After seeing Anthony Joshua suffer two knockdowns against Kristian Prenga, Oleksandr Usyk has delivered a knockout prediction for the Brit’s expected clash with Tyson Fury. Their long-awaited heavyweight showdown is set to finally materialise later this year, with both former two-time world champions having completed their respective warm-up fights.

But while Joshua, too, was seemingly facing a low-risk opponent on Saturday evening, the 36-year-old came remarkably close to suffering a first-round stoppage defeat in Jeddah,…

There was a sense beforehand that Ward could contend here. A bronze maybe. Perhaps even a silver depending how things go. His team-mates privately made noises that, should everything fall in his favour, gold could be within reach. They had seen him in training, and performed alongside him in the team event on Friday, where Scotland finished fourth. They knew he was in a good place.Ward sat seventh after the floor exercise, but streaked into the lead after a splendid performance on the pommel – routinely his strongest event. He retained that advantage after the rings – by which point…
It’s funny how fast things can change in football, isn’t it? A week ago, Arsenal had just learnt that their number one target, Morgan Rogers, was signing for Chelsea instead. The Blues agreed a whopping £117m deal to sign the Englishman, a fee that the Gunners were simply not willing to match. They had their own valuation of the player. Panic among supporters has set in since, even if they did announce the signing of Christos Tzolis in midweek. He looks a handy addition but they need more. How does Vinicius Junior sound? The news broke on Saturday afternoon that…
