Jimmy Doyle

James Emerson Delaney known professionally as Jimmy Doyle, was a welterweight boxer who died later in the hospital after a boxing match with Sugar Ray Robinson.

In 1947, Doyle challenged Sugar Ray Robinson for the World Welterweight Title. Robinson had the advantage in every round except the sixth, when he was staggered twice and received a cut over his right eye. A single left hook from Robinson, thrown as Doyle was attempting a right hook, ended the fight in the eighth round. Doyle fell backwards onto his back, hard. As the referee started counting, Doyle raised himself onto his elbows, and tried to use the ropes to gain his feet, but he couldn't. The bell ending the round struck as the referee counted off 'nine,' so Doyle was saved from a complete knock out by the bell. His handlers asked the ref to end the match, as Doyle was in no condition to go on.

Jimmy was taken to St. Vincent's Charity Hospital immediately after the bout, where he failed to regain consciousness and died a few hours later.

James Emerson Delaney died in Ohio on June 25, 1947 at the age of 22.

Hi! May I request something?

Queen Nia with an s/o who dies in a Boxing match?

Scenario: her s/o is the welterweight champion of the world. Unfortunately, tragedy strikes when her s/o dies in a Boxing match, against a brutal opponent, after suffering many powerful blows to the head, causing brain damage.

Hello! Thank you for sending in a request! Was very interesting to write this down :3

Masterlist

Synopsis: Queen Nia's darling is the welterweight champion of the world. Unfortunately, tragedy strikes when her love dies in a Boxing match, against a brutal opponent, after suffering many powerful blows to the head, causing brain damage.

Queen Nia Bloodwen x GN!Boxer!Reader

WARNINGS!!: Violence!! To Reader and others but not Nia, mentions of kidnapping, a lot of brutality, descriptions of Nia stoning someone to death, abuse of power, and Nia goes through it, some asshole called Aleck Balslev (made up character)

You started participating in Welterweight matches during college, to help pay for your tuition, you didn’t have much time to fight back then but when you did you made sure to make a mark on people’s minds, and it worked. You were well-known by the time you graduated college. You were seen as the unstoppable Welterweight champion. You’d enter matches and win effortlessly. You were strong and buff, no one had ever been able to beat you in a match so far, even if you did get beat up badly you always managed to bounce right back up.

As the years pass and you’re in your late twenties you meet this cute lady that had been watching from the crowds, looked to be your age. You noticed her in the crowd, who wouldn’t! She was stunning, and you wanted a bite. Little did you know she’d be the one taking the big bite. You greeted her after obviously winning the match, subtly flexing your champion’s belt as you spoke with her. You really liked talking with her, you two kept talking and talking well into the closing of the wrestling stadium.

Your relationship with the cute lady blossomed beautifully, this including when she finally confessed to you that she was the Queen, Nia Bloodwen. This of course came as a shock to you but after some thinking and time away from Nia you had accepted her with open arms! (In just the right time too since she was just about to have you captured and put in her palace.) So far you’ve been in such a happy loving relationship, sure she acts a bit strange sometimes but you just chalk it up to her rarely being able to socialize growing up, either way you two adore each other in so many ways.

As the years pass, you and Nia in your mid thirties at this point, you’ve participated in Welterweight matches less and less, focusing on your now wife and personal life in general. And don’t get it twisted, you’re still as famous as ever. Every match you’re in except the entire stadium to be full to the brink. And then some newbie who’s won every championship they’ve fought in decided to challenge you, and you saw no issue with that. You’ve fought many new fighters who were cocky enough to ask you to wrestle with them and won fairly easily. But this time was different somehow.

You and this guy, Aleck Balslev, have been going at it for a while. In all honesty you were struggling to even put a punch in with this guy. At the beginning of the fight you were doing great. Until Aleck punched your gut, punches in the gut were normal and expected, but this one beat the shit out of you, absolutely ruining your resolution and forced the breath out of you. The next few minutes of the fight were terrifying. He just kept going, with no regard to what he’s done. Aleck wouldn’t stop, he kept putting punches on you as you try to defend yourself, try to gain back your confidence while hardly breathing.

