Next month, Oleksandr Usyk kickstarts a three-fight plan before his potential 2027 retirement and the heavyweight ruler has now provided an update on his final months as a professional.
Usyk has established himself as a boxing legend in recent years, building on his phenomenal undisputed run as a cruiserweight and replicating the feat as a heavyweight, becoming just the second fighter to claim the undisputed crown in both divisions.
At 39-years-old, Usyk is beginning to wind down and that shows by the fact that his next opponent boasts a boxing record of just 1-0, with Rico Verhoeven being a kickboxing superstar rather than a recognised threat to the heavyweight throne.

After Verhoeven, the Ukrainian is targeting the winner of Fabio Wardley vs Daniel Dubois, though has said he will consider mandatory challenger Agit Kabayel, too. Previously, a trilogy with Tyson Fury was his desired next move, however with ‘The Gypsy King’ set to face Anthony Joshua, Usyk may take a step back and choose another rival for his farewell bout.
Regardless of who stands in the opposite corner, the unified champion told Daily Mail Boxing he has a date in mind for hanging up the gloves, and that it is ‘close’.
“Yes, of course [I am savouring each moment of my career before retirement]. Three days ago, I think about, ‘this is date’. [I have been thinking about] how I say [that I am retired and] what I say. Listen, it is close.”

Stefanos Tsitsipas came from a set down to beat Patrick Kypson 3-6, 7-6, 7-6 in Madrid.
Tsitsipas lost the opening set 6-3 and was pushed all the way in the next two, needing back-to-back tiebreaks to get over the line.
The result ends a three-match losing streak for the Greek, who had been struggling coming into the tournament. He had lost six of his previous eight matches.

Madrid could be an important turning point. Tsitsipas has a good record on clay and has reached semi-finals and finals on clay before.
Margo’s job in Margo’s Got Money Troubles season 1 episode 4 continues to follow her journey towards adulthood as she struggles to find financial stability amidst motherhood and a growing dependence on an unconventional source of income. In the first three episodes, viewers see the level of desperation that Margo is experiencing and her relationship with her best friend Susie, as well as the tricky presence of her absentee father, Jinx.
Disclaimer: The following article contains spoilers for the show. Reader’s discretion is advised.
In Margo’s Got Money Troubles season 1 episode 4, the action gets slower, yet the tension builds when Margo chooses to take up OnlyFans. The main conflict revolves around the moment when Jinx discovers Margo’s new source of employment. This moment of discovery comes in the form of him walking into Susie’s room, where Margo is in the middle of a photoshoot. Initially, there is some misunderstanding, which soon turns into judgment.

Margo’s Got Money Troubles season 1 episode 4 establishes Margo’s employment revelation by using a humorous misunderstanding at first and then shifting to the realm of emotional conflict.
Jinx is still adjusting to the reality of his daughter’s life as he moves into her house. When he enters Susie’s room, he discovers Margo being photographed in a manner that leaves him confused. Initially, Jinx had assumed that Margo and Susie might be romantically involved. The confusion clears when Margo tells him that she is photographing herself to sell images on OnlyFans. The response from Jinx is quick and negative, showing how he cannot accept what his daughter is doing as well as how his attitude towards such work is influenced by his problems.
He does not even ask any questions, stating right away that the work is dishonorable; the scene shows his lack of understanding as well. Margo confronts him about this, showing her frustration and how hypocritical his attitude towards her job is, considering his career history and her mother’s profession as well.
How does Jinx get injured in Margo’s Got Money Troubles season 1 episode 4?

In Margo’s Got Money Troubles season 1 episode 4, Jinx’s narrative undergoes a drastic shift as soon as the action shifts to the wrestling convention, with nostalgia rapidly turning into worry. Although the place seems familiar and comfortable at first, while his ex-coworkers such as Lace make him feel more at ease, Jinx soon encounters difficulties and collapses in the ring after performing his demonstration.
The issue does not have a straightforward solution since it is caused by a combination of factors that include years of physical strain, as well as an unresolved addiction problem and depression. This latter factor becomes especially clear after the viewer learns about Margo’s suspicions concerning Jinx’s mental well-being.

