Glasgow Rangers are refusing to stand still in the transfer market, with manager Derek McInnes now eyeing up a double defensive swoop amid the uncertain future of John Souttar. McInnes wasted no time in reshaping the Gers this summer, and the Ibrox boss looks ready to continue that rebuild by targeting two new centre-backs in August. The new era got underway with a frustrating 1-1 draw away to Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership on Friday night. Rangers fell behind to the hosts through Lachlan Rose’s first-half opener before Thelo Aasgaard rescued a point, leaving McInnes admitting afterwards that his…
Paulie Malignaggi believes David Benavidez must make a permanent commitment to cruiserweight if he defeats Noel Mikaelian. Rather than returning to light heavyweight, Malignaggi argues the next step should be a unification fight with champion Jai Opetaia. The proposed Mikaelian bout represents more than a title defense or another opportunity to collect a belt. Malignaggi believes it would confirm that Benavidez intends to establish himself as a full-time cruiserweight instead of making a brief stop before moving back down. “I think if Benavidez fights Mikaelian first and he beats him, then you’ve officially documented that you’re going to campaign at…

After being named a designated player, the 27-year-old is determined to repay the club’s faith…
Mariusz Wach survived seven rounds against Tyson Fury last Friday as ‘The Gypsy King’ looked to tee up his long-awaited clash with Anthony Joshua, and now Wach has shared his thoughts on how Fury vs Joshua might play out. In 2024, Wach was stopped inside two rounds by a 19-year-old Moses Itauma, so when he was confirmed as the opponent for two-time heavyweight world champion Fury, a similar outcome was anticipated in Pattaya, Thailand. The 46-year-old proved to be more durable than expected though, lasting seven rounds until retiring in the corner and awarding a below-par Fury with his first…

The decorated trainer was in the corner for Joshua just once, his split-decision loss to Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch back in 2022.

His most recent, Iegor Golub, was in the corner for Joshua’s second round stoppage victory over Kristian Prenga on July 25. Despite an emphatic finish, Joshua has been hit with criticism over his punch resistance after the heavyweight was dropped…
