  • Victoria Beckham was excited after her husband promised a huge gift if she did this

    Victoria Beckham was excited after her husband promised a huge gift if she did this

    The Beckham clan are currently living the life of luxury on a late-summer jaunt in the South of France.

    And hosting David, Victoria and their brood are Elton John, David Furnish and their two sons – seen welcoming the Beckhams aboard their lavish yacht in the South of France on Tuesday.

    Victoria, 44 – known for her ordinarily poised composure – looked excited as she gave a thumbs up to Elton, on arrival at the dock.

    Having all dined together at lunch on the island Île Sainte-Marguerite, it was time to take to the seas aboard Elton’s luxury vessel.

    The Beckham clan were spotted leaving La Guérite restaurant half a mile off the coast of Cannes, on the French Rivera with the music legend, 71. They met Elton later on, ready to set sail.


    Victoria cut a chic figure in a white vest and a cream maxi skirt as she kept a watchful eye on sons Romeo, 15, Brooklyn, 19, Cruz, 13; while their seven-year-old daughter Harper followed behind her brothers.

    The fashion designer paired the look with her signature oversized shades and decided to ditch heels in favour of white sandals.
    Meanwhile, David, 43, looked in high spirits as he dressed for the sunny climes in a blue button-up shirt, white trousers and straw hat.

    The football star was due to appear at Lavender Hill Magistrates Court in London on Tuesday over claims he drove his £200,000 Bentley at 59mph in 40mph west London zone, but did not attend in person, being abroad at the time.
    The former England ace denied speeding after his Bentley was clocked travelling at almost 20mph above the speed limit in January.

    Instead of going to the hearing, David stuck to his holiday plans with Elton and his boys Zachary, seven, and Elijah, five.

    Victoria and David have been close friends with the iconic singer for years, even choosing him to be Brooklyn’s Godfather.

    David shared a snap with the musician on Instagram on Tuesday, writing: ‘Uncle Elton…. We have known each other now for 25 years .. Fun times with each other.’
    Elton was casually-clad in a yellow palm tree print shirt and shorts and held his sons hand as they walked towards the impressive boat.

    David appeared to be putting his speeding trial to the back of his mind, as the hearing took place in London.

    A case management hearing will be heard at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court on September 4 – where Beckham is again not expected to appear in person.

    According to the charge sheet, he sent his not guilty plea by post on August 17.

    Beckham is accused of exceeding the 40mph speed limit while driving through Paddington, central London, on January 23, on the A40 flyover.

    It states: ‘On January 23 2018 at 5.37pm the defendant drove Bentley on A40 near North Wharf Rd W2 to A40 and near Bramley Rd W10 Gantry, subject of a local traffic order, namely The A40 GLA Road, at a speed exceeding the legal limit of 40 miles per hour.

    ‘The speed recorded by means of Safe Zone was 59 miles per hour.’

    If found guilty he may be hit with a disqualification from driving or a fine.

    Beckham is regularly spotted driving in London in his £160,000 Bentley, often with son Brooklyn or other family members.

    The vacation comes as Victoria’s girl group, the Spice Girls, are once again subject of much speculation.
    Rumours that they’re reuniting for a UK tour in 2019 have supposedly been confirmed and will be put together by music mogul Simon Fuller, but this time, Victoria is said to not be joining the other four members for the 13-stop show.

    As reported by The Sun On Sunday, the money will help Mel B with her £1.2 million legal fee bill after her divorce from Stephen Belafonte.

    The tour announcement came after it was reported that Scary Spice would be heading to rehab to treat her PTSD, in addition to her alcohol and sex addictions.

    Geri, Emma, Mel C and Mel B will all pocket a staggering £12 million each and sources hinted that Posh Spice had disputed with the other girls about money despite saying she would join the reunion.
    Spice Girls fans rejoiced when it was announced that four-fifths of the iconic 90s girl group would be travelling across the UK for 13 shows, finishing up with three mega shows at the Wembley Arena in London.

    A source said: ‘After much to’ing and fro’ing, a deal has been signed, and an official announcement will be made soon. The girls can’t wait to go back on tour, perform to the fans and sing some of their greatest hits.’

