Boxing Icon Muhammad Ali's Childhood Home in Louisville Up for Sale

The childhood home of boxing legend Muhammad Ali is for sale, according to Bruce Schreiner of the Associated Press.
The house is one of three properties included in the deal, with the owners seeking $1.5 million.
The home itself was converted into a museum years ago after undergoing extensive renovations. Schreiner wrote that one of the adjoining houses was turned into a welcome center as well.
George Bochetto, one of the co-owners, told Schreiner that "the best possible result" would have the buyer keep the property as is, but it's unclear whether that's explicitly outlined in the listing.
"This is a part of Americana," Bochetto said. "This is part of our history. And it needs to be treated and respected as such."
Ali was born in Louisville and remained there through his formative years. The city is also connected to one of the more enduring—and possibly apocryphal—stories from his life. He purportedly threw his gold medal from the 1960 Summer Olympics into the Ohio River after returning home from Rome and encountering the same level of racism he experienced before becoming a national hero.
In addition to his childhood home becoming a museum, the city of Louisville named its airport in Ali's honor in 2019, while the Muhammad Ali Center opened in downtown in 2005.
George Foreman Files Countersuit After Sexual Abuse Allegations

Boxing legend George Foreman has filed a countersuit against a woman who accused him of sexual abuse when she was a minor 45 years ago.
Per TMZ Sports, Foreman says his accuser "stepped outside" the protection of the lawsuit when she detailed her allegations in a November news conference. In August, he was sued for allegedly grooming and abusing her and another girl in the 1970s.
Foreman's countersuit states the allegations are "entirely fabricated" and there is "zero corroborating evidence in the form of documents, photographs, letters, or witnesses to support ... false claims against Foreman." He added that his accuser is "hoping that the passage of time will excuse her complete lack of evidence."
Foreman echoed his allegation from July that he was a victim of extortion, saying that his accuser demanded $12 million to stop her from going public with the details of her lawsuit.
The 74-year-old is seeking unspecified damages and said he has suffered from "anxiety, sleeplessness, worry, shock and humiliation" since the news conference.
Deontay Wilder vs. Robert Helenius: Fight Odds, Live Stream, Predictions

Deontay Wilder returns to the ring Saturday, looking to chart a path back to the top of the heavyweight division. The power puncher takes on Robert Helenius in a WBC world title eliminator on a pay-per-view card from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Wilder last fought in October 2021, losing to Tyson Fury for the second time in a row. He was outclassed in both of those fights, but that doesn't mean the former WBC titleholder isn't worthy of another shot at a belt.
The 35-year-old is a perfect 42-0 against fighters not named Fury, and the latter may not be in the game for much longer.
If Wilder can return to his winning ways, he just might get another shot at glory.
Wilder vs. Helenius Fight Info
When: Saturday, Oct. 15 at 9 p.m. ET (main card)
Where: Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York
TV: Fox Sports PPV
Live stream: Fox Sports PPV, Fite.TV ($74.99)
Odds: Wilder -800, Helenius +500
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.
Wilder is undoubtedly the name selling this pay-per-view, but Helenius isn't a fighter to be overlooked.
The Nordic Nightmare was considered a potential star a little over a decade ago, even scoring a split-decision win over Dereck Chisora in 2011. But injuries and some lackluster showings derailed his career, and he's never been able to maneuver his way into a world title challenge, though he's come close.
A pair of dominant stoppage wins over the previously undefeated Adam Kownacki has put Helenius in position for a nice payday and a potential showcase against Wilder. And the Sweden-born slugger is looking to capitalize on the opportunity.
"I'm really happy to get this opportunity, of course. I've been training and boxing for 25 years, and I've had my ups and downs. I feel like everything is connecting, and that's why I'm here," the 38-year-old told reporters.
Helenius will have to show the same skill and spirit he's displayed in recent fights against Kownacki if he's to score a significant upset. Wilder is not the most technically savvy of fighters, but he has a devastating right hand and knows how to set it up well. His highlight reel speaks for itself.
There is, of course, concern that his losses to Fury may have taken something out of him. He was stopped twice in both fights and suffered a total of five knockdowns. Those are the kind of beatings that can permanently alter a boxer.
Then again, Wilder has spent much of his career dishing out swift punishment thanks to his legendary power, and he has had a full year to recover. It wouldn't be surprising to see him put in a sharp performance and patiently set up Helenius for a late show-stopping number.
Wilder has also set new goals for himself with the Fury trilogy behind him. He's called out the likes of Anthony Joshua and professed a desire to fight at least three more years.
"I only want to do this until 40," Wilder told Ben Baby of ESPN.com. "I feel like I have a little bit more time left that I can provide my service to my greatness. And that's what I'm going to do."
If his heart is truly in it, Wilder is a good bet to take down Helenius. Fury is considered the genius of his heavyweight generation, but the Tuscaloosa, Alabama native has managed to knock him down four times in three fights, and was seconds away from winning their first meeting in 2018.
Any version of Wilder that is even close to his peak should be enough to get a stoppage against a dangerous but overpowered Helenius.

