The former unified heavyweight champion says Joshua must pressure Fury from the opening bell instead of letting him control the fight’s rhythm. Andy Ruiz Jr. believes Anthony Joshua should attack Tyson Fury rather than box cautiously if the British heavyweights finally meet later this year. Ruiz says allowing Fury to dictate the distance and tempo would play directly into the former WBC champion’s strengths. “It’s going to be a good fight. I’m going to tell you the truth. If Tyson Fury gets in Joshua’s head, he boxes around, moves around, throw his combinations, maybe it could affect Anthony Joshua,” said…

(Mark Robinson/Matchroom Boxing) One of the sparring partners of Kristian Prenga is picking the upset over Anthony Joshua on Saturday in Saudi Arabia. Lakeland, Florida’s Brandon Moore, whose lone loss in 20 professional bouts came to Richard Torrez in 2024, has been putting the Albanian underdog through his paces ahead of the potentially life-changing affair with the heavily favored Joshua. Joshua, 29-4 (26 KOs), has fought and won at a level so beyond Prenga’s that the notion of the Englishman losing is almost preposterous. But he’s lost before, of course. The first time came in June 2019 against Andy Ruiz…

Foden, City’s most decorated player alongside John Stones and Bernardo Silva, has played his entire City career under Guardiola, who ended his decorated 10-year stint at the club in May.Foden set a high bar with his performances the year after City’s Treble-winning season, registering a career-high 27 goals and 12 assists. The subsequent two seasons have been less productive, with Foden’s function in the City side changing.Last season, the pacier options of Jeremy Doku and Antoine Semenyo fed striker Erling Haaland from out wide, with Rayan Cherki often preferred as the playmaker in an attacking midfield role.That meant Foden occasionally…

Southampton issue a statement with their boss Tonda Eckert being charged by FA over the spygate scandal with a breach of Rule E3.1.
