Anthony Joshua hopes to tee up his long-awaited clash with Tyson Fury by delivering a statement performance against Kristian Prenga in July. Now, ‘The Gypsy King’ has confirmed whether he would like an additional fight before facing Joshua at the end of the year.
After Fury’s win against Arslanbek Makhmudov last month, talks progressed quickly for what had been one of the most elusive match-ups in British boxing history, but Joshua’s team maintained that he needed a ‘warm-up’ before that mammoth fight.
When it was revealed that an agreement for Fury-Joshua was finally in place, ‘AJ’s summer fight against Albania’s Kristian Prenga on July 25 was also announced.

Speaking to talkSPORT Boxing, promoter Frank Warren explained that Makhmudov was supposed to be Fury’s fight before the big one, but that Joshua’s tragic car crash pushed their plans back, with another interim fight for Fury now expected.
“Thatpushed his [Joshua’s] fight back, so they were really supposed to be fighting in August against each other, that has been pushed back.
“Come October/November, Tyson will have been out of the ring against for seven months so he will want to be fighting in-between. I have spoken with him and that is what he wants to do, so we will see.”
A low-risk opponent has to be anticipated considering what is at stake for 37-year-old Fury, but fans will hope that the two-time world champion selects a more recognisable opponent than Joshua, as he looks to build further momentum ahead of their grudge match.
Federico Valverde was taken to hospital and needed stitches to heal a “small cut” after a bust-up on Real Madrid’s training ground with teammate Aurelien Tchouameni.
The midfielder denied that he and Tchouameni “came to blows” during the confrontation but Real Madrid have opened disciplinary proceedings against both players over the training-ground incident. A club statement read: “Real Madrid CF announces that, following the events that took place this morning in the first team training session, it has decided to open disciplinary proceedings against our players Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni.”
The pair were reported to have fought at the end of Thursday’s training session, following a previous altercation on Wednesday, and Valverde was then revealed to have suffered a head injury that will rule him out of most of Real’s remaining games this season.
Valverde posted a lengthy statement in response on his Instagram story – without mentioning Tchouameni by name – in which he insisted the incident had been “blown out of proportion”.
The Uruguay midfielder wrote: “Yesterday (Wednesday) I had an incident with a team-mate during a training session. In a normal locker room, these things can happen and are usually resolved internally without it becoming public knowledge.

“Obviously, there’s someone behind this, spreading the story quickly, and with a season without titles where Real Madrid is always under scrutiny, everything gets magnified.
“Today we had another disagreement. During the argument, I accidentally hit a table, causing a small cut on my forehead that required a routine visit to the hospital.
“At no point did my team-mate hit me and I didn’t hit him either, although I understand it’s easier for you to believe we came to blows or that it was intentional, but that didn’t happen.”

Valverde’s description of a “small cut” was in contrast to the club’s medical update, which read: “After the tests carried out today on our player Fede Valverde by the Real Madrid medical services, he has been diagnosed with a cranioencephalic trauma.
“Valverde is at home in good condition and will need to rest for 10 to 14 days, as indicated by medical protocols for this diagnosis.”

That timescale rules Valverde out of Sunday’s Clasico – in which Real’s arch-rivals Barcelona will clinch the title should they avoid defeat – and potentially the remainder of Real’s season, which concludes on May 24 at home to Athletic Bilbao.
It is the latest in a string of recent controversies at the club, with defender Antonio Rudiger reportedly apologising to the squad for another training-ground clash.
Star striker Kylian Mbappe was then reported to have been involved in an angry exchange with a member of the club’s coaching staff who was acting as an assistant referee in a training match.
Mbappe, who is recovering from a hamstring injury and is a doubt for this weekend’s game, has also faced criticism for a trip to Italy with his partner having arrived back shortly before kick-off in last Sunday’s win at Espanyol.

