, footwork, and fighter foolery—Mike Glove—coming to you straight from the Tantalus Boxing Club, where the sweat is real and so are the naps.

Today’s headline practically wrote itself:
“Buttons Only Put to Sleep in the Corner Like a Misbehaved Child… Without the Bedtime Story.”

Yes, you read that right. While most gyms play music, today’s soundtrack was THUD—silence—concerned mumbling.

🥇 Tantalus King: The Road to Redemption (And Apparently Babysitting)

If you haven’t kept your ear to the ring canvas lately, Tantalus King has been on a mission. Ever since his loss to Estevan Da Leo—a man whose punches apparently come with their own ZIP code—Tantalus has sworn a solemn oath: train, improve, repeat. And boy, has he delivered.

He’s been in the gym so much that the staff are considering charging him rent. Last week, he tried to shadowbox the vending machine because it “looked at him funny.” You know that hunger? That drive? That borderline concerning obsession good fighters have?

Yep. He’s got it.

His new motto seems to be:
“If it moves, I’ll spar it. If it breathes, I’ll outwork it. If it stands still, I’ll jab it just in case.”

🧵 Buttons Only: A Stylish Fighter… With an Off Switch

Let’s talk about today’s brave (or wildly misinformed) volunteer: Buttons Only.
A fighter known more for fashion sense than defence, Buttons stepped into the ring confident—unfortunately. And as all great boxing tragedies begin, it started with someone saying:

“Yeah, I think I can handle it.”

The footage shows Buttons Only gliding across the ring early on, landing a cute little jab here, a stylish shuffle there. But Tantalus King—focused, locked in, and powered by the eternal flame of revenge cardio—was not in the mood.

By Round 2, Tantalus started pressing like he was late for work.
By Round 3—well, that’s when The Event happened.

Let’s put it gently:
Buttons Only was peacefully escorted by Tantalus King’s right hook into the land of temporary dreams.

One moment, he was upright, the next, he was curled in the corner like a toddler who skipped nap time and finally paid the price. Trainers rushed over, but honestly, he looked comfortable. Cosy even.

If they had dimmed the lights and added a lullaby, the scene would've been perfect.

🎮 Tantalus Boxing Club Creative Fighter Beta Launch: December Is About to Be Dangerous

All of this chaos couldn’t come at a better time, because the Tantalus Boxing Club Creative Fighter beta is launching this December—and if today’s gym war is anything to go by, the competition is going to be hotter than Tantalus King’s knuckles.

Fans are already buzzing:
Will Tantalus dominate the creative fighter scene?
Will Buttons Only be cleared by medical to return to consciousness by launch day?
Will someone please childproof the corners of the ring?

Stay tuned. We’re expecting fireworks, rivalries, and possibly a few more unexpected naps courtesy of Tantalus King’s fists.

🎤 Final Thoughts from Mike Glove (Because I Love Hearing Myself Talk)

Fight fans, mark your calendars, hydrate your excitement, and—if you’re a sparring partner—maybe invest in a helmet that comes with Wi-Fi.

December 27th is shaping up to be an explosive day, and if today was just a warm-up, then Tantalus King might just be cooking up a comeback story worthy of the big bright lights he dreams of.

Buttons Only?
Well… let’s just hope he wakes up in time to read this blog.

Stay tuned to TBCNews, where the punches are heavy, but the sarcasm?
Even heavier.

— Mike Glove, signing off before Tantalus decides I need “just a little sparring” too.

🔥 Tantalus King vs Swifty Lycan: The Black Friday Beatdown Nobody Asked For, but Everyone Needed

Ladies and gentlemen, gobble-gobble has officially turned into wobble-wobble. It was 9:10 PM on a Friday night, the day after Thanksgiving, when the tryptophan was still settling, and America was still wrestling over discounted TVs. But inside a dimly lit gym somewhere in the Creative Fighter Club trenches, a different kind of Black Friday special was being served—
And Tantalus King rang it up with no receipt and no mercy.

Both fighters were “just sparring,” at least that’s what coaches claim, but anyone watching this circus would’ve sworn they walked into an unofficial title fight sponsored by Hubris, Protein Shakes, and Poor Life Choices.

🐺 Swifty Lycan: The Early Favourite Who Forgot the Night Isn't Over

For the entire beginning of the fight, Swifty Lycan looked like he came to collect rent, tax refunds, and Tantalus King's dignity.
Swifty had the edge so clearly, the judges didn’t even try to hide their unofficial scorecards—they might as well have printed them in bold Comic Sans saying:

“Swifty is cooking this man. Pray for Tantalus.”

Round one? Lycan dominated.
Round two? Lycan danced around like his joints were sponsored by WD-40 and Mountain Dew.
Round three? Lycan was basically giving a TED Talk titled “How to Beat a Dude Effortlessly.”

