Christmas Day surged to victory in the Derby at Epsom to give Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien a record-extending 12th win in the Classic.With Ronan Whelan in the saddle, the 7-1 son of 2012 Derby winner Camelot was just behind Action before pulling away in the final stages and storming home.Maltese Cross, ridden by Tom Maquand, was second, while James J Braddock, with jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle, came in third. “It was just so easy,” Whelan told ITV Racing. “Aidan just told me to keep it simple.”The horse has done it so easy. He loves the ground and it just felt…
Dana White has doubled down on claims he is playing a key role in Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua, despite Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren insisting otherwise. Joshua and Fury have signed to face off later this year following almost a decade of being linked together. The fight still has its obstacles in the form of ‘warm-up’ fights for both men, with ‘AJ’ facing Kristian Prenga on July 25 and Fury prepping an announcement for his own interim bout. Assuming both men navigate their interim bouts, Fury and Joshua are expected to meet in November. In the meantime, a war…
To think that four-goal first-half performance didn’t even involve John McGinn.A traditional 4-4-2 brought the best out of Scott McTominay, if that’s even more possible. Although we all know the Napoli star’s position was never in any doubt.Bologna’s Lewis Ferguson, who captain Robertson said “turned into a man” , externalduring the qualification campaign, again showed his maturity and ability to dictate play in the middle of the park. Cultured, some might say.But, in truth, the first half was dominated by the work done down the wings by Bournemouth pair Ben Gannon-Doak and Ryan Christie.Long before he was even in the…
Eddie Hearn wasn’t impressed by the praise being directed at Zuffa Boxing’s first UK event in Bournemouth and took several shots at Dana White’s promotion after Matchroom’s show in Sheffield on Saturday night. While many fans praised Chris Billam-Smith’s stoppage win over Ryan Rozicki and Cheavon Clarke’s victory over Jack Massey as the standout fights of the evening, Hearn suggested the overall card didn’t justify some of the hype surrounding Zuffa Boxing’s arrival in Britain. “I heard Chev Clarke won. Billam-Smith, the guy [Rozicki] retired on his stool. Was it a decent fight?” said Hearn to iFL TV. “Ben Shalom shows…
Afghanistan’s poor judgement has been in the spotlight during its one-off Test against India in New Chandigarh over the first two days of the contest.On the opening day, KL Rahul, who went on to score a century, was let off on 16 when the visitors didn’t take a review for a caught behind in the 11th over of the match, bowled by Ziaur Rahman.The replay confirmed Rahul had edge the ball, but the Afghanistan wicketkeeper, Afsar Zazai, wasn’t convinced enough, leading to skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi opting not to take the DRS.On the second day, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant were…
It was the sort of friendly that could easily have slipped from memory.Played early in the season against Kazakhstan, who had only recently joined Uefa, the fixture took place in front of a sold-out crowd of just 8,000 fans and on a pitch so shabby that the grass had to be painted to improve its appearance.And yet, that narrow 1-0 win in Chaves in northern Portugal has never really faded away.That is because 20 August 2003 is the day Cristiano Ronaldo’s story with the senior Portugal national team began.It would have been a stretch at the time to anticipate the…
Portugal boss Roberto Martinez believes their friendly against Chile was “a good match” to prepare for their World Cup opener. Both teams saw red in first-half stoppage-time as Portugal ran out 2-1 winners at Estadio Nacional, with Goncalo Guedes and Bruno Fernandes getting on the scoresheet for the home side. Rafael Leao was sent off just before the break for violent conduct, with Chile’s Ivan Roman also shown a red card in the same altercation as tempers flared in Lisbon. Nevertheless, Portugal came out on top when it was 10 against 10; Martinez’s side are now unbeaten in all three…
(Matchroom Boxing) SHEFFIELD, England – Rising heavyweight prospect Leo Atang made light work of Fouad Shaili at Sheffield’s Utilita Arena. The mismatch ended with Atang dispatching of the 40-year-old Shaili at 2:30 of the opener. France’s Shaili looked petrified of the hard-hitting Atang from the start, twitching whenever Atang threatened to let his hands go. Shaili kept his hands high in an attempt to protect himself whenever Atang did let those hands go, but had little success. The fleshy Frenchman was nothing but a punchbag to the 19-year-old Atang and he dealt with him accordingly. Atang smashed Shaili from pillar…