You had your arms up to shield your chest and abdomen from getting hit any further by the demon in front of you, and then just then his loud grunting and cusses faded out, looking through your boxing gloves you saw Aleck back away from you, very slowly, with the devil’s grin smeared all over his face and his eyes filled with murderous intent. This wasn’t any average boxing fight anymore, it was a fight to the death, and you were on the losing end. As you were about to yell out to the referee, to tell him you’ll forfeit Aleck sped across the ring– so fast you could barely register it– and pounded his fist into your head.

It was hard to breath, this scene in front of her, “STOP IT! STOP THE MATCH NOW!!” The queen yelled out from the box seats you reserved for her as you usually do for your matches, commanding someone, anyone, to get up and stop this madness as she watches her spouse get pummeled into the head by that freak, the referee got hurt badly attempting to interrupt the fight. You were still conscious somehow, she needed to get down there and command this Aleck to stop herself.

Running through corridors and hallways to get to the main arena she could hardly breath, yelling at anyone she saw to call the police, to call an ambulance, to do something and save her spouse from the torment they’re experiencing. She entered the arena, the place filled with screams of panic, and you were not in the ring anymore, some buddy of yours now in there fighting Aleck, though also being beat prettly badly. They were cussing and punching at each other like two feral cats but that’s not what’s important.

“Where are they!?!?! WHERE IS MY CHAMPION!?!!” Nia’s screams were loud, so prominent in the yells of the crowd. She kept pushing herself in, yelling at anyone who stopped her and tried to warn her of what she’s about to see.

Nia’s love, lying on the floor, motionless, blood smeared all over your body. Nia’s eyes were flooded with tears, you were nothing but a blob of blood. She tried to go and get you, to hold you in her arms, to make sure you’re still there with her. But someone held her back, even as she hissed, bit, scratched, screamed, they wouldn’t let her go and Nia wanted them dead. She needed you to look at her again, say your sweet words again, touch her again. Nia needs you to breath again.

Thankfully the ambulance was already at the venue when it happened and treated you to their best abilities. You were soon sent to a specialized hospital for neurolgical treatment. It’s been a week and you’re still not awake. You haven’t even said a peep, and Nia refused to leave your hospital room until she hears something other than machines beeping and wirring as they stand as your only lifeline.

The door opened and shut, yet Queen Nia was none the wiser, staring at your busted face, holding your cold hand. “My queen? I’m Doctor Tray. I’ve been the one treating your spouse.” No response, no acknowledgement, “I-I’m sorry to say this but-”

They were interrupted by a soft, mourning voice, “Then don’t say it.”

“Excuse me?”

Nia slowly turned her head to the doctor behind her, her eyes full of unshed tears and cheeks wet with shed tears. “If you’re so sorry. Don’t say it. Don’t say what I don’t want you to say.” The doctor sighed, “My queen, I’m sorry, I must. Our patient here is unfortunately braindead. While all their organs are functioning just fine, their brain has ceased to function. Without the brain there is no possibility of life, I am so-”

Nia growled at the doctor, “Shut the hell up. I know, I’ve heard this entire spiel 50 times already. And I don’t care. Get the fuck out or I’ll execute you. I’m the queen and what I say goes, so you keep their body alive on the stupid tubes as long as you can or else this entire hospital will be demolished.” Queen Nia got up, her fully black attire flowing as she walks past the doctor, “I’ll get going now. I have some business to take care of.”

Crowds of people murmuring, looking at the now roughed up Aleck Balslev in a see through plastic boxm, their Queen stood over them, on a step stool. Today is Aleck Balslev’s execution day. To pay for his crimes. Such as; Murder on the first degree, Betraying the queen, murder of a royal, treason, assault. As it turned out, Aleck was far above the weight max for Welterweight. Easily besting not only the now deceased Champion of Welterweight, but other big names.

A bag of rocks was next to the Queen, Aleck’s pitiful crying family all tied up forced to watch their father, son, brother get pummeled to death with rocks to the head by the Queen of Xelera. The fact she kept aiming at his skull was not missed by the crowd. Aleck Balslev has been slowly tortured to death via rocks, a suitable punishment. But not for Nia.

Nia went on to ban all forms of boxing or competitive fighting in Xelera. She’s built a statue right in front of the palace, a statue of you, forever immortalizing you. Her sexy spouse, smiling with the champion belt hung up in the air by your hands. You looked amazing. Nia also blocked off your previously shared room, not touching a single thing in the room, leaving it as it is, as you two had left it before you left for that godforsaken match.

