Former junior lightweight boxing champion Jamel Herring‘s domestic violence charge stemming from an alleged altercation in January has been dropped, TMZ Sports has learned.

Herring’s attorney — Clyde Bennett — released a statement on the development on Thursday … saying there was “insufficient evidence to prove that he committed any crime against his wife” and the “investigation demonstrated her claim against Mr. Herring were false.”

Bennett added Herring has since been released from jail and is now looking forward to putting the whole ordeal behind him.

Too Short is advocating for Kendrick Lamar NOT to perform “Not Like Us” at Super Bowl LIX … he thinks the Grammy-winning diss track has done its maximum damage!!!

We caught up with Short in West Hollywood at The Abbey as he got back into the groove following his brother’s tragic murder … and the “Blow The Whistle” star was happy to dish sports commentary.

In terms of the Big Game, Short says he’s pulling for anyone but the Chiefs, so the Eagles in this case.

Patrick Mahomes‘ squad dominated the AFC West Conference which houses Short’s beloved Raiders … so it’s clear the Short Dog’s a little salty this year.

He’s also confident Kendrick will dominate his halftime performance but doesn’t feel he needs to perform “Not Like Us.”

Short says it’ll be a bigger flex for K. Dot to skip flaming Drake on sports’ biggest stage … simply because of how well it performed. He thinks it would be a bigger flex for Kendrick to let the song live in minds rent-free.

Ippei Mizuhara was officially sentenced to 57 months in prison on Thursday … after fessing up to swindling millions from Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani.

Mizuhara’s fate was determined in a Santa Ana, California court just minutes ago — not only has he been sentenced to four years and some change behind bars, but he was also ordered to pay $18 million in restitution — nearly $17 million to Ohtani and another $1.1 million to the IRS.

The former Angels and Dodgers employee pleaded guilty to one count of bank fraud and one count of tax fraud back in June 2024 … owning up to taking the money from Ohtani’s bank account to clear his debts with bettors.

Mizuhara expressed his regret over his actions again in court … saying it was a mistake that would stick with him for the rest of his life, but was prepared to accept the consequences.

Mizuhara’s attorney was pulling for an 18-month sentence due to his accountability and remorse … but ultimately, federal prosecutors got what they wanted.
