Olivier Pantaloni has set out his desire to help Nice return to their former glory after being announced as the club’s new head coach. Pantaloni returns to Nice where he spent three years of his playing career in their youth set-up, and replaces Claude Puel in the dugout ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. The 59-year-old joins a Nice side who retained their Ligue 1 status by the skin of their teeth last season, after they won a relegation play-off against Saint-Etienne. He was last in charge of Lorient, where he spent two years at the helm, with Pantaloni guiding them to…
The lightweight title was unified on Sunday night, and the people who watched the actual fight saw something the bookmakers had quietly refused to price in. Ilia Topuria walked to the Octagon as a 1.14 favourite. Justin Gaethje stood across from him at roughly 4.5. Eighty-five percent of the implied probability sat with the undefeated Spaniard. NPR’s coverage of the event lays out the full backdrop, including the political weight a UFC card carried on the South Lawn for the first time. Four rounds after the opening bell, Topuria’s corner was waving him off the stool with a likely broken…
The Mexican military has reportedly intercepted and brought down an unregistered drone seen flying over South Korea’s training base before their World Cup match with co-hosts Mexico on Friday. South Korea are preparing for the Group A game at their training base in Guadalajara, Mexico, where the drone was spotted during Tuesday’s training session – which prompted fears of spying. Manager Hong Myung-bo said at a news conference: “It did not impact us significantly, but while we were preparing for the match, that was the most important timing, so what happened was unfortunate.”The intervention was part of a security operation…
Jude Bellingham has said the external “noise” around his place in the England team may help him find his best form during the World Cup.One of the main talking points around selection before England’s first group game against Croatia was whether boss Thomas Tuchel would select Real Madrid’s Bellingham or Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers in the number 10 role behind captain Harry Kane.Bellingham was chosen to start in Dallas and scored England’s crucial third goal just after half-time, with Marcus Rashford adding a fourth late on to complete a 4-2 win.”For me personally, it was nice to put some of…

If the fight ultimately lands in the United States, one of the biggest questions will be how promoters plan to market a bout that has long been viewed as a British superfight. Fury and Joshua would have little trouble filling a stadium in the UK, but generating the same level of interest among American sports fans presents a different challenge. That topic was discussed this week by veteran boxing journalist Gareth Davies, who believes Dana White could play a major role if the event is staged in Las Vegas. “I think Turkey Alalshikh will put Dana White at the head…
In a separate interview with BBC Sport, the Bayern Munich striker added: “The boss said at half-time to up the tempo, go man for man and completely take the game to them, and that is exactly what happened.”You saw us at our best level, both with and without the ball and we could have scored three or four goals in that 20-minute spell in the second half.”We did what we needed to do and finished the game off nicely at the end.”Asked what he said to his team at half-time, Tuchel told ITV: “Even if we lose, it will not…
Terence Crawford dethroned Canelo Alvarez in September 2025 via unanimous decision. Canelo has now lost three times in his career, coming up short against only elite fighters; Floyd Mayweather, Dmitry Bivol and Crawford. The four-division world champion from Mexico has never been stopped or even knocked down during his 68-fight career. Against Crawford, Canelo suffered his first super-middleweight defeat, despite Crawford moving up significantly for the opportunity to claim Alvarez’s undisputed crown and become the first three-weight undisputed champion since Henry Armstrong in 1938. It was a comprehensive win, but, again, Alvarez did not look hurt, despite the 31 KOs…
