Having suffered a one-sided defeat to Conor Benn last time out, some British fight fans expected Chris Eubank Jr to hang up the gloves, but the 36-year-old has now revealed plans for his next fight. Eubank defeated Benn in a huge domestic clash in their first meeting, but the roles were reversed in their November rematch, as a weight-drained Eubank scrambled to survive until the final bell – before losing a comprehensive unanimous decision. Benn has since returned to action and outpointed Regis Prograis, seemingly teeing up a shot at the WBC welterweight world title, but Eubank Jr has been…
Those close to the Dutch national team speak of a unified squad and, after a difficult domestic season, Gakpo has started the tournament impressively.His World Cup record – including the 2022 tournament – is impressive, with five goals in seven games. Twenty-three goals across 52 international caps in total since his debut five years ago bears further testimony to his quality.For now, his focus is entirely on the national team, where he also plays an important role off the pitch too in helping fellow Christians within the squad. “Cody is our pastor – he leads the prayers,” said Crysencio Summerville.Netherlands…
Scotland’s Andy Robertson to BBC Scotland: “Making mistakes. We started the game well, we pushed up the pitch, they maybe put us in a false sense of security. We had time on the ball and then got punished. We’re just off the pitch but the initial reaction is just one of frustration. “At times we were comfortable on the ball, at times we got ourselves in dangerous areas, but at this stage, against these teams, we can’t afford to make the mistakes we made. “We played some nice stuff, then you go and get beat 3-0. A frustrating night but…

Former unified welterweight champion says he knew something was wrong before the undisputed fight but accepted the risk for his family’s future Errol Spence Jr. says financial security for his family outweighed his concerns before facing Terence Crawford in 2023, despite believing something was seriously wrong in the weeks leading up to the fight. The former unified welterweight champion says the record purse convinced him to move forward even though he was unsure whether he would ever box again. “I knew that this maximum payout is going to take care of my family. Even if I’m not here, it’s going…
Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White has criticised referees for their “egregious” and “utterly disrespectful” officiating around star player Caitlin Clark.The Fever suffered a 111-109 loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday with Clark going off injured in the third quarter after multiple tangles with the opposition.One incident saw Alyssa Thomas appear to knee Clark in the groin and push her fist into her neck after a tussle for possession, with no foul being called.Shortly afterwards, Clark was fouled during a three-pointer which led to an awkward landing for the 24-year-old, who appeared in discomfort as she got back to…
Morning all. In this part of the world it’s extremely warm, unusually so. It’s almost as the climate has changed, somehow. Don’t worry though, when we use all the water and electricity to power Ai data-centres so people can instantly generate lifelike pictures of Homer Simpson with three tits and a dragon cock, singing a song made from stealing all the music in the world and producing a series of novels from nicking every bit of writing ever, it’ll all get better. In seriousness though, take care, drink lots of water, and also drink more water than that. There has…
The brain trust at 60-year-old Top Rank is beyond shrewd enough to wisely maneuver a gifted, young fighter to a world title and an extended reign, if it so chooses.Xander Zayas, 23, knows that, and yet he’s still rushing to a Saturday night DAZN pay-per-view showdown against Philadelphia’s unbeaten former unified welterweight champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis at Barclays Center in New York.Within the past 11 months, Puerto Rico’s Zayas, 23-0 (13 KOs), has won the WBO and WBA junior middleweight titles in consecutive fights versus Jorge Garcia and Abass Baraou.The obligations of those two sanctioning bodies would’ve likely allowed Zayas…
