Boxer Julio César Chávez says he told drug lords including El Chapo to 'go to hell' after they showed up without cocaine to party after 1992 victory over Puerto Rican legend Hector 'Macho' Camacho

Mexico boxing legend Julio César Chávez says he demanded cocaine from some of the world's most notorious drug lords after they showed up to a victory party without any. Chávez said he was celebrating his win over Héctor 'Macho' Camacho at the Thomas & Mack Center on the night of September 9, 1992, and had a meeting with a veritable who's who of drug bosses. Chávez said that Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán, Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, Héctor Luis 'El Güero' Palma, Juan José 'El Azul' Esparragoza, Amado 'El Señor de los Cielos' Carrillo, and the Arellano Félix brothers all showed up to mark his victory. But the boxer says he told them 'to go to hell' because they did not have enough cocaine for his personal use.

So much for the police crackdown! Extinction Rebellion shuts down Oxford Circus AGAIN as eco-mob re-erect giant pink table in middle of London's busiest shopping district while officers just stand and watch

More than 100 police officers stood idly by as Extinction Rebellion protestors brought chaos to one of London’s premier shopping districts. XR activists blockaded the busy intersection between Oxford Street and Regent Street, spending the entire afternoon playing drums, eating and listening to speeches as surrounding roads were closed, leaving traffic gridlocked.

A number of protestors chained themselves to the half-finished giant table and chairs, which would have measured 2.5 metres high if it had been completed. In bright afternoon sunshine, activists munched on food such as papayas and on

EXCLUSIVE: 'We're leaving in 72 HOURS - it doesn't matter who's left on the ground.' Former CIA officer says he's been told the deadline to evacuate Americans from Kabul is far shorter than August 31 cutoff

American civilians and Afghan allies have just 72 hours before evacuations from Kabul end, a former CIA officer and terrorism expert has claimed.  Sam Faddis, who served as the head of the Counter Terrorism Center's Weapons of Mass Destruction unit, said sources in the Pentagon, military officers in Kabul and other former intelligence agency officers have told him that flights for civilians out of the Afghan capital will actually end in the next three days. The alleged deadline has not been officially announced or verified, but raises fears that American citizens could be left behind in the Taliban-occupied city. On Tuesday President Joe Biden confirmed that US forces will be leaving the country by August 31, a date agreed with the Taliban - but Faddis claims American civilians currently in the city have a far shorter deadline. 'Biden decided we're pulling out within 72 hours. We're gone, and it doesn't matter who's left on the ground,' the ex-CIA officer to
