Leon Edwards, Sean Brady headline UFC card this weekend in London

Brady (17-1), ranked No. 5 in the division, is on a two-fight win streak. His only loss also came against Muhammad, and a victory over Edwards could earn him his first title opportunity.

Canelo vs Crawford announced: 'Fight of the Century' to be promoted by Turki Alalshikh, Zuffa boxing
The highly anticipated super-fight between Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Terence Crawford is set for Saturday, September 13 2025, in Las Vegas. The two boxing titans will clash for the undisputed super-middleweight title, a fight that has been billed as the "fight of the century." Alvarez, the Mexican pound-for-pound champion, will face the undefeated American Crawford in what promises to be a historic showdown. The event will be streamed globally on Netflix, drawing worldwide attention. Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, confirmed the details of the fight. He has dubbed it the "fight of the century" and revealed that this would be the first boxing event promoted in collaboration with UFC president Dana White. "Turki wants to make the biggest fights that the fans want to see in boxing, and this is right up my alley," White said. "Are you kidding me? The first boxing fight I'm going to promote is Canelo versus Crawford? It's literally a once-in-a-lifetime fight." Alvarez, 34, holds all four major world titles in the super-middleweight division. His most recent victory over William Scull in May 2025 saw him reclaim the IBF title and reaffirm his undisputed champion status. After the fight, Crawford was confirmed as his next opponent, with both men facing off in the ring. "I'm ready to show once again that I am the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world," Alvarez said in a statement. With 63 wins from 67 professional bouts, including just two defeats and two draws, Alvarez is eager to add another triumph to his illustrious career. Crawford, 37, a four-division, two-weight undisputed champion, will move up from light-middleweight for the bout. With a perfect record of 41-0, Crawford has made it clear that he believes he is the best in the world. "My perfect record speaks for itself," Crawford said. "I am the best fighter in the world, and no matter the opponent or weight class, I have always come out on top." The fight will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, and the build-up will include a three-city media tour. The fighters will first visit Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 20 June, followed by stops in New York (22 June) and Las Vegas (27 June). The Alvarez-Crawford showdown is expected to captivate boxing fans around the globe, marking a monumental moment in the sport.

ESPN's 'Sports Center' host Jay Harris shares prostate cancer diagnosis
Jay Harris, a long-time anchor for ESPN's "SportsCenter," announced his prostate cancer diagnosis during a Thursday appearance on Good Morning America. The 60-year-old journalist shared his personal story and emphasized the importance of men talking openly about their health, particularly in light of the disproportionate impact of prostate cancer on Black men. Harris, who has worked with ESPN since 2003, revealed that he will undergo surgery to remove his prostate on June 10. He expects to take about a month off from SportsCenter to recover and return to work fully healthy. Harris noted that his diagnosis wasn't a total surprise given his family history, as his father had also battled prostate cancer and emerged victorious. Harris' latest PET scans showed that the cancer had not spread to other organs, providing some relief, though he acknowledged that further details would only emerge during surgery. JUST IN: ESPN @SportsCenter anchor @JayHarrisESPN shares prostate cancer diagnosis: 'I'm having surgery on Tuesday. I'll be away from SportsCenter for about a month to recover. Then I'm coming back better than ever.' — Good Morning America (@GMA) June 5, 2025 In his conversation with GMA host Michael Strahan, Harris highlighted the importance of men, particularly Black men, discussing health matters more openly, especially when it comes to topics like prostate cancer. He shared a personal experience of discussing his diagnosis with friends during a golf trip, which sparked meaningful conversations about health and family medical histories. Harris has also spoken to fellow SportsCenter anchors, including Hannah Storm and Brian Custer, both of whom have dealt with cancer. By sharing his experience, Harris hopes to normalize these discussions and encourage other men to take charge of their health, similar to the proactive steps many women take with gynecological care. The American Cancer Society estimates over 310,000 new cases of prostate cancer in 2025, with September marking Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall update: Interim champ claims UFC goat is 'retired'
Interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has suggested that details for his next bout are finalised, telling fans he now has a 'date and location' for his return to the Octagon. The British fighter, 32, made the comments during a conversation with former UFC champions Daniel Cormier and Chael Sonnen, amid continued speculation over a potential showdown with Jon Jones. 'This is exciting times for the heavyweight division,' Aspinall said. 'I've got a date and a location. The active heavyweight champion is here to fight them all – let's get it on.' Aspinall won the interim title in November 2023 with a first-round knockout of Sergei Pavlovich. The bout was hastily arranged after Jon Jones withdrew from a title defence against Stipe Miocic due to injury. Aspinall later defended the interim belt with a 60-second knockout of Curtis Blaydes in July, becoming one of few UFC fighters to risk defending a provisional title. Jones returned to action in November, stopping Miocic in the third round to retain the full heavyweight title. However, the 38-year-old has yet to commit to a unification bout with Aspinall and has since fuelled retirement rumours. 'Jon's retired,' Aspinall added. 'What are you talking about, guys? He's had a fantastic career... but we move on. I'm the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.' With the UFC schedule already filled through September, Aspinall's next fight appears most likely to take place in October or later. His comments have been interpreted as confirmation that he has reached an agreement with the UFC for a future bout, although an opponent has not been announced. Aspinall boasts a 15-3 record in MMA and is 8-1 in the UFC. All of his UFC victories have come by stoppage, with seven of them ending in the first round. His only loss in the promotion was the result of a knee injury against Blaydes in 2022. Despite being widely regarded as one of the sport's greatest athletes, Jones's career has been marred by legal issues and multiple failed drug tests. He remains undefeated in competition, with his only official loss coming via disqualification in 2009. As the heavyweight division seeks renewed momentum, Aspinall's active approach has positioned him as a central figure in shaping its future.
