Super bantamweight Joe McGrail (14-0, 7 KOs) stopped Matthew Boreland (7-1) with a left hook to the body in the fifth round of a 10-round scheduled bout. The win earned McGrail the vacant WBA Continental Gold title. Boreland fought competitively from the opening bell and began building momentum as the rounds progressed. McGrail remained composed, worked to the body, and found the decisive opening late in the fifth. His sharp left hook dropped Boreland, who remained down for the referee’s full count. The stoppage gave the 23-year-old Liverpool southpaw his seventh knockout and handed Boreland his first professional defeat. Paddy…

Its been smooth sailing for the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side, having won both its games but problems that need immediate rectifying still persist. Its middle order, which underfired at the T20 World Cup, has been pretty middling at the Asia Cup as well, to say the least. Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma have been doing a fine job at the top of the order, doing the heavy lifting, but excluding the openers, the rest of the batters have failed to make a noteworthy impression.Against Thailand, Shafali smashed 64 off 36 balls before India collapsed from 108/2 to 137/9.Against Thailand, Smriti led the way…
Newcastle fought back to claim a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth despite a lacklustre performance. The Magpies produced their worst 45 minutes of football since Matthias Jaissle’s arrival in the first half at a sunny St James’ Park, as the visitors were first to every challenge and every loose ball. Marcus Tavernier epitomised that enthusiasm when he was quickest to react to Alex Scott’s deflected strike and poke home the opener, and it wasn’t long before Malick Thiaw’s own goal doubled the deficit, again following a lapse in concentration at the back and quick thinking from Scott. Harvey Barnes’ stunning strike…

The result gives Mielnicki the credible victory his record needed. Much of his earlier opposition allowed him to develop without revealing where he belonged among the better middleweights. Williams was supposed to provide that answer, and Mielnicki made the fight surprisingly one-sided. Williams kept advancing, but simply following a taller fighter is not effective pressure. He came forward without consistent head movement and repeatedly gave Mielnicki a stationary target for the jab, right hand, and uppercut. The uppercuts were especially damaging. Williams continued lowering his head as he entered, and Mielnicki met him with the same punch throughout the fight.…
“For sure. Anybody that y’all ask me, if somebody gives y’all a list and y’all ask me who I think is easy work, I’m going to say easy work every single time because I believe in myself,” Ennis said to TNT Sports. “Can’t nobody in this game do what I do. I feel like I’m the best.” That answer was predictable. He could hardly stand beside Crawford and concede that the former undisputed champion would beat him. Crawford was more interested in testing the confidence behind the words. Crawford Wants More Than Josh Kelly Questioning the punishment Ennis has taken,…
(Mark Robinson/Matchroom Boxing) DUBLIN, Ireland — Paddy Donovan is not sitting on his mandatory shot at the IBF welterweight belt. The Irishman will risk his title shot this Saturday against the experienced Tyrone McKenna at Dublin’s Croke Park. The current owner of the IBF strap is Liam Paro, who claimed the title from Lewis Crocker back in June. Donovan was watching eagerly, hoping for Crocker to come through so they could compete in a trilogy for the title. Crocker defeated Donovan twice, on both occasions somewhat controversially. “Yes, obviously the big fight was Lewis Crocker for the third time,” Donovan…

They wrapped up a deal quickly, and Arsenal ultimately ended the summer without…
Mike Dean responds via social media after receiving backlash over his secret games while refereeing matches revelation. The former Premier League referee appeared on the latest episode of Jamie Vardy’s podcast, admitting he used to play secret mini-games while on the pitch. Mike Dean said: “There used to be games that we used to have “We used to say, ‘Right, we’ll kick off now, right? See how long we can go without blowing a whistle.’ A few times, let it go, let it go, let it go. “I’ve done that a few times in the Premier League, before VAR obviously.…
