    GOOD AFTERNOON!
    Hello and welcome to SunSport’s live coverage of Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul! Yep you read that right.
    50-0, retired, 44-year-old, former five-weight world boxing champion with some of the best defensive skills the sport has ever seen will take on Paul, an 0-1 YouTuber.
    Said YouTuber, however, towers over Mayweather and outweighs him by around 35lbs… the most Floyd has ever given up in weight.
    Their huge star-studded event will take place later TONIGHT, leading into the early hours of Monday morning, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
    The fight will be an ‘exhibition’, a word boxing fans have become all too accustomed to over the last couple of years.
    It means no record-padding, no official winner and just eight rounds of action. But there CAN be knockouts.
    Both Mayweather and Paul have promised to put each other to sleep, and the chances of that got even greater this week as the glove sizes were reduced from 12oz to 10oz.
    Shades of Mayweather-McGregor fight week there, when they came down to 8oz gloves after initially agreeing 10oz.
    That night didn’t go down well for McGregor.
    As well as the freak show that is Mayweather-Paul, Jarrett Hurd, Badou Jack and Chad Johnson are all in action on the undercard.
    This won’t be your customary boxing event, so embrace the madness now, or you’ll find yourself shocked by the antics later on.
    Sit back, relax, soak up the content and we’ll be with you from now until the fight starts at around 4am tomorrow…
    Enjoy!

    What have they said?
    Paul said: “He’s one of the best boxers of our generation.
    “When I was presented with the opportunity to fight him, as a showman and an entertainer who has risen to challenges his whole life this was too good to turn down.
    “I think the biggest thing here, and it’s obvious, is my height, my weight, my reach and my age. There are weight classes in boxing for a reason.”
    Mayweather previously said: “These YouTube girls better find some Barbie dolls to play with cause I’m not the one for the kid games.
    “Three years ago a fighter from the UFC said my name and I had to put a muzzle on that b***h.
    “Logan Paul can get the same treatment before I go conquer Japan again.” More

    Jeff Stelling feared Sky Sports pal Chris Kamara was latest ex-footballer to suffer from dementia over thyroid problems

    SKY star Jeff Stelling feared his Soccer Saturday pal Chris Kamara had become the latest ex-footballer to be suffering from dementia when he was struck down by thyroid problems.The pair have worked together on the show for the best part of two decades, winning the hearts of the nation.

    But it turned out the lovable reporter was suffering with thyroid problemsCredit: Getty
    And Jeff, 66, admits, like the rest of us, he was worried when Kammy seemed far from his usual snappy self while reporting from matches. The pundit appeared distant and tired, with his speech noticeably slower.
    But it turned out his problems were the result of an underactive thyroid – or hypothyroidism.
    Jeff, who announced he will be taking part in his fourth March for Men charity walk in aid of Prostate Cancer UK this summer, said: “I had no idea what was wrong, although I was obviously aware Kammy wasn’t himself.
    “You didn’t need to be very observant to notice he just wasn’t the same Kammy we’ve come to know and love over the years – someone extraverted, bubbly, sharp and who would stop you in your tracks.
    “I knew there was something wrong and I thought it might be the onset of some early form of dementia caused by heading balls throughout his football career.
    “There are so many former players suffering from that now.
    “So I know Kammy was relieved when the problem was diagnosed and we were all relieved too.”
    Kammy – famous for saying “Unbelievable Jeff” – is now having his condition treated with medication.

    Jeff added: “The thing with Kammy is he is one of the real good guys. He works his socks off and has brought light and fun to the nation on TV for 20-odd years.
    “He has become a national treasure, really against all the odds because he had a good football career, but not a glittering one, which is what you usually expect from someone who becomes a household name through punditry.
    “His career on camera, to be honest, is more successful than his career on the football field. And I’m not saying that to belittle it because he was a blooming good footballer.
    “But he has been absolutely sensational on TV. So when we found out it was a thyroid problem which could be treated it was fantastic news.
    “And the real Chris Kamara will be back next season.”
    Jeff hopes Kammy will join him on his charity walk in the summer when he will pace four marathons in four different regions of the country in four days in August and September in aid of Prostate Cancer UK.
    The presenter, whose previous three walks have raised more than £1million for the charity, hung up his hiking boots after his last trek in 2019.
    But he decided to do another after his pals Lloyd Pinder – who joined him on his first walk in 2016 – and former England, Liverpool and Tottenham keeper Ray Clemence, who handed him a medal at the finish line in London in 2019, both died from the disease last year.
    The walk will start in the North East – home to Lloyd’s beloved Sunderland – on August 30, before heading to Yorkshire, where he lived, the following day.
    It will then take place in Liverpool, where Clemence made his name on September 1 before finishing in London, where he played for Spurs, on September 4.
    Jeff will be joined on the walk by a number of sporting pals and members of the public can take part too.

