Daniel Dubois stunned Anthony Joshua with a huge KO victory at Wembley on Saturday evening. Dubois, who was defending his IBF heavyweight title for the first time in front of a British record 96,000 crowd, floored Joshua three times in the opening four rounds before the 27-year-old ended the fight with a devastating counter right hand in the fifth. The first knockdown from Dubois came with a crashing overhand right hand in the final minute of the opening round which sent Joshua to the canvas. Joshua wearily made it to his feet and fortunately for him, the bell rang before…
Oleksandr Usyk believes Anthony Joshua had a major ‘problem’ with his footwork during his shock defeat to Daniel Dubois on Saturday night. Dubois successfully defended his IBF heavyweight title in front of 96,000 people at Wembley as he demolished Joshua in five rounds. Joshua was sent crashing to the canvas in all but one of the five rounds before Dubois ended the fight with a firm counter right hand. The 34-year-old, who has now suffered four defeats in his professional career, struggled to get to grips with Dubois’ power although he momentarily wobbled his opponent in the fifth round, just…

Tyson Fury has played down the significance of Anthony Joshua’s defeat to Daniel Dubois, claiming he could also have been on the receiving end of the shock defeat at Wembley. Dubois pulled off an upset in front of 96,000 people on Saturday night as he demolished Joshua in five rounds. Joshua was the strong favourite to beat Dubois in the first defence of his IBF heavyweight title, but has now faced calls to retire from boxing after taking such heavy punishment from the 27-year-old. Fury, however, has dismissed suggestions that Joshua should step away from the sport and believes credit…
Eddie Hearn has criticised Anthony Joshua for not temporarily stopping his fight with Daniel Dubois after taking a low blow. Dubois delivered a dominant display at Wembley on Saturday night as he dismantled Joshua in just five rounds in front of 96,000 fans. Joshua was knocked to the canvas in all but one of the five rounds, while Dubois finished the fight with a crunching right counter which left the 34-year-old in a heap and unable to stand. However, there was a brief halt to the fight in the penultimate round after Dubois caught Joshua with a low blow. Referee…
Mikel Arteta has a problem to solve in midfield Arsenal head to Manchester City this afternoon. Last season’s top two meet at the Etihad with City boasting a perfect record so far this term. Arsenal, have won three of four, with their only blemish that 1-1 draw at home to Brighton. The Gunners confirmed the extent of Martin Odegaard’s ankle injury this week with the Norway international expected to be out until mid-November. The club captain will miss some huge games in that period starting with the visit to the Etihad on Sunday where Arteta will again be without Mikel…
Lando Norris made one ‘unfortunate mistake’ against Max Verstappen which has had a big impact on the Formula One title race. That is the opinion of British F1 legend Nigel Mansell who has made his title prediction as the championship enters its final stages. With just seven races of the season to go, Verstappen’s lead over Norris is down to 59 points, with the Brit’s unprecedented title challenge set to go down to the wire. Red Bull no longer have the fastest car with McLaren now leading the constructors’ standings after a dramatic Azerbaijan Grand Prix where Norris recovered from…
David Raya played down his goalkeeping heroics following his man of the match display in Arsenal’s 0-0 draw against Atalanta in the Champions League. The Gunners, without injured skipper Martin Odegaard, earned a creditable point at the home of the Europea League holders but were indebted to their No.1. Spain international Raya, now firmly established as the club’s first choice between the sticks following the summer departure of Aaron Ramsdale, has been in superb form already this season. The Spain international registered his fourth clean sheet in five games last night, but only after he performed an incredible double save…
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has defended his decision to accept corporate hospitality from Arsenal Football Club, insisting it would cost the taxpayer ‘an absolute fortune’ for him to sit in the stands at the Emirates. Starmer has been an avid supporter of Arsenal since the 1980s and has been a season-ticket holder for a number of years, with the 62-year-old often pictured watching the club both home and away. However, since becoming PM, Starmer has been advised by security officials to refrain from using his normal seat, where he had previously watched the Gunners with his teenage son, Toby,…
Gian Piero Gasperini heaped praise on David Raya’s ‘fantastic’ and ‘crucial’ double-save following Atalanta’s stalemate with Arsenal in the Champions League, comparing the goalkeeper’s reflexes to those of a cat. Serie A outfit Atalanta were awarded a penalty in the 48th minute after Thomas Partey’s clumsy foul on Ederson and Mateo Retegui stepped up to take the spot-kick at in Bergamo. Raya got down low to his right-hand side to deny Retegui’s initial effort before quickly returning to his feet to keep out the forward’s headed rebound and keep the scoreline goalless. It proved the standout moment from an otherwise…
