How Chase DeMoor’s Boxing Transformation Built Cardio, Power, and Credibility To Beat Andrew Tate

January 27, 2026

Former Central Washington footballer turned reality star, Chase DeMoor drew understandable criticism when his first foray into the world of boxing resulted in several losses. Undeterred however, DeMoor dug deep with his training and is not only the reigning Misfits heavyweight champion, but he’s also building a solid pro record. While DeMoor beat the controversial Andrew Tate back in December, the enthusiastic boxing student is also eyeing up undefeated fighter, Tommy Fury. So, he sat down with M&F to explain why Tate’s match stipulations backfired, and why he’s taking on both the glamorous, and the far from glamorous fights in order to hone his craft. When DeMoor’s boxing debut in 2022 ended in a no contest, he hoped to erase a difficult start with a win in his second outing. Unfortunately, the Washington born athlete, who was a standout football prospect, was disqualified when he hit his opponent while already down. His third bout would prove more fortunate, however, when DeMoor...

Drake Maye’s Stone Cold Touchdown Sends Patriots to Super Bowl 60

January 26, 2026

It’s official, the New England Patriots are chasing a seventh Super Bowl victory after a gritty performance in icy conditions saw them beat the Denver Broncos 10-7 in the AFC Championship on Jan 25, 2026. Of course, the big story was Drake Maye making the only touchdown for his team — in less than favorable conditions. Despite the treacherous snow and ice on the ground, where running and passing was no mean feat, 23-year-old Maye delivered a heroic performance, rushing 6 yards to score the Patriots only touchdown of the game. To do so, he had to get past Bronco’s linebacker Jonah Elliss, fending him off with a stiff shoulder block as he completed the down. View this post on Instagram What Made Drake Maye’s Touchdown So Impressive? “I’m just proud of this team,” said Maye, commenting on Super Bowl qualification shortly after beating the Bronco’s. Maye is now the second-youngest starting quarterback to reach the Super Bowl, following only Miami...

Why Bodyweight Training Builds Stronger, More Durable Athletes Than Heavy Lifting Alone

January 26, 2026

Bodyweight training keeps bumping into the same criticism: it won’t make you strong. It’s true that at a certain point, you will need external loads to build more strength. But many lifters focus on the shortcomings of bodyweight training rather than its benefits, explains Brad Kolowich Jr. “If you can’t control your own body, you don’t truly own your strength.” In his new book, The Bodyweight Blueprint , strength coach Brad Kolowich Jr. aims to dispel the myths surrounding bodyweight training and provide a blueprint for getting strong anytime, anywhere. Kolowich, a lifelong athlete and strength coach, trains high-profile bodies such as Tyler Perry, Cody Rhodes, Alicia Silverstone, Luke Evans, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, using bodyweight methods. If it works for them, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t work for you, too. View this post on Instagram Who Is Brad Kolowich Jr. ? Before training A-list celebrities, he was a nationally competitive te...

January 26, 2026

History was made in nail biting fashion on January 25, 2026, when Alex Honnold, free-soloed one of the world’s most iconic skyscrapers, becoming the first person to climb Taipei 101 without the aid of a rope or harness. It was such an extraordinary feat that many of those who watched the high-stakes challenge wondered the same thing: does Honnold experience fear? Interestingly, scientists aimed to answer this question almost a decade ago, with surprising results. When the inspirational climber from Sacramento, California became the first person to free solo an ascent with a 5.13a grade during a 2,900-feet journey in 2017 , Honnold’s epic endeavor was hailed as “one of the greatest athletic feats of any kind, ever,” by The New York Times. As an intelligent athlete and author, the 40-year-old has won awards in the Alpines and completed many major milestones, but his recent solo scaling of Taipei 101 in Thailand, broadcast live via Netflix, has once again caught the public’s imagination...

Tried and Tested: The 8 Best At-Home Saunas in 2026

January 23, 2026

I’ve sat in many saunas that look impressive but don’t actually get hot or hold their quality over long periods of time. That’s the problem with the at-home sauna boom. Everyone is selling “detox,” “weight loss,” “longevity,” and “biohacking,” but the best home sauna is the one that delivers meaningful heat stress, safely and consistently enough to use multiple times per week. Saunas are one of the most researched tools we have for long-term resilience, linked to cardiovascular health, metabolic function, stress adaptation, and lower all-cause mortality. But those benefits come from reaching the right temperatures, often enough. The Science Behind Sauna Health Benefits Much of what we know about the health benefits of sauna bathing comes from long-running Finnish cohort studies published in journals like JAMA Internal Medicine and Mayo Clinic Proceedings . Regular sauna use, defined as 4-7 at least 19-minute sessions per week at high temperatures ranging from 113 °F to 212 °F, has...
