    Aussies slam boxing promoters and Fox Sports for giving disgraced footy star Curtis Scott a chance to resurrect his sporting career after he assaulted his glamorous athlete ex

    Fight promoters No Limit Boxing have been slammed by Aussie fans after offering fallen NRL star and Curtis Scott the chance to revive his sporting career in the ring after he was convicted of assaulting his ex-girlfriend.

    On debut, Scott, 26, knocked out former Canberra Raiders teammate Joey Leilua in the second round of their bout on Wednesday night in Wollongong – and then called out ex-AFL enforcer Barry Hall.

    The bout left many fans asking why Scott was handed an opportunity in a different sport given his conviction in 2022 for domestic violence against former partner Tay-Leiha Clark.

    A spokesperson from No Limit Boxing told Daily Mail Australia on Thursday morning that they have no affiliation with Scott, insisting that he was merely a fighter on the undercard.

    The media representative also added that the organisation had ‘no interest in being part of a Curtis Scott redemption story’.

    Fox Sports declined to comment when contacted by Daily Mail Australia.

    Several commenters lashed out on the social media platform X when they saw the fight and the promotion that went along with it.

    ‘He was exiled due to committing domestic violence on his partner. But hey, let’s keep promoting him,’ one fan wrote.

    ‘Congrats on promoting a woman beater,’ said another bemused supporter.

    A third weighed in with: ‘Is Fox NRL really trying to push the career of a domestic abuser?? 

    Daily Mail Australia also reached out to Ms Clark for comment in relation to Scott’s latest sporting pursuit. 

    In December last year, retired footy player Trent Merrin attempted to defend Scott on social media – and Clark didn’t mince her words when it came to replying.

    ‘After four years, never once has there been any personal accountability taken. This is not an opportunity for redemption, it’s ignorance,’ she posted in response.

    ‘It might be beneficial for Trent to consider this before publicly advocating for a man who has never even shown remorse towards his victim.’

    Scott won a NRL premiership with Melbourne Storm in 2017 and was viewed as a potential State of Origin player for NSW, but his career was ruined by a string of off-field dramas.

    Last month, Ms Clark called out Fox League for ‘endorsing’ Scott, who she labelled a ‘dangerous man’.

    In 2022, the Cronulla Sharks junior was sentenced to a 12-month community corrections order after being found guilty of three charges against his ex-girlfriend, athlete Tay-Leiha Clark: assault occasioning actual bodily harm, common assault and stalk or intimidate with the intention of causing fear or physical harm.

    He was sacked by the Canberra Raiders before the assault charge – for a separate incident surrounding a nightclub altercation – although he was later cleared of any charges.

    Scott is also in a legal battle with NSW Police over what he claims was an ‘unlawful’ arrest in Sydney in January of 2020.

  • Lewis Hamilton warns Max Verstappen leaving Red Bull for Mercedes ‘wouldn’t make sense’ with the Dutchman’s future in doubt after his father called for Christian Horner to quit

    Lewis Hamilton warns Max Verstappen leaving Red Bull for Mercedes ‘wouldn’t make sense’ with the Dutchman’s future in doubt after his father called for Christian Horner to quit

    Lewis Hamilton believes a switch to Mercedes ‘wouldn’t make sense’ for Max Verstappen but conceded ‘anything is possible’ in Formula One.

    The Dutchman has won the last three world titles with Red Bull but his future is in question after his father Jos told Mail Sport that the title-winning team would ‘explode’ unless Christian Horner stands down as boss.

    The 50-year-old was exonerated of charges of ‘coercive behaviour’ towards a female colleague last week, before a leaked email produced evidence purporting to show Horner sending suggestive WhatsApp messages to his colleague.

    Verstappen Snr and Horner were involved in a heated argument with Horner in Red Bull’s hospitality area in Bahrain last week.

    The former also held talks – and a dinner – with Mercedes boss Toto Wolff during the opening weekend of the season, fuelling speculation his son would consider a move elsewhere if the situation at Red Bull didn’t clear up.

    Horner: ‘We need to move forward, time now to focus on Formula One’

    With Hamilton set to join Ferrari, a vacancy will be available at Mercedes next season.

    But while the Briton was not surprised by rumours linking Verstappen to his seat, he suggested the move would not make sense for his rival.

    ‘I wouldn’t say I am surprised that he is being considered. He is a great driver,’ Hamilton told reporters in Saudi Arabia, where the second race of the season takes place in Jeddah.

    ‘And Max in that moment did what he had to do. It was nothing on him. It was the sport that let us down and that wasn’t his fault.

    ‘If I was in his position I would have done the same thing, so there are no issues there.

    ‘If you run a team you want the best driver and a driver that brings in the eyeballs and brings in the sponsorship and he is one of those.

