Gervonta Davis has weighed in on the 160lb clash between Errol Spence Jr and Tim Tszyu this weekend.

The two former world champions will square off at Sydney’s Afterpay Arena, Australia, where it was originally agreed that they would collide at a catchweight of 158lbs.

In a late turn of events, Spence requested an additional 2lbs – which was subsequently granted – as he returns to action for the first time in three years.

Yet despite his last outing resulting in a ninth-round stoppage defeat to Terence Crawford, the 36-year-old has been made a slight favourite against Tszyu.

This is also Spence’s first meaningful assignment above 147lbs, where he remained unbeaten before losing his WBC, IBF and WBA titles to Crawford.

Tszyu, meanwhile, has lost three of his last six fights after encountering the ferocious fists of Sebastian Fundora and Bakhram Murtazaliev, who scored stoppages over the Australian in 2024 and 2025, respectively

But while he hopes to return to world level at 154lbs, the 31-year-old first looks to claim his most significant victory since outpointing Brian Mendoza in 2023.

One man pledging his support for Spence, however, is former world champion ‘Tank’ Davis, who shared his thoughts via social media on Wednesday.

“Bring it home EJ!”

Despite his three years of inactivity, many suspect that Spence is far superior from a technical perspective.

Tszyu, on the other hand, could take advantage of the American’s lack of momentum by setting a hellacious pace, perhaps exposing any signs of deterioration with his relentless pressure and consistent attacks.

Following his recent achievement of back-to-back trainers’ premierships at Hawkesbury, Brad Widdup has his in-form mare Satono Jasmine primed to extend her winning streak to four at Randwick.

The filly is set to compete in Saturday company for the B & K Group Australia Handicap (1800m), building on a hat-trick of recent wins in provincial and midweek races. Widdup admitted he hadn’t anticipated her reaching Saturday grade so quickly in her second preparation.

“If you’d asked me if I’d thought she’d get to Saturday grade this time around, I would have said, ‘no’,” Widdup shared. “She has done a really good job.”

He added, “I was half thinking about putting her in the paddock after last start, but it’s a fillies and mares race over 1800 on a Saturday worth $160,000. You’ve got to have a crack. She’s in really good order, so fingers crossed she can run well again.”

Satono Jasmine recorded consecutive victories at Gosford and Hawkesbury by a combined margin exceeding eight lengths, both on tracks with cushion in the ground. However, her ability on firmer surfaces was confirmed when she won on a good track at Warwick Farm last start.

The distance has been a constant in her wins, with all previous successes over a mile. Widdup is keen to test her over a longer distance on Saturday before she is sent for a spell.

“I’ve wanted to push her out over further and she’s found a fillies and mares’ (benchmark) 78 on a Saturday, so we’ll see what happens,” he stated.

The success of Satono Jasmine is sweetened by the fact that Brad Widdup Racing is one of two part-owners. The ownership group also campaigned her half-sister, Pro Velocity, whose best performance in 17 starts was a 2100m win at Newcastle’s Beaumont track.

“That makes it a bit better too. We had Pro Velocity, the sister and didn’t have much luck, so this one is repaying that. Fingers crossed she can keep going on with it.”

On Saturday, Anthony Joshua returns to the ring when he faces Kristian Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The fight will stream live on DAZN PPV.

On paper, this is a fight Joshua would be expected to win with ease, but external factors make what should be a tune-up for Joshua vs. Tyson Fury later this year seem more high-risk for the two-time former unified heavyweight champion.

Joshua’s most recent fight was his six-round demolition of Jake Paul on Dec. 19, a fight that left Paul with a shattered jaw and Joshua with a bounce-back victory after his own knockout loss to Daniel Dubois. Unfortunately, Joshua was involved in a car crash in Nigeria just 10 days after defeating Paul, with the crash leaving two of his friends dead.

It would have been understandable for Joshua to never fight again following such a tragic incident. But Joshua eventually made it clear he intended to continue fighting, and in the ensuing months, a fight with Fury appeared finally ready to get over the finishing line after 10 years of talk.

Joshua was in attendance for Fury’s April victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov, though he refused to enter the ring when Fury demanded it. Still, the fight has been announced and is actively being advertised on Netflix, even if it doesn’t yet have a confirmed date or location.

Before a fight with Fury can happen, Joshua needs to get by Prenga, a fighter who has never faced an opponent anywhere near Joshua’s level but sports a shiny 20-1 record with all 20 wins by knockout.

There’s not much to say about Prenga’s record. He has faced no opponent of note and has stopped seven opponents in the first round. He’s a heavyweight with enough power to take out low-level opposition and will hope that power game carries up to the elite level of the sport.

Saturday’s undercard features a pair of title fights. The biggest sees rising star Hamzah Sheeraz look to defend his WBO super middleweight title against Simon Zachenhuber. The 27-year-old is fresh off a second-round knockout of Alem Begic to claim the vacant title. He also scored a knockout of Edgar Berlanga last July to really expand his starpower. Plus, Josh Kelly looks to defend the IBF junior middleweight title against Caoimhin Agyarko.

Let’s take a closer look at the rest of the undercard before getting to a prediction and expert pick on the main event below.

Joshua vs. Prenga fight card

• Anthony Joshua vs. Kristian Prenga, heavyweights
• Hamzah Sheeraz (c) vs. Simon Zachenhuber, WBO super middleweight title
• Josh Kelly (c) vs. Caoimhin Agyarko, IBF junior middleweight title
• Reito Tsutsumi vs. Alvino Herrera Meza, junior lightweight
• Jacob Bank vs. Pawel August, super middleweights
• Oleksandr Khyzhniak vs. Lenny Patrach, light heavyweights

Prediction

As long as Joshua has his head on straight and isn’t affected by the tragic car accident that took two of his friends, it’s hard to expect anything other than a dominant performance by the far more proven boxer. Prenga has enough power that if Joshua has mental lapses, an upset could be sprung.

