      What has been said?
      Slim said: “I feel good, I’m just grateful because honestly an incident like we had could have left me blind in my left eye, I’m just grateful that my eye is good and I get a chance to fight on a much bigger show on Misfits 1 which was the opportunity of a lifetime and I won by knockout.
      “I don’t even have to do this fight, but this man is so obsessed with me, during the last fight he was following me around, riling me up and trying to get a reaction out of me.
      “I kind of want to bury this, bury him even though he’s kind of already buried because nobody gives a f*** about him, he’s the most hated man on the internet.”
      Ryan Taylor added: “I wouldn’t say we had any injuries, I messaged him to say ‘we had a little scuffle, it’s cool, let’s keep it moving’.
      “He claims he was injured, this is the internet and we know him, he doesn’t have to live up to this persona.” More

      Denmark reached the semi-finals of Euro 2020, falling to defeat against England at Wembley before beating Spain to officially finish third in the tournament.

      After receiving a throw in, Eriksen fell to the ground and with nobody close to him there was immediate concern.
      Denmark captain Simon Kjaer realised the severity of the issue and put his teammate onto his side to ensure that his airway was open.
      While having a defibrillator used on him on the pitch, fans of both Denmark and Finland chanted Eriksen’s name as he was rushed to hospital.

      The Dane was discharged the same week, having a cardioverter defibrillator implanted, which would shock his heart if he is to experience a cardiac arrest again.
      The midfielder was since cleared to return to playing football, with Brentford signing him last season.
      Upon the expiry of his deal in London, Eriksen joined Manchester United, where he remains a key player. More

      Why do Wales fans sing ‘Wales, golf, Madrid’ about Gareth Bale?
      With Wales qualifying for Euro 2020 back in 2019, the players took to the pitch to celebrate in front of their fans.

      The flag referenced Bale’s preference for international football as well as his love for playing golf during his time in Spain, with there being prior heavy criticism for the amount of time he spent on the golf course and injury table for Los Blancos.
      Speaking on the banner, Bale previously admitted: “I’d seen the banner a few weeks before.
      “The boys had shown me and they said ‘if we do qualify, let’s try and find it and bring it out.’ I was like ‘do what you want but I won’t be going over to get it.’
      “They brought it down, we were all celebrating as a team and I’m not going to not jump around with my teammates.

      With Bale now plying his trade at LAFC, it remains to be seen as to whether the chant will be changed during the World Cup. More

      by

      Tyson Fury stopped Derek Chisora in the 10th-round of their 2014 clash
      A whopping 94,000 fans, a British record, filled the England football team’s national stadium that night to watch Fury defend his WBC heavyweight crown before announcing his retirement in the ring after.
      His retirement didn’t last long, however, as toward the end of the summer he called out Anthony Joshua for a massive money-spinning clash.
      Talks failed to materialise, however, and now Fury is on the precipice of finalising a deal to fight Chisora, who beat Kubrat Pulev in exciting fashion in July.
      Chisora has clashed with Fury twice before, though, losing the first on points before being stopped in their 2014 sequel.
      When is Fury vs Chisora 3?

      Fury is set to fight old rival Chisora on Saturday, December 3.
      The fight was originally scheduled to to take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff Wales.
      But promoter Frank Warren says the event may take place at another arena or stadium in the country now.
      Ring-walks will likely get underway from 10pm UK time.

      What channel will it be on and can it be live streamed?

      The bout has yet to be confirmed, so there is no TV channel yet.
      But Fury’s last eight fights have be shown live on BT Sport, with his last three all being shown as a pay-per-view event.
      BT Sport Box Office is available for live streaming from their dedicated app, which can be downloaded onto your mobile or tablet device.

      What has been said?
      Fury said: “After his latest antics, I hope it is him.
      “Unfortunately for him, if he signs a contract I’m going to have to severely smash his teeth in. We’ll see.”
      Fury’s promoter Warren has said since that a deal for the Chisora fight was looking increasingly likely.
      “We’ve been struggling to get an opponent but we’ve got the highest-ranked opponent which is Derek Chisora,” he explained.
      “That’s where we’ll be going and that’ll be on December 3. We were just trying to find someone and it’s been very difficult.” More

      “Anderson Silva is the nicest guy in the world and we love him,” Paul said at the press conference.

      “But I respect this man. I’m still going to knock him out but respectfully knock him out.”
      Silva said: “Listen, everything is possible. Jake and [his] brother are training hard [to become] boxers. [They] try to [show] respect for the community. The kids have good potential and the people need to respect that.”
      “I don’t feel pressure any more because everything I do in this sport and MMA I do with my heart.
      “I think now is the next step for me. I try to enjoy my life, and when people think that’s too much pressure because I need to prove that I represent the MMA Community – no, I represent myself and represent my fans.” More
