Jake Paul champions women in the ring ahead of Taylor vs. Serrano fight

Josh Peter, USA TODAY July 11, 2025 at 1:55 AM

These are strange times for Jake Paul.

This week he walked onto a stage at Madison Square Garden in front of a sizable crowd and elicited a boo. Not a chorus of boos, mind you, but a mere smattering at most.

The polarizing boxer, suddenly devoid of bombast, stood calmly on the stage for a special event.

It was the end of a press conference promoting an all-women's boxing card on Friday, July 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Eight world champions are among 16 boxers set to fight during an event for which Paul, 28, is a key architect.

While he’s been sparring with fans and profanely promoting his own fights, he more tactfully has elevated women’s boxing through Most Valuable Promotions, a company he co-founded in 2021 with business partner Nakisa Bidarian.

He also has used his relationship with Netflix, which livestreamed Paul’s fight against Mike Tyson in November, to provide their global platform for the all-women's boxing card.

“I 100% believe that Jake Paul and Nakisa at MVP Promotions (are) doing a fabulous job with women's boxing,’’ said Christy Martin, the Hall of Fame boxer. “Even though promoters have done all-women's cards before, no one's ever done an all-women's card at this level.’’

While expanding MVP’s talented roster of women’s boxers to 21, Paul and Bidarian are delivering what could be the greatest all-women’s card in boxing history.

Kathy Duva, a promoter who has belittled Paul as a boxer, praised his work as a promoter championing women’s boxers.

“I think it is fantastic,’’ she said. “I sincerely hope his card is a big success.’’

Why women’s boxing?

Paul has said women’s boxing was a priority when he and Bidarian founded MVP in 2021. But the roots trace back to 2011, said Bidarian, who was the Chief Financial Officer at UFC from 2011 to 2016.

In 2011, the UFC ushered in women’s MMA behind eventual star Ronda Rousey.

“And we brought in the women and gave them the same opportunity, the same platform, the same rules as the men,’’ he said.

Women’s MMA grew into a staple for UFC.

“I knew that we had an opportunity with women's boxing,’’ Bidarian said. “If we found a trailblazer.’’

That trailblazing women’s boxer turned out to be Amanda Serrano, who, before she signed with MVP, fought in title fights for as little as $4,000. Now she has since stated that she’s a multimillionaire.

Her third fight against Katie Taylor will be the main event Friday and earn the boxers upwards of $2 million apiece, according Bidarian, who recalled MVP’s pitch to Serrano and her manager. He said he promised to make Serrano $1 million in her first year with MVP.

“And Amanda always says I lied to her because it took seven months,’’ Bidarian said.

Matt Taffet, manager for boxing star Claressa Shields, lauded Paul.

“Jake has done a great job on all of it,’’ said Taffet, who was a key player in boxing as a longtime executive at HBO Sports. “He got Amanda big fights and a big profile. I mean, Amanda spent a career winning world titles in seven divisions, but she didn't become one of the super women of women's boxing until she got near Jake.’’

Serrano's success helped MVP lure other champions, who have played an integral role in what's next up: the all-women's card.

"This is your moment,'' Paul recently said of the women's boxers. "This is your time to show the world what we are all about.''

Taylor vs. Serrano: What's at stake

MVP is billing this boxing card as the greatest in women’s history, but it’d be wise to withhold judgment until the boxers get into the ring.

That said, the potential is enormous, with four championship fights, a robust purse and Netflix’s global reach.

Bidarian declined to provide details on how much the 16 boxers will make. However, he did say Serrano and Katie Taylor, set to fight for the third time, each will make more than the men’s and women’s runners-up at Wimbledon.

That’s $2,081,868 apiece.

Before Serrano and Taylor fought as the co-main on the Paul-Tyson card, Taylor said she would earn $6.1 million, about triple the payout to the runners-up at Wimbledon.

“I'm saying they're making more than that,’’ Bidarian countered.

And on Wednesday, he announced a $250,000 performance will be awarded to the best fighter or fight of the night. To be determined by Paul, Bidarian and Laila Ali. Yes, Muhammad Ali’s daughter, who once ascended to the top of women’s boxing, is on board.

