Myles Lewis-Skelly has become one of the summer’s most talked-about names, and the noise in Premier League news circles has only grown after fresh transfer speculation. The Arsenal youngster is already a full England international, yet his next move is still being debated far beyond north London. With the Gunners defying football betting odds and lifting the title, the Emirates Stadium is the most appealing place to be but minutes on the pitch are crucial. With the Myles Lewis-Skelly next team odds attracting plenty of attention, the market is being shaped by fit, squad need, and how much each club…

“Charlo: Might be only one possible for a solid fight,” Ortiz manager Rick Mirigian told BoxingScene’s Lance Pugmire. Jermell Charlo shouldn’t be here. He is a dinosaur from a previous era, and every significant fighter he defeated is no longer relevant at championship level. The division moved on while Charlo disappeared, yet his name is being pulled from the past to sell Ortiz’s next fight. Brian Castaño, Tony Harrison, Jeison Rosario, Erickson Lubin, and Austin Trout have all faded from the championship picture. Charlo has not recorded a victory since stopping Castaño in May 2022. Even during his prime, Charlo…

James Nixon | 12:51pm BST 18 August 2026 Last night I awoke from a dream – one of those that seems fully realistic at the time – in which Lord Botham was opining in the Upper House. The dream was so vivid that I was able to recall it in detail immediately afterwards. Sir Ian Botham was making one of his infrequent appearances in the House of Lords since his inauguration in October 2020. In this dream, he began by putting forward a motion for debate that this House believes the England and Wales Cricket Board has replaced an inherent…

Gil Clancy later explained that Foreman had become preoccupied with techniques introduced by another trainer. Clancy recalled watching Foreman carry his hands unusually high and attempt tactics that did not suit his natural fighting style. After six rounds, Clancy had seen enough. He instructed Foreman to abandon the experimentation and pursue the knockout. The change was immediate. Foreman attacked with conviction in the seventh. A heavy left hook left Young barely conscious. Young later admitted he was effectively out while remaining upright and believed Foreman could have pushed him over with one finger. Young survived through clinching, movement, and desperation.…

Jeff Stelling claims EFL clubs risk going bust when explaining why no one wants VAR introduced after some controversy at the weekend. The former Sky Sports Soccer Saturday presenter got into a debate with Ally McCoist, Jim White following comments from Martin Keown, who was in favour of VAR being in the Football League. Simon Jordan has given his take on it, also responding to Jeff Stelling’s rant on whether VAR is needed in the EFL. Martin Keown said: I think there’s a strong argument to bring VAR in when you consider that this is the sixth biggest league in…

William Hill News tipster @Footy_Tipster turns his attention to the bottom half of the table, analysing the clubs most at risk in the 2026/27 Premier League relegation battle. Our Prediction – Hull City (1/5), Coventry City (4/6), Ipswich Town (4/6) It’s always tempting to say all three newly‑promoted sides will head straight back to the Championship — and while football often surprises us, it’s difficult to argue against that possibility this season. Hull City return to the Premier League for the first time since 2016/17 after edging Middlesbrough in the play‑off final, but despite spending reasonably well this summer, they…

(Matchroom Boxing) Yesterday, it was announced that Odel Kamara has signed a long-term promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing. The talented prospect is just 22 and is being advised by Sam Jones. Here, he talks about his decision to turn pro, his home city of Liverpool, looking up to Roy Jones and being open to working with Nike. What was the biggest decision you had to make whether to stay for the Olympics? When it came to that decision, I was thinking more tactically than anything. Obviously, I would have been 24, 25 by the time I actually turned…

“It’s time to get rid of him,” McCoy said on Inside the Ring. “It’s one thing where your dad supports you, and he’s done all these great things for your career. But at some point, if you’re my father and you really love me, give me up to somebody that’s going to really manage me in the right way.” McCoy questioned what Lopez Sr. offered between rounds beyond emotional outbursts. Asking a bloodied fighter where his power had gone provided no solution for Shakur’s speed, ring generalship, or counterpunching. Max Kellerman took a less drastic position. He believes Teofimo used…
