Professional boxer Shakur Stevenson has caused quite a stir in the boxing world since his recent title fight against Artem Harutyunyan. Stevenson, who now holds an Olympic silver medal as well as world championships in three different weight classes, was criticized heavily by boxing fans and former professionals for "playing it too safe." Stevenson's response was largely interpreted by fans as "dismissive and arrogant," leading to an ongoing back and forth. See what's being said for yourself here.

Art Fight is a monthlong creative event held on Discord where two teams of digital artists from all walks of life "fight" each other via their creations. Participants attack members of the other team by drawing characters in their personal style and those who are attacked earn points by returning the favor. The social fervor surrounding this event often bleeds into other visual platforms like Instagram and TikTok where artists share their final pieces as well as video content showing off their works in progress.

Swiss type design studio, Dinamo, reworked and rereleased one of their original creations, Whyte, in 2019 - unveiling it along with a unique inktrap variation. While it certainly isn't as timeless as something like Helvetica, it has seen solid use by brands such as Nike, Figma, and Mammut. Though typeface preferences come and go as the design word changes, it appears that Whyte is experiencing a bit of a resurgence at the moment. Check it out for yourself in more detail here.