“Right now, for the most part, Jake Paul already is the dominant promoter in women's boxing by far,’’ said promoter Lou DiBella, who had Serrano under contract before she signed with MVP. “And he's put his money where his mouth is.

“Now, let's see if Jake can make changes by giving these other girls enough exposure that they can start selling (fight cards). We're going to find out.’’

Sepp Straka, long-hitting Jake Knapp part of tie atop Scottish Open

By Sepp Straka's math, two out of three equals 64 and a share of the lead at the Scottish Open.

Straka polished off a round of 6-under-par to finish the first round at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick in a four-way tie atop the leaderboard on Thursday.

"My iron play was pretty good," said Straka. "Driver not so much but the chipping was really nice, and I also made a lot of putts. Any time those two are working, the scores usually are going to be pretty good."

The 64 was Straka's personal-best on the course and tied the Austrian with Victor Perez (France), Nico Echavarria (Colombia) and American Jake Knapp, who has one career win on the PGA Tour (2024, Mexico Open).

A big hitter off the tee, Knapp's bogey-free round was his first competitive tournament round on the course. He posted six birdies and made an improbable 35-foot birdie at the par-4 4th. Knapp was first in strokes gained off the tee at the time his round wrapped up, shooting 32 on the front and back nines.

"It's huge. Downwind holes, try to take advantage of my length and obviously try to keep it out of all the bunkers out there for the most part," Knapp said. "That's been our main focus. I've been driving it well over the last month. Drove it well in Detroit, so trying to keep that trend going. Just use my length when I can."

Germany's Marcel Siem and Matti Schmid shot 65, along with Scotland's Calum Hill and England's Marco Penge, one shot behind the leaders.

"That was really good fun. It's nice to come in here, probably the biggest event of the year for Scottish people, and have a good start. It's great," Hill said.

At 4-under are Viktor Hovland (Norway), Ryan Fox (New Zealand), Americans Wyndham Clark and Keith Mitchell and Tom Kim (Korea).

Straka birdied four of his first seven holes, shot 31 on his opening nine and was at 7-under with four holes to go Thursday. He gave back two shots taking bogey at the par-3 6th and par-4 7th, then recovered with a birdie at No. 8.

"The wind picked up around the turn, and yeah, when I got the ball in play, my iron play was pretty good and took advantage of it," Straka said. "But a lot of squirrely drives as well. A few up-and-downs saved me. Yeah, it was a nice way to finish."

Echavarria birdied three consecutive holes -- 14 through 16 -- and accomplished his top priority of keeping his ball out of the bunker off the tee.

"It's key to hit the fairways because from the rough the ball doesn't have any spin and it could roll on the greens, bounce really hard," he said. "I was able to do that and give myself looks and I was able to convert."

Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy, the winner in 2023 who finished fourth last year, was 2-under and in a massive logjam with a group that includes Scotland's Robert MacIntyre, Xander Schauffele, Nicolai Højgaard, Collin Morikawa and Daniel Berger.

Perez, coming off of a top-20 at the U.S. Open, played in the later wave Thursday, closing with seven birdies and four on his final five holes.

U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun was at even par and tied for 68th. Spaun had birdies at 16 and 17 after shooting a 2-over 37 on the front nine.

Giannis Antetokounmpo says he will 'probably' stay with the Bucks: 'I love Milwaukee'

Leocciano CallaoJuly 11, 2025 at 1:16 AM

Giannis Antetokounmpo's future with the Milwaukee Bucks remains in the air, but he made it known that he loves the Cream City.

In a recent live stream with iShowSpeed (real name Darren Watkins Jr.), the Greek Freak discussed potential landing spots amid his decision-making toward next season. Many have speculated that Antetokounmpo will not be a Buck come October as the team struggles to follow up on its 2021 NBA title win.

"LA, the tax is bad. New York, the tax is bad," Watkins said, alluding to Antetokounmpo being linked to the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks.

