Ukraine's next boxing star Daniel Lapin eyes the big stage

Yahooa day ago
Ukraine has a long, proud history of producing great boxing champions. Light heavyweight Daniel Lapin believes he is next in line. He is attempting to follow the footsteps of not only Usyk, but the likes of the Klitschko brothers, and Vasily Lomachenko. Speaking with CNN's Amanda Davies at their training camp in Spain ahead of the fight, Lapin is aware he's fighting for more than just belts and status.

LaLiga winger joins Ajax on five-year deal

Ajax have completed the signing of Spain Under-21 star Raul Moro. The 22-year-old winger starred for Real Valladolid last term despite their relegation to Segunda Division. Moro netted four goals and five assists in 33 LaLiga appearances and now joins the Amsterdam giants on a five-year deal. "It's no secret that we've been fond of this player for quite some time and have been in contact with him for a while. That's why we're very pleased to have been able to officially welcome Raúl to Amsterdam," said Ajax director Alex Kroes. "Despite strong interest from other clubs, he believes in the sporting vision we've laid out. He's quick, technically skilled, capable of playing on both flanks, and able to beat his opponent both on the inside and the outside. I'm convinced he's going to bring us a lot of joy." Moro will wear the number seven jersey at the Amsterdam Arena. 📸 Denis Doyle - 2025 Getty Images

Al-Hilal want Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak

Al-Hilal are looking to make a big statement by considering a massive offer to convince both Newcastle United and Alexander Isak over a summer deal, according to Sky Sports Italy journalist Gianluca Di Marzio. The Public Investment Fund-owned are keen on the Newcastle star, but the Magpies are not ready to let him leave the St James' Park club anytime soon. Liverpool were willing to offer around £120 million for Isak, but the Toons insisted he is not for sale this summer. Al-Hilal would be ready to offer more, but Newcastle are unlikely to be open to doing business with them despite having the same owners with the Saudi Pro League club.

Medals for Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics unveiled ahead of next year's Games

The medals for the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics were unveiled in Venice on Tuesday, 206 days before the games begin. The medals, created by the Italian State Mint and Polygraphic Institute (IPZS), will use recycled metal recovered from production waste, and will be created in induction furnaces powered by renewable energy, organizers explained. The medals are designed with two halves to represent both Olympic and Paralympic values, organizers revealed. Italian athletes Federica Pellegrini, who is a double Olympic medalist and Italy's most successful swimmer, and Francesca Porcellato, the winner of 15 Paralympic medals after appearances in 13 Summer and Winter Games, accompanied the medals by boat to the ceremony at Venice's Palazzo Balbi on the Canal Grande. 'The medals we have created to celebrate the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games represent the mastery and excellence of Italian design. Each one is a unique piece, the result of craftsmanship and innovation,' Paolo Perrone, President of the IPZS, said in a statement released by organizers. 'The Milano Cortina 2026 medals place the athlete at the center of the story, expressing the universality of sport, the struggle, and the emotion of victory,' he added. The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics will take place from February 6-22, followed by the Paralympic Winter Games, scheduled from March 6-15. Next year's Games mark the Winter Olympics' return to Europe, with the event having been hosted by Pyeongchang, South Korea in 2018 and the Chinese city of Beijing staging the Games in 2022. Ski mountaineering, where athletes will ascend and descend a mountain in Bormio, in the Valtellina valley, using a mixture of on foot and on ski techniques, will make its debut at the Games. Italy has twice hosted Winter Olympics in the past – Cortina in 1956 and Turin in 2006 – but it will be the first held in Milan.
