Hey listen, if you’ve got $8.99 million laying around, you could be the proud owner of a former Las Vegas football player’s luxury house! Former Raiders quarterback, Derek Carr, has finally put his stunning Las Vegas property up for sale! It has officially hit the market, and while most of us will be appreciating the property on websites like Zillow (a man can dream, right?) the Las Vegas property, located in Southern Highlands, has been listed by Colwell Banker Premier Realty for nearly $9 million!

Derek Carr And His Wife Went All Out On This House

The luxury property was originally owned by Derek and his wife Heather Carr. According to a report by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the two purchased the Southern Highlands home when it was still under construction in 2019. Both Derek and Heather took their time to add personal touches throughout the house, transforming it into a high-end property with landscaped gardens and amenities fit for anyone who enjoys the finer things in life.

The house itself, spans a remarkable 8,628 square feet. I can’t even imagine what that monthly Nevada Power bill looks like to cool it during the summer!

According to LVRJ’s reporting, the house also features 5 bedrooms, each with suite style bathrooms and custom walk-in closets. Five full-sized bathrooms and two halves can also be found throughout the house. Also, if hosting guests is something that’s important to you, the property also has a 1,000 square foot casita that holds an additional 2 bedrooms and full bathrooms.

Room For All The Fun Things In Life

Whoever buys this home is going to have tons of space for fun and toys. Derek’s former house also has an 8-car garage, a sports area, an outdoor BBQ, and two pools. One of the pools even has a slide and waterfall included.

Finally, according to the Review-Journal’s article, all new owners have the option to a membership to the Southern Highlands Golf Club.

Best Female Boxers in the World Today, Ranked

There’s something so classic about boxing. It’s not just men, of course. Today, the best female boxers in the world really stand up to any of the guys. So, which female boxers are currently ruling it in the ring in 2024?

Best Female Boxers in the World Today

Before we get into the best female boxers in the world right now, let’s look ahead to a major boxing event happening later this summer. The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris will be a big chance to spotlight the best female and male boxers in the world. Boxing has been a part of the Olympics for more than a century. It made its debut at the modern Olympic Games in 1904, and boxing has been part of every Summer Games since, except for the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, because Swedish law banned boxing back then. At the first Olympics with boxing in 1904, the U.S.A. won it all in St. Louis, because it was the only NOC to compete in the event. Over the years, Team U.S.A. athletes have dominated in boxing, winning 117 medals overall. Other countries that have done well include Cuba with 78 medals and Great Britain with 62 medals. Women’s boxing first became part of the Olympic program at the London 2012 games.

The rules are a bit different in Olympic boxing. “Only amateur boxers are allowed to compete, which means the Olympic Games are often the starting point of a glittering career for some of the biggest names in the sport, including none other than Muhammad Ali,” the official Olympics website states. Also, “between 1984 and 2012, male boxers were required to wear protective headgear, but the rule was abandoned for the 2016 Rio Games,” although “female boxers are still required to wear head guards.” In Olympic boxing, each bout is disputed in three rounds of three minutes each for men and four rounds of two minutes each for ladies. After each round, each of the judges picks a winner based on the judging criteria. The winner of that round gets 10 points. The loser can get between seven to nine points, depending on their performance level. At the end of all the rounds, the judges do the math to see who won.

So, if you’re a boxing fan, you have the Olympics up ahead. Now, onto the best female boxers in the world in 2024, from Claressa Shields to Natasha Jonas and more. These are professional boxers, so you won’t see them in Paris. If you love boxing, send me your favorite female boxers. My dad was a boxer, so it’s in my blood.
