    Arsenal vs Wolves: Live stream, TV channel, team news and kick-off time for TODAY’s Premier League clash

    ARSENAL manager Mikel Areta has a tough job on his hands as his side come up against Wolves next in the Premier League.
    The Gunners have been winless in four of their last five games in the league and are suffering from a real dip in form.

    Nicolas Pepe will miss the game against Wolves through suspensionCredit: Svein Ove Ekornesvåg / NTB

    Things don’t get easier, however, as Nuno Espirito Santo’s Wolves side can give any team in the Premier League a hard game.
    A win for Arsenal would show their Champions League rivals that they’re not going away as easy as the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United would like.
    What time does Arsenal vs Wolves kick-off?
    Arsenal’s crunch clash with Wolves kicks off at 7.15pm UK time on Sunday, November 29.
    The game will take place at the Gunners’ Emirates Stadium.
    There will be no fans in attendance for the game.
    What channel is Arsenal vs Wolves and can it be live streamed?
    Arsenal vs Wolves will be shown live on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Premier League.
    The game is available for streaming on NOW TV and Sky GO.
    You can download either of the two apps onto your mobile or tablet device.

    What is the team news?
    Nicolas Pepe will miss the game through suspension after being sent off during Arsenal’s 0-0 draw with Leeds last weekend.
    Willian could be available after suffering with a calf problem during the week.

    Mohamed Elneny and Sead Kolasinac should be back in contention after returning positive coronavirus tests during the international break.
    Conor Coady can also return after having to self-isolate because of Covid-19. Team-mate Roman Saiss, however, is out after testing positive.
    Odds
    Arsenal – 23/20
    Draw – 21/10

    Wolves – 13/5

    Mike Tyson’s face tattoo and other designs meaning from communist heads to former tennis champ and ex-wife he cheated on

    OVER the years, Mike Tyson has enjoyed getting inked up.
    Memorably, his most famous tattoo is his tribal design etched on the left side of his head.

    Mike Tyson has six tattoos, including his infamous face inkCredit: Getty Images – Getty

    However, that could’ve been something completely different had the slugger had his way – read below.
    In total, ‘Iron Mike’  – who makes his comeback this Saturday – has six tattoos – but what are they and what do they all mean?
    Let SunSport walk you through Tyson’s body art.
    What does Mike Tyson’s tribal face tattoo mean?
    In 2003, Mike, 53, went under the needle of renowned tattoo artist Victor Whitmill.

    Originally, he wanted his face to be covered in heart tattoos – so he would be recognised as ‘The Man of hearts.’
    However, Whitmill strongly advised against that idea and instead gave him the tribal design.
    In the 2008 documentary ‘Tyson’ the former heavyweight champ says it represents his ‘warrior status.’ You wouldn’t argue with him.
    In popular culture, it featured in The Hangover film – which Tyson starred in – on the face of dentist, Stu Price.

    Why did he get a Chairman Mao tattoo?
    On Tyson’s right bicep, is a tattoo of Chinese communist revolutionary, Mao Zedong.
    When he was in prison serving time for rape, the fearsome puncher was said to have read up on Zedong’s politics and identified with them.
    He wanted to feel less shallow, and is also said to keep a collection of ‘Chairman Mao’s’ writings.
    Tyson got the tattoo in tribute to his new inspiration.

    What about Che Guevara?
    Tyson went one further than any East End hipster who may wear the image of the Argentine Marxist revolutionary on a T-shirt.
    He got a tattoo of Che Guevara on his ribcage – complete with his famous beret.
    Tyson was once asked why he decided on having Guevara tattoed on his body.
    He said: “Che Guevara is an incredible individual. He had so much, but sacrificed it all for the benefit of other people.”

    The ex-wife
    When you love someone so much, it’s only natural that you want to show the world.
    Tyson did just that with his ex-wife Monica Turner by getting her face tattooed on the left side of his forearm.
    They married in 1997, but were divorced in 2002 after Turner claimed adultery during their five-year marriage.

    Dragon
    On his right forearm, Tyson boasts a rather fetching dragon tattoo.
    He hasn’t ever commented on it, but in Chinese culture the dragon represents strength, wisdom and freedom.
    It’s the most popular creature that’s requested at tattoo studios, but we wouldn’t knock Mike for authenticity.

