 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London. Harrison O’Neill Tiernan, 23, from Austin, was charged with cannabis trafficking. He was traveling to Heathrow Airport and had checked two suitcases for his British Airways flight. Inspectors discovered 65 vacuum-sealed packages containing a green, leafy substance later confirmed to be marijuana.

 Two Japanese boxers die from brain injuries after separate fights at same event


Two Japanese boxers died from brain injuries sustained in separate fights at a Tokyo event earlier this month. Shigetoshi Kotari, 28, collapsed soon after finishing a 12-round draw against Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation junior lightweight champion Yamato Hata on August 2. He underwent emergency brain surgery for a subdural hematoma, a condition where blood accumulates between the brain and skull, but died on Friday.

The World Boxing Organization expressed deep sorrow over Kotari’s passing, calling him “a warrior in the ring” and offering condolences to his family and the Japanese boxing community. The next day, 28-year-old Hiromasa Urakawa died after suffering a similar brain injury during a knockout loss to Yoji Daito. Despite undergoing a craniotomy to save his life, Urakawa passed away. The WBO again extended condolences and highlighted the tragedy, which prompted the Japanese Boxing Commission to announce that all OPBF title bouts will be shortened from 12 to 10 rounds. The commission is also investigating the deaths and plans to hold a meeting in September to review the situation. These incidents follow other recent boxing fatalities, including the death of Irish boxer John Cooney in February after a super-featherweight title fight in Belfast.
