West Bromwich Albion’s business in the summer transfer window may not be done yet as they look for further additions before tonight’s deadline. Unlike several Championship teams, the Baggies do not have the distraction of having a competitive match this evening, which means that James Morrison can focus on bringing players to the club. One area of the pitch that they could look to strengthen in is the forward line after Morrison’s side were beaten 3-1 by Middlesbrough in their latest clash. Why West Brom need an upgrade on Barney Stewart Jimmy Jay Morgan and Aune Heggebo made a near-perfect…

That simple post has generated plenty of interaction because everyone gets to play matchmaker. It keeps Itauma in the conversation while giving fans a voice in how Queensberry should handle his return. Quick Knockouts Hid The Weaknesses Whoever comes next must serve a purpose. Matching Itauma with another heavyweight who collapses under his opening attack would do nothing to correct what Hrgovic exposed. Itauma’s string of early knockouts built excitement but denied him the live rounds needed to develop punch economy. He attacked Hrgovic as though every combination had to end the fight, throwing power shots at full speed instead…
(Top Rank) Andy Ruiz Jnr, seven years removed from shocking then-unbeaten Anthony Joshua, is heading into Thursday’s make-or-break battle with Damian Knyba with a new lust for life. The 36-year-old, who would lose the immediate rematch to Joshua and has only fought three times since, has often been criticised for poor discipline. During his latest period of inactivity – he last fought in August 2024 when he drew with Jarrell Miller – plenty questioned whether we’d see the former heavyweight beltholder in the ring again. Ruiz, too, wondered what was ahead. “It got really dark. Really dark,” Ruiz, 35-2-1 (22…
Robert Sanchez is set to join Como on loan after Chelsea agreed a fee for the Spanish goalkeeper this summer. If you enjoy Talk Chelsea coverage and want to see more of it, add us as a preferred source on Google to make us a favourite and see more of our content. There’s a whirlwind of activity at Chelsea at the moment as the club wrap up deal after deal to conclude a busy summer. The goalkeeper situation looked pretty settled just a week ago – but a swoop for Emi Martinez late last week changed the equation. It displaced…
Usyk’s performance against Verhoeven changed the way that matchup should be viewed. He needed an eleventh-round stoppage to defeat a kickboxer competing in only his second professional boxing match. Verhoeven was leading 96-94 on one scorecard, with the other two judges tied at 95-95 when the fight was stopped. The Dutchman created difficulty through his size, patience and physical pressure. Wilder would present a completely different test. He relies on space and hesitation before driving his right hand straight down the middle. Usyk would likely control most of the exchanges with his southpaw angles, feints and constant changes of rhythm.…
51 year old Jamie Cureton speaks on signing for the 26th club of his career, becoming quite the non league journeyman. Less than a year ago, the experienced former Premier League and EFL player joined Kings Park Rangers in the Eastern Counties League Division One North, with the aim of becoming the first player to score in every English football tier. A month or so later, he achieved that, coming on the second half of the Eastern Counties League Division One North outfit’s game away at Dussindale & Hellesdon Rovers, assisted for King’s Park Rangers’s third goal, then ended the…
“We weren’t going to win a decision. I don’t care how close the fight was; we were not going to win a decision because boxing has a tendency to do what’s best for boxing financially. I expected to be down. I expected not to win any rounds. I expected Filip to be the 9-to-1 or 8-to-1 underdog. I expected all that, but it was a 12-round fight, and we were going to capitalize on it being a 12-round fight,” Sanchez said to Fight Hub TV. The crowd made Itauma’s advantage feel wider than it was. Every clean punch brought a…
Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we chat about the 1-0 win over Aston Villa on Monday night. We discuss the timing of our visit there, the influence of Riccardo Calafiori, Bukayo Saka’s second goal in as many games, a difficult night for Christos Tzolis, and an encouraging one for second half substitute Bruno Guimaraes. We then turn to transfer deadline day and what kind of business we expect Arsenal to do before 11pm this evening. We know there will be departures, but can we bring in another attacker…
Well, one deal that doesn’t appear to be on the cards for Leeds United on deadline day is the signing of Mykhailo Mudryk, with the 25-year-old seemingly heading elsewhere by all accounts. The Ukrainian, who last featured for Chelsea in a competitive game back in November 2024, had been the subject of a loan bid from the Elland Road side earlier this month, with the winger pushing to leave Stamford Bridge in search of regular game time. That offer was ultimately rebuffed, with Mudryk instead set to join Tottenham Hotspur, linking up with former Shakhtar Donetsk boss, Roberto De Zerbi.…
