      “Tyson Fury coming home to fight under the arch at Wembley Stadium is a fitting reward for the No.1 heavyweight in the world following his exploits across the Atlantic in his epic trilogy against Deontay Wilder,” said Warren.
      While co-promoter Bob Arum said: “Tyson Fury conquered America, and it is only fitting that he defends the heavyweight championship in a packed Wembley Stadium.
      “Dillian Whyte has called for this fight for years, and while he is a deserving challenger, no heavyweight can match the Gypsy King.”

      The Toffees dismantled Premier League rivals Brentford in the previous round of the competition by putting four goals past them.
      However, the Merseyside outfit will need to improve on their recent performances because Everton have lost their last domestic fixtures against Southampton and reigning champions Manchester City.
      The same cannot be said for Boreham Wood who will be going into this game off the back of a 1-0 win over Eastleigh.
      And the National side have already proved that they are capable pulling off a giant killing when they knocked out Championship outfit Bournemouth in the fourth round.
      What time does Everton vs Boreham Wood kick off?

      Everton take on Boreham Wood on Thursday, 3 March.
      The match kicks off at 8:15pm UK time.
      It takes place at Goodison Park in Merseyside.
      This will be the first time that the clubs have faced each other in their entire history.

      What TV channel is Everton vs Boreham Wood on and can I live stream it?

      Team news
      Frank Lampard will be without January arrivals Anwar El Ghazi, Dele Alli and Donny van de Beek who are all cup-tied having represented their former clubs in this edition’s competition.
      Dominic Calvert-Lewin is still nursing his adductor issue and he will be joined in the medical room by Fabian Delph, Ben Godfrey, Yerry Mina and Tom Davies who continue to be on the mend.
      Luke Gerrard has received a triple boost because the Boreham Wood boss is expected to see Jamal Fyfield, Nathan Ashmore and fourth round cup winner, James Comley all return to the squad.
      However, right-back Kane Smith will miss out on the opportunity to play against his boy-hood club because of an injury he sustained against Maidenhead United.

      Who is F1 star Nikita Mazepin’s dad Dmitry and will driver still race in F1 this season?

      by

      NIKITA MAZEPIN is a Haas F1 Team driver who races alongside Mick Schumacher.After finishing fifth in the F2 championship, Nikita was presented with the opportunity to compete in F1, but the 22-year-old largely struggled throughout his opening season.

      The Russian finished in last place for the final F1 driver’s standings having received multiple penalties.
      But now, his name is being linked with controversy.
      To understand why, you will need to know more about his father Dmitry…
      Who is Nikita Mazepin’s dad Dmitry?
      Dmitry Mazepin is a Russian Forbes-listed billionaire father of driver Nikita Mazepin, who owns F1 team Haas’ sponsor Uralkali.
      He is a majority shareholder in successful mineral fertiliser company Uralchem.
      The 53-year-old who was born on 18, April 1968 and graduated from the Suvorov Military Academy in 1985, before serving as a military interpreter in Afghanistan between 1986 and 1988.

      He then went on to graduate from the MGIMO University Department of Economics in 1992, which led to Mazepin leaping into the financial sector in both Russia and Belarus.
      He joined executive positions on TNK and Sibur, where he became one of Russia’s hugely influential figures.
      However he was not done there because in 2008, the Russian picked up another degree from the Saint Petersburg Institute for Economics and Management before earning his PHD in the same school four years later.
      Dmitry is married and has five children – the most famous being Haas F1 driver Nikita.
      What does Dmitry Mazepin own?
      In 2002, Dmitry was elected president of Sibur; a subsidiary gas producer company for Gazprom, to replace former position holder Jacob Goldovsky who was arrested for illegal removing assets from the company.
      The 53-year-old only held presidency for a year before leaving to create his own firm, Constructive Bureau.
      After a series of acquisitions, he then combined his assets to form Uralchem in 2007.
      By 2013, Dmitry was able to acquire a 20 per cent stake in the world’s largest potash producer, Uralkali, which operated as the official sponsor for his son Nikita’s F1 team Haas.
      Is Nikita Mazepin being dropped from Haas?
      Russia’s invasion of Ukraine put the future of Nikita Mazepin’s future in jeopardy due to his father’s apparent connections with Vladimir Putin.
      The billionaire Oligarch has been previously pictured meeting with Putin and is an associate of the Russian president.
      Owner Gene Haas has cut ties with Uralkali’s sponsorship following the invasion, potentially putting Nikita’s place on the grid at risk.
      But the FIA decided that Russian and Belarusian drivers can still compete, though they will be regarded as neutral athletes.
      That means Mazepin will still be able to race unless Haas decide to cancel his contract themselves.

