After sharing twelve rounds with Devin Haney, Regis Prograis has weighed in on how his former rival may fare against Shakur Stevenson. With both Stevenson and Haney recently linked to a move to Zuffa Boxing, plus an ongoing back-and-forth, a fight between the two American pound-for-pound operators seems to be edging closer, even despite the weight difference between them. Stevenson has only fought once at super-lightweight – a standout win against Teofimo Lopez – and could likely make lightweight again. Haney, on the other hand, is now at welterweight, and his days of making anything beneath the 147 limit may…
The date: 2 May 2009. The place: Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Madrid. La Liga game.Guardiola made a decision. He pulled Messi off the right wing and placed him at the tip of the forward formation – but without the job of a traditional striker. Samuel Eto’o went right, Thierry Henry went left, and Messi was told: drop, receive, decide. By full-time it was 6-2. The false nine was reborn.It was nothing new. Gusztav Sebes’ Hungary had dismantled England in their own backyard back in 1953, when in their 6–3 win over England he repeatedly dropped Nandor Hidegkuti into midfield, pulling centre‑backs…
“Davis Vs Haney, the biggest fight of the year.⭐️” Haney responded shortly afterward, but instead of embracing the matchup, he shifted the focus toward Stevenson. “Me vs. Shakur.. is the biggest. Our fight would be big tho.” The exchange is notable because it comes just days after Bill Haney publicly suggested that Shakur would be the preferred opponent before any potential fight with Keyshawn. While Haney did not dismiss Davis outright, his response made clear which matchup he views as the bigger attraction. A Haney-Shakur fight has been discussed for years. The two unbeaten stars have a long history dating…

Ronald Koeman said that Monday’s friendly against Uzbekistan will be used to fine-tune his starting line-up for the Netherlands’ opening game at the World Cup. Netherlands take on World Cup debutants Uzbekistan at Icahn Stadium, hoping to bounce back from their shock 1-0 defeat to Algeria before they jetted off to North America. The Oranje’s defeat saw them lose their final home match before a major tournament for only the fourth time, having previously done so in 1934, 1938 and 2004. Koeman made the decision to replace his entire team against Algeria, with six of those changes coming at half-time, including Virgil van…
Boxing has always lived in two worlds. One is competition, in my opinion the hardest, least forgiving of all sports. Everyone who reads this website knows the cliche, “You don’t play boxing.” The other world boxing lives in is spectacle. The showmanship, nostalgia, and the irresistible pull of famous names under bright lights has gone on since John L. Sullivan, Jack Johnson and Jack Dempsey. High-profile exhibitions sit squarely in the second category, and there is nothing inherently wrong with that as long as everyone is honest about what they are watching. If we’re honest that we are watching a…

The clarification comes after the sanctioning body’s listings had previously identified Tsutsumi as champion. Vargas now enters his scheduled defense against Rodriguez as the official WBA titleholder. Tsutsumi won the WBA bantamweight title with a victory over Takuma Inoue in October 2024 and made his first defense against Daigo Higa in February 2025. That bout ended in a draw. The WBA later ordered Tsutsumi to face Vargas, who held the interim title at the time. Before the fight could take place, Tsutsumi was moved to champion-in-recess status because of injury, leading to Vargas being elevated to full champion. Vargas defended…