    The Spice Girls were at first expected to return as a quintet, but Victoria Beckham has not ventured back into music since their performance at the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony, when they sang a medley of their hits.

    Posh Spice, as reported in The Telegraph, is currently focusing on her fashion line, which will celebrate its tenth anniversary show at London Fashion Week in September this year. The news of the reunion comes after months of speculation.

    Earlier this year, Baby Spice said that she had ‘an open door policy’ when it came to reunions when speaking on This Morning and also revealed that the five-some may be up for headlining festivals such as Glastonbury.

    Emma also suggested that the Spice Girls were working on a feminist animated film. In addition to this, Sporty Spice told NME that they were ‘talking [and] discussing opportunities for the future’ and Scary Space confirmed they would be touring in the same month.

    The Spice Girls shot to fame in 1996 with their hit song Wannabe, which went on to top charts in 37 countries and the group was also credited with the popularisation of the phrase ‘girl power’, encouraging female empowerment.
    The Spice Girls tour will take place over 13 nights and will end with three shows at Wembley Stadium. The dates and venues have not been announced yet, but all shows are expected to happen in 2019 and tickets will be available soon.

    Meanwhile, Elton and his brood have been holidaying on the seas around Europe, previously seen taking in the Mediterranean climes in Porto Cervo, Italy.

    Spotted in Cala Di Volpe with his husband and their boys, the group were seen on beach jaunts and at fancy restaurants as they vacationed together.
    Sir Elton recently claimed he is staying true to his working class roots when he brings up his two children with his husband.

    The rocker, who has an estimated net worth of $450 million, told OK! magazine he is instilling the same values he was brought up with into their upbringing.

    While Elton recognises being wealthy will have ‘advantages’ for bringing up his brood, he said values such as working for what you have is really important.
    He explained to the magazine: ‘They come from a well-off background, which will afford its own advantages.

    ‘I came from a very working class background where I had to work for everything I got, and I want to instill those same values in them. But it’s harder growing up in this world and David and I are very mindful of that.’

    ‘They’re fantastic young boys, they have good hearts and compassionate, kind personalities.’
    Despite being one of the most iconic singers of all time, the musician confessed his sons would look upon him as a ‘God’ if he was a footballer.

    Although he said music doesn’t ‘rank so highly’ as football in his son’s eyes, the singer did reveal the kids get ‘very excited’ about going to his shows.

    He elaborated: ‘I’m no one special. If I was a footballer, I’d be God to them. What I do doesn’t rank so highly!’

  • Converting all 100 Hermès handbags into stocks, how much money will David Beckham’s wife have after 16 years?

    Converting all 100 Hermès handbags into stocks, how much money will David Beckham’s wife have after 16 years?

    Victoria Beckham has a huge collection of designer accessories, not to mention luxury products from her own fashion brand of the same name. But the Hermès Birkin is by far her favorite handbag.

    Vogue magazine believes that David Beckham’s wife’s obsession with Hermès handbags may have originated in 2004, when she invested in the brown Birkin version.

    Since then, Victoria has bought herself more bags with different color combinations and materials.

    She has “managed” to have the most special and coveted versions, which can be resold for millions of dollars, such as burgundy ostrich leather and crocodile leather versions.

    Victoria Beckham has figured out what’s trendy and turned it into a covetable collection. Within 5 years (in 2009),


    The Guardian estimated that Ms. Beck had about 100 Birkins and it is likely that the number has increased since then.

    Back in 2007, when Birkin bags sold for about 3,500 USD (nearly 83 million VND), the former singer spent at least 315,000 USD (about 7.4 billion VND) in cash at Hermès for about 100 of her handbags. this brand. It is estimated that the value of the entire collection currently reaches 2 million USD (equivalent to 47.3 billion VND).

    This makes LuxuryLaunches writer Neha Tandon Sharma wonder, are Birkin handbags really worth the investment? And if Victoria uses that money to invest in Hermès shares, what will happen?