George Foreman Sued for Alleged Sexual Assault of 2 Minors in 1970s

Two women reportedly filed lawsuits in Los Angeles on Wednesday saying former professional boxer George Foreman sexually abused them in the 1970s when they were minors.
TMZ Sports obtained the lawsuits that are seeking unspecified damages.
One of the women said she met Foreman through her father, who worked with the boxer, when she was approximately eight years old. She said he started "grooming" her by "taking her out for ice cream and allowing her to sit on his lap as [he] drove his car" and eventually engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior when she was 13 years old and sexual intercourse when she was 15 years old.
He was in his 20s.
The other woman said she also met Foreman through her father, who she said was the boxer's "long-time advisor."
She said she was nine years old when she met him and that approximately six years later he started to "molest and sexually abuse" her until she was 16.
While the women said Foreman "did not deny the allegations" when he was previously confronted about his actions by a friend, the boxer released a statement to TMZ Sports in July and denied the allegations.
"I adamantly and categorically deny these allegations," he said. "The pride I take in my reputation means as much to me as my sports accomplishments, and I will not be intimidated by baseless threats and lies."
Foreman said the women are attempting to "extort millions of dollars each from me and my family."
Foreman is 73 years old. The final fight of his boxing career came in 1997.
Oleksandr Usyk Beats Anthony Joshua via Decision to Retain Heavyweight Titles

Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) put together another excellent performance in his blockbuster rematch against Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs), showing off great strength, accuracy and stamina to score a split-decision win and retain his WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO world heavyweight titles on Saturday night in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The judges scored the bout 116-112, 115-113, 113-115 in favor of Usyk.
Usyk, 35, faced a tougher test this time around from Joshua, whom he defeated by unanimous decision 11 months ago in London to become world heavyweight champion. The Ukrainian fended off some early challenges and a powerful late surge. He was at his best in the middle rounds and from the 10th round on, using his speed and movement to outclass his opponent.
"I devote this victory to my country, my family, my team and to the military defending the country," he said after the win, per The Athletic's Greg Rosenstein. "This is already history. Many generations are going to watch this fight, especially the round when someone tried to beat me hard. But I turned it in a different way."
After becoming the undisputed champion at cruiserweight, Usyk moved up to the heavyweight ranks in 2019. He's 4-0 now in the division and has a chance to become an undisputed champion for a second time if he can put together a fight with WBC titleholder Tyson Fury.
Joshua, who called this fight a "must-win" in the buildup, didn't appear to take the loss well. He confronted Usyk before taking the microphone and giving an emotional, long-winded speech.
Working with trainer Robert Garcia for the first time, the 32-year-old Joshua made some savvy adjustments in the rematch. He was better at establishing the jab and making use of his towering frame. The early rounds saw him land some nice body shots, something that he wasn't able to do until the middle rounds of the first meeting.
Usyk was still having his moments, but he had to work harder for them this time around. He looked smooth and confident in his approach, firing off the jab and sneaking in some strong left-handed counter shots. He built on the same techniques that worked in the first meeting, using feints to set up punches from awkward angles and moving around the ring on his quick feet.
The fifth and sixth rounds saw Usyk get into a rhythm, and Joshua's offense faltered a bit. Joshua has admitted that southpaws like Usyk give him trouble, and again he struggled to fend off left-handed body shots. Usyk even led with the left on a few occasions, looking to surprise the former two-time champion.
Just when it looked like Usyk might take complete control of the match, Joshua dug deep and found a way to get back into the fight. He started to let his hands go more in the eighth round, forcing Usyk to be more careful in his own approach and even backing him up on a few occasions.
That work in the eighth set up a great ninth frame for Joshua, as the body work appeared to hurt Usyk and took the fight to the ropes. He wasn't able to score a knockdown like he had so many times in his career, but it was a thrilling resurgence.
Incredibly, Usyk gathered himself and put on his own clinic in the 10th round, staggering Joshua and increasing the pressure. He looked as if the previous round hadn't happened, and it was truly a championship moment from one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport.
After spending time with local defense forces this year following Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, Usyk put himself through a grueling training camp to prepare for Joshua. All the training clearly paid off, as it was Usyk's lungs and legs that carried him through the last rounds, even as Joshua went hunting for a knockout blow.
The boxing world will be looking to see what Fury has to say in the aftermath of this fight. Fury has hinted at retirement, but the opportunity to unify the four major titles could be too good to pass up.
As for Joshua, his best opportunity may be a potentially lucrative match against former world champion Deontay Wilder. It would be a fascinating contest, but Joshua may also consider retirement after having gone through several punishing battles and losing three of his last five matches.
Oleksandr Usyk vs. Anthony Joshua: Fight Odds, Live Stream, Predictions