But then…

⚡ Round Four: Someone Flipped the “Smite” Switch

The moment those unofficial scorecards flashed, something snapped in Tantalus King.

Maybe it was pride.
Maybe it was adrenaline.
Maybe it was the ghost of Mike Tyson whispering, “Hit him in the soul.”

Whatever it was…

KING AWOKE.

And what happened next will live in the Hall of Fame of
“Bro, did you see THAT?!” moments.

🥵 THE LEFT HOOK FROM THE DEPTHS OF HADES

Tantalus King uncorked a left hook to the body so devastating, it made Swifty Lycan’s spine try to file for workers’ comp.

This wasn’t a punch.
This was a biblical event.

It landed so clean, the air around them filed a noise complaint.
Swifty immediately folded inward like he was reenacting a yoga pose only seen in ancient scrolls.
He balled up so tight it looked like:

He was trying to Crip walk on a tightrope

While forgetting how legs work

While reconsidering every life decision that led him to this moment

One coach yelled, “You good, Swift?”
Swifty said nothing because his internal organs were busy rebooting Windows Vista.

🎥 THE 32-SECOND CLIP THAT WILL OUTLIVE US ALL

We’ve got the full fight for you—but trust me, those first rounds are just warm-up comedy.
The highlight, the moment, the legacy, the meme for future generations is the 32 seconds after that punch.

People will replay it:
✔️ In slow-motion
✔️ With dramatic opera music
✔️ As a TikTok trend
✔️ During family gatherings
✔️ As motivation to never skip body conditioning day

It’s that memorable.

As in: “Tell your grandkids about it” is memorable.

📝 Final Takeaway

Swifty Lycan had the fight…
Right up until he didn’t.

Tantalus King turned a sparring match into a Black Friday clearance event, and Swifty’s ribcage was the doorbuster special.

What’s next for these two warriors?
They say they’re gearing up for the Creative Fighter Club, but based on tonight’s events, one of them is gearing up for that… and the other is gearing up for an ice bath, a therapist, and maybe a prayer circle.

This is Mike Glove with TBCNews—
signing off and icing my own ribs out of sympathy.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Tantalus King Drops a Major Update — And This One’s a Heavyweight
Reported by Mike Glove — TBCNews’ Most Underrated (but Extremely Handsome) Tech-&-Uppercut Correspondent

Ladies, gentlemen, and all you fighters who still haven’t recovered from King’s last “nap” in the seventh round — buckle up. While Tantalus King may still be icing his jaw, the man has not taken his gloves off when it comes to the TBC Creative Fight Club app.

Oh yes.
King has returned with Version 1.1.1, codename “Sanctioned Champions.”
Because nothing says "I'm okay" like dropping a software update larger than a heavyweight’s ego.

Let's dive into the madness.

🥇 The New Sanction Era Has Arrived

King apparently woke up one morning and said, “You know what this app needs? Six governing bodies. Six of them.”

Introducing the new Boxing Sanctions Management System, where fighters can now join:

TBCA – Amateur Hour, but make it official

TBA – No, not ‘To Be Announced,’ calm down

TBO – Sounds like HBO but with more punches

TBF – Federation of Getting Hit in the Face

TBC – The Big Council with small patience

TRM – Tantalus Ring Magazine… not to be confused with the other one

Each sanction has its own ranking system, its own leaderboard, and its own opportunity for you to rise… or get demoted faster than a fighter with five straight L’s.

Yes — five. King adjusted that, too. More on that in a minute.

📈 What’s Actually New? (Everything.)
🔥 Join/Leave Sanctions With One Click

Because King knows fighters can barely remember what day it is, the man made it simple.
Tap to join. Tap to run away.

🔥 Real-Time Rankings

Your rank updates automatically as you fight.
No more refreshing the page, as it owes you money.

🔥 Multi-Sanction Participation

You can now join ALL sanctions at once if you want.
Will it help?
Will it hurt?
Will it confuse you?

Yes.

🎨 Visual Upgrades So Clean They Belong in a Gallery

Look… I don't know who King hired or if he's just been binge-watching UI/UX YouTube videos, but this update is pretty.

New sanction cards

Smooth animations

Gradient designs

Bigger belts everywhere

Transparent backgrounds

Typography that doesn’t look like Windows 98

This isn’t an app update — it's a full makeover. Tyra Banks would be proud.

⚖️ Updated Rules, Rankings & Points
Loss Points: Now -2 instead of -3

Because, according to King, “Losing shouldn’t hurt that bad.”

Demotions: Now at 5 consecutive losses

Meaning you get one extra chance before the app says:

“Yo… maybe boxing isn’t for you.”

