Gervonta Davis has weighed in on the 160lb clash between Errol Spence Jr and Tim Tszyu this weekend. The two former world champions will square off at Sydney’s Afterpay Arena, Australia, where it was originally agreed that they would collide at a catchweight of 158lbs. In a late turn of events, Spence requested an additional 2lbs – which was subsequently granted – as he returns to action for the first time in three years. Yet despite his last outing resulting in a ninth-round stoppage defeat to Terence Crawford, the 36-year-old has been made a slight favourite against Tszyu. This is…

As that great Kerry team’s powers began to fade by the end of the decade, Mayo would find a new nemesis as after defeat by Donegal in 2012, Dublin would account for them in the 2013 decider, again in 2016 after a replay that was largely down to two first-half own goals in the drawn game, while Dean Rock would break their hearts with a winning free at the death in the 2017 final.However, Kerry and Mayo would serve up some incredible semi-final drama in the 2010s as after Kieran O’Leary salvaged a draw for Kerry at Croke Park, the…
Morning all. It’s very quiet, so I’m not sure how much there is to round-up in a quick Saturday round-up. Let’s start with a story from Sam Dean who writes: Arsenal are not in a position to throw around cash with reckless abandon, however much Arteta might want them to.

I think there might be other reasons why Chelsea and Man City throw money around the way they do, and when you look at the amount of…

Yet, Texas’ former three-belt welterweight champion Spence, 28-1 (22 KOs), has had three years to regenerate from his July 2023 beatdown at the hands of five-division champion Terence Crawford.And like Spence’s addition of a new…

Tonga consists of more than 170 islands and is located in the South Pacific.It is about 2,600 miles from Melbourne, Australia, and its population of 105,000 could almost squeeze into the stands of the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground.The islands are home to a national netball team who have nailed down a top 10 world ranking for the past four years, but it took a meteoric rise to reach this position.Sisifa and head coach Jaqua Pori-Makea-Simpson have travelled thousands of miles to recruit players, securing their star shooter thanks to a persuasive grandma.They still face challenges, with their pathway side -…
