Dana White’s explanation for Oscar De La Hoya missing Ryan Garcia’s fight has already taken a hit. Golden Boy claims De La Hoya and other members of its staff were denied credentials for Saturday night’s event at T-Mobile Arena. Dan Rafael relayed Golden Boy’s account on X. The company also said Ryan had invited De La Hoya and Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. to accompany him during his ring walk before changing his plans Saturday morning. Marco Antonio Barrera and Rey Mysterio received those places instead. That ring-walk switch and the credential dispute are separate issues. Ryan choosing Barrera and Mysterio…
Ryan Garcia expected Conor Benn to charge forward and test his willingness to fight under pressure. What he did not encounter was the punching power that had been used to sell Benn as a serious threat at welterweight. “I’m going to tell the truth here. No, I did not feel his power,” Garcia said during Saturday night’s post-fight press conference. Benn (25-2) had rehydrated to 178.4 pounds with his clothes on roughly 10 hours after making 146 for the WBC title fight. That number caused plenty of alarm before the opening bell, but the added bulk never became a weapon…
Proving that timing is all, not least in making a statement, Lando Norris kept his very best to last for a moment that must be considered close to Formula One perfection. His pole position at the sport’s newest circuit, the Madring, for the Spanish Grand Prix was so immense it left him shocked. Not least in that he had not threatened the top of the timesheets at any point over the weekend until the final lap of the final session, and then he was masterly.On a circuit that has proved punishingly unforgiving with some major crashes, keeping it clean was…
(Zuffa Boxing) Conor Benn followed the most humbling defeat of his 25-2 (14 KOs) career with a precautionary trip to hospital. The 29-year-old, after a salty build-up focused on his struggle to make weight, was outclassed and stopped in two rounds by WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia. The finish was instigated by a ferocious right hand that floored Benn heavily. The follow-up assault convinced the referee to rescue Benn as he attempted to find shelter on the ropes. The shellacking followed a week of speculation and conjecture regarding Benn’s weight. He ultimately came in at 146lbs at Friday’s weigh-in, his…

Earlier in the evening, a moment’s silence was held before Monday’s first anniversary of the death of Ricky Hatton, the Manchester fighter who famously brought tens of thousands of British fans to Las Vegas during his career.Benn’s travelling support was far more modest, with only pockets of British fans visible among the 18,855 crowd at T-Mobile Arena.Benn, dressed in black with a Union Jack carried behind him, was greeted by a wall of boos as he made his way towards the ring alongside his father Nigel, who enjoyed one of his most famous victories in Las Vegas when he stopped…
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur called on her side’s struggling middle-order to back their strengths ahead of the Women’s Asia Cup 2026 against Sri Lanka on Sunday. Shafali Verma (168 runs) and Smriti Mandhana (154 runs) have done a bulk of the team’s scoring, with Harmanpreet the next-highest run-scorer behind them on 57 runs.“We know we have such a good batting line-up, and I think when you have such a good batting line-up, it is only about whoever is doing well on that day,” Harmanpreet said at the pre-match press conference ahead of the final.“That person should take responsibility and finish the…
Mikel Arteta expresses concerns over a penalty incident and Bruno Guimaraes silences Sunderland fans after helping Arsenal to victory. It took just two minutes for the former Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes to put one past Sunderland, before David Raya saved an Enzo Le Fee penalty and then Bukayo Saka made it 2-0 from the penalty spot on the 97th minute. The result sees Arsenal top of the Premier League table with 12 points from 4 games, while Sunderland are 14th with 4 points from 4 games. Mikel Arteta receives a yellow card for stepping out of the technical area 😅…
Jack Catterall has no intention of quietly surrendering his WBA welterweight position so Teofimo Lopez can chase a richer fight with Ryan Garcia. “Not going anywhere, not stepping aside,” Catterall posted on X while tagging Teofimo, WBA president Gilberto Mendoza, the sanctioning body and DAZN. That message arrived after Ryan stopped Conor Benn in the second round Saturday night and called Teofimo into the ring. Security prevented Teofimo from climbing through the ropes for a face-off, but the scene still created instant interest in matching the WBC and WBA champions. Catterall now wants to spoil the party. The English southpaw…
Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video Arsenal made it six wins from six so far this season with a hard-fought win over Sunderland last night. Mikel Arteta changed his team back from the one that beat Napoli, with returns for Riccardo Calafiori, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Christos Tzolis and Kai Havertz, and while Sunderland were harder to break down than the Italians in midweek, we still had first half opportunities. A superb Declan Rice pass found Bukayo Saka’s excellent run, but he failed to make good contact with the ball to either knock it past the keeper or…
