Hayden Panettiere says she's "pretty confident" her baby daddy, Wladimir Klitschko, will destroy Anthony Joshua when they face off later this month ... telling TMZ Sports "we're ready."

Hayden breaks down her role in Klitschko's preparation ... and says she's gonna be right in the front row when it all goes down at Wembley Stadium on April 29.

Shia LaBeouf got kicked out of an L.A. bowling alley Wednesday night after freaking out on a bartender, calling him a "f***ing racist."

Shia was at Pinz in Studio City and according to one eyewitness, he was there for 3 hours pounding back beers.

We're told Shia got rowdy in Jerry's Deli, which is connected to Pinz, and got into a verbal altercation when the staff told him to leave. We've obtained additional video that shows Shia was going off about a bartender refusing to serve him french fries. French fries.

The person he's calling a "racist" was the bartender. It's unclear why he thinks the guy was racist.

Conor McGregor's coach says the UFC star has already begun training for Floyd Mayweather -- because Conor truly believes the superfight will go down sometime THIS YEAR.

John Kavanagh joined "Bill and Boz" on Fox Sports News 500 and revealed while "the people in the suits" work on the contracts, Conor's in the gym training for a boxing match.

"In my mind, it's on. That's the mentality we're in," Kavanagh says. "As far as I'm concerned, I really believe it's gonna happen this year."

Kavanagh says training for boxing is MUCH different than training for MMA -- "It's simpler, less skills involved" -- but Conor's up for the challenge.

Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather will SUCK ... so says Lennox Lewis who says the hypothetical match is more of a spectacle than a real fight.

The former heavyweight champion of the world says he respects both guys in their respective sports -- but putting them both in the same ring is a disaster waiting to happen.

"Cash Me Outside" girl Danielle Bregoli and her mom, Barbara, are officially on police radar for a video that many think shows Barbara beating her kid.

Law enforcement sources in Boynton Beach, FL tell us the department has been made aware of the videos showing Barbara pinning her then 11-year-old daughter down, striking her multiple times and calling her a bitch.

It appears someone filed a complaint against Barbara because when the video hit the Internet, cops said they would not investigate unless they were contacted by a complainant.

It would seem Children Services will be involved soon ... that's protocol when the welfare of a child becomes an issue.

We spoke to Danielle just after the video went viral, and she insisted it was all horseplay.

It's apparent ... cops see things differently.

Justin Trudeau wants a rematch with Matthew Perry after getting his ass kicked in grade school and Matt telling the world about it -- FIGHT!!!

The Canadian PM said "I've been giving it some thought, and you know what, who hasn't wanted to punch Chandler? How about a rematch @MatthewPerry?"

You'll recall ... Matt went on Kimmel earlier this month and told the story of how he once beat up a younger Trudeau for "excelling in a sport."

Now, JT tweeted the challenge on April Fool's day, so chances are he's joking. But it would be awesome!

As long as nothing happened to Trudeau's face, that is.

Maybe Chris Weidman knows something we don't ... but the UFC star says the highly anticipated Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight is "100%" going down.

Weidman appeared on "MMA Report with Mike 'Gunz' Gunzelman" and said his information about the fight is "a fact."

Of course, Dana White has disagreed the last few times we've seen him out -- while he's said he wants the fight to happen, the UFC honcho has said the 2 sides are insanely far apart when it comes to money. But maybe something's changed.

Still, Weidman seems very confident and explained why he truly believes Mayweather could be in for a VERY painful night.

Pandemonium occurred at a Golden Gloves boxing event in L.A. on Wednesday -- when fans stormed the ring at a youth tournament and fought it out ... with one guy catching a haymaker right in the face.

Oh, and a woman hit a man with a steel chair!!!!

It all went down at a Golden Gloves qualifier tournament at a rec center 2 miles from Dodger Stadium -- when fans got pissed after an alleged late punch during a bout between teenagers.

One witness tells us people began to scream at each other -- then they stormed the ring -- then the punches flew.

The witness adds, "Chairs were thrown and people were hit with chairs. Tables were broken. A woman even hit someone with a chair."

Miraculously, no one was seriously injured. Cops were called to the scene but the fight was over by the time police arrived. No one was arrested. Some of the fans are pissed about the lack of security at the event.

But get this ... we're told the brawl eventually ended on its own and the boxing tournament continued.