“Probably. We’ll see. I love Milwaukee.”- Giannis on staying in Milwaukee pic.twitter.com/mz4V2pdrif

— NBACentral () July 10, 2025

"A lot of people are trying to convince me to play there," Antetokounmpo replied. Watkins then asked if he plans to stay in Milwaukee, to which he replied, "Probably."

"We'll see, probably. I love Milwaukee," he continued.

After defeating the Phoenix Suns to secure just the second title in franchise history, the Bucks fell to the Celtics in the second round in 2022. Since then, they have exited in the first round in the past three years, the last two being against the Indiana Pacers.

Rumors about Antetokounmpo's future in the city escalated this past season following their early elimination against the eventual Eastern Conference champions. To make matters worse, the Bucks waived point guard Damian Lillard after two seasons while he tends to an Achilles tear, which he sustained against the Pacers in late April.

The Bucks drafted Antetokounmpo with the 15th pick in 2013 and nurtured him to become a nine-time All-Star, two-time league MVP and the face of the franchise. While the rumors remain prominent, Antetokounmpo is still in his three-year deal, which he signed in 2023.

Antetokounmpo's $186 million contract was meant to keep him in Milwaukee through the duration of Lillard's deal before his abrupt dismissal. The 30-year-old has a player option for the 2027-28 season.

He averaged 30.4 points and 11.9 rebounds per game this past season as Milwaukee finished fifth in the East with a 48-34 record.

Report: Reign make Mia Fishel NWSL's highest-paid in transfer from Chelsea

Field Level MediaJuly 11, 2025 at 3:27 AM

Mia Fishel is joining Seattle Reign FC from Chelsea on a permanent transfer, signing a long-term deal through 2029 that reportedly will make her the highest-paid player in the NWSL.

Fishel, welcomed in the official announcement to Seattle as "Big Fish," will reach cumulative earnings of $2.5 million over the lifetime of the contract, ESPN reported, which would exceed the $2 million total value of Mallory Swanson's deal in Chicago.

"I'm incredibly excited to sign a long-term contract in the NWSL and take this next step in my career with Seattle Reign FC," Fishel, a San Diego native, said in a team-issued statement Thursday. "This league is one of the best in the world, and I'm looking forward to the opportunity. I can't wait to get started and contribute to the team's success."

Fishel, 24, is a forward for the U.S. Women's National Team and was the fifth overall selection in the 2022 NWSL Draft by the Orlando Pride. She chose to instead begin a professional career with Tigres UANL in Liga MX Femenil, winning the Golden Boot and Apertura title in 2022. She missed most of her two seasons with Chelsea with a torn ACL that happened while training with the USWNT for the CONCACAF Gold Cup in February 2024.

"We're pleased to bring Mia Fishel to Seattle Reign FC," said Lesle Gallimore, Reign general manager. "Mia is a player with tremendous upside - a goal-scorer with presence, creativity and a drive to keep growing. This move represents an important step in her return to top form, and we're committed to giving her the environment and support to thrive. We believe in her ability to make a real impact in the NWSL and are looking forward to what she'll bring to the club and our fans."

USWNT Emma Hayes was the head coach at Chelsea when the club paid a $250,000 transfer fee, bringing Fishel from Tigres in 2023. Chelsea receives an undisclosed transfer fee from the Seattle Reign in the latest transaction.

Swanson signed a four-year deal with a team option to join the Red Stars in 2024. It was the first four-year contract in league history, raising the bar for earnings in the NWSL.

In Liga MX Femenil, Fishel scored 17 goals in 17 matches and became the first foreign player to claim the Golden Boot. She was a two-time All-American at UCLA. She scored 32 goals with 14 assists in 59 career games.

"We're absolutely thrilled to bring Mia into our squad," Reign coach Laura Harvey said. "She's a forward with world-class potential who's already accomplished so much in her young career. Mia's ability to disrupt defenses, finish in different ways makes her a dangerous addition to our group. We're excited to help her take the next step and can't wait to see her on the field soon."

