The WBA lightweight champion, with a 30-0-1 record and 28 KOs, tested out Benavidez Sr.—father and trainer of unbeaten David Benavidez—a few weeks ago. This could shift from his longtime team of Calvin Ford and Kenny Ellis, who shaped him since his pro debut. Fans picture Tank's one-punch power mixing with Benavidez-style combos, though skeptics question the change after his March 2025 draw with Lamont Roach. A comeback opponent remains undecided amid rumors of rematches or mandatories.

Her comments drew sharp online criticism, with users mocking the logic through quips like legalizing theft to cut burglaries, while highlighting tensions over child safety and enforcement.

SuperM debuted in October 2019 as SM Entertainment's star-packed U.S. push, featuring talents like Taemin from SHINee, Baekhyun and Kai from EXO, and members from NCT 127 and WayV.

Now, with BTS back from military service and promoting in the U.S., fans are memeing SuperM's faded hype—quipping about 'Jopping,' the logo, and old SM founder scandals—while multi-fandom voices fondly recall the group's strong vocals and high-energy tracks.
