It has been a long time coming, but Leon Edwards will make his long-awaited return to the octagon this weekend, as he takes on Belal Muhammad in the main event at Fight Night. There had been hope that the next time we saw the British fighter would have been in a contest against Khamzat Chimaev. However, that fight looks as though it is doomed, as it has already been called off on three previous occasions. The fight was called off for the final time earlier in the year, as the Russian was still suffering with the effects of COVID-19. UFC…
The celebrity boxing event between Ben Askren and Jake Paul looks set to be one of the biggest of its type, and that has been highlighted by a pretty decent looking undercard. The fight between the YouTuber and former UFC star will take place on the 17th April, and will be taking place at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

It has been an excellent couple of months for Roman Reigns, as the Big Dog returned to the company as a monster hell and aligned with Paul Heyman. It was one of the great swerves that fans didn’t see coming last year, and has led to Reigns being the biggest star in the company. Soon after his return, Reigns became the Universal Champion, and that hasn’t looked like changing despite a number of classic defences over the last couple of months. But, the latest odds have teased that a new champion could soon be crowned. WWE News: Edge Favourite To…
Mike Tyson and Dana White both appeared on a podcast this week talking about Jake Paul’s credentials in the ring, which left White being so sure of his stance that he was willing to bet $1 million that Paul would lose his upcoming fight against Ben Askren. The whole saga left Tyson in stitches, as he could be heard laughing while the whole exchange between the UFC president and Zab Judah was taking place. But, Tyson also revealed that he didn’t think much of Paul’s chances either and claimed that he wasn’t a boxer. UFC News: White Can’t See Past…
It has been another couple of weeks, and still there has been no word regarding whether the title unification fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury is any closer to being agreed. There have been conflicting reports over the last couple of weeks, with some claiming that the deal has been agreed, with each fighter getting a share of £100 million, while other reports have downplayed the truth in those stories. As yet, there has been no official announcement regarding whether the fight will happen, which looks to have irritated the management of heavyweight hopeful Oleksandr Usyk. Boxing News: Usyk…
The Champions League remains the best sporting competition in the world for high-quality drama, and there was more evidence of that on display as Juventus were stunningly knocked out of the competition at the hands of Portuguese champions FC Porto. The Portuguese side travelled to Turin with a narrow 2-1 lead from the first leg two weeks ago, but many expected Cristiano Ronaldo to turn on the style and save the Old Lady from another embarrassing knockout defeat in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. However, the superstar failed to deliver the performance required from him in an action-packed…
It has been announced that Megan Anderson is no longer with the UFC. The women’s featherweight contender last fought at UFC 259 this past weekend, as she was beaten by Amanda Nunes in the first round of their contest. According to the reports, the fight against Nunes was the last fight on her deal, and the decision was made to not renew the contract. Something that Anderson revealed was down to the UFC scrapping the weight class. However, those comments were played down by the company, as they stated that the women’s featherweight division remains an integral part. UFC News:…
