Looking back at previous camps, Itauma revealed one sparring partner arrived with more than preparation on his mind. “For the Dillian Whyte fight I had Mariusz Wach in [camp],” Itauma said to DAZN. “He didn’t even ask how much I was going to pay him;…

Bob Arum has highlighted one of Terence Crawford’s greatest attributes, questioning whether Jaron Ennis would have the wizardry to overcome it. Despite hanging up his gloves in December, ‘Bud’ has been repeatedly mentioned as a potential opponent for Ennis, who comes off a career-best victory over Xander Zayas. The 29-year-old was considered a clear favourite heading into their showdown last weekend, yet it was nonetheless an awe-inspiring performance as he scored three knockdowns en route to a seventh-round stoppage victory. As a result, ‘Boots’ became a two-division unified champion by claiming the WBO and WBA super-welterweight titles, dethroning one of…

Happy Sunday everyone. Let’s start with some Arsenal news today, because there actually is some involving the likely departure of Leandro Trossard. Over the years, we have heard many, many transfer rumours from Turkey, and I think it’s fair to say the hit rate on them has been low. Negligible even. So, when the Belgian was linked with a move there, I could see how it might have some logic to it, but I wasn’t expecting anything concrete to develop. Then, in the Athletic yesterday (£), James reported a €20m agreement between Arsenal and Besiktas, with the deal set to…
As Tyson Fury prepares for what is expected to be one of the final chapters of his boxing career, veteran journalist Gareth A.

While discussing Fury’s future, Davies suggested the 36-year-old should avoid the sport’s next generation of contenders. “He’s coming up to probably his last couple of fights now in his career and being honest about…
