Kamaru Usman survives upset bid from Colby Covington

Throughout the build-up to their rematch for the welterweight title Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York, Colby Covington disdainfully referred to champion Kamaru Usman as “Marty Fakenewsman.” Well, this isn’t fake news: Usman is the best fighter in the world, and it’s not particularly close at this point.

The snack giant’s CFO addressed the labor and truck shortages mentioned in Mondelez’s third-quarter earnings results — and came around to a dispiriting conclusion.  Although some economists had predicted shipping bottleneck relief could arrive by year’s end, “quite… Source link
