    Hardik Pandya might be out of the Indian team across all three formats but that hasn’t affected his brand value in the Indian Premier League (IPL). 
    In fact, if reports are to be believed, his IPL stocks are going to touch new heights as the new Ahmedabad franchise have zeroed in on him to lead their squad in the upcoming edition of the IPL.
    View this post on InstagramAccording to a PTI report, the franchise, owned by US-based investor firm CVC Ventures Capital, has finally received its Letter of Intent from the BCCI and they have already approached Hardik and two other seasoned campaigners to form the core of their franchise.
    Apart from his impressive IPL record, the other factor that convinced the owners to give Hardik the leadership role was his local connection and his brand value in the Indian market.
    View this post on Instagram“Yes, Ahmedabad franchise has received their Letter of Intent. However, they have been doing their back-room work for some time as it's a huge process. As far as we know, Hardik has been zeroed in on as the captain of the franchise,” the PTI reported,  quoting a senior IPL source. 
    “Hardik with his local connect and being a proven IPL performer for Mumbai Indians for so long was an obvious choice as captain and premier player,” the report added.
    View this post on InstagramBesides Hardik, the report also stated that the franchise was in final talks with two other proven IPL stars Rashid Khan and Ishan Kishan to join their unit ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction, which is likely to be held next month. 
    “The franchise has almost finalised its deal with Afghan spin sensation Rashid Khan and dashing keeper-batter Ishan Kishan as their second and third picks from the draft. As of now, that's what is finalised unless there are changes at the last moment,” the PTI quoted the source as saying.
    View this post on InstagramHardik and Rashid have been proven match winners for their previous sides hence one expected that all the hullabaloo would be surrounding their inclusion in the side. 
    But surprisingly not many fans were talking about the two senior players. Instead, they took keen interest in knowing about the signing of Ishan Kishan.
    It appeared as if all of a sudden Ishan had become the new fan-favourite. The Mumbai Indians supporters launched an earnest appeal on the micro-blogging site urging Ishan Kishan to not ditch them ahead of the mega auction.
    Ishan ko nhi please!
    — ꜱᴡᴇᴇᴛ_ꜱᴘᴀʀᴋʟᴇꜱ (@rohitian___45) January 10, 2022It will be good for Ishan's career if he stays with MI. Going to brand new franchise is always risk for any youngsters career.
    — Tejas Adake (@tejas_adake) January 10, 2022Why Ishan in Nehra Ji's team
    — Footy Animesh (@AnimeshFooty) January 10, 2022not Ishan pls
    — Surya (@Surya_One8) January 10, 2022Ishan nahi yr
    — AB (@alokmishra128) January 10, 2022They should not take Ishan.
    Otherwise we will ban them off of all the parties at Antilia.!
    — Jatin.Vats (@vats68) January 10, 2022Ishann
    — Sriniwas (@viratian_life) January 10, 2022No, not Ishan
    — Hriday Shah (@HridayShah15) January 10, 2022Wtf ishan too .
    — G Shashi (@GShashiYadav1) January 10, 2022Please say nooooooóoooooooòoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..
    We need Ishan Kishan at any cost
    — Mr. India (@NiteshV13) January 10, 2022If these reports are indeed true, the new franchise has done a terrific job and covered three important facets of the game with these signings. All the three players bring with themselves unique skill sets which cater to multiple needs of the franchise.
    A fast-bowling all-rounder is a rare commodity in India and if he performs to his potential, it’s safe to say that there is no one better than him in the country.
    View this post on InstagramIn addition to his leg-spin, another aspect that Rashid brings to the table is his incredible power-hitting which could come in handy, if need be. 
    Generally, we don’t see a wicket-keeper batting in the top three and that is what sets Ishan apart from the rest. He can open the innings and also perform the role of a finisher lower down the order.

    Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. Image courtesy: Mavs Moneyball via Stephen Dunn/Getty Images Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban denied a claim by a woman in Oregon that he inappropriately touched her while posing for a photo in 2011.

