“You cannot run around talking about legacy and how Canelo ducked you, and there’s a fight available with a killer at 75 in Beterbiev and an excellent young fighter in Opetaia at 200 pounds and you’re the one if it’s true, by the way, I’d love to hear Benavidez’s side of the story,” Kellerman said on Inside the Ring. “We’ve had David Benavidez on the show and the Mexican Monster, we would love to have you back because we’re all big fans, but I would love to hear Benavidez come here maybe say as soon as next week and explain…
Going back to that game in New Jersey last week, Aston Villa captain and Tartan Army sweetheart John McGinn was the one to start on the bench.He was also left out completely for the win against Curacao at Hampden.McGinn not playing would seem incredible given his contribution in a Scotland jersey.Across his 86 caps he’s got 20 goals – fifth on the all-time list – and 10 assists. Just as crucially, he is in the form of his life having just led Villa to the Europa League trophy.But there may be a reluctance to tinker too much with a midfield…

Sales are especially important as they look to keep liquid ahead…
Roy Jones Jr has named his price, demanding an eight-figure purse if he is to step back through the ropes. In his prime, the American became one of the finest fighters to ever grace the sport, his blistering speed and overall athleticism making him seem almost unbeatable. After claiming world titles at middleweight, super-middleweight and light-heavyweight, Jones even stepped up to heavyweight and dethroned John Ruiz for the WBA strap in 2003. The pound-for-pound legend then retired in 2018, when many felt he was well past his best, only to enter an exhibition match with Mike Tyson in 2020. While…

“If Turki calls me and says, ‘Listen, we got an opportunity to do it here. What do you think?’ I’d say, ‘Look, rather do it in the UK, but let me talk to Anthony. We’ll look at the numbers and we’ll go from there,’” Hearn said to Fight Hub TV. “I wouldn’t rule out anywhere for this fight taking place, but I think it’s more than likely you’ll see it in the UK.” Those remarks could prove significant given the scale of the event. Unlike recent blockbuster bouts that have largely revolved around a single marquee attraction, Joshua vs. Fury…
As a person, Christian is someone who at first you might say is kind of a bit timid, but when you get to know him well, he really opens up.He is a very caring guy, who looks out for people, but he’s also someone who I’ve always had a really good laugh with. We hit it off straight away.It was the same on the pitch. Straightaway, I loved playing with him at Chelsea. We had a great understanding and our games complimented each other so well.I played as a target man and I needed some pace and movement around me…
Morning all, a quick Saturday round-up for you. We’ll start with Arsenal stuff because my World Cup consumption yesterday was zero. I can’t find it now, but I saw a story linking Leandro Trossard with a move to Besiktas, which sounds like a a very early summer piece of transfer tittle-tattle.

That said, I do think one of the areas of focus this summer will be the left hand side, and so it was interesting…