Nicole Scherzinger Reveals Whether She'd Reunite with the Pussycat Dolls — and the Biggest Lesson She Learned (Exclusive)

Nicole Scherzinger says she doesn't know "what the future holds" but "never say never" regarding a Pussycat Dolls reunion

Scherzinger says the band taught her not to have an "ego" — and she passed that wisdom on to contestants on Building the Band

Building the Band premiered on Netflix on Wednesday, July 9

Nicole Scherzinger is in her element.

Speaking with PEOPLE ahead of Netflix's Building the Band premiere on Wednesday, July 9, the singer-songwriter — who serves as a judge and mentor on the show — revealed whether a Pussycat Dolls reunion could happen in the future.

"Never say never, girl," Scherzinger, 47, who was a part of the Pussycat Dolls from 2003 to 2010, says.

"No idea. I mean, I'm still in Norma land and Sunset Boulevard land," she adds of the Broadway show revival in which she won a Tony and currently stars, "but who knows what the future holds."

Scherzinger also revealed the most valuable advice she learned as a member of the girl group, which she was able to pass on to the contestants.

"I think to not have an ego and everyone plays a strong role in their own way," Scherzinger says.

"There's different roles and it's all for the betterment of the band," she continues. "When we were in this process, when the bands were forming, so many of the band members had unbelievable voices, really strong soloist voices, but not everyone could be a solo singer because it was a band. You had to know when you took your lead and you had to know when you could harmonize."

The "Buttons" singer emphasized the importance of knowing your "strength" and "superpower" in the band — all while giving it "your all."

"That's when you're going to be able to make the band as strong as it can be," she concludes.

The first four episodes of Building the Band — which also features AJ McLean as host and Kelly Rowland and the late Liam Payne as judges — are now available to watch on Netflix.

When Netflix first approached her about the opportunity, Scherzinger says she had "never heard of anything like this" and she "jumped at the opportunity."

"I've been doing this for quite a long time. I really pride myself in mentoring and helping out however I can, and one of my superpowers is trying to find the best in people and in blossoming artists. I was really excited to lend any of my gifts and experience to the show," says Scherzinger, who's judged several talent shows including The Sing-Off, The X Factor US, The X Factor UK, Australia's Got Talent and The Masked Singer.

Looking back on her experience, Scherzinger says her time with Payne, Rowland and McLean was "really beautiful" — especially the One Direction singer.

"We got pretty close through this whole experience," she says of the late singer, who died in October 2024 at age 31, months after filming the show.

"Liam is such a kind and beautiful heart, and selfishly I'm glad that I got to spend my time with him. I'm really happy that the world gets to see another one of his gifts, which is helping these blossoming artists, these bands," she says. "He was amazing. I was really impressed with him. He was just so giving and generous, even when the cameras weren't rolling, spending time with all the fans and singing to them. It was lovely to watch him in his element."

On Building the Band, "singers are in complete control as they seek to form their very own bands in individual ‘booths’ without ever seeing each other. All they have to go on is musical compatibility, connection, chemistry and merit," per a synopsis for the show.

"What will happen when the bands finally meet, and looks, choreography, and style come into play? With incredible performances, compelling drama, and one big goal — to find the next great music band — the stage is set for an unforgettable experience."

Justin Bieber to Drop Surprise Seventh Album Friday as Source Says Fans 'Are in for a Genre Shift' (Exclusive)

A new Justin Bieber era is coming!

A source confirmed to PEOPLE that the pop megastar, 31, will drop JB7 — his first since 2021's Justice — on Friday, July 11. The Hollywood Reporter was the first to report the news.

"It’s darker, more vulnerable and less polished," the source said. "It’s in no way depressing though."

They noted exclusively that "fans are in for a genre shift" and that the music is "much deeper."

The source also added that becoming a new dad has "shaped the heart" of Bieber's new project, as 10-month-old son Jack Blues — whom he shares with wife Hailey Baldwin Bieber — "is the most precious to him."

Sources told THR that the pop megastar will release the record via Def Jam.

On Thursday, a billboard in Iceland featuring Bieber and the word “Swag” on it began going viral. TMZ reports Swag is the title of the new album, though the singer has yet to confirm or deny.

