‘Our club has lost its way” – The Foxes Trust react on owner King Power putting League One side Leicester City up for sale. Earlier this week, The Athletic reported that a brochure had been sent out to potential buyers of the club detailing the assets on offer, including Belgian club OH Leuven. An anonymous source told The Athletic that the Srivaddhanaprabha family, are seeking for $300m (£222m) , although looks as though it will be closer to $200m (£148m) following Leicester’s relegation to the third tier, plus heavy losses of late. A brochure detailing the sale of Leicester City…
Hearn wants to accelerate the 28-year-old’s development with two fights this year and four or five more before putting him in with a world heavyweight champion. “I would like to have two fights this year, definitely. And, you know, going into 2027, saying the back end of that year we want to fight for the World Heavyweight Championship,” Hearn said after the fight. “But he needs another four or five fights before he’s in those kind of fights. And he needs someone that can take him five or six rounds.” Fitting that schedule together requires Teremoana to remain active. A…
Messi was absent for Miami’s 2-1 loss to Monterrey in the Leagues Cup on Saturday but made himself available to coach Guillermo Hoyos for the must-win game against Mexican side Leon. It is the first time Miami have been knocked out in the opening phase of the competition since the Leagues Cup was expanded in 2023 – the year Messi arrived and they lifted the trophy. Jorge was Messi’s agent since he was 14, watching him become one of the sport’s greatest ever players and at his side when he captained his country to World Cup glory in 2022. Argentina…
Bangladesh savoured its first taste of test cricket in Australia in 23 years on Thursday as it skittled the world’s top-ranked side for less than 200 and moved to stumps in command at 96 for one on the first day of the series-opener in Darwin.Hasan Mahmud was the standout performer on a famous day for Bangladesh pace bowling, taking 6-55 at the Marrara Oval to rout Pat Cummins’s team for 198, its lowest innings total in seven tests against the South Asian side.Barring Steve Smith, who top-scored with 71, it was a poor batting display by Australia, with under-pressure opener…
Morning all. Pre-season continued (concluded?) last night with a 1-1 draw with Como. Myles Lewis-Skelly scored Arsenal’s goal before we conceded an equaliser just before the break, and there were some interesting bits and pieces from the game – although it doesn’t merit a full breakdown. I really liked Ethan Nwaneri’s performance, Marli Salmon looked very good despite his young age, although I do think 16 is probably just a bit too young for us to be able to lean on him a full squad member for the upcoming season. Clearly there’s a player of real potential there, I’d just…
La Liga: Gameweek 1 Preview – Where the Numbers Point Spanish football is back, and the opening weekend provides the first opportunity to test where last season’s numbers might point us towards an early betting edge. But these initial fixtures always require a degree of caution. New managers, promoted teams, tactical changes and summer transfers mean we’re dealing with sides that may look very different from those that produced last season’s data. But that doesn’t make the numbers irrelevant—quite the opposite. They can help identify where performances may have been more sustainable than the results suggested, where significant overperformance could…
That missing detail didn’t stop Bradley from piecing things together. “Why take a Devin Haney fight, you know, for that amount of money and then, you know, take a L, possibly take a L? Now you lose your negotiating tool because now you lost,” Bradley said on his channel. Bradley’s theory is that Keyshawn has more to gain by protecting his bargaining position if substantially more money may become available elsewhere. He pointed to Richardson Hitchins pulling out of his Oscar Duarte fight on fight day as another example of a fighter passing on a dangerous matchup with Zuffa offering…

For someone who routinely sails through the air, her feet are firmly on the ground.She says she is not driven by medals. Improving as a gymnast is her biggest motivation.But asked if she’s targeting gold at the LA 2028 Olympics, she smiles.”Maybe,” she adds. “If I’m good.”For individual success at an Olympics, she will need to showcase two vaults with different entries on to the vault.So that is her current focus in training.”Maybe if I get a second vault, I’d have quite a good chance,” she added.”But it’s in gear two. It needs to get to gear five.”At the Europeans,…
