With a performance like that Moses has put himself up there as being a serious contender for a shot at s world title.

Big scalp maybe but not massively helpful for Itauma. Can he take a punch? Can he tough it out when things get difficult? These questions still need answers.

When asked if he would immediately put Moses Itauma against a world title contender like Joseph Parker...
I think you have got to based off that performance. If Dillian Whyte had won the fight you would stick him in no problem, so you have to think about Itauma.
It is a nice problem for Frank Warren to have. Do you put him in? I certainly would. I think he would be more than capable of fighting a 12 rounder against a decent opponent. You have to go on current form and he is electric at the moment.

Steve BunceBoxing expert on BBC Radio 5 Live
I was really impressed with that. There was a moment where he catches Whyte and he still takes pause. He has got a man on the ropes and he still takes a second to pick his shots.
For the final shot, he takes a step back to find room for the short right hook.
In your wildest dreams did you see it being a blowout like that?

Worth noting that Whyte wasn't happy when the referee waved that off, he may say it was premature but it was hard to see how he could've recovered to see the round out.

'Le Mans with mowers' - Inside the 12-hour race
BBC Every year in West Sussex, dozens of drivers line up at the start of a prestigious motor race - but the vehicles might be more at home in a back garden, and there is no tarmac in sight. This is Le Mow, an annual 12-hour lawn mower race in Wisborough Green, known as the most affordable way to take part in competitive motorsport. It runs all through the night, from 19:00 BST to 07:00 BST and whoever makes the most laps around the track wins. "I've raced cars on circuits and nothing feels as fast as this, they can get up to 55mph," Callum McIntyre, who is competing in this year's race, told the BBC. Competitors stop every 45 minutes to pull into the pit lane, refuel, and fix damages to the mower - or to the drivers. "I've not had any bad injuries, only broken ribs," Callum's teammate Glyn Saunders, 54, said. Teams are typically made up of three drivers who share the effort throughout the 12 hours. Just finishing the race is a huge achievement. Daz Whitehead, of the team Northerners Kick Grass, is the most successful driver in the history of the race. Last year's victory earned him his seventh overall win, coming 26 years after his first, but this year his goals have changed. "Mark Rostron, who was part of our winning team last year, sadly passed away a couple days after last year's race," Mr Whitehead said. "The idea is just to race in his memory and what will be will be in terms of result." 'No better feeling' Lawn mower racing was dreamt up in 1973 at a pub in Wisborough Green by a group of friends bemoaning the state of motorsport and commercialisation. One suggested they race lawn mowers and reclaim the sport's values. Fifty two years later, this still remains true. "It's one of the cheapest forms of motorsport, which is probably why most people are getting into it," Nick Webb, who is competing for the first time this year, said. "The cart will probably cost you about £1,000, and the entrance fee's £65." Indianna Winchester, 28, competed in motocross when she was younger but when her brothers started a lawn mower team, she could not resist getting involved. "It's a different kind of sport," she said. "The endurance is obviously so much longer and there's no suspension, so the back takes a bit of a beating." Despite previous female-only lawn mower races drumming up interest in the sport, Winchester a is the only woman taking part in this year's race. "It would be nice to see some more women coming through," she said. "I think if you've got the heart for it then why not go for it? There is no better feeling than beating the boys." Alfie Walliss, 23, has lived in Wisborough Green his entire life but only recently made the race something of an annual tradition. "We always saw signs but assumed it was just a cutting grass competition," he said. "Two years ago me and my family popped in and had a great time. We've never looked back." Whether a team comes 1st, 40th or doesn't end up finishing, they are all bonded by the comradery of taking on such a demanding feat. "I can confidentially say I've got 200 friends out there. And they're all friends," Peter Hammerton, the event's president said. "It's my life's hobby and I've never even raced a mower." At the end of a long 12 hours, Bullseye Racing emerged as the winner's of this year's race. Follow BBC Sussex on Facebook, on X, and on Instagram.

It's all well and good spending £200million on Sesko and Co. but Arsenal defeat exposes a HUGE hole Man Utd need to fill
MANCHESTER UNITED have splashed the cash this summer but the goalkeeper position remains a concern. Here are SunSport's key takeaways from the narrow 1-0 defeat at home to Arsenal. 2 2 No 1 ISSUE United have been linked with Gianluigi Donnarumma and David de Gea in recent weeks, and surely they will sign a keeper before the window shuts. Ruben Amorim has faith in Andre Onana — even if a lot of the fans do not — but he did not consider him ready to start here. The Cameroonian has missed the whole of pre-season with a hamstring injury. So Altay Bayindir, who has played throughout the build-up to the season, got the nod — and ended up costing his team the game. He should have been stronger under pressure from William Saliba and flapped a corner on to the head of Riccardo Calafiori. Bayindir has had problems with set-pieces before. Amorim and sporting director Jason Wilcox have two weeks to come up with a solution before the end of the transfer window. NO GOALS — AGAIN United mustered just 44 goals in the Prem last season — and here they were starting with a blank again. The Red Devils have spent £200million sprucing up their forward line this summer, and there were encouraging signs from Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha. Ex-Prem ref says there was no foul on Man Utd's goalkeeper by William Saliba during Arsenal loss But new £74m centre-forward Benjamin Sesko stayed on the bench until the 65th minute. On a couple of occasions before then there were crosses into the box but nobody there to put them away. Amorim said on Friday he believes Sesko can be United's No 9 for many years to come — and that is why they spent so heavily on him. So it seemed a strange call to leave him on the bench for so long. Clearly the fans agreed as he was given a huge ovation when he arrived. A couple of late half-chances went begging but the Slovenian did enough to show he will be a threat. MIDFIELD STILL AN ISSUE United have abandoned their bid to land Carlos Baleba at least until next summer because of Brighton's asking price. There is an interest in Sporting's Morten Hjulmand, while United are one of several clubs who admire Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace. But there is a chance they will not sign another outfield player, and fans will be worried about the options in midfield. Casemiro was excellent in Europe last season but did not have the same impact in Prem matches, while we are still waiting to see the best of Manuel Ugarte. United are going to be more exciting to watch this season — that is clear already — but will they still have a soft centre?

