Joe Joyce will return to the ring on July 11 when he faces unbeaten heavyweight Artem Suslenkov on the undercard of Murat Gassiev’s WBA ‘regular’ heavyweight title defense against Tony Yoka in Moscow, Russia.

My team and I are locked in, and Moscow should get ready for a big performance.” Suslenkov enters the contest…
England have dropped Sophia Dunkley and promoted Amy Jones to open for their T20 World Cup warm-up against Australia in Cardiff.Dunkley’s place was vulnerable after she scored 98 runs in six innings during England’s preceding series against New Zealand and India, with a highest score of 26. Both openers fell cheaply, though, with Jones caught at mid-off for two and Danni Wyatt-Hodge bowled for four.Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt replaced Dunkley in the top six, batting at three in her first international appearance of the summer, while the in-form Alice Capsey remains at four – which is likely to be the line-up…

The need for an ICD – which is around half the size of a mobile phone – to be fitted can be caused by a variety of different health conditions, including heart failure, coronary heart disease, and arhythmias.Depending on the exact illness an athlete is suffering from, a return to competition is possible.”All cases are individual,” says Dr. Amanda Lahti, a doctor and researcher in sports medicine.”It is a shared decision model – you take opinions from the club, the player, their agent, and medical experts, looking at the risks and the potential benefits.

Manav Suthar ended the one-off Test against Afghanistan with match figures of seven for 62 and won the Player of the Match on debut. India’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak credited the left-arm orthodox bowler’s domestic grind through the year for his giant leap onto the international stage.“He has been playing for two-three years – India A, India Emerging and all. So, a great opportunity for him and he bowled so well, in fact, he also did well in batting, that is very satisfying. But I feel that the structure of BCCI is such that from the age-group to Ranji Trophy,…

Good morning from Brixton…and apologies for the lateness of today’s blog. The tenth 11th FIFA World Cup of my lifetime begins on Thursday and, until this weekend, I hadn’t given it much thought. After an Arsenal season that stretched into June and delivered plenty of joy and a dash of heartbreak, I suspect my brain had quietly decided football could wait for a bit. Then, with my wife away in Scotland and full control of the TV remote restored, I found myself watching a pair of programmes that, whether through subconscious curiosity or the algorithm doing its thing, slowly nudged…
“Anthony, with all due respect to him and his achievements, has been built up to a higher level than he’s actually at,” said Peter Fury to talkSPORT Boxing. Fury acknowledged Joshua’s accomplishments but suggested there were flaws in his game that prevented him from becoming a fully rounded heavyweight. “I think Joshua is making light work with a lot of these because of his explosive power,” said Peter. “Yeah, I just think where Joshua’s lacked a bit is that he’s relied too much on that. He’s looking for that one shot all the time, which then, if you’re looking for…