Since then it has been noted that Queen Nia was no longer a happy person, she was cold, unfeeling, and always sporting a frown on her stunning face. Nia will never be the same person again. After watching the brutality that is your death she couldn’t find herself getting with a single other person. No one will ever live up to you. The champion of her heart.

Algerian boxer Imane Khelif won a gold medal in the women's welterweight division and was her country's flag bearer in the Olympics closing ceremony. She's become a hero in Algeria and is bringing global attention to women's boxing. But what she's most famous for is the intense scrutiny about her sex and gender after a rain of online criticism and false claims during the Paris Olympics. Now, the Olympic boxing champion has filed a legal complaint in France for online harassment, according to her lawyer. In a statement posted Saturday to Instagram, Khelif's lawyer, Nabil Boudi, alleged "aggravated cyber-harassment" targeting Khelif. He described it as a "misogynist, racist and sexist campaign" against the boxer.

A Long Rant About the 2024 Olympics Boxing Gender Row

Disclaimer: DO NOT REPOST. This post contains personal opinions and information gathered over the past week concerning female boxers and Olympic finalists 🇩🇿 Imane Khelif (left) and 🇹🇼 Lin Yu-Ting (right), as well as their opponents. You are welcome to share your thoughts, but if you come to me with hate or an attempt to convince me they are men through claims such as that of XY chromosomes (which have never been proven, mind you), especially if you or your source(s) cite the corrupt, biased and discredited International Boxing Association (IBA), will be blocked and have your comment(s) deleted. If proper fact-checking is too much work for you, I suggest you save your energy and block me instead. On the other hand, if there are relevant updates or information that I may have missed, do let me know in the comments, and I will edit this post accordingly. Lastly, I do not condone the harassment of any of the individuals involved - that time is better spent on more valuable causes such as 🇵🇸 helping Palestinians, 🏳️‍⚧️ supporting trans people, and calling for the rearrest of convicted child rapist Steven van de Velde. Thank you for reading.

Angela Carini is not a hero.

We all know Carini abandoned her match not even a minute in and complained about being “punched too hard” by Khelif - who made the women’s lightweight quarterfinals in Tokyo. The cop competed in the welterweight division and lost her opening bout 2-3 to 🇹🇼 Chen Nien-Chin (who will join Khelif on the Olympic podium, fuck yeah).

Carini’s involvement has gradually garnered less attention since her apology, but she will have a long way to go before she can be forgiven, especially by Khelif. An Italian posted and translated her deleted tweet before the infamous 46-second bout clearly alluding to Khelif as a man, and Algérié Football Média recently released a recording of Khelif, where she explains how Carini’s club and the Italian media took advantage of her.

What’s worse, the IBA decided to offer Carini a hundred grand as a “consolation prize.” At least this time the Italian federation values their dignity more and refused the money.

Luca Hámori is not a hero.

Remember the Instagram story reshares that she had to take down? Besides the bull-headed giant, Hámori reshared another which called Khelif a korcsot - a dehumanizing Hungarian slur which Google interprets as “monster” or “freak,” but more accurately translates to “mongrel.”

Hámori entered the ring expecting to walk out as a “savior,” but it was Khelif who turned out to be the bigger person that day. Upon her victory, Khelif called out the IBA for their abuse towards her, but she fights on because of her faith in justice.

Svetlana Staneva is NOT A FUCKING HERO. Neither is her equally ill-informed coach, Borislav Georgiev.

This case makes me especially furious not just because I’m also a Taiwanese woman like Lin Yu-Ting, but also the abysmal immaturity of 34-year-old Staneva, THE SECOND OLDEST BOXER IN THE FEATHERWEIGHT DIVISION. Even Hámori has shown more decency in the ring, and she’s eleven years younger!

If you, like me, have watched their full match, you should acknowledge that Yu-Ting was undoubtedly the better boxer that day - same case in her RO16 bout against Sitora Turdibekova.

