      Naoya Inoue vs Luis Nery LIVE RESULTS: Latest updates from huge super-bantamweight title fight in Tokyo

      by

      NAOYA INOUE takes on Luis Nery today in a huge undisputed super-bantamweight title clash in Tokyo. The Monster is undefeated and one of the top pound-for-pound talents in all of boxing while Nery is a former world champion – so get ready for what should be a cracker of a fight.

      Rounds 4-6
      After a word from his team, Moloney ups it early in round four and lands a good jab.
      But Takei is showing maturity for such an inexperienced boxer, picking him moments well and had his rival into a corner.
      Instructions can be heard clearly from Moloney’s corner – desperate for him to get his right hand involved in the fifth round – but he is not really doing it.
      Finally, in round six Moloney finds some better shots and it’s his best round so far apart from being hit with a right hook at the end.
      Copy linkCopiedRounds 1-3
      A positive start for Takei in the opening round – but he is warned about low blows.
      And he doesn’t learn his lesson in the second as he again continues with low punches.
      The referee has seen enough and slaps Takei with a point penalty to the fighter’s frustration.
      In the third, Takei is dominating and a heavy right hand knocked Moloney off balance.
      Body shots are working and the man nicknamed Mayhem finds himself in a spot of bother.

      Aussie fighter Jason Moloney is next up in the ring as he looks to retain his WBO bantamweight strap.
      Yoshiki Takei is his opponent and the home favourite has the full support of the crowd at the Tokyo Dome.
      This is just the Japanese star’s eight professional boxing bout and he was formally a kickboxing champion.

      In the next undercard fight, Takuma Inoue, takes to the ring to fight Sho Ishida.
      But the Inoue takeover in Tokyo is not off to a good start.
      Takuma has fallen to the canvas in the first round.
      A light jab from Ishida knocks him to the floor and catches Takuma off guard.
      He is quickly back on his feet looking a little confused as to how that shot saw him fall over.

      The undercard action has begun and the first result is in.
      Seigo Yuri Akui has beaten Taku Kuwahara via unanimous decision.
      It was his first fight while defending his WBA Flyweight belt.
      Copy linkCopiedGoing all In
      Naoya Inoue hasn’t been in action since a dominant stoppage win over Marlon Tapales in December 2023.
      His win came after four-weight world champ Stephen Fulton in a brutal bout in July 2023.
      Now he returns to face former two-weight world champion Nery
      Nery has previously fought in Japan against Shinsuke Yamanaka, beating him via TKO in the fourth round.
      The Mexican failed a drug test after the fight but it was later ruled to be due to contaminated food.
      Nery re-matched and beat Yamanaka but failed to make weight for the bout and was subsequently banned from fighting in Japan.
      He’s now back to fight in the Land of the Rising Sun, however, but this time he’s up against arguably their greatest ever fighter in Inoue.
      Copy linkCopiedInoue vs Nery
      Naoya Inoue faces Luis Nery at the Tokyo Dome today.
      Nicknamed “The Monster”, the Japanese fighter is looking to extend his undefeated professional record.
      And he defends his WBC, WBO, IBF and WBA featherweight titles.
      But Mexico’s Nery is set to put up a huge challenge with his impressive 35-1 record.

      Brighton 1 Aston Villa 0: Joao Pedro’s late winner gifts Tottenham lifeline in race for fourth Champions League spot

      by

      JOAO PEDRO’S late penalty put a dent in Aston Villa’s Champions League push. The Brazilian forward hit his 20th goal of the season meaning Unai Emery’s could not qualify for the elusive competition today if Spurs lost at Liverpool.Joao Pedro celebrates after scoring his 20th of the seasonCredit: ReutersHis penalty was saved by Aston Villa’s Robin Olsen but he headed home the reboundCredit: GettyThis game was a battle between Brighton hero Simon Adingra and Villa’s stand-in goalkeeper Robin Olsen, who had big boots to fill. The visitors had been left with a gaping Emi Martinez shaped hole after the Argentine goalkeeper was ruled out due a hamstring injury. Adingra was at the beating heart of anything promising for Brighton, including winning the 87th minute penalty after being clipped by Ezri Konsa. But in homage to Martinez, Olsen actually SAVED the penalty but it popped out perfectly for Pedro to head home the rebound.Villa had conceded six goals in two games without Martinez but Olsen stepped up to the plate with a string of huge saves at the Amex to keep a respectable scoreline. But Brighton deserved every bit of this win, leaving Roberto De Zerbi as the best looking boss in town. Before the match he had said: “If you win and you look in the mirror you look handsome, if you lose you are stupid!” after picking up just three wins this calendar year. Villa’s disjointed first-half reeked of a side decimated by injuries with a loaded calendar taking its toll. BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSThey mustered just one shot in the first half – their fewest in the opening half of any Premier League match in over a year, when they faced Leeds in 2023 (also 1). Ivorian winger Adingra drilled a low drive straight at Olsen early on before dancing into the box again to sting the Swedish stopper’s hands with a raspign shot. Former Premier League manager looks unrecognisable as he plays GUITAR outside old club’s stadiumChants of “you’re just a s*** John McGinn” aimed at Pascal Gross nearly back-fired as his corner bounced off Welbeck’s back and was a fraction away from flying into the net. On 26 minutes Emery was forced into an early change bringing on Matty Cash for Morgan Rogers who had been stretching out an injured leg with no success. Ollie Watkins finally came to life on 34 minutes, latching onto a Lucas Digne cross and waltzing into the box before he was snaffled up. It was a menacing sight for Brighton fans given the striker scored a hat-trick in the reverse 6-1 pasting by Villa earlier on this season. Adingra was at it again, bursting towards goal as Danny Welbeck tried to play him in, but Olsen bravely came off his line to mop up the damage. The 34-year-old Olsen then made a blinding close-range save as Adingra nearly poked one in on the stroke of half-time following Pedro’s cross. And Olsen denied Gross who was a whisker away from breaking the deadlock after latching onto a floating Adingra pass. Emery must have given them a tongue-lashing at half-time because Matty Cash emerged from the restart and attempted a long-range screamer which shaved the crossbar.Brighton hit back strongly though with Pedro charging towards goal and firing at Olsen, who just about palmed away the damage. Substitute Julio Enciso also broke free after an inch-perfect Adingra cross , but blazed over. Gross looked as though he had given the ultimate two finger salute to Villa fans’ early taunts by slotting home on 68 minutes but VAR intervened and ruled it offside. Villa also had the ball in the net, but this time the linesman was the fun sponge, ruling out McGinn’s close-range attempt. Drama erupted when referee Robert Jones pointed to the spot as Konsa lightly clipped the heel of Adingra. It looked soft but VAR concurred and Pedro stepped up and headed home the rebound.Half of the Brazilian forward’s goal tally have come from the penalty spot this term.Even the boisterous Aston Villa fan who had whipped his shirt off to reveal a pasty belly glumly put it back on to sum up the visitors’ afternoon.

