A few soft opponents will not cause supporters to abandon Itauma. The real difficulty is finding fighters who can extend him without beating him. To support his warning, Fury used his own career as the example Itauma should have followed. “I did it the traditional route, and it’s done like that for a reason,” Fury said. “I was 27 years old when I fought Wladimir Klitschko; I was a 10-1 underdog [but] I was ready. If I’d have fought him at 21, I’d have got knocked out, too.” There is some truth in that. Fury spent years fighting domestic and…
Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal can perform at an even higher level than last season after their perfect start to their Premier League title defence continued on Sunday. Arteta watched on as his team beat London rivals Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium, with Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard on target in the Gunners’ comeback victory. Morgan Rogers had volleyed Chelsea into the lead after just 77 seconds, which was the earliest goal Arsenal had conceded in the Premier League since August 2023. Riccardo Calafiori then had a goal ruled out, but Arsenal got their equaliser in the 25th minute when Havertz…

Wigan fan groups raise concerns and call for change as the club go bottom of League One, with 4 defeats from their opening five games. It was a big win for Stockport, finding themselves three up inside 20 minutes away at Wigan, and that’s how the scoreline remained for the rest of the game. Just after Jason Adigun had struck the post, the ball taking a deflection along the way, Ryan Glover then got the Hatters’ fourth on 90 minutes. SHORTENED HIGHLIGHTS: EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS: Wigan’s Gary Caldwell said to Latics TV: “A massively disappointing game. A massively disappointing afternoon following…
The years have not been kind to Andy Ruiz Jr. (35-3-1, 22 KOs), but age alone did not produce the sluggish, confused heavyweight who lost to Damian Knyba (18-1, 11 KOs) on Friday night. This was the end product of sitting on his backside, spending his millions, rarely fighting, and treating his career like something he could restart whenever the mood returned. Ruiz had been out for 25 months following his draw with Jarrell Miller. He returned at 36 expecting his old hand speed and combination punching to reappear on command, but boxing does not work that way. His feet…
For all that they could not enjoy a win for Ferrari, the tifosi at the Italian Grand Prix were treated to a moment that will live long in the memory. Their homegrown hero Kimi Antonelli produced an exceptional, extraordinary victory from 19th on the grid, definitively marking his arrival as a potential great of Formula One and putting him within reach of his first F1 championship.The 20-year-old Italian, in only his second season in F1, gave a performance of a seasoned veteran. Antonelli has proved repeatedly this season that he has verve and skill vying at the front with abandon…
He lacks Wladimir’s speed, timing, defense, and destructive power, but the basic construction is similar. That familiarity should benefit Joshua, who spent years studying Wladimir, training alongside him, and eventually fighting him at Wembley in 2017. Facing Knyba would not reproduce Fury’s movement, feints, stance changes, or ability to invent his way through a difficult fight. It would give Joshua experience against another towering heavyweight who knows how to keep the action at long range and smother opponents once they get inside. The matchup becomes more appealing because Knyba is not harmless. His power is respectable enough to test the…
Lewis Hamilton has conceded the Formula One world championship this year is all but out of reach after a bruising Italian Grand Prix. Hamilton’s afternoon included a clash with his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc, which he thought was the result of the team’s failure to listen to his entreaties to manage their drivers and execute races better.The race at Monza was won by Kimi Antonelli after a remarkable comeback by the Mercedes driver from 19th on the grid. Hamilton could manage only sixth. Having been 59 points back he now trails Antonelli by 76 with 10 meetings remaining and he…
Manchester United are expected to retain their interest in Newcastle United left-back Lewis Hall despite failing to secure a deal during the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider. The report claims that United identified the left-back position as an area they wanted to strengthen, with manager Michael Carrick keen to add further quality to his defensive options. Hall emerged as a leading target after impressing with his performances for Newcastle, but the Magpies made it clear that the England youngster was not for sale. As a result, United opted against signing a new left-back before the transfer deadline and…
