The backline and midfield unit have been bolstered significantly this summer at Tottenham Hotspur, but who’s going to be the man to lead the charge through the middle? Roberto De Zerbi’s current centre-forward options leave a lot to be desired, with Dominic Solanke scoring just 12 Premier League goals in the last two seasons, while Richarlison has chipped in with just 27 since arriving in 2022. Considering that the pair joined for a combined fee north of £120m, that simply isn’t up to par, ensuring that Spurs have to get it right with regard to the next striker signing in…

This absence from the historical record is a curious silence, given that for over fifty years – from 1886 to 1940 – his was the most prestigious and authoritative voice in the New South Wales press. While the stars he anointed as heroes have their names etched in bronze, Davis, one of the…

The fight took place on the undercard of Mike Tinley vs. Ray Ray Gray, with veteran referee Frank Cappuccino assigned to the contest. Tyson weighed approximately 215 pounds, while the taller Alderson entered at around 226 pounds. The size advantage made little difference once Tyson closed the distance. Tyson immediately took the center of the ring and stalked Alderson behind his trademark bob-and-weave movement. Alderson worked behind his jab from long range, but Tyson slipped inside repeatedly and landed compact left hooks and right hands to the head. Tyson landed several hard left hands during the opening round, bloodying Alderson’s…
