Fury dominated from start to finish in the greatest victory of an English boxer abroad in boxing history The 30-year-old broke into a rendition of American Pie to a jubilant Las Vegas audience in the MGM Grand

                                   The 30-year-old has his arm raised to the Las Vegas sky by referee Kenny Bayless after a truly remarkable performanceFury has now completed a full set of the world heavyweight belts by adding Wilder's WBC title and the Ring Magazine accolade to the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO prizes he held previously after defeating Wladimir Klitschko. Fury had held since the fight was announced. But Fury relished the role of the underdog.
Both men arrived early with the arena barely a third full for the preliminary bouts. So as the big screens picked them up walking to their dressing rooms there were muted cheers from the early birds for Fury, in one of his suits of many colours, and just isolated cries of 'Bomber' for Wilder in dark kit.
Wilder's party seemed to get lost en route from his penthouse suite in the MGM and they took him and his fiancée on a ten to 15 minute march from the bottom of the elevator, through the thronged hotel lobby and around the inner corridors of the Grand Garden to reach his billet.

Tyson Fury pulled off the greatest victory for any English boxer abroad as he stopped America's KO king Deontay Wilder with an utterly dominant, devastating performance.

Barcelona players donned Ousmane Dembele shirts ahead of the Getafe match Stars including Lionel Messi wore the number 11 shirts back to front at Nou Camp

                                                Stars including Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann wore the number 11 shirts on to the pitch                                           The 22-year-old had been out of action since November with a thigh injury and suffered another major setback in training last week.
He flew to Finland for surgery but has been rule out for six months with a hamstring tear.
in a show of support for the youngster, Barcelona FC tweeted: '#CourageDembélé. Keep your head up, Ousmane!'
La Liga English added: 'Not just a club, a family.' As well as Dembele, Luis Suarez is also facing an extended period on the sidelines, leaving Barcelona depleted of options in attack.
Boss Quique Setien yesterday commented on the ongoing speculation surrounding his side's attempts to bring in a new striker as cover for the injury-hit forward line.

Chelsea have drawn Ajax, Valencia and Lille in their Champions League group, Frank Lampard's side have only won one of their four matches so far this season

                                       Frank Lampard was handed a relatively easy Champions League group for his Chelsea side                                                       The Blues were not able to sign one anyone new in the summer as they are currently under a transfer ban. 
Lampard's side have only won one of their four matches so far this season. It was hard not feel sorry for Ajax when Tottenham's incredible comeback denied them a place in last season's final. Erik ten Hag's talented crop of youngsters beat Real Madrid and Juventus en-route to the semi-finals and Ajax have since lost two of the key men from that famous run.

Sadio Mane's 100th goal in English football extends Reds' lead at the top of the Premier League to 25 points

                                  Mane latched onto Jordan Henderson's brilliant long range pass on 78 minutes before firing past Tim Krul to seal the win                                                           The Premier League’s top team beat the bottom team with a brilliant goal from second half substitute Sadio Mane, returning after injury. ‘We shall not be moved,’ the Liverpool fans sang delightedly, over and over again after their 1-0 win. They have earned the right to celebrate over these last 30 years of hurt. Storm Dennis frustrated them for a while and threatened to knock them out of their stride with the challenges it presented to their passing. And Norwich did their bit with some fine football of their own. But there is an inevitability about Liverpool winning these days. It is, after all, October 20 since they last dropped a point.

 It was curtain call for John Obi Mikel popularly known as ‘Mikel as he bowed out of international football after fourteen years of active service to the nation. He finally called it quits with the Super Eagles after an outing at the African Cup of Nations hosted in the land of the Pharaohs that saw Nigeria picking the bronze medal. The secrets of men they say are in their stories, before your very eyes are ten incredible facts about the young lad who joined the circle of football legends that you probably weren’t told
1 Michael is Mikel’s Name
Though called the name Mikel by friends and foes alike, his full name was John Michael Nchekwube Obinna but launched himself to the world as John Mikel Obi at the U-17 World Cup in Finland in the year 2003
2 First Nations Cup, Egypt, Last Nations Cup, Egypt
It is more than a coincidence to say that his first ever African Cup of Nations outing was in Egypt where he helped the Super Eagles win a bronze medal so was his last African Cup of Nations outing was in Egypt where he also won a bronze medal and believe it or not people, the coach of the bronze winning team was also the same coach who fielded him as a junior national team player three years earlier, former Super Eagles coach and captain, Austin Eguavoen

Mikel Obi unbelievably played under three Super Eagle Coaches, Austin Eguavoen, Samson Siasia and Late Stephen Keshi who also played in the Super Eagles and were among the trio that won the second African title in Tunisia 1994

Both Mikel and Messi played at the FIFA World Youth Championship in 2005, they both met at the World Cup in 2014 and 2018 respectively yet Mikel has one point above Messi and that is a continental silverware.

6 Super Eagles ‘Golden Boys’ Who Won Bronze


    The African Nations Cup may have come to an end but its memories are far from being over. This article puts on the spot light five golden boys of the Super Eagles who have won bronze for the national team
1 Reuben Omojola Folasanje Agboola
The Kwara born corner kick specialist was a revelation in Clemence Westerhof’s squad of 1991 becoming the first non-Nigerian born to play for the Super Eagles whom he donned the green and white for nine times without a goal. His biggest achievement was a bronze medal which he won with the squad at the African Cup of Nations in 1992 hosted by Senegal.

Lampard is the only man capable of altering the atmosphere at Chelsea

                                                 If Chelsea look to bring in another manager then Frank Lampard would be an excellent option                                                    Chelsea managers are in trouble the moment Champions Leaguequalification is in danger and the noise surrounding him is not without foundation. He is in trouble.
So what happens next? If they are going to make a change, the only man I could see altering the atmosphere around the place is Frank Lampard. Sometimes, appointing the polar opposite of your previous manager works and why couldn't that be the case with Frank?
I understand the risks that come with being Chelsea manager — it's not a position that offers long-term security — and I also appreciate why plenty of people would see it as a gamble for both sides: Frank lacks experience on the touchline, Chelsea want someone who will win immediately.. Who thought Manchester United had made an error turning to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer before his first game? Now he looks like he's been in the role his whole life.
Football is all about timing and opportunity. Some say Lampard should wait before returning to the club where he is the record goalscorer — but what makes them think the opportunity will always be there? Things change quickly in this industry and chances don't always come a second time.
People can talk about him serving his apprenticeship but sometimes you have to be ready to make the jump. I know how ambitious Frank is. He is doing an excellent job at Derby but the dream will be to go back to west London.
