Reports have circulated that the bout is being targeted for November 20 at MSG. Hearn revealed Joshua insisted on a clause in the contract requiring the fight to take place in Britain.

McCullum also gave his support for close friend Stephen Fleming, who has replaced him as Test coach. Fleming, 53, will not be in charge for the Pakistan series as Marcus Trescothick will step in, meaning his first assignment will be the tour of South Africa in December.”I had a great time in my four years but now it’s going in a different direction, I think Flem will be excellent,” McCullum said.”He’s a little bit like me, but better – that’s how I would sum him up.

He will carry on training, training and training and he will be getting older, as will Tyson, so what is the point? Get on with it. I am actually going to keep it to myself at…

Liverpool’s search for a new winger has become the biggest story of their summer, with PSG sensation Bradley Barcola their dream target for Andoni Iraola. Mohamed Salah’s move to Trabzonspor left a hole that could never be filled by one player. Liverpool lost their source of goals, but also the forward who had defined the right side of their attack for nine years.

Their interest in the RB Leipzig teenager…
