Vegetable is one of the six units introduced by Update 1.0 in Anime Expeditions. Belonging to the Mythic rarity, its abilities and character model are inspired by Vegeta from the Dragon Ball anime and manga series. During battles, its potential is overly reliant on nearby allies and their actions. As other units within its range perform regular attacks, critical hits, or follow-up attacks, the Vegeta-inspired unit builds up substantial and permanent stat boosts.
Courtesy of these stacking buffs, Vegetable is a solid choice for long gamemodes like Raid and Tournament. This guide covers its obtainment, evolution, and passives in Anime Expeditions.

Prince’s Pursuit
Enemies that leave this unit’s range will take 10% of its current damage.
Royal Rivalry

For every critical attack from another unit while it is in range of Vegetable (Prince), increase this unit’s Critical Chance by 10% (capacity: 50%).
For every Follow-Up Attack from another unit while it is in range of Vegetable (Prince), increase this unit’s Critical Damage by 10% (capacity: 30%).

When Patience is emptied, Vegetable (Prince) transforms into Vegetable Transformation.
Another Wil has now made his way to Victoria and is expected to commence his latest campaign in the PB Lawrence Stakes at Caulfield.
The seven-year-old arrived from Sydney last Saturday morning at trainer Ciaron Maher’s Ballarat stable. A decision on his participation on Saturday will be made after some work on Tuesday.
Joining Another Wil on the journey from Sydney were Light Infantry Man and Warnie.
Light Infantry Man is entered for the PB Lawrence on Saturday, along with a benchmark 100 handicap over 1600 metres. Warnie also holds an entry in the PB Lawrence and a nomination for the Regal Roller Stakes (1200m).

Kings Valley completes a quartet of entries for Saturday’s Group 2 1400m weight-for-age event, with a nomination also in a benchmark 90 handicap over 1400m.
Jack Turnbull, the National Assistant Trainer for Ciaron Maher Racing, indicated that the Sydney team was satisfied with Another Wil’s preparation for his potential Saturday return.
Another Wil had three runs in Queensland, finishing fourth in the Group 1 Kingsford Smith Cup at Eagle Farm second-up, before running last in the Stradbroke Handicap on a very wet Eagle Farm before his spell.
“We’ll probably give him a little bit of work on Tuesday, but he’s pretty much ready to go and then he can come to Cranbourne,” Turnbull said.

“He ran a really good race up in Queensland and because he had to go two weeks, two weeks, it probably just knocked the edge off him, and he was also on a very heavy track as well last time.
“He had six months off and then to come back and run the way he did, you know that he’s going to have improvement into this preparation.
“He spelled up there (Queensland), had some sun on his back, and we know he’s a very good horse at his best.”
A winner of nine of his 21 starts, including the Group 1 CF Orr Stakes over Saturday’s course and distance, Another Wil had only two starts last spring prior to spending more than six months on the sidelines.

“He had a couple of small niggles, and it was like he lost confidence and he got really keen, and when he was keen, he was running his races upside down and wasn’t finishing off,” Turnbull explained.
“He seems to have softened and relaxed a bit and at his best, and if he can get back to his best, he can mix it with the best milers.
“The beauty with a horse like him, there are so many options, and we may have to get a little bit crafty as to where we place him with his handicap mark.”
Kings Valley is on a path towards the Caulfield Cup, having secured a ballot exemption by winning the Mornington Cup in April.

Turnbull mentioned that Kings Valley is still supporting his winter coat and is being aimed to peak on Caulfield Cup Day in October.
“He’s quite a keen horse fresh and we’re conscious of that, but he’s likely to have four runs into the Caulfield Cup,” Turnbull said.
“He’s got his winter jacket on him, coming from Ballarat, but he was late last season dropping his coat.
“He’s going OK and it will be when we get him to a mile and further is when we will see him.”

“Light Infantry Man and Warnie both came down with Another Wil and are entered in a couple of races, and we’ll work out what suits them best.”
Among the 18 nominations for Saturday’s Group 2 PB Lawrence Stakes are the Chris Waller trio Ohope Wins, Soul Of Spain and Wootton Verni, along with Desert Lightning and Evaporate.