    Authorities did not pursue the claim and cited evidence contradicting the woman's account, which she alleged took place at a Portland nightclub.
    Cuban said "it didn't happen" when questioned by The Associated Press about details published in the Willamette Week in Portland, Oregon.
    The report comes two weeks after Sports Illustrated (SI) published a story about the workplace environment under Terdema Ussery ? the team's previous CEO ? alleging inappropriate behaviour and sexual misconduct.

    Experts are still baffled about the existence of a city in the middle of the sea, over a century after it was first discovered. 
    The interest in Nan Madol - the space in between - located just off the main island of Pohnpei in Micronesia in the Pacific was reignited due to satellite images of the region which allow for better observation. 
    The uninhabited city lies 2,500 miles from Los Angeles and is approximately 1,500 miles from Australia. 
    Early explorers termed the Island to be the eighth wonder of the world, owing to the 97 geometrically shaped structures separated by narrow water channels. 
    You can explore Nan Madol using the google maps here.
    According to the atlas obscura:

    "The complex of Nan Madol is constructed on a series of artificial islets in the shallow water next to the eastern shore of the Pohnpei island. The site encloses an area approximately 1.5 km long by 0.5 km wide and it contains nearly 100 artificial islets.
    Nan Madol seems to have housed the ruling elite caste of Saudeleur dynasty. It was a political and ceremonial seat of power. As a means of control of their subjects, Saudeleur dynasty had succeeded in uniting the clans of Pohnpei. The rulers forced local chieftains to leave their home villages and move to the city where their activities could be more closely observed.
    Most of the islets served as a residential area, however, some of them served a special purpose, such as food preparation, coconut oil production or canoe construction. Madol Powe, the mortuary sector, contains 58 islets in the northeastern area of Nan Madol. The centrepiece of the whole complex is the royal mortuary at the islet of Nandauwas, with its 7.5m high walls surrounding the central tomb enclosure.
    The population of Nan Madol was probably more than 1000 at a time when the whole population of Pohnpei barely reached 25,000. There are no sources of fresh water or possibilities to grow food on Nan Madol so all supplies had to be brought in from the mainland. The population of the city probably included a large number of commoner servants."

    To take proper care of your hair, you need a few must-haves. These include the basics like shampoos and conditioners, to some simple products that can seriously up your hair game, like a serum, hair oil, or even a hair gel. And we are here to break it down, and tell you what you should remember and look for, while building your hair care regimen. 
    These Are The Essentials You Need In Your Hair Care Kit: A shampoo according to your hair type  © Instagram/Varun Dhawan
    A shampoo is obviously a huge must have item in your shower caddy. It is the basis of our hair care and hair style routines. A shampoo is obviously meant to cleanse your scalp and your hair of dirt, sweat, and excess oil. But a good shampoo will do so, without stripping off your hair (and your scalp) of the natural oil that helps keeps your hair healthy. You don't want a shampoo that is too drying. So when choosing the right shampoo for your hair, keep in mind what the issues of your hair are, these can include dandruff, greasiness of scalp, breakage, dryness. And buy one that targets these. Also, remember that it is better to stay away from harmful chemicals like sulfates and parabens, especially if you tend to have dry hair.

    The next step, after cleansing your hair properly, is to nourish it. Most shampoos do take away natural moisture from your hair while cleansing. So you need something to replenish that lost moisture and counter that drying effect. And a great way to do that is to use a rich and nourishing hair conditioner. There are many conditioners that also target different issues, but the main characteristics you should look for is that it be hydrating. Do not apply conditioner directly on your scalp though, it's meant only for the hair. Once applied, keep it on for at least five minutes and then wash it off. If you have really dry hair, a leave-in conditioner is a great add-on you can try, along with DIY natural conditioners like bananas, eggs, beer washes etc.

