“I was in there to take my time, and hopefully a shot showed up,” Teremoana said after the bout. “Just being more patient, throwing more feints and trying to find cleaner shots.” A right hand late in the first shook Savage before Teremoana finished him in the second. “I knew if I landed a shot on him, he’s going to go down,” Teremoana said. “It kind of annoyed me he didn’t get back up, but that’s the game.” Hearn shared the concern about another short night, saying Teremoana needs opponents capable of taking him five or six rounds. “I’m happy…
The Indian Ocean lapsing into liquid sighs and roaring waves is entwined with Galle’s topography. This coastal town with a colonial past, is leafy and charming. In this Sri Lankan amalgam of fine aesthetics and overwhelming history, India is seeking a fresh path in Tests.The two-Test series commencing with the first one here from Saturday, offers Shubman Gill’s men a rope to pull themselves up from the pit they sunk into in cricket’s longest format. India the dominant in ODIs and T20Is, despite the recent blip in England, is also India the inconsistent in Tests, especially after losing in its…

Top Rank has promoted only two shows on DAZN since announcing its new broadcast agreement five months ago, but several of its fighters have stayed active on cards run by other promoters. That offers an early look at how Top Rank can operate within a platform already carrying much of boxing’s promotional talent. Darshan Desai of Uncrowned highlighted the unusual arrangement Wednesday while examining DAZN’s schedule. Raymond Muratalla fought Robson Conceição on a Golden Boy card earlier this month, Top Rank fighters Albert Gonzalez and Samuel Contreras competed on a Matchroom show in July, and Giovani Santillan takes another route…
Great Britain’s Angharad Evans won her first European Championship gold in the 100m breaststroke final in Paris.The 23-year-old comfortably finished first in a championship record time of one minute and 4.87 seconds, which was also a lifetime best and British record.Having also broken the championship record in the semi-final, Evans claimed gold ahead of Ireland’s Mona McSharry in second, while Italy’s Benedetta Pilato took bronze.Great Britain’s Filip Nowacki, who made history for Jersey by claiming gold in the 200m breaststroke at the Commonwealth Games last month in Glasgow, was the fastest qualifier in the semi-final of the same event at…
( Joshua Hedges (UFC Enterprise)) The Nevada State Athletic Commission has denied Edwin De Los Santos’ appeal for a change of decision to his second-round knockout loss to Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela in the June 28 main event of a Zuffa Boxing card in Las Vegas.

But in its response to the appeal from De Los Santos manager Adrian Clark, the commission’s Executive Director Jeff Mullen cited state rules…
This series, the first in charge for new head coach Gary Wilson, ostensibly marked the start of Ireland’s preparations for February’s World Cup qualifiers.Their first fixtures in the format since May 2025 were always likely to display some 50-over rust but to have already lost the series without coming within a sniff of a victory will hardly raise hopes of making next year’s tournament for the first time since 2015.While Saturday’s conclusion of the home summer still offers an opportunity to salvage something from the series, at present Wilson is left looking at more measured positives.In taking the two most…
Roberto De Zerbi believes Sandro Tonali can become the face of Tottenham’s rebuild despite only joining from Newcastle United this summer.
