More than that, though, he contends he should have hit all the pound-for-pound lists by now. “I should be top 10,” the 32-year-old told BoxingScene. “I should be top 10 for sure. If you look at my last five, six fights and you look at any of these other guys…

Axel Witsel believes that a blend of youth and experience within Belgium’s 26-man World Cup squad could be a recipe for success in North America.

Cardenas gained widespread attention in May 2025 when he knocked down undisputed junior featherweight champion Naoya Inoue before ultimately being stopped in the eighth round. More than a year later, he has another opportunity to strengthen his position in the…
Smith, now 31, played nine T20s for England across that first spell. She took 13 wickets, had a bowling average below 15 and an economy rate of little more than a run a ball.Many, possibly most, would view that as a success, but Smith, who describes herself as a perfectionist, was unable to find the positives at the time. She then lost her England contract.”It’s hard to explain really, but growing up as a kid, you have these goals to play for England,” Smith says.”Then you get there and you put all this internal pressure on yourself, which isn’t helpful.”I…