On the other hand, you’ll see that Staneva doesn’t need “protecting,” considering she literally held Yu-Ting by the head and SLUNG HER ACROSS THE RING (around 3:25-3:30). I’m sorry, Staneva, did you ever realize the audience was there to watch boxing and not wrestling?! And she calls herself a “proud XX woman.” Our commentators did not witness that gesture, but if they did I trust they would’ve been fuming as much as I have the past few days.

If she truly were a proud woman, she would not play dirty the entire time, then give up five seconds before the final bell. Look me straight in the eyes and tell me that you would want to be represented by such behavior. I feel sorry for the Bulgarians and her other supporters who had to witness such a shameful performance.

Oh, one more thing… Guess who the IBA gave a bronze medal in the 2023 World Championships after disqualifying Yu-Ting?

That’s right, it was Staneva. No wonder her coach was willing to give up all professionalism and pander to the IBA’s lies. And look what that got them - now they’re not allowed anywhere near the Olympic podium! This could be unlikely, but let’s hope they are punished by the IOC and/or any relevant departments back in Bulgaria.

(I’m not going on Twitter for a better resolution of this photo. This one fries my eyes enough.)

Esra Yıldız Kahraman is not a hero.

I am at a loss of words.

What the actual fuck, Kahraman. We thought you were better than this.

I will only say this once. DO NOT confuse bad sportsmanship, disinformation, transphobia, (inter)sexism, and racism with “defending women’s sports.”

Reducing womanhood to chromosomes, genitalia, physical appearance, and/or some other bullshit is the most despicable and disgusting thing to come out of such hatred, and I will die on this hill. And gender tests? They were abolished due to their ineffectiveness at identifying maleness after Atlanta 1996, but the IBA won’t admit it. And considering their latest mess of a press conference, they would rather stay relevant with empty claims and unnecessary threats. Stop giving them the time of day! Listen to the podcast Tested instead for more info on this matter.

Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-Ting did not make the podium in Tokyo, but they will both leave Paris with their heads high up and medals hanging down their necks - all the while the likes of “fEmInIsTs” and bigots such as J.K. Rowling, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Logan Paul can only COPE AND SEETHE. Their victory is a victory for women, a victory for Algeria, a victory for Taiwan, and a victory for the boxing world that I never thought I’d care so much about.

I’m counting on Khelif and Yu-Ting to win gold and dunk on all the haters all over again. But respect to every other medalist in the welterweight tournament for being great sports - 🇨🇳 Yang Liu, 🇹🇭 Janjaem Suwannapheng, and our dearest Nien-Chin. You all deserve the podium! 💖💖💖

Million Diaper Baby: Chapter 1

DISCLAIMER: This story contains diaper usage, humiliation, domination, sissification, chastity, masturbation/diaper sex, and other ABDL themes. I hope you enjoy!

Commissioned By: Gun1242

-------------------------------------------------------------

In 2025, an up-and-coming Middleweight boxer named Blake “The Bullet” Rodgers stepped into the ring for his chance at a title belt. The event that occurred three rounds into his boxing match would forever change the sport as The Bullet delivered a nasty blow to his opponent’s lower gut, triggering a messy accident in the heart of Madison Square Garden. With his rival unable to continue, the fight concluded in an unprecedented TKO victory for The Bullet, and his legendary punch from that day became known as The Hollow Point.

Many of Blake’s fellow boxers would soon strive to emulate his signature move to achieve quick TKOs, and the sport of boxing became inundated with muddy undies before the year was out. The prospect of banning hits to the lower midsection was a bridge too far for the vast majority of athletes and spectators, leaving the International Boxing Federation to make the only plausible decision they could. Henceforth, diapers became a uniform requirement for boxers at all levels…

-------------------------------------------------------------

*DING! DING!*

Thumping his gloves together fiercely, it was safe to say Matthew Armstrong was having an off day. Sweat dripped from the ends of his spiky hair as he danced his way toward the center of the ring for the eighth round of his sparring match. His opponent was someone he had bested on numerous occasions, emphasizing to anyone watching that he was not performing at 100 percent mentally. Adding to his frustration, the feisty Welterweight knew the reason for his poor performance was entirely petty. This pushed him to become more reckless as he proceeded to take his anger out on his hapless competitor with a series of wild punches.

“It’s here!”