    Werner’s numbers ‘terrible,’ blasts Souness as Chelsea legend Hasselbaink says he ‘has to be calmer & more calculated’

    CHELSEA striker Timo Werner has to improve in front of goal.That’s the verdict of Graeme Souness and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink after the German again passed up a number of chances in the Blues’ narrow win over top four rivals Leicester City.

    Werner, bought for £47.5million last summer, has struggled in front of goal all season, managing just 12 goals in 50 games – with only six of those coming in the Premier League.
    He saw two goals ruled out in the 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge – one for offside and one for handball – and was wasteful on a number of occasions.
    Werner, who won the decisive penalty, scored 34 goals for RB Leipzig and was expected to push Chelsea to a title challenge this season, but has drawn heavy criticism throughout the campaign.
    Sky Sports pundit Souness blasted: “If Chelsea had been going through a difficult time, [Werner] would have been the target, above any other player at Chelsea, for criticism.
    “His numbers are terrible for a centre forward at a big club, but he always looks like he gets chances because he is rapid, he is electric, and he would beat most people in a sprint.
    “You see him afterwards celebrating with the supporters and he does not look down in spirits, which is a great thing.
    “He was a goalscorer before he came to Chelsea, and it may yet happen for him, but Jorginho, your midfield player, as your top scorer with seven goals, you cannot be successful if you are relying on penalties at the highest level.”
    Liverpool legend Souness then said that Chelsea must find a prolific goalscorer if they are to compete with Man City et al for the title next season.

    He added: “They will have to find [a goalscorer], whether it is Timo Werner or [Kai] Havertz or someone they bring in.
    “They have to get an out-and-out goalscorer, and I think that is the final piece of the jigsaw for them.”
    Chelsea legend and current Burton Albion boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who scored 87 goals for the Blues, agreed with Souness – although did complement his impressive all-round game.
    “I like Timo Werner’s spirit, his energy, he keeps on going, but when you are a striker at a big team, you wait for these moments when you are playing in a big match,” Hasselbaink said.
    “These decisive moments are when you have to be there and put the ball in the net, and for me he has not done that enough.
    “What I do like is that he puts himself in positions where he gets opportunities. Now the last bit, he has to do better. He has to be calmer and more calculated.

    “Having six goals is not good enough, it is not a good return, and he knows that.
    “Does he give up? No. Do I like that? Yes. But in big games you are going to get one or two big games, you have to be there and you have to make the difference.”
    Hasselbaink then added that he could see Werner becoming the main man up front for Chelsea next season.
    “The good thing is he is getting himself those opportunities, he is always there for that final ball,” the Dutchman added.
    ‘Will he become calmer? Time will tell. Do I have hope? Yes, because he keeps getting those chances, and he is stubborn like that, and you need to have that as a striker.
    “Let’s see.”

    Werner was in high spirits after the game and could be dancing after the final whistle – although he bemoaned his terrible lucky.
    He told Sky Sports: “I think the first half it was a picture of the whole season for me.
    “Until now I think every time I was close but at the end not really close.
    “I think for me maybe the unluckiest season I’ve ever had or I ever will have maybe.”

    Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul to be on Sky Sports Box Office in UK as more details emerge about blockbuster exhibition

    FLOYD MAYWEATHER’S bout with YouTuber Logan Paul will be shown on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK.0-1 novice Paul takes on 50-0 former ring king Mayweather in an eight-round exhibition in Miami, Florida on June 6.

    And fight fans will have to shell out to watch it, although no fixed UK price has yet been announced by Sky Sports.
    It was confirmed on Thursday that the event will cost US viewer £35 on Showtime pay-per-view.
    However, the usual PPV price for Sky Sports boxing events is £19.99, although the last two Anthony Joshua fights have both been £24.99.
    The likes of Badou Jack, Jean Jean Pascal and Jarrett Hurd will all feature on the undercard of the event.
    Social media star Paul reckons he will earn £14million for his exhibition fight against the all-time great.
    And yet the 26-year-old will still receive less than a fifth of Mayweather’s reported purse, which is said to be a lucrative £72m.
    It will be Paul’s third bout in a boxing ring, the other two coming as a mix of amateur and professional contests.
    The 26-year-old drew an amateur fight against fellow internet star KSI in 2018, before turning pro and losing their rematch the following year.

    Meanwhile, Mayweather – widely regarded as the best boxer of his generation – retired from the sport with a perfect 50-0 record.
    The duo were scheduled to square off inside the ring in February, only for the dust-up to be postponed to allow fans to attend.
    The PPV details come after Logan and brother Jake revealed they have hired security following Floyd’s threat to ‘kill’ The Problem Child.
    Mayweather came to blows with the younger Paul last week in Miami after the YouTuber stole his hat.
