Boxing divisional rankings: Nakatani makes debut at 122 pounds; Joshua re-enters at heavyweight
The holiday season is normally slow in boxing but not this year.
The end of 2025 saw some movement as a former heavyweight champion made his way back into the rankings and an undisputed champion cemented his dominance, while a future opponent wasn’t quite as impressive in his divisional debut.
Anthony Joshua got back to his winning ways with a knockout win over Jake Paul on Dec. 19. Joshua, who had been out of action since losing by knockout to Daniel Dubois in 2024, returned to the rankings at No. 6. The highly anticipated all U.K. showdown with Tyson Fury appears to finally have some motion as “The Gypsy King” announced his return to the ring and their clash could happen before the end of the year.
Naoya Inoue was his usual dominant self as he earned a wide unanimous decision win over David Picasso on Dec. 27 to defend his undisputed junior featherweight crown, cementing his No. 1 spot in the division. He picked up his fourth win of 2025 and is now set for a collision course with Junto Nakatani in early 2026. Meanwhile, Nakatani wasn’t quite as impressive in his junior featherweight debut as he narrowly squeezed past Sebastian Hernandez in the co-main event. Nakatani debuts at No. 4 at junior featherweight. Whether it was the move up in weight or an extremely determined and underrated opponent has yet to be determined. But the win secures one of the biggest showdowns in Japanese boxing history.
Here are the first divisional rankings of 2026.
ESPN’s divisional boxing rankings highlight the best in the sport in every weight class. Rankings will change based on recent results and performances. Fighters who have announced they are moving to a different weight class will be ranked in that new division, if warranted, only once they fight in that weight class. Fighters who currently own titles in two divisions can be ranked in both.
Fighters who haven’t competed in the past 12 months — and don’t have a fight scheduled — will be dropped from the rankings until they fight again. Any fighter who tests positive for a performance-enhancing substance will also be removed. That boxer will be eligible to reenter the rankings after his next bout.

Athletics GM ‘always open’ to Kyler Murray reunion ahead of expected Cardinals release
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Kyler Murray’s tenure with the Arizona Cardinals is coming to an end.
The team reportedly informed the former No. 1 overall pick this week that he will be released at the start of the new league year, making him a free agent eligible to sign with any team, including, potentially, one in Major League Baseball.
Prior to declaring for the 2019 NFL Draft, Murray was a two-sport athlete playing both football and baseball for the Oklahoma Sooners. The Heisman Trophy winner threw for over 4,000 yards and 42 touchdowns during the 2018 season, but the then-Oakland Athletics still selected him with the 9th overall pick in the 2018 draft.

He signed a contract with a $4.66 million signing bonus, but Murray would forgo his senior year at Oklahoma and declare for the NFL Draft. After seven years in the NFL, Murray’s MLB career still remains a possibility.
“Kyler is an elite NFL quarterback and I’m sure there are plenty of opportunities for him to continue his football career,” A’s general manager David Forst told MLB.com on Wednesday.
“That said, he and his baseball representatives know that we’re always open to him exploring a return to baseball with the A’s if that time ever comes.”

Murray, 28, will likely have several options during the offseason. He is currently owed $36.8 million.
His career with the Cardinals has been marred by injuries and other controversies, including the study clause that was initially included in his five-year, $230.5 million deal signed in 2022. The clause was later removed. He appeared in just five games last season after suffering a foot injury, which later landed him on injured reserve.
The Cardinals finished 3-14 behind backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett and later fired head coach Jonathan Gannon.

“To everyone that supported me and showed kindness to my family and I during my time in AZ, from the bottom of my heart, thank you,” Murray posted in a farewell message to fans on social media. “I wanted nothing more than to be the one to end the 77-year drought for this organization, I am sorry I failed us. I wish this community and my brothers nothing but the best.

