George Russell won the sprint race at the Canadian Grand Prix but only after his championship battle with Kimi Antonelli reached an angry flashpoint. The Mercedes pair clashed for the lead on track and the teenage Italian was left demanding the British driver should be penalised.Such was the febrile atmosphere that their team principal Toto Wolff intervened, telling Antonelli to “stop the radio moaning”.The incident cost Mercedes a likely one-two, given the pair had been comfortably leading, with Antonelli finishing third behind the McLaren of Lando Norris. Russell has closed the gap to his championship-leading teammate to 18 points.Russell and…

(Mark Robinson/Matchroom Boxing) With just one second remaining in the 11th round, Oleksandr Usyk prevented going down in history on the wrong end of one of sport’s all-time great upsets. Astonishingly, in front of the Pyramids of Giza, he had quite possibly fallen catastrophically behind on the cards against Dutch kickboxing legend Rico Verhoeven, outmuscled, outworked and often outpunched before he uncorked a right uppercut that changed the trajectory of the fight. What followed was controversial. Verhoeven lost his mouthpiece and was given time for it to be replaced. When Usyk steamed in to finish the job, and as he…
The French Tennis Federation (FFT) has promised to make concrete proposals about increased prize money, player welfare and representation within the next month in talks with leading agents at the French Open.The discussions took place on Friday, the same day many players, including the world No 1s, Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, collectively decided to limit their pre-tournament media briefings to 15 minutes in protest at what they regard as insufficient prize money paid by the four grand slams.The players chose to conduct only their mandatory duties, a press conference and an interview with the host broadcaster, rather than the…
Those owners, Neville and Beckham, have transformed the club’s fortunes since an initial takeover with fellow former Manchester United ‘Class of 92’ members Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Phil Neville, in 2014.Neville and Beckham have since taken control of the club, yet the impact of the rest of the group still remains with the other four still involved in other roles.”People don’t see, for instance, playing Colchester away last season and Ryan’s baby was due on the Saturday or Sunday morning. But Ryan got this car and drove all the way up because he’s on the bench for…
George Russell took pole position for the Canadian Grand Prix to set up a fascinating battle with his Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli who was in second in Montreal, after the pair endured a feisty flashpoint having clashed with one another on track in the sprint race that preceded qualifying.Russell put in an inch-perfect lap of the circuit Gilles Villeneuve, as the very last of the cars on track to steal it in what was a gripping session, ultimately beating his teammate by just six-hundredths of a second to ensure Mercedes maintain their unbeaten record of five poles from five races…
The official punch stats were also close with the 1-1 (1 KO) Verhoeven landing 113 to Usyk’s 112. All of the stats, then, point to those watching who were convinced that the Dutch challenger, 1-1 (1 KO), was on the brink of a stunning victory might have been influenced by the element of surprise; Verhoeven, after all, was doing astronomically better than anyone predicted against Usyk, 25-0 (16 KOs).
