Joaquin Buckley BOOSTED to 11/4 to win by TKO/KO in rounds 1, 2 or 3 - as he clashes with 2/1 outsider Kamaru Usman on a UFC Fight Night card

Bayern Munich's Club World Cup rivals missing several players as they didn't have enough annual leave left from day jobs
BAYERN MUNICH's opening Club World Cup opponents are facing a major crisis after several of their players failed to get holidays to play in the tournament. The 2024/25 Bundesliga champions will face amateur New Zealand side Auckland City in Cincinnati on Sunday evening. 4 4 4 Auckland have been drawn in a group of death along with Bayern, Benfica and Boca Juniors. And their slim chances of making the last 16 have been rocked by several of their players not being able to travel to America due to their job requirements back home. Interim head coach Paul Posa said: "All of the players have other jobs alongside their football commitments. "However, they have an extraordinary dedication to their football outside of their working hours. "Players have had to take annual leave from their jobs. "Indeed, some of the players were unable to take time to attend both the OFC Champions League competition and the Club World Cup." Auckland's squad is made up of forklift drivers, a fizzy drink salesman, real estate agents and a warehouse manager. Reflecting on Auckland's group of death, Posa added: "It's quite possibly the toughest group we could have drawn. "We have two traditional European powerhouses in Bayern Munich and Benfica and Boca Juniors, who are also capable of going all the way." 4 The odds may be stacked against Auckland, but Posa, who is in temporary charge of the side due to Albert Riera's absence, has a history of Club World Cup upsets. During his first stint with the club, Posa guided Auckland to a fifth-placed finish in the 2009 Club World Cup. Chelsea finally discover Club World Cup opponents as former star, 38, assists dramatic winner to set up reunion Posa would love nothing more than to repeat his success, but is a realist when it comes to his side's chances of doing so. "It's nice to dream we could be that competitive again," he said. "However, we're realistic about the challenge."

Jack Grealish sends defiant message in summer fitness snap after being exiled by Pep Guardiola - while Erling Haaland suffers Miami blunder after seeing Man City bromance broken up
Jack Grealish has traded his typical off-season downtime for intense summer training, as the winger shared a new photo of his ripped physique on social media. Grealish was excluded from Manchester City 's squad for the Club World Cup after Pep Guardiola 's side announced their 27-man travelling party earlier this week. City will head to the United States for the tournament, opening their campaign on June 18 against Moroccan side Wydad. They will also play Juventus and Al Ain in the group stage. Grealish is understood to have been omitted to facilitate a potential summer move. Pep Guardiola has already acknowledged that the winger could leave, while England manager Thomas Tuchel has told him he needs regular playing time to earn a recall to the national squad. But this has done little to dampen the 29-year-old's spirit, who looks in better shape than ever as his City team-mates gear up for their first game of the post-season on the East Coast. Grealish took to Instagram to caption his photo with the words: 'Late night runs on holiday. Feeling good,' accompanied by a running man emoji and a flexed biceps emoji. Meanwhile, Erling Haaland struggled to deal with the intense Miami climate, which sees temperatures often soar past 30 degrees celsius in the summer. He shared a photo on Snapchat, captioned: 'Norwegian in Miami = sunburned.' Haaland, who is one of Grealish's best friends at the club, shared another post on social media earlier this week as City jetted off for the start of the Club World Cup. He took a snap of him sat on City's flight to Florida, wearing club colours and sat on branded seats. The spot next to him, though, was empty - having seemingly been left free for Grealish. The forward, wearing headphones, had instead seemingly put some luggage on the seat next to him, and captioned the photo: 'Jack Grealish where are you,' accompanied by a crying emoji.
