Social media star Jake Paul defeated legendary boxer Mike Tyson via unanimous decision late Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in one of the most improbable matchups in the sport’s history.

All three judges ruled the fight in favor of Paul, with scores of 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73.

The win improves Paul’s professional record to 11-1 while dropping Tyson to 50-7.

“He’s exactly what I thought, one of the greatest to ever do it,” Paul said after the fight.

Tyson was asked if he was officially done boxing. He said he wasn’t sure.
“I don’t think so,” Tyson said on the broadcast. “Maybe the brother (Logan Paul).”

Paul, 27, a social media star with more than 27 million Instagram followers and nearly 21 million YouTube subscribers, cruised in the bout.

After a first round that saw Tyson aggressive, his age caught up to him. Tyson appeared slow for most of the fight and barely landed any significant punches. His offensive output dropped considerably from the mid-rounds on.

The much younger Paul peppered his opponent with jabs and hooks throughout the bout while taking little damage.

Paul was asked after the fight who he wants next. “Anyone I want,” Paul said. “Everyone is next on the list.”

Paul made his professional debut in 2020. He has wins that include former UFC stars Ben Askren, Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, Nate Diaz and Mike Perry. His lone loss is a split decision last year against boxer Tommy Fury, the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

Tyson, 58, is known as one of the best — and most intimidating — boxers ever. He opened his professional career with 19 straight finishes, 12 of which came in the first round. He later knocked out Trevor Berbick at the age of 20 to become the youngest heavyweight champion ever. Tyson reigned over the division from 1987 to 1990, claiming and retaining the WBA, WBC, and IBF belts en route to a 37-0 start.

Tyson returned to the ring 20 times since that defeat, going 13-5 with two “no contests.” He has not competed since losing to Kevin McBride in 2005. He was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011.

SANTA ANA, Calif. - A Glendale man has been charged with allegedly “executing” a Brea couple and burning their bodies in the desert, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday.

Huangting Gong has been charged with special circumstances murder, kidnapping and more for the killings of Kuanlun Wang and Jing Li in October. He could face a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole or even the death penalty if convicted.

According to the DA’s office, one of Wang’s relatives called police on Oct. 15 after she hadn’t heard from him for several days. The relative also said that Gong, one of Wang’s business associates, owed Wang $80,000.

The relative said that before calling the police, she called Gong. Gong allegedly told her that he was going on a trip with Wang and Li to New York City, where he would allegedly be able to pay off the debt. But, Gong told the relative, the couple never showed up.

According to officials, Gong met Wang in the desert on Oct. 12. That’s where Gong shot Wang in the head, the charges say, before putting Wang’s body in Wang’s own car, then driving back to Wang’s home in Brea.

That’s where the charges claim Gong attacked Li with a hammer, before putting her in her own car, driving out to the desert near San Bernardino, shooting her and setting her body on fire.

After, the DA alleges, Gong went back to the Brea home to retrieve Wang’s body, before taking it to the desert in Riverside County, where he allegedly set the body on fire.

After that, officials said Gong then took the couple’s two cars to different locations, and set them on fire.
“Depravity does not adequately describe the callousness involved to kill a human being and then drive around in the victim’s own car with his body inside in order to carry out the rest of his plan,” said Orange County DA Todd Spitzer.

“No one deserves the fate of being executed and then set on fire in the middle of the desert in a desperate attempt by a killer to cover up his crimes.” It didn’t end there though.

Two days later on Oct 14, Gong returned to the house in Brea to steal nearly $250,000 in watches, clothing, handbags and shoes.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS THINKING OF SU***DE, THE NATIONAL HOTLINE IS 988, WHICH IS AVAILABLE 24/7.

A South Bay father said his teenage son took his own life after being bullied by other students at the high school they attended because he was homeless.

And now, Jose Bautista wants to share his son’s story to raise awareness about his 14-year-old son, Jose Zamora, who started school at Santa Clara High just three months ago.

Jose died by su***de last Tuesday. The grieving, single dad said the teen was the victim of bullying at his high school where he was a freshman.

“I miss hearing him, seeing him. I miss picking him up,” Bautista said.

Dad said he would pick up Jose from football practice at Santa Clara High where he was a member of the junior varsity team.

Bautista said after his son was found dead, he heard from other students that his son’s teammates bullied him for being homeless and having no mother.

