Pegula said, “I can’t say that wouldn’t be exciting if I got to help out with the organization one day.” GSE Worldwide WTA No. 3 JESSICA PEGULA, whose family owns the Bills and Sabres, is “thinking about a future in sports ownership” following the eventual end to her playing career, according to Golden & Sherman of CNBC.com. Pegula said, “I can’t say that wouldn’t be exciting if I got to help out with the organization one day. I always thought that I wanted to be in the sporting world when I was done with tennis.” Pegula said that “despite the record high valuations and the recent team sales” across sports, she “wouldn’t want her family to sell the teams they own.” TERRY and KIM PEGULA bought the Bills for $1.4B in 2014, and the team was recently valued at $8.5B. They purchased the Sabres in 2011 for $165M, and the team is now valued at $1.42B. Jessica Pegula also reflected on her mother’s recovery from a 2022 health emergency. In 2023, Kim Pegula was legally declared incapacitated after her cardiac arrest resulted in a brain injury affecting her motor skills, language and memory.

Daniel Dubois destroys Fabio Wardley via 2nd-round knockout in highly anticipated rematch - MMA Fighting
Daniel Dubois made sure there was little room for drama in his second fight with Fabio Wardley. It took Dubois less than two rounds to score a definitive knockout victory over Wardley on Saturday in London, five months after their epic first encounter that ended with Dubois winning a war of attrition in which Dubois had to battle back from adversity after being knocked down twice. It took Dubois until the 11th round to turn things around and win their first fight, but this time Dubois beat Wardley to the punch and he never recovered. The rematch was officially stopped at the 2:21 mark of Round 2 after Wardley’s corner threw in the towel. With the win, Dubois successfully defended the WBO heavyweight title he won from Wardley, and improved his pro record to 24-3 with 23 victories by KO/TKO. In his post-fight interview, Dubois praised Wardley, calling him “a great warrior,” before adding, “it is my time and my era.”There’s no question this was Dubois’ night as he pounced on Wardley early, landing a jab and then following with a heavy right hand that took Wardley’s legs out from under him.