Four of the five world heavyweight titles are on the line Saturday when Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) and Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) meet in their highly anticipated rematch from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Usyk, 35, has proved himself to be one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport after making the jump from cruiserweight, where he was an undisputed champion, to the heavyweight ranks. He's 3-0 in boxing's top division, with the unanimous-decision win over Joshua in September earning him the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO world titles.
Joshua, 32, is looking to bounce back from a major defeat for the second time in his career. He lost his bounty of heavyweight titles in a historic upset loss to Andy Ruiz in June 2019, but he managed to win the rematch six months later in Saudi Arabia. Joshua was again a heavy favorite against Usyk, but the match saw the knockout artist struggle with the Ukrainian southpaw's speed and superior technique.
If Joshua is to make history and become the fifth three-time heavyweight world champion, he'll need to find a way to make sure his arsenal of power shots get through Usyk's defenses.

Preview, Predictions
There wasn't much to like for Joshua in his first meeting with Usyk. The Englishman struggled to deal with Usyk's speed and pressure from the get-go, and by the end of the third round, he had taken a couple of shots that left him on unsteady legs. He did have some success in the middle rounds by going to the body, but Usyk regained control in the later rounds, confounding Joshua with his feints and attacks from the southpaw stance.
To his credit, Joshua seems well aware he needs an overhaul if he wants to exact revenge on his opponent. He left trainer Rob McCracken and is now under the guidance of former BBWA Trainer of the Year Robert Garcia. He's also admitted he struggles with southpaws.
"I need adjustments to deal with a southpaw because to me these lefties are a nightmare. I swear that if Oleksandr wasn't a lefty I would have smoked him. One hundred per cent," said Joshua, per the Daily Mail's Jeff Powell.
Joshua will have to hope he's figured things out in training camp, as Usyk's stance isn't going to change, although the comment may have inspired this shadowboxing session from Thursday.
While Joshua is hoping a new trainer and fight plan can help him become a champion again, Usyk is building upon the skills and talents that have seen him win all 19 of his professional bouts.
According to George Glinski of the Express, Usyk is adding muscle and working on his conditioning with three-a-day training sessions and five-hour swims. Extra weight and superb conditioning can perhaps help Usyk get to Joshua's suspect chin earlier and keep him from suffering the mid-round lull that nearly allowed the then-champion back into the fight.
There's more to this fight for Usyk than proving yet again he's a worthy champion. Earlier this year, Usyk was part of local defense forces protecting his native Ukraine from Russia's invasion. Usyk says he's not only fighting for himself but his country as well.
“At one point,” Usyk said, per Steve Douglas of the Associated Press. “I went to the hospital where soldiers were wounded and getting rehabilitation, and they asked me to go, to fight (Joshua), to fight for the country."
“They said if you go there, you’re going to help our country even more instead of fighting inside Ukraine.”
If that weren't motivation enough, the winner of this bout may just have a shot at further glory in the form of a unification bout with Tyson Fury, the WBC and lineal world heavyweight champion. The 34-year-old Fury recently announced his retirement, but promoter Bob Arum believes he would be "up for the challenge" if a fight can get made with either Usyk or Joshua, per Sky Sports.
So who will come up big in Saudi Arabia and earn a potentially historic meeting with Fury? Bleacher Report's Lyle Fitzsimmons believes Joshua can get a decision win, noting "it'll take a near-perfect effort from the Englishman to accomplish it, given the last result, but we'll stay on board until fooled twice."
Fury, on the other hand, believes the current champion can handle a more aggressive approach from Joshua, saying "Robert Garcia trying to train him to be on the front foot or whatever and be aggressive will only enable Usyk to land more often," per the Manchester Evening News' Charlie Wilson.
Ring Magazine polled 21 boxing insiders and experts; 18 are backing Usyk, while two think Joshua will win as a slight underdog and one felt it will go to a draw. Of those picking Usyk, only four predicted him to win by stoppage, as many are expecting a close contest.
No matter the outcome, the winner will be in position to demand a fight with Fury or earn a lucrative payday against a title challenger.