      CHELSEA got in some early Thursday – Sunday practice as they mount a late charge for Europe.
      And there were no signs of ‘Europa League fatigue’ as they ignored tired bodies to sweep abject West Ham aside.
      Just three days after beating Tottenham, head coach Mauricio Pochettino rallied his young players to claim a second London derby win in succession.
      This rout lifts Chelsea into seventh place where they are perched on Newcastle’s shoulders just points behind with three games each to play…

      This is how the match stats look at the end of the game, dominated by Chelsea in all aspects, as expected.

      Copy linkCopiedPlayer of the Match
      The prestigious SunSport player of the match award is presented by Lloyd Canfield to Noni Madueke today.
      The winger caused no end of problems for Emerson Palmieri at left-back, and chipped in with a goal and assist too.
      His assist was unselfish, as he showed a great first touch before squaring the ball to Nicolas Jackson to finish.
      His goal was a well taken header, but he peppered Areola in goal all day long, and was unfortunate to leave with just the one goal.
      An excellent showing by the England winger, who as I said in the week, has the potential to be one of the world’s finest wingers as he matures.

      Against any other fighter, Jaime Munguia would have caused some serious damage with his punches this evening.
      However, Canelo is a completely different beast and he just absorbed them and then hurt him with his own replies.
      It was probably the best fight of Munguia’s career but he just didn’t have the power to hurt Canelo Alvarez.

      He boxed with experience and just looked to pick off Munguia whenever he came on the offensive.
      There is no doubting who is the top dog in this weight division still.

      Birmingham City and Huddersfield Town have been relegated from the Championship.
      The two clubs join Rotherham in slipping into League One, with the Millers’ relegation having been confirmed last month.
      Huddersfield went into their clash with Ipswich needing a goal difference swing of 15 to stand any chance of survival, even if they somehow beat the Tractor Boys.
      Blues, meanwhile, faced promotion-chasing Norwich at Carrow Road knowing that a win coupled with defeat for any of Plymouth Argyle, Sheffield Wednesday or Blackburn Rovers would keep them up.
      Gary Rowett’s men defeated the Canaries 1-0, courtesy of a 55th minute goal by Paik Seung-ho.
      But incredibly Argyle, Wednesday and Blackburn all won to send Blues down.

      Copy linkCopiedFull report
      IPSWICH have been promoted to the Premier League.
      The Tractor Boys booked their place in the top-flight with 2-0 win over Huddersfield on the final day of the Championship season.
      Ipswich came into the game knowing they only needed to avoid defeat against the relegated Terriers – but finished a fantastic season off in style as Wes Burns and Omari Hutchinson scored the goals.
      Ipswich have not been in the Premier League since the 2001/02 season.
      Led by former Manchester United coach Kieran McKenna, he has fired them to back-to-back promotions.
      When Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s former assistant took over at Portman Road in December 2021, they were 12th in the third tier.

      Copy linkCopiedMcKenna reacts
      Kieran McKenna is a ridiculously good coach.
      Now he’ll get to tussle it out with the best in the business in the Premier League next year.
      He told Sky Sports: “It means a lot. Mostly seeing how much it means to everyone, the players, the supporters, to be one of the leaders of that is absolutely massive, it’s a wonderful day,
      “I’m very, very proud of everyone involved. We’ve delivered a really good performance. It’s what we’ve done all year.
      “I’m sure it’ll sink in in a couple of days. There’s a lot of work to do, it’ll start in a couple of days time.”
