During his postfight press conference, Lopez said: “September 12th, right? So, you got Ryan Garcia versus Conor Benn. That’s the next one. We’ll see what happens there. If Conor wins, it’s a great fight to take across the pond. I think I’d rather wait for Devin at the end. So, it’ll either be Liam Paro next or the winner out of Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn.” Describing his remaining three fights with DAZN as a “road to undisputed,” Lopez rejected the idea of taking an ordinary title defense. His choices make financial sense. Garcia, Benn and Haney offer far more…

Not the best start for Pierre Sage, whose Crystal Palace tenure begins with defeat, the Eagles beaten 2-0 by Everton at the Hill Dickinson to kick off their Premier League campaign. Oliver Glasner (who lost his Nottingham Forest debut against Leeds United) will be sorely missed, even if Palace kick on and impress under Sage’s wing this season. This is a transitional period for the south London club, and there is much to address before the summer transfer window slams shut in over a week. It could have been so different. Everton survived a scare only minutes into the match,…

During his post-fight press conference, Lopez said: “I got three fights with DAZN, and all of them are the road to undisputed. We’re going right to every world title. We’re not taking no title defense, no nothing. Whoever’s next, we’re going for him.” A unification technically includes a defense of the belts involved, but Lopez’s meaning was clear. He does not plan to face an ordinary mandatory or ranked challenger between attempts to collect the other titles. If that plan proceeds, it will consume well over a year. Each fight requires negotiations between promoters, networks and boxing organizations before the…

Ruben Amorim believes his AC Milan “need to win” against Torino in their opening Serie A game to make a strong start to their project. The Rossoneri missed out on a top-four finish last season, leading to Massimiliano Allegri’s departure and Amorim’s arrival. This is the Portuguese coach’s first role since he was sacked as Manchester United head coach in January, with a trip to Turin first up on the schedule. Amorim could become the first foreign manager to win his opening Serie A match in charge of Milan since Leonardo in August 2009, also away from home against Siena…

(Cris Esqueda/Premier Boxing Champions) LAS VEGAS – Unbeaten Carlos Utria opened the pay-per-view portion of Saturday night’s Rolly Romero-Teofimo Lopez card with a jeered split-decision victory over Israel Mercado. Judges Chris Migliore (96-94) and Patricia Morse Jarman (97-93) scored the 140lbs bout for Utria while Steve Weisfeld had it 96-94 for Mercado. “You won!” a fan inside T-Mobile Arena roared at Mercado, 13-2-2, as the booed Utria improved to 15-0. Colombia’s Utria, 22, won the WBC Grand Prix 140lbs final in Saudi Arabia, but the veteran Mercado, the WBA’s No. 10-ranked contender, expressed no concerns in pre-fight interviews that he…

Bobby Kamwa celebrates in front of fans of his former club Newport County in what played out to be an eight goal thriller at Bristol Rovers. A bonkers game of football, with the Severnside derby boiling over in part, and it could have been a bigger scoreline than the 5-3 it ended in Rovers’ favour. Steve Evans’ side bounced back from opening day defeat against York with a second half fightback entertaining the home fans at the Memorial Stadium. It was however Newport who went ahead with just 15 seconds on the clock, Harrison Biggins calmly netting, both sides had…

Hearn revealed in a post-fight interview Saturday night that the UK clause was included at Joshua’s request. He also claimed people have contacted the former heavyweight champion directly in an attempt to change his mind. “He’s under pressure because people are phoning him around the back. ‘Come on.’ And he said, ‘No, no, speak to Eddie.’ It’s like, ‘No, I want the fight in Britain. Guys, I’ve got to tell you, that’s what I signed for. That’s what I want.’ And he’s standing firm,” said Hearn to talkSPORT Boxing. Standing firm only works if Sela eventually gives in. Should the…

Marco Romero needed less than three minutes to show why he was one of the best young talents on Saturday night’s preliminary card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The 20-year-old middleweight overwhelmed Kahlil Mitchell and forced a stoppage at 2:33 of the opening round. Romero attacked with speed, power and little wasted movement, leaving Mitchell trapped behind his gloves before the referee stepped between them. Mitchell never had an opportunity to settle into the scheduled eight-round fight. Romero closed the distance quickly, landed clean punches and continued firing combinations once he had his opponent near the ropes. The pressure…
