How to watch Joyce vs Hrgovic: TV channel and live stream for boxing tonight
Joe Joyce and Filip Hrgovic will go toe-to-toe in the ring tonight in Manchester, in what is a pivotal fight for both men.
For Joyce, he can ill-afford another defeat at this stage of his career. The 39-year-old has lost three of his last four fights, the most recent of those losses coming last summer to Derek Chisora, and this appears to be a final chance to prove he is still a force in the heavyweight division.
Hrgovic also has something to prove, with this his first fight since he was stopped by Daniel Dubois last June to lose his unbeaten record and miss out on the IBF interim heavyweight belt, which has since led Dubois to a full world title.
The Croatian has stepped in to fight Joyce as a replacement opponent, after Dillian Whyte was forced to pull out of an all-British showdown with a finger injury.
There was further disruption to the card when Lawrence Okolie also picked up an injury in training, meaning his scheduled bout with Richard Riakporhe was also removed from the bill.
It is still an intriguing undercard, with Olympian Delicious Orie making his professional debut and David Adeleye fighting Jeamie Tshikeva for the British heavyweight title.
TV channel: The event will be broadcast on DAZN. Subscription plans start at £14.99 a month. Coverage of the prelims starts at 4:10pm BST, with the main undercard from 7pm and ring walks for the main event expected at around 10pm.
Live stream: Subscribers will be able to watch on the DAZN website or app.
Live blog: Follow all the action from the entire card with Standard Sport's LIVE blog!

Knicks Urged to Trade Top Star Straight Up for Kevin Durant
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The NBA offseason never fails to deliver, and this summer looks like it'll be no different. Basketball, specifically the NBA, has become a year-round spectacle, and the league continues to keep fans locked in well beyond the final buzzer of the NBA Finals — and this offseason should be just as captivating. The expectation is that there will be a ton of player movement, especially regarding the stars of today's game. At the forefront of things in the coming weeks will be Phoenix Suns superstar forward and future Hall of Famer, Kevin Durant. Durant is likely to be traded from the Suns this summer, and there will be numerous teams wanting to land the 15-time All-Star. One team that could be in line to land Durant is the New York Knicks. The Knicks may not have the most enticing package for Durant, but they could offer the best player for him: Karl Anthony Towns. FS1's Nick Wright believes the Knicks should aggressively pursue Durant by offering Towns.

New York could undergo numerous changes this offseason, as it is believed that only Jalen Brunson is safe from trade talks. Outside of that, anyone on the roster is up for grabs, especially if the Knicks have a real shot at Durant. Towns is a name that could be on the move, although his first season in New York was a success. However, a report a day after the Knicks lost to the Pacers in the playoffs revealed that the Knicks players and coaches had expressed frustration with Towns and his defensive habits. His time in the Big Apple could be winding down, and that could mean landing Durant. All signs point to Durant likely having a new home for the upcoming 2025-26 season. Only time will tell, but it appears that trade talks surrounding Durant will intensify in the coming weeks. ESPN's Shams Charania reported the news on Wednesday that in the coming weeks, many teams will call about the availability of Durant. The 36-year-old has spent the last two-plus seasons in Phoenix and New York, and could take advantage of the situation brewing in the Valley of the Sun.