George Foreman Denies Sexual Abuse Allegations, Says He's Victim of Extortion

Boxing legend George Foreman alleges that he is being extorted by two women who he says made up allegations that he sexually abused them.
According to TMZ Sports, the two women intend to file a lawsuit this week in Los Angeles against Foreman saying that he sexually abused them in the 1970s. The fathers of both women "apparently had a friendship and working relationship with Foreman decades ago."
Foreman released a statement on Wednesday denying the allegations and saying the women are trying to extort money from him:
"Over the past six months, two women have been trying to extort millions of dollars each from me and my family. They are falsely claiming that I sexually abused them over 45 years ago in the 1970s. I adamantly and categorically deny these allegations. The pride I take in my reputation means as much to me as my sports accomplishments, and I will not be intimidated by baseless threats and lies."
A source told TMZ Sports that the women have previously asked Foreman to pay each of them $12.5 million, but he believes the entire situation is part of "a coordinated extortion plot."
A former two-time heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist, Foreman is a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame. He is also an entrepreneur known for his George Foreman Grill. His net worth is estimated to be around $300 million, per TMZ Sports.
Foreman concluded his statement by indicating that he fully intends to fight the allegations.
"I am, and always will be, guided by my faith and trust in God," Foreman said. "I will work with my lawyers to fully and truthfully expose my accusers' scheme and defend myself in court. I don't pick fights, but I don't run away from them either."
Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte: Fight Odds, Live Stream, Predictions

Undefeated heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) will defend his WBC world title for the second time on Saturday night when he takes on Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs) at Wembley Stadium in London.
It's a blockbuster event, with 94,000 fans expected to pack into the stadium to witness the all-British heavyweight duel.
Whyte, 34, is the mandatory challenger for the WBC crown. This is his first chance at a proper world heavyweight title, a long-overdue opportunity considering he first won the WBC's interim world title in 2019.
Fury, 33, has been the WBC titleholder since beating Deontay Wilder in seven rounds in Feb. 2020. The "Gypsy King" knocked out Wilder again last year to defend the belt and now looks to do the same against Whyte.

Odds: Fury -550 (bet $550 to win $100), Whyte +400 (bet $100 to win $400)
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook
Saturday's match may be more than just another heavyweight title clash: it could be Fury's swan song.
The 33-year-old has said he will retire after facing Whyte, though not everyone is convinced. If he wins, some feel he may be tempted to take on the winner of the Oleksandr Usyk-Anthony Joshua rematch and try to unify the four major titles. A loss could also tempt him into a rematch.
Whether it's Fury's final showdown or not, there's no doubting the entertainment potential of this matchup. Fury is a big, agile pugilist who can fight behind the jab or string together power punches, while Whyte is an aggressive, skilled brawler with knockout power.
“The fans are in for a real treat," Fury said in his pre-fight press conference. "I know Dillian. I know him personally, and he knows me. And we're going to rock 'n' roll on fight night. We're ready to throw down and treat us all to a hell of a barnstorm."
There's little reason to doubt those words. Fury's fights against Wilder were highly entertaining, with the most recent bout seeing both men hit the canvas before Fury ended things with a clean right hand in the seventh round. Fury has the biggest bag of tricks in the division, but he's proved to be vulnerable at times. Wilder knocked him down in two different fights, and Otto Wallin managed to cut Fury and make things difficult for him in 2019.
It's those lapses in defense that Whyte will have to capitalize on if he wants to become champion. "The Body Snatcher" is coming off a knockout win over Alexander Povetkin In March 2021, avenging a stoppage loss to the Russian a year prior. He's also stopped the likes of Dereck Chisora and Lucas Browne, and he was the first fighter to visibly stun Joshua in 2015 (though Joshua's chin has since proved to be quite vulnerable).
Whyte has a solid resume, but he's well aware of the challenge the ultra-talented Fury presents.
“He might decide he wants to box or he wants to fight, so I need to be able to adapt and do my thing, and keep adapting to whatever he does. That's what it takes to win the fight. I'm just going to envision being able to adapt quickly and make the decision when I need to make it," Whyte said.
Adaptability is key, as a one-dimensional approach would be a disaster for Whyte. That was Wilder's shortcoming, as he was all too reliant on the supreme knockout power in his right hand. Wladimir Klitschko too seemed bereft of ideas when he struggled to get the jab going against a constantly-moving Fury back in 2015, the fight that saw Fury become world heavyweight champion for the first time.
If Fury wants to attack, Whyte has to rough him up and land punches to the body. If Fury wants to box on the outside, then it's again on Whyte to cut off the ring and find a way to connect with his power punches.
This will all prove to be exceedingly difficult for the challenger. Fury has a much longer reach (85" to 78", per BoxRec), faster hands and better defensive skills. He can also go for the knockout blow himself, as both of Whyte's losses have come via stoppage. Anything can happen in the heavyweight ranks, and if Whyte pulls off an upset, he'll have deserved it. But on Saturday, don't be surprised if Fury once again proves to be a level or two above his competition.

