Undefeated women's boxing star Claressa Shields expressed her belief this week that she could beat Jake Paul in a boxing match. Speaking to TMZ Sports , Shields made it clear that she feels Paul wouldn't be able to beat her or any highly ranked men's boxer for that matter, saying: "I don't think Jake Paul has the skills to get inside the ring with me. Or any of the guys at 154 pounds and up who is ranked in the rankings." Shields, 29, is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, and she owns a perfect career record of 15-0 as a professional boxer. She is the current holder of multiple titles in the heavyweight, light heavyweight and light middleweight divisions as well. The 27-year-old Paul has only been a pro boxer since 2020, but he has already compiled an 11-1 record, and he has quickly developed into one of the biggest stars and draws in the sport. That was apparent earlier this month when he faced 58-year-old former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in a fight that drew a huge crowd at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and did big streaming numbers for Netflix as well. Paul won the fight by unanimous decision, as Tyson seemingly struggled with the his balance after the first two rounds in his first official professional fight since 2005. Shields suggested that any criticism Paul receives is primarily due to his choice of opponents. Along with facing a nearly 60-year-old Tyson, Paul has gone up against multiple former UFC fighters such as Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, Nate Diaz and Anderson Silva. Coming out of the Paul vs. Tyson fight, there were plenty of conspiracy theories on social media about it being rigged, but Shields pushed back against that notion, stating that it was simply a case of a boxer well past his prime struggling against someone much younger. Shields added, "I'm happy Mike Tyson got what he wanted out of it. I'm happy he got out of the ring safe," noting that she has a "little bit" of respect for Paul due to the fact that he didn't go for a late knockout. As for Paul's place in the boxing landscape, Shields credited him with creating more interest in the sport, saying: "He's bringing more eyes to the sport and that's what you need. Hopefully everybody who is involved on that side can keep building from that and also create a real blueprint to where it can be used for generations to come." While it is unclear if there will be any true consideration given to a Paul vs. Shields fight, there has already been a ton of noise regarding Paul's next potential opponent. Multi-weight-class world champion Canelo Álvarez recently said he was not interested in facing Paul after Paul called him out, but IBF world heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois has laid down a challenge to Paul.Stratasys (NASDAQ:SSYS) Raised to “Buy” at StockNews.combet365 sportsbook 。

Die-hard Taylor Swift fans queue at daybreak for new Eras Tour merchandise at TargetAdvertisement The profile of the typical billionaire isn't all that surprising. Most of the world's billionaires are men, and the largest share work in finance or banking. Here's a breakdown of the billionaire class, according to a new report. If you're looking for a billionaire, you might as well be looking for a man in finance , trust fund, 6'5", blue eyes. Well, not exactly, but the typical member of the three-comma club isn't that different from the stereotype. Advertisement The typical billionaire is a man in his 60s, who lives in New York City, loves sports, and works in banking or finance, according to Altrata's 2024 Billionaire Census , which looked at the world's richest citizens as of 2023. Most of his wealth is probably tied up in public companies, though he also has a penchant for private jets, luxury yachts , and valuable cars. He is also, unlike the man in the TikTok jingle, self-made. There are more billionaires than ever in the world, a total of 3,323. Their cumulative net worth is $12.1 trillion, up 9% from last year thanks to a stock-market rebound. The United States is home to nearly one third of them, the largest concentration of any country. New York City alone has 144 billionaire inhabitants — more than any country besides the US, China , and Germany. Advertisement Most — 87% — of billionaires are male, and have amassed their fortunes in different ways than the world's 431 female billionaires. While the majority of all billionaires, about 60%, are fully self-made, men are more likely to be than female billionaires . In fact, 76% of the world's female billionaires have inherited at least part of their wealth, compared to 35% of male ones. Male billionaires are more likely to have public assets make up the largest share, or about 40%, of their wealth. Male tech billionaires whose fortunes are tied up in the companies they control or founded — like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos — skewed that number, according to the report. Advertisement Meanwhile, liquid assets, like cash and private holdings, are the largest asset classes for women. Both are more typically tied to inherited fortunes , Altrata found. The largest share of all billionaires, about 22%, work in finance or banking, but the largest portion, about 17%, of female billionaires spend most of their professional time in the nonprofit sector. The interests of male and female billionaires follow suit: 71% of women billionaires count philanthropy as a top interest, while sports was the most popular one for male billionaires. Among all billionaires, the top philanthropic cause was education, which includes gifts to alma maters — an especially popular form of giving in the US. Advertisement Billionaires are also more likely to splurge on different high-value items depending on their gender. Men prefer luxury vehicles — jets, yachts, cars — while women prefer property and art. In fact, male billionaires are almost four times as likely to own a car collection worth more than $1 million than their female counterparts. So, if you are looking for a man or woman, finance isn't a bad place to start. Failing that, why not try a gala or classic car show? We'll leave the choice of eye color up to you.

