Oleksandr Usyk has shared his thoughts on former rival Tyson Fury‘s recent victory over Mariusz Wach. Usyk famously had two battles with Fury during 2024, winning the first one in May of that year by split decision to become undisputed heavyweight champion, before following that up with a win in their rematch by unanimous decision seven months later. That sent Fury into retirement, but ‘The Gypsy King’ returned in April with a one-sided points win over Arslanbek Makhmudov, which was expected to then set up a long-awaited clash with Anthony Joshua later this year. With Joshua having a warm-up bout…

Around 10,000 fans attended the outdoor championship card. Promoters had hoped for a considerably larger crowd, but those in attendance witnessed one of the division’s most memorable upsets. The contest quickly developed into the kind of brutal fight both men welcomed. Zivic had built his reputation on roughhouse tactics that included thumbing, elbows, holding, and head clashes. Cochrane refused to be intimidated, matching the champion’s physical style while focusing much of his attack on the body with hard left hooks. One of the bout’s most controversial moments came after Cochrane complained that Zivic repeatedly thumbed him in the eye. The…
Greece’s decision to tap into their sizeable Australian diaspora – in excess of 400,000 people in the country have Greek ancestry – will inevitably draw some comparisons with Italy.The Azzurri participated in their maiden T20 World Cup earlier this year having come through sub-regional qualifying. None of Italy’s squad at that tournament were born in the country, and they picked five Aussie-Italians including two sets of brothers – the Manentis and Moscas.Senior figures involved with the Greek federation, though, have told BBC Sport they will exercise a degree of caution over the ongoing integration of Australian players with Greek heritage…

Over in north London, it is safe to say that both Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal could do with improving their forward line. While the Gunners won the Premier League last season, much to the distaste of those at Spurs, Roberto De Zerbi’s side were instead celebrating merely staying in the division come the final day of the campaign. Supporters jumped for joy inside of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but really, it was a sign of relief. Truthfully, on their way to winning the title, Arsenal struggled, notably relying on 19 corners to score goals from, a new Premier League record.…
O’Connor said she had never competed in rain as heavy as the downpour that hit Glasgow on Tuesday evening, and admitted she struggled with the elements in the shot put.”It just kept slipping out of my hands and when your chalk gets wet, you might as well have dish soap on your hands,” world silver medallist O’Connor told BBC Sport.”I’m gutted with it to be honest and when I talk about it, I feel a bit emotional because I’ve made it a lot easier for the rest of them to beat me, so I’ve got to work really hard now.”But…
