Brentford have handed a new six-year contract to impressive full-back Michael Kayode, with an option to extend that deal by a further 12 months.

Kayode, who has been capped up to under-21 level by Italy, appeared in all but one of Brentford’s Premier League games last…

“He’s got to get into a big fight soon,” Algieri said on Inside Boxing. “He’s got to unify.” Canobbio echoed that sentiment, arguing Carrington’s resume still lacks the signature victory expected of a world champion. “It’s starting to get a little stale,” Canobbio said. “When is he going to fight someone?

Timothy Bradley believes one man, who defeated a “monster” in his last fight, has earned the right to challenge Oleksandr Usyk. The Ukrainian announced last week that he has vacated his WBC, IBF and WBA titles, while maintaining his status as the lineal heavyweight champion. Usyk earned this privilege by outpointing Tyson Fury in 2024 and, until he retires or loses a contest, no other man can truly claim to be the top dog at heavyweight. Even Usyk himself has admitted that the end is near, though, with the 39-year-old having insisted that he will be having just one more…
