Gold for Sligo boxer Jason Clancy in prestigious Haringey Box Cup in London
Maduzi, in his first International tournament, was very unlucky not to get the win and it was felt the referee was a bit harsh in the 3rd round.
Maduzi will learn from this experience going forward. This was Clancy's third attempt at Haringey gold and this year he didn't hold back, the Sligo boxer had a fantastic tournament, winning his final bout in style against an English Champion.
This gave him a standing count in the third to be crowned Haringey Box Cup champion in the 86kg category.
Clancy and Maduzi's coach, Jason Clancy snr, who couldn't attend, said he was gutted he couldn't be there in the boys' corners, but is very proud of their performances over the weekend.
'They showed me the training and dedication myself and James have done behind closed doors in Seán McDermott has paid off and we are very proud of them,' he added.

Ireland international comes off the bench to inspire West Brom win
Updated at 17.17 IRELAND INTERNATIONAL Mikey Johnston came off the bench to inspire West Brom's 3-2 win over Wrexham in the Championship today. The 26-year-old looked to be on his way out of the Baggies during the summer, but a proposed £5 million (€5.8 million) move to Brazilian side Flamengo collapsed after it was met with a fan backlash. With the two sides drawing 1-1, Johnston was introduced in the 73rd minute today and proceeded to register two assists in seven minutes to inspire a victory for the visitors. Fellow Ireland international Jayson Molumby completed 90 minutes for Ryan Mason's side, while James McClean — who also claimed an assist for Wrexham's opening goal — captained the Welsh outfit, with Tom O'Connor and Eoghan O'Connell unused subs. Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney saw West Brom spoil their Championship return on home soil at the SToK Cae Ras. The Hollywood stars were among the capacity 10,656 crowd as Wrexham played at home in the second tier of English football for the first time since beating Rotherham 3-2 on 15 May, 1982. But goals from Isaac Price — who added a double to his opening-day winner against Blackburn — and substitute Jed Wallace condemned Wrexham to a second successive Championship defeat after their opening loss at Southampton. Lewis O'Brien provided hope with an equaliser three minutes before half-time, but there was no Hollywood ending for Wrexham in front of their celebrity owners despite Sam Smith's stoppage-time strike. Kieffer Moore started for Wrexham despite initial fears he had suffered serious ankle ligament damage in their season opener. Record midweek £10 million (€11.5 million) signing Nathan Broadhead was among the substitutes as boss Phil Parkinson made one change from the late defeat on the south coast, with McClean recalled against his former club. Advertisement McClean was the first to go close after 13 minutes, reaching Ryan Barnett's cross that sailed over the head of Albion goalkeeper Alex Griffiths but steering wide of the far post. Tom Fellows snatched at a chance at the other end, but the impressive winger was instrumental in Albion taking the lead. McClean diverted Fellows' cross into Price's path, and the Northern Ireland international took full advantage of the space afforded to him by sweeping home. Isaac Price strikes to give the Baggies a 1-0 lead against Wrexham ⚽️🔵 — Sky Sports Football (@SkyFootball) August 16, 2025 Broadhead made his debut earlier than expected after Josh Windass pulled up, but Albion almost doubled their lead through Darnell Furlong's skimming shot. Wrexham got up a head of steam just before the interval, with McClean testing Griffiths at the base of a post. Moore headed the resulting corner over and then set up the equaliser with a cross that McClean failed to control. "The Dragons roar!" 🐉 Lewis O'Brien scores his first goal for Wrexham to bring his side level 💥 — Sky Sports Football (@SkyFootball) August 16, 2025 The ball fell to O'Brien, who struck it into the ground and past Griffiths for his first Wrexham goal. Broadhead almost opened his Wrexham account after the restart, but West Brom were the more dangerous side. Danny Ward was grateful to see a couple of attempts fly wide of his goal and held Nat Phillips' header under his crossbar. The clearest chance, though, fell to Conor Coady, who sent a free header wide of the Albion goal from eight yards out. Jed Wallace provides an instant impact, scoring just 28 seconds after coming on 🤩⏱️ — Sky Sports Football (@SkyFootball) August 16, 2025 It was to prove a costly miss as Wallace scored with his first touch after 74 minutes when spotting and finding a gap at Ward's near post. Ward was left badly exposed nine minutes from time when Price was granted the freedom of the area to head home Johnston's cross. "He's proving excellent value!" 🤑 Isaac Price has a brace and has put West Brom two goals up at the Racecourse Ground 👏 — Sky Sports Football (@SkyFootball) August 16, 2025 Substitute Smith scored with almost the final kick in the fifth minute of stoppage time, but West Brom were worthy winners. Wrexham score to make it 3-2 just before the whistle blows ⚽️⌛️ — Sky Sports Football (@SkyFootball) August 16, 2025 In League One, Aaron Connolly scored with a clinical finish for his first goal since joining Leyton Orient in their 2-2 draw with Stockport. Having set up Connolly's goal, former Ireland U21 international Ollie O'Neill then scored a last-gasp equaliser to earn his side a point. A brace from Ireland international James Collins helped Leyton Orient beat Plymouth Argyle 3-2. Ex-Waterford forward Owen Oseni got a goal back for the visitors — his third in three games — but it proved immaterial. Former Ireland international David McGoldrick continued a promising start to his career with Conor Hourihane's Barnsley. The 37-year-old striker scored his second goal in three games amid a 1-1 draw with Bolton. Additional reporting by Paul Fennessy