    Now that you have restored the moisture and hydration to your tresses, you need to take care of your scalp. A dry scalp will ultimately mean drier hair that is prone to breakage, aside from the obvious result of dandruff and hair fall. Everyone needs to properly oil their hair and scalp at least once a week (if you have oily hair), and upto two to three times a week (if you have dry hair). If you have serious hair or scalp issues, then make sure to see a dermatologist before deciding a hair care routine. But for most of us, having a good hair oil in our kit can fix a lot of hair problems we tend to face. 
    Hair serum  © Instagram/ Ranveer Singh
    Up next is a hair serum. There are essentially two types of hair serum, one is used for styling and the other which hydrates and nourishes your hair. The first kind is for temporary use, affecting only the appearance, such as making it appear smoother. Use these while styling your hair using blow dryers. On the other side, continuing usage of a hydrating serum combats dryness, frizziness, breakage, and even split ends. The great thing about serums is that they don't need to be washed out, and they work instantly on your hair, giving it a quick and easy lift and shine. 
    Pro tip: Use a hydrating serum while your hair is still damp, for the best results. 
    A gel, pomade, or wax  © Instagram/Raj Kummar Rao
    Finally, end your hair care essential kit by topping it off with a hair gel or hair wax. You need to pick the right product depending on the look you want, shiny or matte, flexible or firm hold. Gel will give you a wet look, but a longer hold, while pomade and hair wax are lightweight and best to gently style your hair. Ultimately,which one you use is determined by what you are looking for, and also your hair type. 
    Pro tip: If you have dry hair, then skip the hair gel, as it dries it out even more.

    Yasser Arafat ? a Palestinian leader and chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) ? listens to journalists at the National Assembly. REUTERS via PW/JDP  Israel tried numerous times to assassinate Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat over the course of years, an Israeli journalist claimed Wednesday, according to international media outlets.

    In his new book called Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel?s Targeted Assassinations, investigative journalist Ronen Bergman asserts that Israeli authorities called off a bid to shoot down a plane after the realisation that Arafat was not travelling in it.
    According to Bergman, the Israeli military had kept on alert four F-16s and F-15s fighter jets from November 1982 to January 1983 if Arafat was spotted and urgent action needed.
    "At least five times, [the jets were ordered] to intercept and destroy airliners believed to be carrying Arafat, only to be called back soon after takeoff," Bergman wrote in the New York Times.

    Of these instances, there was one where the Israeli jets closed in on a commercial aircraft "traveling from Amman to Tunisia before they were pulled off the mission", Haaretz reported.
    On another, they disrupted a Boeing 707's communications.
    Nevertheless, they had to turn back each time due to the non-presence of the Palestinian leader.
    Bergman penned in the NYT that another staged operation saw Israeli national intelligence agency Mossad "taking advantage of lax security at the Athens airport, [where agents] waited for Arafat in the area where private planes were parked".
    In yet another bid, an Israeli intelligence agency team followed Uri Avnery ? a noted journalist and activist ? when he flew to Lebanon for an interview with Arafat, where they intended to kill the Palestinian leader.
    The narration turns even more shocking when Bergman mentioned that agents were ordered to take out Arafat even it meant losing a few Israeli lives.
    Yet, Arafat took a different route using his sixth sense and acumen and managed to stay safe.
    Israeli authorities had believed that assassinating Arafat would destabilise the Palestinian cause, resulting in its elimination, but they eventually failed.

    Grooming is as important as having a sense of style. Or in fact, even more than that. 
    You need to look presentable not just to impress that girl/boy you have a crush on, but also to impress the big clients in your next official meeting! Neglecting grooming is a big no-no, as it leaves people wondering why you couldn't have possibly taken care of yourself. 
    So, here are signs to watch out for if you're neglecting grooming. If you relate with any of these, it's time to upgrade your grooming routine:
    © Epiphanydermatology
    1. If you're getting razor burns from shaving, you might want to get a couple of things right. Firstly, make sure your razor is not infested with bacteria. Don't use your blade more than 3-4 times or more than three months at a stretch (whichever comes first). 
    It's also important to prep your skin with hot water and use a moisturizer on your face. You need to follow up your shave with a good alcohol-free aftershave that minimizes irritation and the growth of ingrown hair.

