The IBF notified Alvarez of the decision to strip him of his title in a letter sent out Thursday. “It is crystal clear from the correspondence that on July 26, 2019, (Golden Boy matchmaker) Robert Diaz, on behalf of Golden Boy Promotions, agreed that Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez would relinquish the IBF middleweight championship title, with no further negotiations or purse bid, if there was no completed deal between him and Derevyanchenko by the agreed upon extended deadline of Monday July 29, 2019 at 3 p....

The 28-year-old moved one step closer to that goal Saturday night as he defeated a game Daniel Jacobs by unanimous decision (116-112, 115-113, 115-113) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to capture the IBF middleweight title and retain his WBA and WBC championships.

That changes next week. The Hurricanes clinched their first postseason berth in a decade Thursday night by beating the New Jersey Devils 3-1 after Faulk scored the go-ahead goal in the second period. “It’s exciting, everyone can see all the emotion out of the group and in here right now, there’s still a bit of a vibe,” said Faulk, with teammates whooping and clapping in the background. “It’s great, and we’re not happy yet, right?...

Guillermo Cantu said Friday that the announcement that the United bid had received a 4.0 out of 5.0 from FIFA after doing risk assessments. The North African nation’s bid earned just a 2.7. “It confirms what we knew that having a responsible candidacy with all the stadiums already constructed, all the training bases practically constructed and operating, all the communication centers mostly ready now and definitely ready within eight years” Cantu said at a news conference....

When the 2.0 title update dropped, no event quests were available. However, on April 30th in Japan, one of the event quests dropped. It was released to fairly little fanfare, but players would be notified of its existence when booting up the game.

Starting in early 2017 with the release of Resident Evil 7, Capcom started to see a lot more mainstream success compared to the beginning of the 2010s. From that point onward, nearly every new installment in each of the company’s respective franchises has received a great deal of popularity and success. Though, during the first quarter of 2020, that popularity reached unseen financial heights because of the global pandemic....

Unfortunately, Pragmata seems to have disappeared. After it was revealed in mid-2020, Pragmata fans reasonably presumed that they’d hear something about the game during at least one of 2021’s mid-summer game conferences, like E3 or Gamescom. Pragmata was nowhere to be found, which makes some fans anxious about its state of development, especially after its initial announcement at a high-profile Sony event. The unexpected silence makes one worry that Pragmata will suffer the same fate as Capcom’s Deep Down, which has completely fallen off the radar....

“A” emphasizes their focus on Arts. Apparently, their cousins at Lucasfilm aren’t as insecure about their expertise. Frankly, we’d always hoped “intercapping” was our idea. And in the tough back alleys of the Net, they still call us CyberScope.

Condit has taken on the look of a hunted dog. His suits hang on him, and his trademark megawatt smile has dimmed to a flicker. Without any clues that might lead to Chandra Levy, the police are no nearer to solving the case today than they were when she disappeared 11 weeks ago.

Newly anointed front runner John Kerry wasn’t a target the way Dean was when he had the lead. With negative attacks backfiring in Iowa, everybody was on his best behavior. “Nice try,” Joe Lieberman replied amiably as ABC’s Peter Jennings pressed him to critique his rivals on their ability to push back against the GOP on values issues. Along with an air of exhaustion, there was a sense the candidates didn’t quite know what to do now that they didn’t have Dean to kick around any more....

“My father had nothing to do with anything, and he’s lost a lot of money,” says John Feehery, press secretary to the House speaker. Feehery’s father doesn’t work for Enron, and doesn’t even own Enron stock. He lives in Chicago, far from the company’s epicenter in Houston. Yet he is taking a financial bath because the money market where he is invested has significant Enron holdings. The senior Feehery’s balance sheet won’t suffer as much as the retirement accounts of thousands of Enron’s employees, whose nest eggs were wiped out when the company’s stock plummeted....

Tottenham vs Chelsea – It is fascinating to see how this fixture has grown in recent years to the position where this could be considered as a match between title rivals. It always had the feisty edge because of location, but Tottenham’s growth in recent years has made them be considered as one of the contenders for the title. This season, though, there is even more at stake because of the two managers....

The Atlanta United star was caught off guard by the presenter. After the greatest goal-scoring season in MLS history, the Venezuelan striker got a surprise when countryman and Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte showed up Thursday at United’s training facility to hand out the Golden Boot. Inciarte said Martinez’s 31-goal season , which shattered the league’s previous scoring record, provided a much-needed bit of good news to their troubled homeland....

The NFL isn’t lucrative for everyone. Good quarterbacks are the exception to that rule. And how many signal-callers are better than the Bills’ Josh Allen? He has established himself as one of the league’s most entertaining watches. He slings the ball like it’s filled with helium. He can jink past defenders with ease. And at 6-5 and 237 pounds, he’s a bruiser capable of both standing in the pocket and leaving his mark on would-be tacklers....

Gordon saw his roller-coaster time with Cleveland end after six on-and-off seasons when he was traded to New England in 2018. After the Pats cut him last year, the Seahawks picked him up on waivers. That experiment lasted about a month and a half before Gordon was suspended again. Gordon returned to Seattle in 2020 and hoping to be reinstated yet again by the NFL, but that was rescinded before he was released in March 2021....

The outfielder reported to camp in Surprise, Ariz., a week early and went through a series of workouts Tuesday, but he acknowledged afterward that he is far from 100 percent healthy. Coming off a pair of knee surgeries last fall, Hamilton told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram he still has pain in his left knee now that anti-inflammatory medicine administered in January has worn off.
