The Times reported that Marco Silva had rejected the offer of a new £7million contract to remain at Fulham beyond this summer. Instead, the 48 year old has agreed a three-year deal to succeed…

Discussing what should come next, Mora argued that Benavidez is the fight that makes the most sense. “Benavidez, the Mexican Monster. We hear how David Benavidez talks about sparring Bivol. You could see the hunger. You could see the anticipation. And you could see the eagerness to be great,” said Mora on Chris Mannix’s channel. “David Benavidez wants to steal those Cinco de Mayo dates, the September 16th Mexican Independence Day. He wants to fight Canelo. Canelo will never fight him. He wants to chase Bivol. He wants to chase every single fighter that refuses to face each other. The…

Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we convene a few days after Arsenal lost the Champions League final to PSG in Budapest. So much has happened since then, that’s it’s hard to really keep track, but we go chronologically through the trips to Hungary, the atmosphere in the city among other Arsenal fans, and lots more before we get to the game itself. Kai Havertz’s early goal had a big impact on the game, not simply by virtue of putting us ahead, but how it influenced the game…

The two pound-for-pound legends are reportedly set to square off in Las Vegas, colliding in a professional rematch that is now slated for September 26. Originally, it was proposed that they would lock horns at the Sphere, Las Vegas, on September 19, only for handlers of the Netflix event to go with a different date and venue. But despite the uncertainty, it does appear that both fighters have agreed to…

Sugar Ray Leonard says even members of his own team underestimated Thomas Hearns before their 1989 rematch, despite his belief that Hearns would be far more dangerous than many expected. Leonard and Hearns met for a second time at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas eight years after their first classic encounter. While the bout ended in a split draw, many fans and observers felt Hearns had done enough to earn the decision. Looking back on the fight, Leonard recalled warnings from his camp that Hearns was no longer the same fighter. “Everybody said Tommy was shot, even my camp said…
