Hughes in talks to stay on as Carlisle boss
Hughes was brought to Brunton Park in February after Mike Williamson was sacked, with Carlisle five points from safety and 18 games remaining.But the Welshman was unable to pull them out of trouble with their best run of form - 10 points from four games - arriving when it was almost too late.While disappointed he could not do what he was brought in for, Hughes, 61, says he has enjoyed his time in Cumbria and is open to dropping down into the fifth tier."It's been difficult and we and I haven't achieved what we set out to do," he added."But I've really enjoyed my time here. I've had a fantastic welcome from everyone in Carlisle."That part of it I've really enjoyed and just being on the touchline and having the opportunity to manage a team through difficult games and difficult circumstances, that's what gets me doing."That's what I miss when I'm out of the game."

Jake Paul confirms opponent for next fight after Anthony Joshua talks
Jake Paul will step back into the ring later in the year for an exhibition fight against world lightweight champion Gervonta Davis. The social media star has built a professional boxing record of 12-1, with his only defeat coming by split decision to Tommy Fury in 2023. Despite many of his previous bouts coming against MMA fighters or boxers beyond their prime, Paul has been keen to take a huge step up in quality with his next opponent. The American was, remarkably, in talks with former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua over a potential blockbuster fight, but those plans have reportedly been scuppered due to network-related issues. However, Paul has now found a new world-level opponent after it was confirmed that he would take on fellow countryman Davis on Friday 14 November. The fight is set to take place at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia but will be an exhibition, most likely due to the huge size and weight difference between the duo. 'Tank' Davis, who has an unbeaten 30-0-1 professional record, including 28 knockouts, has usually campaigned in the 135lb lightweight division. Paul, meanwhile, weighed in for his last fight – a cruiserweight bout against former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr – at 199.4lbs. Alongside that 65.6lb weight disparity is the height difference, with Paul standing at 6ft 1in compared to Davis's 5ft 5in. The rules for the bout have not been confirmed, but it is expected that both will use larger-than-normal gloves due to the weight and height difference. And despite his vast inexperience compared to Davis, Paul has talked up his chances of causing a shock upset. 'Gervonta who has been disrespecting my name for too long. HIs nickname might be Tank, but I'm an FPV drone and I'm about to disable tiny boy,' he said. 'Yes, he's 1 of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world, but my motto is anyone, anytime, anyplace, against all odds. And I like my odds. First, I am going to kill David, then I will go on to slaughter Goliath.' Davis last fought in March 2025 when he was fortunate to escape with a majority draw against Lamont Roach Jr. Last month, the 30-year-old was arrested on battery and domestic violence charges after he was alleged to have assaulted his former girlfriend whom he shares two children. The fight will be streamed live globally only on Netflix. For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