The Vegas Golden Knights may be the favorites in their playoff series with the Anaheim Ducks, but they have their hands full as the showdown shifts to Southern California for Friday’s Game 3.
The Western Conference semifinal is tied 1-1, but the Ducks were the better team in both contests, especially the 3-1 victory on Wednesday that evened the best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal series.
“We’re two games removed from probably the best game we’ve played, or one of our best games all season,” Vegas captain Mark Stone said in reference to the Knights’ 5-1 victory over the Utah Mammoth on May 1 to secure the first-round series. “It hasn’t been our best the last two, but the good news is we can improve. It’s not like we’ve played our best hockey, and we’re 1-1.”
The younger Ducks used their speed in both contests to out-chance and out-shoot the Golden Knights, with that ability impacting the teams all over the ice.
Being assessed eight minutes in penalties in the first six minutes of Game 2 did not help Vegas’ execution — even if the Ducks failed to capitalize on the string of power plays — because the Golden Knights could not get in sync until the third period.

“We need to have the puck more in their end,” Vegas coach John Tortorella said. “A lot of times, we’re one and done. We need to create more pressure there, and I think that will hurt their attack.”
The quest for the Golden Knights, who finished atop the Pacific Division, is to use their veteran savvy to turn the series.
“We’re going to keep our composure, get about our business,” Tortorella said. “As I’ve said, this team has always been really good in these types of situations, so I have full confidence we’re going to try to find our way.”

The Ducks return home brimming with confidence from the Game 2 victory and having sported a perfect record (3-0) in their arena during the opening-round series against the Edmonton Oilers. They also are boosted by how they played the first two games of this series.
Anaheim made the playoffs for the first time in eight years because of its offensive attack, and that was on display against Edmonton. The Ducks were in the top half of the league offensively in the regular season (3.23 goals per game) and netted 26 goals in their six-game series to eliminate the Oilers.
However, the Ducks finished 29th in the league in goals against (3.51) during the regular season.
The Golden Knights were held to four goals in the first two games, with one an empty-net tally in their series-opening 3-1 win and another a meaningless goal with less than six seconds on the clock in Game 2 to snap Lukas Dostal’s shutout bid.

“That’s not our tradition, playing that type of game, a low-scoring affair …,” Ducks coach Joel Quenneville said. “This is the only way you’re going to be successful in the playoffs. You got to win games like (Wednesday). I think that we showed that it’s going to take everybody to play that type of game.”
The Ducks have kept the Golden Knights in check with their motors both on the forecheck and when defending. Gone are the days of hook-and-hold defensive play, and Anaheim is showing the new method of controlling play.
“I think the way to beat them is just outpacing them,” Ducks forward Ryan Poehling said. “It’s not just with speed. It’s how we play … guys are supporting one another. When we get in that rhythm and take quick shifts, it’s a hard team to play against.”
NEW DELHI: Vinesh Phogat has complied with the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) mandatory six-month notice requirement for athletes returning from retirement, sources close to the wrestler have claimed, even as fresh controversies continue to cloud her comeback to competitive wrestling.Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!Vinesh, who reversed her retirement decision in Dec 2025, is set to compete in the senior open ranking series in Gonda from May 10-12 in the 57kg category. However, her return has been mired in disputes involving registration issues on portal, a whereabouts failure in out-of-competition testing, and questions over her eligibility under WADA regulations.

The latest hurdle concerns Article 5.6.1 of WADA’s anti-doping code, which requires athletes in a Registered Testing Pool (RTP) to provide six months’ written notice to both the international federation and national anti-doping agency before resuming competition after retirement.The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has sought clarification from United World Wrestling over whether Vinesh fulfilled the rule before announcing her comeback.“If she is eligible only then she can compete otherwise not. If Vinesh had sought an exemption, we would have been notified by the authorities,” WFI president Sanjay Singh said.However, sources close to the wrestler told TOI that Vinesh had formally informed both WADA and UWW in June 2025 about her intention to return later in the year and had submitted the required Form 1 under Article 5.6.1.“If that wasn’t the case, how did the anti-doping team from ITA, on the instructions of UWW, come for Vinesh’s sample collection in Bengaluru in Dec 2025?” the source asked. “The dope test happened six months after she adhered to WADA’s six-month notice rule in June 2025.”However, despite clearing the eligibility hurdle, Vinesh’s hopes of representing India at the upcoming Asian Games remain bleak. Under WFI’s selection policy, only medallists from the 2025 Senior Nationals, 2026 Federation Cup and 2026 Under-20 Nationals can compete in the Asiad trials later this month, effectively shutting the door on Vinesh regardless of her performance in Gonda.
Madison Square Garden always attracts the biggest stars courtside, and it was no different during Game 2 between the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Several high-profile names were in attendance, including Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, with the actor turning heads after repeatedly grabbing his girlfriend during the game.
Hater Report shared a clip of Chalamet on X (formerly Twitter), in which the Dune star appeared to get handsy with his girlfriend on the sidelines.
Thanks for the submission!

