Fury and Joshua are expected to meet later this year, although no venue has been selected. Alalshikh has expressed interest in bringing the all-British heavyweight fight to England but said the timing must also suit viewers in the United States and other major markets. Jordan argues the location will ultimately be chosen based on where the financial loss can be reduced. “Turki has run many fights without the commercial value behind them,” Jordan said on talkSPORT. “So the idea that he needs to monetize this fight, whatever it is costing him to be able to put this fight on, he’s…

Just four months later, Bivol returned the favour and scored a majority-decision win of his own to avenge his solitary career defeat, putting an end to Beterbiev’s undefeated record and claiming the undisputed title for himself. A third meeting has been mooted ever since,…
The main call here is to leave out Ezri Konsa, which I am not sure Thomas Tuchel will do. But if ever there was a match where the experience of John Stones is required, then this is it. Of course if Reece James is still considered not yet ready to start then Konsa would play again at right-back.The other big decision is to start Morgan Rogers on the right, which is a position he has played with Aston Villa. I am not sure England have had enough from either Noni Madueke or Bukayo Saka in the wide right position. And…