Wins, bonuses, and tiers:

Still there. Still confusing. Still making fighters argue.

🛠️ Under-the-Hood Fixes So Technical I’m Sweating

King fixed:

A 409 Conflict Error

RLS policy conflicts

Championship belt table issues

Error handling

Database migrations

TypeScript errors

This man fixed so many backend problems, I’m starting to think he fights bugs harder than he fights Estevan.

(Too soon? Maybe.)

📱 Mobile Improvements

The app now works better on your phone, meaning:

Animations don’t freeze

Buttons don’t teleport

Cards don’t stretch like pizza cheese

You can tap things without rage-quitting

A true miracle.

🔮 Coming Soon

King isn’t stopping. Future updates include:

Sanction-specific tournaments

Championship titles

Leaderboards

Advanced analytics

And probably more features he dreams about while unconscious

💬 Final Thoughts

Tantalus King may still be recovering from the “Morning Mauling,” but he’s not letting that stop him from improving the Tantalus Boxing Club experience for fighters everywhere.

This v1.1.1 update is big, bold, clean, and more organized than King’s boxing defence.

King — if you're reading this:
Congrats on the update, champ.
Now, maybe update your chin next.

This is Mike Glove signing off from TBCNews.
Stay sharp, stay sarcastic, and stay tuned for more updates…
Whether they happen in the ring or in the app store.

Last Week Recap: “The Morning Mauling”
Reported by Mike Glove – TBCNews’ Most Underrated (but Extremely Handsome) Correspondent
Ladies and gentlemen, boxing degenerates, and insomniacs who definitely should’ve been asleep — welcome back to another painfully honest recap from yours truly, Mike Glove. Buckle up. Grab your coffee. Maybe grab a helmet. Because last weekend’s showdown wasn’t just a fight… it was a public service announcement on why you should never talk spicy on Facebook at 2 a.m.

Tantalus King vs. Estevan Da Leo
Or as I like to call it: “How to Lose a Fight in 10 Rounds or Less.”
The undisputed virtual boxing community woke up early — painfully early — for what was advertised as a clash between two social media titans. Tantalus King, who apparently woke up feeling bold (and possibly concussed in advance), hopped into the Facebook Undisputed Boxing Game channel and publicly called out Estevan Da Leo.
Estevan, being the gentleman troll he is, accepted the challenge faster than you can say “bad idea.”
And just like that, King slid over the contract: CAF, 10 rounds, no traits, 3-knockdown rule, all sliders at 1.0, and — my personal favorite — “no steroids using contract.”
Yes. They really said that. Nothing says “fair fight” like reminding your opponent not to juice.

The Big Fight… at the Wrong Hour
Fresh off the real-world main event between David Benavidez and Anthony Yarde, our two online gladiators mentally clocked in somewhere between Saturday night and Sunday morning — the time window where only poor decisions and Waffle House thrive.
Right from Round 1, it was obvious:
Tantalus King was NOT ready.
Not ready for the bright lights.
Not ready for Estevan’s power shots.
Not ready for life, honestly.
King ate so many shots so fast, I thought Estevan was trying to unlock a hidden combo achievement. King’s jab looked like a man waving down a taxi — slow, sad, and ignored. At one point, even gravity tried to help him sit down just to stop the beating.
But the footage (yes, I posted it — you’re welcome) shows the truth: King got dragged. Not regular dragged. I’m talking “early morning funeral service” dragged. Estevan was this close to printing out a death certificate mid-round.
The man got knocked down so many times I started counting on my toes.

The Final Collapse
By Round 7, King collapsed face-first like a man discovering sleep for the first time. Knocked out. Done. Sent to dreamland.
Estevan’s fans chimed in immediately:

“King wasn’t ready!”
No kidding, Sherlock.

And yet, in a final act of bravery — or delusion, you decide — King mustered the strength (after regaining the ability to stand upright) to ask Estevan for a rematch before wobbling back to the locker room like Bambi on ice.

Where Does King Go From Here?
Listen, folks…
This wasn’t just a loss.
This was a historic collapse.
A “tell my family I love them” type of defeat.
King is on his way to the hospital as we speak — or as I should say, this morning — and I truly hope the staff has the softest mashed potatoes ready for him. Because that jaw? Yeah… chewing is canceled.
But knowing King — the heart, the grit, the questionable decision-making — he’ll be back.
And we’ll be here.
Popcorn ready. Sarcasm loaded.
This is Mike Glove, signing off from TBCNews.
Tune in next week when someone else gets cooked.

