Nottingham Forest have confirmed the appointment of Oliver Glasner as their new head coach, with owner Evangelos Marinakis backing the Austrian to get the club competing for major honours.

Pereira led Forest to a 16th-place Premier League finish and the semi-finals of the Europa League, where they lost…
“I want to unify, man. It’s time to start getting this featherweight division rolling,” said Carrington. “I really want to get ready and start fighting the best in the business. That’s whoever the champions are in the featherweight division.” Carrington’s comments were notable because he declined to single out any of the other titleholders, leaving open the possibility of facing any of the division’s champions. While Carrington got the victory, it was far from a dominant first defense. In the eighth round, Palacios sent him to the canvas with a right hand that Carrington immediately claimed was a rabbit punch.…

The 21-year-old already has a fight lined up against Filip Hrgovic, but could soon become one of the youngest heavyweight champions in history. This achievement would put him in the same breath as Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali and Floyd Patterson, but first Itauma must come through his assignment on August 29. Taking on the most significant challenge of his career, the unbeaten prodigy will face Hrgovic at London’s O2 Arena in his third Queensberry main event. With Oleksandr Usyk having vacated…

Ali entered the bout unbeaten at 26-0 with 21 knockouts and was making the seventh defense of the heavyweight championship he had won from Sonny Liston in 1964. At just 24 years old, he had already defeated Liston twice, Floyd Patterson twice, Henry Cooper and European champion Karl Mildenberger. His confidence and unique “stick-and-move” style had made him a 5-to-1 favorite. Williams, meanwhile, brought a formidable record of 69-5-1 with 55 knockouts. Long considered one of boxing’s most dangerous punchers, the 33-year-old had overcome extraordinary adversity simply to receive his first world title opportunity. Two years earlier, he had been…

Morning. I suspect there’ll be a few tired readers this morning who still have to go about their Monday duties despite staying up late to watch England last night. I was not one of those, choosing to get some sleep and catch up on things when I woke up, and the World Cup continues for Thomas Tuchel’s side and the Arsenal lads involved after a 3-2 win at the Azteca. Bukayo Saka started the game and provided an assist for Jude Bellingham to open the scoring, and the Real Madrid man put England 2-0 up with another goal straight from…
