I’m waiting.” Haney fired back by pointing to what he has already accomplished in boxing despite the criticism. “If it only takes u so far.. I came pretty damn far. Very few can say they did what I did so far at my age.” The response comes as Haney continues to face debate over his style. While he became the undisputed lightweight champion and has held world titles…

Leclerc now looked locked in for victory, but there was great doubt over second place.Hamilton, who earlier had a five-second penalty for moving before the lights went out at the start, was 20 seconds back from his team-mate, but Verstappen was closing in and Russell was going with the Dutchman, having dropped back with a pit stop on lap 34 forced by a slow puncture.But on lap 48, Verstappen spun off at Stowe, his radio message in which he swore about the car suggesting it was a mistake from the driver created by difficult handling.That brought out the safety car,…
“I like Roberto Duran,” Joshua said when asked by DAZN to name his favorite fighter to watch. That version of Joshua gradually disappeared. His memorable war with Wladimir Klitschko in 2017 exposed both his strengths and vulnerabilities, but the biggest turning point came two years later when Andy Ruiz Jr. knocked him out in one of heavyweight boxing’s biggest upsets. Joshua returned six months later with a completely different approach, circling the ring behind his jab, limiting exchanges and tying up opponents whenever they closed the distance. The transformation made him resemble the later version of Klitschko far more than…

Luis de la Fuente believes Spain have the best midfield in the world, saying their current unit is “almost on the same level” as the one that won the World Cup in 2010. Spain are preparing to face Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal in a monumental round-of-16 tie in Dallas on Monday, after easing past Austria by a 3-0 scoreline in the last 32. The teams have met five times previously at major tournaments (World Cup/Euros) with three of those meetings ending level (one win each).
