McKenna believes his history with Adames tells him something different. “I think he’d be afraid to fight me because he knows exactly what I’m like. And that was when I was 19. Now I’m 27, fully developed middleweight,” McKenna told The Ring. The problem with that argument is that sparring from eight years ago isn’t much evidence of what happens in a championship fight today. McKenna is essentially an untested belt-holder.

“The reality is a lot of these fighters have this sort of grand illusion that they really can run their own promotional company and take over,” Hearn told the Punch Podcast. “They love to have a promotional company, and they love their logo on the ring mat and on the poster, but I’ve worked with these guys before, Devin Haney included, and when it comes down to it, they don’t really want to take any responsibility or financial risk in a show.” Hearn gave an example involving Haney, claiming he offered a true co-promotional partnership that was quickly turned down.…

Newcastle United desperately need a win in the transfer market. It’s been 12 months of pure frustration, with several star players swapping Tyneside for rival clubs and endless rejection arriving in pursuit of the replacements for those players. However, there is still time for the Magpies to turn things around, and what better way to do that than by getting one over on arch-rivals Sunderland. Those at St James’ Park have momentarily turned their focus away from midfield additions and towards Toulouse left-back Dayann Methalie.
