Mike Perez will take on Aloys Junior in an intriguing cruiserweight clash on the London O2 undercard of Moses Itauma-Filip Hrgovic on August 29.The Cuban veteran has long been on a journey to fulfil his undoubted potential but now, aged 40 and 32-3-1 (22 KOs), one wonders how much time the southpaw has left with which to do so.In Junior – real name Aloys Youmbi – he meets a Londoner who is also on a mission. Still only 23 years old, he seemed on the road to nowhere when he lost his debut in 2021 but he’s won 11 since,…
The Open Championship has, so often down the years, been as much a battle with the elements as it has the swing for the world’s top golfers.Recent Royal Birkdale Opens have been no different. When the Southport venue last staged the game’s oldest championship in 2017, play was briefly suspended during the second round because of heavy wind and rain. In 2008, at the end of a week largely dominated by horrendous weather, Padraig Harrington prevailed with a winning score of three over par, four shots clear of Ian Poulter.This week, however, it is shaping up to be a much…

“That’s the sickest [thing] I ever heard,” Shakur said when asked about the criticism. Even if you watch my last fight, I was coming forward. Teofimo was the one that was on the back foot. Why was he backing up?” said Shakur on the 4th and 1 podcast. Shakur compared his fights to a lopsided basketball game. “You know what’s boring? When you watch a basketball game, and somebody go up 30 or 40 points, you don’t even want to watch the game no more,” said Stevenson. “You’ll cut it off and keep it moving. I feel like that’s my…

To add to that are 21 of the 26 players in the Three Lions squad – a tally that includes Anthony Gordon, who featured for Newcastle last season but has since joined Barcelona, but excludes Marcus…
Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi enter the World Cup semi-finals with eight goals each. Mbappé currently holds first place under the assists tiebreaker, but both players are guaranteed two more matches because the losing semi-finalists will contest the third-place play-off.

England have two challengers on six, Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, while France’s Ousmane Dembélé remains involved with five. Erling Haaland scored seven for Norway, but his tournament ended in the quarter-finals. The Golden Boot standings before…
Derek Chisora has weighed in on the Joe Joyce retirement debate after seeing his countryman “quit” in round 11 of his clash with Artem Suslenkov. The two heavyweights squared off in Moscow, Russia, last weekend, featuring on the undercard of Murat Gassiev’s successful WBA title defence against Peter Kadiru. Put simply, it was seen as something of a crossroads fight, between a grizzled veteran and an unbeaten, 30-year-old fringe contender. But while Suslenkov had remained unproven at any significant level, Joyce was coming off back-to-back points defeats to Chisora and Filip Hrgovic. Even before those two setbacks, many were calling…
