Jake Paul was the last man to fight Anthony Joshua and he has now revealed his verdict on AJ’s chaotic victory over Kristian Prenga.

Joshua went up against Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, in a clash that was expected to be a comfortable win for the former world heavyweight champion in order to set up the long overdue battle against Tyson Fury.

Any hopes of seeing that clash were nearly ended after AJ was dropped twice in the opening round of the bout, though he was able to recover and claim the second round knockout to come out on top and prevent a stunning shock upset from taking place.

Saturday’s outing saw Joshua back in the ring for the first time since his sixth round triumph over YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul back in December, and now ‘The Problem Child’ himself has shared his reaction to his former rival’s victory over Prenga.

Posting on social media, Paul praised AJ for earning the win, after returning to action following the tragic car crash he was involved in at the end of last year which took the lives of his two close friends.

“Happy for Joshua with that win after all he’s been through. Remembering Sina and Latz with this one.”

The win for Joshua should now tee up for meeting with Fury later this year, after ‘The Gypsy King’ held up his end of the bargain by also securing a win in his warm-up bout on Friday, securing a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach.

Oleksandr Usyk has shared his reaction to Anthony Joshua‘s dramatic knockout victory against Kristian Prenga.

Usyk nearly suffered his own shock defeat in May when he was pushed to the limit by kickboxing star Rico Verhoeven, and two months on it was nrw teammate Joshua’s turn to come close to a massive upset loss that would have stunned the heavyweight division.

The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.

Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.

Speaking to TalkSport, two-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.

“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.

It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.

“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”

Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.

We’re just over one week away from the Aug. 3 trade deadline here in Major League Baseball, so the rumor mill is churning. One big problem is how many teams are still technically in the pennant race. Only eight of the 30 teams are more than four games out of a playoff spot right now, which generally would mean there are eight sellers and 22 buyers. 

The imbalance has created quite a seller’s market. A good number of teams are in limbo, too, which means a lot comes down to how these teams fare in the last week before the deadline. 

Here are the latest rumors.

Nationals ready to both buy and sell

The Nationals have been one of the most pleasant surprises in all of baseball this season, sitting 52-52 heading into Saturday, which has them just three games out of a playoff spot. The new front office still has a long-term plan and won’t blow that up in the midst of a season hovering around .500, but they plan to balance things by making some additions in front of the deadline while still remaining open to some selling. 

Via The Athletic: 

Those additions may be light in scope and could be outweighed by what the Nationals also sell — they still have an eye on their long-term plan, after all — but the intent to make additions of any kind is notable.  

The report mentions All-Stars Foster Griffin and C.J. Abrams as players garnering interest from other teams while also noting that the big-league club needs pitching help, both in the rotation and the leaky bullpen. 

It’ll be fun to see the balancing act from new president of baseball operations Paul Toboni. 

In related news, “extension talks … fizzled quickly,” between Griffin and the Nats (via New York Post). 

Griffin, 30, was one of the best free agent additions this past offseason, signing a one-year, $5.5 million deal with the Nationals in returning to the majors after a stint in Japan. He’s 11-2 with a 2.68 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 111 strikeouts in 117 ⅓ innings.

Mets place Soto on IL

This isn’t a rumor, but it’s noteworthy because Juan Soto is such a gigantic name. He’s been placed on the injured list due to a calf strain and it’s “more significant” than his calf injury earlier this season (via Fox Sports). The Mets expect him to be out for at least three weeks.

Not much changes here with the Mets. They are one of the few obvious sellers and Soto wasn’t gonna be on the table anyway. Expect to see the likes of Freddy Peralta, Clay Holmes, A.J. Minter and Luke Weaver, among others, discussed along with the unlikely-but-possible Francisco Lindor deal. 

A’s sign former Cy Young winner

The Athletics have signed lefty Dallas Keuchel to a minor-league deal, per ESPN. 

He hasn’t pitched in the majors since a four-start stint with the Brewers in 2024, in which he pitched to a 5.40 ERA. He spent 2025 in Triple-A with the Royals organization, going 2-1 with a 3.53 ERA in seven starts. He hasn’t pitched in affiliated ball this season and is 38 years old. 

Hakeem Adeniji was in town for a good time, not a long time (Trooper!). The ex-Vikings o-lineman has moved around the NFL quite a lot.

Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 offered the news of a Baltimore tryout: “#Ravens working out veteran offensive lineman Hakeem Adeniji today, per a league source. Former @KUAthletics standout has played for #Cowboys #Browns #Vikings #Bengals with 55 career games played, 16 starts.”

Ex-Vikings Lineman Could Become a Raven

Given his age, Mr. Adeniji should still have some good ball in his legs and lungs.

The 28-year-old lineman stands at 6’4″ and weighs roughly 300 pounds. Originally, Adeniji put in work with the Cincinnati Bengals — a division rival of the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals are a team constantly hungry for help up front so failing to stick around there is a pretty discouraging. Joe Burrow must go home some days wondering he’s a quarterback or a crash-test dummy, but that’s a discussion for a different day.

Still, we’re considering a 6th Round selection, so hanging in the NFL for several years is reasonably impressive since nothing is guaranteed for somebody chosen so late. Hakeem Adeniji isn’t perfect but keeps getting chances.

Check out his career stops so far:

• Cincinnati Bengals: 2020-2022
• Minnesota Vikings: 2023
• Cleveland Browns: 2024
• Dallas Cowboys: 2025

Playing for the Ravens would mean getting grafted onto a high-end roster with a legit chance to push for the Super Bowl. His main utility would likely be as a depth option who could get slotted into several different spots when a need arises.

Meanwhile, the Vikings have continued their long pilgrimage to arrive at strong depth along the offensive line. Recent efforts have featured options such as Justin Skule, who struggled in such a large role last season.

The latest moves were for Ryan Van Demark and Caleb Tiernan. The veteran free agent add and drafted rookie are going to get tasked with fill-in duty when a need arises.

Part of what makes the tryout with the Ravens a bit more fascinating is that the Ravens will be visiting Minnesota in a few weeks to do joint practices. They will then have a preseason battle inside of U.S. Bank Stadium. So, showing some upside in that tryout could plausibly lead toward coming back to the Twin Cities, if only for a few days.

Another former Viking working in Baltimore is safety K’Von Wallace. Former Baltimore player Josh Oliver, the hulking tight end, is shining as Minnesota’s TE2.

The Super Falcons have arrived in Rabat, Morocco, ahead of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), making a memorable entrance as they gear up to defend their continental crown.

The Nigerian team travelled to Rabat after completing a successful 10-day training camp in Casablanca, where they fine-tuned preparations for the tournament. The players arrived in high spirits, with smiles all round as they boarded their team bus for their hotel.

For the first time, the Super Falcons wore custom-designed traditional departure outfits, making a bold statement before the competition. The squad was dressed in matching green-and-white tie-dye African gowns, complemented by neatly tied traditional headwraps, celebrating Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage while projecting unity and confidence.

The colourful appearance underscored the positive atmosphere in the camp and the renewed support surrounding the team as they prepare for another shot at continental glory.

Nigeria, the defending champions and Africa’s most successful women’s national team, will play all their Group C matches in Rabat. Their campaign begins against Malawi on Tuesday, 28 July, before facing Zambia and Egypt in the remaining group-stage fixtures.

The Super Falcons are chasing a record-extending 11th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title as they look to reaffirm their dominance on the African stage.