The Delhi High Court has refused to grant bail to Olympian Sushil Kumar in the alleged murder case of former junior national wrestling champion Sagar Dhankar.
Justice Purushaindra Kumar dismissed the celebrated wrestler’s bail application on August 6, citing concerns over influencing witnesses raised by the Supreme Court when it cancelled his earlier bail, his conduct prior to arrest, the gravity of the offence and his capacity to influence the ongoing trial’s outcome.
The judge emphasised that while bail is ordinarily the rule and jail the exception, the offence in the present case was a “premeditated and gruesome assault resulting in death”, which is corroborated by recovery of a firearm, video evidence and a large body of material yet to be tested at trial.
Advertisement
Seeking relief, the counsel for the accused alleged that the deceased’s father, whose complaint led to the earlier cancellation of bail, has not supported the prosecution’s case in the trial.
It was therefore contended that the “change in circumstances”, along with the fact that Kumar had been in custody for over five years and only formal and official witnesses were left to be examined, entitled him to regular bail.
Delhi Police and Dhankar’s father opposed the bail application.
The court noted that the characterisation of Dhankar’s father’s testimony as unsupportive of the prosecution was disputed.
Advertisement
It further said that the Supreme Court, while cancelling the earlier bail, proceeded on the finding that Kumar had a considerable societal standing and influence and witnesses turned hostile every time he was extended temporary liberty.
” Whether the deposition of Ashok Dhankad (deceased’s father) does or does not support the prosecution is, moreover, a matter of appreciation of evidence that must await the outcome by the trial court. It cannot be treated as a change in circumstances sufficient to unlock the door that the Supreme Court closed,” the court said.
“In these circumstances, this court is not persuaded that the petitioner has made out a case either for a genuine change in circumstances within the meaning of the liberty reserved by the Supreme Court, or, independently, for the grant of regular bail,” it concluded.
Kumar was arrested in May 2021 and a sessions court granted him a week’s interim bail for his knee surgery on July 19, 2023.
Advertisement
On August 13, 2025, the Supreme Court cancelled bail to Kumar in the case by setting aside a high court order, noting that his “domineering influence” over witnesses or delaying the trial proceedings cannot be ruled out.
The high court had granted bail on March 4, 2025.
On February 6, a trial court refused to grant bail to Kumar, saying the possibility that the accused may influence witnesses “cannot be ruled out”.
The trial court, in October 2022, framed charges against Kumar under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections dealing with murder, criminal conspiracy, intimidation and rioting with a deadly weapon.

Charges were also framed under the provisions of the Arms Act.
The trial court had noted that after being abducted and brought to the stadium, Dhankar was severely assaulted by several accused persons with baseball and hockey sticks.
US President Donald Trump has thrown his support behind FIFA president Gianni Infantino, warning the world football governing body that replacing the Swiss administrator would be a “terrible mistake” amid growing pressure for his removal.
Trump’s intervention comes after Infantino faced widespread criticism over a controversial proposal to sell stakes in future World Cup and Club World Cup revenues to private investors. Although the plan has since been withdrawn, the proposal has intensified scrutiny of Infantino’s leadership and triggered opposition from several football confederations.