“They were spitting on him, hitting him on the back of the helmet,” Bautista said.
Bautista said the other football players also found out his son was living at Bill Wilson Center, a nonprofit shelter that helps the unhoused and troubled youth .

Bautista said his son was being treated there for mental health issues.

Dad and son became homeless after they were evicted from their apartment earlier this year.

He added that he had hoped to find a new home for him and his son in time for the holidays.

Bautista questioned if the school district is holding those suspected of bullying his son accountable.

School Superintendent Gary Waddell released a written statement which said in part, “administrators have already taken initial actions in response. We in no way condone bullying, harassment, or retribution of any kind and take any such allegations seriously. We strive to provide as many facts as possible to the community while preserving our duty to protect the privacy and confidentiality of both students and families.”

Bautista said he wants others to know what happened.

The school district and the Santa Clara Police Department said they are actively investigating Jose’s death.

Korean-American actor Kevin Kreider, best known for his appearance in the reality show “Bling Empire,” said being part of “Hello, Love, Again” was an unforgettable opportunity as it’s a film that’s beloved by many Filipinos.

Kreider will portray the role of Uno in the upcoming film. Details about his character are yet to be revealed, although he shared that he is only aware of Marie’s (Kathryn Bernardo) identity and not Joy’s.

“They explained the character and the movie in itself and I fell in love with [it],” he said of Uno, explaining why taking on the project meant a lot to him. “I watched it and I loved it and I was like, ‘Wow, I can’t wait to be in this.’”

While Kreider has a lot of Filipino friends, “Hello, Love, Again” was his first time working with a Filipino production. “Especially having so many Filipino friends and working with Filipinos before.”

“I just thought it’d be som**hing fun to show off to my Filipino friends in America as well,” he continued. “And to be in such a beloved movie [the Philippines] loves so much. I was so excited that I could play a part in this.”

Kreider added that the chance to work with Bernardo and her leading man Alden Richards was an honor. When asked if his character would stand in the way of Joy and Ethan’s romance, he kept his lips sealed but added, “three’s a crowd.”

“It’s really an honor to work with both Kathryn and Alden because [of] their great talent. I mean, this is the first time I’ve worked with Filipino talents,” he said. “It’s an honor to be part of this movie.”

“They’re amazing actors to work with, they made me feel very welcome, and they did everything to make me feel at ease and welcomed while working with them,” he further added.

Five years after the release of “Hello, Love, Goodbye,” “Hello, Love, Again” continues the love story Joy and Ethan, as they find themselves working in Canada after their breakup. It is set to hit theaters on November 13.
Also joining Bernardo, Richards, and Kreider are Joross Gamboa, Valerie Concepcion, and Jennica Garcia.

The movie is set to release on November 13, 2024.

Costco was forced to recall nearly 80,000 pounds of butter because the label failed to mention that the kitchen staple contains milk — and many social media users are rolling their eyes at the dairy dilemma.

The FDA sent out an initial recall for 79,200 pounds of Kirkland Signature butter due to the undeclared allergen in October. Packages for both the salted and unsalted Kirkland Signature Sweet Cream Butter list cream as an ingredient, but do not include an allergy warning that the butter “Contains Milk.”

The bizarre recall has left many internet users scratching their heads. The most common comment: “It’s butter.”

“80,000 pounds of Costco butter was just recalled, because the label doesn’t say that it contains milk. It’s butter. News articles are telling people how they can return, or safely dispose of, the butter. It’s butter,” one person deadpanned.

One social media user joked, “Can y’all please safely dispose of it at my house? I have a lot of holiday baking to do.”

“Next they’ll recall beef that might contain cow,” another chimed in.

Another person quipped: “If you need to government to tell you that butter is a dairy product then…well, I can’t help you God I loathe the state.”

“To be called ‘Butter’ it must contain milk or milk derivatives. Talk about useless government,” another unamused X user piled on.

While butter, which is made by churning milk, is low in lactose, people who are allergic to milk are likely to have a bad reaction to it. The CDC notes in the recall that milk is one of the main foods that “account for most serious allergic reactions in the United States.”

Peeved social media users slammed the so-called problem and called out Costco for the waste.

“Rather than waste 80,000 pounds of butter why don’t they print stickers that say “Contains Milk” and save perfectly good food? So wasteful,” one person said.

The FDA did not say if there has been any illnesses or adverse reactions from the product. Via

SAN JOSE, Calif. - There were six people aboard when the family boat capsized last weekend in Bodega Bay. 13-year-old Juladi Khammoungkhoune, who goes by Jude, is the only known survivor.

