Who would win a fight between Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg? It’s the sort of question that might be asked over a drink in the pub. But a clash between the two of the world’s tech tycoons may no longer be hypothetical after Mr Zuckerberg apparently agreed to a cage fight with Mr Musk. When rumours emerged earlier this month that the Facebook boss – a Jiu Jitsu enthusiast – was looking for a rival, the Space X and Tesla founder tweeted that he was “up for a cage match”. Mr Zuckerberg then posted a screenshot of the tweet with the caption “send me location”. Now that a fight appears on the cards, how would the two men match up inside the ring? At more than 6ft tall, Mr Musk would have a clear reach advantage over Mr Zuckerberg, who measures up at 5ft 8in. His height also means he would also have a significant weight advantage over his opponent, but Mr Zuckerberg’s Jiu Jitsu skills - he recently won his first gold and silver medals at a Silicon Valley tournament - would undoubtedly enable him to get out of a few sticky situations on the canvas. Mr Musk joked he had a “great move” to show off, noting that his workout regime consists mostly of spending time with his children. “I have this great move that I call ‘The Walrus’ where I just lie on top of my opponent & do nothing,” he tweeted. He added: “I almost never work out, except for picking up my kids & throwing them in the air.” In 2020, Mr Musk also told Joe Rogan that he “wouldn’t exercise at all if [he] could”. Although Mr Zuckerberg is smaller and lighter than Mr Musk, his technical ability and aerobic capacity could prove too much for the Tesla boss, who earlier this year said that his typical breakfast included a bowl of ice cream, biscuits and a donut. Mr Zuckerberg says he used to “run a lot” and got into surfing and then MMA after the Covid pandemic. “I really like watching UFC for example, that’s because I also like doing the sport [MMA],” he said on the Joe Rogan Experience. “It really is the best sport, five minutes in I was like ‘where has this best my whole life?’ To some degree, MMA is the perfect thing because if you stop paying attention for one second you’re going to end up on bottom.” In addition to his martial arts skills, Mr Zuckerberg also recently participated in the “Murph Challenge,” a gruelling workout named after Lt Michael P Murphy, a Navy Seal who was killed in action in 2005. The challenge, which the 39 year old said he tries to do each year with his daughters, involves 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats, and a mile-long run, all while wearing a 20-pound weighted vest. “This year I got it done in 39:58. The girls did a quarter-Murph (unweighted) in 15 mins!” he wrote on Instagram on 29 May. According to Total Shape, a health and fitness platform that provides resources and expertise from fitness experts, Mr Zuckerberg’s ability to “complete extreme fitness challenges and technique with mixed martial arts showcases he has substantial ability and endurance”. When it comes down to who would win in a fight, “it is agility vs strength,” experts at Total Shape say, while noting that, based on “general endurance and skill for cage fighting, Mark Zuckerberg would have the upper hand”. However, “having strength and longer reach can give a fighter a lead when it comes to forceful striking and make it more difficult for the opponent to strike back”. Ultimately, the health and fitness experts at Total Shape conclude: “Placing both titans in a cage, Mark Zuckerberg would have the edge of agility and endurance needed to take Mr Musk down, given Mr Musk isn’t able to forcefully strike him earlier on in the fight.” The potential face-off comes amid rumours that Mr Zuckerberg is preparing to create a new app to rival Twitter, which is expected to be called Threads. The app, internally codenamed Project 92, will reportedly feature a continuous scroll of text, buttons similar to Twitter’s like and retweet functions, and a 500-character limit on posts. It is not the first time Mr Musk has called for a fight with a global figure. In August last year he challenged the Russian president to a scrap. "I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to a fight. The prize is Ukraine," he wrote. Putin didn’t respond to the goading but the irony was apparently lost on his Chechen war lord ally, Ramzan Kadyrov. "A word of advice: don’t measure your strength against Putin’s, you’re in two different leagues," the henchman warned. In a statement to Verge about whether a fight will indeed take place between Mr Zuckerberg and Mr Musk, a spokesperson for Meta said: “The story speaks for itself.” Read More Mark Zuckerberg takes a swipe at Twitter over handling of Hunter Biden laptop story Elon Musk confirms cage fight with Mark Zuckerberg Elon Musk breaks silence on Titanic submarine that reportedly used Starlink internet Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg: Who would win a fight between tech titans?

Cesar Azpilicueta is in line to leave Chelsea and join Inter, ending an 11-year stay at Stamford Bridge. Here are the contenders to replace him as club captain.

Wagner’s armed rebellion is said to be moving closer to Moscow after the mercenary group’s vehicles were seen driving past a second Russian city. A Reuters witness said they saw they saw a column of Wagner’s vehicles in the Russian city of Voronezh on Saturday afternoon. One of the vehicles was a flatbed truck carrying a tank. It comes after Wagner group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin called for an armed rebellion overnight and warned in a video that he and his troops had taken control of the military headquarters in key Russian city, Rostov-on-Don. Vladimir Putin said an “armed mutiny” by Yevgeny Prigozhin was treason and a “mortal blow” to Russia’s troops. In an emergency televised address, the Russian president said anyone who had taken up arms against his military would be punished. Putin said he would do everything to protect Russia, and that “decisive action” would be taken. Prigozhin demanded Mr Shoigu and Russia’s top general Valery Gerasimov meet him in Rostov-on-Don, otherwise threatening to “blockade the city of Rostov and head for Moscow.” Read More Who is Yevgeny Prigozhin?

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is planning on a tactical shakeup to accommodate Jude Bellingham into his starting lineup next season.

After the Arctic Monkeys delivered one of Glastonbury's divisive performances this weekend, attention soon shifted to the band's frontman, Alex Turner. Some social media users were quick to praise the nostalgic set, with classics including 'Mardy Bum' and 'Fluorescent Adolescent' going down a treat. Others, however, branded it "slow, lazy and offbeat." It wasn't just the music that drew attention from viewers at home. It was Turner's striking resemblance to Top Gear's Richard Hammond. And now people cannot unsee it. Fans immediately turned to social media to share their unexpected observation. "It is near impossible for Alex Turner to look any more like Richard Hammond than he already does hahaha," one person wrote, while another brutal viewer added: "Alex Turner tonight - when your order Richard Hammond on Wish." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter "Twitter makes me howl! So far people have said Alex Turner looks like: a poor man’s Nick Cave, Roy Orbinson, Engelbert Humperdinck, Vic Reeves and Richard Hammond," another joked. "Alex Turner looking like Richard Hammond was the first thing I thought when I saw him," one Twitter user wrote, as another chimed in: "Is it just me or is Alex Turner really starting to look like Richard Hammond?" Ahead of Glastonbury, fans were worried that the band might pull out due to concerns over Turner's health. The band cancelled their Dublin gig after the singer came down with laryngitis, an illness where vocal cords become irritated and can affect the voice box. "We are extremely sorry to announce the cancellation of Arctic Monkeys’ show at Marlay Park in Dublin tomorrow," they shared on social media earlier on this week. Have your say in our news democracy.