    2. If your eyebrows are leaning towards becoming a unibrow, it's a huge problem. You might think that taking care of your brows is not manly enough but trust me, having a single brow or haphazard brows is not attractive. Taking care of your brows only makes you more presentable and handsome. It's time you start.

    3. Having a neckbeard: You can't mistake your beard with extra growth on your neck. You need to draw a line that marks the ending of your beard. Try to keep the crop an inch above your Adam's apple for a smooth finish.

    4. Dry, cracked lips are a huge turn-off. Not only does it make your lips un-kissable but will also make you feel extremely uncomfortable throughout the day if you don't use a moisturizing agent. 
    © baldingbeards
    5. You need to change your oral hygiene routine if you have evil-smelling breath. The worst case scenario is when you possibly don't even know of its existence. It's time to ask a trusted person if your mouth reeks foul and if it does, take care of it with some good old mouthwash. 
    Pro tip: Mint chewing gums help in emergency situations when you can't access a mouthwash or a brush.

    6. If wearing black means snowfall on your shoulders, it's time to keep watch on the kind of shampoo you're using. Switch to an anti-dandruff shampoo that'll help reduce the dandruff, so you don't have to constantly brush your shoulders to avoid visible residue. Oiling your hair on the regular is another way to tackle dandruff.

    7. If partying or working late leaves you with dark, puffy eyes that take weeks to go, it's time to take care of them. You want to look fresh for a date or a meeting and not resemble a sleepy racoon. Try under-eye creams that can be really effective in reducing those dark circles.

    8. No-one wants to hold hands that are scaly, patchy. Since winters tend to make hands dry and rough, it's important to use a hand cream, so that you can have soft hands the next time your SO wants to hold hands with you.

    We are officially in the middle of #NoShaveNovember, that time of the year when men get the liberty to grow and sport a badass mane, without having to be answerable to anyone (particularly their girlfriends or wives) for it.
    But if your idea of #NoShaveNovember is simply confined to the notion of growing a long beard - irrespective of how you groom (or rather, NOT groom) it  - then you're headed for trouble.
    Needless to say, we can't let that happen. And since we are also here to help you ace your beard game this month, here are six simple dos and don'ts that all Indian men should make sure they follow: 
    1. Don't Stop Trimming As Trimming  ≠ Shaving  © Pexels
    Guys let's be very clear about one thing - #NoShaveNovember does NOT give you the license to stop trimming your beard. And in the guise of not shaving it off, you can't just be sporting a beard that will make it seem like you're homeless. This doesn't mean that you can't sport a long beard - just that you should make sure your beard (regardless of its length) is well groomed. So invest in the best beard trimmer you could get your hands on, and start trimming your unruly beard. You'll thank us later.
    2. Do Invest In Beard Oils As They Will Be Your Beard's Best Friend © Official Instagram/Ranveer Singh
    Beard oils pretty much end up being a godsend for all those who want to grow and maintain a beard this month. Not only do they provide your beard with the proper nourishment that it deserves, but they also help take care of the skin under your beard. As such, you absolutely need to make sure that you invest in the best beard oils out there, all of which will help you ace your facial scruff during #NoShaveNovember.
    3. Don't Follow An Irregular Sleep Cycle 
    Like most things in life vis-a-vis your overall health, the quality of your beard is also dependent on the amount of sleep you're getting and the type of sleep cycle you're following. After all, your body uses sleep as the time to grow and repair itself. So make sure you are getting eight to nine hours of sleep and you'll be sorted.

    You don't need us telling you about the harmful toxins in the air these days. With pollution levels rising to an all-time high in some Indian cities, the likelihood of your facial scruff acquiring some of those toxins, dust and dirt particles are pretty high. As such, it's essential that you invest in a premium beard and face wash for men that help you cleanse your beard each day.

