Boxer Joe Bugner
Dead at 75 …
Fought Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier
Published
Joe Bugner — a boxer who competed for more than three decades and squared off against some of the greatest to ever do it — has died.
The former fighter died at his home in Brisbane, Australia the British Boxing Board of Control announced in a statement Monday … sharing condolences with his family.
Bugner was born in Hungary but moved to England when he was six years old … and, he started boxing professionally in 1967 when he was just 17.
Bugner rose to become the British and European boxing champion by the early 1970s … and, though he lost 12-round decisions to both Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, his performances earned him respect from around the boxing world. He later fought and lost to Ali during a 1975 world championship bout.
Joe later made a career comeback in 1995 to win the Australian heavyweight title at the age of 45. He finished his career with a 69-13-1 … attaining 41 of those victories by knockout.
While perhaps most known for his time as a boxer, Bugner also boasted an impressive film résumé… including a part in the Jean-Claude Van Damme classic “Street Fighter” and a series of Italian movies with Bud Spencer.
Joe was 75.
RIP

Handles Bodyguard After Door Slam Fail!!!🫣

Rihanna wasn’t about to stay shut out — after her bodyguard let a door hit her in the face, she fired off a perfect clapback, all caught on cam!
The singer was stepping out of NYC’s Four Seasons on Friday when a door swung straight into her face as her bodyguard strolled right on ahead — prompting her to laugh it off and clap back, “Such a gentleman you are!”
TBF, he wasn’t totally checked out — he just seemed way more focused on the pack of paps rushing in and forgot Rihanna was right behind him.
The video’s already making the rounds online — and yeah, no clue if the bodyguard’s cringing over that door-slam fail.
One thing’s clear though … Rihanna can handle herself, and no door’s bold enough to shut her down!
St. Paul Church ICE Protester
Desperate Times, Desperate Measures!!!

Local and federal authorities are investigating after a group of anti-ICE protesters crashed a Minnesota church service … and one of the demonstrators tells TMZ she’d still do it all over again.
Here’s the deal … the DOJ and local police are investigating after protesters interrupted a service at the Cities Church in St. Paul … which is getting major headlines because Don Lemon was in the mix live-streaming the incident.

Chauntyll Allen, leader of Black Lives Matter Twin Cities, who was among the group, tells TMZ … the jarring protest inside the church was necessary to make clear to the parishioners that having a pastor who is also an ICE official is unacceptable.
Chauntyll, who’s also a St. Paul School Board member, argues the community is being ripped apart by ICE … so the group disrupting a church service — and upsetting some parishioners — in comparison is pretty small potatoes.

The protesters have been dragged by people on the Right for going inside the church … but Chauntyll tells us she doesn’t think a line was crossed … and she would do it again if given the opportunity.
As for the threats of possible criminal charges … as you can see in the video, Chauntyll couldn’t care less, and argues the feds have vastly bigger fish to fry.
We spoke to a Cities Church member who feels the complete opposite … and who welcomes authorities sending a message that this type of behavior is unacceptable. And it seems President Trump agrees … sharing a social media post that Lemon specifically should be locked away.