California school hired a coach, but police say he moonlighted as a pimp
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — The men’s basketball program at California State University, Bakersfield won’t turn many heads with its last-place ranking in the Big West Conference. But when it comes to scandal, the school could be a top contender.
Cal State Bakersfield’s athletic department has been in upheaval since Aug. 29, when then-men’s basketball coach Rod Barnes opened an anonymous email from a tipster who alleged that Barnes’ temporary assistant coach, Kevin Mays, was also working as a pimp across four states. Other lawsuits, internal investigations, dismissals and finger-pointing have only served to deepen the department’s sense of crisis.
In the email, the tipster identified a woman whom Mays allegedly had trafficked for several months.
“FIX IT OR THE WHOLE STAFF WILL FALL,” the tipster wrote in all caps, adding that the email was a “first warning and a final warning.”
Barnes forwarded the anonymous email to the university’s human resources office, which sent it to university police, triggering an investigation that led to criminal charges against Mays.
Mays, who is being held without bail, faces a hefty rap sheet of 11 criminal and misdemeanor charges, including felonies such as pimping. He also was charged with possession of automatic firearms and high-capacity magazines and possession of methamphetamine and marijuana with intent to sell. Separate charges cited him for possession of more than 600 images of youth or child pornography and distribution of obscene matter involving someone under 18 years old.
Mays has pleaded not guilty on all charges. His attorney, David Torres, declined comment to ESPN.
Sally Selby, the public affairs and communications manager for the Bakersfield Police Department, told ESPN that investigators are still conducting follow-up interviews “to determine if there are other victims or applicable charges” in Mays’ case.
As this case reverberated at Cal State Bakersfield, the school announced in September that Barnes and athletic director Kyle Conder had left their roles. Barnes ended a 14-year career as head basketball coach that included taking the team to an NCAA tournament and an NIT tournament. The school did not explain the reason behind their departures, and neither Conder nor Barnes agreed to ESPN requests for an interview.
Acting athletic director Sarah Tuohy and university president Vernon Harper said in a September schoolwide email that they were conducting national searches to replace Barnes and Conder.
Jennifer Self, Cal State Bakersfield’s senior director of strategic communications, told ESPN in an email that the charges against Mays were “deeply concerning.” She said that even though the allegations didn’t involve a student, the school consulted with a local human trafficking expert and offered awareness and education training on campus.
“We also viewed this moment as an opportunity to take a broader look at our athletic program,” Self said, adding that the university also launched a commission to make a more comprehensive assessment of the athletic program and recommend “structural and administrative changes” to better align the program with the university’s “mission and values.”
At the campus basketball arena in Bakersfield, set in the industrial flatlands of California’s Central Valley, Barnes sat in the bleachers behind the Roadrunners’ bench watching his former team’s December loss to North Dakota State. He declined comment when approached by ESPN after the game.
The anonymous message outlining Mays’ alleged pimping took Barnes by shock, according to a police account of an interview with him. Mays took the job as a temporary assistant coach in June at a salary of just over $3,000 per month, according to school records obtained by ESPN.
MAYS HAD PLAYED at the university from 2014 to 2016. The Runner, the student-run news site, quoted Mays in May 2016 as saying he planned to play pro basketball in France or Italy. Later, he joined the athletic department as a player-development coordinator, according to school records.
In his application for the position in 2019, according to school records, Mays wrote that he was driven by basketball, team building and helping young men.
“I gained lots of experience dealing with learning to lead young men and help them navigate the Division I experience in a successful manner,” Mays wrote. “CSUB helped me tremendously and I look forward to giving back.”
The school conducted a criminal background check before Mays’ appointment but found no problems, an October email from university president Harper noted.
But the anonymous email to Barnes, titled “IMPORTANT MESSAGE 911 911,” indicated serious problems.
“HE IS TRAFFICKING A GIRL BY THE NAME OF [redacted],” the email read, according to police records. “HE HAS BEEN TRAFFICKING THIS GIRL SINCE MAY,” the email added, listing Las Vegas, Oregon, Washington and California as his alleged operating area.
University police tried to contact the sender on Sept. 3 for more information. In a subsequent email, the tipster claimed to have known both the alleged victim and Mays through previous travel for sex work. The context of the email suggested the person was a fellow sex worker.
Mays told the tipster he was a professional gambler, according to the second email, and that he allegedly threatened to take away the tipster’s child if the person exposed his activities. The sender also gave police the alleged victim’s phone number and noted she previously had been arrested in Oregon on a DUI charge in a car that Mays had provided.
Further police reporting revealed that Mays had rented the car, but investigators determined that the contract used the university’s account with the Enterprise car rental franchise at Bakersfield’s airport. Police declined to share a copy of the contract, saying it remained part of an open investigation. The Sept. 4 police report states that the sex worker used the car for her work.
An Enterprise clerk and another, apparently more senior person whose identity is redacted, confirmed to investigators that the car was assigned to a university contract. The latter person told police “that only MAYS and other CSUB staff were authorized to operate the vehicle,” the report says.
If the police findings are confirmed, it means a state account helped Mays carry out his alleged human trafficking operation.
In response to an ESPN records request for Mays’ financial records, the university stated that Mays “has not been paid or reimbursed by the campus during his employment, outside of his salary.” Self, the school’s public information officer, told ESPN that university employees get “preferred” rates at Enterprise. She added that the school has “no records of Enterprise invoices paid by CSU Bakersfield with Kevin Mays as the renter.”
