Olympic boxer Omari Jones is taking the underdog in the Terence Crawford vs. Canelo Alvarez matchup ... telling TMZ Sports he's predicting Bud will pull off the upset.

Crawford (41-0) and Alvarez (63-2) will throw hands on September 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas ... and even though Terence is moving up several weight divisions to meet Canelo at 168 pounds, Jones still likes the boxing star's chances.

"It looks like he put it on the right way," Jones said of Crawford's weight gain. "The nutrition, the training -- Crawford, he trains hard."

6:41 AM PT -- United States Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro tells TMZ ... “It’s time we start taking crime more seriously irrespective of the age of the criminal. No longer can we coddle criminals while innocent victims are being assaulted and maimed as young violent criminals avoid consequences. It’s time for this to end.”

Donald Trump is furious about what he sees as out-of-control violence in Washington, D.C. -- and he's pointing to a specific case that's really hitting home for him!

47 is super pissed that former DOGE staffer Edward "Big Balls" Coristine was savagely beaten by a bunch of juveniles in D.C. over the weekend and now he's threatening to federalize the nation's capital. Elon Musk was the head of DOGE -- the Department of Government Efficiency -- before exiting the administration after having a falling out with Trump.

In a Truth Social post Tuesday, Trump went off on local officials, saying teen gang members had taken over D.C. and are "randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens."

He added that if D.C. didn't get its act together he would be forced to take federal control of the city to put criminals on notice because "they’re not going to get away with it anymore." Trump also cited the assault of "Big Balls" and posted a bloody photo of Coristine after the beatdown.

According to a police report obtained by TMZ, "Big Balls" was with his significant other, Emily Bryant, near his vehicle in D.C. in the early morning hours Sunday. Police say a group of 10 juveniles confronted them and said something about stealing their car.

Cops say "Big Balls" shoved Bryant inside the vehicle and turned toward the assailants, who began brutally assaulting him. Officers on patrol witnessed the assault and arrested 2 of the suspects, while police say the other attackers ran away with one stolen item -- an iPhone worth $1,000.

The cops didn't have a hard time solving the murder of a grandma in Alabama ... 'cause her granddaughter confessed to it all on video!

Adam22 is being sued by a man who claims he was violently assaulted and battered at the office where Adam films his popular "No Jumper" podcast.

In new legal docs obtained by TMZ, a man named Jeremel Reed says he was concussed in an alleged December 2024 incident at "No Jumper" Burbank, CA headquarters ... and he says the people who whooped his ass were agents, employees, guests, and/or affiliates of Adam's company.

Reed also says the alleged beatdown resulted in a broken nose and bruised eyes ... plus pain and suffering ... and he says he racked up a bunch of medical expenses.

Monday night was a real pain in the boob for Nikki Bella ... 'cause she says one of her breast implants got stuck in her ribs after a recent in-ring showdown!!

Nikki opened up on the boob mishap in a convo with her sister on their "The Nikki & Brie Show" ... saying it happened on "Monday Night RAW" this past week during her 8-woman tag team match.

"Piper's elbow drop? Yeah, put the implants right into the ribs," she said. "It's been hard to laugh and cough, but it's okay, we're gonna get it fixed one day."

Cardi B and Rah Ali have two different accounts of how their recent run-in went down at the Cannes airport -- but one thing is agreed upon is that there definitely was a clash!!!

The bombshell news came courtesy of Rah spilling the beans to guest host Ray Daniels on her "Onsited" podcast Thursday -- much to Cardi's chagrin, who called Rah a clout-chaser for making their latest encounter known in the first place.

Both ex-"Love & Hip Hop: New York" stars agree that an argument immediately broke out at the French airport ... Rah maintains she remained calm as Cardi "embarrassed Black people" while telling her she was genuinely surprised at Cardi's behavior as a mother-of-three.

Travis Kelce helped a pair of his teammates settle their bad blood on Tuesday ... by getting in the middle of their wild tiff and breaking it up.

Footage captured by a reporter on the scene shows the guys were really going at it ... until Kelce stepped in.

A passenger on an airplane leaving London was forced to the ground after he stood in the middle of the cabin and started shouting threats ... and, it all went down on video.

EasyJet Flight 609 took off from Luton Airport near England's capital at around 7 AM local time Sunday morning, headed for Glasgow, when a man is said to have left the bathroom on the plane and began making a scene.

Robert Whittaker is only 34 years old and still a top 5-ranked UFC middleweight, but the former champion revealed he can see the finish line of his fighting career!

TMZ Sports spoke to Bobby Knuckles just days before his UFC on ABC 9 main event scrap against Reinier de Ridder -- slated to go down from Abu Dhabi on Saturday -- when we asked him for a State of the Union on his career.

"I definitely feel the tenure like that I've had. I've been blessed to have been in this game for so long, but I feel like I'm right at the point where I can see the end is near, but I have all the experience and the body still to do what needs to be done," Robert said.

MMA fighter Aaron "Tex" Johnson LOST IT on board a Southwest flight, getting into a HEATED altercation with fellow passengers and crew ... and it was so intense, he was forced off the plane before takeoff!

After Johnson, 39, retrieved his bag from the overhead bin and headed towards the front of the plane, something seemed to make Tex snap.

As many as three NFL legends could be throwing hands on the upcoming Adrian Peterson fight card ... as Le'Veon Bell just told TMZ Sports he's got interest in boxing Frank Gore at the event.

We caught up with the former Pittsburgh Steelers tailback out at LAX this week ... and given he once knocked out Peterson in the squared circle, we had to ask about the upcoming tilt between A.P. and his poker rival, Joe "Baby Joe" Castaneda.

Bell said he believes his ex-NFL colleague will win ... before he informed us he'd actually be down to mix it up in a bout just prior to the Peterson vs. Castaneda main event.

Adrian Peterson's begun training for his celebrity boxing match with his poker rival ... and while his hands could certainly use some more sharpening, it's clear he's in great shape.

Check out some videos TMZ Sports has obtained of the Minnesota Vikings legend as he kicked off his preparation for his big matchup with Joe "Baby Joe" Castaneda ... he looked like he could still pick up a few first downs for an NFL team.

Rockin' a maroon tee, grey shorts and black shoes ... the 40-year-old showed off a svelte frame as he hit the mitts in a Houston gym.

Have beef with Akon and want to mix it up in a ring with the musician? Good news -- the "Smack That" crooner says he desperately wants to take a celebrity boxing match!!

The 52-year-old made the revelation during a recent sitdown with "THE UNTOLD" ... explaining on the show he'd absolutely accept a fight if a good offer was put in front of him.

"In my sleep," he said. "Please invite me in the ring!"

No one is safe these days from a fight on a flight ... in the latest example, take what happened Monday night aboard an Air Asia jet traveling from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to China.

At some point during the 4-hour trip, an older gent got pissed at 3 young women seated in front of him because they were making a racket.

The man told the trio to keep their voices down, but they refused, prompting him to call them "stupid" and demand they "shut up."

Terence Crawford's an underdog vs. Canelo Álvarez for the first time in over a decade ... but he's not sweating the unfamiliar label, telling TMZ Sports betting odds won't be the ones fighting him in the ring.

The thrilling boxing showdown between Bud and his rival is set to take place on September 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas ... and somewhat surprisingly, 41-0 Crawford is not the favorite.

It marks the first time since his 2013 bout against Breidis Prescott that gamblers are siding elsewhere ... but when we talked to him about that this week, he shrugged it off.

An all-out brawl broke out poolside at a vacation spot in Europe -- and it looked like something out of a WWE battle royal!