Trump backs Infantino amid growing pressure
Trump expressed his support for Infantino in a post on his Truth Social platform, praising the FIFA president’s leadership and claiming the World Cup would not achieve the same level of success or profitability without him.
“FIFA would be making a terrible mistake if, for any reason, they even considered replacing President Gianni Infantino,” Trump wrote.
Advertisement
He described Infantino as “fantastic” and credited him with presiding over what he called the most successful World Cup ever staged.
Trump’s comments come at a sensitive time for Infantino, who has faced mounting opposition following the fallout from the investment proposal.
Advertisement
Why is Infantino facing backlash?
The controversy centres on a FIFA proposal to create a subsidiary company that could be valued at around $20 billion and sell shares linked to the World Cup and Club World Cup.
Advertisement
The plan, which was first reported after details emerged in the media, was criticised because member associations and several football authorities were reportedly not consulted before it was put forward.
Opponents argued that FIFA’s flagship competition should not effectively become an investment asset for private capital.
Advertisement
The proposal was subsequently withdrawn, but the controversy has continued to fuel calls for greater transparency and accountability within FIFA.
Several continental football bodies and influential figures have since expressed opposition to Infantino, with some pushing for a change in FIFA’s leadership.
Advertisement
Trump and Infantino’s close relationship
Trump’s public intervention also adds another layer to the controversy because of his long-standing relationship with Infantino.
Advertisement
The two have developed a close association over recent years, with their relationship attracting attention during the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Trump’s latest comments came only days after he said he had no prior knowledge of Infantino’s plan to commercialise stakes in World Cup-related assets.
Advertisement
That position had raised questions given the close relationship between the two men and reports surrounding the proposed investment structure.
Links to the proposed investment plan
Advertisement
The proposed investment vehicle was reportedly linked to Thrive Capital, the venture capital firm founded and led by Joshua Kushner, the brother of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Reports had suggested that Thrive Capital could play a leading role in the proposed investor group, while there were also claims that officials from the Trump administration had been consulted about the project.
Advertisement
Trump, however, said he was not aware of the proposal before it became public.
The connection has added further political and financial scrutiny to a proposal that FIFA eventually withdrew.
Advertisement
Infantino’s World Cup legacy under scrutiny
Infantino’s supporters point to the commercial success and global expansion of the World Cup during his tenure as evidence of his leadership.
Advertisement
Trump echoed that argument in his latest message, saying Infantino had just overseen the most successful World Cup and warning that FIFA could struggle to replicate those results if he were removed.
The 2026 tournament was the first World Cup to feature 48 teams and was jointly hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico.
Advertisement
However, Infantino’s critics argue that FIFA’s growing commercial ambitions must be accompanied by greater transparency, particularly when major financial decisions involve the organisation’s biggest competitions.
What happens next?
Advertisement
Although the controversial investment proposal has been withdrawn, the debate surrounding Infantino’s leadership is unlikely to disappear immediately.
Trump’s intervention could add another dimension to the dispute, particularly given the political and commercial significance of the United States to FIFA and the organisation’s relationship with the US administration.
Advertisement
For now, Infantino retains his position, while the controversy has shifted from the proposed investment itself to wider questions over governance, transparency and the future direction of FIFA.
The Big 12 doesn’t get respect on the national stage.
In some ways, it’s deserved. Last year, Texas Tech’s ugly Playoff performance against Oregon damaged the league’s reputation.
But the national narrative misses what makes the league different: its competitiveness. Every game is a battle, and the margins are razor thin.
There’s a Playoff spot up for grabs and every season is wide open. A program can quickly rise or fall over a short span of years.
Advertisement
Here’s my preview for the 2026 Big 12 Season.
Projected Conference Champion, Runner-Up, and Contenders
Champion:BYU
Bear Bachmeier enters his sophomore year after leading BYU to 12 wins as a true freshman.
The Cougars are 15-3 in conference games over the last two seasons and are 23-4 overall. Translation: Kalani Sitake is cooking. The combination of the NIL era and the transition out of independence has supercharged the program.
Now, BYU is a powerhouse in the Big 12. Bachmeier’s development should be the catalyst that pushes the Cougars to the Playoff in 2026.
Advertisement
Runner Up:Texas Tech
The Brendan Sorsby situation has been a disaster for Texas Tech. Not only did they lose their expected starting quarterback, but the entire college football world has collectively turned against them.
Nobody was brought in as a late replacement, leaving a significant question at the quarterback position. Will Hammond might be the answer. But his injury history and lack of experience are concerning.
Still, the rest of the roster should be elite. There’s nobody that can pay the way Texas Tech does. Money talks. And builds a strong roster.
Contender:Houston
The Cougars won 10 games last year in Willie Fritz’s second season. And starting quarterback Conner Weigman is back. But nobody is talking about Houston.
Advertisement
The program was a dumpster fire before Fritz took over. It only took two seasons to get to double-digit wins. Imagine what Year Three will bring.
Before coming to Houston, he led Tulane to 12 wins in 2022 and 11 in 2023. The guy just wins games. Look for Houston to compete for a Big 12 Championship this season.
Contender:Utah
Utah QB Devon Dampier | Isaac Hale/Deseret News
Morgan Scalley takes over as head coach after waiting in the wings for years. Since 2016, Scalley had been Utah’s defensive coordinator and helped shape the identity of the program.
Now, he’s the lead man and returns star quarterback Devon Dampier. Named the 2025 Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year, Dampier led the Utes to 11 wins last season.
The transition from Kyle Whittingham wasn’t exactly clean-cut. But it’s water under the bridge. The expectations around Utah are real. The new era begins.
Advertisement
Contender:Arizona
Noah Fifita | Orlando Ramirez/Getty Images
Noah Fifita enters his redshirt senior season with momentum. The Wildcats won nine games last year and return coordinators on both sides of the ball. Wide receiver Tre Spivey is set for a productive year and could emerge as a star.
But there are questions on defense. The secondary lost several key players that must be replaced. Brent Brennan did his part by keeping defensive coordinator Danny Gonzales on the staff.
If contributors step up in the defensive backfield, Arizona could be competitive in the Big 12 title race.
The Rest of the Big 12
Arizona State
Kenny Dillingham | Joe Rondone/The Republic
Kenny Dillingham hit the portal hard over the offseason. Arizona State’s transfer class is ranked No. 22 nationally, per 247Sports. But all eyes are on the quarterback.
Sam Leavitt left for LSU, and Dillingham brought in two transfers. Cutter Boley started 11 games for Kentucky and compiled a 4-7 record. Mikey Keene has 35 starts to his name after spending two years at UCF and two years at Fresno State.
Getting the quarterback battle resolved early in the season will be crucial. Because if the questions at quarterback are answered, ASU has the roster to be competitive in every Big 12 game it plays this year.

