The Chicago Sky forward flew to the United Arab Emirates for the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix, where she met with different celebrities such as comedian Terry Crews and actress Taraji P. Henson. She also witnessed F1 star Lewis Hamilton race for the Mercedes, before his highly anticipated debut with Ferrari next year.

Reese has been all over the world since the WNBA season, where she broke numerous rookie records on her way to finishing as runner-up for the Rookie of the Year award behind Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark.

Angel Reese finished her rookie year averaging a double-double of 13.6 points, and 13.1 rebounds. However, it came to an early end, as she had to undergo a season-ending surgery for her injured wrist, ending the season with just 34 games under her belt.

Angel Reese will return to basketball action in the new Unrivaled tournament

Angel Reese will be one of the stars in the inaugural season of the Unrivaled Tournament. The new league will showcase 30 WNBA players in a three-on-three basketball format.

Reese signed up for the Rose BC team, with her teammates being fellow WNBA stars Kahleah Copper, Chelsea Gray, Lexie Hull, Brittney Sykes and Azurá Stevens.

Reese explained why she chose to spend a chunk of her offseason in the new three-on-three basketball league in an interview with TheWAEShow.

“I don’t have to go overseas.,” Angel Reese said. “I’m making six figures, I’m living in Miami during my off-season. I’m playing 34 of some of the best WNBA players, being able to get better. Some of the best coaches, we got T-Spoon, we got Phil, we’ve got a lot of great coaches there.

“I’m excited to like really dial in and get better. Obviously, the games are going to be cool and fun, but I just want to learn from the vets and stuff.”

The Unrivaled League was co-founded by WNBA players Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart. The league guaranteed a $250,000 payout for the tournament.

The games will happen in Miami, Florida, and will go on for eight weeks, just in time for the players to get ready for training camp for the 2025 WNBA season.

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.
