In 2017, ‘Money’ retired from the sport of boxing following his knockout of Conor McGregor. However, he didn’t retire from making money. Soon after his retirement, he announced he’d be interested in doing exhibition boxing matches. He quickly found a home for his first exhibition boxing match with MMA promotion RIZIN. The promoters of the event offered him nearly $10 million to fight the undefeated kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in a three-round exhibition boxing match....

‘Hitman’ was arrested in August on three-counts of felony robbery stemming from an incident in July at the Privat Martini Bar & Social Club in San Antonio. The WBC Middleweight Champion was in town to support his brother Jermell in his undisputed junior Middleweight championship clash with Brian Castano. Charlo maintained his innocence and stated that the whole situation was a misunderstanding due to his card getting declined. ‘Hitman’s’ claim is that his card got declined by his bank due to a fraud alert....

Chasing a target of 191 runs off 20 overs, the Warriors got off to a sorry start as their top three batsmen could not contribute much to the scoreboard. Robiul Islam (12), Stiaan van Zyl (21) and skipper Dawid Malan (3) returned to the pavilion before the 10th over. Also see – IPL Players List Sarkar then held up one end steadfastly while at the other end, Sabbir Rahman (25) and David Wiese (16*) contributed their bit....

Madison claimed the fourth and final place in the postseason with a 1-0 victory on the road against Lansing Ignite FC. J.C. Banks’ first-half goal moved the Flamingos and their large contingent of travelling support clear of fifth-place Chattanooga Red Wolves SC in the opening game of Saturday’s four-game slate. Lansing’s defeat opened the door for Greenville Triumph SC to move into the No. 2 seed with a victory later on Saturday night against South Georgia Tormenta FC, but a 3-1 victory for Tormenta FC at Erk Russell Park left Greenville in third place and set to be the visitor against Ignite FC in the other Semifinal....

Atlanta used its No. 1 spot in the MLS allocation ranking to acquire Guzan, who joins the expansion club on a multi-year contract. The 32-year-old is currently the backup to Victor Valdes at Boro, and the English club will keep hold of Guzan until the current Premier League campaign is over. Though Boro’s season ends in May, Guzan will likely make his Atlanta debut in July after the MLS transfer window opens....

The Boston Bruins forward is a Stanley Cup champion and two-time NHL All-Star, but on Monday he proved that even top players are human. With the Bruins embroiled in a shootout against the Philadelphia Flyers, Marchand stepped onto the ice as Boston’s fifth shooter. Flyers forward Travis Konecny had just scored the shootout’s only goal to that point, meaning Marchand had to beat Philadelphia goalie Carter Hart or the game would be over....

Aside from being newly super-rich — he signed a max five-year, $128 deal with the Wizards — Beal on Wednesday said he’s grown an inch in the offseason. Not a bad deal. MORE: 11 players ready to take over the NBA We’ll say preemptively that stacking money in his shoes doesn’t count. Assuming he’s telling the truth (and didn’t just stand a little straighter than usual when he was measured, which is the overwhelming likelihood) that’d mean he went from 6'5 to 6'6 at age 23....

Having the fifth overall pick in the NFL Draft, the Broncos passed on Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson and elected to focus on defense, as that is what won a Super Bowl just a few years prior. They ended up drafting Bradley Chubb with the fifth overall pick in the NFL Draft. At the time, the Broncos were obsessed with repeating history. They thought that one reason for Von Miller’s ascendance was his tutelage under DeMarcus Ware....

The home team kicked off their campaign with an impressive 2-0 win over Malmo, with Bruno Rodrigues and Ricardo Horta scoring in either half. They continued their rich form in their league fixture against Rio Ave on Sunday as well, recording a 3-2 away win.

Boykin, who was traded to Pittsburgh for a conditional fifth-round draft pick, is the latest to suggest such. MORE: Eagles position battles to watch | Sam Bradford gets green light for camp Kelly is “uncomfortable around grown men of our culture," the cornerback told CSN Philly. “He can’t relate and that makes him uncomfortable. He likes total control of everything, and he don’t like to be uncomfortable. “Players excel when you let them naturally be who they are, and in my experience that hasn’t been important to him, but you guys have heard this before me....

But later, Blue Jays columnist Shi Davidi reported that Morrow's injury is a little more serious. Morrow was hurt in the final inning of his outing Friday against the Pirates. He finished the inning and told the training staff of the injury when he returned to the dugout. "He said he just felt something pop," Gibbons said. Toronto recalled reliever Chad Jenkins from Triple-A Buffalo. In his only prior appearance for the Blue Jays this season, he allowed three runs and five hits in 1 2-3 innings April 26 against Boston....

I spoke recently to the Beyond the Waves podcast about Scottish football’s recent deal with Chinese online broadcaster PPTV, and had a lot of fun doing it. The show touches on everything from the likely impact in China (or lack of it) from this deal and soccer watching habits in China to how Celtic’s Irish independence roots mirror separatist feelings in the east. The bullet points: If the EPL can’t make it in China, then what chance does the SPFL have?...

After a demoralizing 2-0 defeat at the hands of cross-city rivals Arsenal, the Blues picked up two crucial wins, once against Spurs in the Carabao Cup semi-final and the other, a comprehensive one, against second-tier outfit Sheffield Wednesday in the fourth round of the FA Cup. The Cherries too, got back to winning ways last time out in the league and they will be looking to push for a spot in the top half of the table....

LONDON (Reuters) - World heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury is suing Britain’s anti-doping and boxing authorities over allegations he used a performance-enhancing drug. Fury, 27, was charged with a doping offence by UK Anti-Doping on June 24 after a urine sample taken in February 2015 - nine months before he beat Wladimir Klitschko to win his world titles - showed traces of the banned substance nandrolone. However, Fury’s legal team says the result of tests on the samples in March and May 2015 were contradictory....

Teofimo Lopez himself is pretty confident he will knock out Kambosos within the first round....

Except for Brad Keselowski, who left pit road with his jack still under his car. Keselowski was penalized for the incident and had to return to pit road to serve the penalty and so his team could remove the jack.
