It’s been 12 months of pure frustration, with several star players swapping Tyneside for rival clubs and endless rejection arriving in pursuit of the replacements for those players. However, there is still time for the Magpies to turn things around, and what better way to do that than by getting one over on arch-rivals Sunderland. Those at St James’ Park have momentarily turned their focus away from midfield additions and towards Toulouse left-back Dayann Methalie.

“Boots going to do all the work for him. Boots is going to set himself up,” Bradley said on his channel. “All that lunging and [expletive] that he does. See, I’m telling y’all, man. See, when you’re fighting Crawford, you got to be patient.” Bradley may have identified a weakness in Ennis, but his prediction treats Crawford like the fighter who dismantled Errol Spence Jr. three years ago.

Itauma recently gave his thoughts on several heavyweights he has been watching, naming Leo Atang, Adam Olayinka, and Teremoana Teremoana.