Mikel Arteta praised Riccardo Calafiori after the summer signing made an impressive cameo appearance as a second half substitute against Atalanta. The Italy international has had to bide his time for opportunities since his arrival from Bologna in the summer and missed the north London derby as a result of the calf injury he picked up playing for his country a fortnight ago. Jurrien Timber, whose first season with Arsenal was wiped out due to a knee injury, has made a convincing bid to nail down the left-back spot this season, but is likely to face increased competition from Calafiori…
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has revealed that Alisson is a doubt for the side’s upcoming Premier League clash with Bournemouth due to a muscle injury. Alisson has started all four of Liverpool’s top-flight matches this season and played the full 90 minutes of the Merseyside giants’ 3-1 victory over AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night. The 31-year-old goalkeeper complained of a muscle issue prior to the win but played through the discomfort as goals from Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai got Liverpool’s European campaign off to the perfect start at the San Siro.…
Newcastle striker Alexander Isak is a doubt for Saturday’s trip to Fulham which could see the Magpies go top of the Premier League. The 24-year-old suffered eye and foot injuries during last Sunday’s 2-1 win at Wolves and Anthony Gordon is standing by to deputise in a central role. Asked how the Sweden international was, head coach Eddie Howe said: ‘Good question, I’ll find out more today. ‘It was a strange one with his eye. The ball just grazed his eye and we felt at that time, that was the main reason for him coming off the pitch. ‘Then he…

Arsenal are preparing for a battle to keep Takehiro Tomiyasu and have set their asking price amid interest for the defender. Arsenal’s solid start to the new Premier League season has been predicated on their impregnable defence, with Mikel Arteta’s side conceding just one goal in their first four games. The Gunners boosted their defensive options further in the summer window with the £42million signing of Riccardo Calafiori, although the Italian is yet to make his first start for the club. Tomiyasu, however, has not been seen in Arteta’s back four so far this season as he continues his rehabilitation…
Paul Merson has warned Arsenal central defenders Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba they cannot afford to fall asleep for a second in Sunday’s summit meeting against Manchester City. The top two in each of the last two seasons are already leading the way again ahead of this weekend’s fixtures. Arsenal took four points of the champions last term and kept clean sheets in both Premier League fixtures against Pep Guardiola’s relentless winning machine. Mikel Arteta’s men were, however, criticised and accused of playing for the goalless draw they secured during the run-in last term but are likely to employ similar…
David Moyes has been linked with a remarkable move for his next role after his agent put him forward for the AC Milan job. The Scot has been out of work since leaving West Ham at the end of last season but it seems like he has no plans to head into retirement just yet. The 61-year-old has been linked with a return to former club Everton if Sean Dyche loses his job in the near future, but he fancies a more glamorous role than Goodison Park. Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Moyes’ name has been put forward…
Crystal Palace youngster Samuel Lusale appears to have confirmed his impending move to Premier League rivals Manchester United. Palace bosses had high hopes for Lusale as he rose through the club’s academy ranks but the 17-year-old rejected the offer of a scholarship deal at Selhurst Park earlier this summer. The teenage winger had been with Palace since the age of just 13 and was involved in Palace’s FA Youth Cup squad last season. With regulations imposed by Brexit blocking English teams from signing youngsters from overseas, United’s new-look hierarchy – driven by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and sporting director Dan…
Sean Dyche has addressed Everton’s lengthy injury list ahead of their trip to Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. It’s been a disastrous start to the season for the Toffees as they sit bottom of the table with four defeats from four league games. Losses to Brighton, Tottenham, Bournemouth and Aston Villa have seen Dyche’s side score four goals but concede a mammoth 13! Everton’s only win has come over Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup, but they have now been eliminated from that competition after a penalty shootout loss to Southampton on Tuesday night. A number…
