Dominating a recognizable name would solidify his status at welterweight, generate valuable highlight reels, plus give instant credibility to his claim that he belongs among the elite. Instead, Hitchins dismisses Norman as unworthy while refusing to…

With Lopez, 16-0 (13 KOs), returning from a fight-of-the-year candidacy in his March eighth-round TKO of Mexico’s Manuel Gallegos, he’s looking to again entertain in the expected brawl with…
If you’re a winger and you fancy a move away, please notify Arsenal. For the Gunners, their pursuit of first-team improvements has not been easy this summer. Rejected by Vinicius Junior, it has been an uphill battle to secure their number one targets. The state of the transfer market has not helped, either. One of their primary targets coming into the window was Morgan Rogers but Chelsea gazumped the Gunners by agreeing to pay a whopping £117m fee. REUTERS/Dylan Martinez It’s a deal that has had an impact on the rest of the market. As a consequence, PSG have been…
Charly Suarez has received a rotten deal from the WBO. The mandatory challenger has already waited more than a year for a rematch opportunity against Emanuel Navarrete, yet the sanctioning body has now allowed the champion to face O’Shaquie Foster first. “Please be advised that the WBO World Championship Committee has unanimously approved an exception allowing WBO Jr. Lightweight Champion Emanuel Navarrete to pursue the WBO/IBF/WBC Unification Championship against O’Shaquie Foster prior to discharging his mandatory obligation. “As a condition of this approval, the winner must next face the WBO Mandatory Challenger within 180 days following the Unification Championship Contest,”…

Bharat not so impressive, Kishan made his Test debut in the West Indies that July and was also part of the limited-overs squads.But since then, the dashing wicketkeeper-batter hasn’t played a red-ball game for India, and did not feature in a single white-ball international for two full years in 2024 and 2025.It is only now, since the start of 2026, that he has regained his spot in T20Is and ODIs. A Test call-up is far, but the 28-year-old has…

Fury recently placed the fight in “serious doubt” and accused Joshua of wanting more money after plans moved away from a British stadium. Eddie Hearn has argued that Joshua signed for a UK event and that staging it in…