    In December 2007, the company’s share price was trading around 90 USD (about 2.1 million VND). On July 17 this year, the share price reached 2,100 USD (nearly 50 million VND), bringing an incredible profit of 2,320%.

    If Victoria Beckham spent all 315,000 USD to buy shares, this asset would increase to 7.3 million USD (about 173 billion VND), not including dividends that Hermès has paid for many years.

    According to Deloitte and Credit Suisse, Hermès Birkin averaged 28% profit in 2020, the highest among luxury bag collections. The fact that the fashion house does not mass-produce handbags is one of the reasons why they are so widely coveted.

    Despite an 8-10% increase in Birkin and Kelly releases in early 2023, shoppers are still hungry.

    Hermès is one of the most valuable fashion brands in the world. The majority of the brand’s products are handmade, with a team of 180-250 artisans working on cutting, finishing and sewing. This explains the high product quality and price.

    The brand also places a limit on the number of Birkin bags a customer can buy each year. Limited accessibility and high demand from consumers increasingly make the bag an item that many people desire.

    Over time, this luxury accessory gradually became a symbol of status and luxury, even considered a better investment than gold.

    Victoria Beckham’s wardrobe with about 100 handbags from the French fashion house seems large. But the person who owns the world’s largest collection of Birkin bags is not David Beckham’s wife. This position belongs to “branded queen” Jamie Chua.

    According to Daily Mail, the Singaporean female tycoon’s 65 square meter wardrobe is filled with more than 200 Hermès bags (with prices ranging from 183 million VND to 6.8 billion VND), 300 pairs of shoes and jewelry drawers. diamond power.

    The most precious item in Jamie Chua’s wardrobe is the Hermès Himalaya Niloticus Crocodile Diamond Birkin handbag worth 300,000 USD (equivalent to 7 billion VND), covered with crocodile leather and sparkling with diamonds.

    However, the 40-year-old beauty admitted that the cause stemmed from her carelessness. Therefore, Danielle felt “embarrassed and embarrassed” when she heard the former England player ask.

    “The other day, I was almost hit by David Beckham. The story was a bit funny but also made me feel embarrassed ,” the beauty revealed.

    “I remember at that time, it was raining very heavily. I tried to cross the street quickly without looking closely.

    Thank God he didn’t hit me. He lowered the car door and said, ‘are you okay? ?’. I was speechless when I realized it was David Beckham.


    I felt very embarrassed to receive his attention. I remember it was raining heavily but his face was still shining brightly.” .

    After that, David Beckham also left. Danielle said the story happened a long time ago, but at that time, Beckham and Victoria had already become a couple. Also during the sharing session, Danielle admitted that she really enjoyed the documentary “David Beckham” released last year. The beauty was especially impressed with Victoria.

In an interview, Danielle revealed that she was excited about her plan to have a sixth child.

  • David Beckham appeared sad with his children at Inter Miami’s match without Messi’s presence

    David Beckham appeared sad with his children at Inter Miami’s match without Messi’s presence

    If watching Inter Miami lose their latest match wasn’t bad enough, club boss David Beckham had to do it while in the presence of his children.

    The former Manchester United and England midfielder, 48, was on hand to watch his side lose 2-1 at home to Monterrey in the Concacaf Champions Cup first leg on Wednesday evening.

    Observing from the sidelines, a smartly dressed Beckham – wearing the signature blue suit he typically pulls on for such occasions

    – was accompanied by three of his four children with former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.

    On hand to witness the defeat, sons Brooklyn, 25, Cruz, 19, and daughter Harper, 12, sat alongside their father as the team relinquished their one goal lead.


    Inter Miami, playing without Lionel Messi, went a man down and then finished a goal down at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday evening.

    After getting an 89th-minute winner from Jorge Rodriguez, Monterrey take a 2-1 lead into the second and final leg of the total-goal series on April 10 in Guadalupe, Mexico.

    Messi was ruled out pregame due to a hamstring injury that has sidelined him since mid-March.

    Even without the superstar, Miami went up 1-0 on a 19th-minute goal from Tomas Aviles.