Baylor
Three. That’s the number of losing seasons Baylor has over the last four years. The program was once considered a power in the Big 12. One of the original founding members, the Bears have six 10-win seasons or better since 2011.
But expansion has put the program on the back foot. BU is 11-16 in conference games since the league started adding teams in 2023. This year, Florida transfer quarterback DJ Lagway was brought in to take over for the departing Sawyer Robertson.
His addition makes Baylor a dark horse in the Big 12. But with so many up-and-down years recently, there’s not much buzz around the Bears.
Central Florida
Scott Frost went 5-7 in his first year back in Orlando. It was an improvement over Guz Malzahn’s final four-win season. But Central Florida’s lack of growth in the Big 12 is concerning.
Advertisement
The program was a power in the American and has completely fallen off since joining in 2023. With three-straight losing seasons, it’s time for some progress to become apparent. Otherwise, UCF may be destined to be a perennial bottom dweller in the Big 12.
Fortunately, Frost knows how to get the job done there. There’s cautious optimism heading into the year. Anything less than a six-win season would be a failure.
Cincinnati
Forget the Brendan Sorsby noise. Cincinnati is on the rise. Scott Satterfield has improved the program each year since taking over in 2023.
The Bearcats had three wins that year, five in 2024, and seven last season. It’s a steady progression that’s been building up. But replacing a player like Sorsby won’t be easy.
Advertisement
Satterfield must not have a large enough war chest, either, because no splash transfer was brought in. The rest of the roster should be strong, though. Keep an eye on UC.
Colorado
Julian Lewis | Colorado Athletics
The hype around Colorado has faded. The three wins last season were the fewest of Deion Sanders’ coaching career. But star offensive coordinator Brennan Marion was brought in to revamp the offense.
The former head coach of Sacramento State, Marion’s innovative system should result in a higher-scoring CU offense. Sophomore quarterback Julian Lewis figures to thrive within the scheme.
But there are questions on defense and the general trajectory of the program doesn’t inspire confidence. As far as preseason expectations go, there are none for Colorado.
Iowa State
Left to pick up the pieces after Matt Campbell left for Penn State, the Iowa State administration may have made a home run hire. Jimmy Rogers had great success at the FCS level, leading North Dakota State to a national championship in 2023.
Advertisement
Last year, Rogers patched together a roster on short notice, implemented his system, and led Washington State to a 6-6 record while playing an independent schedule.
The Cyclones might not have immediate success in Year One. But the future is bright in Ames with Rogers leading the program.
Kansas
After back-to-back five-win seasons, Kansas is in rebuild mode. Star quarterback Jalon Daniels ran out of eligibility, and KU has lost its identity.
Without Daniels in the mix, the Jayhawks might be near the bottom of the Big 12. But new stars could emerge, and the team may establish a new identity. If that happens, a bowl appearance is achievable.
Advertisement
It’s a critical year for Lance Leipold. Another underwhelming season would test the patience of the fanbase.
Kansas State
Collin Klein enters his first year as a head coach at the age of 36. He previously served as the offensive coordinator for Kansas State during the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Most recently, Klein was the offensive coordinator for Texas A&M.
There are many unknowns around KSU, and expectations are non-existent. It’s a foundational year, though, and one that could set the tone for seasons to come.
Avery Johnson is a dangerous quarterback, if utilized correctly. Klein may have the skill to optimize Johnson’s talent and Kansas State’s season.
Advertisement
Oklahoma State
The Cowboys were at rock bottom last season. Legendary coach Mike Gundy was let go, and Eric Morris was brought in from North Texas. Now, there is renewed hope.
Quarterback Drew Mastemaker threw 34 touchdowns for the Mean Green in 2025 and then followed his coach to Stillwater. OSU’s success could rise and fall based on Mastemaker’s performance.
From the conference-wide perspective, the Big 12 needs Ok State to get its program together. The Pokes were supposed to be the league’s marquee football brand after Texas and Oklahoma left. Instead, it’s been several years of irrelevancy.
This season is pivotal for Morris to begin the rebuild.
Advertisement
TCU
Sonny Dykes lost Josh Hoover to the portal over the offseason. The departure was a significant blow to TCU’s program.
Left to find a replacement, Dykes reeled in Harvard transfer Jaden Craig. The addition didn’t make any waves and limits the expectations for the Horned Frogs’ season. It could be a disappointing year and show how important Hoover was to the team.
Yet, the Big 12 is wide open. Perhaps Craig hits the ground running and makes TCU competitive. In that sense, the Horned Frogs are a bit of a wildcard.
West Virginia
Rich Rodriguez enters Year Two of his return to Morgantown. With a full season to teach his system, a bowl appearance in 2026 is a reasonable expectation.
Advertisement
When executed correctly, Rodriguez’s offense is borderline unstoppable. But depth is required, and the quarterback makes or breaks the season. This year, Rodriguez has options with Oklahoma transfer Michael Hawkins Jr. and sophomore Scotty Fox Jr.
Executing the right reads will be critical all season long. If Hawkins can’t get it going, look for Fox to get an opportunity to steal the starting job.