Suddenly, a female voice echoed from across the gym, distracting Matthew at the worst possible moment. His opponent’s glove made contact with the side of his jaw, resulting in an unintentional sucker punch that put the frazzled fighter on his obnoxiously crinkly ass. It wasn’t even a particularly hard hit, making the fact that it unbalanced him even more aggravating. Pushing himself off the canvas floor, he didn’t even wait for the bell to ring as he exited the ring in a huff.

“G-Good match,” called out Matthew’s opponent, his voice brimming with clumsy anxiety.

Matthew paid no mind to his sparring partner as he beelined to the other side of the boxing gym without a word of comradery. Instead, his focus was locked on a group of fellow boxers who were standing in a semi-circle around a large cardboard box. Dawning a sour expression, he folded his arms over his chest defensively and joined the crowd of onlookers.

“Eeee! I’m so excited! It feels like Christmas!” said the girl tearing into the well-sealed box with a pair of safety scissors. Dreaming of this moment since she was old enough to walk, Lightweight brawler, Amy Stone, tore open the parcel and proudly unveiled her big sponsor to her fellow competitors, “Heh! I think I’m gonna be covered on boxing diapers for the foreseeable future.” Her small gathering clapped and chuckled lightheartedly as she held up a package of plain white diapers with a giant CrissBaby Diaper Company logo boldly located on the rear of the padding. Years of intensive training and dedication had finally been worth it, and now, she was ready to leave her mark on the sport. She hugged the diaper pack to her chest, fighting back tears of joy.

*Scoff!*

Amy’s smile briefly faltered as Matthew’s breathy dejection snagged her ear. Her gaze narrowed playfully as she turned to see him sulking as he sauntered away from the group.

“Stupid CrissBaby,” muttered Matthew, failing to mask his seething jealousy. There was little doubt pertaining to who the best boxer in the gym unequivocally was. At only 26, his professional record stood at an awe-inspiring 19-0-2, and he’d bested damn near every local guy in his weight class multiple times over. And yet, despite his obvious prowess, he had yet to accrue any sponsorships to help take him to the next level, leaving him to scrounge for any cheap fight he could get his gloves on. He didn’t want to be bitter, especially toward Amy of all people, but he couldn’t deny that he was feeling raw about the whole situation.

*POW!*

Receiving a light punch to the shoulder from behind, Matthew narrowly avoided a trip to the ground as he stumbled forward. “Who the fu-” he shouted, ready to lay the smack down on whoever had the gall to hit him when his back was turned. His rage faltered as he turned around to see Amy smirking at him. He exhaled forcefully through his nose like a bull attempting to mind its manners in a china shop, “Oh…it’s just you.”

“Hehe! You looked so mad, bro. I must’ve really pissed you off for you to go straight to your corkscrew,” teased Amy, who was able to tell what punch Matthew was going throw based on his stance alone. After two decades of fighting alongside each other, she could read Matthew like a book and knew precisely how to poke at his most hair-triggered buttons. Unfortunately, while Matthew had always been highly competitive, envy was one of his rarer emotions, leading to a gross miscalculation as she carried on with her heedless taunts, “Oh, c’mon, Matti. Lighten up, will ya! Just because we have to wear diapers doesn’t mean you gotta act like a party pooper.” She reached forward to place a hand on Matthew’s shoulder, only for him to brush her away.

A small line of pink formed along the bridge of Matthew’s nose. “I told you never to call me that here,” he said in a hushed volume, referring to Amy’s incessant need to feminize his name at all times. He allowed her to get away with it when they were alone but that was only because of the massive crush he had on her. His eyes shifted to the handful of onlookers who had previously been present for Amy’s unboxing, praying that none of them overheard his embarrassing nickname, “And lay off the diaper jokes, will ya? Not all of us are so privileged to have CrissBaby pay for ours.”

Matthew’s pointed comment struck a nerve within Amy, who wasn’t looking to have her success ridiculed over nothing more than a harmless goof in her eyes. “Oh, is that what this is about? I thought you were slinking away cuz you just got put on your ass by a rookie. Not sure that’s the kind of performance CrissBaby would be interested in,” she shot back vengefully, displaying her own brand of brash egoism. Several more fighters bunched in around the bickering besties, amused by the verbal onslaught that was rapidly ramping up.