    The Herons were still on top when they lost midfielder David Ruiz to a second yellow card in the 65th minute.

    Monterrey pulled level four minutes later on a goal from Maximiliano Meza, then jumped on top in the waning minutes.

    The decisive tally was set up by an Inter Miami giveaway at the edge of the penalty area.

    Meza laid the ball off to Rodriguez, who set the ball up with his first touch, then fired a 20-yard, right-footed shot into the far top corner.

    Messi, who missed his fourth straight game because of a right hamstring injury, has not played since March 13, and also missed Argentina´s exhibitions last month against El Salvador and Costa Rica

    It isn’t yet clear when the 36-year-old Messi will return. Inter Miami and Monterrey are scheduled to play the second leg of the quarterfinal in Mexico on April 10. Inter Miami will also play an MLS match against Colorado on Saturday.

    ‘Every day he’s feeling better. It would have been too much of a risk today,’ Inter Miami coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino said through an interpreter after the match.

    He added that Messi will continue to be game-to-game.

  • David Beckham reveals the brutal abs workout that gave him a rippling six-pack at the age of 48, shocking fans

    David Beckham reveals the brutal abs workout that gave him a rippling six-pack at the age of 48, shocking fans

    David Beckham, the soccer icon who’s equally well-known for his impeccable style and athletic prowess,

    has shared a video that reveals one of the key secrets behind his enviable body that he’s managed to keep in ship shape well into middle age.

    The secret to his killer six-pack abs? A brutal but devastatingly effective exercise: hanging knee raises.

    Beckham recently took to Instagram to share a glimpse of his workout routine, featuring this core-

    burning move that has become a centrepiece of his training programme under the mentorship of trainer Bobby Rich.


    The exercise is a lot harder than it looks, especially if you’re carrying a little more timber than Beckham (as most of us sadly are…).

    The technique is straightforward but burns: While hanging from a pull-up bar, engage the core muscles to lift both knees until your thighs are parallel (or just beyond) with the floor. Targeting not only the rectus abdominis‚ the six-pack muscles — but the whole upper body as it grips and holds the hang position, this is a stone-cold killer.

    “There are a lot of different variations to make it harder; sometimes one knee up at a time so you have to hang longer, or there are different rotational movements while doing it… I have our athletes do it where they’ll raise their knees, kick their legs out, hold this position, and then come down… ”

    Beckham’s dedication to maintaining his physique should serve as an inspiration to a lot of blokes, especially those facing up to the harsh realities of middle age. Beckham serves as a welcome reminder of the importance of consistency, proper technique, and gradual progression in not only achieving but sustaining your fitness goals.

  • What David Beckham said when he learned the truth about the assets his daughter-in-law Nicola’s family owns

    What David Beckham said when he learned the truth about the assets his daughter-in-law Nicola’s family owns

    At age 81, with over four decades of dealmaking and corporate cage-rattling under his belt, Nelson Peltz would seem to have pretty much everything.

    He’s a billionaire. Until the hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin came to Palm Beach, Fla., Mr. Peltz had the largest property tax bill in town, with an oceanfront estate estimated to be worth $334 million.

    His 130-acre property in Bedford, N.Y., known as High Winds, has its own helipad, indoor ice rink and waterfall. He has use of his company’s jet. (But so far, he owns no yacht — he rents one instead.)

    He also has an undeniably full life apart from his business: He has two children from his first marriage.

    He also has eight children (including two sets of twins) with his wife since 1981, the former model Claudia Heffner.


    His eldest child from that marriage, Matt, is a partner and co-chief investment officer at Mr. Peltz’s Trian Partners.

    At age 81, with over four decades of dealmaking and corporate cage-rattling under his belt, Nelson Peltz would seem to have pretty much everything.

    He’s a billionaire. Until the hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin came to Palm Beach, Fla., Mr. Peltz had the largest property tax bill in town, with an oceanfront estate estimated to be worth $334 million. His 130-acre property in Bedford, N.Y., known as High Winds, has its own helipad, indoor ice rink and waterfall. He has use of his company’s jet. (But so far, he owns no yacht — he rents one instead.)

