Katie Taylor is preparing for a stern test from Flora Pili rather than a Croke Park testimonial on Saturday night as she seeks to sign off on her career in style.Over 54 years will have passed since Muhammad Ali headlined the last boxing event at the home of the Gaelic Athletic Association.Just as ‘The Greatest’ blazed a trail in a career that transcended sport, Taylor has done likewise.Elevating women’s boxing to heights never experienced or perhaps expected, the 40-year-old will make her final walk in front of 80,000 fans with the opportunity to become undisputed champion at light-welterweight once again.It…

After selling Beto to Fiorentina in the closing stages of the window, Everton believed they’d done good business. It looked like Folarin Balogun was destined to arrive and no one would have denied just how much the American would have been an upgrade on his predecessor. In classic deadline day fashion, however, Balogun has since sent the Toffees back to square one after failing his medical. Those in Merseyside have now got a matter of hours to find an alternative or face the risk of handing David Moyes a blunted frontline. REUTERS/Blake Dahlin Matters have been made worse by the…

“OFFICIAL RESOLUTION: The WBO grants Oscar Collazo’s request as he pursues history as a two-division World Champion,” the organization posted on X. The concession is mostly ceremonial. Collazo will vacate his WBO mini-flyweight title following the contest, regardless of the result. The organization will sanction an interim title bout between leading contenders to keep the 105-pound division active. Allowing Collazo to carry the belt into the ring gives the DAZN co-feature a champion-versus-champion presentation without leaving his old division stalled for months. The WBO cited his loyalty, active reign, title record, and attempt to jump directly from 105 to 112…

Borussia Dortmund have signed Ethan Nwaneri on loan from Arsenal, while Bayer Leverkusen have signed Guela Doue. Nwaneri has joined Dortmund for the duration of the season, with BVB in need of a new winger after Giannis Konstantelias sustained a serious injury in their opening-day win over Hamburg. The 19-year-old spent part of last term out on loan at Marseille. He has made 37 appearances for Arsenal, including 26 in the Premier League. Dortmund’s Bundesliga rivals Leverkusen, meanwhile, have also been active, securing the signing of highly rated full-back Doue from Strasbourg.

The important development is not Yoenli becoming the mandatory challenger. WBO president Gustavo Olivieri publicly confirmed that status on August 23, stating that Bentley would receive one voluntary defense before facing the Cuban. Yoenli’s appeal changes that arrangement. The WBO now intends to send Bentley directly into the mandatory defense because the obligation dates back to Janibek’s reign. Vacating the championship and elevating Bentley did not erase it. That distinction was lost in BoxingScene’s headline, which presents Hernandez’s mandatory position as something new. The exclusive portion is that his appeal appears to have eliminated the voluntary defense previously promised to Bentley.…

(Mark Robinson / Goldstar Promotions) Conor Benn is being backed to repeat the heroics of Filip Hrgovic by Keith Connelly, who manages them both. Benn tackles WBC welterweight boss Ryan Garcia on September 12 in Las Vegas, a fight which will come exactly a fortnight after Hrgovic stunned Moses Itauma in London to win the vacant IBF heavyweight strap. Hrgovic was bloodied and bruised by the rapier fists of Itauma and was losing widely on all three scorecards going into the ninth. But the young Briton alarmingly faded and, when clearly exhausted, was rescued by the referee. Hrgovic is 34…

Usyk is almost perfectly equipped to deepen that hesitation. His lateral movement keeps him away from the straight center line Wilder needs for his power shot. The southpaw jab, constant feints, and changes of direction would force Wilder to restart his attack repeatedly. Parker and Zhang made him reluctant to throw. Usyk may reduce him to following, watching, and losing rounds without mounting a sustained attack. An X poster named PA98 raised the question Usyk’s supporters rarely want to answer: “Why can’t he fight the up-and-comers and pass the torch in the ring like the greats of the past did?…
