ROBOT BOXINGChinese robotics company Unitree just dropped the announcement for what they claim will be the first ever boxing match between humanoid robots. The event is called “Iron Fist King: Awakening!” —which, let’s be honest, sounds more like an arcade game from the early 2000s than an actual tech showcase. But apparently, it's happening. In about a month. And yes, they’re promising punches. Between robots. For real.
They’ve already released a teaser video showing two of their machines squaring off in what looks like a training session. The bots throw punches, move around with a certain flow, and even stumble a bit —as if the video’s trying extra hard to look real because not everything looks polished. Still, it’s hard to buy it completely.
The movements feel… off. Too smooth to be robotic, too clunky to be cutting-edge animation. It sits in that uncanny valley where your brain goes: “Nice try, but I’m not sold.” It smells more like well-done CGI packaged as “look what we can already do,” rather than something truly happening in real time.
Are we getting closer to actual robot sports? Maybe. Are we seeing a real one here? Yeah, not likely.

A sweet memento from their first date.
28 YEARS LATERAlmost three decades after the Rage virus escaped from a lab, the UK remains under relentless quarantine. Survivors have learned to live among the infected, building isolated communities in a ruined world. One of those communities exists on Lindisfarne Island, connected to the mainland by a single, heavily guarded causeway. When a father and his son leave the safety of the island and venture into the heart of the mainland, they uncover secrets, wonders, and horrors—proof that both the infected and the survivors have changed in terrifying ways.
Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland—the creative duo behind 28 Days Later—this new chapter marks their long-awaited return to the saga. Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes, among others. While Cillian Murphy, the original film’s lead, doesn’t appear in this entry, he returns as executive producer and could make a comeback in the sequels.
28 Years Later is the third installment in the franchise, following 28 Days Later (2002) and 28 Weeks Later (2007). It hits theaters on June 20, 2025, kicking off a brand-new trilogy. The next chapter, 28 Years Later: The Temple of Bone, is already in the can and set for release on January 16, 2026.
