Dana White ripped the UFC production team after they mistakenly identified boxing star Shakur Stevenson during Saturday night’s UFC 329 broadcast, saying the company continues to struggle with celebrity recognition despite having produced events for more than two decades. While discussing the overall production during his post-fight press conference, White praised the show’s presentation before abruptly shifting to one mistake that clearly irritated him. “I tell you all the time, my production team, we just did the White House. We built a fing arena on the South Lawn of the White House, and it was the greatest fing thing in…

Derek Chisora’s defeat to Deontay Wilder was expected to confirm his retirement, but ‘Del Boy’ is still yet to formally confirm that his career has come to an end. Now, the 42-year-old could be on the verge of a world title shot – an opportunity which would undoubtedly convince him to remain in the sport. Chisora had planned to walk away from boxing following his fiftieth bout, against Wilder back in April, but a split-decision defeat to ‘The Bronze Bomber’ appeared to leave him wanting more, with a potential rematch against the American tempting him to continue in the fight…

Dana White insisted he already knows where the long-awaited heavyweight showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will take place but repeatedly refused to reveal the location during Saturday night’s UFC 329 post-fight press conference. The Zuffa Boxing head was asked several times about the status of the blockbuster fight after recent comments from Turki Alalshikh indicated that a final decision on the venue had not yet been made. Instead of providing details, White offered only a brief response. “Yeah, as soon as… Listen, if I was ready to go with it, I’d tell you. Again, in Bournemouth, I said…
Against the Boks, Scotland had more territory, more carries, more metres gained. They had 17 clean breaks to South Africa’s four, beat 47 defenders where South Africa beat only 19. The Boks missed 47 tackles and still won off 38% territory.We don’t get to see inside the soul of rugby players on days like that, which is probably just as well. The pain of contributing so much and yet feeling so lousy at the end of it must be acute.Scotland have never beaten South Africa in South Africa. Before Saturday, it was a dozen years since they last had a…

After a poor run of form towards the end of the 2025-26 Premier League season cost them a place in Europe, Everton have set out to strengthen their squad this summer. Hayden Hackney was the first arrival, with the central midfielder arriving from Middlesbrough after his boyhood club lost the Championship play-off final against Hull City. Since then, the Toffees have also managed to bring in Tyrique George, with the winger seemingly impressing David Moyes during a loan spell at the Hill Dickinson Stadium last season. David Moyes’ side have been very active in the early stages of the summer…
