21 days ago The Mirror

Riakporhe is looking to secure a world title shot when he takes on leading contender Krzysztof Glowacki at the AO Manchester Arena this Saturday night. A fight with the latter could see him look to unify the division with 'The Sauce' currently holding the WBO world title. "I want all of them, every domestic fight I feel like I can do it. In fact I am more motivated to fight in them domestic fights, because there is pride and ego all in one.

Taking the knee has come and gone again but football's racism issues still exist

Clusters of fans up and down the country began booing the gesture, while some black players stopped taking the knee due to the lack of real work going on behind the scenes to address the issues being protested about. Only this past weekend did we see a spate of racial abuse aimed at black players - Brentford’s Ivan Toney and Luton’s Elijah Adebayo, as well as West Ham Women’s player Haha Cissoko, were all targeted. According to figures from Black Footballers Partnership (BFP) research published earlier this year, black players make up 43 per cent of Premier League players, while roughly one in three across the EFL are from the black community.

Man City women's boss Gareth Taylor delivers rallying cry ahead of must-win clash

Despite trouncing bottom-club Leicester 4-0 last Sunday, City boss Gareth Taylor is under pressure to take maximum points from their clash in the capital with Tottenham, the first of six intriguing WSL match-ups this weekend. After falling to defeat against champions Chelsea two weeks ago, Taylor admitted four defeats are the most a title-chasing team could feasibly allow. City haemorrhaged a raft of experienced stars over the summer, including Real Madrid ’s Caroline Weir who haunted her former side by scoring the decisive goal to knock them out of Champions League qualifying. In the final year of his contract, ex-City forward Taylor played down the pressure on his side going into the clash.

Under the current legislation, a "minor" breach is could constitute anything up to five per cent over the cap.
