Tyson Fury wants third fight with Oleksandr Usyk
Usyk's brutal fifth-round stoppage of Dubois made him undisputed world heavyweight champion for a second time after he initially won all the belts against Fury last May in Riyadh before he was forced to vacate his IBF title.

Fury went into retirement after he tasted a second defeat to Usyk on a split decision last December but signalled his intentions to return earlier this month and served notice to the undefeated Ukrainian in the early hours of Sunday morning.
During a video of Fury on a run on his Instagram, the 36-year-old 'Gypsy King' said: 'Massive shout out to Oleksandr Usyk.
'He did a fantastic performance tonight over Daniel Dubois, a good, young, game lad who came for a good tear, so congratulations to both men but Oleksandr Usyk knows there is only one man who can beat him.
'I did it twice before and the world knows it. I have been f***** good and proper.
'I took it like a man and here is me, not f****** around at some boxing match, I am out on the road running.
'I am running tonight. I came home, I did my job and I got myself back and I am the man.
'I am the f****** spartan and no matter what anyone wants to say, I won those fights. Guaranteed, 100 per cent. There is only one man. GK (Gypsy King) all day every day. Get up!'
Queensberry chief Frank Warren, Fury's promoter, acknowledged a third fight with Usyk would be 'big' but reiterated WBO mandatory Joseph Parker is next in line.
'Tyson has made it very clear to me he would love to fight at Wembley and would love do that fight. And it would be a big fight, I am quite sure of it,' Warren admitted.
'As a fan, I would like to see the Joe Parker fight. Joe deserves it, he is on a run himself similar to what Daniel was on and that is the fight that has been ordered.
'One way or another it will either happen or Joe will fight for the vacant title.'

Mikey Moore to Rangers met with word of caution as two transfer uncertainties linger
Gers are in talks over a season-long loan deal for the Tottenham kid and Kris Boyd has some advice on how to handle him Kris Boyd insists Rangers will need to show patience with incoming Tottenham superkid Mikey Moore. The teenage winger, 17, is poised to sign a season-long loan deal with the Ibrox club in the coming days. Moore is one of the hottest prospects in British football and made history by becoming Spurs' youngest-ever Premier League debutant. The rising star - who can play across the front line as a winger or a number 10 - will add strength and depth to Russell Martin's squad. But with the futures of Cyriel Dessers and Hamza Igamane up in the air, Boyd reckons finding a new striker should be the biggest priority. Speaking at the SPFL Season Kick-off Party, he said: 'Moore's a young boy who'll be looking for an opportunity to kick on but there's a little bit of a risk attached to a first loan move. 'He's shown in any opportunities he's had at Tottenham that he has a chance. 'But it can be difficult because a lot of Premier League players in England who go out on loan go to a level where they've got time to adapt, whether it's the Championship or other teams who don't have to play under the same pressure as Rangers and Celtic have. 'It could be a good addition but even if they bring him in, the Cyriel Dessers and Hamza Igamane situation needs to be addressed one way or another. 'Everybody needs clarity on that pretty quickly. The league starts on Saturday and your two most important players on the pitch are your goalkeeper and your number nine. 'Rangers are no further forward as to who their number nine is - the top goalscorer from last season is still being linked with moves away, he's not played a lot of football, and he's still got a level of fitness to get to. 'For me, there's still no guarantee who's going to be that number nine for Rangers. 'If Mikey Moore is to come in, it's a big ask for him to come in and be Rangers' number nine and lead the attack. 'But Russell Martin will say he does need reinforcements in the forward area." Rangers have one foot in the Champions League third qualifying round as they head to Greece with a precious 2-0 first leg lead. But Boyd expects Panathinaikos to come flying out of the traps tomorrow night in the scorching heat of Athens. He said: 'If you go on last week's performance against Panathinaikos, there's still a bit of work to be done for Rangers. 'With Russell Martin coming in and implementing a new style, it's not going to be fixed overnight and there's no doubt there were going to be some teething problems and that's going to be the case for a number of weeks. 'When you're coming in and you want to implement the style of play that he wants, you're going to make mistakes. 'There's going to be scary moments within the games. 'If you go back to last week, Rangers would've bitten your hard off for a 2-0 victory before the game. 'The way that the game played out, there was an opportunity to go and get a third and fourth, and the tie could have potentially been over. 'There's still a lot of hard work to be done before Rangers get through - you've got to take the heat factor into account, and going to Greece is never going to be easy. 'We saw enough last week that there's enough in that Panathinaikos team to cause Rangers problems if they give up the opportunities they did at the start of the first-half last week. 'But that's the way he wants to play and you always run the risk when you're doing that."

Emma Raducanu digs deep to beat Elena-Gabriela Ruse in first round in Montreal
Raducanu arrived at the WTA 1000 event fresh from an impressive semi-final showing at the Citi Open last week, but immediately faced five break points in her first service game. The world number 33 weathered the storm and despite a run of six games in a row midway through the match, Raducanu was largely forced to battle and scrap to ensure she chalked up a sixth win from her last eight matches. Raducanu was swiftly back in action after her last-four run in Washington, but quickly in trouble as Ruse forced five break points in the opening game of the match. In more hot and humid conditions in Canada, British number one Raducanu showed her resilience and leaned on her improved serve to claim a crucial hold before more issues were forthcoming in her next service game. After Raducanu again survived, having been taken to deuce, she sensed her moment and was able to break Ruse to move 3-2 up after the Romanian sent down two double-faults. YES! @EmmaRaducanu breezes through round one at @OBNmontreal ❤️🔥 She beat Elena-Gabriela Ruse 6-2, 6-4 to advance & continue her strong form#BackTheBrits 🇬🇧 — LTA (@the_LTA) July 28, 2025 It sparked a run of six consecutive games for Raducanu as she clinched the opener by a 6-2 score, but an early break at the start of the second set was followed by an immediate response from Ruse. While Raducanu forced more break points on Ruse's serve, it was not until the seventh game of set two when the 2021 US Open champion broke again to move 4-3 ahead. It started a run of three consecutive breaks before Raducanu kept her cool to close out victory at the first time of asking on serve after a demanding one-hour-and-37-minute battle in the country of her birth. Next up for Raducanu is a second-round meeting with 32nd seed Peyton Stearns.