    Arthur Ashe
    What on earth?
    Now, Tyson didn’t strike us as a tennis fan. But he does have the three-time Grand Slam winner Arthur Ashe on his right shoulder.
    Scribbled above the image are the words, ‘DAYS OF GRACE’.

    Outside of sport, Ashe was well known for supporting social causes and set up the Arthur Ashe Foundation for the Defeat of Aids.
    Tyson, himself, has become an activist for a holistic lifestyle through his cannabis empire.
    Different strokes, for different folks, etc.

    Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr: UK start time TONIGHT, live stream, TV channel, undercard and rules as boxing titans fight

    MIKE TYSON and Roy Jones Jr are going toe-to-toe TONIGHT in a spectacular throwback fight in Los Angeles.
    54-year-old Tyson will do battle with Jones, 51, in a long-awaited bout, with the Baddest Man on the Planet dropping an incredible SIX stone to get in shape for the clash.

    Listen to Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr live on talkSPORT

    The California State Commission say the exhibition will be fought under the rules that both men will not look for the knock-out and will instead “exhibit” their skills, but both fighters have come out and said the contrary.
    When is Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr?
    The big fight is set for TONIGHT – Saturday, November 28 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
    It was originally set to take place on September 12 but the event has been postponed until later in the year.
    The undercard is expected to start at 9pm ET – 1am GMT – and the main event will follow between 4am and 5am GMT.
    The legends are set to go eight rounds in the ring, with Youtube star Jake Paul and NBA star Nate Robinson confirmed for the undercard.

    What TV channel is Tyson vs Jones Jr on and can I live stream it? 
    BT Sport Box Office will be broadcasting the fight in the UK.
    The event will cost £19.95 to watch.
    Coverage begins at 8pm ET, which is midnight in UK. The undercard is set to start from 1am GMT.
    The social media site Triller will also be airing the PPV fight.
    Emmy-winner Mario Lopez hosts the show, and musical acts will be announced for performances too.
    You can also listen to all the action live on talkSPORT.
    Who is on the Tyson vs Jones Jr undercard?
    YouTuber Jake Paul leads the way on the four-fight card when he takes on ex-NBA star Nate Robinson.

    Viddal Riley, who trained KSI for his fights with Logan Paul, has pulled out injured and has been replaced by Hasim Rahman Jr.
    And in a new unfortunate twist, Riley’s replacement Hasim Rahman Jr, tested positive for Covid so the fight is off.
    Main card
    Prelims

    Irvin Gonzalez vs. Edward Vasquez (8 x 3min, featherweight)
    Juiseppe Cusumano vs. Nick Jones (8 x 3min, heavyweight)

    What are the rules of the fight?
    The fight will be contested over eight, two-minute rounds.
    No headguards will be worn but the fighters will be wearing larger 12-ounce gloves.
    Technically the fight can only be stopped if there is a knock-out, but California State Athletic Commission executive director Andy Forster said he will stop it if a cut appears.
    Referee Ray Corona will be able to halt it if he chooses to.
    The WBC will be remotely scoring the fight with the winner crowned WBC Frontline champion.
    Forster said: “Tyson and Jones Jr. won’t be wearing headgear for the fight.
    “They’ll be lacing up 12-ounce gloves and there won’t be any judges present at the fight to score the action. So, technically, there won’t be a winner unless a knockout somehow occurs, or either fighter is deemed unfit to continue.
    “They can move around and make some money, but I told them if you get cut, it’s over.”

    Roy Jones Jr, 51, last fought only two years ago
    What have they said?
    Mike Tyson: “We’re throwing punches at each other. This is going to be my definition of fun … broken eye sockets, broken jaw, broken rib. That’s fun to me.”
    Roy Jones Jr: “He’s still Mike Tyson, he’s still one of the strongest, most explosive people who ever touched a boxing ring. If anything, I made a mistake going in with him.
    “He’s the bigger guy, he’s the explosive guy. He’s going to have all the first-round fireworks, not me.
    “I do have first-round fireworks, but he’s known for more first-round fireworks than anybody to ever touch boxing, other than maybe George Foreman.” More