Deron Williams vs. Frank Gore: Fight Odds, Date, Live Stream and TV Schedule

Former NBA point guard Deron Williams and ex-NFL running back Frank Gore are set to face off in a heavyweight boxing match on the undercard of the Jake Paul-Tyron Woodley rematch Saturday night in Tampa, Florida.
Saturday's bout, scheduled for four rounds with a weight limit of 215 pounds, will mark the pro debuts for both combatants. Williams, 37, is a three-time NBA All-Star who spent the majority of his career with the Utah Jazz and the New Jersey/Brooklyn Nets. He last played in the NBA in 2016, splitting time between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Dallas Mavericks.
Gore, is a five-time Pro Bowl selection and the NFL's third all-time leading rusher with 16,000 yards. He was revered for his longevity at one of football's most physically demanding positions, and he last played for the New York Jets in 2020.
Both Williams and Gore have accomplished plenty in their chosen sports, and they will now look to prove themselves in a new context.
Williams vs. Gore Fight Info
When: Saturday, Dec. 18 at 9 p.m. ET (main card)
Where: Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida
Live stream/TV: Showtime pay-per-view ($59.95)
Odds: Williams -170 (bet $170 to win $100), Gore +140 (bet $100 to win $140)
Odds via DraftKings
It's natural to wonder how these two ended up as opponents in the ring. Unlike some of the other celebrity or crossover boxing matches that have popped up in the past couple of years, there's no feud here, no score to be settled. In this case, both men say they are fighting because they have long appreciated and been interested in combat sports.
According to the Washington Post's Ben Golliver, Williams has owned a mixed martial arts gym in Dallas since 2015, and he was also a wrestler before focusing his attention on basketball. He initially wanted to try his hand at MMA, but the pandemic derailed those plans. The opportunity for a boxing match came up, and the retired NBA playmaker decided he was ready to test himself.
"Fighting is the hardest thing you can do, mentally and physically," Williams said, per Golliver. "It's a grind. It takes a lot out of you. There's a certain level of fear of getting embarrassed and waking up not knowing what the hell just happened. At the same time, you're still making that walk. You're still doing something that a lot of people don't have the [guts] to do."
While Williams has more of a background in wrestling and MMA, Gore has been training as a boxer for several years. He started incorporating the sweet science into his offseason workouts as early as 2011, per SFGate.com's Scott Ostler. The regimen clearly did him some good, as Gore was able to play 16 years in the NFL, an almost unheard of number for a running back. He plans to carry the same toughness and tenacity he showed on the gridiron to the boxing ring.
"I'm taking this seriously. I want to look good, and of course, I want to win. When the fight is over on Saturday night, I want people to say, 'Man, whatever you put your mind into, you can do it.' This is no joke; a lot of people would be scared to get in the ring and go one-on-one with another guy," said Gore, per Bad Left Hook's Wil Esco.
While Gore might seem like a more sensible pick on Saturday night because of his football background, Williams is actually a slight favorite. That's likely thanks to his physical advantages, as Golliver noted he is six inches taller than Gore and has a nine-inch reach advantage.
If Gore is going to get the win in this four-rounder, he's going to have find a way to get past Williams' jab and hit the target at close range.