17-year-old golfer to compete against pros at a course her grandpa wasn't allowed to play
17-year-old golfer to compete against pros at a course her grandpa wasn't allowed to play BATTLE CREEK, Mich. - Sixty years ago, Barney Gibson was a caddy at the Battle Creek Country Club. Being Black, he wasn't allowed to play. This weekend, his granddaughter will be on the first tee, competing in a professional golf tournament on that same course. Battle Creek's Amiyah Gibson was given a sponsor exemption and will be part of the field for the 12th annual FireKeepers Casino Hotel Championship, with the three-day event starting Friday, June 6, at the Battle Creek Country Club. "It's a full-circle moment for us. Really special. My dad was a caddie 60-some years ago, so for my daughter to be playing and me getting to caddie for her, it's really special," said Aaron Gibson, father of Amiyah. "For her to be able to participate in this tournament is just amazing." Gibson talked about her connection to her grandfather in her application letter to play in the event. "Although my grandpa was extremely good at golf, while he was growing up, he was not allowed to play on the golf courses based on the color of his skin. This was so powerful that it motivated me to learn the skill of golf so that I could show others who look like me that they can play golf, too, regardless of skin color," Gibson said. The 17-year-old Gibson graduated last week from Lakeview High School, where she was a standout varsity golfer for four years and an All-City Tournament champ in the fall. She will go from playing against high school players a few months ago to competing against some of the best women golfers in the world. The FireKeepers event is part of the Epson Tour, the official qualifying tour of the LPGA Tour. "This is really exciting. It was always my dream to play professional golf," Amiyah Gibson said. "This will be a great experience, to see these professional golfers play. And, to get to play with and against them." Gibson qualified for the MHSAA state finals all four years while at Lakeview, and will be playing at Wayne State University next year. She will open play in the first round on Friday with the hope of holding her own against a talented field. As she was getting ready for a practice round on Tuesday, she talked about the upcoming weekend. "I think I'll be a little nervous at the start. That first tee shot will be tough. But after that, it's just golf," Gibson said. "Just really want to go out and have fun, soak in every last experience I can have out there. And, maybe put up a couple numbers, that would be kinda cool also." The 2025 FireKeepers Casino Hotel Championship will have a 144-player field competing for a $225,000 purse. Included in the field will be Michigan State golfers Valery Plata and Yurika Tanida as well as Michigan golfer Hailey Borja and former Michigan golfer Monet Chun. The 2023 winner of the FireKeepers event will be back in Siyun Liu. Overall, six different countries will be represented at the tournament. Admission is free. Donations will be accepted, with all net proceeds from the event benefiting The Haven locally. "We always enjoy bringing this tournament to Battle Creek. Always brings a lot of international talent to the area and some great golfers," said FireKeepers Casino Hotel CEO Frank Tecumseh. "It's a family-fun event. Getting to see some great athletes play the sport like it's supposed to be played." Just like all the Epson players who are looking to eventually play in the LPGA, Gibson is hoping this weekend can lead to bigger things. "If you would have told me 10 years ago, when I first started playing, that 10 years later I would be playing in a professional tournament, I would say you were crazy. Shows how far I've come," Gibson said. "I'm always looking to further my career in golf. I want to become a professional golfer. So events like this, and playing in college next year, will help make that happen."

Former MLB GM Turns Heads With Surprising Paul Goldschmidt Prediction
Former MLB GM Turns Heads With Surprising Paul Goldschmidt Prediction originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When sharing a lineup with AL MVP frontrunner Aaron Judge, it's easy for veteran first baseman Paul Goldschmidt's contributions to fall under the radar. Advertisement That may be why longtime MLB executive Jim Bowden omitted Goldschmidt, himself a former NL MVP, from his projected All-Star Game rosters. In a Wednesday column, Bowden instead predicted Toronto Blue Jays superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will start at first base for the American League. He also guessed the Tampa Bay Rays' Jonathan Aranda and Detroit Tigers' Spencer Torkelson make the squad as backups. Apparently, posting a .327 average, .859 OPS, and 1.5 bWAR for a division leader doesn't do it anymore. In Bowden's defense, Goldschmidt's power numbers are down, and he's only hit six homers through 59 games. The eight-time All-Star is on track for his fewest home runs over a full season, though his .859 OPS marks his highest since his 2022 NL MVP campaign. Advertisement However, Guerrero has a lower average (.279), OPS (.821), and roughly the same bWAR (1.6) as his Yankees counterpart. Although Torkelson has 14 home runs for the AL Central-leading Tigers, he's also hitting .236 with a 1.4 bWAR. 'He leads AL first basemen in home runs (14) and RBIs (42),' Bowden explained of selecting Torkelson. 'I didn't want to carry three first basemen but felt like he had to make this team.' New York Yankees first baseman Paul GoldschmidtRick Osentoski-Imagn Images If anything, Aranda should be starting because he leads all first basemen in bWAR (2.3) and OPS (.916). Goldschmidt deserves a backup spot, with either Guerrero or Torkelson fighting it out for the third and final bench position. Advertisement Luckily for Yankees fans, they can ensure Goldschmidt earns a July trip to Atlanta. All-Star Voting begins at noon ET on Wednesday, June 4, and the fans determine who starts the Midsummer Classic. We can see it now: Paul Goldschmidt, you are the AL starting first baseman, and you can thank the Yankees' loyal fanbase.
