Eddie Hearn has added to his promotional stable by signing one of Anthony Joshua‘s former conquerors. Hearn has backed Joshua throughout his entire professional career, guiding the Brit from his debut all the way to unified world heavyweight champion. There have been some bumps in the road along the way, notably when Joshua lost his heavyweight crown in an upset defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr in June 2019. Fans had high hopes for Ruiz following the win, but it didn’t transpire that way as he lost his belts in the immediate rematch to Joshua, and he has only competed three…
For most of us, freshers’ week at university takes at least another week on top of that – or two – to recover from. But Tammy Beaumont had little time to dwell on a hazy blur of tiredness or the overwhelming excitement at new-found freedom, as she went straight from Loughborough to her England debut in the Caribbean. Beaumont, now 35 and having just announced her retirement from international cricket after this week’s Test against India, refers to her debut as a whirlwind.

Former two-division world champion Tim Bradley believes Devin Haney has run out of alternatives and should stop looking for ways around a mandatory title defense against Keyshawn Davis. Bradley reacted to Oscar De La Hoya’s latest update that Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn are now in active discussions for a fight, saying that development leaves Haney with only one realistic path if he wants to keep his WBO welterweight title. “Now your only option is Keyshawn Davis. That’s your only option. Who it gonna be? Who else do you got?” said Bradley on his channel. Haney had been linked to…

He managed just six appearances, all of which came in Ligue 1 and amounted to just 115 minutes, while he did not feature in the Champions League, being left out of their squad for the knockout stages. Scuro admitted earlier this year that the signing of Pogba had…
Holding the fight in London already gives British fans the home-field advantage. By pushing for a later start, organizers are also attempting to preserve a prime-time broadcast in the United States, where the audience and potential revenue are significantly larger than they would be for an afternoon telecast. London Mayor Sadiq Khan has voiced his support for staging the fight in the capital, but Turki has indicated he has been told a 1 a.m. start is currently not possible because of the stadium’s curfew. Discussions are expected to continue as organizers try to reach an agreement. If Wembley cannot accommodate…