The same billboard appeared in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Shortly after the billboards appeared, Bieber also shared an Instagram Reel of a large screen in New York City, featuring what appears to be a track list.

Reps for Bieber and Def Jam have yet to respond to PEOPLE's requests for comment.

Earlier this week, Bieber shared photos of his son joining him in the music studio.

Jack was seen standing by a coffee table, alongside Bieber and his pals, two of whom were playing guitars. The "Baby" hitmaker smiled at his son as he took in his surroundings, which had been adorned with fairy lights. Bieber also captioned the post with a series of love heart emojis.

In May, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that Bieber was laying down new tracks at a recording studio in Iceland.

He stayed at the Eleven Deplar Farm hotel in Ólafsfjörður, Iceland, which features a detached studio where Justin spent time recording his new music without distractions.

In April, sources told The Hollywood Reporter that in recent months Justin had been holding "jam sessions" at his Los Angeles house with DJ Tay James, musical director HARV, SZA collaborator Carter Lang and Australian artist Eddie Benjamin.

The LP will also reportedly include features from Gunna, Sexxy Red and Cash Cobain.

Justin previously smoked along to Cash's song "Attitude" on his Instagram Story. "It’s a great feeling to know one of the GOATs is Slizzy, for him to rock with little old me means a lot," he told PEOPLE in March.

Trump nominates self-described 'alpha male' influencer Nick Adams as ambassador to Malaysia

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Wednesday nominated a right-wing influencer known for his bombastic posts about his devotion to the president and tips on being an "alpha male" to be the next U.S. ambassador to Malaysia.

The White House announced Nick Adams' nomination on Wednesday, and Adams himself confirmed it in a video posted to social media the following day.

"Today, duty has called me to serve my country overseas, not in the uniform of combat, but armed with the pen of diplomacy," Adams, a 40-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Australia, said in a three-minute-long video on X. "Our president has extended the hand of friendship to old allies and new across the world. It is nothing short of a lifetime's honor to take the president's goodwill and spread it to the great people of Malaysia."

The White House didn’t return a request for comment. NBC News also reached out to Adams for further comment.

During Trump's first term, Trump nominated Adams to serve on the board of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

Before immigrating to the U.S., Adams served as deputy mayor of Ashfield, a suburb of Sydney. After he moved to the U.S., he founded the Florida-based nonprofit organization Foundation for Liberty and American Greatness, whose mission is to teach "the founding documents and American values to K-12 students."

He has also developed a reputation as a conservative commentator, primarily on X, where he has more than 600,000 followers. On his personal website, Adams describes himself as "a prominent and outspoken critic of illegal immigration, discriminatory practices under the guise of critical race theory, a leading voice against the perils of radical feminism, and a champion of American exceptionalism." He promotes those stances in numerous short video clips posted to his Instagram account that show him speaking to a camera.

Adams posts video messages to his account with titles like "How to be an American," "How to flirt like a gentleman," and "How to be a confident Alpha."

He is also known for displays of bravado about his own machismo, including his love of the restaurant chain Hooters.

In one post, he wrote: "I am based. I have rizz. I am smart. I am charismatic. I have superior genetics. I am strong. I am bold. I am intense. I have large amounts of testosterone. I am never wrong. I don’t apologize. I am an alpha male."

"I never asked to be turned into a s*x icon, God made me this attractive," he wrote in another.

In addition to the life lessons, Adams praises Trump in daily posts on social media. "President Trump is the highest IQ President this nation has ever had, and it’s not particularly close!" he wrote on X this week. Last week, he wrote, "President Trump always wins, which means America always wins. Remember that."

"If you love America, you love Trump — there are no exceptions to this rule," he wrote in another recent X post.

While Trump has many outspoken fans on social media who have built up significant followings, Adams' enthusiasm and over-the-top style have pushed many to wonder if he was a troll or even a performance artist.

Ambassadorships require Senate confirmation, and if Adams is installed as ambassador to Malaysia, he would succeed career diplomat Edgard D. Kagan, who was nominated by President Joe Biden and has served in the role since last year.