      What has been said?
      Hass team principal Guenther Steiner commented on the matter by saying: “It needs to be resolved.
      “Not everything depends from us here what is happening. There’s governments involved, I have no power over them and we also need to see how the situation develops in Ukraine.”
      Son of Dmitry Mazepin, Nikita Mazepin later tweeted: “To my fans and followers – it’s a difficult time and I am not in control over a lot of what is being said and done.
      “I’m choosing to focus on what I can control by working hard and doing my best for @HaasF1Team.
      “My deepest thanks for your understanding and support.”

      Watford vs Arsenal: TV channel, live stream, kick-off time and team news for Premier League match

      by

      ARSENAL travel to their training ground neighbours Watford THIS WEEKEND in the hunt for landing a Champions League spot.The Gunners have recovered from their nightmare month of January because they are going into this game with three wins on the spin.

      Disregarding the score-line, Mikel Arteta’s side comfortably dealt with Brentford and Arsenal did the league double over Wolves which included a dramatic 2-1 thriller in the second game.
      Watford find themselves in a real relegation scrap heading into the business end of the season and time is running out for Roy Hodgson’s side to avoid the drop zone.
      However, the Hornets stunned Old Trafford on the weekend by holding Manchester United to a 0-0 stalemate so all hope is not lost for the Hertfordshire outfit.
      What time does Watford vs Arsenal kick off?

      Watford take on Arsenal on Sunday, 6 March.
      The match is scheduled to kick off at 2pm UK time.
      It takes place at Vicarage Road in Watford.
      Arsenal scraped a 1-0 win in the reverse fixture at the Emirates.

      What TV channel is Watford vs Arsenal on and can I live stream it?

      Watford vs Arsenal will be broadcasted live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.
      The coverage will only be shown on Sky Sports Main Event from 1pm – one hour before kick-off.
      It can also be streamed through the NBC Sports website and the NBC Sports app.

      Team news
      Watford pair Peter Etobo and Kwadwo Baah are both on the road to recovery having featured in a couple of U23 matches so there’s a slim chance that they could be involved on the weekend.
      However, Cameroonian defender Nicoals Nkoulou is still a little way off returning to the matchday squad.
      Mikel Arteta only has Takehiro Tomiyasu to be concerned over because the Japanese international hasn’t figure in six of Arsenal’s last eight games.
      Speaking on Tomiyasu’s absence after the Wolves encounter, the Gunners boss said: “So he came back and he was completely fine, and in training he felt the other calf.
      “So this is an issue because he’s a professional, who is giving absolutely everything to help us and in the last few months, he’s not been fit.
      “Imagine the body as a set of chain links when one is weakened, the other pick up the slack, right?”
      Emile Smith Rowe also missed out on the thrilling 2-1 win at the Emirates due to contracting Covid-19, but the Englishman is expected to return.

      Watford to win 11/12

      Who is Alex Wassabi? Meet the YouTuber set to fight Deji

      Deji has taken part in boxing bouts before and fought on big card, but this is Wassabi’s first time in the ring in front of a big crowd.
      But just who is the internet sensation, and when did he become famous?
      Who is Alex Wassabi?
      Alex Wassabi’s real name is Alex Burriss, and is best known for his online presence as a social media star in the U.S., predominantly on YouTube.
      Wassabi’s videos became popular after he recorded a parody of Carly Rae Jepsen’s song ‘Call Me Maybe’ in 2012.
      Since then, Wassabi’s career has skyrocketed, and he has millions, 11.5million to be exact, of subscribers on YouTube.
      The 31-year-old was born in Great Fall, Montana and grew up with two brothers and a sister.
      Wassabi is also popular on Twitter, TikTok, Instagram and also grew his fame on Vine when the video-sharing platform was still in existence.
      Since starting his YouTube channel, Wassabi’s work has garnered over 4.5billion views.