Joshua is a professional, though, and the expectation is he comes into the ring at something close to his current best. As long as that’s the case, there’s no doubt how this should play out. Pick: Anthony Joshua via TKO4

The 2026 Tour de France completed its second-to-last stage on Saturday, and Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogačar is in position to win the race for the third consecutive year.

But Stage 20 also provided some unfortunate highlights for American cyclist Sepp Kuss, who crashed twice during Saturday’s competition. The second of those two crashes was particularly harrowing. Making a tight turn, Knus nearly went over the road barrier and would have fallen down the side of the mountain if not for a protective fence catching him.

At the time of his first crash, Kuss was in the lead and merely a few miles away from winning the stage, He collided with a wall outside a tunnel, yet managed to recover quickly enough to maintain his lead.

The second crash set Kuss back further. Despite avoiding what could have been a fatal accident, he recovered yet again. However, he lost enough time behind Ecuadorian cyclist Richard Carapaz to finish third in the stage, 31 seconds behind Carapaz and five behind Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel.

Had Kuss finished first on Saturday, he would have been the first American to win a stage in five years. Kuss was actually the last U.S. cyclist to win a stage, finishing first in Stage 15 in 2021 riding from Céret to Andorra la Vella.

Evenepoel is second in the overall standings going into Sunday’s final stage, nearly seven minutes back from Pogačar for the lead.

Ishan Kishan (Video grabs)

NEW DELHI: Ishan Kishan was the undisputed star with the bat as India sealed the T20I series against Zimbabwe on Saturday, but it was a comical run-out miss behind the stumps that had social media buzzing long after the final ball.The wicketkeeper-batter, who smashed a brilliant 81 off 44 deliveries to earn the Player of the Match award, became the centre of attention for an amusing fielding lapse during Zimbabwe’s chase. Kishan later saw the funny side of the incident, joking about it during the post-match presentation.The viral moment came in the 15th over when Zimbabwe’s Tadiwanashe Marumani nudged the ball towards deep backward point.

A mix-up between the batters left both stranded near the bowler’s end, presenting India with what appeared to be a straightforward run-out opportunity.However, Kishan casually underarmed the throw towards the stumps, seemingly believing the batter had already made his ground. The throw neither hit the stumps nor reached Ravi Bishnoi for a backup attempt, allowing Zimbabwe to escape.Realising what had happened, Kishan immediately placed his hand on his head with a sheepish grin as teammates and fans were left in disbelief.WATCH: Ishan Kishan’s run out miss

Kishan laughs off viral moment

I’ll be looking at the bails next time,” he said with a smile.Fortunately for India, the missed chance had no bearing on the outcome as Zimbabwe were eventually bundled out for 129, handing the visitors a commanding 90-run victory and an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Brilliant 81 powers India to series-clinching win

NEW DELHI: Shreyas Iyer’s extraordinary run of luck at the toss finally came to an end on Saturday as Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza won the toss and elected to field first in the second T20I at the Harare Sports Club, ending the India skipper’s record streak of eight consecutive toss wins in the shortest format.

The result marked the first time Iyer has lost a toss as India’s T20I captain, bringing to an end a sequence that had already seen him surpass former skipper MS Dhoni’s long-standing national record.

With India leading the three-match series 1-0 after a commanding victory in the opener, Iyer admitted he would have preferred to bat first on what he felt looked like a much-improved batting surface.

Iyer expects better batting conditions

Unlike the opening match, where the pitch offered uneven bounce and assistance to the bowlers, Iyer believed the surface for the second T20I looked significantly better.

“We were going to bat first. I feel it looks a bit different. It’s not as tacky as it was in the first game. I feel the bounce will be consistent, and that’s what I’m hoping. But let’s see how it plays,” the India captain said.

Rather than dwelling on the toss outcome, Iyer stressed the importance of maintaining the same mindset that helped India dominate the opening encounter.

“We just passed on the message to all the boys that it’s important to stay in the present and not be complacent because when you have such a comprehensive win, you tend to take things easily,” he said.

“I think it’s essential for us to enjoy the moment as well as make sure that we play to the best of our abilities. There is a lot of potential in the dressing room and if they turn up today with a solid approach, then definitely the results will take care of themselves,” he added.

Iyer also confirmed one change to the playing XI, with Yash Thakur making his India debut in place of Ashok Sharma.

Raza backs Zimbabwe seamers

Having won the toss, Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza wasted little time in opting to bowl first, convinced that Harare’s winter conditions would once again provide early assistance to his pace attack.

“We want to bowl first. First reason being the winter wicket as we know, it’s slightly spicier at the start, so hopefully we can make early inroads and then see what comes in the batting order later on,” Raza explained.

While acknowledging that the wicket appeared better than it had during the first T20I, Raza still expected enough movement for his fast bowlers.

“The surface is certainly a lot better today than it was in the first game, so it may not be as spicy, but we know that in Harare, especially during winter, there will be a bit of spice at the start and hopefully our seamers can make inroads. If they do, it’ll go a long way towards helping us stop them,” he said.

Zimbabwe retained the same playing XI that lost the series opener by seven wickets.

Historic streak finally comes to an end

Before Saturday’s contest, Iyer had rewritten India’s T20I captaincy record by winning eight successive tosses, overtaking MS Dhoni’s previous mark of seven set between 2010 and 2012.

The streak, which stretched from June to July 2026, had become one of the most remarkable toss runs by an Indian captain in the format. It finally ended in Harare, though India will hope the result at the toss has little bearing on the outcome of the match.
