More than a month after defending the title he captured from Kubrat Pulev, Gassiev has returned to Vladikavkaz following almost five months away from home. For now, training can wait. “At the moment, I do not have any information about my next fight,” Gassiev said. “Negotiations are taking place, and different options and opponents are being considered. I am resting now and completely switched off from boxing.” Chisora presents the more complicated proposition. Gassiev considers the British veteran a friend and refuses to take his social-media provocations seriously, viewing them as part of Chisora’s familiar approach to selling fights. He…

Sanchez stepped aside with a guaranteed shot at the winner. Now Hrgovic wants unification fights against Agit Kabayel or Daniel Dubois, with another payment offered as the solution. Sky Sports confirmed Sanchez’s guarantee before the fight. “Frank Sanchez will wait, get another step-aside, make money without fighting and everyone’s happy,” Hrgovic said after his victory, as quoted by The Ring. Everyone being happy is Hrgovic’s interpretation. A payment compensates Sanchez for a delay. It does not give him the championship or the earning power that comes with winning it. There is a competitive cost, too. Waiting without fighting offers no…

After securing third place in the Premier League last season, many Manchester United supporters are expecting Michael Carrick to mount a title charge in 2026/27. INEOS have certainly backed the manager in his attempts for success at Old Trafford, with over £150m being spent to improve the senior ranks to date. All of the money has been invested into the central midfield department, with such an area seen as the weakest area after Casemiro’s departure at the end of June.

(Queensberry Promotions) Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley are set to rematch on October 17 at the O2 Arena in London, England. The WBO heavyweight belt Dubois snatched from Wardley in 11 brutal rounds in May. Dubois rose from two early brushes with the canvas to pound the resistance out of the game – and perhaps too game – Wardley. Such was damage dished out, there was concern for the loser in the aftermath. But Wardley, 20-1-1 (19 KOs), insists he’s all healed with lessons learned. The 31-year-old has rebounded before. In 2024, in a rematch, he pounded Frazer Clarke into…

Richarlison has hit out at Tottenham as he stressed his desire to return to Everton in a dramatic pre-deadline day outburst. Everton and Spurs have been locked in talks over a potential deal for Richarlison, with a deal agreed at £25m plus add-ons. Richarlison’s possible return to Everton, for whom he scored 53 goals in 152 games between 2018 and 2022, was seen as a separate deal to Spurs’ move for Iliman Ndiaye. Spurs and Everton had struck an agreement on a £60m transfer for Ndiaye, but Manchester City have reportedly hijacked that deal on Monday, and will pay the Toffees…

Instead of accepting the harsh reality, Itauma is already campaigning to jump straight back into the ring with the Croatian sledgehammer. “He is saying to me, ‘Can we get the rematch on?’ which is a natural reaction,” promoter Frank Warren told talkSPORT. “But I told him, ‘You have got to switch off from boxing, go and chill out and spend some time with your family and come back, recharge your batteries and then we get to work again.’” Warren is completely right to slam the brakes on this suicidal idea. “Provided he learns the lessons from the fight, I think…
