It felt like 2025 was the year when Manchester United finally got it right again in the recruitment department, even after suffering their worst-ever Premier League finish under Ruben Amorim. At their lowest ebb, the Red Devils showcased that they remain an attractive destination regardless, having first welcomed in Matheus Cunha on a £62.5m deal.

Throw Senne Lammens into the mix, and it was a case of job…

Roy Jones Jr believes Gervonta Davis would need to take significant risks to have any chance at defeating American rival Shakur Stevenson.

In order for their matchup to finally materialise, though, Davis would need to return to action after having not fought since March 2025. Back then, ‘Tank’ retained his WBA lightweight title with a controversial draw against Lamont Roach, who many felt was unfortunate not to emerge victorious.