Homeowners can earn £100s a month from their driveway in the easiest sidehustle – how you can too
HOMEOWNERS could make easy money ahead of the new Premier League season - simply by having a driveway they're not using. A team of experts has analysed postcodes near the nation's major stadiums to determine where householders could earn the most money by renting out their driveways to fans. 3 3 3 According to Leasing Options, residents living near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (N17) enjoy the highest earning potential, with an average daily income of £22.25 throughout the year. Other lucrative areas include postcodes near Leeds ' Elland Road Stadium, where homeowners can make £22 a day, and Ch e lsea 's Stamford Bridge in London, offering £21.50 per day. For those living near Wembley Stadium, the country's iconic football venue that hosts the England National Team, cup finals and events like the recent Community Shield, the earning potential is similar at £21 per day. Likewise, residents near Scotland's Hampden Park and Wales' Cardiff City Stadium can expect to earn around £21 a day. Further down the rankings, homeowners in Liverpool living near Anfield and Everton Stadium can still earn a respectable £13 per day, with prices often more than tripling on matchdays or during special events. With the Premier League season kicking off this weekend, renting out an unused driveway could be one of the simplest and most effective sidehustles for homeowners looking to make some extra cash. It isn't just sporting events either, as some of the highest earners this year so far are music events - including high-profile concerts and festivals. These events often result in single-day earnings that surpass what would typically be made in a week - making them a particularly lucrative option for those living nearby. At the top of the list is Oasis at Heaton Park in Manchester, where driveway rentals can fetch an average of £165.67 per day during the event. Following closely is Beyonce's tour stop at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, with homeowners earning an average of £150.26 per day during her shows. Shocking moment 'rude' dad parks car on STRANGER'S driveway to avoid school run chaos - before furious mum confronts him Similarly, the Wimbledon Championships in London provide an average earning potential of £101.08 per day for residents near the All England Tennis Club. Other notable events include Guns N' Roses at Villa Park in Birmingham, where locals can earn £97.40 daily, and Sabrina Carpenter's concert at Hyde Park in London, which offers average earnings of £94.92. Stadiums that can provide income opportunities year-round Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London): £22.25/day Elland Road (Leeds): £22.00/day Stamford Bridge (London): £21.50/day Wembley Stadium (London): £21.00/day Hampden Park (Glasgow): £21.00/day Cardiff City Stadium (Cardiff): £21.00/day OVO Arena Wembley (London): £21.00/day Marshall Arena (Milton Keynes): £15.00/day Anfield (Liverpool): £13.00/day Everton Stadium (Liverpool): £13.00/day Leasing Options analysed data from JustPark to identify the UK's most profitable areas for driveway rentals. The study focused on over 25 major cities and key 2025 events, mapping more than 750 postcode districts using public data. Commercial listings were excluded, location accuracy was verified and districts with insufficient data were removed, leaving over 550 reliable areas. Median weekday and weekend rates were averaged to calculate daily earning potential, while event-day prices were separately assessed for major fixtures. Commenting on the data, Mike Thompson, Chief Executive Officer at Leasing Options, said: 'With demand for event parking soaring across the UK, it's clear that homeowners have a real opportunity to turn their unused driveways into a valuable source of extra income. 'Our data shows that locations near major stadiums like Tottenham Hotspur, Elland Road and Wembley consistently attract high rental prices. 'During big-name events, these figures can more than triple. "It's a smart, low-effort way for people to benefit from the buzz around them, especially in areas where parking is at a premium. 'As we look ahead to a packed 2025 event calendar, the potential for driveway rentals is only set to grow." How to rent out your driveway For those interested in turning their unused driveway into a steady source of income, there are a handful of steps you can follow. Check Eligibility - Review your mortgage or lease agreement to ensure renting out your driveway is allowed, and also check with your local council to confirm you don't need planning permission. Choose a Platform - Platforms like JustPark, YourParkingSpace and ParkOnMyDrive make it easy to list your driveway. You can sign up, create a profile and provide details about your parking space, such as dimensions, location and availability. Set Your Price - Research current rates in your area using the platform's tools or by browsing other listings. You can even adjust the price for special events or peak times to maximise earnings. Add Photos and a Description - Make sure upload clear photos of your driveway and write a good description, highlighting features such as proximity to venues, security and ease of access. Manage Bookings - Set your availability for weekdays, weekends or specific dates. Also use the platform's booking system to approve requests and communicate with renters. Ensure Insurance - Consider public liability insurance to cover accidents or damages while someone is using your driveway. Track Your Income - You must keep records of your earnings and remember that if they exceed £1,000 annually, you'll need to declare them to HMRC under the Property Income Allowance. This comes as Sun Motors recently looked at the family motors that lose the least value over time - with a luxury compact SUV taking the top spot. New data from the analysis of 40 million UK car sales over a typical three-year ownership period highlights which family models hold their value best. Experts from Carmoola have recently released their new Car Depreciation Index, developed with vehicle data specialists Brego, which ranks the top-performing family cars for resale value. They found that the Porsche Macan is the slowest-depreciating family car sold in the UK - losing just 19.9% of its value over three years. The Macan is particularly popular in the UK due to its blend of sporty performance, SUV practicality and the prestige of the Porsche badge. It's championed for being agile and powerful, with a well-tuned suspension that makes it enjoyable to drive on various UK roads, from city streets to country lanes.
