Zion Suzuki believes Aston Villa is the “right club to start my first journey in the Premier League”. The goalkeeper completed a £30m (€35m) move to Villa Park from Parma on Wednesday, with Emiliano Martinez expected to leave the club this summer. The 23-year-old made 22 appearances for Parma last term, keeping six clean sheets and recording a goals prevented figure of -0.63. Suzuki could make his Villa debut when Unai Emery’s side begin their 2026-27 Premier League campaign on Sunday against Brighton. The Japan international is excited at the prospect of playing in the Premier League and competing for trophies…
Bangladesh Cricket Board President Tamim Iqbal has confirmed that this season’s edition of the Bangladesh Premier League will not be held citing various issues from previous seasons including allegations of match-fixing and corruption.“I don’t think so. The BPL will not happen this year,” Tamim told reporters at an event in Mirpur.“If I was a player, I’d be disheartened too,” Tamim added.ALSO READ: Sam Curran to undergo groin surgery, misses out on Test return“But they also know that this tournament should be staged in a way that the BCB can be proud of.

“I wouldn’t normally reply to you but just to put your insignificant pea brain at rest, our Addendum sent to SELA includes NOT ONE of the points mentioned in your tweet 😂” said Hearn on X to Glaser. The “pea brain” line is entertaining, but the distinction Hearn made may be more important. He only said those items were not included in the addendum sent to Sela, leaving open the possibility that Matchroom raised them elsewhere. That becomes interesting when compared with Pugmire’s BoxingScene article, which separated the Fury-Joshua addendum from earlier communications between Matchroom and Sela. The article from…
BoxingScene reports that Matchroom wants Sela to oversee the production instead of Zuffa Boxing, payment of Joshua’s outstanding purse from the Kristian Prenga fight, and standard guarantees covering tickets, security and transportation. The proposed package may also give Matchroom considerable influence over the undercard, with Jesse Rodriguez-Christian Medina, Jack Catterall-Keyshawn Davis and Murat Gassiev-Jarrell Miller among the unsigned fights being discussed. Teremoana Jnr and Odel Kamara may receive preliminary places. Separate communications reviewed by BoxingScene included Matchroom requests involving payments for darts, snooker, the Ronnie O’Sullivan Academy and previous boxing events. An official insisted those items are not part of…
(Geoffrey Knott / Matchroom) LAS VEGAS – Asking Rolly Romero a question is a lot like fighting him. You never know what you’re going to get. The WBA welterweight champion returns to the ring for the first time in more than 15 months Saturday night when the enigmatic Las Vegas product defends his belt against former two-division champion Teofimo Lopez at T-Mobile Arena. Holding court with the public and reporters at his media workout, the former 135lbs interim champion and ex-WBA 140lbs titlist entertained throughout his narrative of how we got here, expressing astoundment at the accomplishment. “I’ve had 35…

“This is the time to put up or shut up. If he doesn’t wanna stand on what he’s said about my style, he’ll have to pay in the ring.” Hernandez and Veron participated in Wednesday’s media workout for the Teofimo Lopez versus Rolando “Rolly” Romero pay-per-view card in Las Vegas. “This is one thing to call the devil, but it’s another thing when he arrives.” The size difference gives Hernandez an immediate advantage. He is the heavier, more imposing fighter and may have enough power to prevent Veron from taking chances at close range. Veron does not believe those physical…
Arsenal have spent some of the summer making space in a squad that delivered their first Premier League title in 22 years. Mikel Arteta has not overseen a mass clearout, but several senior players have moved on as the champions attempt to refresh without stripping away the depth behind their strongest side. Leandro Trossard has been the most notable departure, with the Belgian joining Besiktas for an initial £15.3 million rising to £17 million. Trossard was rarely guaranteed a starting place, yet his ability to operate across the front line made him one of Arteta’s most useful attacking options. His…
Unification remains the champion’s priority, but he kept the Kambosos fight available if an agreement with Haney cannot be completed. “My goal first and foremost is unification fights,” Paro told Code Sports. “I know I’m at that top level. I’d love to take out Devin Haney and unify the welterweight division. But if unifications aren’t on the table just yet, and the fans wanted to see an all-Aussie showdown with George Kambosos, I’m open to that too. George would need to handle business first, get a win, and then maybe we can talk, as I hold all the cards.” That…
Virgil van Dijk insisted “everyone is up for the challenge” in Liverpool’s squad, and he vowed to make amends for an “unacceptable” campaign last season. Liverpool begin their 2026-27 Premier League campaign this Sunday away to Newcastle United, with Andoni Iraola taking charge of his first competitive match for the Reds. Iraola’s appointment came this summer after Liverpool decided to part ways with Arne Slot just 12 months on from leading the club to their 20th top-flight title. The Reds finished fifth last season and only secured a spot in the Champions League on the final day with a 1-1…
