Euro 2025 a 'fresh start' for youthful England, says James
June 27 (Reuters) - The Women's Euro 2025 campaign will be more like a fresh start than a title defence for England with the team full of young players looking to prove themselves on the big sage, forward Lauren James said. James, who made her senior international debut just over a month after England won the European title in 2022, has recovered from the hamstring injury which sidelined her since April in time for next month's continental campaign. "A fresh start, a bit like a new era ... hungry girls wanting to do well," the 23-year-old told The Guardian. 'It's not really about defending a title because it's a completely different team. This team's got a lot of youth in it and this will be some people's first big tournament," added James, who has scored seven goals in 27 appearances for England. England begin their Group D campaign against France on July 5, followed by games against Netherlands and Wales. The tournament runs from July 2-27.

EXCLUSIVE Sergey Lapin reveals exclusive details about Oleksandr Usyk's forensic training camp as champion prepares to deliver even more precise punishment in Daniel Dubois rematch
Oleksandr Usyk is preparing to dismantle Daniel Dubois all over again and this time, his team insists the punishment will be even more precise. For Team Usyk, victory is not just earned in the ring, it's built long before - through hours of video analysis, breaking down body mechanics, and a relentless pursuit of tactical upgrades. 'There is a lot of planning that goes into Oleksandr Usyk's training,' says Sergey Lapin, Usyk's long-time friend, camp manager, and one of the most trusted minds in his corner. 'We will spend days planning and analysing video. We watch fights and break them down. We break down the technique and the tactics. 'Then once we have all of that information, we put it into training. The next training session after watching the analytic video is inspiring. Oleksandr looks sensational.' In this camp, data is gospel. Every movement Dubois has made in recent fights is poured over by a team of specialists, roughly ten in all, who are tasked with dissecting and decoding their opponent in granular detail. It's not enough to know what Dubois throws. They want to know when, why, and how he moves his legs while doing it. 'I have made a special video for this camp,' Lapin explains. 'It's all of Daniel's mistakes. It's his mistakes from previous fights and also from the first fight with Oleksandr Usyk. The video also includes mistakes for Usyk that we have improved. 'It has mistakes from around five or six of Daniel's fights. We have about 10 different people reviewing all of the footage so we are picking apart everything about his style. We see how his legs work, how his punches are thrown, we see everything. And it's clear Usyk will beat him again on July 19.' But watching footage is only the beginning. The unique aspect of Team Usyk's methodology is how that information is translated into action. They don't just observe. They respond. 'We also have special training sessions, we call it analytic training,' Lapin says. 'Sometimes the boxer is involved and we break everything down. 'Sometimes it's just us going through things ourselves. It helps make Oleksandr Usyk great. It is one of the many reasons why he will be better than Daniel Dubois again.' The fight may be a rematch, but for Usyk, the approach is entirely new. Nothing is repeated. No formula is reused. Even the location of the training camp has changed, chosen deliberately to help stimulate growth, sharpen focus, and avoid complacency. 'We have decided to train at a new location this time,' Lapin reveals. 'We like change and we like upgrading our training. We are upgrading every day.

That is what we are doing with Usyk's camp. 'We are taking it to a new level every time. We are upgrading Usyk's training, we are upgrading Usyk's location, we are upgrading everything about him constantly. That's why, Usyk will be even better in the rematch than the first fight.' This evolution - constant, deliberate, and data-driven - is what Lapin and the team believe will separate Usyk from Dubois again when they meet on July 19.