    He also has an undeniably full life apart from his business: He has two children from his first marriage. He also has eight children (including two sets of twins) with his wife since 1981, the former model Claudia Heffner. His eldest child from that marriage, Matt, is a partner and co-chief investment officer at Mr. Peltz’s Trian Partners.

    His photogenic younger children have thrust him into the tabloids and onto the Hollywood red carpet. Nicola, an actress (“Bates Motel,” “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” “Welcome to Chippendales”), married Brooklyn Beckham, son of David and Victoria Beckham, in a splashy wedding at the Peltz Palm Beach estate in 2022. Will is also an actor (“Unfriended,” “Euphoria,” “Manifest”). Brad played hockey for Yale and was drafted by the Ottawa Senators.

    And yet Mr. Peltz yearns for something that continues to elude him: the respect from the corporate elite, which he craves and feels he deserves. Could admittance to the inner sanctum of one of the best-known and most respected companies in the world — the Walt Disney Company — deliver that?

    On and off for almost a year and a half, Trian Partners has waged an intense corporate fight by controlling a $3.5 billion stake in Disney and pushing for two board seats and influence over the company’s strategy. Mr. Peltz’s ammunition is a barrage of criticism of Disney’s management and board: The stock has plunged; costs have spiraled out of control; a string of big-budget film flops has raised questions about the company’s creative engine — problems that Mr. Peltz says he can reverse with his operational skills and strategic insight. While he concedes he has no experience in entertainment, his opinions, he says, are informed by his children and their high-powered friends, including Elon Musk, who has been critical of Disney.

    The proxy battle has pitted him against Disney’s chief executive, Robert A. Iger, one of the media industry’s most powerful executives and someone Mr. Peltz once considered a good friend. Mr. Iger and Disney’s board have pushed back hard, even enlisting the support of the Disney family, including Abigail Disney, who has long complained about Mr. Iger’s lofty compensation. The increasingly bitter contest is hurtling toward a climax on April 3, when Disney will hold its annual shareholder meeting and proxy votes will be counted.

    That this fight is over far more than a couple of board seats, or even a multibillion-dollar stake in the company, was abundantly clear in a series of interviews with The New York Times at Trian’s offices on Park Avenue and in Palm Beach, and over the phone.

    During the interviews, Mr. Peltz — who has had numerous similar run-ins with corporate giants such as Procter & Gamble, Heinz and Unilever — repeatedly lamented his reputation as a provocateur and “activist” investor, a thorn in the side of chief executives and their boards.

    He hates being mentioned in the same company as a rogues’ gallery of activists, buyout operators and corporate raiders, as he often is. He thinks he should be compared to someone he admires and tries to emulate: Warren E. Buffett.

    “Does Nelson feel misunderstood? He probably does,” said Arthur Winkleblack, who was chief financial officer at Heinz when Mr. Peltz waged a successful proxy contest there in 2006 and joined the board. “Not all activists are the same. There are activists who are not nice people. There are activists who are.”

    Whatever label is attached to him, there’s little chance that Mr. Peltz will be embraced by the august members of the Business Roundtable, the Washington-based lobbying group of elite chief executives, given his long track record of public criticism of boards and chief executives, and his efforts, when rebuffed, to elbow his way into America’s boardrooms.

    Jamie Dimon, the chief executive of JPMorgan Chase and a former chairman of the roundtable, recently came out against Mr. Peltz in the Disney proxy fight, citing the disruption that activist investors can bring to a board. JPMorgan is advising the company in its proxy defense. Disney has paid JPMorgan over $160 million in fees since 2014 as a client, according to LSEG, a financial data provider.

    One measure of Mr. Peltz’s continuing notoriety is the reluctance of many people who have worked with him to speak on the record — even people he counts as friends and admirers, some of whom he recommended The Times interview for this article. That’s especially true in the midst of the Disney fight; several people said they didn’t want to be caught in the crossfire between Mr. Peltz and Mr. Iger, let alone Mr. Dimon. Both chief executives cast long shadows in the entertainment and business worlds.

