Burnley have been issued with a wake up call as their fans slam their side’s ‘shambolic’ 3-1 defeat to West Brom.

Donovan is coming off a 12-round majority decision over Karen Chukhadzhian in Germany last May. He scored two knockdowns and won 115-111 and 114-112, with the third judge producing a 113-113 card. Chukhadzhian is in another league from McKenna. Jaron Ennis discovered that during their two meetings, particularly the first in January 2023. The Ukrainian’s movement, defensive ability and awkward counterpunching prevented Ennis from putting on a dominant performance many anticipated. Still, Donovan is not infallible. Lewis Crocker beat him in consecutive fights in 2025. He was disqualified for hitting after the bell in their first encounter before losing a…

His loss was not as one-sided as the official scores of 118-110, 118-110, and 119-109 suggested. Stevenson landed 295 of 565 punches, compared with Zepeda’s 272 of 979. Shakur was far more accurate, connecting at approximately 52% against Zepeda’s 28%, but only 23 landed punches separated them across 12 rounds. A later victory over Lamont Roach Jr. gave Zepeda the WBC lightweight title that Stevenson previously held. It was his first full world championship, but he had already reached interim title status before meeting Shakur. What was interesting is how Shakur handled it publicly. Before Zepeda fought Lamont Roach Jr,…

A concern for Sunderland at the end of last season was that they were not prolific scorers in the Premier League and needed to bolster their frontline. Despite finishing seventh in the division and qualifying for the Europa League, a return of 42 goals in 38 matches left a concern that they may struggle for goals this season. REUTERS/Scott Heppell Their lack of attacking quality was on display in the opening game of the 2026/27 campaign as they only created 0.66 xG in their 2-1 loss to newly-promoted Ipswich Town on Saturday. Whilst Nilson Angulo got off the mark with…

Tottenham have officially agreed a deal with Manchester City for Omar Marmoush, according to Fabrizio Romano. After lengthy negotiations over the past fortnight, Spurs have finally made a breakthrough and the Egyptian international will travel to north London on Monday to undergo his medical. While the former Eintracht Frankfurt star might have been part of Enzo Maresca’s squad for Sunday’s dramatic 2-1 victory at home against Bournemouth, Marmoush has been given permission to travel down to the capital. The Italian transfer guru reported that Marmoush’s switch will be an initial loan move that will become mandatory under certain conditions. Already…

At the post-fight press conference, the new champion dismissed the possibility of a second meeting. Lopez instead wants the winner of Ryan Garcia versus Conor Benn before pursuing fights with WBC champion Devin Haney and IBF champion Liam Paro. Romero believes the scoring denied him a victory after he cut Lopez and hurt him several times. “I never get a fair shake, and it’s apparent. I clearly outboxed him. I cut him. I hurt him multiple times. It’s clear as day, I deserve a rematch. Honestly, that decision was self-explanatory,” Romero said in comments shared by The Ring. The physical…
