Bitcoin (BTC) has recently slipped below the $80,000 psychological level, as thin liquidity and futures-related liquidations amplified market volatility. With macro uncertainty rising and risk appetite weakening, short-term price stability has once again become a concern across the crypto market. In this environment, strategies that rely solely on predicting price direction are facing growing uncertainty.
Turkish Women’s Boxing is Making Waves!
Busenaz Surmeneli (First Turkish Boxer to Win an Olympic Metal)
Women began boxing in Türkiye as early as the 1920’s. This came about due to foreign soldiers being in Istanbul. In 1924, female boxing was hitting the media. This soon started to diminish in popularity due to the newly founded Turkish Republic, in 1923. Boxing was viewed as unconventional for women to partake in. Women were seen as having enough equality by 1935, and the female boxing scene was put on hiatus. It took off again in the late 1990’s, when teams were formalized. In the 2000’s, Turkish women began boxing internationally.

Pre-Game Prep: How to Scout Single Matches on a Dating Platform Like a Pro
Most people open a dating app, swipe like thumbs are on auto-pilot, then act shocked that chats go nowhere. The app isn’t cursed, the prep is. Before swiping at all, it helps to decide what you’re actually ok with right now. Short term, longer term, “not sure yet but honest about it”, whatever. Pick it, write it down if brain keeps changing.
Then set 3–5 basic lines you don’t cross. Maybe kids, distance, smoking, politics, age gap, whatever matters in real life. When that stuff is clear first, it’s easier to look at a profile and think “nope, doesn’t fit the list” instead of “eh, maybe it will magically work”. That little bit of pre-game planning stops a lot of weird chats before they even start.

Background
After the Paramount era got off to a bang last weekend with Justin Gaethje defeating Paddy Pimblett for the interim lightweight title, attention now turns to Australia and the heavily anticipated rematch between Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes.
Volkanovski currently holds the featherweight title after defeating Lopes in April 2025, after Ilia Topuria had vacated it to move up to the lightweight division.
Before being defeated by Topuria, Volkanovski had held the title for 1526 days, defeating the likes of Brian Ortega and Max Holloway on the way to securing five title defenses.
As for Lopes, he caught the eye of MMA fans in 2021 after losing via technical decision, due to an eye poke, against Joanderson Brito on Dana White’s Contender Series.
Despite his chance for a contract being cut short, the UFC eventually signed him, and he made his debut on five days’ notice against Movsar Evloev in May 2023.
Lopes then went on to defeat Ortega and Jean Silva to earn a shot at the gold, losing out via unanimous decision over five rounds.
But Lopes is determined to capture the title and this time maybe his fortunes will change…
