      When is the Champions League final, and where is it being held?

      The Champions League final will take place on Saturday, May 29.
      The Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey will host the showpiece this season.
      The kick-off time has yet to be decided, though it is expected to begin at 8pm BST.

      Are English fans allowed to attend the Champions League final?

      With the UK’s ban on non-essential international travel set to expire on May 17, Chelsea and/or Man City fans should be allowed to travel to Turkey for the match.
      However, the Turkish government will decide if any tickets will be allocated to travelling supporters of the participating clubs.
      Uefa have not placed any restrictions on ticket sales meaning Turkey is allowed to hold the game with any number of fans it chooses.
      Coronavirus cases in Turkey remain high, meaning the country is likely to be on the amber list when travel resumes.
      This would see fans from the UK forced to quarantine for ten days on their return and take a pre-departure Covid test plus PCR tests on Day 2 and Day 8 after landing.
      There has not yet been any suggestion from the UK or Turkey that fans could avoid quarantine through a bubble arrangement.

      The Ataturk Stadium plays host this year
      Can I get tickets?
      UEFA have revealed in their latest update that details are to follow soon on how you can get tickets to the big one.
      UEFA said: “The UEFA Champions League Final 2021 will take place in Istanbul, Turkey in the Ataturk Olympic Stadium on Saturday, 29 May 2021.
      “Information about the ticket sales for this match (availability of tickets, application deadline, ticket prices, etc.) should be communicated around end of April 2021.
      “More details will follow in due course.”

      When is Mike Tyson vs Lennox Lewis? Date, TV channel and live stream info for heavyweight contest

      by

      LEGENDARY heavyweights Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis are set for a rematch – almost 20 years after their first meeting. The boxing veterans – who have a combined age of 109 – are set to dust off their gloves and go to war once again.
      Tyson and Lennox are set for a rematch later this yearCredit: PA:Press Association
      Tyson made his long-awaited comeback late last year against Roy Jones Jr, with their exhibition fight over eight rounds called as a draw.
      The former heavyweight champ had shed six stone for the charity event and made it known he was looking to fight again in 2021.
      He looked set to face Evander Holyfield in Miami on May 29, but a deal couldn’t be struck between the two parties.

      When is Mike Tyson vs Lennox Lewis?
      In Iron Mike’s crosshairs now is the 6ft5 champ Lewis, who was a three-time heavyweight world champion.
      Lewis famously KO’d the Baddest Man on the Planet in 2002 after the American threatened to ‘eat’ his children.
      The Brit ended his career with a pro record of 41-2-1 from 44 fights, scoring 32 knockout victories.
      Tyson has confirmed he will face Lewis, 55, in September this year.
      He told TMZ: “I’m gonna fight Lennox Lewis. September.”
      As yet, neither a concrete date nor venue has been confirmed – but stick with us right here on SunSport where we’ll update you as soon as we know more.

      Which TV channel and live stream can I watch it on?
      With no fight date yet confirmed, TV and live stream info looks set to be released later this year.
      Tyson’s fight with Roy Jones Jr was broadcast on BT Sport Box Office in the UK.
      It cost £19.95 to buy the card, so a similar situation is expected when Tyson faces Lewis.
      Over in the States, the fight was shown on streaming service DAZN. More
