I had a 1500-word piece about the push to bring HBCUs back to the forefront of collegiate boxing. If you've got a minute, check the story out.
Thank you to the Morehouse Boxing Club, Howard University and the HBCU Boxing League.

Comments on this prove his point too. Dana and the UFC cultivated this right wing M*GA audience. The fighters play into it as well so naturally it was going to turn ppl who are Black or lean left off. + Quality of fights dropping, I’ve seen maybe 2 events in 2 years.
The US audience is moved by fights, not fighters.
It's tough to meaningfully break through during the college football, NFL, NBA, etc seasons in the US without two names.
To boxing fans, Jai Opetaia is a known commodity. To the average US Netflix subscriber, he is an unknown.
Boxing media doesn’t have much etiquette , not all but some do. Wild Wild West. I enjoy quite a few boxing media work and content but some of yall are insane. 😂
Dan Lanning and Lincoln Riley have coached circles around Ryan Day and his entire staff over the last two weeks. On both sides of the ball.

“I know so much stuff about lil dawg, I don’t say nothing… He wanna be a girl so bad. We not gonna judge you, just come out and do it.
He’s a woman beater. Tank beat a bitch up in my face at a basketball game. I sat on that sh*t for years and never said nothing.”
the chloe hate is forced & i overly despise the way yall tear down talented women once yall decide to write them off bc they don’t check boxes exactly how you want them to. she’s too this, or not enough that. like what you like.. or don’t & move around. the hate train is weird.
I'll take Pat McAfee that a University of Utah student calling him 'corny' made him honestly feel uncomfortable.
I would politely ask him to consider how Mississippi student Mary Kate Cornett felt when he used his show to amplify a false rumor about an 18-year-old's sex life.
In a new poll, 15% of Americans said they believe between 1 and 5% of NCAA athletes are transgender.
14% think between it's between 6 and 25%.
Meanwhile, an NCAA spokesperson confirmed that the current number is "effectively" zero
