“I’m supposed to be here, and I’m fulfilling my destiny,” said Roach. “William Zepeda is a top contender, and we wouldn’t want this fight for the vacant title to be against anyone other than someone of his level.” “I’m working my ass off in camp to do everything I can to take this belt home.” “On August 1, I’ll claim my second world title in my second division, and the sky’s the limit.” For Roach (25-1-3, 10 KOs), victory would cement his status as a two-division world champion. Defeat, however, would halt the momentum he has built in recent years…

Since claiming the WBO crown at 140lbs by comprehensively beating Teofimo Lopez, Stevenson has been called for fights against Conor Benn, Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis. Another man that has been demanding a shot at Stevenson is two-time and reigning WBC super-featherweight world champion, O’Shaquie Foster, who trumped Raymond Ford last month to defend his belt.

“Some business got in the way of us fighting before,” Roach to Fight Hub TV said when asked about a potential matchup with Foster. “And it’s really easy for him to make that fight. All he has to do is say he wants to move up. He’ll be the mandatory.” Roach emphasized that the door remains open if Foster chooses to pursue opportunities at 135 pounds. “For everybody listening, just know that’s all he has to do,” Roach said. “Literally, that’s all he has to do.” The 29-year-old Roach also pushed back against suggestions that he had previously avoided a…
17 needed off the last six. Charani does well to bring Richa back on strike. Five balls, sixteen runs. She brings that down to 12 needed off four balls with a brilliant four going down on one knee. Slog sweep, vintage Richa. Make that six off three. A MASSIVE SIX DOWN THE GROUND. And it looks like they’ve lost the ball. Linsey Smith really losing the plot here. India one hit away from a win that looked impossible about 10 minutes ago. Ah, T20s! The best part is, the Australian squad is right there at the ground, watching this demolition job.…

Morning all. Injuries have long been a topic of discussion among Arsenal fans, and so it was interesting that this week it was reported that the club’s head doctor, Zafar Iqbal, was to leave. David Ornstein reports now that he will be replaced by Portuguese Arnaldo Abrantes, who has just left his role as Head of Medical Services at Aston Villa. He also has history with Nottingham Forest and Estoril. If you ask Arsenal fans whether we’re a team that’s injury prone or not, I think the answer would lean towards yes. Last season we missed Kai Havertz for half…