Jinx’s unwillingness to share his experience of dealing with addiction with doctors adds additional stress to the situation and underlines the extent of the trauma and self-blame. His injury becomes a symbol to restore the past life’s image that he cannot maintain anymore. Even though he eventually makes concessions and shows some remorse towards Margo, it is not entirely clear whether he is ready to accept his problems.
Other highlights from Margo’s Got Money Troubles season 1 episode 4
Notably, in Margo’s Got Money Troubles season 1 episode 4, viewers see Margo’s career move towards something more strategic as far as building her profile on OnlyFans is concerned. Choosing to work with experienced artists such as Wang and Rose, and signing an NDA, it demonstrates how she has now started taking calculated risks in her journey to achieve her goal.
In contrast, the arrangements for Shyanne’s wedding hint at some hidden emotions. For instance, being unable to calm down Bodhi and responding angrily when Jinx suggests how she should parent makes it evident that Shyanne harbors some animosity towards having raised Margo single-handedly.
The episode’s closing moments add further complexity, as Jinx learns the truth about Bodhi’s father and quietly leaves, later confronting Mark off-screen.

Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku speaks ahead of the FA Cup semi-final on his ambitions to be talked about differently
Jeremy Doku wants to be seen as the best winger in the world – and the Manchester City man knows how to do it.
Doku’s dazzling ability with the ball at his feet was obvious from an early age, and he became one of the youngest debutants in Anderlecht history as a 16-year-old in November 2018. The following season, his new coach Vincent Kompany would tell the teenager that he saw him playing at a club like City, even though Doku struggled to see it himself; he now does not see it as a coincidence that the Blues opted to sign a player so highly rated by their former captain, who is now himself one of the best coaches in the game.
Advertisement
City knew they were getting an explosive talent when they signed Doku in 2023 but they were also aware of the injury battles that had arisen from a player so dependent on acceleration in his game, while there were also concerns over his final product. It was a difficult summer for everyone at the club working out how to move on from a team that had won the Treble and who to move on.

“It’s not easy because you come from Rennes. I’m sure that they didn’t watch a lot. I’m sure that they didn’t watch a lot of my games in France, my teammates. So maybe they didn’t know me,” he said.
“You have to prove, you have to also show that I deserve to be here. Nothing will be given to you. You have to take it. And that was also my mentality. So I wanted just to show my capabilities, what I’m able to do and that’s what I tried to do.

“Coming into the dressing room, you have to also acknowledge that you play with top quality players. So you also have to raise your standards up and raise your quality up. And I felt like the coach also welcomed me well. The teammates did as well. They were all nice with me. So I fitted in well.
“I think when they buy players, they know which mentality, which characteristics the players have. And also we have a coach that’s very passionate, pushes us every time. We have experienced players that won a lot who are still hungry.
“We have young players that come in this club and know that, oh, this club is used to winning trophies. So we’re all driven by that. We all want to win trophies. We all want to be among the best. If you look at every player here, that’s their goal.
“If you’re there without competition, maybe you will not feel the pressure. But in this club, you know that they always buy players, which is normal, to make the team better. You need to make the team better. You need to make the team competitive and that’s what they have been doing.

“This has been working as well. And for me, that’s fine because at the end of the day, that pushes me as well to work harder to know that, oh, there’s someone in my back that wants to play. There’s someone forward that needs to take his place. But it’s all like, not in a bad way. It’s all in a good way, a healthy competition.”
Doku’s journey at City has, like his dribbling, not been straightforward. Pep Guardiola has called him the best in the world over five metres and he has the ability to produce matchwinning moments against quality opposition – usually Liverpool but also United this season.
His end product and his fitness have both frustrated at different points though, and Guardiola said earlier this season that he didn’t think the winger would ever be a prolific scorer. That is criticism that Doku accepts but is working to improve as he looks to evolve his game in the way that Raheem Sterling did so successfully at City to find ways of scoring simple goals.
“I feel like assists, in that area, I’m fine. I feel like I’m doing well in that area because that doesn’t always depend on you. So key passes and assists, I feel like that area that’s all right. I feel like the goals is more… I have to be more in the areas where you can score easy goals, you know, tap-ins and stuff like that,” he said.

