      No expense has been spared and its two advanced electric engines will make it the most powerful yacht in the world.
      Solaris is almost ready for sea trials and should be handed to the Chelsea owner, 54, by the summer.
      A source said: “This will be the yacht of the year when she is launched later this year.”
      The yacht is being built at the Lloyd Werft shipyard in Bremerhaven, Germany.

      The shed it is being constructed in is larger than Buckingham Palace.
      Solaris will have 48 cabins, accommodating up to 36 passengers, and a crew of 60.

      But Abramovich, who already has £475million superyacht Eclipse, will not be setting sail for Britain often as he has visa issues over his Russia links.

      The source added: “Details are being kept top secret but she will be a magnificent addition for the owner.

      Forgotten heavyweight champ Mahmoud Charr calls out winner of Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury after three years out of ring

      by

      MAHMOUD CHARR has revealed he is gunning to fight the winner of Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury as he aims to return to the squared circle this year.
      The 36-year-old hasn’t stepped inside the ring since outpointing Alexander Ustinov in November 2017 to win the WBA ‘regular’ belt.

      Charr was ordered by the WBA to defend his strap against interim champion Trevor Bryan last month, but the fight failed to materialise.
      He has since been named as the Champion in Recess after failing to secure a visa in time to fight in the United States.
      But he will be able to secure an instant shot at his former title with the WBA stating that Bryan – who beat Bermane Stiverne for the belt in January – must fight him before May 30.
      And Charr is relishing a return to boxing, as he claimed that he has his eyes set on a future bout against either AJ or the Gypsy King.

      Speaking to SunSport about who he wants to compete against should he emerge victorious against Bryan, he declared: “Clearly, the winner of Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury.”
      Asked who he believes would win out of the British pair, he commented: “Willpower beats talent. But both have will AND talent.
      “I appreciate both of them very much. Both are absolute top boxers.
      “It’s going to be a close one. To be honest, I don’t want to commit myself.”

      Charr also spoke of his frustration that his January bout to face Bryan never went ahead, as he hit out at the American’s promoter Don King.
      He said: “It was all very frustrating. Especially the fact of how it happened or didn’t happen.
      “But that’s the way it is and I’m looking forward. I’m still training hard to be prepared for all future opponents.
      “I am glad that the WBA decided that Bryan has until the end of May to fight me.
      “My team and I will do everything we can to make sure that the same story from January doesn’t happen again.
      “This time Don King will not get away with his shady games. And then the belt will be back where it belongs – with me!”
      Before adding: “I am in the shape of my life. Bryan will not have a chance.”

      Britain’s greenest football club Forest Green Rovers create eco-friendly kit made from coffee beans

      by

      BRITAIN’S greenest football club have grounds to celebrate — their new eco-friendly kit is made from coffee beans.
      Forest Green Rovers, who went climate neutral in 2017, have partnered with PlayerLayer to create a prototype strip which also contains recycled plastic.

      The football club partnered with PlayerLayer to create the green strip

      The League Two club, named by Fifa as the greenest in the world, will play their first game in the new lime and black tiger-striped kit on Saturday when they take on Colchester United.
      The coffee-based fabric has been a top performer in initial tests and has been found to be lighter, breathable and more durable than the club’s current kit — which is also made of eco-friendly bamboo.
      Forest Green’s environmental credentials include having a vegan menu at their ground in Nailsworth, Gloucs, and solar panels with electric charging points.
      Proceeds from kit sales will be split between Gloucestershire NHS and charity One Tree Planted.

      Club chairman Dale Vince said: “It’s time football wakes up and smells the coffee about the planet’s future.
      “This prototype kit will bring new flavour to that old cliché of grinding out a result.”

      Blackburn training ground up for sale as Venky’s try and bank club £20m during troubling financial year

      by

      BLACKBURN’S owners are hoping to sell the club’s training ground in a £20million deal to balance the books.
      The Venky’s have submitted plans to the local council to build 170 houses at their Brockhall HQ.

      It would bring in cash for the Lancashire club who have been making heavy losses in recent years as they learn to live outside the top-flight.
      Venky’s have just written a £7m cheque to bolster Rovers during the current troubling financial crisis and expect to have to find more to cover wages this year.
      Selling Brockhall, their base since the Jack Walker era, will not go down well with fans but there are few options when it comes to raising cash.
      Rovers have their ‘old’ training ground in the area which is still being used and could accommodate both the first team and academy.

      The plans may also meet resistance from local residents as there will be extra traffic in the area. 
      However the area has already been established as a popular spot for upmarket housing.
      It’s not just off the pitch where Blackburn have been struggling as the club sit 12th in the Championship table.
      The 1995 Premier League champions lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest on Saturday – their fourth consecutive league defeat.

      BETS OF THE DAY: DON’T MISS TODAY’S BEST ODDS BOOSTS

      Commenting on the result, boss Tony Mowbray said: “I felt we played pretty well today, I quite enjoyed watching the team.
      “I think it’s a harsh result on us but there you go, you have to take it on the chin. We had some opportunities but missed them.”
      Before adding: “I felt we were in the ascendancy for most of the game.
      “That’s the nature of this league. Teams are well coached, they can get bodies behind the ball.
      “In the final third we fell a bit short. We got into some amazing positions to score some goals but we couldn’t finish them.”

      Rangers boss Steven Gerrard set to beat English clubs to free transfer for Zambia striker Fashion Sakala

      by

      STEVEN GERRARD hopes to beat a number of English rivals to sign striker Fashion Sakala from Belgian side Oostende.
      The Zambia forward can agree a pre-contract with Rangers — who are red-hot favourites to be crowned Scottish Premiership champions in the coming few weeks.

      Several Championship sides have watched Sakala, 23.
      But Gers chief Gerrard looks set to win the race for his services and will be able to offer him Champions League football.
      It was reported last month that the Ibrox outfit were keeping tabs on the forward – who has also attracted interest from clubs in the Middle East.
      Ligue 1 side Lille are another team understood to be eyeing up a move for the forward having scouted him extensively in recent weeks.

      And Sakala – who has chipped in with 13 goals and three assists in 25 games this term – has confirmed he is being tracked by a number of clubs.
      Speaking in January, he said: “Yes, there is interest from other teams. At the same time, talks are ongoing with KV Oostende about a new contract and we will see where we end up.
      Before adding: “If I could choose which league I would want to play in I would pick La Liga or the English Premier League.
      “But I don’t want to be too busy thinking about the future, because then you lose sight of the present.

      “My focus is on Oostende and I want to help the team. If you are not focused, you risk playing badly and losing points.”
      Commenting on Rangers’ interest in the player, Oostende chief Gauthier Ganaye stated: “We have been keen to try and get Fashion to sign a new contract since we took over at the club.
      “We know there is a lot of interest in Fashion but we have had no approach from Rangers to the club with regards to a pre-contract.
      “We are hoping we can convince Fashion to remain at KV Oostende and continue his development with us.”