“19 wins and zero losses, bitch. Records speak for themselves. Tell me, what was yours again? 13-3? 4? You’ll have to forgive me for forgetting since I only have to keep track of one number,” said Matthew, earning a chorus of “oohs” from the male spectators.

“Okay, asshole, for the record, it’s 14 and 2,” clapped back Amy, who wasn’t about to let her win-loss count be downplayed, “And don’t act like your record isn’t inflated with amateurs and journeymen. I take my losses on the chin cuz those were hard fucking fights. I bet your pansy ass is gonna ball like a baby the day you get laid out.”

With no regard for his short-tempered retort from moments prior, Matthew was high on the belief that he had Amy right where he wanted her if she was already cussing. He rolled his eyes, knowing of how much that imprudent gesture ground her gears. “Too bad you’re never gonna find out. Sorry, Ames, but I don’t plan on losing any time soon,” he said, utilizing the three inches of height he had over Amy to look down on her.

“Wanna put those words to the test?” asked Amy, her tone deadly serious as she stepped forward and got up in Matthew’s face. In the back of her mind, she knew this was possibly one of the dumbest things she could do. Even if she were to completely erase the annoying gender divide, she easily weighed 20 pounds less than Matthew, giving him a significant upper hand from a sheer power standpoint. That being said, Matthew had talked far too much shit to not put his money where his mouth is. If anyone was going to knock him down a peg, it was going to be her.

Caught off guard by Amy’s impromptu challenge, Matthew found himself atop a very awkward hot seat. He had sparred with Amy countless times when they were growing up but he hadn’t faced off against his childhood friend since middle school. Cornered by his arrogance, he knew this was a lose-lose situation. “Sorry, I don’t fight girls,” he replied, his cheering section quickly turning on him as the “oohs” swapped to “awws” within seconds of his answer, “Shut the fuck up! I don’t see you pussies going toe-to-toe with any of the girls here.”

“Yeah, that’s because they’re smart enough not to run their mouths around me. Maybe take a page from their book if you’re gonna chicken out,” heckled Amy, twisting the knife for presumably the final time given Matthew’s cowardly rebuttal.

However, Amy never could’ve predicted the kind of fire her needling statement would spark behind Matthew’s eyes. Balling his fists, his knuckles crackled like a fuse being ignited. He still had no intention of fighting her but he wasn’t about to announce that to the whole gym after such blatant indignation. Letting his male fragility take the wheel, he knew exactly what to say to get Amy to balk. “Fine but if I win, you have to go on a date with me,” he said, a wicked grin forming on his mug, “And you have to dress up nice, too. No sweatpants allowed.” The “oohs” returned in his favor.

Amy’s smug visage shattered nigh instantaneously as Matthew’s shocking stipulation sank in. She wished she could say this was a first but Matthew had been coming onto her since the two of them were old enough to tell the difference between guys and girls. Despite being keenly aware of Matthew’s gushy feelings, she never reciprocated. She’d been around enough macho airheads to know that type of guy wasn’t her type. And yet, Matthew still harbored a deep affection for her, forcing her to constantly find new ways to let him down easily for the sanctity of their friendship. This was clearly a face-saving move to get her to back down, and she had to admit it was surprisingly effective. Had it been any other muscle-clad douchebag pulling a stunt like this, she would’ve decked him right then and there, but this was Matthew she was dealing with. If he wanted to up the ante to this extent, she was determined to make him regret it, “Fine, but if I win, you have to do whatever I say for an entire week. No ifs, ands, or buts. No backing out.” She extended her hand toward Matthew whilst maintaining a withering glare and refusing to so much as blink. “So, Matti, do we have a deal?”

Glancing at the now gym-wide audience encircling Amy and him, Matt knew any chance of this argument ending civilly was long gone. Their brawl seemed almost inevitable at this point. His fingers curled around Amy’s hand viciously, showcasing his superior grip strength. “You’re on,” he said starkly, oblivious to the blushy fate that lay ahead of him.

Matching the intensity of her opponent’s grip, Amy squared up with Matthew. Permitting her devious mind to wander as she looked him up and down, she could already feel the horns growing out of her head. She would certainly make him pay in more ways than one if she wound up stuck on a crappy date with him. But should she happen to pull off an upset, he was going to be in for a world of humiliation unlike anything he’s ever experienced.

TO BE CONTINUED…
