“Israel is finally resting in peace. May God give strength and support to his wife Laura, their children, family, and friends during these difficult times,” Sulaiman wrote on social media. “Thank you, champion, for leaving such a special mark. You will always be ‘El Magnifico.’”

Vázquez, 46, affectionately known as “El Magnifico,” succumbed to sarcoma less than a month after publicly revealing his cancer diagnosis.

Vázquez turned professional in 1995, building a career defined by his exceptional hand speed, and explosive punching power.

His crowning achievement was his rivalry with fellow Mexican boxer Rafael Márquez, which spanned four unforgettable fights.

The pair first clashed in 2007, producing two bouts hailed as Fight of the Year.

Their third fight, in 2008, cemented Vázquez’s legacy as one of boxing’s greats. However, his triumph came at a price; shortly afterward, he was diagnosed with a detached retina, sidelining him for over a year.

In 2010, Márquez claimed victory in their fourth and final meeting via knockout. It was Vázquez’s last professional fight. Despite the outcome, their first three battles remain celebrated as one of the sport’s most thrilling trilogies.

The boxing world has been united in grief, with tributes flooding in from fans, fellow fighters, and trainers. Legendary coach Freddie Roach, who worked with Vázquez during his career, paid homage to the late champion.

“Forever a world champion and legend in boxing,” Roach said in an Instagram post. “One of the best boxers I ever had the privilege of working with. Israel, may you rest in peace now. Condolences to the Vázquez family and to all those who called Israel their friend.”

Australian boxer Billy Dib also expressed his sorrow: “He was not only a champion but also a true warrior in and out of the ring. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and all who admired him. May he rest in peace.”

Our thoughts are with Vázquez’s loved ones during this difficult time.

A woman who currently holds the record for sleeping with 919 men in one day was so bored during the event that she ended up ordering fast food to keep herself entertained.

Now, with the likes of Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips becoming hot talking points online for wanting to break the records for sleeping with the most men in one day, it’s no wonder why people are wondering who created these specific “achievements” in the first place.

Cue Lisa Sparks.

Sparks is an adult performer who reportedly set the initial record by sleeping with 919 men in 2004 during Eroticon, which hosted the Third Annual World G*ngbang Championship.

Lisa won the competition in Warsaw, Poland, by having intercourse with these men over a period of 12 hours.

What were the rules surrounding the event?

Well, the men were only allowed 45 seconds with the actress before she had to move on to the next in order to beat the previous record which was set by Marianna Rokita who got intimate with 759 men during the 2003 Annual World G*ngbang Championship.

Prior to that, another adult actress, Klaudia Figura, held the record after sleeping with 646 men in one day.

Rokita also competed in the tournament against Sparks but stood no chance. In the end, Sparks won the competition after sleeping with 21 more men than the person who came in second place.

Speaking of her win years after she achieved it, the adult actress expressed regret for participating in the record-breaking event, stating that she only did it for the money.

“To be completely transparent with you all; this event is the one thing I regret doing in the 23+ years in the p*rn industry to this day. This was also the ONLY job I agreed to perform strictly for the money,” she wrote on her website, as per iHarare News.

She went on the clarify that despite her loving collaborating with multiple men at once during performances, this is something she wholeheartedly regrets.

“Don’t get me wrong, I love g*ngbangs and have done most of them with you all, my fans. I love participating in g*ngbang events, I believe you can tell in my movies that I enjoy myself,” she continued.

“However, this event was never anything I ever planned on, and the entire event was a complete s**t-show. I wish this topic would die, and we all move on to something relevant,” she added.

Things also got worse when the Polish government got involved.

“The Polish government found out about the event and threatened arrest on-site for anyone involved,” she said of the event in 2004. “So the event organizers moved the event to an undisclosed warehouse where approximately 150+ different guys showed up.

“…I was hoping the event would be something like the Houston 500, [but] it was not,” she explained. “I was disappointed but was excited to fly home and not spend any time in a foreign jail. This event also appeared to get my Wikipedia page removed and to this day I am not sure why.”