Kutztown falls to Slippery Rock in heartbreaking fashion in the second round of the NCAA Division II football tournament.As Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) highlights, the Trump transition team is already flouting precedent. Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call/ZUMA Donald Trump’s Cabinet appointees are not the only source of controversy in his transition back to the White House. On Thursday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) wrote the Administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA), which manages the functioning of federal agencies, to warn that the Trump transition team has refused to sign memoranda of understanding with the Biden-Harris administration. All prior presidents-elect have signed the agreements, which outline how the administrations will work together; one of them, for example, would allow the FBI under the current administration to conduct background checks on Trump’s nominees. Another would facilitate the Trump team’s national security clearances required to receive classified intelligence briefings before he assumes office. “The Trump team’s unprecedented refusal to sign agreements with the outgoing administration threatens the American public by hamstringing incoming officials’ ability to govern responsibly,” Warren writes. The refusal to publish the ethics code heightens “the risk of the incoming administration governing for the benefit of special interests rather than the American public.” On top of that, Trump’s transition team has yet to publish a full ethics code on the GSA website addressing how he will deal with his conflicts of interest, as required by a law that Trump himself passed in 2020. Warren’s letter notes that while the Trump team has published its own ethics code, “it includes nothing about how President-elect Trump will manage his own extensive financial conflicts of interest—which experts anticipate will be one of the most alarming corruption challenges of the incoming administration.” The refusal to publish the ethics code, Warren says, heightens “the risk of the incoming administration governing for the benefit of special interests rather than the American public.” As the New York Times reported Sunday, it’s possible these “special interests” could, in fact, be helping to fund the Trump transition: Because the Trump team has not signed a memorandum of understanding with the GSA that was due Sept. 1, they have been able to shield the names of donors to the transition. If the Trump transition had entered into the agreement, they would have to publicly disclose donors, each of whom would have an individual giving limit of $5,000—but the Trump team would have been able to access $7.2 million in federal funds to help with the costs of the transition. Trump is also reportedly the first president to circumvent this agreement, which seems to suggest his team thinks he can raise more from donors without being limited to the $5,000 cap per individual donor. But as one expert told the Times , it could come at a serious ethical cost: “When the money isn’t disclosed, it’s not clear how much everybody is giving, who is giving it and what they are getting in return for their donations,” said Heath Brown, a professor of public policy at John Jay College of Criminal Justice who studies presidential transitions. “It’s an area where the vast majority of Americans would agree that they want to know who is paying that bill.” In her letter to the GSA, Warren asks them to respond by December 5 to questions about how the agency is engaging with the Trump transition and the impacts of the Trump team’s lack of compliance with federal law. Spokespeople for the Trump transition team and the GSA did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Mother Jones on Sunday morning.

