Jan 8, 2026 #MannyPacquiao #BoxingHistory #FloydMayweatherJr
There were many outstanding boxers who competed during the 2000s. Leading the pack were two all time great legends Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Then there was long reigning heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. We also had a trio of Mexican legends: Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, and Juan Manuel Marquez. On top of all that, Bernard Hopkins became the Godfather of the modern 4-belt era when he became the first 4-belt undisputed world champion in modern boxing. But who were the Top 10 pound for pound boxers during the 2000s?

JOE LOUIS VS. BUDDY BAER CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING MATCH JANUARY 9, 1942 MADISON SQUARE GARDEN GG41415​

Jan 9, 2026
The short film chronicles Joe Louis’s January 9, 1942 charity fight against Buddy Baer, highlighting Louis’s patriotism for donating his entire purse to the war effort. This was the second Joe Louis vs. Buddy Baer fight, at Madison Square Garden. It was a charity event for the Navy Relief Fund, and Louis won by first-round knockout in 2 minutes and 56 seconds. Louis knocked Baer down three times before the final count. The film shows Louis' calm confidence before the match, Wendell Willkie’s tribute to both fighters for their example of national unity, and the fight itself—an explosive first-round knockout that reinforces Louis’s dominance and character. The closing moments underscore Louis’s humility, sportsmanship, and dedication to his country.

The UK takes on the USA in one of the fastest growing sports in the military​

Premiered 70 minutes ago #Powerlifting #MilitarySport #StrengthTraining
Watch Great Britain’s military athletes hit the weights, gearing up for a super showdown with their rivals from the United States.
Why is powerlifting becoming so popular?
Well Hannah King dives into the world of military powerlifting to find out - meeting athletes who train while deployed, compete internationally, and challenge stereotypes about strength, gender, and body image. From submariners with no room to lift, to sailors battling rough seas, this is a sport built on discipline, resilience, and community.
For the Love of Lifting looks at one of the fastest-growing sports in the British military (and beyond), powerlifting is often misunderstood. Strip it back, though, and it’s just three simple movements: the squat, the bench press, and the deadlift – standing up, pushing something up, and picking something up. In many ways, it’s training for life.
Forget the scales. Focus on the bar.

Muscles - More than power and pumping iron | DW Documentary​


Jan 30, 2026 #documentary #dwdocumentary #dwdocs
What impact does good muscle tone have on our health? Studies show that muscle training can slow down the ageing process, prevent metabolic disorders and even inhibit cancer cells.
The muscular system is the largest system in our body, accounting for around 30 to 40 percent of our body weight. Healthy and well-trained muscles give us the strength we need for an active life.
But muscles can do much more than just set our bodies in motion: regular muscle training has a positive impact on our overall health. This is because muscles work in a similar way to an endocrine organ: when activated, muscles release messenger substances called myokines, which directly influence our central organs such as the brain, liver, heart and intestines. If we lose muscle mass, these organs can become diseased, or metabolic disorders like diabetes can develop. Fit muscles, on the other hand, can reduce the risk of brain diseases like dementia or Alzheimer's, and decelerate the ageing process.
Wilhelm Bloch from the German Sport University Cologne sees the muscles as akin to the body's own pharmacy. He's spent decades researching myokines, which are released by active muscles. His current project shows that myokines influence the growth, division and movement of cancer cells.
Alice Kindich suffers from metastatic breast cancer. She took part in a companion study by Bloch and spent nine months lifting weights in the gym. Since then, her quality of life has significantly improved.
Ingo Froböse, also from the German Sport University Cologne, says it's never too late to start strength training. On the contrary: muscle training is particularly important in old age to prevent sarcopenia, which is the degenerative age-related breakdown of skeletal muscle.
Although 33-year-old Leonie Poppe is still young, she wants to commit to her strength training journey. The documentary tracks her progress over six weeks and shows the changes she undergoes both physically and mentally.
Professional long jumper Maryse Luzolo is aiming to qualify for the Olympic Games. She knows how hard it is to get back into strength training after a long break. An accident a few years ago sidelined her for an extended period. After that, she had to rebuild her muscles from scratch in order to participate in competitive sports.
