Kamaru Usman’s dominance in the welterweight division has been staggering over the past couple of years, which has left him short of contenders willing to come forward. He has either beaten the best of the division, or those that he hasn’t beaten haven’t looked towards making the fight happen. However, one star that is certainly not shying away from demanding a title opportunity against the dominant Usman is fifth-ranked fighter Stephen Thompson, who has begged that the reigning champion look to face someone new when speaking on What The Heck.

A decision will need to be made soon whether his target of winning a boxing world title outweighs his desire to top the…
Monday Night Raw took place last night, and it was a hugely eventful show.

Bobby Lashley became the number one contender for the WWE Championship, and he will come up against The Miz next week. However, while a new contender for the male title was named, it was also revealed that a very serious threat to Asuka’s Women’s title reign will also be debuting on Raw…
It’s fair to say that there is no love lost between New Zealand heavyweight rivals Junior Fa and Joseph Parker. The two stars are set to square off on Saturday evening in Auckland, which is a homecoming for both stars as they both grew up in the same local town.

The argument was kickstarted by Fa’s trainer, who claimed that Parker will be going into the fight with an advantage, since one of the judges from…
There was a historic moment that aired on the WWE Network last night, as The Miz cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to become a two-time WWE Champion. Unquestionably, there is no doubt that the A-Lister deserves another run as the champion on the red brand, and the timing could be something that makes sense. But, is it only a matter of time before Drew McIntyre wins the WWE Championship back? Or could there be something else in store for the Scot at WrestleMania this year?

There was a shocking result in the boxing action on Saturday evening, as Josh Kelly’s perfect boxing record was ended at the hands of a brutal stoppage victory for David Avanesyan. It was a stunning display by the Russian underdog, but he was truly deserving of the victory, as he knocked down the British fighter on two separate occasions in the bout. The victory meant that Kelly has now lost for a first time as a professional, and Avanesyan had successfully reclaimed his European Welterweight title in the process. Boxing News: Dramatic End To Delayed Contest The two fighters have…
It was a memorable evening in the Premier League on Saturday night, as Everton ended their 21-year wait for a win at Anfield by beating Liverpool 2-0 in the Merseyside derby. Liverpool’s season continues to go from bad to worse with another defeat, as they have now lost four straight games at home.That is the first time they have gone on that kind of run since 1923.

It will be the go-home show for SmackDown tonight before the Elimination Chamber PPV, and there promises to be a number of interesting segments and matches taking place before various superstars step into a formidable structure on Sunday evening. But, what surprises could we see on SmackDown this evening? WWE SmackDown: Sasha Banks Finally Turns Heel There isn’t much of a secret that the WWE are heading down the…
There were slight fears that the prestige of the card at UFC Vegas 21 was going to be diminished after it was announced that Khamzat Chimaev would no longer be able to take on Leon Edwards. However, there was welcome news last night, as it was revealed on social media that a new challenger has stepped up to take on the British welterweight on short notice, as Edwards would now be taking on Belal Muhammad in Sin City on the 13th March.

There have been constant rumours since the arrival of Pep Guardiola at Manchester City that the club could be set to make a move for legendary forward Lionel Messi. However, there has been additional fuel added to the fire over the past six months or so, as the Argentinean pushed for a move away from the Catalonian club, before later backtracking after realising that there wasn’t a clause in his contract that allowed him to leave for free.