    ‘I understand it but it wouldn’t make sense for him, but it will be interesting to see.’

    Hamilton pulled off a shock move of his own last month, when he announced he would leave Mercedes to join Ferrari less than a year after denying talks with the Italian marque over a huge £40million deal.

    The seven-time world champion said his split from the Silver Arrows showed nothing can ever be ruled out in Formula One.

    ‘I think my move has shown that anything is possible, and it’s going to be a really interesting next six months or so. I don’t have any extra scoop,’ he said.

    ‘I’m sure Max is on the list. But I’m pretty sure he’s tied up, and I also don’t see why he’d leave a car that is that good!’

    Asked of the impact Verstappen Snr’s comments would have on Red Bull, Hamilton said: ‘He is not a part of the team, he is a parent. So that’s just an opinion but it’s definitely not helpful.

    ‘I think it is a very thin line to walk. […] I think Max is a grown man, he’s a champion and I’m sure he can make his own decisions.’

    Tyson Fury reveals how much his brother Tommy made from KSI fight and how much he has in his bank

    Tyson Fury has revealed how much his younger brother Tommy earned from his fight against KSI earlier this month – and claimed how much money he has in the bank.

    The elder Fury is in action this weekend against Francis Ngannou, in a boxing bout that will be judged over the 10-point must scoring system.

    The fight takes place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and will see the ‘Gypsy King’ step into the ring for the first time since knocking out Derek Chisora in December.

    The bout comes just two weeks after Tommy, a 2019 Love Island runner-up, had his own professional bout, taking on KSI in the main event of the Misfits Prime Boxing card in Manchester.

    Fury initially won the fight via majority decision, but the result was changed to a unanimous decision after it was found that one of the judges had miscalculated their final score.

    The entire event, which was broadcast by DAZN, reportedly received 1.3 million PPV buys.

    And speaking ahead of the Ngannou fight, Tyson has revealed that his brother earned a staggering $10 million from his fight against KSI.

    He went on to tell combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour: “The fact that Tommy made $10m from the fight, he’s 24 years old, probably made $25-$26m (around £21m) out of his 10-fight career, it’s unbelievable. I’m very, very proud of where he’s come from.”

    Tyson then recalled the difficulties that Tommy went through at the beginning of his boxing career and rise to fame on Love Island, and compared those to his current lifestyle and finances.

    “In 2018, Tommy didn’t have $10 for a bus pass,” he explained. “Today, Tommy’s got a hell of a lot of money, millions of dollars in his account. So I’m very proud of him.

    “He can buy what he wants. He’s got a $5m mansion, [Mercedes] G-Wagon, Lambo’s, Rolex. The guy’s flying.”

    Tommy also became a father in January of this year, when his fiancee Molly-Mae Hague gave birth to their daughter.

    Molly-Mae was present during the 24-year-old’s fight against KSI – but later revealed she is considering banning herself from his future bouts.

    While on-track success continues to elude Lewis Hamilton since 2021, his off-track exploits have had much better results. Known throughout the world for his initiatives, the 7-time world champion has recently become a recipient of a special award. Per an update from GQ Magazine on their official website, Hamilton has won GQ’s ‘F1 – Transcending Powerhouse’ award. Last year, GQ launched a new award series called ‘Global Creativity Awards.’

    Taking place for the second year in a row, the awards shall now honor Ferrari-bound Hamilton. Also on the list are Hunter Schafer (Hollywood Star), Danny McBride (Renaissance funnyman), Trent Reznor, and Atticus Ross (both Rock musicians turned Oscar-winning composers). American multimedia artist Lauren Halsey, Marni’s surrealistic creative director Francesco Risso, and ground-shaking Afrobeats innovator Asake also make the list of winners.

    All honorees will join GQ for their “big bash” on 11th April 2024. The evening will be hosted by Emmy-winning comedy ace JB Smoove. While more details are yet to follow, the theme of the night will be – ‘Big Ideas for a Better World.’ Hamilton has played a critical role in introducing such ideas, especially in motorsports.

    Following the season-end photo of 2019, Hamilton noticed a lack of diversity in the paddock. It led to him taking action and breaking specific barriers to increase the recruitment of Black people within UK motorsports. After ten months of research, the Hamilton Commission came into existence. Hamilton also created the Mission 44 charity in 2021. It came into existence after the 2020 Black Lives Matter protest and aimed at improving diversity in global motorsports.

