The Hulu Theater has a capacity of up to 5,600 seats depending on the configuration used. It sits below the iconic MSG and thus provides an intimate experience for fans due to its size. Ticket information for the light heavyweight title fight can be found here. In the past, the Hulu Theater has hosted the likes of Mike Tyson. ‘Iron Mike’ blasted out Sammy Scaff in the first round of his bout at the venue in 1985....

In a guest appearance on talkSPORT, Chisora disagreed with Alan Brazil’s claim that Whyte does not stand a chance.

Good things in small passages? The division’s maximum weight is 105 pounds. Also Saturday, England’s Martin Murray faces Italy’s Domenico Spada for the WBC Silver middleweight title. American Randy Caballero vs. England’s Stuart Hall for the vacant IBF bantamweight title. A card in Liverpool, England, includes title bouts as well. Headliner: Zolani Tete vs. Paul Butler, 12, for Tete’s IBF junior bantamweight title. It whets the appetite for November, in which Bernard Hopkins puts his WBA Super World-IBF-WBO light heavyweight titles on the line; Wladimir Klitschko’s IBF-WBO-WBA Super World-IBO heavyweight titles are contested and Manny Pacquiao meets Chris Algieri for Pacquiao’s WBO welterweight title....

The unit allegedly responsible, CBP’s the Counter Network Division, carried out the practice as a means of being “able to vet” whether certain individuals the agency intended work with, in this instance AP investigative reporter Martha Mendoza, were “reputable reporters,” a summary of the actions obtained by Yahoo News stated. Jeffrey Rambo, a CBP agent affiliated with the division, acknowledged using the technology to run checks on journalists in 2017....

Borderlands 2 VR will take PS4 gamers back to Pandora, where they can become a treasure-seeking Vault Hunter and experience the game’s insane gunplay and setting like never before. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, the game is also just two months away and will arrive on December 14, just in time for some holiday gaming sessions. Here’s a look at the official announcement via Twitter… Borderlands is definitely a franchise that gamers get excited about, so it will be interesting to see if the title prompts the sale of additional PS VR units....

YouTube channel The Know, citing a “credible source” close to the project, revealed some supposed details about Borderlands 3 in a recent video. According to The Know’s source, Borderlands 3 will be announced in the first or second quarter of 2019. So if The Know’s source is to be believed, it seems likely that a Borderlands 3 announcement will come before or during E3 2019. Of course, it’s possible that The Know’s source isn’t as credible as they believe....

As seen in the Borderlands 3 trailer, the Calypso Twins will be the main villains in the new game. They will be the leaders of the Children of the Vault cult, which players will fight against across a variety of different worlds, offering more environmental variety than seen in past Borderlands games. Some of the areas Borderlands 3 players will get to visit include a swamp area, a large city with towering skyscrapers, and the typical desert locales that fans of the franchise should be plenty familiar with by now....

Specifically, there are some major performance issues for Borderlands 3 that need fixing and will be the highest priority for developer Gearbox Software. Frame rate dips, lag in menus, and audio loss are high on the list of known issues for Borderlands 3 and will hopefully be fixed as soon as possible. RELATED: Borderlands 3 Gunplay Makes Technical Issues Bearable But outside of the general game fixes, there are other areas where Borderlands 3 could use some improvement....

One of the most significant changes in the new Borderlands 3 patch is the Porcelain Pipebomb nerf. The Porcelain Pipebomb, for the uninitiated, was arguably the most powerful weapon in the entire game. In its original state, the Porcelain Pipebomb would set off multiple explosions when it collided with objects, but that was never Gearbox’s intent. The new patch will make it so the Porcelain Pipebomb doesn’t let off multiple explosions, which means some players may have to switch up their boss-melting strategies....

Notably, some of this will be releasing at a later time, while some of this and particularly the level cap increase will be released alongside the Borderlands 3 Broken Hearts Day event. The level cap increase is something fans have anticipated for some time, but it’s a particularly strange approach: it is only increaing by 3 levels. Considering how Borderlands 2 jumped from 50 to 61 and then from 61-72, it seems like a strange choice with some strange implications....

Von der Leyen said the two sides were still “far apart” from an agreement, with differences still remaining over issues such as fishing rights and business competition.

Grosskreutz hospitalised after attack The Bundesliga giants were travelling to face the third-division side in the DFB-Pokal at their 10,000-capacity Frimo Stadion when their progress was halted by the rural environment. Lotte, just outside the city of Osnabruck and approximately 120 kilometres north of Dortmund, has a population of just over 14,000. A tractor eventually arrived at the scene to pull the Dortmund bus out of trouble and allow Thomas Tuchel’s team to complete their journey....

Dortmund confirm extent of Thomas Delaney’s injury The central midfielder has been a routine starter for this season with six appearances. Averaging around two tackles and three interceptions per game, Delaney has been instrumental in winning the ball from the opposition and acting as a focal points to begin attacks. While making an appearance for Denmark in the UEFA EURO 2020 qualifying game against the Republic of Ireland on Monday, Delaney left the field after sustaining an injury following a tackle from an opposing player....

Goals from Marco Reus and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the first half and second half respectively gave Dortmund a 2-0 lead. But, a resilient fightback from the Gladbach saw them pull one back through Raffael. However, a deft Gundogan volley gave Tomas Tuchel’s side all the 3 points. Gladbach were thrashed 4-0 by Dortmund in the opening game of the season, where they looked exposed at the back and were hit on the counter....

The hosts would be seeking to get back to winning ways, having drawn two consecutive games with FC Barcelona in the Champions League and Eintracht Frankfurt in the league. Last week, BVB held a 2-1 lead heading into the dying embers of the game at the Commerzbank-Arena, before a late own goal by Thomas Delaney saw them drop points and lose further ground on the early pacesetters, RB Leipzig....

The hosts’ 3-0 win over FC Schalke on 20 March was their first win in nine games across all competitions. Freiburg also recorded a 2-0 win in their previous outing against Augsburg after two consecutive losses. The hosts have lost their last four games at Borussia Park. They will be hoping to end that winless run in this game against a side they haven’t lost to in their last 16 meetings....

His next try, from almost the same spot, swished. And the third one essentially saved the Miami Heat. A threesome of 3-pointers — he had never made that many in an NBA quarter, to say nothing of his 79-second span Sunday night — highlighted a run where Bosh scored 13 straight Miami points, and the Heat beat the Charlotte Bobcats 99-98 to extend their winning streak to 10 games. The Heat led for the final 1:20, the time remaining when Bosh's third 3 put Miami up 93-91....