“Timothée Chalamet couldn’t stop palming Kylie Jenner a*s like a basketball at the Knicks game lmao,” Hater Report captioned the post.

In the clip, Chalamet and Jenner appeared to be celebrating the Knicks’ 108-102 win over the 76ers, sharing a kiss courtside. However, the actor was repeatedly seen grabbing his girlfriend during the celebrations, prompting reactions from fans.
@HaterReport Dude couldn’t stop asserting his dominance, chill out bro

@HaterReport Timothée said “mine” with his whole chest.
@HaterReport Now that’s a real man …lol…You know if u are offended by that it is maybe u never loved anybody…
While most fans chose to see the funny side of the couple’s courtside romance, a few suggested that the actor’s behavior reflected poorly on their relationship and questioned its longevity.
@HaterReport That’s because he knows she’s going to drop him here within the next fiscal quarter

@HaterReport He better she will dump him and move on faster then he can blink 😂😂😂
Though fans remained divided in their opinions, suggesting that the couple would not last based on a single courtside moment may be a stretch.
The pair have been together for over a year and have been regulars at Knicks games, despite Jenner being based in Los Angeles.
While speculation about Chalamet’s relationship will likely remain a talking point among fans, the actor will be a happy man heading into Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series.

The Knicks have made back-to-back semifinal appearances for the third straight season and have one foot in the conference finals as they look to take a 3-0 lead in Philadelphia on Friday.
Timothee Chalamet prioritizes the Knicks’ playoff game over Kylie Jenner and the MET Gala
The Met Gala remains one of the biggest events on the annual calendar, especially among movie stars and fashion icons. However, Timothee Chalamet skipped the event in favor of the Knicks’ semifinal game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The actor appeared courtside for Game 1 of the series on Monday, while his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, attended the Met Gala alone. Bleacher Report highlighted this on X (formerly Twitter).
“Timothée Chalamet SKIPPED the Met Gala to watch the Knicks in Game 1 😭🔥He’s one of us 🙌,” Bleacher Report captioned the post.
Chalamet skipping the gala for the Knicks highlights his loyalty to the team, as the actor remains a regular attendee at Madison Square Garden.
Manchester City are looking to defend their Under-21 title with another victory over Manchester United. The young Blues won a derby on their way to play-off glory last season and have a semi-final tonight with their eyes set on successive finals.
Hoping to be in Ben Wilkinson’s starting XI at the Joie Stadium will be centre-back Harrison Parker. The 19-year-old moved to City in 2023 straight from United, having joined Old Trafford after his early years in Arsenal’s academy.
It is quite the list of clubs to already have on his CV as a teenager and Parker’s move to City was one of those rare academy transfers that makes its own headlines. Since arriving at the City Football Academy though, it has been anything but straightforward.

Parker describes it as a ‘shock to the system’ when he arrived, not least because he was injured when he arrived and had to recover from that before he could be in the best shape to learn new things. The competition for a position has also been fierce. Last year Jahmai Simpson-Pusey became the first centre-back to win the Premier League 2 Player of the Year award and his partnership with Max Alleyne was the foundation of the City Under-21 team that went on to lift the trophy.
This season, Stephen Mfuni has followed those two out of the door on loan and Parker has been one of the reasons that 17-year-old Kaden Braithwaite – who made his senior debut in 2024 – has spent the majority of his campaign playing for the Under-18s.
Youth football is tough and rarely linear, with academy players needing to be hardened mentally for the rough that inevitably comes with the smooth. As difficult as it was for Parker getting a different kind of education at City, he has started to build a good rhythm this year and is confident that City have set him up to follow in the footsteps of the centre-backs in front of him that have already started their journeys in senior football.
“It’s been tough. Coming from two big clubs to another big club is hard and you want it to all go smooth, but it’s part of football. You learn a lot of things and it’s only going to help my career in the long term,” he told the Manchester Evening News.

