“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…

Southend United head coach boss Kieron Dyer gets challenged to get as many Michael Jackson songs in his press conference. He and his players decided to mix things up for a good cause, turning what can be a rather boring presser into something fun. After achieving this secret mission, with journalists and reporters failing to spot it, or question him on it, the money will be donated to a charity. As heard in a video, he ended the press conference by saying: “That’s great, thank you very much. Did you, sorry, just to tell you, I was challenged by the…
Former Pakistan coach Jason Gillespie said Friday chairman of selectors Aaqib Javed needs to “look at himself in the mirror” with the national team “playing with fear”.In a shock move, Pakistan this week replaced head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and pace-bowling chief Umar Gul, and sent seven players home from England, in a dramatic response to successive Test thrashings.Australia’s Gillespie, who led the side for eight months in 2024, including a 2-1 Test series win against England, said it was sad to see.“I feel for the players; this is these guys’ livelihoods,” he told The Australian newspaper. “From the outside it…
Morning all. Let’s start today with a goodbye, after Gabriel Martinelli’s move to Al Hilal was confirmed yesterday. The fee, a record €70m, means he becomes our most expensive sale ever, although I’m quite sure that’s one he probably never dreamed of having under his name – particularly to a club in the Saudi Arabian league. He arrived from the Brazilian fourth division aged 18, and was initially earmarked for an Academy role and progression. Very quickly though, Arsenal realised what they had, and he made his Premier League debut in August, coming on as a sub in a 1-0…
Taylor has never hidden her disdain for the circus of fight-week theatre, preferring the sanctuary of the gym.But this week she has welled up under the glare of the cameras and stayed a fraction longer during face-offs to absorb the magnitude of the moment.”Every fighter in the world wishes they were in this position,” she says.”I’m just blown away from the support from this country. I don’t think there are many other countries where 80,000 show up for a female athlete.”The crowd – hearing ‘ole ole ole’ one last time – feeling the atmosphere, seeing the tricolours all over the…
Richarlison wanted a fresh start away from Tottenham this summer, and his omission from their Premier League squad suggests he’s getting it. The Brazilian was missing from Thursday’s submission after a proposed return to Everton broke down. REUTERS/Matthew Childs Roberto De Zerbi had already made the situation public, revealing after the Newcastle defeat that Richarlison had repeatedly told him he wanted to leave. The head coach also made clear that any departure would have to bring Tottenham an acceptable financial return. Everton had offered a possible route out, with talks taking place alongside Tottenham’s pursuit of Iliman Ndiaye. Neither move…
“You wouldn’t have fought me if you didn’t get all of these concessions,” Williams said during Thursday’s final press conference, streamed by Matchroom Boxing. “Let’s not act like you’re like me, where it’s anybody, anytime. I’m about to take your city over using you. They’re going to call me the Brick City champ after what I do to you.” Mielnicki admitted Williams provides vital credibility. The 24-year-old fighter sits high in sanctioning body rankings, yet his past foes never tested him against the upper-echelon strength Williams possesses. “I know that I need a guy like him on my record to…
New England Revolution head coach Marko Mitrovic has hailed the influence of Carles Gil and hopes he can continue to shine against the LA Galaxy in MLS. Gil has been an important figure during his time in New England and showed that once again last weekend as he had a hand in all three goals in their 3-1 win over the Columbus Crew. That victory stretched New England’s unbeaten streak to three games (W2 D1), with both of their wins in that time coming on the road – they also beat D.C. United 3-0. The Revs are fourth in the…
“Beating Karen Chukhadzhian in Germany was probably the biggest win of my career. He’s the most avoided welterweight on the planet. To go there, do a hard 12 rounds, score two big knockdowns, and win the fight comfortably was great. It puts me in a great position to fight for a world title, but we have a pit stop, and the pit stop is Tyrone McKenna,” said McKenna to talkSPORT Ireland. Calling Chukhadzhian “the most avoided welterweight on the planet” is laying it on thick. Ennis defeated him over 12 rounds in January 2023 and repeated the result by another…