    “He’s like the uninvited guest who crashes a dinner party,” said Charles Elson, a former director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. “No matter how charming, he’s not going to be welcome.”

    Nate Diaz got Jake Paul in a standing guillotine choke during their boxing match

    Nate Diaz is pure entertainment.

    During his boxing match with Jake Paul, the mixed martial arts icon hilariously decided to get the former Disney actor in a submission.

    A standing guillotine choke, to be exact.

    Nate Diaz pretended he was putting Jake Paul in a guillotine choke in the final 20 seconds of their fight and then celebrated…

    Image

    Image

    So while Paul got the victory, it was Diaz who walks away with perhaps the funniest and most iconic moment – many hailing him a ‘legend’ for pulling off the move.

    Nate Diaz put Jake Paul in the guillotine then threw his hands up. Legend! 😂 #PaulDiaz

    It was the YouTuber-turned-boxer who had controlled most of the fight, staying on the outside and landing solid jabs, even dropping Diaz in the fifth round with a nasty right hand.

    But as the fight progresses, it was Diaz who started dragging Paul into deep waters with his sheer stamina and durability.

    And in the tenth and final round of their bout, Diaz began piling the pressure on Paul with a barrage of punches.

    But when Paul closed the distance and wrapped Diaz up to avoid more punishment, the UFC fan favourite decided to grab Paul’s neck and apply a standing guillotine choke.

    The referee jumped in and pulled the 38-year-old off Paul as the crowd erupted with laughter and cheers.

    Diaz then threw his hands up in the air, celebrating the legendary moment.

    Fans on social media were loving it too, one person tweeting: “Legend!”

    While another added: “He could have slept that boy, while wearing boxing gloves. Jake better rethink that mma deal.

    As one said: “Dude was trolling the whole time.”

    And a fourth asked: How did he lose yet still win?”

    Nate Diaz throws a headlock on Jake Paul at the end of the final round😂

    It wasn’t the only time that Diaz’s showmanship was on display throughout the back-and-forth scrap.

    Throughout the entire fight, he was constantly showboating and taunting Paul.

    On a number of occasions, he even faked being hurt when Paul landed body shots – often tripping up the commentary team too.

    So despite not getting his hand raised, Diaz certainly entertained the crowd and proved just why he’s one of the most loved combat sports athletes on the planet.

  • Drake loses eye-watering SIX-FIGURE bet on Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz fight

    Drake loses eye-watering SIX-FIGURE bet on Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz fight

    He lost a huge sum.

    Drake loses eye-watering SIX-FIGURE bet on Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz fight

    Chart-topping musician Drake lost a six-figure bet on Saturday night’s Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz bout.

    Months after a first-career defeat to Tommy Fury, YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul got back in the win column by overcoming Diaz by unanimous decision.

    Paul, dubbed ‘The Problem Child’, dropped the UFC legend in round five and survived a late flurry to earn a resounding 97-92, 98-91, and 98-91 victory.

    While both men have respective beef to settle, with Fury and Conor McGregor waiting in the wings, Paul called for a rematch in MMA against Diaz, a proposition the UFC fighter appeared open to.

    It was a costly night for Drake, however, who lost a huge $250,000 (£196,000) bet.

    The hit-maker had previously complimented the Paul brothers’ foray into combat sports. However, he told fans on social media that he couldn’t resist lumping the eye-watering sum on Diaz ahead of Saturday’s fight.

    Writing on Instagram, Drake shared a photo of his bet slip, with the caption: “Jake is a dog but I can never bet against a Diaz brother. That’s just how I was raised.”

    During his pre-fight promotion, Paul hit back at the ‘God’s Plan’ singer’s prediction, writing on social media: “Drake losing his bet should have played Betr Picks.”

    And Paul was ultimately proved correct.

    Of course, Drake has previously put massive sums on different UFC and boxing fights and frequently lost gigantic amounts through his partnership with online bookie Stake.

    The 36-year-old previously bet $400,000 (£313,000) on Paul to beat Love Island star and professional boxer Fury, only for the former to be handed his first defeat.