    Investing in the proper face washes and beard oils is advisable, but there is a fine line between cleansing and OVER-cleansing. Needless to say, you need to avoid the later as depending too much on grooming products will only end up doing more harm than good.

    You are what you eat. As it turns out, this old saying is applicable to your beards as well. After all, your eating habits also play a crucial and imperative role in determining how good your beard is going to look. So make sure you adopt a diet that is going to be rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, eggs, potatoes, and orange juice and you'll be good to go.

    The recently released web series Ranjish Hi Sahi starring Tahir Raj Bhasin, Amala Paul and Amrita Puri is created by Mahesh Bhatt and is based on his life and his infamous affair with yesteryear actress Parvin Babi. 
    In the show, Tahir plays a character inspired by Mahesh Bhatt whereas Amala Paul plays a character inspired by Parvin Babi. The show also features a character based on Vinod Khanna, who was Mahesh’s close friend. 
    Ranjish Hi Sahi is yet another adaptation of Mahesh Bhatt’s life. 
    The veteran filmmaker has often created films and shows that take an aspect of his life. In fact, some of his most loved films are in fact, inspired by his own life.

    Before Ranjish Hi Sahi, Mahesh Bhatt first adapted his extramarital affair with Parvin Babi in the 1982 classic Arth starring Shabana Azmi, Smita Patil, Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Raj Kiran. 

    Three years later in 1985, he made a TV movie called Janam starring Kumar Gaurav. The film was about an aspiring filmmaker who was the illegitimate son of a popular filmmaker. 
    For the unversed, Mahesh Bhatt was the illegitimate son of filmmaker Nanabhai Bhatt. 
    Talking about his father, he had told TOI in 2003, “I was a love child: My parents were very much in love, but not married. I was born on September 20, 1948, to Nanabhai Bhatt, a Hindu, and Shirin Mohammed Ali, a Muslim. I was born after three daughters and followed by a daughter and son. My father did not live with us. When he came home, he never took off his shoes - he wouldn't be staying.”

    In 1989, Mahesh Bhatt tackled another aspect of his life in Daddy starring Anupam Kher. The film marked the acting debut of his daughter and was about his struggle with parenthood and alcoholism. 

    In 2018, Daddy was adapted into a play and at the occasion, Mahesh Bhatt had told Hindustan Times, “I changed the climax of the film a night before we shot it. Since I quit alcohol owing to my conscience, I tweaked the climax to show my protagonist doing the same.”
    In 1990, Mahesh Bhatt once again took inspiration from his own life and made a romantic musical titled Aashiqui, one of the biggest hits of his career. The film was based on Mahesh’s romance with his first wife Lorraine Bright. 
    In 2012, Mahesh had tweeted, “The best-kept secret about Aashiqui is that it is also an autobiographical film, as it deals with the story of my very first love.”

    Later in 2017, he had further elaborated on the same. He had told Hindustan Times, “The narrative of the guy falling in love with an orphan girl was kind of cannibalised from my relationship with the first love of my life... my wife Lorraine Bright. It was the heartbeat of this love tale... I approached Pooja to play the role of her mother because I could see the story of Lorraine highly expressive and more submissive if Pooja had agreed to do it.” 

    Mahesh Bhatt then revisited his affair with Parvin Babi once again after Arth from a different perspective this time with the TV film Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayee released in 1993. 
    In 1998, the filmmaker adapted his relationship with his mother and the ordeal she faced while raising illegitimate children. Titled Zakhm, the film starred Ajay Devgn in the lead role. The film also had Pooja Bhatt playing a role inspired by the life of Mahesh Bhatt’s mother and Nagarjuna playing a role inspired by his father Nanabhai Bhatt.

    A year later, in 1999, Mahesh gave up film direction but the urge to adapt his life on celluloid continued. 