“Sometimes in the game, you get, not distracted, but you don’t realise sometimes what you’re doing and you don’t realise that you’re not in that position where you should be to just score the easy goals. When I look at all my goals even this season, every time dribbles, every time when I do it myself, and I just want to score also, I don’t know, even five tap-ins the season, that makes a big difference.”
Content cannot be displayed without consent
Doku has made himself into a valuable part of Guardiola’s starting XI for the biggest games, despite that lack of goals, because of everything else he offers to the team. Rayan Cherki is the only teammate to have more than his eight assists in all competitions and he has left enough defenders dizzy that he is now regularly marked by two if not three defenders when he gets the ball; it is no coincidence that Nico O’Reilly is able to find himself free in the final third when he is playing next to Doku.
With the freedom that he is given to operate in the final third though – and he is, whatever the myth about Guardiola stifling wingers – the 23-year-old knows that goals are the currency he must buy into if he wants to reach his goal of being talked about as one of the best wingers in the world rather than just a promising talent.
“At the end of the day, it’s me, it’s my responsibility to be consistent, to be always unstoppable, to be always difficult to retain and to be always reliable as a player for my team, for my coach, for this club, and that’s what I want to do,” he said.

“You should ask defenders what they think. What do they think? But I’m sure that they would say that, obviously if I score goals, this is a different conversation that we have. A winger needs to score. If I have those goals then I believe that I can get there for sure. 100 per cent.
“I know one versus one, obviously that’s my biggest quality. I’m not going to hide behind it. That’s my biggest quality and that’s my talent. But for sure, goals need to come as well. And I know that if I have goals, yeah, like I said, it’s a different conversation that we’re having.”

If you’re an intense follower of Minnesota Vikings-themed mock drafts, you’ve probably gleaned that the frontrunners to turn purple on Thursday night are two Oregon Ducks: Dillon Thieneman (safety) and Kenyon Sadiq (tight end). But down the stretch of the mock draft cycle, don’t rule out Clemson defensive tackle Peter Woods.
The mock tide shifted late. Woods entered the mix.
Woods has wiggled into a couple of last-minute mocks; he could the guy for Minnesota.

Todd McShay’s Mock
McShay, formerly of ESPN, works for The Ringer now, and he revealed Woods as his Vikings’ mock draft prediction on Wednesday.
He explained, “Woods has been catching a lot of buzz in conversations I’ve been having recently—full circle from earlier in the process—and the league seems to be coming back around on his traits despite a quieter 2025 season. The Vikings run a one-gap scheme under Brian Flores, and Woods fits well there. Plus, they released Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave.”

And you know what? You really can’t fault the logic there. After all, during Flores’s first draft in Miami seven years, he made defensive tackle Christian Wilkins his first pick, a very Woods-esque selection.
PFSN, Too
McShay wasn’t alone. Pro Football Network‘s Cameron Sheath joined him with the Woods pronostication, writing, “Having been beaten to Thieneman, the Vikings pivot to another area of need. Javon Hargrave and Jonathan Allen both left in free agency, and Peter Woods immediately steps into one of those vacant spots as the first defensive tackle off the board.”
“Brian Flores will continue to cook up different disguises and play calls to keep quarterbacks guessing, but he’ll need a strong anchor up front, and Woods certainly provides that.”

Interestingly, Sheath published a 3-Round mock, and this was the Vikings’ haul:
Peter Woods, Clemson | DT
A.J. Haulcy, LSU | S
Logan Jones, Iowa | C
Devin Moore, Florida | CB
The Case for Woods
If you’re new to the 2026 draft process, Woods is considered the best or second-best defensive tackle in this class, depending on one’s thoughts on Kayden McDonald, a nose tackle from Ohio State. This rookie crop isn’t necessarily known for DT majesty, but Woods and McDonald should find their way off the draft board in the first 40 picks, perhaps both on Thursday night in Round 1.
During his final two seasons at Clemson, Woods recorded 5 sacks and consistently disrupted plays before they could develop. Film analysis reveals him as a disruptive interior defender, utilizing a violent swipe move to shoot gaps and penetrate the backfield with exceptional quickness.
His testing numbers further highlight his impressive movement skills. Woods’ 4.75-second forty-yard dash is remarkably fast for a defensive tackle, aligning perfectly with the quick first step and leverage evident on film.

The burst is contained within his 6’2,” 300-pound frame, making him exceptionally agile for his size.
Bleacher Report‘s Matt Holder on Woods: “Good size with impressive movement skills and quickness for a defensive tackle. Plenty of upper body strength and pop in his hands to stand up offensive linemen and gain control of the block.”
“Also is quick to shoot his hands and keeps his hands tight to protect his chest. Very good at getting off blocks, stack-and-shedding looks easy for him and has a hump move to escape, too. Has the combination of power and movement skills to develop into a quality pass-rusher down the line.”
Holder also issued Jeffery Simmons as Woods’s NFL comp. Not bad.
First DT since Sharrif Floyd?