According to Kern County court records obtained by ESPN, university police determined there were no alleged victims connected to Cal State Bakersfield’s staff or student body. University police forwarded the emails to the Bakersfield Police Department, which verified the tipster’s claim and determined that the alleged victim was 23.
Police in Bakersfield also identified a sex advertisement posted by the alleged victim in Sacramento, California. The post noted that the woman worked “independently” and that she was open to being anything from “arm candy” for a party to a “no strings attached girlfriend.”
“I can morph into the exact woman you need and want me to be,” the ad read. “… I do it all. If you’re ready to have the time of your life, I cant wait to make some memories with you xoxo.”
Sacramento police ran a sting operation on Sept. 4 by scheduling a “date” with the alleged victim at a Sacramento hotel room they later determined had been rented by Mays. Her rates were $300 for half an hour and $500 for a full hour, according to the police report.
When interviewed by police after the sting operation, the woman identified Mays as her “boyfriend” and said that Mays “routinely covered the costs” for rental vehicles, hotels and flights when she traveled for sex work. The report also noted that police saw evidence of text messages between the two that showed Mays’ “involvement and control” over the alleged victim’s sex work.
Shortly after his arrest and booking, Mays denied any involvement in prostitution and told police his girlfriend had possession of his rental car. A police search of Mays’ car and apartment yielded multiple firearms, including automatic rifles, and a large quantity of drugs, the documents said. Police, using a warrant, conducted a subsequent search of his phone, which revealed close to 600 images of child pornography, including some depicting children as young as 4.
As startling as the allegations are concerning the Cal State Bakersfield basketball program, a separate development with the school’s softball team had been ongoing. It came into full public view after a softball player posted allegations on TikTok of having been verbally, sexually and physically harassed by softball coaches Leticia Olivarez and James Davenport.
The complex, often difficult-to-decipher web of personal interactions between the athletic staff and student-athletes underscored a culture of chaos. Inappropriate activity either went unnoticed or uncorrected by people in charge until a full-blown public scandal loomed.
Mays was far from the only one worthy of scrutiny. A June 2025 university investigation report delved into allegations against Davenport of illegal weapons transactions, threatening a student with a gun in a video, having an inappropriate relationship with a student and speaking openly about potentially criminal, violent actions against the school.
Lori A. Blodorn, the school’s vice president of people and culture, conducted the investigation. She concluded that the allegations against Davenport were adequately substantiated to warrant letting him go. “What began from this seemingly straightforward allegation and assessment of how we ensure coach and team safety, ultimately became a complex investigation into a myriad of allegations by Mr. Davenport and against Mr. Davenport, primarily from a [redacted] softball student athlete,” Blodorn writes in her report.
She concludes by stating, “Based on my investigation, I find the following: Davenport engaged in unprofessional and immoral conduct, and dishonesty, in attempting to facilitate the sale of illegal weapons.” He was dishonest when questioned about displaying a gun when talking online with a student, she adds. Blodorn goes on to list four other conclusions that, she writes, are based on a “preponderance of evidence” and justify separating him from his job.
Davenport had previously filed his own complaint with the school, claiming to have been the victim of workplace violence.
THE SCHOOL ANNOUNCED then-athletic director Conder’s immediate termination on Sept. 8, a few days after Mays’ arrest, but he later stated in a lawsuit against the school that he was fired in August — before the tip to Barnes but after Conder said he had uncovered “potential crimes and misconduct” at the university.
Conder’s lawsuit claims he had tried to warn the administration about nefarious activities within the athletic department. He asserted that he was fired in retaliation for whistleblowing.
The lawsuit adds that the school investigation could not substantiate the player’s claims against the softball coaches enough to fire them. Davenport’s contract expired in May 2025, and Olivarez remains on paid leave with a contract that ends in May this year. The player who accused them has transferred from Cal State Bakersfield, and the TikTok videos have been deleted.
Self, the university spokesperson, said that school officials “strongly deny the claims” made by Conder and as defendants in the case intended to “challenge the legal sufficiency of certain aspects of Conder’s complaint.” She added that the university remained “open to dispute resolution discussions in an effort to limit the disruption to the campus community and ongoing university operations.”
Separately, two anonymous softball players sued the school and Davenport last year. It also alleged that Conder “had a pattern … of failing to respond when receiving complaints against Coach Mays.”
The school has since denied the entire complaint and asked a court to throw it out, according to court filings. Davenport, in his court filing, also denied all allegations made against him. His lawyer did not respond to a request for comment.
In his own lawsuit, Conder says the school made him a “convenient scapegoat” to divert attention from the players’ lawsuit and the embarrassment surrounding Mays. He noted that the announcement of his termination came days after Mays’ arrest, making it appear “directly tied to the unfolding scandal.”
“Plaintiff’s termination was handled in a summary fashion, with no due process whatsoever,” Conder’s claim alleges. “… In reality, Plaintiff’s termination was motivated by retaliation and incompetence.”
Mays remains in jail awaiting trial. The preliminary hearing in his cases, originally set for Oct. 30, 2025, is now scheduled for March 13. A spokesperson for the Kern County District Attorney’s Office, which is prosecuting the case, declined comment to ESPN “to protect the integrity of the pending case.”
The drama inside the athletic department at Cal State Bakersfield has attracted the students’ attention, though some appeared unsurprised.
“We always joke in Bakersfield that we only make the news for the bad things because that stuff always just shines really bright,” student Seth Tolleson said. A scandal like this wasn’t what he expected when he transferred from a local junior college, he added. “It’s either zero or 100.”