    In 2006, the filmmaker wrote and backed Woh Lamhe directed by his nephew Mohit Suri and starring Shiney Ahuja and Kangana Ranaut. Like Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayee, Woh Lamhe was also about Bhatt’s affair with Parvin Babi and focused on the actress’ battle with schizophrenia. 
    Around the release of the film, Mahesh Bhatt had stated, “I was watching the last scene of Woh Lamhe in my editing room when it dawned on me why human beings have always tried to keep their dead alive – we try to keep them alive in order to keep them with us. Woh Lamhe is my last goodbye to the memories of Parveen Babi. A woman whom I loved and lost.”
    Well, clearly, it wasn’t his last goodbye to the actress’ memories as he claimed in 2006. Ranjish Hi Sahi in 2022 is proof of it.

    In between, Mahesh Bhatt backed Hamari Adhuri Kahani which was released in 2015. Directed by Mohit Suri and starring Emraan Hashmi, Vidya Balan and Rajkummar Rao, Hamari Adhuri Kahani was his tribute to his mother. 

    He had told India Today, “Yes, Hamari Adhuri Kahani is sourced from my own lived life. It has the heartbeat of my mother, who lived a difficult, solitary life as her husband, whom she loved so intensely, was conspicuous by his absence. He was simply unavailable for her.” 
    However, he mentioned that even though Zakhm was also based on similar lines, Hamari Adhuri Kahani was also about his stepmother, “Of course, this film, like Zakhm, is about my mother. But the main reason why I wrote this film was not her, but my stepmother. For the most part of my life, I saw my stepmother as a demon, but when I got closer to her I discovered that she was a magnificent woman whose life too was as tragic as my mother's.”

    In 2016, Mahesh Bhatt turned towards TV and directed a few episodes of daily soap titled Naamkaran which was based on the 1998 film Zakhm. 

    Now after the release of Ranjish Hi Sahi, here’s wondering how many more of his life story reboots Mahesh Bhatt’s going to present to the audience in future. 
    If they are more like Zakhm, Daddy and Arth, I am not complaining.

    Imagine losing anything in the Pacific Ocean! Most of us would write it off and forget about the item we lost. That's what happened to surfer Robert Bainter when he lost his Apple Watch while body surfing a large wave. He picked up his arm and his Apple Watch was missing. 
    © YouTube
    Bainter surfs at Huntington Beach, California and was able to reunite with his lost Apple Watch six months later. The shocking thing about his discovery was that the Apple Watch was still working even after being lost at sea for six months.

    Robert Bainter told KTLA 5 TV “This thing has been my good luck charm, I would use it quite often to show the surf and how fast you were going. It would even show you where you were on the beach.”
    Bainter used Apple's Find My iPhone app to find his Apple Watch every time he visited the same beach. However, he could not find it in time and six months had passed. He got an unlikely call from a man who said he had found his watch. It was found almost 5 KMs away from where he originally lost the Apple Watch.

    The Apple Watch was able to survive deep undersea for six months however prolonged exposure to salt water made the screen a bit hazy. The Apple Watch comes with a Water Lock mode which basically seals up all the ports to avoid entry of water. It can only be disabled by scrolling on the dial as it ejects any excess water in the ports. It is possible that when Bainter's Apple Watch was lost at sea, the mode might have been turned on when he was surfing.

    Hollywood star Will Smith shocked everyone when he slapped Chris Rock at the recently-held 94th Academy Awards. Chris joked about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, appearing like 'GI Jane 2' before presenting an award at the Oscars 2022. 
    The Gemini Star became upset and stormed the stage, slapping Chris and warning him not to use his wife's name in public. 
    The incident is still the most talked-about and will remain in the public consciousness for a long time. Meanwhile, actor-comedian Vir Das has slammed a troll who said he 'deserves to be' slapped like Chris Rock. While Chris had not reacted against Will, Vir stated that if someone attempted to retaliate against him like that, he would return the slap.

