Non league club Sunderland West End fume after a vote sees them refused entry into the 11th tier despite initial acceptance. Two months ago, after careful consideration, they resigned from the Northern League Division Two (10th tier), as they faced a challenging time. On the 28th of July, they announced that they would have been welcomed to play in the Wearside League, taking the place of Silksworth who recently folded. But a week later, after confirming their fellow league opponents, their fixture list, management, and begun training, a short time to prepare for the new season, they have been dealt…
Haney’s plans changed dramatically over the past several days. Shakur Stevenson publicly ended hopes of their matchup, removing the biggest fight available. Shortly afterward, mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis declined the WBO-ordered title fight, leaving Haney free to pursue a different direction. The Australian southpaw captured the IBF title in June. Fighting Paro gives Haney a chance to collect a second welterweight belt rather than defend against a lower-ranked contender. It also pairs him with a reigning champion coming off the biggest victory of his career in a matchup with genuine unification stakes. The business case is strong for both sides.…

Recent links with Vinicius Junior have led many- both Arsenal fans and fans of other clubs- to question whether a manager like Mikel Arteta could tolerate a ‘maverick’ like Vinicius. In one sense, it is a reasonable question. Early in his reign, Arteta essentially ‘took on’ Mesut Ozil. Freddie Ljungberg and Unai Emery had cause to do the same before him. Emery was too paralysed by indecision (he couldn’t even name a first team captain without Hamleting it to kingdom come), Ljungberg didn’t really have the authority as an interim, though he did drop Ozil for petulantly booting his chewing…
Conor Benn challenges for world honours for the first time in his career when he faces WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia next month, and former undisputed super-lightweight ruler Josh Taylor has revealed his prediction for the fight. Benn has not fought as a welterweight since April 2022, but ‘The Destroyer’ was controversially named as the WBC’s mandatory challenger in the 147lb division when he announced his intention to return to the weight at the beginning of the year. As a result, when Garcia dethroned Mario Barrios, it seemed inevitable that Garcia-Benn would be next. Although, the Brit instead decided to…

Despite making big signings such as James…
Jack Catterall finally reached the world championship tier in May. Less than three months later, his career sits in a holding pattern. The English southpaw captured the vacant WBA Regular welterweight title with a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Shakhram Giyasov in Saudi Arabia, putting himself in line for the biggest fight of his career. Instead of moving directly into another major bout, Catterall now has little choice but to wait for the outcome of Rolando “Rolly” Romero’s August 22 defense against Teofimo Lopez. The WBA ordered Catterall to face the winner within 180 days of his victory over Giyasov,…

The club has been looking for more investment since long-serving owner Sir Dicky Evans’ near three-decade association with the club ended in January 2025. Cornish Pirates’ ownership is now a mix of their United States-based investors and a group of shareholders based closer to home. “That’s an enabling investment to take us to the stage after this,” added Pettipher.”So it’s important, but it’s not a lottery win, I would say.”We have a 10-year development plan. If I can make it faster I will, but the 10-year development plan is a series of investments that gets us to be a top…
