Joe Joyce vs. Filip Hrgovic live results, round-by-round updates, ring walks for major heavyweight fight
Uncrowned has Joe Joyce vs. Filip Hrgovic live results, round-by-round updates, highlights, ring walks and start time for the Joyce vs. Hrgovic fight card on Saturday afternoon at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, England. Joyce and Hrgovic, two veteran contenders coming off defeats, clash in a must-win fight to remain at the world level in the heavyweight division.
Joyce (16-3, 15 KOs), a 2016 Olympic silver medalist, managed wins over Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker in a stellar run to start his professional career until Zhilei Zhang toppled him in back-to-back inside-the-distance defeats in 2023.
"The Juggernaut" rebounded with a late stoppage of Kash Ali in March 2024, but fell short again to Derek Chisora in the fight after in a significant upset. Joyce, 39, now enters into another high-stakes heavyweight clash with Hrgovic knowing he needs a win to keep his career at the top level alive.
Hrgovic (17-1, 14 KOs) announced himself to the boxing world with a decision win over the China's big-punching Zhang in August 2022. He was mandatory challenger for the IBF title but ultimately lost that position to Dubois, suffering his first career defeat on the Queensberry vs. Matchroom 5 vs. 5 card this past June.
Elsewhere on the card, David Adeleye (13-1, 12 KOs) and Jeamie "TKV" Tshikeva (8-1, 5 KOs) collide for the vacant British heavyweight title that was recently relinquished by Fabio Wardley.

Finn Russell hoping for strong showing from Bath fans at Premiership final
Scotland fly-half Finn Russell is looking forward to running out at the Allianz Stadium to the roar of Bath's sell-out support rather than with the jeers of England fans ringing in his ears. The British and Irish Lions number 10 kicked 14 points to help Bath beat rivals Bristol and secure a return to the Gallagher Premiership final. Advertisement Russell, who has recovered from cramp which forced him off during the closing stages at The Recreation Ground, hopes to feel plenty of positive vibes from the Twickenham stands on Saturday โ in stark to his previous visits when in Scotland blue. Finn Russell was part of the Scotland side edged out 16-15 by England in their Guinness Six Nations match at the Allianz Stadium in February (Adam Davy/PA) 'From what I have heard, a lot of Bath fans bought tickets a while back to make sure they had them, as they did last year,' Russell said. 'A lot of them will be getting the train over to Twickenham at the weekend and it is always good playing in front of a sold-out stadium. 'Having your home fans there, hopefully the majority of tickets are Bath fans, that will be special.' Advertisement Scotland vice-captain Russell added: 'I know the other side of playing at Twickenham โ usually when I am there, it is 70-odd thousand fans against me. 'But it is always special playing in that stadium and hopefully our fans can make as much noise as possible.' Russell, 32, remains determined to see Bath put last season's defeat by Northampton behind them and land a first title since 1996. 'I think that motivation has been there for everyone,' said Russell, who has been called up for his third successive Lions tour this summer. 'After getting that final and losing it last year, it is always quite tough to come back in that next year. Advertisement 'But I think everyone came back in pre-season in good shape and kind of ripped in straight away. 'At the start of the year, the goal was to win the Premiership. We have gotten ourselves in a good spot just now to hopefully go and do that. 'We have almost got back to where we wanted to be and hopefully can go one step further this year.' Bath finished 11 points clear of Leicester at the top of the Premiership table, having won 14 games. Johann van Graan's side have already lifted the Premiership Rugby Cup and European Challenge Cup this season as they look to close out the campaign with yet more silverware. Johann van Graan's side have already tasted domestic and European success this season (Andrew Matthews/PA) 'The playing group have been fantastic and it is great that everybody wants to play in the final, but ultimately, we can only select 23 players,' said Bath head of rugby van Graan. Advertisement 'In our training again today, it doesn't matter what team you were in, everybody was in (to the session). 'Yes, some individuals will be disappointed, but that's natural. 'We see that as a positive, because everybody wants to play for this team and pulls in the same direction because they want to achieve something together.'

Black sports trailblazer Billy Boston, 90, becomes rugby league's first knight
Associated Press Billy Boston, who blazed a trail for Black sportspeople in Britain during the 1950s and '60s, became the first rugby league player to receive a knighthood in a special ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday. The 90-year-old Boston was given his knighthood at an investiture ahead of the official announcement of King Charles' birthday honors this week. It was brought forward amid concerns for Boston's health, Britain's Press Association reported. Born in the Welsh capital Cardiff, Boston is one of the greatest players in the history of rugby league, the 13-man code that split 130 years ago from the more widely played 15-a-side rugby union. He played 488 times for Wigan from 1953-68 and finished his career with a British-record haul of 571 tries. He also became the first Black player to represent Britain on the Lions tour Down Under in 1954, scoring 36 tries in 18 appearances in Australia and New Zealand, and featured in a total of 31 international test matches. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer described Boston as a 'true trailblazer who's contributed hugely to rugby league.' 'Boston is a legend of the game who overcame prejudice to represent Great Britain and opened the door to a more diverse game," added Starmer, who wrote personally to Boston to congratulate him. 'He's left a truly enduring legacy and the first knighthood in rugby league could not go to a more deserving player.' Boston's honor came after a sustained campaign by local councillors and lawmakers as well as leading figures in rugby league, who have frequently pointed out the relative lack of recognition for the code โ played largely in the north of England โ compared to rugby union, which has seen 20 knights anointed. 'It is a historic wrong," Starmer said, "that a sport which is the backbone of so many communities has waited so long to receive this honor." Wigan owner Mike Danson said he was 'thrilled' by Boston's award, describing it as 'a richly deserved honor which means this most humble of men rightly receives, at last, fitting recognition for his extraordinary efforts." Boston, whose father was from west African country Sierra Leone, has been living with dementia. ___ AP sports: recommended

First-ever HBCU women's wrestling program names head coach
Delaware State University is making HBCU history. The school has officially named Kenya Sloan as the inaugural head coach of its new women's wrestling program, making DSU the first HBCU to launch a varsity team in the sport. This groundbreaking hire comes ahead of the 2025โ26 season, when women's wrestling will become a full NCAA championship sport. With this move, Delaware State positions itself as a trailblazer in expanding opportunities for Black female student-athletes. Sloan arrives at DSU from Sacred Heart University, where she served as an assistant coach for their women's wrestling team. She is a 2022 NAIA national champion from Campbellsville University and a former Junior Pan-American gold medalist. She also led the Knoxville Girls Wrestling Club to a Tennessee state freestyle title and has coached at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center. "This is about creating space and legacy," Sloan told "I'm honored to lead this groundbreaking program at Delaware State." This appointment makes Delaware State University the first historically Black college or university to sponsor varsity-level women's wrestling. DSU Director of Athletics Tony Tucker emphasized the significance of the hire in an official statement. "Kenya Sloan is the right leader at the right time," Tucker said. "She brings championship experience and a commitment to developing student-athletes at the highest level." Recruiting efforts for the program have already begun, with the team set to begin competition in winter 2025. This decision underscores the ongoing evolution of HBCU athletics, particularly in expanding gender equity and Olympic sport representation. With Sloan at the helm, Delaware State isn't just building a wrestling team-it's setting a national precedent. As the first HBCU to make this move, DSU is carving out a new lane in collegiate athletics, elevating both the profile of women's wrestling and the visibility of HBCU sports programs.