    Vir responded to the troll's post by inviting him to his next show. He tweeted, "You’re welcome to buy a front row ticket and try at my next show. Just know I slap back. Also once you’ve spent that front row money, your wife will probably slap you for ruining her evening. Cheers".

    Who doesn't know the name, Muhammad Ali! He is the biggest and most celebrated sports personality of the 20th century. Seldom, would you come across someone who wouldn't have heard about his greatest achievement and bouts, but by the looks of the current boxing scenario, there seems to be a new emerging 'Muhammad Ali' of the 21st century. The new era is all set to hail its new hero Anthony Joshua, a British boxing champion, as the next reigning superstar of boxing. Don't think his new title is justified? Well, here are a few compelling reasons that will convince you that he is indeed worthy of the superstar status.
    1. A Late Starter Yet An Early Star Cdn.vox-cdn.com
    AJ (as he is lovingly known) was all of 18-years-old when he first started boxing in 2007, all thanks to his cousin's insistence. Once in the ring, there was no stopping him. He was a natural star and his boxing record is a testament to that. He won the 2009 and 2010 Haringey Box Cup along with the ABA Championship in 2010. In the same year, he turned down a huge sum of 50,000 pounds to get into professional boxing. He wasn't in for the easy money, but for the love of the game!
    2. He Defeated Olympic Champion Roberto Cammarelle in 2011 Nfight.net
    Just 4 years into the game, AJ soon entered the world scene and defeated the then reigning sports star and Olympic champion Roberto Cammarelle at the 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championship. His one swift victory had added him to the world scenario and now he was all set to make waves. He even defeated boxer Erik Pfeifer of Germany and claimed a silver medal for his innings in the championship. 
    3. His Landmark Olympic Victory On Home Ground Media.buzz.ie
    The 2012 Olympics in London, Great Britain holds a special mention in AJ's boxing career. Placed on the home ground in the 91kg + category, he led a dramatic victory against the reigning super-heavyweight gold medallist, Roberto Cammarelle at just the age of 22-years-old. Staying grounded and modest as ever, he was quoted saying, "I will stay in the amateurs as long as possible. Sometimes it's hard against fighters with more experience than I've got. I want to dominate everyone in the amateurs, become a world champion, become European champion. I'm learning at each tournament. The more tournaments I go to the more I'll improve as a fighter."
    4. His Entry Into Professional Boxing CNN
    AJ turned a professional under the Matchroom Sports banner in 2013 and won his first professional bout against Yoandris Salinas. There on it was a landslide victory for him at every bout he played. Beating players like Paul Butlin, Hrvoje Kisciek, Matt Skelton and Konstantin Airich, Joshua took his undefeated record to a significant 8-0. His grand entrance to the game of professional boxing was a memorable one! At just the age of 24, he won himself the WBC International Heavyweight Title.
    5. His Rise As A Superstar The Sun
    From Commonwealth Games to IBF Championships, AJ rose to popularity with his landmark wins and massive professional gains. Beating the likes of Charles Martin, Dominic Breazeale and Eric Molina, he continued his undefeated reign as a champion. Along with his professional growth, he also turned into the ultimate poster boy for the youth. He is the perfect role model for the youth- a guy who isn't shy or ashamed to admit the mistakes of his past, a guy who played to his strengths by practising hard and making his way up the ladder yet staying more grounded than ever. He paints the perfect picture of modesty and professionalism. 
    Anthony Joshua's achievements are surreal and his track record looks unbeatable. No wonder then that he is even being considered for the prestigious BBC Sports Personality of The Year title. Voted by the public, if he does manage to bag the elite SPOTY title that has been handed out annually since 1954, he would bring boxing as an important sport to the centre stage alongside Tennis and just after Formula One. This 28-year-olds popular appeal seems to have no bounds and as rightly put up on Betway's blog, his nominations for the SPOTY will bring about an iconic shift in his already rising career as a sports superstar. Read more about Anthony Joshua and his chances of bagging the BBC SPOTY title here.