“What was going through my mind is if I was going to make it, see my family ever again,” he says.

The family went fishing often. It was som**hing they loved. This time they were kicking off crab season. But the winds picked up, and so did the waves.

“The boat couldn’t handle it because the waves were pretty massive. They were really massive,” says Jude.

Everyone put on life jackets. Some held onto the boat, as it went nose up.
 Jude’s dad, Prasong, had him sit inside a giant cooler. Prasong held on to it but eventually slipped beneath the waves.

“I was crying and yelling out for my dad, so I could hear him say som**hing again,” Jude says.

For hours, Jude was alone in the ocean.
“I just had to hang on really tightly and let the waves get inside the cooler and push me to the shore. And it was really cold and I was tired, so I just had to sleep on my life jacket and make do, so I could live,” he says.

Eventually, he hiked to a road, a campsite, and people who called 911. His family is relieved he made it home. But grieving for the others who didn’t, among them, Jude’s dad Prasong.

“It’s pretty sad without him,” he says.
For days, rescue crews searched for the boaters. They have recovered the body of one teenager, a cousin, so far. The family is planning a vigil in Bodega Bay to grieve together.

“We will definitely be there to say our goodbye and just maybe find some closure for us,” says Shanice Khammoungkhoune, Prasong’s sister.

The vigil will be November 16 at 6 p.m. at West Side Regional Park in Bodega Bay. The family also has a GoFundMe page set up to help Prasong’s wife and three young children.

Olympic shooter Kim Ye-ji became Tesla Korea’s brand ambassador after receiving praise from Elon Musk, CEO of the Texas-based carmaker.

“The relationship between Kim Ye-ji and Tesla developed after Elon Musk mentioned her,” the Olympic star’s agency, Plfil, said Friday. The company said that Kim is Tesla Korea’s first brand ambassador.

“I’m very excited to work with Tesla, who have recognized me,” Kim said in a press release. “I hope to convey a positive message together with Tesla.”

Clips of Kim went viral after she won silver in the women’s 10-meter air pistol, particularly for her unique shooting glasses and casual stance during her performance.

Musk replied to a tweet from Kim that also gained traction, commenting that the shooter “should be cast in an action movie.”

The video of Kim competing at the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup in May in Baku, Azerbaijan, has garnered 53.5 million views and 356,000 likes as of Friday, while Musk’s tweet has received 857,000

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Prop 36 was perhaps the most high-profile measure on the California ballot, calling for harsher penalties for theft and drug crimes.

The measure passed overwhelmingly, with more than 70 percent in favor.

Many voters in San Francisco explained what prompted them to vote for its passage.

“Existing at the mercy of criminals was very disappointing, very disheartening and I guess we had to hit rock bottom before finally, people woke up and realized, it’s time to take a different turn,” said Arkady Itkin.

Megan Loi said she was “not surprised” given her experience as a young woman, with concerns about safety.

Prop 36 would bring back harsher penalties, for theft and certain drug crimes. Issues that have plagued the Bay Area and the state in recent years.

Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown summed up community sentiment.

“They were really looking for relief from so many people allegedly committing, redefined, petty crimes and being able to get away with it.”

Prop 36’s passage reverses Prop 47, which passed in 2014, reducing some felonies to misdemeanors. Reclassification meant crimes such as repeat shoplifting merchandise under $950 carried a much lighter sentence.

“On a felony, you can get up to a year in the county jail or go to prison on a misdemeanor... misdemeanors aren’t going to jail, or there’s very minimal time... a weekend sometimes,” said San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.

Drug crimes under Prop 36, such as fentanyl trafficking, would become felonies.

“It was not in the category of co***ne, m**h, or P*P. It was like a possession of a non-prescription drug.”

Opponents of the measure, which includes Governor Gavin Newsom say Prop 36 would further crowd the jail system and disproportionately affect communities of color.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will defeat his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, and return to the White House for another four years, NBC News projects.

After losing his reelection bid to President Joe Biden in 2020, Trump, the 45th president, will now become the 47th.

Trump’s victory marks a series of historic firsts. At 78, he is the oldest person ever to win a U.S. presidential election. He will be the first president in 132 years — since Grover Cleveland — to serve two nonconsecutive terms in office. And he emerged victorious from what is likely the most expensive presidential race in history.