It’s time for the Vikings to pick a defensive tackle early in a draft. They never do it.
The last time was 13 years ago, when Rick Spielman chose Sharrif Floyd, whose career was cut short by a nasty injury. Since then, Minnesota signed Linval Joseph for six seasons and vacillated between a hodgepodge of defensive tackles.

Mandatory Credit: Brad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports.
Most teams take DT swings in the draft more frequently than every 13 years. Minnesota should get with the program and leave this year’s draft with an interior defensive lineman before the end of Friday, especially with Allen and Hargrave off the roster.
Woods will turn 22 next offseason. The guy has youth on his side. There’s also a small chance that the Vikings can trade down from their 18th spot on Thursday night and still draft Woods. His stock is near the end of Round 1, per draft pundits, putting a trade and Woods pick in play.
The Weapon Throw skill in Crimson Desert is one of the more interesting additions to come out of the latest patch, and it works almost exactly like throwing the Leviathan Axe in God of War. The weapon flies out at enemies and can be recalled back, giving the combat a satisfying new layer that was not there before.
It is a Dual-wielding skill, so the setup requires a small adjustment to the loadout before it becomes available. Once that is sorted, the mechanic itself is pretty intuitive. That said, here is how you can perform the Weapon Throw skill in Crimson Desert.
Note: Parts of this article are subjective and based on the author’s views.
Steps to perform Weapon Throw Skill in Crimson Desert

1) Setting up the Dual-wielding
Equip the secondary weapon (Image via Pearl Abyss || YouTube/@RageGamingVideos)
The Weapon Throw skill is only usable while Dual-wielding, so the first thing to do is swap out the shield slot. Open the Equipment Menu and highlight the shield slot in the weapon wheel or inventory. Replace it with a one-handed weapon, something like the Spine of the Earth, or any other one-handed sword or axe that is available.
That second weapon now equips in the left hand, and that is the one that gets thrown. As long as both hands are holding a weapon, the skill is active and ready to use.
Performing the Weapon Throw skill in Crimson Desert (Image via Pearl Abyss || YouTube/@RageGamingVideos)
The Weapon Throw Skill in Crimson Desert uses the same controls as Shield Bash. On PS5, that is L1 and R2 together, or the equivalent button on the relevant platform. Press the combination while in combat, and the left-hand weapon launches toward the target.
Recalling the weapon works the same way. Either press the same control combination again to pull it back, or simply walk up to where it landed to retrieve it manually. The recall works in a boomerang style, so timing it right during a fight can keep the pressure on without having to disengage.
Note: While the weapon is out in the field and before it is recalled, the game automatically equips the shield in its place. There is a visible animation of Kliff pulling the shield out mid-combat, which keeps the defensive option active even while the throwing weapon is airborne.

Manchester City manager Andree Jeglertz says they are “aware” they can win the Women’s Super League title next week – but “it does not affect” their preparation.
City, who hold a nine-point lead over Chelsea at the top of the table, are chasing a first WSL title in 10 years.
If they beat Brighton on Saturday (12:00 BST) and Arsenal lose to bottom club Leicester City on Wednesday (19:00 BST) then Jeglertz’s side will win the league.
Arsenal sit third in the table but have two games in hand. City, currently on 49 points, need to reach 54 to secure the title – unless the Gunners lose.

“We are definitely aware of the situation, fully aware. The situation is up to us and we cannot affect anything happening in the other game,” said Jeglertz.
“For us, we have to win our game on Saturday and that is where we are. What happens in all the other games, we can just watch and see.
“We haven’t put any attention on the other teams, it’s just on how we can beat Brighton this weekend.”
However, Jeglertz admitted there is “extra energy” in the City players as they close in on a memorable end to the campaign.

They also have an FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea to come next month (10 May) as they chase a domestic double.
“We have done everything like we normally do and we’re not changing anything. Everybody is fully focused but of course, there is extra energy in the group when you know you’ve done an almost perfect [season],” he added.
“The confidence is great because we know how the league can end, is up to us. That gives us confidence and great energy in the training sessions, of course.
“The sun is shining in Manchester also so that gives us extra energy!”
Wednesday night in the NBA playoffs saw two games, with one series now level and another starting to pull away.
The Detroit Pistons responded after their Game 1 loss, beating the Orlando Magic 98-83 to bring the series to 1-1. After a tough first half, Detroit took control in the third quarter with a 38-16 run that decided the game. Cade Cunningham led the way with 27 points and 11 assists, as the Pistons held Orlando to a season-low scoring night.
In the other game, the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Phoenix Suns 120-107 to go 2-0 up in the series. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 37 points and nine assists, leading a performance where Oklahoma City pulled away in the second half after a close opening.

