Noskova has long been seen as a future star who could challenge for Grand Slam titles, having become the youngest player inside the top 100 in 2022.It has taken the 21-year-old a little time to find consistency at the Slams, but this fortnight she has shown she has a game which relies on pure power.When you stand next to Linda, she is actually taller than you would expect from seeing her on television, as she stands at 5ft 10in.She has a massive serve and a really heavy ball, which comes from the natural power through her long levers.She can also…
“I am very motivated to fight in Hermosillo, my hometown for the last 15 years,” Berchelt told The Ring. “I want to show all my fans that there is more ‘Alacran’ Berchelt for many years.” Berchelt (42-3, 37 KOs) enjoyed one of the sport’s strongest runs at 130 pounds after stopping Francisco “Bandido” Vargas in the 11th round to capture the WBC title in January 2017. He followed that victory with six successful title defenses, defeating former champion Takashi Miura and stopping Vargas in their rematch, Miguel Roman, and Jason Sosa during his reign. His momentum came to a halt…
Alongside the development of artificial pitches, Grottland cited a “revolution” in the period 2010-2020, “where Norwegian football, the top clubs, the federations and the districts started to invest heavily in player development”.After failing to qualify for Euro 2012, the Norwegian Football Federation established Landslagsskolen, known as the NTS, in 2013.Of the 15 players who played in Norway’s 2-1 victory over Brazil, 14 had represented the national team at youth level and 11 of those were part of the NTS pathway from under-15 or under-16s.Grottland clarified the NTS was not an academy nor a centralised school, such as the famed Clairefontaine…
Lamine Yamal believes France should be more worried than Spain ahead of their titanic World Cup semi-final tussle. La Roja booked their place in the last four with a 2-1 victory over Belgium in Los Angeles, with Mikel Merino coming off the bench to score the decisive goal again. Spain have reached the semi-finals of the World Cup for only the second time after 2010, when they went on to win the tournament in South Africa. They have also set the outright longest unbeaten run in their history, now avoiding defeat in each of their last 36 matches since a…
Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis put in a performance of the year candidate to become a unified super-welterweight world champion last month. Now, the Philadelphian is being linked to a host of major fights in the 154lb division, but promoter Eddie Hearn believes that there is one clear frontrunner. Ennis dethroned Xander Zayas in style, halting the Puerto Rican inside six rounds to capture the WBA and WBO super-welterweight marbles and announce himself as the man to beat in the super-welterweight scene. Since then, Ennis has been mentioned for meetings with WBC world champion, Sebastian Fundora, and long-term rival, Vergil Ortiz Jnr…

Bowe looked slow, struggled to close the distance, and absorbed clean shots while searching for a single power punch that could change the fight. Golota’s dominance was interrupted only by his repeated fouls. Referee Wayne Kelly warned Golota several times after low blows in the second round…