Here are all ARC Raiders Trial activities this week (Image via SK Gaming || Embark Studios)
1) Best ways to open ARC probes during Season 5 Week 6
The first challenge in this week’s Trials activity requires Raiders to interact with ARC Probes. Since Assessors found during Close Scrutiny are much riskier due to the presence of multiple Vaporizers and flying ARC threats, we chose a safer route so players can complete this challenge with three stars.
Recommended loadout:
Anvil / Bettina
4 stacks of Heavy Ammo
Light / Medium Shield
Shield Rechargers
Herbal Bandages
30 Adrenaline Shots (optional)

Recommended strat:
Head to the Spaceport map and find the closest probe to your spawn location.
Use the map listed above to follow the route and interact with Probes.
Take note of all the elevator timings to set a proper path through the map.
Breach every possible ARC probe to acquire Trials score. It is not a compulsion to loot all the items inside Probes or Couriers.
Utilize at least 30 Adrenaline Shots to keep sprinting from one Probe to the next.
Interact with already breached containers to acquire bonus Trials points
Repeat this until you reach the 4000 score threshold.
2) Best way to loot bird’s nests during Season 5 Week 6
For the second challenge in Season 5 Week 6 ARC Raiders Trials, we head to Buried City during the Bird City map condition. During this event, you must interact with Bird nests across multiple rooftops to acquire Trial scores. Here is a recommended loadout and route to ensure you grab all nests for the best Trials scores.
Bird nest locations for Season 5 Week 6 (Image via Embark Studios || arcraidersmaps.app)
Recommended Loadout:
Anvil / Ferro
Any PvP weapon of choice
Light / Medium Shield
Shield Rechargers
Herbal Bandages
15x Adrenaline Shots (optional)
6x Ziplines (optional)
Snap Hook (optional)
Recommended strat:
Head to the Buried City during Bird City map condition, and climb to your nearest roof with bird nests.
Interact with the nests and then follow the loop around these Points of Interest.
Plaza Rosa > Church Ruins > Piazza Arbusto > Town Hall > Corso Da Vinci > Santa Maria Houses > Main Street.
Make sure to set up Ziplines or use Snap Hook to maintain your elevated position on the rooftops.
Watch out for Rockeeteers and keep a couple of Wolfpacks ready in case of an emergency.
Do note that Bird nests do not respawn, so you must interact with empty nests if necessary to grab the Trials score
3) Best way to damage Flying ARC using Snap Blast for Season 5 Week 6
Snap Blast is an uncommon rarity throwable item that deals 70 damage and has a range of 7.5m. This week, you must use these throwables to damage Flying ARCs. Here is the crafting recipe for Snap Blasts:
2X Crude Explosives
1x Magnet
Snap Blast in ARC Raiders (Image via SK Gaming || Embark Studios)
You obtain 3 points per 1 damage dealt to a flying ARC using the Snap Blast. This means that one Snap Blast will net you around 210 points. Therefore, you will need almost 20 Snap Blasts to earn 4000 points or three stars in this challenge.
4) Best ways to open containers on the beach in Riven Tides for Season 5 Week 6
For this specific activity in ARC Raiders Trials, one must open containers in the beachfront area of the Riven Tides map. This activity can be completed using a free loadout, as Raiders just need to interact with containers to attain points.
Recommended Loadout:
Anvil
2 Stacks of Ammo
Light
Shield Rechargers
Bandages
Dockmaster’s Detector (x2)
Use Dockmaster’s Detector during Season 5 Week 6 (Image via SK Gaming || Embark Studios)