5 police officers hurt in Manila protest rallyNEW YORK (AP) — Chuck Woolery, the affable, smooth-talking game show host of “Wheel of Fortune,” “Love Connection” and “Scrabble” who later became a right-wing podcaster, skewering liberals and accusing the government of lying about COVID-19, has died. He was 83. Mark Young, Woolery's podcast co-host and friend, said in an email early Sunday that Woolery died at his home in Texas with his wife, Kristen, present. “Chuck was a dear friend and brother and a tremendous man of faith, life will not be the same without him,” Young wrote. Woolery, with his matinee idol looks, coiffed hair and ease with witty banter, was inducted into the American TV Game Show Hall of Fame in 2007 and earned a daytime Emmy nomination in 1978. In 1983, Woolery began an 11-year run as host of TV’s “Love Connection,” for which he coined the phrase, “We’ll be back in two minutes and two seconds,” a two-fingered signature dubbed the “2 and 2.” In 1984, he hosted TV’s “Scrabble,” simultaneously hosting two game shows on TV until 1990. “Love Connection,” which aired long before the dawn of dating apps, had a premise that featured either a single man or single woman who would watch audition tapes of three potential mates and then pick one for a date. A couple of weeks after the date, the guest would sit with Woolery in front of a studio audience and tell everybody about the date. The audience would vote on the three contestants, and if the audience agreed with the guest’s choice, “Love Connection” would offer to pay for a second date. Woolery told The Philadelphia Inquirer in 2003 that his favorite set of lovebirds was a man aged 91 and a woman aged 87. "She had so much eye makeup on, she looked like a stolen Corvette. He was so old he said, ‘I remember wagon trains.’ The poor guy. She took him on a balloon ride.” Other career highlights included hosting the shows “Lingo," “Greed” and “The Chuck Woolery Show,” as well as hosting the short-lived syndicated revival of “The Dating Game” from 1998 to 2000 and an ill-fated 1991 talk show. In 1992, he played himself in two episodes of TV’s “Melrose Place.” Woolery became the subject of the Game Show Network’s first attempt at a reality show, “Chuck Woolery: Naturally Stoned,” which premiered in 2003. It shared the title of the pop song in 1968 by Woolery and his rock group, the Avant-Garde. It lasted six episode and was panned by critics. Woolery began his TV career at a show that has become a mainstay. Although most associated with Pat Sajak and Vanna White, “Wheel of Fortune” debuted Jan. 6, 1975, on NBC with Woolery welcoming contestants and the audience. Woolery, then 33, was trying to make it in Nashville as a singer. “Wheel of Fortune” started life as “Shopper’s Bazaar,” incorporating Hangman-style puzzles and a roulette wheel. After Woolery appeared on “The Merv Griffin Show” singing “Delta Dawn,” Merv Griffin asked him to host the new show with Susan Stafford. “I had an interview that stretched to 15, 20 minutes,” Woolery told The New York Times in 2003. “After the show, when Merv asked if I wanted to do a game show, I thought, ‘Great, a guy with a bad jacket and an equally bad mustache who doesn’t care what you have to say — that’s the guy I want to be.’” NBC initially passed, but they retooled it as “Wheel of Fortune” and got the green light. After a few years, Woolery demanded a raise to $500,000 a year, or what host Peter Marshall was making on “Hollywood Squares.” Griffin balked and replaced Woolery with weather reporter Pat Sajak. “Both Chuck and Susie did a fine job, and ‘Wheel’ did well enough on NBC, although it never approached the kind of ratings success that ‘Jeopardy!’ achieved in its heyday,” Griffin said in “Merv: Making the Good Life Last,” an autobiography from the 2000s co-written by David Bender. Woolery earned an Emmy nod as host. Born in Ashland, Kentucky, Woolery served in the U.S. Navy before attending college. He played double bass in a folk trio, then formed the psychedelic rock duo The Avant-Garde in 1967 while working as a truck driver to support himself as a musician. The Avant-Garde, which tourbed in a refitted Cadillac hearse, had the Top 40 hit “Naturally Stoned,” with Woolery singing, “When I put my mind on you alone/I can get a good sensation/Feel like I’m naturally stoned.” After The Avant-Garde broke up, Woolery released his debut solo single “I’ve Been Wrong” in 1969 and several more singles with Columbia before transitioning to country music by the 1970s. He released two solo singles, “Forgive My Heart” and “Love Me, Love Me.” Woolery wrote or co-wrote songs for himself and everyone from Pat Boone to Tammy Wynette. On Wynette’s 1971 album “We Sure