The Pistons head into the next game with their series level, while the Thunder now have a 2-0 lead and control of their matchup.
The latest Crimson Desert patch adds many new items, including the all-new Kuku Cooler. This is a food storage container that allows you to store ingredients and cooked foods that are uneeded or extras. Obtaining it is quite simple, too, as it is tied to a new side quest.
Here’s all you need to know about the Kuku Cooler in Crimson Desert. Read on for full details.
Head to Bloomwood Ranch to begin the quest (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Pearl Abyss)
To begin the side quest, you must head to Hernand. Check the map, and right next to Bloomwood Ranch, you should spot a new side quest titled “A Special Blueprint”. Head to the location and talk to the soldier to learn about a reward awaiting you for all the hard work you have done for the region.

Meet up with the artisan near the Kilnden Workshop to the west of Hernand City. He will hand over the Kuku Cooler blueprint to you. Examine it to learn the recipe, which requires the following ingredients:
Once all materials have been gathered, talk to the Kilnmaster Grimnir, who is nearby. Talk to him to open the Kuku crafting skill tree and select the Kuku Cooler. Once crafted, return to the artisan to show off your handiwork. After reporting to him, he will hand you another blueprint: Enhanced Kuku Cooler.
Craft the container by talking to Grimnir (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Pearl Abyss)
This one needs rarer ingredients, including:
As the home icon on the item should make it obvious, the Kuku Cooler is an item that can only be put down inside a home. At this point in the story, you should have your home at the Greymane Camp unlocked, allowing you to customize and decorate it as desired. Simply set down the Kuku Cooler from the menu and interact with it.

This container can only store consumable items, ranging from Ingredients and Provisions to Elixirs and even Horse Feed items like tonics. It is great for stowing away unnecessary items and raw materials so that they don’t hog up precious inventory space. While the Kuku Cooler comes with 40 inventory slots, the Enhanced one has 330 and can be expanded all the way up to 1000.
Note that cooking uses ingredients directly from the Kuku Cooler. This means you no longer need to carry ingredient items in your inventory since you can cook at any spot in the world and have your Cooler ingredients used in the process.

Ravi Shastri (l), Hardik Pandya, and Ruturaj Gaikwad
A brief pause at the toss caught attention as commentator Ravi Shastri appeared to forget the name of Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad during the IPL 2026 match against Mumbai Indians on Thursday.While conducting the toss, Shastri introduced Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya but stopped briefly before naming Gaikwad.“For the Blues (MI), it’s Hardik Pandya, for the yellow,” Shastri paused briefly before taking the name of “Ruturaj Gaikwad”.Pandya won the toss and chose to bowl first in the match between the two five-time champions.Mumbai Indians went in with the same playing XI from their previous game, with Rohit Sharma missing his third straight match due to a hamstring issue.For Chennai Super Kings, MS Dhoni is still recovering from a calf strain and has not played a game in IPL 2026.Speaking at the toss, Pandya said, “We are going to bowl first. I think a lot of boxes were ticked (in the last match against GT). The intensity was there. I think we needed that kind of a game where everyone comes in and chips in. Yeah, we had a perfect game. Yes, I think that was a conscious effort – that no matter what happens, intensity is in your control. I just wanted to make sure that we enjoy ourselves.”Gaikwad said, “We would have bowled first as well, but it was a 50-50 call. It looks a good wicket and coming here at Wankhede Stadium, you have to bat well irrespective of whether you’re batting first or bowling first. So it is just about putting up a great show even if you’re batting first. We are doing really well. It’s just that we are not able to cash in on a couple of moments.”TeamsMumbai Indians: Hardik Pandya (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Sherfane Rutherford, Mitchell Santner, Jasprit Bumrah, Krish Bhagat, AM Ghazanfar and Ashwani Kumar.Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Sanju Samson (wk), Sarfaraz Khan, Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube, Kartik Sharma, Jamie Overton, Noor Ahmad, Anshul Kamboj, Gurjapneet Singh and Mukesh Choudhary
