Moses Itauma learned the hard way that talent without stamina gets exposed in deep waters. His ninth-round stoppage loss to Filip Hrgovic showed glaring flaws in preparation. The blame rests squarely on trainer Ben Davison. When a fighter gasses out completely after dominating early, the captain of the ship must take the fall. Itauma walked into the ring looking like a world beater. He dropped Hrgovic early, built a massive lead on the scorecards, and landed explosive combinations at will. But by the seventh round, Moses was running on empty fumes. His arms turned heavy, his feet stopped moving, his…

Murat Gassiev, the WBA heavyweight beltholder, has admitted he has “completely switched off” from boxing though talks are underway behind the scenes regarding his next opponent.The Russian, 34-2 (27 KOs), is one of several heavyweights in the championship mix following Gassiev’s former conqueror Oleksandr Usyk’s decision to relinquish three of the four belts and, in effect, say goodbye to elite-level competition.Gassiev halted the unheralded Peter Kadiru last month before veteran Derek Chisora confronted the victor, somewhat playfully, in the aftermath. Cue speculation that the war-torn Briton is being lined up for Gassiev next.“At the moment, I do not have any…
Despite suffering two defeats in two games against Leeds United, Nottingham Forest fans are quietly optimistic for the future under Oliver Glasner after Saturday’s draw with Liverpool at Anfield. It’s the third season in a row the Reds have avoided defeat at such a ground, with the Austrian’s system starting to have an impact – as seen with the impressive display on Merseyside. The 51-year-old was always going to need time to be a success at the City Ground, with the supporters needing to be patient if he is to achieve the goal of claiming silverware.

Here is my analysis of the upcoming games I am looking forward to most alongside considered score predictions to assist your Championship betting… West Ham United v Wolverhampton…
Ireland’s two-weight undisputed champion reveals her final ring walk will bring joy rather than sadness as 80,000 await her in Dublin. Taylor offered a rare glimpse behind the fighter during Matchroom Boxing’s latest Ordinary People episode, filmed during her final training camp in Connecticut.
