This could be one of the most exciting Premier League campaigns in years and Ben Dinnery previews the 2026/27 season ahead of the return of Final One Standing. Last season produced the tightest league since 1998/99, with just 13 points separating sixth and 16th, and everything points to another hard-fought battle for silverware. The old hierarchy is already being challenged. Sunderland made an immediate impact following promotion, while Bournemouth, Brighton and Brentford proved that intelligent recruitment and continual improvement can push established clubs out of the European places. British football also dominated in Europe, with Arsenal reaching the Champions League…

The strongest supporting bout matches Visioli with Hughes at lightweight. Visioli has advanced rapidly through eleven professional fights, while Hughes brings far greater experience against high-level opposition. Two defeats earlier this year damaged Hughes’ position. Both fights came on short notice, and one required him to move above his natural weight. Returning to lightweight gives the 36-year-old a better opportunity to show how much he has left. Visioli refuses to treat Hughes as a faded opponent despite their difference in age. “For us, our team hasn’t thought that he’s over the hill at all. We’ve just been offered the fight,…
Nico Elvedi revealed that Daniel Farke was a “big point” behind his move to Leeds United as he reunited with his former boss in England.

The idea that White personally contacted MSG to discuss available dates also drew ridicule. “I very much doubt that Dana White called MSG and started talking about their availability. If he did, I didn’t know he was a venue booker, right? He came out, and he said, ‘I’m the promoter of the fight.’ No chance. He came out, and he said, ‘I did the deal for the fight.’ No, you didn’t,” said Hearn to iFL TV. His anger intensified while discussing White’s claim that he handled the venue arrangement. Hearn insists Madison Square Garden cannot be confirmed until Matchroom and…

The outspoken Englishman hasn’t fought since Saul “Canelo” Alvarez broke his right eye socket in multiple places during their 2021 showdown. Saunders, 30-1 (14 KOs), was pulled out after eight rounds inside the AT&T Stadium in Texas, Arlington. Saunders is part of a glittering British generation from the previous decade, led perhaps by Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury at heavyweight, which also included the likes of,…
