Dubois seeks to avenge 2023 defeat in heavyweight rematch with Usyk
Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois are preparing for their undisputed heavyweight title rematch at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, with Dubois seeking to avenge his 2023 defeat. During pre-fight discussions, Usyk showed respect for Dubois, saying: 'He's motivated, but I am, too.' Dubois, the IBF champion, expressed his desire to write his 'own script' and achieve greatness. Dubois's promoter, Frank Warren, praised Dubois's power and often underestimated boxing skills, forecasting an explosive bout given Usyk's tendency to engage in close-range exchanges. Despite Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez placing a significant bet on Usyk to win, Dubois confidently dismissed the prediction, saying that Canelo would lose his money and Usyk his unified belts.

Rory McIlroy's wild ride at home Open continues at Royal Portrush
Rory McIlroy's wild ride at his home Open continued on day two at Royal Portrush. The Northern Irishman, from an hour down the road in Holywood, began the day three off the lead but quickly made inroads with a birdie at the first. He was last in the field for driving accuracy on Thursday – hitting just two fairways – and that trend continued as he found the left semi-rough only for a brilliant approach to 18 feet to bring an opening birdie. But unleashing his driver at the par-five second, McIlroy was barely a foot from going out of bounds after carving his tee shot wide right – the opposite side to Thursday's affliction. The lie was so bad in heavy rough he was forced to take a penalty drop but fired out of the long grass and chipped to seven feet to save par. His Ryder Cup team-mates were faring slightly better with Tyrrell Hatton joining a seven-way tie at the top on four under after a birdie at the short third and Justin Rose one shot back after he made a two at the same hole. Tommy Fleetwood birdied his first two to get back to level par while his fellow winner in Rome Ludvig Auberg had two birdies in his first three to join him. The Swede's partner two years ago Viktor Hovland, after a difficult first day, had a brilliant start as he reeled off three successive birdies to move to one under. Left-hander Brian Harman – the 2023 champion at Royal Liverpool – joined the logjam at the top with birdies at his first two holes.

Who is Hannah Hampton? England goalkeeping hero filling Mary Earps' gloves at Euro 2025
Hannah Hampton puffs out her cheeks as she considers the magnitude of what came before. Mary Earps left big gloves to fill; the England goalkeeper, who not just won the Euros and was twice named the best in the world, but who changed goalkeeping and inspired a generation. 'I've got to just go and live up to her legacy,' Hampton says. The Lionesses have a new No 1 at Euro 2025. Hampton has been England's starting goalkeeper for all four matches so far in Switzerland, and would have been even if Earps had made Sarina Wiegman 's squad. Earps' shock decision to retire before the tournament, though, naturally increased the spotlight on Hampton, but she silenced any remaining doubters with her heroic display in the penalty shoot-out triumph against Sweden in the quarter-finals on Thursday, with a number of key saves during the match before two stops in the shoot-out drama. Yet if there was always attention on the goalkeeper, with nowhere to hide, the noise around Earps' retirement only added to the scrutiny. But Hampton also won her place. At 24, she is coming off a hugely successful club season with Chelsea where she played almost every minute of their unbeaten treble-winning domestic campaign. Upon arriving at Chelsea, Sonia Bompastor made Hampton her No 1, a decision also reached by Wiegman in April when she told her goalkeepers their roles for the Euros. It was only Earps' decision to quit, at 32, that was the surprise, not the confirmation Hampton would be replacing her between the posts. Rewind a few years, however, and even Hampton admits that this would have been an unexpected outcome. Hampton was part of England's squad at the last Euros but was dropped by Wiegman after the tournament amid reports of her behaviour and attitude at camp. At 21, Hampton was left out by her club Aston Villa, too, while the negative headlines and stories circulating made her want to quit completely. She didn't, and instead put her head down. It wasn't the first time Hampton had found motivation by proving people wrong, either. She was born with a squint, and as a child underwent several corrective procedures on her eyes. Doctors told her that she couldn't play football and then said to her parents that she wouldn't be able to become a professional. To this day, Hampton does not have depth perception, but has still made it to the highest level of the game. 'I'm sat here right now,' Hampton says. 'I think I can say that I've proved people wrong.' Hampton is a modern goalkeeper, and both Wiegman and Bompastor have been impressed by her abilities on the ball in building from the back as well as her shot-stopping. An upbringing in Spain, where Hampton lived from the age of five until just before her 11th birthday, perhaps helped lay the foundations of a versatile game. She played as a striker at Villarreal's academy, and remained an outfielder upon her family's return to England. The choice to turn to goalkeeper, as it often is, was a random one, filling in at a time of need and discovering a natural talent. It would not be until Earps' rise from self-doubting back-up to Lionesses star and England fan-favourite that goalkeeping became cool: at Lionesses games, it can often appear that there are as many children wearing England goalkeeper tops as the standard outfield home kit. Many of them, too, have Earps' name on the back. Even as Hampton now takes over, it is a lasting mark of what Earps achieved and there is gratitude for how she raised the bar for her profession. 'I think there's been quite a bit of scrutiny that she probably doesn't deserve with everything that she's achieved in the game and putting women's goalkeeping on the map for the younger generation inspiring to now be a goalkeeper,' Hampton says. 'It was never really a thing, and Mary's changed that. There's so many more young boys and girls taking part in goalkeeping, which was never the case when I was growing up.' Her impact is undeniable, but Earps was still accused in some quarters of putting herself above her country: an injury to Hampton or an unexpected suspension would have left the Lionesses with either the uncapped Khiara Keating or Anna Moorhouse in goal during the Euros. It has deprived England of an influential character in the squad, too, at a time when the defending champions will also be without a key leader in vice-captain Millie Bright – missing the tournament as she battles mental and physical burnout. Hampton, though, can offer nothing but praise. She sent Earps a message to congratulate her on an 'unbelievable' international career, adding that she wasn't expecting to receive one in return. 'I think that's all I really can do,' she shrugs. Beth Mead, sitting alongside Hampton during England's pre-Euros media day at St George's Park, reaffirms that she will have the support of the squad. 'Ultimately, Hannah just needs to play each game at a time, enjoy her football,' Mead says. 'She's there for a reason.' Hampton endured a shaky start to the quarter-final against Sweden but then made a few key stops, keeping England in the game at 2-0 down. And in the nerve-jangling shoot-out, she made two vital saves as the Lionesses eventually emerged victorious. The defending champions now face Italy in the semi-finals on Tuesday. But if the comparisons to Earps are still inevitable, Hampton is more aware than anyone of the role she now has to play and the path there is to follow. 'We're gonna miss her as a person here,' Hampton says. 'She's a big personality in this team and she glued us all together at times when we needed to be. I think it's been difficult for everyone to come to terms with what her decision is, but we have to respect that.' Hampton pauses. 'And yeah, now I've got to just go and live up to her legacy. I'll give it my best shot for sure.'