Rory McIlroy hints at shock Ryder Cup pick as European PGA Tour outsider enters the frame for Bethpage Black selection
Rory McIlroy has sparked Ryder Cup buzz after dropping a major hint on a surprise name who could force his way into Luke Donald's team HALL PASS Rory McIlroy hints at shock Ryder Cup pick as European PGA Tour outsider enters the frame for Bethpage Black selection RORY McILROY has dropped a Ryder Cup shock while speaking after his second round at the BMW Championship. The five-time major champ reckons English outsider Harry Hall has 'maybe got a chance' of making Luke Donald's team for the September showdown against USA at Bethpage Black. 2 Rory McIlroy reckons Harry Hall could potentially force his way into Luke Donald's Ryder Cup plans 2 Harry Hall has been in fine form this season on the PGA Tour Advertisement Down ace McIlroy has already qualified for the biennial tournament but hinted at a possible surprise inclusion as he picked out English star Harry Hall. McIlroy fired a superb second-round 66 at the BMW Championship to move to four-under and inside the top 15. But he's just as interested in the leaderboard around him - where European's such as Tommy Fleetwood, Ludvig Aberg and Hall are all showing solid form ahead of the team competition next month. Speaking with the media after his second round at the FedEx Cup Playoff tournament, McIlroy reckons Hall's red-hot form could force Donald into a shock call. Advertisement He said: 'Yeah, it is. It's good. 'It's good to see Bob [McIntyre], Ludvig, Viktor, Tommy, even Harry Hall - that's maybe got a chance to play in the team. Yeah, it bodes well for a few weeks' time.' Hall has been one of Europe's most consistent performers on the PGA Tour this season, making 20 cuts from 23 starts, racking up 13 top-25s and four top-10s. The 27-year-old is still only 19th in the European points list but McIlroy knows that kind of consistency is hard to ignore, especially with Hall's FedEx Cup showing. Advertisement He added: 'Yeah, I played with Harry in his first start as a pro at the Dunhill Links a few years ago. I know him a little bit. 'Really nice player, great rhythm to his golf swing, and he's sort of done it a different way. He went over to UNLV and did it that way. But he's become a very consistent player, so we'll see what happens.' Scottie Scheffler suffers major blow ahead of PGA Tour playoff event after $43 million season earnings are revealed The top six players in the rankings after the Betfred British Masters, hosted by Nick Faldo on Sunday, 24 August, will secure automatic qualification, with three spots already locked in. Captain Luke Donald will then confirm his six wildcard selections for the Ryder Cup during the week beginning Monday, 1 September.

Fan reveals vile details of Semenyo racist incident during Liverpool's win over Bournemouth
Liverpool kicked off their defence of the Premier League title last night in dramatic fashion as two late goals from Federico Chiesa and Mohamed Salah secured a 4-2 win for The Reds over Bournemouth. Both Chiesa's and Salah's goals came in the closing stages after Liverpool let a 2-0 lead slip to the visitors after Antoine Semenyo's brace cancelled out goals for Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitike who got the very first goal of the Premier League season in his first game in the English top flight. However the game has been somewhat overshadowed by an incident that took place moments before Ekitike's goals where the match was stopped for a number of minutes after an incident between a fan and Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo. Federico Chiesa. Pic: Liverpool FC/Liverpool FC via Getty Images Just before the half hour mark referee Anthony Taylor stopped the play as Liverpool were preparing to take a corner. Then he went over to the two managers Arne Slot and Andoni Iraola as well as the fourth official and the police. It was unclear at the time but it came out soon after play resumed that a racist incident had taken place between a fan and Semenyo. Details of the incident were sparse to begin with but now a fan that was nearby has given an eye witness account. The fan explained that the preparator is a regular season ticket holder and often lets his temper boil over into abuse of referees and players. The eyewitness fan then explained how this time it was all a little bit different. Referee Anthony Taylor speaks with both Arne Slot and Andoni Iraola as Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth reports racist abuse from a fan. Pic: Robbie Jay Barratt – AMA/Getty Images 'About 28 minutes into the game, Semenyo goes to take a throw in.' the fan said to This Is Anfield. 'He's not a player that goads the fans and seems like a decent lad – the sort of player that people want playing for their club. 'For reasons I'll never know, the fella near me…. shouts something at Semenyo. Semenyo then asks him to repeat it and he repeated it and threw his chewing gum at him. Then, two minutes later, the play is stopped' The fan was eventually removed around 30 minutes later. Antoine Semenyo. Pic: Robbie Jay Barratt – AMA/Getty Images The Ghanaian International Semenyo commented on the incident on Saturday saying in a statement on X; 'Last night at Anfield will stay with me forever – not because of one person's words, but because of how the entire football family stood together. 'To my Bournemouth teammates who supported me in that moment, to the Liverpool players and fans who showed their true character, to the Premier League officials who handled it professionally – thank you. 'Football showed its best side when it mattered most. Scoring those two goals felt like speaking the only language that truly matters on the pitch. This is why I play – for moments like these, for my teammates, for everyone who believes in what this beautiful game can be. Antoine Semenyo. Pic: Robin Jones – AFC Bournemouth/AFC Bournemouth via Getty Images 'The overwhelming messages of support from across the football world remind me why I love this sport. We keep moving forward, together.' Last night at Anfield will stay with me forever – not because of one person's words, but because of how the entire football family stood together. To my @afcbournemouth teammates who supported me in that moment, to the @LiverpoolFC players and fans who showed their true…
