Jake Paul is just two weeks away from stepping back into the ring, but once again, there’s not exactly a typical opponent waiting on the other side. On November 14, Paul is set to face Gervonta “Tank” Davis in Miami. The matchup has caught plenty of attention because Davis normally fights seven weight classes below Paul, who competes as a cruiserweight.
Although this fight is not officially sanctioned, Paul emphasized in a recent interview with Fox News Digital that “it’s the same deal. Everyone remembers that there’s a winner.”
Paul has faced criticism before for his choice of opponents, such as Mike Tyson—who is 31 years older than him—and Anderson Silva, a former UFC star nearly 22 years his senior. Additionally, some of his previous boxing opponents like Andre August and Ryan Bourland have not been widely recognized names. Now, similar skepticism has arisen regarding Davis due to the weight-class disparity.
However, Paul, who has repeatedly expressed his ambitions to become a world champion and is eligible for a WBA title fight, argued that this upcoming matchup further validates his legitimacy as a boxer.
“I think people have said, ‘Fight someone your age, fight one of the best in the world.’ This is answering both of those things in one,” he said. “And being the underdog with half the internet thinking I’m going to get killed and blah, blah, blah, and proving to people that I can box better than someone who’s been doing it their whole life. I think people will be shocked after fight night as to my skills and how I strategically came in with a game plan and I executed it.”
Paul explained that his game plan for this fight is very different from those in the past. “A lot of it’s focusing on speed, but also just high-level thinking in the sport, ring IQ, not making any mistakes. Not getting countered, not getting lazy at any moment, alertness, all of these things. The list goes on,” he said. “But I have to be the sharpest I’ve ever been for 39 minutes straight, and that’s not easy to do against someone who’s one of the pound-for-pound best.”
The unsanctioned nature of the fight has led to accusations—similar to those surrounding many of Paul’s previous bouts—that the fights are staged, fixed, or rigged in some way. Such claims escalated to the point where Paul and his business partner, Nakisa Bidarian, threatened legal action, notably against commentator Piers Morgan.
Morgan later “clarified” his comments after Paul and Bidarian announced potential lawsuits, and since then, Paul has noticed a quiet from critics.
“People haven’t been talking. And rightfully so, right?” Paul said. “Like, stop lying on my name. People can say a lot of things, but when they’re blatant lies that actually defame my brand—people saying fights are rigged, steroids, whatever it is—that’s where it goes too far.”
He continued, “So, you know, hate on the fights, don’t watch the fights, whatever, but as soon as people start lying, they’re going to get sued.”
After the fight, Paul plans to focus on his fiancée, Jutta Leerdam, who will be competing for her first Olympic gold medal in speedskating. Leerdam, 26, won a silver medal in the women’s 1,000 meters at the 2022 Beijing Olympics. The couple got engaged earlier this year, but their intense training schedules have complicated wedding planning.
Paul has even found that his own training commitments have impacted his ability to support Leerdam fully during this important time.

At least six people lost their lives in separate rain-related incidents after heavy rains battered various parts of Telangana on October 29. The downpour was triggered by the impact of Cyclone Montha, officials from the police and district authorities reported on Friday.
In Siddipet district, a tragic incident occurred when a husband and wife were swept away while attempting to cross an overflowing stream on a two-wheeler. Their bodies were recovered later that day, according to police sources.
In another unfortunate event, a man riding a bike in Suryapet district died when a roadside tree uprooted and fell on him. Additionally, an elderly woman lost her life due to a wall collapse in Mahabubabad district.
Officials also reported the death of a bedridden man in his mid-60s when floodwaters entered his house in Warangal.
Several other incidents have been reported where people went missing after being swept away by floodwaters.
The heavy rains on October 29 caused significant waterlogging on roads and inundation of low-lying areas across multiple locations, including Warangal, Hanamakonda, Mahabubabad, Karimnagar, Khammam, and Bhadradri Kothagudem. Authorities continue to monitor the situation as rescue and relief operations are underway.

President Donald Trump’s frequent attacks on Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) reflect his growing fear of the Democratic lawmaker—at least according to Crockett herself. Her clashes with right-wing media and lawmakers have helped propel her onto the national stage.
“I process [attacks from Trump and right-wing media] as they believe that I’m a threat,” Crockett told Politico. “Listen, you’re not talking about anybody who’s not relevant. That’s just the reality. No one is wasting capital on anyone that is not relevant.”
While Trump is known for frequently lashing out at Democratic lawmakers, Crockett has been among the most frequent targets of his attacks. He’s called her a “lowlife,” a “very low-IQ person,” and even compared her unfavorably to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), saying Crockett is “only slightly dumber.”
For Crockett, however, Trump’s attacks serve as an admission that he views her as a growing threat—one he tries to “thwart before they rise too much.”
“I think that personally they are threatened. When you look at AOC, AOC is the highest-fundraising member in the U.S. House, period. Above Democrats, Republicans, that is number one,” Crockett explained. “When you look at the crowds that she garners when she goes out, that’s a scary thing for him, right? And a lot of the people that I believe that he wants to appeal to, AOC is one of the few people that can actually break through. I would argue that as much as I go against him, I would imagine that I get some of those folk too.”
Crockett hasn’t held back in returning jabs at Trump. After being called a “low IQ person,” she responded by noting, “You sure [do] have my name in your mouth a lot,” adding that his attacks are proof he is “terrified of smart, bold Black women telling the truth and holding you accountable.”