TBCNews Exclusive: Episode-0 Recap — Tantalus King Unleashes the Future of Creative Combat
Reported by Mike Glove | TBCNews | Yesterday’s Coverage Recap

In a groundbreaking introductory episode of what’s already being called a “new era for creative fighters,” Tantalus King returned to TBCNews with a powerful recap of his interview with Didier Beauvais, widely known under his dynamic WBGC persona Top Credits. The interview—which is still echoing across the WBGC community—set the tone for what might become one of the most disruptive innovations in digital fight entertainment.

From the start, King expressed deep gratitude for the doors being opened and the momentum building behind his vision. He thanked not only Didier Beauvais (Top Credits) for lending his platform and voice, but also extended a warm shoutout to Shawn Porter, whose involvement and support helped bring the conversation to life. According to King, the opportunity to speak publicly about the next evolution of TBC was “a blessing—one I’m honoured to share with the community.”

A Revolution in Motion: The TBC Creative Fighter League

What stole the spotlight during Tantalus King’s recap was the official announcement of two massive developments—ones that fans have long speculated about, but finally received confirmation:

1. The TBC Creative Fighter League

A brand-new competitive arena designed not only for fighters, but for creative fighters: artists, sim-boxers, innovators, storytellers, and anyone looking to build a career inside a virtual combat ecosystem.

This league aims to merge:

Simulated boxing mechanics

Real-time creative challenges

Strategic progression paths

Community-driven matchmaking

A digital branding system for every fighter

According to King, the Creative Fighter League isn’t just a competition—it’s a full-blown career structure for modern digital athletes. “This is where creativity meets combat,” he explained. “Where imagination steps into the ring.”

2. The Big Reveal: The All-New TBC App

Perhaps the most anticipated moment of the recap came when King dove into the functionality of the new TBC application, a platform designed to serve as the backbone of the Creative Fighter League. He delivered a surprisingly detailed walkthrough, offering a level of transparency fans rarely get during pre-launch phases.

Inside the TBC App: What We Learned

Tantalus King broke down the major elements of the new application with journalist-level clarity. Here’s what viewers learned:

🔧 Functionality

The app is built to house everything a fighter needs:

Fighter creation tools

Sim-boxing match systems

Profile customisation and stats tracking

League registration

Challenge modes and event scheduling

Promotion and ranking systems

Creative XP progression

King emphasised that the app is meant to feel like a digital gym, training centre, career manager, and entertainment hub—all under one roof.

📜 Rules and Guidelines

To keep the league clean and competitive, King highlighted:

Strict anti-cheese mechanics

Professional conduct expectations

Skill-based matchmaking

Defined scoring and judging protocols

Event-specific rule variations

Transparency, he said, is necessary for fairness and long-term sustainability.

⚖️ Pros and Cons

King didn’t shy away from acknowledging the challenges.

Pros include:

Full creative freedom in designing fighters

A rapidly growing community

Structured career paths

A highly interactive sim system

Cons include:

Early-stage bugs (expected during beta)

Balancing mechanics are still being fine-tuned

A learning curve for new users

“It’s not perfect yet,” King admitted, “but that’s why we’re building this with the community.”

A Career Path for the Modern Creative Fighter

What stood out most was King’s passion for transforming virtual combat into a legitimate creative career outlet.

He explained that fighters in the league won’t just be participants—they can be:

Artists

Storytellers

Promoters

Content creators

Entertainers

The league encourages personal branding, character evolution, and narrative-driven competition. It’s a hybrid of gaming, digital athletics, content creation, and traditional fight promotion storytelling.

Sim Boxing: The Heart of the TBC Experience

King dove deeper into the Sim Boxing engine—the algorithmic foundation behind match outcomes.

He described:

Realistic stamina systems

Style-versus-style matchups

Attribute-driven probabilities

Adaptive scoring

Fighter-specific strategy profiles

Sim Boxing, in King’s words, “lets creativity go toe-to-toe with probability,” creating a boxing experience driven by both imagination and logic.

Promotion: The TBC App Goes Public

The recap closed with an exciting promotional push. King confirmed that marketing initiatives have already begun, and community members are encouraged to help spread the word.

But the real call-to-action came next.

🔥 Recruiting Now: Beta Testers & Creative Fighters Wanted

Tantalus King officially announced that recruitment is open right now for:

👊 Beta Testers

Help shape the app. Provide feedback. Stress-test the engine.

Final Thoughts

Yesterday’s recap was more than just an interview summary—it was a declaration of intent. Tantalus King made it clear that the TBC ecosystem is evolving into something bigger, smarter, and more community-driven than ever before. With the launch of the Creative Fighter League and the new TBC App, the digital boxing world may be on the verge of a renaissance.

This is Mike Glove, reporting for TBCNews—where creativity steps into the ring.

I'd like you to stay tuned for Episode 1.
