A furious row has broken out in the buildup to the Italian Grand Prix between the Alpine team executive adviser and de facto team principal, Flavio Briatore, and the McLaren principal, Andrea Stella, after Briatore made extraordinary allegations about McLaren’s influence on an FIA court of appeal decision against his team, claims which Stella dismissed as “insulting”.Early on Friday a decision was released by the court of appeal, finding in favour of McLaren and Red Bull appeals against the result of the Monaco GP, prompted by a series of pit lane speeding penalties that were incorrect. The pit lane at…
Peter Odemwingie warns Sky Sports, West Brom and QPR as he considers legal action over this failed transfer on deadline day in 2013. He took to his social media to speak of the truth regarding how that infamous situation all played out, saying there was a lot more to that interview. A year ago he spoke of dodgy agents, goalposts being moved and Roy Hodgson making sabotaging phone calls, now Odemwingie had explained more of his side to the story. He captioned a video post: “So earlier this year @officialqpr auctioned the shirt they prepared for my arrival in January…

(Brad Holloway/Matchroom Boxing) Eddie Hearn, who has long lobbied for the heavyweight showdown between his charge Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury to be held in the UK, today announced that Wembley Stadium in London is back in play to host. It’s been a long road to get this far. Contracts were signed earlier in the year but the details on them didn’t match and one of those details, the territory in which the fight would take place, was an important one: Joshua’s contract, unlike Fury’s, stipulated a UK venue. And so began a long and winding saga. Financiers Sela –…

Irving says he will go through a well established routine in his preparations for the big fight.”A world title fight you make sure you have your uniform together, your pens, your scorecard, your towel and your water.”You make sure you are hydrated because it could be a warm night and the fight could go the whole way, the whole 10 rounds, which can be very tiring.”I’ll be prepared, I always do a bit of training, always keep myself right eating wise.”I can assure everyone that I’ll be ready, no matter how big the fight is, how big of an occasion…
Arsenal had one of the deepest squads last season, which carried them to the Premier League title and Champions League final. It looks like that summer transfer window didn’t change that, until the same names began to appear twice. Eberechi Eze covers the left wing and Martin Ødegaard. Noni Madueke covers Bukayo Saka and Christos Tzolis. Max Dowman can play on the right or as a No. 10, although he is still only 16. Mikel Merino remains the emergency striker if two forwards who didn’t leave the club this summer are unavailable. That is the real result of Arsenal’s summer…
“I won’t be doing 154. No way,” Benn stated to The Ring. “This was always going to be my last fight at 147. It’s for the WBC world title. I wanted a world title shot at 147, at the weight I started my career. I sidetracked for the Eubank fight, but all roads have led back to this.” Bypassing 154 permits Benn to hunt vulnerable belt holders at middleweight. IBF titleholder Aaron McKenna and WBO titleholder Denzel Bentley offer convenient options capable of generating revenue across Britain or Ireland. Neither man resembles an authentic world champion when you examine their…
“Weirdly, not as hard as I thought. I think that again also played into how things played out because I took a few shots coming in and I thought, ‘Okay, they’re not the most fun, but they’re also not the most concerning either.’ I thought, ‘I’m all right here, actually. I’m okay.’ That combined with the knockdown, I just got overzealous,” Wardley told Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions. Wardley’s explanation reveals the trap in judging heavyweight power by the first few punches. Dubois did not need to hurt him with every connection. His steady accumulation gradually reduced Wardley’s resistance after the…
