Arsenal had one of the deepest squads last season, which carried them to the Premier League title and Champions League final. It looks like that summer transfer window didn’t change that, until the same names began to appear twice. Eberechi Eze covers the left wing and Martin Ødegaard. Noni Madueke covers Bukayo Saka and Christos Tzolis. Max Dowman can play on the right or as a No. 10, although he is still only 16. Mikel Merino remains the emergency striker if two forwards who didn’t leave the club this summer are unavailable. That is the real result of Arsenal’s summer…
“I won’t be doing 154. No way,” Benn stated to The Ring. “This was always going to be my last fight at 147. It’s for the WBC world title. I wanted a world title shot at 147, at the weight I started my career. I sidetracked for the Eubank fight, but all roads have led back to this.” Bypassing 154 permits Benn to hunt vulnerable belt holders at middleweight. IBF titleholder Aaron McKenna and WBO titleholder Denzel Bentley offer convenient options capable of generating revenue across Britain or Ireland. Neither man resembles an authentic world champion when you examine their…
“Weirdly, not as hard as I thought. I think that again also played into how things played out because I took a few shots coming in and I thought, ‘Okay, they’re not the most fun, but they’re also not the most concerning either.’ I thought, ‘I’m all right here, actually. I’m okay.’ That combined with the knockdown, I just got overzealous,” Wardley told Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions. Wardley’s explanation reveals the trap in judging heavyweight power by the first few punches. Dubois did not need to hurt him with every connection. His steady accumulation gradually reduced Wardley’s resistance after the…

Southend United head coach boss Kieron Dyer gets challenged to get as many Michael Jackson songs in his press conference. He and his players decided to mix things up for a good cause, turning what can be a rather boring presser into something fun. After achieving this secret mission, with journalists and reporters failing to spot it, or question him on it, the money will be donated to a charity. As heard in a video, he ended the press conference by saying: “That’s great, thank you very much. Did you, sorry, just to tell you, I was challenged by the…
Former Pakistan coach Jason Gillespie said Friday chairman of selectors Aaqib Javed needs to “look at himself in the mirror” with the national team “playing with fear”.In a shock move, Pakistan this week replaced head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and pace-bowling chief Umar Gul, and sent seven players home from England, in a dramatic response to successive Test thrashings.Australia’s Gillespie, who led the side for eight months in 2024, including a 2-1 Test series win against England, said it was sad to see.“I feel for the players; this is these guys’ livelihoods,” he told The Australian newspaper. “From the outside it…
Morning all. Let’s start today with a goodbye, after Gabriel Martinelli’s move to Al Hilal was confirmed yesterday. The fee, a record €70m, means he becomes our most expensive sale ever, although I’m quite sure that’s one he probably never dreamed of having under his name – particularly to a club in the Saudi Arabian league. He arrived from the Brazilian fourth division aged 18, and was initially earmarked for an Academy role and progression. Very quickly though, Arsenal realised what they had, and he made his Premier League debut in August, coming on as a sub in a 1-0…
Taylor has never hidden her disdain for the circus of fight-week theatre, preferring the sanctuary of the gym.But this week she has welled up under the glare of the cameras and stayed a fraction longer during face-offs to absorb the magnitude of the moment.”Every fighter in the world wishes they were in this position,” she says.”I’m just blown away from the support from this country. I don’t think there are many other countries where 80,000 show up for a female athlete.”The crowd – hearing ‘ole ole ole’ one last time – feeling the atmosphere, seeing the tricolours all over the…
Richarlison wanted a fresh start away from Tottenham this summer, and his omission from their Premier League squad suggests he’s getting it. The Brazilian was missing from Thursday’s submission after a proposed return to Everton broke down. REUTERS/Matthew Childs Roberto De Zerbi had already made the situation public, revealing after the Newcastle defeat that Richarlison had repeatedly told him he wanted to leave. The head coach also made clear that any departure would have to bring Tottenham an acceptable financial return. Everton had offered a possible route out, with talks taking place alongside Tottenham’s pursuit of Iliman Ndiaye. Neither move…
“You wouldn’t have fought me if you didn’t get all of these concessions,” Williams said during Thursday’s final press conference, streamed by Matchroom Boxing. “Let’s not act like you’re like me, where it’s anybody, anytime. I’m about to take your city over using you. They’re going to call me the Brick City champ after what I do to you.” Mielnicki admitted Williams provides vital credibility. The 24-year-old fighter sits high in sanctioning body rankings, yet his past foes never tested him against the upper-echelon strength Williams possesses. “I know that I need a guy like him on my record to…