The action wasn't just on the court at the famous McDonald's All-American high school hoops game Wednesday ... a huge brawl broke out in the concourse and it was all caught on video.

FYI, the McDonald's game is a BIG DEAL in high school sports -- bringing together the top prep players in the country ... almost all of whom are already serious NBA prospects.

But after the final buzzer, roughly a dozen people went to war in the 300 level of the United Center in Chicago -- throwing haymakers and slamming each other to the floor.

Fortunately, in video obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times, you can see multiple security team members rushing in and breaking the whole thing up.

The Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor superfight WILL happen ... as soon as Conor makes it happen, this according to one of Floyd's closest "friends" (who he used to bang).

TMZ Sports talked to Bad Medina, the woman who Floyd began dating right after his relationship with Ms. Jackson (remember her?) ended a couple years ago.

Medina says she and Floyd are more like close friends now, but claims she's heard him talk about the fight with Conor, and insists Floyd's all in, once McGregor actually gets serious.

After months of speculation, Gennady Golovkin's promoter says the Canelo Alvarez fight NEEDS to happen ... saying both sides want it done, and there's just way too much money to be made.

We spoke with GGG's promoter Tom Loeffler, who says he's been in serious talks with Golden Boy Promotions about getting a date set for this September ... as long as Alvarez doesn't lose to Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. in May.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' stars Peter Thomas and Matt Jordan threw everything that wasn't nailed down during a radio interview that looked more like UFC 210.

They dislike each other intensely, so it seems the interview was destined for disaster, and they did not disappoint. Matt threw a water bottle at Peter, then charged him. We're told they locked up, and Peter scored a takedown, because station staff broke it up.

It was so bad, cops were called and took an assault report from Peter against Matt.

Here's the bad news. The interview was not live and it looks like the station isn't going to air it.

Who wants legions of male fans?

Not Rampage Jackson ... the MMA legend says he'd rather be like Justin Bieber because that guy is SWIMMING in chicks!!

Jackson was keeping it all the way real about the perks of fame ... saying it can be annoying to have dudes asking for selfies and autographs all the time -- instead of hot ladies.

Rampage says guys like Chris Brown and Justin Bieber have the RIGHT kind of fame.

The good news for Jackson, he has an outlet for his frustrations ... he's fighting King Mo at Bellator 175 on March 31st.

"Cash Me Outside" girl Danielle Bregoli denies her mother beat her down a couple years ago ... and says it was nothing but friendly play fighting.

We got 13-year-old Danielle Wednesday in Bev Hills, and our camera guy asks her straight-up ... what was happening in a leaked video that appears to show Barbara Ann brutalizing her child?

Danielle goes to bat for her mom, saying the clip doesn't accurately portray the events of that day ... adding there haven't been further incidents since.

Speaking of Barbara ... we can't help but notice she's nowhere to be seen here.

Taraji P. Henson and Nia Long were at each other's throats on the set of "Empire" in such a big way ... producers almost had to shoot the scenes they were in together ... separately.

Multiple production sources tell TMZ, Nia was extremely rude to the people in hair, makeup and wardrobe -- something Nia's people strongly deny -- which pissed Taraji off something fierce.

We're told it got to the point they stopped speaking to each other when they were on set. Our sources say it was next to impossible to film the scenes they did together, and that's why they had actually blocked out how to shoot those scenes separately.

Nia played a recurring role in season 3, which has wrapped. Her character was an ex of Lucious Lyon, who was in the process of getting back with Cookie.

As for whether Nia will be back for season 4, our sources say no way in hell.

Nia's rep tells TMZ, "This story is complete nonsense. Throughout her long, established career, Nia has been nothing but a consummate professional treating all members of productions with respect."

The rep goes on, "This is nothing but another complete fabrication about a series that has been plagued by constant rumors of drama and misconduct."

"Cash Me Outside" girl Danielle Bergoli says video showing her getting a beatdown from her mom is the handiwork of a former bff out for revenge.

The video is graphic, showing Danielle's mom, Barbara Ann, pinning her daughter to the ground, almost like an MMA fight ... calling her a "bitch."

Sources close to Danielle's family tell TMZ ... the video was leaked by a girl who was angry because Danielle's mom kicked her out of their home.

We're told the video -- which first surfaced Tuesday on WorldStarHipHop -- captured an incident that occurred 1 to 2 years ago, which would mean Danielle would have been 11 or 12. We're told neither Danielle nor her mom remember what triggered the fight.
