(Mark Robinson/Matchroom Boxing) Japanese southpaw Mizuki Hiruta retained her WBO super-flyweight title with a resounding victory over Mai Soliman. Scores were 99-91, and 98-92 (twice). Southpaw Hiruta was busier and sharper throughout and was urged by Manny Robles in her corner to keep moving to her right while looking for the straight left. Soliman had some moments in the eighth, firing right hands down the barrel, but Hiruta held and moved and saw out the round. Soliman couldn’t fathom the champion’s variety or volume and by the end her face had become lumpy and swollen and her left eye closed.…
Aryna Sabalenka insisted the player push for a greater financial contribution from the grand slams is primarily focused on improving the welfare of lower-ranked players as the world’s elite advanced with their eve-of-tournament protest at Roland Garros.“I feel like the whole point here, it’s not about me,” Sabalenka said. “It’s about the players who are lower in the ranking, who are suffering. It’s not easy to live in this tennis world with that percentage that we are earning.“As the world No 1, I feel like I have to stand up and to fight for those players, for lower-level players, for…

Statman Dave: “You are looking at Bournemouth, Liverpool, Spurs and West Ham players as ones that you want to bring in. They are the four teams who have something to play for. If you want to throw in a Morgan Gibbs-White, that is a great gamble. “The priority would be Virgil van Dijk, Dominik Szoboszlai or Junior Kroupi, who has three goals in his past four starts.”One of the most transferred in players this week is Jarrod Bowen. He has eight goals and 10 assists this season – a combined tally of 18 that accounts for around 42% of West…
Torrez had been the favorite heading into the fight and he started fast, using his southpaw left hand to back Sanchez up but the Tulare, California, heavyweight ran into a crunching right uppercut 55 seconds into the second round and his night was over.
Daniil Medvedev sighed deeply. He had been asked in his pre-French Open press conference to provide some of the intel he gleaned from his spectacular last battle, yet for once he did not have much to say.

It was the best level any player had shown against Jannik Sinner, the current undisputed No 1, since the Australian Open in January. He still…
