After winning titles at super featherweight and lightweight, Gervonta Davis is officially set to challenge WBA “world” super lightweight champion Mario Barrios on June 26th in the main event of a four-fight Showtime pay-per-view.
Davis (24-0, 23 KO) took the IBF super featherweight title from Jose Pedraza in 2017 and defended it with a three-round wipeout of Liam Walsh, only to lose it on the scales against Francisco Fonseca. He went on to claim the WBA belt in the division, move up to 135 to smash Yuriorkis Gamboa for the “world” belt, and defend both at the same time via cretinous WBA shenanigans with a Knockout of the Year candidate against Leo Santa Cruz last October.
Cattle-driven clearing continues in Brazil’s Triunfo do Xingu protected area
by Liz Kimbrough on 16 April 2021
Triunfo do Xingu Environmental Protection Area lies in the ecologically rich Xingu Basin in the Brazilian Amazon and spans some 1.7 million hectares (4.2 million acres) an area more than half the size of Belgium.
Despite its protected status, the area has been heavily deforested, losing 476,000 hectares (1.18 million acres) of humid primary forest between 2006 and 2020, according to satellite data from the University of Maryland (UMD), a 32% decrease in total forest cover.
2020 saw the highest amount of forest loss since the creation of the protected area, nearly 70,000 hectares (173,000 acres) an area nearly the size of New York City; preliminary data show clearing of Triunfo do Xingu’s forests has continued into 2021, with “unusually high” levels of deforestation detected the week of March 15.
