Devastated by the bushfires, Australian NBA players made effort in helping the people fighting to eliminate the fire by donating $750,000 USD for the relief and recovery in their homeland.

Nine players, namely Ben Simmons, Aaron Baynes, Dante Exum, Matthew Dellavedova, Joe Ingles, Thon Maker, Patty Mills, Ryan Broekhodd and Jonah Bolden, partnered with the NBA and NBA Players Association (NBPA) Foundation to make the help possible.

They also gave their utmost sympathy to their fellow Aussies that were affected by the fire, but most importantly, the forest that was wiped out along with an estimated 1.25 billion animals in it.

“We are heartbroken over the devastation these fires are causing all across our homeland. Our thoughts are with our families, friends and all of the people of Australia. We hope you feel our love and support and know that we will continue to bring awareness to this crisis globally and provide assistance in any way we can,” the players said in a joint statement.

Tyson Fury's Dad sets constraints on the AJ-Fury rematch

The “Gypsy King” Tyson Fury (33-0-1) is set to rematch with two-time former unified world heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua (26-3-0) next year but Fury’s dad pushes Joshua vs Wilder first.

Deontay Wilder, “The Bronze Bomber” (43-2-1), former WBC heavyweight champ, is the first American world heavyweight champ since 2007. He defended his title for 10 times.

But, Wilder lost to Fury twice after their trilogy last October 9, 2021 in an eleventh round KO.

John Fury blurted to The Daily Mail that many boxers are ducking Wilder because they are afraid of him. He added that only his son defeated Wilder twice yet he praised the latter’s power.

As of this writing, the said rematch is still unclear however, DAZN reported last September 23, 2023 that promoter Eddie Hearns got an venue offer to stage the fight next year.

Nikola Jokic, Lebron James will kick off the NBA 2023-24 season.

The unfinished business between the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers will resume on October 24, 2023 in Ball Arena Denver, Colorado.

It can be recalled that the Nuggets swept the Lakers in the Western Conference. Shockingly, they advanced to their very first NBA Finals in franchise history with 4 – 0 in the Western Conference Finals.

“I know how great he is,” James said in the press conference last May 2023 about Jokic.

Jokic won MVP of the Western Conference Finals after he exploded with 27.8 points, 14.5 rebounds and 11.8 assists.

On the other hand, Lebron James felt humiliated with a sweep loss though it is not his first time to be swept. James got swept also last 2018, when his Cavaliers clashed with the Golden State Warriors.

Meanwhile, Lebron is expected to erupt vs the Nuggets.

Crawford no match to Canelo at 168 – GGG coach

Gennady Golovkin (GGG) former coach Abel Sanchez presumes that Terrence Crawford is no match to Mexican pound for pound king Canelo Alvarez at 168 lbs.

In an interview by Fight Hub TV last October 9, 2023, GGG coach said that Canelo vs Crawford is laughable.

Sanchez is a Mexican-American trainer and coach of Gennady Golovkin who is the real rival of Canelo.

Undefeated and undisputed welterweight champion Crawford (40 – 0) has defeated his rival Errol Spence jr. last July 29, 2023 but still not enough to win vs Canelo.

It can be recalled that both Crawford and Spence Jr. have been craving to fight the Mexican superstar but to no avail.

When asked if Crawford can win vs Canelo, Sanchez said: “He [Crawford] gets beat. So, in my opinion, that’s not a good fight.”
