“OFFICIAL RESOLUTION: The WBO grants Oscar Collazo’s request as he pursues history as a two-division World Champion,” the organization posted on X. The concession is mostly ceremonial. Collazo will vacate his WBO mini-flyweight title following the contest, regardless of the result. The organization will sanction an interim title bout between leading contenders to keep the 105-pound division active. Allowing Collazo to carry the belt into the ring gives the DAZN co-feature a champion-versus-champion presentation without leaving his old division stalled for months. The WBO cited his loyalty, active reign, title record, and attempt to jump directly from 105 to 112…
Borussia Dortmund have signed Ethan Nwaneri on loan from Arsenal, while Bayer Leverkusen have signed Guela Doue. Nwaneri has joined Dortmund for the duration of the season, with BVB in need of a new winger after Giannis Konstantelias sustained a serious injury in their opening-day win over Hamburg. The 19-year-old spent part of last term out on loan at Marseille. He has made 37 appearances for Arsenal, including 26 in the Premier League. Dortmund’s Bundesliga rivals Leverkusen, meanwhile, have also been active, securing the signing of highly rated full-back Doue from Strasbourg.

The important development is not Yoenli becoming the mandatory challenger. WBO president Gustavo Olivieri publicly confirmed that status on August 23, stating that Bentley would receive one voluntary defense before facing the Cuban. Yoenli’s appeal changes that arrangement. The WBO now intends to send Bentley directly into the mandatory defense because the obligation dates back to Janibek’s reign. Vacating the championship and elevating Bentley did not erase it. That distinction was lost in BoxingScene’s headline, which presents Hernandez’s mandatory position as something new. The exclusive portion is that his appeal appears to have eliminated the voluntary defense previously promised to Bentley.…
(Mark Robinson / Goldstar Promotions) Conor Benn is being backed to repeat the heroics of Filip Hrgovic by Keith Connelly, who manages them both. Benn tackles WBC welterweight boss Ryan Garcia on September 12 in Las Vegas, a fight which will come exactly a fortnight after Hrgovic stunned Moses Itauma in London to win the vacant IBF heavyweight strap. Hrgovic was bloodied and bruised by the rapier fists of Itauma and was losing widely on all three scorecards going into the ninth. But the young Briton alarmingly faded and, when clearly exhausted, was rescued by the referee. Hrgovic is 34…

OUR ultra-busy EFL Championship clubs go again for an important midweek programme and Tony Incenzo previews the action for William Hill News. Embryonic League standings mean little right now. Particularly as clubs will be bolstering playing ranks ahead of the transfer window imminently slamming shut. Accordingly, football betting odds make compelling reading. Here is my analysis of the upcoming games I am looking forward to most alongside considered score predictions to assist your Championship betting… West Bromwich Albion v Charlton Athletic Prediction Kick-off: 7.45pm Rankings: 7th versus 1st West Bromwich Albion preview – Saturday’s 3-1 reverse at Middlesbrough marked Albion’s…
Usyk is almost perfectly equipped to deepen that hesitation. His lateral movement keeps him away from the straight center line Wilder needs for his power shot. The southpaw jab, constant feints, and changes of direction would force Wilder to restart his attack repeatedly. Parker and Zhang made him reluctant to throw. Usyk may reduce him to following, watching, and losing rounds without mounting a sustained attack. An X poster named PA98 raised the question Usyk’s supporters rarely want to answer: “Why can’t he fight the up-and-comers and pass the torch in the ring like the greats of the past did?…
West Bromwich Albion’s business in the summer transfer window may not be done yet as they look for further additions before tonight’s deadline. Unlike several Championship teams, the Baggies do not have the distraction of having a competitive match this evening, which means that James Morrison can focus on bringing players to the club. One area of the pitch that they could look to strengthen in is the forward line after Morrison’s side were beaten 3-1 by Middlesbrough in their latest clash. Why West Brom need an upgrade on Barney Stewart Jimmy Jay Morgan and Aune Heggebo made a near-perfect…

That simple post has generated plenty of interaction because everyone gets to play matchmaker. It keeps Itauma in the conversation while giving fans a voice in how Queensberry should handle his return. Quick Knockouts Hid The Weaknesses Whoever comes next must serve a purpose. Matching Itauma with another heavyweight who collapses under his opening attack would do nothing to correct what Hrgovic exposed. Itauma’s string of early knockouts built excitement but denied him the live rounds needed to develop punch economy. He attacked Hrgovic as though every combination had to end the fight, throwing power shots at full speed instead…
