The knockdown scored by Nery caused a huge sensation, and many fighters will have added belief that they can halt Inoue if they land the right shot. However, Inoue's composed, calm, and professional reaction to the knockdown showed how hard it is for anyone to defeat him. Inoue is not only the best fighter on the planet right now but also the most consistently exciting fighter in the world, regardless of weight class.

Manny Pacquiao has admitted that his Olympic dream is over after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) rejected a request for him to compete in the Paris Games. The Philippine Olympic Committee announced the decision, and Pacquiao expressed his sadness and disappointment. He acknowledged the IOC's age limit of 40 for Olympic boxers and acknowledged the decision. The Philippines had requested a "universality place" for Pacquiao, who has never boxed in the Olympics. The IOC decision would deprive the Philippines of a "sure podium or first-ever gold" in Olympic boxing. Philippine Olympic Committee President Abraham Tolentino stated that Pacquiao would continue to support Filipino athletes in the Olympics.

Gervonta "Tank" Davis, a 29-year-old power puncher known as the face of boxing, is set to return to the UK for a summer fight. The Ring announced that Davis will be a headlining attraction for Premier Boxing Champions' multi-year deal with Amazon Prime Video in December 2023. Davis pled guilty in May 2023 to four counts of traffic violations stemming from a November 2020 crash. He has a history of fighting in England and was among the top nominees for Fighter of the Year by RingTV.com and the Boxing Writers Association of America. The Davis-Garcia fight, which drew 1.2 million pay-per-view buys, generated gate revenue of $22.8 million, and the total promotion generated close to $150 million. Davis has hardly been challenged, other than by Isaac "Pitbull" Cruz in December 2021. He has stopped 27 of 29 opponents and handed seven fighters their first defeat. Davis has only faced one challenge in his career, being stripped of the IBF junior lightweight title against Francisco Fonseca in August 2017 and his recent brush with the law.

Ryan Garcia, a light welterweight contender, has expressed his desire for a mega-fight against Naoya Inoue at 140 in Japan, which he believes would be one of the biggest pay-per-view fights of all time. Inoue, a 31-year-old four-division world champion, fights at 122 lbs and would need to move up in weight by 18 lbs for Garcia to achieve his vision. Garcia, popular due to his 11 million Instagram followers, has a habit of fantasizing about fights and failing to stay attentive to what's in front of him. Garcia's career as a boxer could be further degraded if he goes ahead with his plans to challenge Devin Haney for his WBC light welterweight title on DAZN PPV. Most boxing fans believe Ryan has no chance of winning that fight and will be embarrassed by Haney.

Naoya Inoue, a 30-year-old Japanese boxer, has been awarded numerous accolades, including the 2023 Fighter of the Year Award and the prestigious Sugar Ray Robinson Award from the Boxing Writer's Association of America. As the first Japanese boxer to receive this prestigious award, Inoue is the unified ruler at super-bantamweight. With 26 wins, 0 losses, and 0 draws, Inoue has a knock-out ratio of 88%. Despite only fighting two bouts in Japan last year, Inoue is excited to take on 2024 with determination and believes his fighting skills have proven him to be an incredible fighter.

The next fight for Inoue is likely against Luis Nery, a strong and gutsy fighter at 122 pounds. Experts believe that Nery cannot beat Inoue, so there is pressure for him to increase his weight. However, Inoue will not be pushed into anything he feels his body is not capable of doing. Some experts believe that the only way Inoue will ever lose a fight is if he makes the mistake of going up too far in weight or if age catches up with him. For now, Inoue looks untouchable and is the pound-for-pound number 1 in the opinion of many.

A potential fight between Vasiliy Lomachenko and George Kambosos Jr. in Australia is set for April 14, with Perth being the lead state for hosting the event. The vacant IBF lightweight title is expected to be the focus of the fight. Kambosos Jr. expressed excitement about the potential for a sellout and a spectacular fight between the two fighters. Lomachenko, a renowned pound-for-pound boxer, is coming off a loss to undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney. Kambosos, who dropped his undisputed lightweight titles to Haney in 2022 and lost the subsequent rematch, returned to action in July against Maxi Hughes but narrowly earned a majority decision victory. A win for Lomachenko or Kambosos in the spring would likely put them in line for another shot at Haney's titles.

LeBron James has become the first NBA player to surpass 39,000 career points, marking a significant milestone in the league's history. James scored the milestone in the first quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers' 131-99 victory over the Utah Jazz, completing an unbeaten run through Group Play in the NBA In-Season Tournament. He continues to play at an elite level in his 21st season, averaging 26.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 6.5 assists. At his current pace and assuming good health, James should reach 40,000 points later this season. Only seven players in NBA history have scored more than 30,000 points: James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Dirk Nowitzki, and Wilt Chamberlain.

Floyd Mayweather Jr., known as 'The Best Ever', retired from boxing with a 50-0 record but has continued to earn money through exhibition bouts. With wins over Diego Corrales, Saul Álvarez, Manny Pacquiao, and Arturo Gatti, Mayweather is considered one of the most influential fighters ever. His exhibition career has focused on financial stability rather than adding to his legacy. His recent fights against Logan Paul and Tenshin Nasukawa were well-received, but his recent UK fight against Aaron Chalmers and John Gotti III failed to impress. Mayweather announced on Instagram that he would attend the 'unfinished business' with Gotti during Super Bowl weekend, who has been calling for a second fight with Mayweather since their disqualification.

LeBron James, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, has set a record by surpassing 5,000 career turnovers in a game against the Phoenix Suns. This achievement is significant as turnovers are inevitable for players with extensive ball-handling responsibilities. James surpassed Karl Malone's previous record of 4,525 turnovers in 2021. His new benchmark of 5,000 turnovers may be challenging for future players to reach. Top players in the all-time turnover leaderboard, like John Stockton, Jason Kidd, and Magic Johnson, often accumulate such figures. However, active players like Russell Westbrook and James Harden may not have the same opportunity due to their career trajectories.