Your primary objective is to head to the beach on the north side of the Wavebreaker and Port Authority building. Use the Dockmaster’s Detector to uncover containers and interact with them. Do note that sometimes, unearthing items will reveal mines. Do not try to dodge out of the way. Instead, defuse the mine and look for another container.
Each container awards 200 Points. Therefore, you must unearth and interact with 20 containers to acquire 3 stars or 4000 Trials points.
5) Best ways to damage ARCs inside the walls during Season 5 Week 6
This week, Raiders must damage flying ARCs with Hullcrackers. Doing so is quite easy but requires a decent chunk of money for the full loadout. Let us take a look at the recommended loadout and strategy.
Recommended loadout:
Renegade
Hullcracker
3 stacks of ammunition each
2x Wolfpacks (optional)
Snitch Scanners (optional)
Medium Shield
Shield Rechargers / Surge Shield Rechargers
Herbal Bandages / Sterilized Bandage / Vita Spray
Spaceport walls marked with green lines (Image via SK Gaming || Embark Studios)
Recommended strat:
Head to the Spaceport and go inside the walls. Make your way to the Launch Towers.
Start shooting all the flying ARCs you can spot. Use your Renegade to lure flying ARCs in the distance and then finish them off with Hullcracker once they are close
Raiders can also trigger Snitches or Snitch Scanners to call for backup. This way, an additional flying ARC will spawn.
You can also lure Rocketeers or Vaporizers, but that introduces a ton of risk with higher chances of failure.
You earn 1 point for 1 damage dealt to flying ARCs using Hullcracker. Therefore, you must deal 4000 damage to earn three stars in this ARC Raiders Trial activity.

ANTIPOLO—A postgame incident that almost reached the boiling point marred Converge’s 120-103 win over Terrafirma in the 2026 PBA Governors’ Cup on Tuesday at Ynares Center here.
Eyewitnesses said that Terrafirma import Justin Strings attempted to rush towards the Converge dugout to confront one of its players whom he had some sweet-nothings with during the contest.

Players from both teams, along with PBA staff and security, were able to pacify the situation.
It was unclear whether Strings was looking for Alec Stockton or Calvin Abueva, but Strings and Stockton appeared to have a tense encounter while the two teams were doing the customary handshake after the final buzzer.
During the final seconds, Abueva and Strings also had a brief verbal exchange after the Converge forward was bumped by the Dyip reinforcement and fell near the commissioner’s row/press area.
Abueva later shouted back at Strings, who claimed that he was “flopping.”

Converge team governor Archen Cayabyab tried to have a word with Strings, but the latter was nowhere to be found.
Strings had 28 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals but he couldn’t help Terrafirma secure a win in the crucial tiff with Converge.
Terrafirma dropped to 3-5 for fifth place in Group A as Converge moved to solo fourth at 4-4 to gain ground in the race for the four quarterfinal seats.

Unified light-heavyweight world champion Dmitry Bivol is regarded as the very best at 175lbs, but there is a new player in the division who believes that he can be the first to knock the slick Russian out.
Bivol became the first fighter to take Artur Beterbiev the distance when the pair collided for the undisputed title back in October 2024, but it was Beterbiev who claimed a majority-decision win and made history by becoming the first undisputed light-heavyweight ruler of the four-belt era.
However, just four months later, Bivol became the second, as he avenged his solitary career defeat with a majority-decision triumph of his own before vacating the WBC belt – which subsequently fell into the hands of David Benavidez.

