Caitlin Clark received a special gift from wife Kyle Juszczyk for the final game of the Iowa season, a gift Kristin once went viral during the NFL playoffs when Taylor Swift wore a red puffer jacket she made with Travis Kelce’s jersey

Caitlin Clark broke the 54-year old NCAA scoring record in her final regular season game

Caitlin Clark has played her final regular season game for Iowa on Sunday against Ohio State and the college basketball legend has received a unique gift to mark the occasion

Caitlin Clark was given the Taylor Swift treatment by fashion designer Kristin Juszczyk ahead of the Iowa sensation’s final regular season game for the program.

Clark broke Pete Maravich’s all-time NCAA scoring record of 3,667 points, requiring just 18 points to set a new benchmark. She made light work of the challenge, going ahead of “Pistol Pete” with a pair of buckets from the charity stripe with 0.3 seconds remaining in the first half.

Sunday’s game was senior day for the No. 6 Hawkeyes, and Clark and her teammates went out in style with a 93-83 victory at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Clark finished the day with 33 points, nine assists, six rebounds, three steals, and was given a hero’s reception by a sold-out crowd.

To mark the occasion and her stellar career, Clark was sent a vest jacket made by Juszczyk, wife of San Francisco 49ers star Kyle Juszczyk. Kristin went viral during the NFL playoffs when Taylor Swift wore a red puffer coat she made using a Travis Kelce jersey during the Kansas City Chiefs’ Wildcard victory over the Miami Dolphins.

The designer also made eye-catching Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions-inspired pieces for US Olympic legend Simone Biles and Hollywood actor Taylor Lautner, catching the attention of the NFL, which has since signed a licensing agreement with Kristin.

Her creation for Clark featured several of her No. 22 jerseys being collaged together on a black vest jacket. Her name and number are on the back in the Hawkeyes’ iconic yellow. Some of her achievements are also emblazoned on the vest, including her status as Iowa’s all-time leader in points, assistants, three-pointers, and field goals made.

“I wish I could add all her awards on there, but you would need 700 jackets to fit all that. Which is incredible,” Juszczyk told Yahoo Sports. “It’s a special piece and I hope she loves it.”

Clark’s attention will turn to the Big Ten tournament, which begins next week, before March Madness begins with Selection Sunday on March 17.

The final chapters of her collegiate story are yet to be written, but Clark announced on Thursday her intent to declare for the 2024 WNBA Draft. The 22-year-old is widely expected to be taken No. 1 overall by the Indiana Fever.

Speaking about beating the record, Clark said to FOX Sports: “When they announced it and then everyone screamed, that’s when I knew. Pretty cool.”

Tyson Fury’s Epic Meltdown: ‘FKING TOSSER!’ – IBF Rankings and Joshua-Usyk Rematch Slammed!

Tyson Fury, the reigning heavyweight champion, recently voiced his frustrations regarding the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and the current state of boxing during an interview in London. Known for his candidness, Fury did not hold back in expressing his displeasure over the IBF’s ranking decisions and what he perceives as bias against him. In a lively exchange with journalist Charlie Parsons, Fury reflected on his preparation for his upcoming fight, emphasizing his dedication to the sport and his ongoing passion for boxing. He mentioned that if others were compensated as handsomely as he is, they too would find inspiration in the sport. However, Fury’s focus quickly turned to the IBF, which he criticized for their questionable rankings, particularly their decision to place him outside the top 15 after he had just paid a substantial fee to compete for their title. Fury’s frustration was palpable as he referred to the IBF’s belt as “a piece of sh*t” and expressed his disdain for the organization, stating he would “piss on it” when he got home. He took aim at Daryl Peoples, a judge he believes is not fit to officiate significant bouts, suggesting that the judging system in boxing is flawed, particularly when it comes to his fights. Despite his strong feelings regarding the IBF, he acknowledged that he had no loss of faith in the judges, who he deemed competent. As he prepares for a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, Fury indicated that he plans to approach the fight with a renewed focus, aiming to avoid complacency. He admitted that in their previous encounter, he may have underestimated Usyk’s abilities, engaging in what he called “clowning around” during the match. Fury’s goal for the upcoming bout is to assert himself with more concentration and less showboating. The conversation also touched upon the future of heavyweight boxing, including the potential for a rematch between Anthony Joshua and Usyk. Fury, who has previously clashed with Joshua, expressed skepticism about Joshua’s chances of winning should a rematch take place. He suggested that if Joshua continues to face defeats, the prospect of their fight, which once promised to be a blockbuster event, may not hold the same allure. Fury concluded the interview by discussing his holiday plans, humorously noting that he would indulge in festive feasting and then work to shed the extra weight come January. The heavyweight champion remains optimistic about his future in boxing, hinting at the possibility of a trilogy fight with Usyk. As Fury gears up for his next challenge, his passion for the sport and his determination to reclaim his status remain evident, ensuring that fans will be eagerly awaiting the December 21st showdown.

In a candid update, Joshua emphasized his status as a legitimate world champion and called for respect for his achievements in the ring. The injury reportedly occurred during the second round of the bout, where Joshua was caught with a powerful shot that caused him to wobble and subsequently trip multiple times. This incident raised concerns about his physical condition, but the specific nature of his injuries remained unclear until now. Sources close to Joshua’s camp have confirmed that he is dealing with a sprained ankle. Although there were hints of other injuries, the ankle has emerged as the primary concern. Observers of the fight noted that Joshua’s balance seemed compromised, which may have been exacerbated by the adrenaline rush that athletes often experience during competition. In discussing the injury, Joshua drew parallels to personal experiences, likening his situation to a severe ankle sprain he suffered in the past. He expressed confidence that the injury, while painful, is not broken and can heal with appropriate care and rehabilitation. This perspective offers hope to fans who are concerned about his ability to return to the ring. The news comes at a crucial time for Joshua, who has been navigating a challenging phase in his boxing career. With the pressure mounting for a comeback, the revelation of this injury adds another layer of complexity to his journey. While the specifics of his recovery timeline are yet to be disclosed, boxing enthusiasts and analysts alike are eager to see how this will impact his future fights. As the boxing world awaits further updates, fans are left with a mixture of concern and anticipation for Joshua’s return to form. The emphasis on respect for his achievements serves as a reminder of his status within the heavyweight division, even as he grapples with the physical toll of the sport. Joshua’s resilience and determination have always been hallmarks of his career, and this latest challenge will undoubtedly test those qualities once again. As he navigates the recovery process, the boxing community remains hopeful for his swift return to the ring, ready to reclaim his position among the elite in the heavyweight class.
