Teofimo Lopez was a lineal champion at 135 and 140, as he looks to add another belt to his collection. Lopez had been on a 6-in-a-row winning streak before getting outclassed by Shakur Stevenson. As the old saying goes, styles make fights, so we should see Teofimo have a lot more success in this outing. Teofimo will once again have his father in the corner as the main voice on fight night. Much of the boxing public believes Teofimo should make a change. To be fair, it may not matter as much given this matchup. Lopez made a remark about…

The biggest talking point ahead of this year’s Duleep Trophy isn’t a batter who scored close to 950 runs in the Ranji Trophy or a fast bowler who picked 60 wickets over the last two domestic seasons.It’s, instead, a 15-year-old vice-captain.The East Zone selectors’ decision to appoint Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as deputy to Ishan Kishan has dominated the build-up to the tournament.Not because the teenager isn’t good enough. In fact, few youngsters have captured the imagination quite like the Bihar batter has over the last year. If the selectors see him as a long-term India player, there is every reason to…

Amanda Serrano secured the 50th victory of her career on Friday night, but Lucrecia Anabella Manzur forced her to work through 12 competitive rounds before she escaped with a majority decision. Serrano (50-4-1, 32 KOs) retained her WBA, WBO, and Ring featherweight titles by scores of 116-112, 116-112, and 114-114. The champion deserved a narrow win, although the two four-point cards did not reflect how close the fight was. Manzur (14-5, 7 KOs) refused to perform like an opponent brought in for Serrano’s milestone night. The Argentine pressed forward, stayed in punching range, and continued answering when Serrano tried to…

Tottenham have launched a late push to transform Roberto De Zerbi’s attack before the summer transfer window closes. Much of Spurs’ earlier business concentrated on strengthening other areas of the squad.

Tottenham have spent the last fortnight exploring several ambitious moves, with Man City pair Savinho and Omar Marmoush closing in on moves to north London. Spurs have already agreed a deal worth up…

Emiliano Vargas says he is prepared to challenge Shakur Stevenson, although his climb to the WBO’s No. 1 position has come without a victory over a world-level light welterweight. The 22-year-old son of former 154-pound world champion Fernando Vargas stopped Bryce Mills in four rounds in June. Before that, he defeated Agustin Ezequiel Quintana, Jonathan Montrel, Alexander Espinoza, Juan Leon, and Giovannie Gonzalez. Those victories allowed Vargas to collect three regional belts. None of the opponents established him as the leading challenger to Shakur. “I’m a fighter. I’d want to fight him tomorrow. But at the end of the day,…

Frank Lampard believes Coventry City’s defeat to Premier League champions Arsenal will prove a valuable learning opportunity as they adapt to playing at the top level. Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard scored as the Gunners started their title defence with a routine 3-0 win over Lampard’s newly promoted side on Friday. Coventry’s only real opportunities were an overhead effort from Loum Tchaouna, which landed on the roof of the net, and a tame Jack Rudoni header that was saved by David Raya late on. Last season’s Championship title-winners only had one shot on target and put up 0.28…