He is also the first president, current or former, ever to be convicted of crimes. He is the first twice-impeached president ever to win back the White House. He is the first president ever to take office while fending off criminal charges in multiple active federal and state cases.

Trump’s win denies Harris, the vice president, what would have been her own historic milestone: becoming the first woman president of the United States.

It also represents a staggering political achievement for Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, who won his first election just two years earlier.

Just 40 years old, Vance, a former Trump critic turned loyalist and top advocate for the president-elect’s right-wing populist movement, is now first in the presidential line of succession.

UPDATE: Former President Donald Trump maintains a lead as the polls close across the country. As of 9:06PM PST., he is projected at 230 electoral votes to 209 for Kamala Harris. Trump also carries leads in multiple swing states, though those remain too early to call.

Representative Andy Kim was elected on Tuesday to the U.S. Senate by a decisive margin, according to The Associated Press, after a tumultuous campaign that grew out of a corruption scandal that engulfed New Jersey’s former senator, Robert Menendez, a once-powerful Democrat.

Mr. Kim’s campaign was defined by his ability to vanquish New Jersey’s first lady, Tammy Murphy, and topple a longstanding source of electoral power for the state’s Democratic and Republican political machines.

A son of immigrants, Mr. Kim, 42, a Democrat, will become the first Korean American in the Senate and its third-youngest member when he takes the oath of office.

Mr. Kim is expected to be sworn in later this month, in an arrangement laid out by the governor when Mr. Menendez resigned after being convicted of peddling his political influence for bribes of gold bars, $480,000 in cash and a Mercedes-Benz convertible.

Mr. Kim was leading his Republican opponent, Curtis Bashaw, by about 10 pointstwo hours after polls closed.
After a turbulent Democratic primary, the matchup between Mr. Kim and Mr. Bashaw was notable for its civility.

When a podcaster took a jab at Mr. Kim’s Korean heritage, Mr. Bashaw quickly denounced the comments and defended his opponent as a “good man and a patriotic American who has dedicated much of his life to public service.” When Mr. Bashaw, 64, became lightheaded during a debate, Mr. Kim was the first person by his side, steadying a lectern that Mr. Bashaw was gripping to stop him from falling.

Democrats outnumber Republicans in New Jersey by more than 900,000 voters, and the state has not elected a Republican senator in 52 years. Mr. Kim raised three times as much in campaign contributions, and Mr. Bashaw, a hotel developer from South Jersey who ran as a political outsider, consistently trailed in polls, leaving few people in doubt of Tuesday’s result.

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — The man who allegedly stabbed a 54-year-old woman in an unprovoked attack on a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) train on Saturday has been identified, according to BART police. The suspect was identified as 34-year-old Jovany Portades.

Portades was arrested around 2 p.m. on Sunday at the Fruitvale station, BART announced in a news release. He was located by a station agent who contacted BART police. Portades was arrested without incident.

Portades and the victim were in an Antioch-bound train Saturday morning as it approached San Francisco’s 24th Street/Mission Station when the incident occurred. The victim was taken to the hospital with “serious injuries,” BART said. Her condition is unknown at this time.

The 24th Street/Mission Station was closed from about 8:40 a.m. to 9:25 a.m. on Saturday as authorities collected evidence from the stabbing. Anyone with information is asked to call the BART Police Investigations anonymous tip line at (510) 464-7011.

The FDA’s recent Import Alert 99-45, issued in late October 2024, restricts entry of various popular Filipino sauces and condiments—including Jufran Banana Ketchup, Mang Tomas lechon sauce, and bagoong—to the U.S. due to concerns over certain “unsafe food additives” like Sodium Benzoate, TBHQ, and potassium iodate. These preservatives, commonly used in processed foods, have been flagged by the FDA as potentially harmful, prompting closer inspection of imported items containing them. While the alert does not ban these products outright, it mandates a “Detention Without Physical Examination,” meaning they will be held at the U.S. border for further review unless manufacturers reformulate them to meet FDA safety standards. In response, NutriAsia, the producer of Jufran and Mang Tomas sauces, has already reformulated some products to comply with U.S. regulations. However, due to global shipping delays, the availability of these items in U.S. stores has been impacted, leading to scarcity and, in some cases, high resale prices. What are some other replacements that you would use now that these condimenrs aren’t as available? . . . 🎥: @eatfilamanila/ TT: filamanila