    Before that, Drake lost a series of six-figure bets on Jorge Masvidal against Colby Covington and Justin Gaethje’s world title loss to Charles Oliveira.

    Of course, the Canadian, whose net worth is widely reported to be in the region of £200million, has also claimed enormous wins in his time. In March, Drake backed UFC legend Jon Jones to become a two-weight champion in his heavyweight title comeback against Ciryl Gane.

    The 36-year-old staked £196,000 on ‘Bones’ to win by submission, which he did within the first round and also £196,000 for him to win by knockout.

    Fans make "rigged" claims after Jake Paul's controversial Nate Diaz knockdown

    Jake Paul’s knockdown of Nate Diaz during their boxing bout has been slammed by fans all over the world.

    The YouTube star turned pro boxer Paul knocked down former UFC star Diaz in the fifth round of their fight and went on to win with a unanimous decision.

    Many fans questioned the legitimacy of the knockdown, with the punch only catching Diaz on the top of his head.

    He also managed to climb back to his feet and beat the count.

    As per The Star, one fan said: “Caught him lovely there… fair play to them they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.” A second posted: “He didn’t even touch him.”

    It was branded by others as fake with a third fan saying: “There’s no f***ing way that punch knocked him down.”

    The fight was Paul’s first since losing to British boxer Tommy Fury, brother of Heavyweight World Champion Tyson, back in February.

    After that loss, he said the match benefited his career because it made his brand bigger.

    It was his first test against a ‘real boxer’ with many criticising Paul for only facing other social media stars or retired MMA fighters.

    He’s now recovered with a victory over Diaz and still has ambitions to one day become a world champion.

    Paul and Diaz agreed to a rematch under MMA rules which should benefit the latter and be a real test for Paul who’s stepping out of his boxing lane.

    After the fight, Paul said: “All credit to my team and I want to run it back in MMA.

    “$10million (£7.8m) PFL, that’s the offer. Let’s run it back in MMA to make it fair. I won one, now it’s your chance in home territory of MMA.”

    Elon Musk's doppelgänger is training for boxing fight in case he needs to be ready for Mark Zuckerberg

    Elon Musk’s doppelgänger is amping up his boxing training just in case he needs to replace the X owner ahead of the fight with Mark Zuckerberg.

    As if this whole ordeal couldn’t get any weirder, right?

    The two tech billionaires have been beefing online, with a clear social media honcho rivalry building.

    And as you do nowadays, Musk decided to challenge Zuckerberg to cage fight back in June.

    Zuckerberg replied to the challenge: “Send me the location.”

    The Tesla owner may have bit off a bit more than he can chew, however, with photos emerging of the Meta owner looking ripped alongside Alex Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya.

    And what would you know… Zuckerberg actually trains in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

    So, just in case Musk decided to pull out of the fight, which to be honest, who could blame him, a Chinese TikToker who bears a resemblance to Musk has been training… just in case.

    Yilong Ma has long been building a following online due to his uncanny looks that looks eerily similar to that of Musk.

    Wearing doge shorts and a pair of boxing gloves, Ma pretends to box Musk’s tech billionaire rival in a series of videos, while shouting ‘come on, come on, come on, come on’ and ‘KO!’

    In the videos, Ma stands in front of a Tesla and pretends to box a man who is wearing a cardboard box over his head with a photo of Zuckerberg taped to it, who he has dubbed… Zuckerbox.

    Ah, the internet is a weird and wonderful place.

    In one of the videos, Ma’s parody of Musk says he will give away a Tesla if he beats Zuckerberg. In another one of the videos, the man with the box on his head writes an X on Ma’s chest in permanent marker before Ma pretends to box him.

    Ma first went viral in December 2021 in a video uploaded to Douyin, China’s version of TikTok, which was then shared on Facebook.

    After noting his uncanny resemblance to the X CEO, his followers began calling him ‘Yi Long Musk’.

    His training might not be utilised after all though, with Elon seemingly pushing forward with the fight.

    He tweeted last week: “Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X. All proceeds will go to charity for veterans.”

    This could actually be happening.
