      Finn Robert Helenius is in Wilder’s way
      And Wilder says he is going for a FOURTH clash with the Gypsy King after he beats Helenius.
      Wilder told Sky Sports: “I think that there’s definitely a chance of a fourth fight again.
      “Boxing is a business. Many people call it a sport, but it’s not a sport.
      “The heavyweight division is very small. I’m still a big fish in the business, especially here in America. As long as we’re all in the same division and all still currently fighting, why not? It only can lead to that. With all that being said, it’s definitely a possibility.”

      And it was a result which led many football fans to believe that Arsenal are title contenders this season along with Manchester City.
      However, Mikel Arteta’s men will have to readjust their focus on the Europa League as a trip to face the Norwegian champions is next up on the rota.
      But the Gunners should be quietly confident having already brushed Bodo/Glimt aside in the reverse fixture.

      It is scheduled to kick off slightly earlier than usual – 5:45pm UK time but 6:45pm local time.

      However, the Arsenal boss is still likely to be without midfield maestro Emile Smith Rowe and talented full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko.

      F1 cost cap rule explained amid huge row that could see Lewis Hamilton crowned 2021 champ instead of Max Verstappen

      by

      FORMULA ONE is set for one of the biggest rows in years which could yet see Lewis Hamilton crowned as 2021 F1 world champion.This Wednesday, the sport’s governing body [FIA] will publish their investigation into teams’ spending during last season.

      There is now financial controversy regarding the winCredit: Getty
      Last year, new budget cap rules were introduced to stop teams from spending more than £114million on developing their cars.
      This was in the hope of making the grid more competitive and prevent certain teams dominating thanks to quicker cars.
      In previous seasons, the likes of Red Bull, Mercedes and Ferrari have spent over three times that amount at a serious disadvantage to those teams lower down the grid.
      The FIA have outlined strict penalties for breaking the rules, including disqualifying teams and drivers from last year’s championship.
      READ MORE IN F1
      What is the background?
      Teams were supposed to submit their financial reports back in March – yet the deadline elapsed.
      Now, the FIA have the accounts, which have all passed through auditors, they will be able to establish whether teams have spent more than they should have done.
      If they are under, they are issued a certificate this coming Wednesday. If they have gone over, they won’t.
      The rumours are that Red Bull and Aston Martin are two teams that have overspent but they are likely to plead their innocence.
      As it’s the first year of the rules there are confusions as to what and what is not included in small details like providing staff with free food in their respective canteens or sick pay.

      What if a team does NOT get a certificate?
      It will depend on how much they are over. If their spending is deemed as minor – under five per cent of the £114m – £5.7m – they will be sanctioned by the FIA.
      While the list of penalties include points deductions for teams and drivers, there is a growing feeling it will be a financial penalty.
      Should a team accept that punishment then they would be issued the certificate on the proviso of paying the fine.
      If they do not accept the penalty, it will be escalated further through an independent panel.
      However if the amount is more then it is classed as a “material” breach. That means the case is immediately passed to the independent panel.
      Most read in Motorsport
      Who are the independent panel?
      A minimum of six and a maximum of 12 people will form the panel.
      They are picked from an undetermined number of people suggested by the FIA’s General Assembly and a group of no less than five F1 teams.
      The panel has not yet been assembled and it could take time to put together but they will be financial and legal experts.
      Crucially, they will have the power to determine the punishment, as stipulated in the rules, such as points deduction, financial penalties or even disqualification from the championship.
      What if a team still refuses to accept it?
      Then the matter still has the potential to progress to the International Court of Appeal, who will decide the matter.
      This is what Mercedes had threatened last December following the controversial outcome to the title decider in Abu Dhabi, but decided against pursuing that option. More