Can Love Each Other,” Woolery wrote “The Joys of Being a Woman” with lyrics including “See our baby on the swing/Hear her laugh, hear her scream.” After his TV career ended, Woolery went into podcasting. In an interview with The New York Times, he called himself a gun-rights activist and described himself as a conservative libertarian and constitutionalist. He said he hadn’t revealed his politics in liberal Hollywood for fear of retribution. He teamed up with Mark Young in 2014 for the podcast “Blunt Force Truth” and soon became a full supporter of Donald Trump while arguing minorities don’t need civil rights and causing a firestorm by tweeting an antisemitic comment linking Soviet Communists to Judaism. “President Obama’s popularity is a fantasy only held by him and his dwindling legion of juice-box-drinking, anxiety-dog-hugging, safe-space-hiding snowflakes,” he said. Woolery also was active online, retweeting articles from Conservative Brief, insisting Democrats were trying to install a system of Marxism and spreading headlines such as “Impeach him! Devastating photo of Joe Biden leaks.” During the early stages of the pandemic, Woolery initially accused medical professionals and Democrats of lying about the virus in an effort to hurt the economy and Trump’s chances for reelection to the presidency. “The most outrageous lies are the ones about COVID-19. Everyone is lying. The CDC, media, Democrats, our doctors, not all but most, that we are told to trust. I think it’s all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I’m sick of it,” Woolery wrote in July 2020. Trump retweeted that post to his 83 million followers. By the end of the month, nearly 4.5 million Americans had been infected with COVID-19 and more than 150,000 had died. Just days later, Woolery changed his stance, announcing his son had contracted COVID-19. “To further clarify and add perspective, COVID-19 is real and it is here. My son tested positive for the virus, and I feel for of those suffering and especially for those who have lost loved ones,” Woolery posted before his account was deleted. Woolery later explained on his podcast that he never called COVID-19 “a hoax” or said “it’s not real,” just that “we’ve been lied to.” Woolery also said it was “an honor to have your president retweet what your thoughts are and think it’s important enough to do that.” In addition to his wife, Woolery is survived by his sons Michael and Sean and his daughter Melissa, Young said.

OTTAWA - US President-elect Donald Trump said on Nov 30 he had a "very productive" meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in which they discussed border-related issues and other topics including trade, energy, and the Arctic. Mr Trudeau flew to Florida on the evening of Nov 29 and had dinner with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence, days after Republican Trump had pledged to impose tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports after he is sworn in as president in January. That pledge has raised fears of a trade war between the US and two of its biggest trading partners. Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum warned this week Trump's tariff plan would have dire consequences for both countries and suggested possible retaliation following his threat of across-the-board 25 per cent tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports. Trump wants to use tariffs as a tool to get Mexico and Canada to help stem the flow of illegal drugs into the US, particularly the deadly opioid fentanyl, and also migrants crossing illegally into the US. "We discussed many important topics that will require both Countries to work together to address, like the Fentanyl and Drug Crisis that has decimated so many lives as a result of Illegal Immigration, Fair Trade Deals that do not jeopardize American Workers, and the massive Trade Deficit the US has with Canada," Trump said, in a post on Truth Social. "Trudeau has made a commitment to work with us to end this terrible devastation of US Families," he added. Mr Trudeau's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment about his meeting with Trump. In a separate post, Trump called on the so-called Brics countries to commit to not creating a new currency or supporting another currency over the US dollar. If those countries do so they will face "100% tariffs", Trump said. Brics refers to original members of the intergovernmental group of economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. It also includes Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates. "We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty US Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful US Economy," Trump wrote.
