Eubank fined over 'misuse of social media'
The use of a sauna is not banned by the board - there is no written rule or regulation that specifically outlaws it.However, the board told BBC Sport last month boxers and their teams are verbally advised not to use a sauna as a way to "rapidly lose weight" and it is seen as an "inappropriate means" to cut weight.It means the sauna use was being investigated in regards to Eubank's weight cut and how much weight he might have lost using a sauna.The Southern Arena Council met on July 1 and Eubank appeared to satisfy the board in his explanations.The board, Eubank Jr's team and promotion company Boxxer did not respond to a BBC Sport request for comment.After handing over his weight fine to Benn and being penalised £100,000 by the board for slapping an egg across Benn's face, Eubank has now lost a total of £485,000.Eubank must pay his latest fine before he fights Benn in their rematch on 20 September in London.

Dillian Whyte FUMES and calls out presenter in x-rated rant after announcer got his nickname terribly WRONG in build-up to Moses Itauma clash
Dillian Whyte was left bristling and bemused after an announcer messed up his boxing nickname - and accidentally described him as an infant abductor. The heavyweight typically goes by the moniker of 'body snatcher' - a reference to his aggressive style of targeting the torso. But at the Grand Arrivals in Riyadh, ahead of his Saturday showdown with Moses Itauma, Whyte suffered the embarrassment of being called the 'baby snatcher'. It's safe to say his new tag didn't go down well, with Whyte later confronting announcer Thomas Schreiber about his mishap, though their encounter was good-natured. 'Who was the announcer? I think it was Thomas Schreiber. Where is he? It's fight week. They're playing games,' he told Secondsout, scanning the room for the announcer before calling him over. 'It's a Queensberry show. They're going to f*** with me. It ain't nothing new. It's crazy that he said that. Thomas Scheiber, I respect him as a professional, but clearly, he's unprofessional. Thomas, come here and speak to me. That's wild. I'll rush him - joking! What was with that, man?' Schreiber came over and was instantly in backtracking mode: 'I apologise. It was a mistake. I wrote it down and the wrong word came out. It was an honest mistake. 'For the rest of the week, it'll be "The Body Snatcher." Unfortunately, I only get one chance at it, and sometimes...' Whyte cheekily quipped: '[Maybe] the booty snatcher, but the baby snatcher is wild, bro.' After letting his dissatisfaction be known, he was gracious towards Schreiber before conducting the rest of his interview. The veteran, 37, is hoping to pull off an upset against his 20-year-old opponent in Riyadh on Saturday night. Whyte, a two-time former WBC interim heavyweight champion, has a record of 31-3 and has won his last three fights. He is bidding to be the first man to stop Itauma, who has had a relentless start to his professional career in the ring with a logbook reading 12-0.

Mikel Arteta lands surprise new role alongside Arsenal position
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has vowed to help 'disrupt the game at the top level' after landing a surprise new role with a sportswear company. Arteta has been appointed global ambassador and direct of performance at Under Armour, with the Spaniard to work in the position alongside his role at the Gunners. The company said Arteta, 43, would provide guidance on product development, talent identification and leadership. He will also 'bring elite leadership, tactical insight and a relentless drive for performance to the brand's global vision', they said. 'The collaboration with Under Armour is the perfect opportunity for me to work with a partner committed to making young athletes better,' Arteta said. 'I'm passionate about providing a platform for the next generation of players coming through in football and the top level of talent already signed with the brand show that they are too. 'We share the same mentality in always striving for more by finding new ways to innovate and disrupt the game at the top level. Our values in pursuing greatness are closely aligned and together, I'm confident we're going to achieve great things in football.' The announcement comes just days ahead of the new Premier League season. Arteta's side will aim to go one better than their second place in the previous three campaigns. They begin the 2025-26 season with a visit to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United on Sunday. Arsenal have splurged £208million on revamping Arteta's squad, including the £64m signing of highly-rated striker Viktor Gyokeres.

Horse racing tips: ‘More to come after a big personal best' – Templegate's unstoppable Wednesday NAP
TEMPLEGATE tackles Wednesday's action looking to build the bank for another big weekend of racing. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. GLADIADORA (3.00 Salisbury, nap) Clocked a big personal best when winning very nicely at Bath earlier this month. She was always up with the pace and showed a good turn of foot to pull nicely clear of her rivals. That effort came over this mile on quick ground and the handicapper has been more than fair with a 2lb hike in the weights. Taylor Fisher stays on board and his 3lb claim will come in handy. CROWN OF LIGHT (2.30 Salisbury, nb). Can shine under William Buick. The Norwegian has a decent strike-rate when riding for trainer William Knight and they team up with this youngster who scored nicely here last time out. ANJO BONITA (4.45 Beverley, treble) Hit the crossbar when second at Pontefract last time and saves her best for this trip. She has dropped below her last winning mark and can strike. TORALOU (8.25 Ffos Las, Lucky 15) She is lightly raced for her age and went close in a better race than this at Windsor last time. A 1lb rise in the weights gives her a big say.
