Wrexham respond after Billy Sharp speaks on his beef with their fans, players and manager Phil Parkinson, reigniting the feud. It all started four years ago, with Sharp laying into Wrexham in a post match interview after the Blades beat them in an FA Cup fourth round replay. Ben Tozer and Phil Parkinson then slammed Sharp over the ‘disrespectful’ interview and it continued to play out, before going quiet, until now.

“Now Frank is the mandatory for Hrgovic. We plan on enforcing it. We’ve already had discussions about it. It’s happening,” Valencia told BoxingScene. “There’s not going to be step-asides for no amount of money. He believes he can be world champion and wants to be world champion, and [nothing] is going to interfere with that opportunity. “Moses wasn’t strong enough to hurt Hrgovic in the first six or seven rounds. It’s a completely different story with Frank Sanchez. Frank has speed and big power.” Itauma did hurt Hrgovic, dropping him in the second round and landing enough heavy shots to…
Manchester City are known for their ties to the Middle East, with Sheikh Mansour’s Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG) owning the majority of the club after buying 90% from Thaksin Shinawatra back in 2008. As one of the biggest wage spenders in the Premier League, the Citizens currently have a whopping annual payroll of about £177m, with the average player earning around £6m-per-season Pep Guardiola may no longer be at the helm but under Enzo Maresca, they’ve made some seriously eye-catching signings, most notably Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea. So, how much do he and his teammates over at the Etihad…
WBO regulations give the championship committee authority to extend the deadline for a mandatory defense so its champion can participate in a unification. This provision leaves Bentley’s team with reason to believe McKenna will receive priority. The organization can approve the fight on the condition that Hernandez challenges the winner next. Bentley’s preference is easy to understand. McKenna brings the IBF belt, substantial Irish support, and a style that should produce sustained exchanges. Hernandez offers two amateur world championships, difficult timing, and almost no ticket-selling power in Britain or Ireland. A London or Dublin venue would turn the unification into…
Pierre Sage believes Ismaila Sarr “needs time” to move past the collapse of his potential move from Crystal Palace to Liverpool. Sarr was linked with a late move to Liverpool in the transfer window but ultimately ended up staying at Selhurst Park. The Senegal international was Palace’s top scorer in all competitions last term, netting 21 goals as well as helping them lift the Community Shield and Conference League trophies. Sarr has yet to feature for Palace in the league this season, missing the defeats to Everton and Manchester City due to a groin injury. He is also expected to miss…
Two thrilling weeks of Premier League football have already reminded us that Final One Standing is far easier said than done. Manchester United at newly promoted Hull City on the opening weekend looked exactly like the type of fixture players circle at the start of these competitions. Liverpool at Anfield, to Nottingham Forest in week two, appeared to be another shoo-in, yet neither team delivered the desired win! In Final One Standing, there are no consolation points. A draw sends you packing just as quickly as a defeat. And for many players, one of those results may already have ended…

The Athletic have just done a piece which looks at Chelsea’s summer transfer window and assesses where it went well and where it didn’t go so well.

That perspective explains Hearn’s eagerness to downplay Hrgovic’s aura while propping up Itauma. The 21-year-old keeps his hand speed, explosive offensive output, and heavy commercial appeal despite suffering that ninth-round stoppage. He showed specific vulnerabilities that favor Ruiz, especially after running out of steam hunting for an early knockout. Frank Warren has shown no interest in this idea yet. Queensberry patiently rebuilt Daniel Dubois following brutal stoppage defeats against Joe Joyce and Oleksandr Usyk, eventually steering him toward a world title. Itauma went straight to the hospital battling severe exhaustion right after the final bell. Handing him two or three…
There were some boos for a new pre-match ‘club anthem’ played out at QPR’s Loftus Road before the Cardiff game this week. Queens Park Rangers used to play out The Clash’s song “London Calling” as their pre-match anthem right before kick-off. But now it seems the song ‘Bleeding Blue & White’ by Cozy Joe has replaced it and hasn’t proved popular with the fanbase. Jon Blower wrote via the QPR Pride Of London Facebook group ahead of the game: “Got to say I’m pretty excited for tonight’s match. The buzz around the club right now is something I haven’t seen…
