Conor Benn showed a weight of 157.8 pounds on Friday, leaving him 10.8 pounds above the welterweight limit with 21 days remaining until he must make 147 for his fight with WBC champion Ryan Garcia.

It’s shaping up to be a defining week in Tottenham Hotspur’s summer rebuild. Savinho’s £85m move from Manchester City is now just a formality away from completion, with the Brazilian having been a long-term target for ENIC before finally getting his man. It represents the kind of statement business Spurs have been craving on the wing for years, and Savinho arrives with a reputation for dribbling, pace and genuine 1v1 quality that should slot straight into Roberto De Zerbi’s plans.
