Anthony Joshua is scheduled to meet Kubrat Pulev in London on June 20 However, the coronavirus outbreak has caused lots of sport to be postponed

                                             Anthony Joshua's heavyweight bout against Kubrat Pulev is under threat from coronavirus                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Sports promoter Barry Hearn has revealed this summer’s AJ heavyweight title defence could be cancelled due to coronavirus
The WBA (Super), WBO, IBO and IBF champion is due to fight Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev at the Tottenham Stadium on June 20.
Hearn, who also runs snooker, darts, golf, pool, fishing and bowling events under his Matchroom banner, has already seen tournaments fall by the wayside. We know we are in the s***!’ admitted Hearn. ‘We’ve got a massive fight on June 20, Anthony Joshua facing Pulev, but we don’t know whether that will happen now.
‘You don’t want to cancel big events and where possible we will play them, but this is the equivalent of a world war.
‘In all my years of sport, I’ve never encountered these unprecedented circumstances. We’ve got 650 live events this year and we’ve already had to cancel a snooker tournament in China and have now been forced to cancel pool events in North America because the situation has escalated over there. But we’ve got to be sensible and although livelihoods are at stake, you have to follow the guidelines.
‘People are still going to work, so I would ask the questions whether the whole country needs to be closed down and we suck it up.

Liverpool were knocked out of the Champions League by Atletico Madrid In 2019 they earned over £30million on their way to the final against Spurs

                                                 Liverpool's failure to reach the next stage of the Champions League could cost them £30m                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Liverpool have been through their most difficult month of the campaign, with Atletico Madrid beating them home and away in the Champions League and Chelsea knocking them out of the FA Cup. Watford also ruined their hopes of going through the Premier League season unbeaten.
It should not be forgotten, though, that Liverpool are only six points away from being crowned domestic champions for the first time since 1990 and Virgil van Dijk insists the disappointment of losing in Europe will not have a lasting impact.

Carlos Tevez scored the decisive goal as Boca Juniors won the Argentine title They beat Gimnasia 1-0 as rivals River Plate were held to a draw elsewhere Before the game, Tevez kissed Gimnasia manager Diego Maradona for good luck

                                                   A pre-match good luck kiss with Diego Maradona did the trick as Carlos Tevez scored the decisive goal to deliver Boca Juniors the Argentine Superliga title                                                                                                                                                                                                               Carlos Tevez smooched Argentine idol Diego Maradona for good luck - and then scored the dramatic late goal that clinched the league title for Boca Juniors.
On a thrilling final day of the season, Boca pipped their bitter rivals River Plate to the Superliga crown thanks to a 1-0 win over Gimnasia, the side managed by Maradona.
It was enough for them to leapfrog River, who were held 1-1 by Atletico Tucuman at the same time. Cameras picked up 36-year-old striker Tevez running over to the opposition bench before kick-off to kiss former Boca player Maradona on the mouth.
And it seemed to bring him the good fortune Boca needed as Tevez rifled home the decisive goal 18 minutes from time.
'I knew I had to kiss Diego. I was lucky that way, sometimes you have to look for luck,' said Tevez afterwards.