In nominating Maine native Joshua Dunlap for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, Sen. Susan Collins has made an outstanding choice. As Josh’s former law partner, I know first-hand of his superb qualifications: his intelligence, thoughtfulness, humility, and love of the law and the Constitution are exceptional. He will work vigorously for the impartial dispensation of equal justice under the rule of law.
In better times, Josh would receive near-unanimous confirmation. In today’s hyper-partisan climate, however, judicial appointments are sadly exploited for more political skirmishing.
Thankfully, we don’t do it that way in Maine. As former Gov. Angus King knows first-hand, qualified judicial nominees routinely receive bipartisan support, and Maine’s judiciary is the envy of many states where partisanship infects judicial selections.
Sen. King should join Sen. Collins in supporting Josh’s nomination. Washington sorely needs another lesson in why Maine is “the way life should be.”

**Understanding the Pity System in Duet Night Abyss**
Duet Night Abyss famously dropped the traditional gacha system for characters and weapons, instead offering a system that allows players to farm for whatever they want. However, there *is* still a gacha system in the game—it’s tied exclusively to cosmetics. Many of the fancy skins and unique visual items are hidden behind this cosmetic gacha, so it’s important to understand how the pity system works before you dive in.
### How the Pity System Works
If you want to snag some of the skins in Duet Night Abyss, you’ll need to engage with the cosmetic gacha. The pity system ensures the following:
– **Every 10 pulls (or “Weaves”) guarantees a purple rarity cosmetic item.**
– **Every 90 pulls guarantees 25 Iridescent Prisms**, a currency used to purchase skins.
The rarity tiers in the cosmetic gacha are **Green**, **Purple**, and **Gold**. Iridescent Prisms are associated with the Gold tier. Purple-tier items typically include cosmetic accessories such as glasses, hats, masks, or other character adornments, but not full outfits.
When you do pulls, each set of 10 Weaves guarantees at least one purple-tier cosmetic. If you reach 90 pulls without hitting the Gold tier, you receive 25 Iridescent Prisms automatically. Should you pull a Gold-tier item before reaching 90 pulls, the pity counter resets back to zero.
### Finding and Using Cosmetic Banners
Cosmetic banners can be found in the **Shop** under the **Recommended** tab. Pulls on these banners are referred to as **Weaves** in-game.
There are two types of hourglasses required for pulls:
– **Prismatic Hourglass**: Used for Event Banners.
– **Pristine Hourglass**: Used for Standard Banners.
Make sure to check the **Details** tab on each banner (located near the center bottom of the screen) to review the exact drop rates for the different items.
### Important Notes on the Pity System
– The pity system is unique to each banner. Progress on one banner does *not* carry over to others.
– Some skins are also available for direct purchase in the shop.
– To quickly see if characters have skins available, visit their **Cosmetic** section in the **Armory**. There, you’ll find quick links to the shop page for easy access.

By understanding and utilizing the pity system effectively, you can maximize your chances of obtaining your favorite cosmetics in Duet Night Abyss without frustration. Happy weaving!

There are hundreds of materials to find in **ARC Raiders**, and one of the most important, especially early on, is **ARC Alloy**. Not only is it required for a quest, but a lot of the equipment you can craft also requires it. Here’s how you get ARC Alloy.
### How to Get ARC Alloy in ARC Raiders
You can obtain ARC Alloy through several methods:
– **Destroying and searching destroyed ARC enemies**
– **Opening ARC loot containers found in the world**
– **Recycling ARC materials you find**
Of these three, finding the **ARC Courier** and **ARC Probe** loot containers is the easiest, but also risky. Breaching these containers is a long and noisy process, attracting unwanted attention. You’ll know you’re on the right track if you see a plume of smoke rising in the distance.
### ARC Loot Containers
– **ARC Couriers** are squat, rectangular white containers that you can breach from the side.
– **ARC Probes** are oblong cylinders that you breach at one end.
Both containers periodically fly down from the sky during a match, offering opportunities to collect valuable materials—including ARC Alloy.
### Risks of Looting ARC Enemies
Looting the ARC enemies you destroy can be even more dangerous. Engaging in combat generates a lot of noise, which can attract other players and enemies alike. If you prefer a safer approach, your best bet is to loot every container you come across, especially in **Electronics loot locations**.
### Recycling ARC Materials for Alloy
A scarce few items can be recycled into the ARC Alloy you need. Here’s a shortlist of items that recycle into ARC Alloy:
– ARC Circuitry
– ARC Motion Core
– Hornet Driver
– Fireball Burner
– Spotter Relay
– Surveyor Vault
– Wasp Driver
### Final Tips
Remember, sometimes fighting ARC enemies is unavoidable. Once they lock onto you, it can be a hassle to shake them off. While fighting may attract other players, the rewards you gain from defeating ARC enemies can be well worth the risk.
By understanding where and how to find ARC Alloy, you’ll be better equipped to progress through ARC Raiders and craft essential equipment early in your journey. Happy raiding!