“Just the way that City play football, it adapts you for men’s football. It’s a totally different way. I think going to a different team you’d have to change it again because that’s what the manager wants but even being with the first team you learn so much each day. You’re with the best players in the world and it’s great.
“I think City is massively different from everyone. They’ve just got such a style of play that no one else can do. That’s why a lot of academy players from here have gone on to have such great careers because technically they’re ready for men’s football.”

Stefon Diggs is a free agent, was just found not guilty of assault charges by a Massachusetts jury, and played for the Minnesota Vikings for five seasons a decade ago. According to Bleacher Report, he could be a prime target for the Vikings, a club with a WR3 vacancy.
The reunion would bring production, familiarity, and experience.
Diggs’s free agency will likely heat up now that his legal woes are in the rearview. Minnesota cannot be ruled out of the sweepstakes.

BR: Vikings Make Sense as a Diggs Landing Spot
Right after the draft, BR’s Joseph Zucker sized up Diggs’s employment options in 2026, and the Vikings were mentioned.
He wrote, “The Kansas City Chiefs are in a much different spot organizationally. They’re aiming to contend despite quarterback Patrick Mahomes recovering from a torn ACL. Like the Raiders, the Chiefs didn’t take a receiver until Day 3. Cincinnati’s Cyrus Allen went in the fifth round, so signing Diggs to a short-term contract makes sense for Kansas City.”

“Would one of Diggs’ old teams consider a reunion? Jordan Addison has yet to make a true breakthrough with the Minnesota Vikings. The team’s depth really falls off once you get past him and Justin Jefferson as well. The Vikings have one quarterback on a one-year contract (Kyler Murray) and another who may be heading into a make-or-break season (J.J. McCarthy). Bringing Diggs back to Minneapolis has some merit.”
The Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins might make sense for Diggs, as well.
Vikings’ Need for a WR3
The Vikings had a WR3; his name was Jalen Nailor. But he’s from Las Vegas, and when the Raiders dangled a fat contract in front of him in March, Nailor dipped. He’s a Raider. Then, the Vikings, equipped with nine draft picks in 2026, picked zero wide receivers last month, despite extensive scouting of the position.
Advertisement
That leaves Tai Felton, a 3rd-Rounder from last year, who, based on draft stock, should be ready to roll as the WR3. There’s one problem: Kwesi Adofo-Mensah selected him, meaning he could be another example on a long list of draft gaffes. Felton played 26 offensive snaps last year. It’s unclear if that was by design, with the Vikings ready to peel off the tape in 2026 — or if Felton looked like a buffoon behind the scenes.
No Nailor. No rookie WR draft picks. A mixed outlook on Felton. Those elements create the theoretical need for a WR3.

Sporting News‘ Billy Heyen on the Vikings’ WR3 stakes: “The top of the depth chart is awesome, of course, with Justin Jefferson. The good news for the Vikings is that free agency still includes multiple veteran WRs who have yet to sign anywhere. Those are the three big names left, and while Diggs, Jauan Jennings and Deebo Samuel likely could go elsewhere, they’d have to feel pretty good about their chances of playing ample snaps in Minnesota.”
“They’d also be joining the Vikings’ new QB, Kyler Murray, who is in prove-it mode himself. It’d be a shock to see Minnesota make it to the new season without some kind of WR addition. At this point it’s a matter more of ‘who’ rather than ‘if.’”
Diggs’s Production Last Year
Advertisement
Diggs made an immediate impact in his first season with New England. Less than a year after tearing his ACL, he started every game and quickly became Drake Maye’s go-to target, catching 85 passes for 1,013 yards and 4 touchdowns. Such immediate and high-level production typically leads to a swift contract extension.
Retaining Diggs would have provided the Patriots with a valuable bridge to the future, particularly if they aimed to draft a rookie wide receiver. The strategy is common across the NFL: pairing a young receiver with an experienced veteran to foster their development together.
Even in 2025, Diggs remained a game-changer. Among all NFL wideouts who ran at least 50 routes, he ranked eighth in total EPA (Expected Points Added), a key metric for offensive impact. Players delivering that level of production are rare, even at 32 years old.

