He worked in a warehouse and divides his time between driving a taxi and attending university: the story of Bebu Verón's resilience, just hours before a historic evening

Argentine boxer Francisco "Bebu" Verón is preparing for a career-defining match as he defends his World Boxing Council (WBC) continental latino super welterweight title. Ahead of this historic event, reports highlight his background of balancing multiple jobs, having previously worked in a grocery store while dividing his current time between driving a private hire car ("remis") and attending university.

In separate sports coverage, European football developments involve Atlético Madrid and Argentine forward Julián Álvarez. Reports indicate that the club shifted its stance to negotiate a potential transfer to a Premier League team, though a condition attached to the move was reportedly rejected outright by the player.