    Lewis Hamilton to continue pushing for diversity with Ferrari

    Hamilton’s initiatives are extremely close to him, and he continues to work hard on them. Moving to Ferrari in 2025, the Briton made it a priority for Ferrari to ensure he continues working on them. As such, he had clauses around his initiatives blanketed into the deal. Ferrari Chairman John Elkann committed to embarking on a joint investment fund with Exor to contribute a little over $270 million to Hamilton’s Mission 44. Given the investment, Hamilton’s total annual earnings with Ferrari shall sit around the $400 million mark.

    There is little surprise that Hamilton found the offer very lucrative. A report from GP Fans claimed Ferrari and Elkann were more than willing to join Hamilton’s initiatives. Elkann promises to embrace Hamilton’s initiatives and is excited to work on Hamilton’s mission. Meanwhile, the report also claims that the Maranello outfit was more keen on supporting Hamilton than Mercedes, which also played a role in the Briton opting to switch sides.

  • Henry Cavill’s New Film Promises Explosive Blend of ‘Inglourious Basterds’ and Robert Downey Jr.’s Swagger – Brace for a Wild Ride!

    Henry Cavill’s New Film Promises Explosive Blend of ‘Inglourious Basterds’ and Robert Downey Jr.’s Swagger – Brace for a Wild Ride!

    The upcoming film with Cavill will mix war, wits, espionage and all the intellectual intelligence that one could think of.

    There will always be enough room for a wacky and cynical action film on the release schedule, and in the future, Henry Cavill is all set to bring The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, a film by prolific director Guy Ritchie, which is setting itself up to be a promising movie.

    Even with just the trailer, it has showcased just how unhinged it’s willing to be to achieve that wow-factor from the audience.

    Henry Cavill in a still from The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

    To corroborate that belief, Cavill’s co-star from the movie, Alex Pettyfer, has laid down the things that make this worth everyone’s time. In a recent interview, the star revealed that this film has hints of several past classics like Robert Downey Jr.’s Sherlock Holmes series and Brad Pitt’s Inglourious Basterds through its progression.

    Henry Cavill’s The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare Has Narrative Cues From Several Iconic Films

    Alex Pettyfer in a still from The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

    Everyone expected British actor Henry Cavill to make a comeback in the film industry after he left both his roles as Superman in the DCEU and Geralt of Rivia in the hit Netflix series The Witcher, and 2024 seems to be the year he does so with a bang.

    After the release of his spy/action film Argylle a little more than a month back, the star is ready with another war/action film in the pipeline.

    With the Immortals star soon to be seen in filmmaker Guy Ritchie’s upcoming The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, his co-star from the project, Alex Pettyfer sat down with MovieWeb for an interview, where he talked about how this film was an amalgamation of many great action and war-era films that people loved in the past.

    Along with Cavill’s own The Man from U.N.C.L.E, this movie also has hints of Oscar-winning actor Robert Downey Jr.‘s Sherlock Holmes series, along with Brad Pitt and filmmaker Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds, which will all make for a wild ride for the audience. He said:

    “The film has an unbelievable cast. Dear friends of mine, Eiza GonzálezHenry CavillHenry GoldingAlan RitchsonHero Fiennes Tiffin, and it is an absolute wild ride. I can’t give you anymore, but it is a wild, wild, wild ride. My favorite films of Guy’s, and in general, are Sherlock HolmesThe Man from U.N.C.L.E. This is like meshing these films together with a little pinch of Inglourious Basterds and just a little pinch of Snatch. It’s a very good film.”

    Thus, with so many high praises and parallel comparisons to some exceptional films, Pettyfer has definitely hyped up the public for his upcoming movie.

    What Is The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare About?

    A still from The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

    Considering that this film is based on real-life historical events that took place during The Second World War, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare was created with the unhinged filmmaking style of Ritchie and is sure to leave an impression on the public.

    The film follows the events that led to the creation of the Special Operations Executive, the covert British World War II organization that was formed in 1940 by then-Prime Minister Winston Churchill to give Great Britain an edge over its enemies.

    The film will tell the tale of the covert operatives who were sent on Espionage and Reconnaissance missions into Nazi-occupied Europe and how it changed history to what we know today.

    The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, in cinemas on 19th April, 2024.

    With Lewis Hamilton moving to Ferrari in 2025, there will soon be a vacancy in Mercedes. Many drivers are lining up to snatch the empty seat and become a member of the F1 grid. Various experts have also chimed in with their opinions over who should take the seat. While some argue in favor of youth, others claim an experienced driver should take up the seat. Speaking exclusively to The SportsRush‘s Tanish Chachra, former McLaren team member Marc Priestley believes Fernando Alonso is a good prospect.

    “I personally hope that he inherits Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes. I mean, I’m not predicting it. I think it would be a very wise choice for Toto Wolff to make. I think it would be a very good move for Fernando Alonso. And I think fans worldwide would be extraordinarily excited if they knew that in 2025 there would be Max Verstappen in a Red Bull, Lewis Hamilton in a Ferrari and Fernando Alonso in a Mercedes-Benz. How exciting would that be?”