Law firm fighting for women’s sports in SCOTUS battle comments on ruling possibly impacting SJSU trans lawsuit
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A law firm leading the charge in the ongoing Supreme Court case over trans athletes in women’s sports has responded after a federal judge suggested the case’s ruling could impact a separate case involving a similar issue.
Colorado District Judge Kato Crews deferred ruling in motions to dismiss former San Jose State volleyball co-captain Brooke Slusser’s lawsuit against the California State University (CSU) system until after a ruling in the B.P.J. v. West Virginia Supreme Court case, which is expected to come in June.
Slusser filed the lawsuit against representatives of her school and the Mountain West Conference in fall 2024 after she allegedly was made to share bedrooms and changing spaces with trans teammate Blaire Fleming for a whole season without being informed that Fleming is a biological male.

Meanwhile, the B.P.J. case went to the Supreme Court after a trans teen sued West Virginia to block the state’s law that prevents males from competing in girls’ high school sports.
The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is the primary law firm defending West Virginia in that case at the Supreme Court, and has now responded to news that Slusser’s lawsuit could be affected by the SCOTUS ruling.
“We hope the ruling from the Supreme Court will affirm that Title IX was designed to guarantee equal opportunity for women, not to let male athletes displace women and girl in competition. It is crucial that sports be separated by sex for not only the equal opportunity of women but for safety and privacy. Title IX should protect women’s right to compete in their own sports. Allowing men to compete in the female category reverses 50 years of advancement for women,” ADF Vice President of Litigation Strategies Jonathan Scruggs said.
Slusser’s attorney, Bill Bock of the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, expects a Supreme Court ruling in favor of the legal defense representing West Virginia, thus helping his case.

“We’re looking forward to the case going forward,” Bock told Fox News Digital.
“I believe that the court is going to find that Title IX operates on the basis of biological sex, without regard to an assumed or professed gender, and so just like the congress and the members of congress that passed Title IX in 1972, allowed this specifically provided for in the regulations that there had to be separate men’s and women’s teams based on biological sex, I think the court is going to see that is the original meaning of the statute and apply it in that way, and I think it’s going to be a big win in women’s sports.”
The Supreme Court’s conservative majority appeared prepared to rule in favor of West Virginia after oral arguments on Jan. 13.
Slusser spoke on the steps of the Supreme Court on Jan. 13 while oral arguments took place inside, sharing her experience with a divided crowd of opposing protesters.
With Fleming on its roster, SJSU reached the 2024 conference final by virtue of a forfeit by Boise State in the semifinal round. SJSU lost in the final to Colorado State.
Slusser went on to develop an eating disorder due to the anxiety and trauma from the scandal and dropped out of her classes the following semester. The eating disorder became so severe, that Slusser said she lost her menstrual cycle for nine months. Her decision to drop her classes resulted in the loss of her scholarship, and her parents said they had to foot the bill out of pocket for an unfinished final semester of college.
President Donald Trump’s Department of Education determined in January that SJSU violated Title IX in its handling of the situation involving Fleming, and has given the university an ultimatum to agree to a series of resolutions or face a referral to the Department of Justice.
Among the department’s findings, it determined that a female athlete discovered that the trans student allegedly conspired to have a member of an opposing team spike her in the face during a match. ED claims that “SJSU did not investigate the conspiracy, but later subjected the female athlete to a Title IX complaint for ‘misgendering’ the male athlete in online videos and interviews.”

SJSU Athletic Director Jeff Konya told Fox News Digital in a July interview that he was satisfied with how the university handled the situation involving Fleming.
“I think everybody acted in the best possible way they could, given the circumstances,” Konya said.
