The last time Conor McGregor was declared the winner of a professional fight, he seemingly cemented his legacy. The ‘Notorious’ stopped Eddie Alvarez by TKO in the second round and after the fight called himself the ‘champ champ’. Already in possession of the featherweight championship, he added the lightweight title with that victory in November 2016. Riding high as the self-professed face of fighting, what followed one of the most glorious nights of the Irishman’s career was a swift fall fro

After being named head coach of the Green Bay Packers for the 2019 season, Matt LaFleur was seemingly at odds with Aaron Rodgers during this year's preseason. Quarterback Rodgers - at 35, a seven-time Pro-Bowler, two-time regular season MVP and Super Bowl XLV MVP - had bemoaned his lack of control over the offense within the new coach's scheme. This would have had warning lights flashing for the Packers organisation. Rodgers had often clashed with former head coach Mike McCarthy in his final t

A leading figure from Kick It Out has labelled grassroots football in this country as the “wild, wild west” in regards to the level of discrimination that takes place at that level and has even gone as far as calling for parents who are found of guilty of abusive behaviour to be banned from watching their children play. Troy Townsend, Kick It Out’s development officer, was speaking on the day that the anti-discrimination organisation released figures which showed reports of discrimination acros

Arsenal have confirmed the arrival of the Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos on a season-long loan and bought William Saliba from Saint-Étienne in Ligue 1 for a fee rising to €30m (£26.9m) before loaning him back to the French club.

Ceballos captained Spain Under‑21s to European championship glory in June and

Peaty became the first man to go under 57 seconds when he shattered his own world mark with a time of 56.88 in the semi-finals on Sunday in Gwangju, South Korea.

English attacking midfielder made 20 appearances for Juventus in the 1948/49 season. David Platt, Ian Rush and William Jordan make up the other British players in Juventus’ history and all five have had very differing careers with the Italian club. He will become the just the sixth British and Irish player to play for the Italian giants and will hope to write his name in their history books alongside the likes of Liam Brady and Welsh legend John Charles.

Mayweather and Pacquiao added to the belief that a rematch could be on the cards when they met at an NBA game, much like they had done prior to their 2015 fight being agreed. The fight, despite reportedly holding less interest, is set to make big money if it does go ahead. Dan Rafael of ESPN believes the fight would still sell over two million Pay-Per-View buys. The last fight between the two sold a record breaking 4.6 million Pay-Per-View buys, making in excess of $400m (£347m) - though this
