British-Nigerian heavyweight boxer Moses Itauma has pledged to bounce back following the first loss of his professional career, a ninth-round knockout against Filip Hrgovic at London’s O2 Arena on August 30. Following his discharge from the hospital as a precaution, the 21-year-old took to Instagram to congratulate Hrgovic, acknowledge that he fell short against a more seasoned opponent, and express gratitude to his supporters, Queensberry, and DAZN.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Although Itauma dominated large portions of the bout—pushing past six rounds for the first time—his stamina visibly waned in the eighth round, opening the door for Hrgovic to secure the stoppage and drop his record to 14 wins and one defeat. Hrgovic noted that Itauma was the best opponent he has faced but observed that fatigue ultimately proved vital, while promoter Frank Warren pointed out that the youngster sustained a leg injury during the clash. Despite the setback, boxing figures like Tyson Fury dismissed the long-term impact of the loss, and Hrgovic remains confident that Itauma can capture a world title if he refines his pacing for longer fights.

Nearly thirty years after the 1996 murder of 25-year-old hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur, a Las Vegas jury found 63-year-old former gang leader Duane “Keffe D” Davis guilty of first-degree murder involving a deadly weapon. Following a brief deliberation, the foreperson read the guilty verdict in court, and Davis—who faces a potential sentence of life without parole—informed Judge Carli Kierny of his plans to appeal.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The shooting occurred on September 7, 1996, in Las Vegas shortly after Shakur attended a Mike Tyson boxing match. While riding in a BMW front passenger seat alongside Death Row Records co-founder Marion “Suge” Knight, a white Cadillac pulled up at a traffic light and a gunman opened fire, wounding Knight and fatally striking Shakur. Prosecutors maintained that the attack was revenge for an earlier casino dispute where members of Shakur’s group assaulted Davis’ nephew, prompting Davis to procure a weapon and hunt down the rapper. As the sole surviving person from inside the Cadillac at the time of the arrest, former South Side Compton Crips leader Davis was accused of handing the weapon to another passenger and telling him to shoot.

Although the case stalled for decades, it gained traction through Davis’ own public admissions, media interviews, and his 2019 memoir, Compton Street Legend. Despite later pleading not guilty and reversing his stance, the prosecution successfully introduced these recorded statements and writings as confessions. Defense attorney Michael Sanft countered that the book and police interviews contained fictional exaggerations meant for publicity rather than factual confessions, arguing there was no independent physical evidence linking Davis to the crime.

Shakur, celebrated globally for iconic tracks like “California Love” and “All Eyez on Me,” remains one of the most prominent figures of 1990s hip-hop. Davis is set to receive his sentence on October 13.