Now, after Bivol returned to action with a points win over Michael Eifert, it seems as though a trilogy showdown with Beterbiev is finally on the horizon, but the Russian-Canadian puncher is not the only knockout artist hoping to hand Bivol a first stoppage defeat.
Speaking to TalkSPORT Boxing, after a first-minute knockout of Sean Hemphill, Dutch light-heavyweight Gradus Kraus admitted that he cannot wait to face the likes of Bivol and knock them out.
“I want to make rounds, but you see I am too good for these guys and I know that I am the best in the world, I will be a future world champion.
“I can’t wait to step up in the ring against [guys] like Bivol and then I will show the world that I also knock them out because my power is too much.”
Boxing News understands that Kraus, who now has 11 knockouts from 12 wins, will return to action in October, with former Bivol opponent Craig Richards amongst the names being considered as a potential opponent.

Meanwhile, the unified champion has been ordered to face WBO mandatory challenger Callum Smith, though he may instead vacate the belt to make the third fight with Beterbiev.
Mark English’s performance in round 1 of the men’s 800m was the highlight from an Irish viewpoint at the opening session of the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham on Monday.
The Finn Valley AC man won his heat in a time of 1:46.96 to automatically qualify for the semi-finals on Wednesday.
Commenting after his win, English said:
“The main job was to secure qualification for the semis and I am really looking forward to Wednesday. I treat every race like my final race. Today I was a bit boxed in earlier in the race so I was happy to then get out and qualify.”

Cian McPhilipps disappointed in his heat of the same event. A fourth-place finisher from the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo last year, the UCD athlete finished in seventh in 1:46.84.
Neville into 100m semi-finals
Ciara Neville ran 11.29 when finishing in fifth place in heat 1 of the women’s 100m, good enough to see the 26-year-old from Limerick progress to the semi-finals this evening. Neville will run from lane 9 in the second of three semi-finals, with her race off at 8.18pm.
Lauren Roy, unfortunately, did not progress in the same event. Competing in the third heat, the Fast Twitch AC sprinter clocked 11.32 seconds in finishing sixth of eight competitors.
Jack Raftery of Donore Harriers finished second in Heat 2 Round 1 of the men’s 400m. Crossing the line in a time of 45.81 seconds, the DCU Masters student did enough to qualify for Tuesday’s semi-finals which will begin at 9pm

Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly has been offered to Chelsea following the signing of Bruno Guimaraes. The Englishman has also been offered to Manchester United, who have been previously linked with him.
According to a report from Football London, Lewis-Skelly is looking to leave Arsenal after falling down the pecking order. The Gunners are yet to decide on him but are reportedly open to a sale.
Thanks for the submission!

The teenager, who signed a new deal at Emirates last summer, is unhappy with his minutes and is looking to leave. The left-back likes to play in the midfield and believes that he would not be getting enough chances under Mikel Arteta.

Lewis-Skelly has started all the pre-season matches this summer, as the manager waits for Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Merino and Guimaraes to join training. The Brazilian joined the club over the weekend, while the rest were on vacation after the FIFA World Cup.
Lee Dixon urged Lewis-Skelly to seek assurance over his minutes from Arteta this season, saying that the teenager would be starting at every other Premier League side. He claimed that the Englishman should be demanding minutes and said:
“At almost any other club, he’d be a starter. He was brilliant when he first broke in, lost his way a little bit, and now there’s that question of where he fits best. If I were him, I’d be having a proper one-on-one chat in Arteta’s office, asking, ‘How do you see me at the club? How do I develop into what you want me to be, or do I need to go elsewhere?’ Because if the plans don’t match up, you can spend four or five years drifting, and before you know it, you’re in your mid-20s, and half your career is gone.”
“He’s so good at flipping into midfield when he plays left-back, and he played a couple of Champions League games toward the end of last season where he was brilliant in midfield. It’s a really deep discussion they need to have together, and we’ll probably see at the start of the season where he fits in.”
Lewis-Skelly played just over 700 minutes in his 20 Premier League appearances last season. He was a part of the Chelsea academy, before moving to Arsenal when he was eight years old.
Will Arsenal sell Myles Lewis-Skelly to Chelsea?
Arsenal are reportedly open to selling Myles Lewis-Skelly, if they get the right offer. Chelsea seem unlikely as things stand, as their midfield is packed, and they have signed Valentin Barco, who plays a similar role.

Manchester United could be the ideal club for Lewis-Skelly, as the Red Devils are looking to sign a player who can operate as a left-back and a midfielder.
In some ways, it’s deserved. Last year, Texas Tech’s ugly Playoff performance against Oregon damaged the league’s reputation.
