After back-to-back wins over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League and EFL Cup, Leeds then came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw with Brentford last time out.

DUBLIN, Ireland – Eddie Hearn has claimed that there was never an offer on the table for Dmitry Bivol to face Artur Beterbiev in a trilogy bout. The pair first faced off in October 2024, with Beterbiev edging a razor-close majority decision to lay claim to all four light heavyweight titles. Bivol won an immediate rematch four months later after another tight contest decided by close scorecards. It seemed a trilogy was a must to settle the score between the two Russians, with Bivol even choosing to vacate his WBC title in order to pursue a rubber match with Beterbiev…

Morning all. So transfer deadline day came and went, and despite some chat yesterday about Malick Fofana, it looks like Arsenal decided early on the 21 year old wasn’t the right option, and thus any chance of an arrival went out the window. I can’t sit here this morning, despite the fact I think we’ve left ourselves short, and bemoan the fact we didn’t sign a player I’d barely heard of until 24 hours ago. Let’s look at what we did in this window. I think the signing of Bruno Guimaraes is very good. It makes us even stronger in…

He compared the plan to Filip Hrgovic’s victory over Moses Itauma. “It’s going to be exactly the same. My guy’s going to be in tremendous shape. Ryan Garcia is a great fighter, but my guy’s going to bully him. He’s going to bully him all over the ring. He might lose some rounds like Filip did,…

Janibek Alimkhanuly has turned this week’s WBO negotiation deadline into a test of Hamzah Sheeraz’s credibility. Sheeraz must agree to defend his super middleweight title, let the fight proceed toward a purse bid, or surrender the belt and accept the reputational cost that follows. “The more they call me ‘The Nightmare,’ the more I’m starting to wonder… am I actually becoming boxers’ real nightmare? In 1-2 days, we’ll find out if he’s a real champion or just a champion by name. Let’s wait and see,” Janibek said on X. His message gives no indication that he is interested in step-aside…
