Sydney Sweeney's taking one last lap around the ring ... sharing a ton of pics from behind the scenes of "Christy" and thanking everyone involved.

The actress dropped the pics the day after the film's wide-release in theaters ... with one featuring standing in the ring toe to toe with the film's namesake, Christy Martin.

The two are wearing complimentary outfits -- Christy does love her pink, after all -- and, they're grinning ear-to-ear.

President Donald Trump reportedly wants to turn the Washington Commanders new home into "Trump Stadium" ... and, the White House isn't denying it!

Here's the deal ... an ESPN report dropped Saturday which claims 47 has expressed a desire to turn the Commanders' soon-to-be opened $3.7 billion stadium named after him.

We reached out to the White House -- and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said it would be a "beautiful" name for the place ... claiming, "it was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new stadium possible."

Former NFL star Matt Kalil and his alleged two Coke cans have caught the attention of an adult entertainment site -- TMZ Sports is told an adult webcam site is ready to drop $300K for him to flex his blessings on its platform!!

CamSoda took interest in the 6'6" offensive tackle after Kalil's ex-wife, Haley, revealed on Marlon Garcia's live stream their 2022 divorce was sparked by their sex life. She explained his size was uncommon -- like "0.01% of the population."

The adult live-streaming platform told us it would be delighted for Kalil to showcase this rare gift on the site as the "Big Confidence" crusade ... and its offer letter includes a $300,000 payday.

If Sydney Sweeney's serious about getting in the ring for a good cause, she could have one of the greatest women's boxers EVER in her corner -- 'cause Claressa Shields tells TMZ Sports she's down to train the actress for a charity boxing match!!

We caught up with the undisputed heavyweight champion out in NYC this week .. and she said every woman should lace up the gloves and throw some hands at least once.

It would make sense four Sweeney ... considering she just played Christy Martin in a new movie, and trained her ass off for the role. She teased this week she could really take a charity bout.

Boxing star Chris Eubank Jr. says he's (still) open to fighting Jake Paul ... but tells TMZ Sports he doubts "El Gallo" would ever step into the ring with him, claiming the YouTuber-turned-boxer avoids real boxers!

We spoke with the 35-3 fighter after Paul pulled the plug on his big November 14th fight with Gervonta Davis, after the undefeated knockout artist was sued by a woman who claims he got physical with her.

So, with Jake looking for a new opponent (Nate Diaz and Francis Ngannou's names have been mentioned), we asked Eubank Jr. if he still had a desire to scrap with Paul ... a match-up he mentioned in the past.

Taylor Swift's trading Travis Kelce for another celeb dinner companion ... Sabrina Carpenter!!!

Taylor and Sabrina were spotted Friday night in New York City going out for a bite at The Corner Store.

The singers broke bread and shared some laughs during a fun night out on the town ... this after Taylor spent the last two nights going out to fancy places with her NFL star fiancé.

Los Angeles Dodgers player Alex Vesia is mourning the death of his baby daughter, Sterling Sol ... who tragically passed away just two days after the team announced he would not participate in the World Series.

"Our little angel we love you forever & you’re with us always," Alex and his wife, Kayla, said in a shared post on Instagram.

"Our beautiful daughter went to heaven Sunday October 26th. There are no words to describe the pain we're going through but we hold her in our hearts and cherish every second we had with her."

The big news about Matt Kalil's junk size has made him a marked man ... and "size queens" are on the hunt, or so we hear from a porn star who can relate.

Here's the deal ... Kalil, a former NFL-er, had his dong thrust into the spotlight recently when his ex-wife Haley Kalil said his size was just too much for her, likening it to at least a couple of Coke cans.

Porn star Girthmasterr tells TMZ … he can totally relate to Matt's story, since he found himself in the same situation more than a few times before his huge wang made him famous.

The Dallas Cowboys are paying tribute to Marshawn Kneeland after he tragically passed away on Thursday ... leaving flower bouquets at his locker.

Cowboys cornerback Josh Butler shared an Instagram photo on Friday that shows the current state of Kneeland's spot in the team facility.

"Love you dawg," Butler wrote.

Delonte West was administered the potentially life-saving drug, Narcan, before being put in handcuffs and arrested earlier this week, TMZ Sports has learned.

We broke the story ... the 42-year-old former NBA player was taken into custody in Fairfax County, Virginia, on Monday, after the local police department received a call for a man who was found unconscious and not breathing.

Our sources tell us West was breathing when cops and EMS arrived ... and at some point was administered the Naloxone spray, an opioid antagonist, which rapidly reverses the effects of opioids, out of an abundance of caution.

Donald Trump just made Darryl Strawberry's year -- the President of the United States has pardoned the New York Mets legend in his 1995 tax evasion case.

The three-time World Series champ revealed the news on Friday ... expressing his gratitude in a detailed Instagram post. He revealed POTUS personally called him on Thursday afternoon to inform him of the clemency.

"Yesterday I was home caring for my wife as she recovered from surgery, when my phone kept ringing relentlessly," Strawberry said.

11:41 AM PT -- Mark's Brother Nick Sanchez Jr., on behalf of the Sanchez family, tells TMZ Sports ... "It's been a long month for Mark as he continues to recover from serious injuries while also grieving the loss of a close friend. While the recent news — and its timing — is understandably disappointing, our priority remains his continued healing and recovery. Mark deeply values his time at FOX and the exceptional colleagues he’s had the privilege to work with. Those relationships are meaningful and will endure."

A month after Mark Sanchez was involved in a near-fatal fight while in Indianapolis to call an NFL game for FOX, the company has handed the quarterback-turned-broadcaster his pink slip, TMZ Sports has learned.

A FOX Sports spokesperson tells us ... "We can confirm that Mark Sanchez is no longer with the network. There will be no further comment at this time."

We broke the story in early October -- Sanchez, in town to call the Colts vs. Raiders football game, was involved in a bizarre altercation where he allegedly attacked a 69-year-old delivery driver ... prompting the man to stab Mark in self-defense, nearly killing him.

Rick Ross is begging Jaylen Brown to "end the madness" -- calling on the Boston Celtics star to get his barber to change their ways after yet another (alleged) in-game hairline catastrophe.

The Miami rapper shared his message while he was getting a lineup this week ... shortly after Brown appeared to leave his mark on Kyshawn George's Wizards jersey during a game this week.

"Whoever your barber is, tell them to stop," Ross said. "Chill with the hair follicles, those hair follicles. He’s spraying like hair from another human on there, but you playing ball, my n****. It's causing trauma!"

Antonio Brown stood before a judge in New Jersey on Friday morning -- his first appearance in his attempted murder case -- where the former NFL superstar agreed to be transferred to Florida, where he'll fight the felony charge.

Officials for the Essex County Prosecutors' Office tell TMZ Sports that 37-year-old Brown appeared before Judge Barry earlier today and "executed a waiver of extradition," meaning he won't fight being shipped to Miami, the location of the incident that led to the charge.

We're told AB will be held in the Essex County Jail until officials from Florida can come pick him up.

Delonte West found himself back in the slammer in Virginia -- this time, for a scary situation.

The former NBA star was taken into custody on Nov. 3 after the Fairfax County Police Department received a call for service regarding a male found unconscious and not breathing, the department tells us.

Officers arrived at the scene at a section of Fair Haven Avenue and Richmond Highway with EMS, and found him to be breathing. Police tell us they offered to take West to a hospital and he refused.