Mandatory Credit: Eric Canha-Imagn Images.
If he popped off for 1,013 yards last year in New England, he can for damn sure tabulate 700+ this year in Minnesota. New England may also make it simple and re-sign Diggs, now that he beat the allegations.
The WR Options

If Diggs is a nonstarter for Vikings’ free agency options, the good news is that plenty of other reputable alternatives are on the open market. In addition to Brandon Aiyuk, who could be gettable via trade with the San Francisco 49ers, these options remain for Minnesota and other WR3-needy clubs:
Keenan Allen
Tyreek Hill
DeAndre Hopkins
Jauan Jennings
Deebo Samuel
Almost all, including Diggs, would bring a degree of excitement and past Pro Bowl flavor.
Diggs’s free agency should heat up as soon as now.
Editor’s Note: Shortly after this article was published, Jennings signed with the Vikings.

Luke Littler beat Luke Humphries to claim a third successive night win and a record-equalling sixth victory of the season in the Premier League.
The 19-year-old set the record last year and now has two more nights in the league phase to break it.
The win in Leeds backed up victories in Liverpool and Aberdeen in the past two weeks and has seen him open up a five-point advantage at the top of the standings.
The 2024 champion, who is guaranteed a place in the play-offs at London’s O2 Arena on 28 May, beat Michael van Gerwen 6-5 in the quarter-finals, before edging past Jonny Clayton in another last-leg decider in the semis.

He won by the same scoreline in the final – for the second successive week against defending champion Humphries.
The final was a sublime game with both players averaging in excess of 100 and more than 45% on the checkouts.
Littler missed darts to break in the fifth leg, and Humphries had the opportunity to break and seal victory in leg 10.
But Littler raised his level in the decider to take the win and deny Humphries a third straight success in Leeds.

“I’ve just got to keep going – I can go and beat my own record,” Littler told Sky Sports.
“Even the win against Jonny [Clayton, in the semi-finals], I knew I was a few points clear. I’m in the clear now and I’ve just got to keep top spot.”
The McEvoy stable, comprising Tony and Calvin, is counting on give in the turf to aid Bossy Nic at Morphettville.
She lines up in the Group 3 Proud Miss Stakes (1200m) on Saturday, chasing a further Stakes addition to her resume.
Although tempted by the Group 1 The Goodwood (1200m) at Morphettville this weekend, the father-and-son trainers chose the gentler fillies and mares set weights for Bossy Nic.
As a juvenile in her second race, Bossy Nic won the Group 3 Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes (1200m) held at Flemington, with expectations she could progress to Sydney’s Autumn Carnival thereafter.

Since then, Bossy Nic has failed to reproduce that spark, recording four wins across 29 starts for almost $740,000 in earnings, yet no more Stakes placings.
She did achieve bronze in the Group 2 Tristarc Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield in the previous spring.
Bossy Nic has raced twice this preparation on wet tracks, filling a place on both: second returning at Flemington, then third at Caulfield most recently on April 11.
Saturday’s soft track at Morphettville is music to Calvin McEvoy’s ears.

“She wants cut in the ground,” McEvoy said.
“She’s a nice mare, she’s going well and is a capable mare on her day and as soon as she gets some soft ground, she improves, which is what she’s had two runs this time in.”
In current markets, Bossy Nic holds the third line of betting, with Aviatress leading at $4.20 ahead of Naifah ($4.40).
Saturday sees senior jockey Daniel Stackhouse aboard, replacing apprentice Jackson Radley from the mare’s two previous starts this campaign.
