Milan have signed Omari Hutchinson from Nottingham Forest in a loan-to-buy deal. Hutchinson, who only joined Forest from Ipswich Town for £37.5m last year, will head to San Siro on an initial 12-month deal, which the Rossoneri can make permanent next summer. The winger – a graduate of Chelsea’s academy – struggled for regular gametime at the City Ground, only starting 17 Premier League games in 2025-26 and scoring one goal. He now joins a Milan side that sanctioned the sale of Rafael Leao to Galatasaray last week, with the Portugal international departing after playing 291 games for the Italian giants,…
In Bradley’s view, Itauma mistook offensive talent for ring intelligence. “If you’ve got a high boxing IQ like they say you do, now, you’ve got skills. Your boxing IQ is marginal, bro, and your corner is even worse,” said Bradley on his channel. “You didn’t see this dude just playing defense on you. That’s all he was doing. You’re working your ass off trying to force a knockout. That’s what happens when you try to force a knockout.” The harshest criticism was reserved for trainer Ben Davison and the rest of Itauma’s corner. Bradley argued that they failed to prepare…
AFC Wimbledon leave it late for their first league win and make it three league losses for Wigan in League One on Sunday afternoon. Myles Hippolyte coolly slotted home on 88 minutes to leave the Latics frustrating at not being able to score from the chances they had at goal. The game also saw open goal misses, penalty appeals turned away, the woodwork struck and some impressive saves… but this moment though, Sonny Perkins some how unable to score an open goal, from three yards out. It’s harder to miss, surely ! pic.twitter.com/wPyqEqlyTJ — John (@johndanbatch) August 30, 2026 SHORTENED…
Opponents of Madrid’s newly constructed Formula One circuit have accused the regional authorities of putting profit before people’s wellbeing after tests for the inaugural Spanish Grand Prix at the track later this month yielded noise levels that were almost twice the legal decibel limit.The regional government of Madrid and the city council are hoping that the 5.4km-long (3.3 miles) Madring circuit – which has been built in the north-east of the Spanish capital at a cost of €83m (£71m) – will attract visitors, boost the local economy and put the city firmly on the motor racing map. The Madring bills…
“For the other fights, when I fought Arreola, when I fought Luis Ortiz, when I fought Miller, I was kind of training myself. All I had was the mitt guy and the conditioning guy, and I was kind of controlling my whole camp,” Ruiz told Ariel Helwani. “I think because I thought I knew it all.” Eddy Reynoso officially worked with Ruiz for the Arreola fight, while Alfredo Osuna trained him against Ortiz. His admission suggests those coaches were present without having full authority over his preparation. Ruiz dictated the schedule, postponed work he did not want to complete, and…
Arsenal may only be two games into their Premier League title defence, but Mikel Arteta already feels the pressure is on to pick up points. The Gunners maintained their 100% start to the season on Monday as Bukayo Saka’s second-half strike clinched a 1-0 away win over Aston Villa. It is the seventh time in the last eight seasons that Arsenal have won their opening two matches of a Premier League campaign, and the fifth time in a row. And, as is so often the case, it was their rock-solid defensive work that made the difference at Villa Park. Arsenal did…
Siddhesh Lad is set to take over as Mumbai’s captain for the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy season, replacing Shardul Thakur, who led the side through the previous domestic campaign.The decision by the Mumbai Cricket Association’s senior selection committee is understood to have been made with workload management in mind, as selectors look to ease the demands on Shardul, particularly his bowling workload. Lad had already stepped in as captain last season when Shardul was unavailable due to injury.Shardul is expected to remain an important part of Mumbai’s plans, but the selectors are keen to avoid adding the demands of captaincy to…
Under a three-fight agreement with Matchroom, Ruiz does not necessarily expect to complete the entire deal before challenging for a belt. “It could take one fight. It could take two fights. I don’t know. God willing, just take this fight and then I’ll get to fight any of the champions,” Ruiz told Ariel Helwani. Beating Knyba should not place Ruiz near the front of any championship line. Agit Kabayel stopped the 6’7” Polish heavyweight in three rounds, and Ruiz would merely be defeating someone who has already been exposed below the elite level. Ruiz still has a reason to move…