Sparks also noted that she got so bored during the entire fiasco that she ordered a McDonalds because – in her own words – “a fat girl gotta eat.”

“I was so bored during the event that I ordered McDonald’s… Yes, Poland has McDonald’s and a KFC!”

I mean, you gotta do what you gotta do.

The man who bought one of the world’s most unique pieces of art for millions of dollars has revealed what he has done with the fruit.

Branded as one of the boldest moves in modern art, Maurizio Cattelan’s ‘Comedian’ sold for a staggering $6.24 million at a Sotheby’s auction in New York City last week.

ADVERT – CONTINUE READING BELOW

This simple yet interesting piece initially debuted at Art Basel Miami Beach in December 2019 and quickly became one of the world’s most viral pieces of work.

If you’ve never seen it before, the artwork consists of a banana taped to a wall with a strip of silver duct tape, placed precisely 160 centimeters from the floor and that’s all it took for it to become “the most talked-about artwork of the century.”

Now the piece belongs to crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun, who purchased it at the Sotheby’s auction.

However, within a week of claiming it as his own, he’s well and truly decided what he wanted to do with it – and let’s just say, a lot of people won’t be happy about this one.

In a room filled with media personnel at a hotel in Hong Kong, the 34-year-old TRON cryptocurrency founder praised Cattelan, describing the banana as “iconic.”

However, moments later, he decided to pull the banana from the wall and eat it.

“It’s much better than other bananas,” Sun said. “It’s really quite good.”

Taking to X, the businessman reposted a clip of him committing the act alongside a caption that read: “Many friends have asked me about the taste of the banana. To be honest, for a banana with such a back story, the taste is naturally different from an ordinary one.

“I could discern a hint of what Big Mike bananas from 100 years ago might have tasted like,” he added.

Have a look below:

According to the Independent, the banana was sold to Cattelan for 35 cents from a vendor outside the Sotheby’s auction house, which naturally left the vendor, Shah Alam, in shock when he heard about the news.

Sun wanted to give back to the vendor stating that he would buy 100,000 more bananas from Alam, or at least $25,000 worth of produce, as per a series of tweets posted to X on November 28.

“As the owner of a fruit stand in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Mr. Shah Alam inadvertently became a crucial contributor to a groundbreaking piece of art. This banana, far from being an ordinary piece of fruit, has taken on profound cultural and artistic significance,” he wrote on the social media platform.

“To thank Mr. Shah Alam, I’ve decided to buy 100,000 bananas from his stand in New York’s Upper East Side. These bananas will be distributed free worldwide through his stand. Show a valid ID to claim one banana, while supplies last,” Sun continued.

“This is not just a unique event but also a celebration of the beautiful connection between everyday life and art. I hope this gesture will help share the meaning of this special art story with more people,” he added.

We love a story with a happy ending!

The multi-faceted entertainer and TV host – and father of 12 – recently opened up about his mental health during a candid discussion on his Counsel Culture podcast.

Cannon, 44, shared that doctors have diagnosed him with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).

Per the Mayo Clinic, NPD is “a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance. They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them. People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others.”

ADVERT – CONTINUE READING BELOW

Although sufferers may exude “extreme confidence” to others, they may struggle deeply with their own “self-worth and are easily upset by the slightest criticism”.

The Mayo Clinic adds that the condition can cause problems in many areas of a sufferer’s life, “such as relationships, work, school, or financial matters.”

In response to the diagnosis, Cannon has told PEOPLE that he is committed to personal growth and change.

“I still don’t understand it all the way, but I kind of always wanted to get tested for it. I did a bunch of tests,” Cannon explained during a Thanksgiving charity event.

“I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD,” the Masked Singer host continued. “Even as a kid it was dyslexia, but just knowing that I’m just a neurodivergent individual, I kind of always knew.”

Explaining how he is looking to “embrace” the news, Cannon added: “I feel like there’s so many labels out there, but it’s like, to be able to embrace it and say, ‘Look, I’m healing. I need help. Show me.’

“I just embrace mental health and therapy in such a strong way. To be able to say I’m an example for others, but also be healing during the self-process works too.”