      Wassabi has also released numerous music singles, including ‘My Side’ and ‘What It Is’ in 2017.
      Though Wassabi has never had a fight before, he’s certainly displayed confidence for his clash with Deji on March 5.
      He said: “Honestly, everything Deji puts out makes me less and less nervous.
      “Everybody has nerves before a fight, even Mike Tyson said he cried before fights towards the end of his career.
      “I was starting to feel those nerves once the announcement was made like ‘oh, it’s happening, it’s real now,’ and then every single time he puts something out I’m like ‘why would he put that out?’
      “Especially his last video, he quit over and over and over!” More

      But they can’t afford to take their eyes off the FA Cup, the final of which they also lost in the last two consecutive seasons.
      Luton lost to the Blues in the fourth round of last year’s competition so will be out for revenge at home this year.
      What time does Luton vs Chelsea kick-off?

      Chelsea’s visit to Luton will get underway from 7.15pm UK time on Wednesday, March 2.
      The game will be played at Kenilworth Road in Luton.
      There will be a full capacity crowd in attendance for the clash.

      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

      Chelsea vs Luton will be shown live on BBC One and BBC One HD in the UK.
      You can live stream the action from the BBC iPlayer, which is available for download onto your mobile or tablet device.

      Can I watch for FREE?
      Yes, the game will be available for FREE on BBC One, so long as you have a TV licence.
      Team news
      Chelsea will still be without Hakim Ziyech, who missed the final against Liverpool with an Achilles problem.
      Robert Snodgrass has just signed for Luton and could make his debut for the club against Chelsea.
      Sonny Bradley has a hernia and will be sidelined for a while yet, while ex-Arsenal player Henri Lansbury is also a doubt.
      Thomas Tuchel will no doubt want to rest players who played the full 120 minutes against Liverpool, so Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner could return to the starting XI.

      Is Burnley vs Leicester on TV? Live stream, kick-off time and team news for Premier League clash

      by

      BURNLEY continue survival mission TOMORROW EVENING when they take on Leicester City in a rescheduled match at Turf Moor.The Clarets are beginning to put together a good run of form in the league.

      Disregarding the 1-0 loss against 6x Champions League winners Liverpool, Sean Dyche’s men haven’t lost domestically since Jan 2.
      However, the Foxes will be going into this fixture fresh from a 7-2 aggregate win against Danish side Randers in the Europa Conference League.
      But on the flip side, Leicester have failed to win a Premier League match since a 4-1 triumph over Watford at the turn of the year, so confidence may not be flowing as much as it should.
      What time does Burnley vs Leicester kick off?

      Burnley vs Leicester City takes place on Tuesday, March 1.
      The match is scheduled to kick off at 7:45pm UK time.
      It is happening at Turf Moor.
      Nothing could separate the sides last time they met with the score-line ending 2-2 at the King Power.

      What TV channel is Burnley vs Leicester on and can I live stream it?

      Unfortunately, Burnley vs Leicester City will not be broadcasted live on television.
      This is because it was not chosen to be televised in the original scheduled date.
      However, it will be shown via the NBC Sports’ streaming service, Peacock Premium.

      Team news
      Charlie Taylor and Maxwel Cornet were fit enough to make the bench at Selhurst Park so the duo will be expected for some more game time.
      However, despite Matej Vydra back training again, this game has come too soon for the striker following his hernia operation.
      Johann Berg Gudmundsson is still out for a while and Erik Pieters was forced to come off early against Crystal Palace so he is a huge doubt.
      Leicester’s treatment room remains full with, Wesley Fofana, Timothy Castagne, Ryan Bertrand and Jonny Evans all out on a long term basis.
      Ricardo Pereira should be involved in the matchday squad after his precautionary absence in for the Randers second leg.
      Key members Justin James and Jamie Vardy have a slim chance of making the trip to Burnley but it is unlikely that either will be in from the start.