    As the most experienced driver on the grid, Alonso could be a valuable asset for Mercedes. The Silver Arrows continue to struggle with the concept of their car, and Alonso could provide crucial insights into the concept and make it work much better. Additionally, with Andrea Kimi Antonelli soon to take over the reins, Alonso’s presence could also help hone the young driver’s talents and create a future world champion. The succession plan for Antonelli could stand to gain a lot from the expertise of someone like Alonso.

    Since the interview, a lot has changed in the F1 scene. There have been a series of controversies at Red Bull, and various reports indicate potential key departures from the team. Max Verstappen has also become a probable departure, allowing new rumors to pop up. Some even claim the Dutchman might soon be headed to Brackley to fill Hamilton’s vacant seat.

    Toto Wolff could partner up with Max Verstappen instead of Fernando Alonso

    In light of recent controversies at Red Bull, it is no surprise that many people might want to move away from the team. Given his global popularity, Max Verstappen would certainly not want his name attached to any controversy, and should things implode at Red Bull, the Dutchman would want a quick way out. Given the same, chances are that he may switch to Mercedes, especially after his father and manager were spotted chatting with Toto Wolff in Bahrain this year.

    Rumors of Carlos Sainz’s move to Mercedes are also gaining momentum, weakening Fernando Alonso’s case. People saw Sainz’s father coming out of the Mercedes hospitality box in Jeddah, sparking rumors of contract talks between them. Sainz’s cousin was also in the mix, as Toto Wolff walked alongside them as they made their way out.

    Given that F1 will see regulation changes in 2026, many believe Mercedes will be the team to beat. After struggling with the current regulations, resurgence will be the Silver Arrows’ only goal. Their understanding of the regulations in 2026 might take them back to the top of the F1 mound.

    Max Verstappen has achieved prominence by capitalizing on Red Bull’s dominance, evident via his 56 Grands Prix victories and three world championships so far. Moreover, the Austrian outfit has started their 2024 campaign with back-to-back 1-2 finishes. While doing so, Verstappen remained at the top step of the podium, claiming victories in both Sakhir and Jeddah by a margin of over 22 and 13 seconds, respectively. Interestingly, amid his continued dominance, McLaren driver Lando Norris has come up to discuss the implications of the Dutchman’s performance in Bahrain on his team.

    According to Motorsportweek.com, the Briton said that Verstappen’s dominance wasn’t a matter of concern for him. This is because, according to Norris, Red Bull invested a lot of effort in developing this year’s car. Therefore, they certainly would’ve been this fast. What Norris found interesting, though, was that he was rather happy with how close McLaren could come to Red Bull.

    The #4 driver said, “Even in qualifying, you know it wasn’t like he had an easy one and was that convincing. You know they started their development on that car a long time before everyone else so you’re not surprised at all. But actually you’re surprised at how close you were and how close a lot of teams were.”

    Norris subsequently provided an instance to support his thoughts. He said that the difference between Red Bull and Ferrari would have been far smaller if Carlos Sainz did not get stuck trailing Sergio Perez during the middle stint in Bahrain. According to the McLaren driver, this is a major sign of hope for his squad and other teams.

    Andrea Stella boosts Lando Norris’s aspirations with early development plans

    Red Bull continues to be the fastest team on the grid and now that they are starting to gain an advantage even on the street circuits, the team is looking much more formidable. Ferrari and McLaren, on the other hand, are still trying to catch up to the Austrian squad. Interestingly, while Ferrari has gotten closer to Red Bull the most, McLaren appeared to be feeling the limits of their car in some areas during the Saudi weekend.

    Considering this, McLaren team boss Andrea Stella recently spoke about the difficulties the team faced in maximizing the car’s strengths on various tracks. According to Motorsportweek.com, the Italian said that whoever had trailed McLaren in the first sector had lost ground. This happened because the MCL38 responds well to the fast-moving corner, where it is sufficient to execute the initial steer input.

    However, according to Stella, the car begins to falter a ‘little bit’ when there are lengthy turns, like the final one. As a result, this prompts the team to lose time, which is exactly where teams like Ferrari are very strong.

    Later, Stella added that keeping these issues aside, the battle remains about the development. While detailing it, he said that this development becomes very visible after your team comes with an aerodynamic upgrade.

    While wrapping up, Stella mentioned that in terms of other things, a team can deliver from a mechanical or aerodynamical point of view, and, notably at the moment, McLaren has both in the pipeline. Therefore, McLaren will be delivering a few milliseconds’ worth of minor upgrades for the Australian and Japanese GP.
