Frank Sanchez sent a statement out to the rest of the heavyweight division after a memorable knockout victory over Richard Torrez Jr.

The two men were squaring off at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt in a final eliminator for the IBF heavyweight title, so there was a big opportunity available to the victor of the bout.

Sanchez was competing for the first time since February 2025, while Torrez was unbeaten and tipped for big things in the division, but it transpired that activity wasn’t a key factor once the fight began.

It took Sanchez less than two rounds to secure the impressive win, knocking out Torrez with a big uppercut to hand the American the first loss of his career.

Sanchez will now move into the number one spot with the IBF, and speaking in his post-fight interview he threw his hat into the ring for a future showdown with unified heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk.

“Usyk we’re ready for you whenever you want. I knew Torrez was a pressure fighter but I know I’m a great boxer. I stayed with the plan. I was working with my trainer a lot and he kept telling me to throw the uppercut. That’s what came through.”

The IBF are set to be last in the rotation to call upon their mandatory to face Usyk, with the WBC and WBA both ahead in the queue, so Sanchez may soon decide to call out a different fighter to help prepare for a future shot at the Ukrainian.

Congo is dealing with an outbreak of Ebola, and executive director of the White House Task Force for the World Cup Andrew Giuliani said the Congolese national soccer team must isolate if they want to enter the United States for the global tournament.

The U.S. has told FIFA, the Congolese government and national soccer team, that they must isolate for 21 days in order to enter the country for the World Cup. The team is currently training in Belgium and is scheduled to play two warmup games there.

“We’ve been very clear to Congo that they should maintain the integrity of their bubble for 21 days before they can then come to Houston on June 11,” Giuliani told ESPN. “We’ve made it very clear to the Congo government as well that they need to maintain that bubble or they risk not being able to travel to the United States. We cannot be any clearer.”

“We want to make sure that there is nothing that’s going to come in or near our borders here on this,” he said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been monitoring two American doctors who were in quarantine in Europe after being exposed to Ebola, Giuliani said. He said they have discussed sending staff to Belgium to check on the Congo team.

In Congo last week, they had a confirmed outbreak of Bundibugyo, a rare type of Ebola. It is thought to have killed more than 130 people, with nearly 600 suspected cases.

“If there are other people that are going to be coming in, they need to have a separate bubble from that team. If they end up coming, and any of those people end up symptomatic, they are risking the entire team being able to come and compete in this World Cup,” Giuliani said.

The CDC announced this week that all foreign nationals who had been in Congo, Uganda and South Sudan within the past three weeks would be banned from entry into the United States for 30 days.

The Congo canceled a planned farewell by the team to fans and a three-day World Cup preparation training camp on Wednesday.

Congo is in Group K and is scheduled to play Portugal in their opening game in Houston on June 17. Their next two games are against Colombia in Guadalajara, Mexico, on June 23, and Uzbekistan in Atlanta on June 27.

Wakefield withstood a late Toulouse rally as they battled back from 8-0 down to win and keep up the pressure on Hull KR and Warrington in the Super League.

Daryl Powell’s side scored twice inside five first-half minutes to turn the game around after Toulouse made a flying start in the Stade Ernest Wallon when James Roumanos went over.

Wakefield scored four unanswered tries through Oliver Pratt, Caius Faatili, Jazz Tevaga and Seth Nikotemo, before Josh Rourke was controversially sin-binned to allow Toulouse back into this seesaw game.

Olly Ashall-Bott and Paul Ulberg took full advantage to score inside three minutes before Pratt made a late try-saving tackle on Benjamin Laguerre as Wakefield hung on.

Wakefield have strengthened their grip on fifth with their eighth Super League win of the campaign, while unlucky Toulouse remain next to bottom.

Toulouse began well and Cesar Rouge had a try disallowed because Jay Pitts was taken out in the build-up, before Jake Shorrocks kicked a penalty to give them the lead when Joe Cator was taken out off the ball.

Roumanos extended the home side’s lead on 17 minutes when he cut through the Wakefield defence to crash over, with Shorrocks adding the conversion to make it 8-0.

Jayden Myers had a score disallowed for Wakefield before they crossed the line twice in five minutes. First, Pratt produced a diving finish to touch down one-handed in the corner to half the deficit on 22 minutes.

Then Mason Lino played a great short pass to Faatili, who powered over for his fourth try in two games, with Rourke landing the conversion to put Wakefield ahead 10-8.

Wakefield stretched their lead to 16-8 when Tevaga spun round to score a try converted by Rourke.

Toulouse wasted numerous chances to score and Tiaki Chan failed to hold Ashall-Bott’s pass with the try line beckoning.

Nikotemo powered over after a fine break through the middle by Rourke in the 57th minute and Wakefield looked out of sight.

But then Rourke was sin-binned for a deliberate obstruction and Ashall-Bott went over for his ninth Super League try.

Toulouse turned the screw on Wakefield’s 12 men, and Ulberg scored in acres of space on the right before Pratt kept out Laguerre in the final minutes with a superb tackle.

Punjab Kings won a crucial toss in their must-win IPL 2026 clash against Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Stadium and elected to field first as they attempt to keep their fading playoff hopes alive.

PBKS come into the contest under immense pressure after six consecutive defeats completely derailed what once looked like a top-two campaign. Back on April 25, Punjab were comfortably sitting at the top of the table with 13 points from seven games, but a dramatic slump in form has pushed them into a desperate fight for survival.

Captain Shreyas Iyer admitted the high stakes surrounding the contest after choosing to chase.

“We will bowl first. Two changes – Marco and Vyshak are in. Feeling is exciting, I would say it’s a do or die match for us. We have never been in this situation before and the boys are waiting to do their best.”

Punjab’s qualification equation remains complicated. They not only need a victory tonight, preferably by a convincing margin, but also require favourable results elsewhere, including Rajasthan Royals dropping points and Kolkata Knight Riders failing to improve their net run rate significantly.

For Lucknow, the season has already slipped away, but captain Rishabh Pant said his side still wants to finish strongly despite a difficult campaign.

“We would have bowled first as well. This wicket is good for cricket regardless of bowling or batting. This is one of the better batting wicket, it could be a high scoring match. Two changes – Arjun and Arshin Kulkarni are in. It’s been a tough season, but at the same time, there has been a lot of learning, both for the team and personally. II’d say sorry for the fans, they have come from all over UP. It’s been tough going for us, but we’ll give our 100% today.”

Lucknow have also been hit hard by availability issues, with Mitchell Marsh missing tonight’s fixture alongside already absent overseas players Aiden Markram, Matthew Breetzke and Anrich Nortje. Marsh’s absence is particularly significant considering the Australian opener has scored 563 runs this season and formed a destructive opening partnership with Josh Inglis in recent games.

Teams:

Lucknow Super Giants (Playing XI): Josh Inglis, Arshin Kulkarni, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Abdul Samad, Mukul Choudhary, Arjun Tendulkar, Mohammed Shami, Prince Yadav, Mohsin Khan

Punjab Kings (Playing XI): Prabhsimran Singh(w), Priyansh Arya, Cooper Connolly, Shreyas Iyer(c), Suryansh Shedge, Shashank Singh, Azmatullah Omarzai, Marco Jansen, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal

With Punjab’s season hanging by a thread and Lucknow looking to end on a positive note, the stakes remain high in Match 68 of IPL 2026.
