      However, Stelling replied: “I am not Andy. I am a member of the public with a right to express an opinion.”

      One commented: “Keane looks like a Bond villain.”
      Meanwhile, Carragher was given flowing locks in the imagined image of himself from 90 years ago.
      The ex-Liverpool defender’s look was completed by an unbuttoned shirt as one fan wrote: “Carragher got that Essex look.”
      Richards also saw a change to his hairstyle, with AI handing him a much shorter cut whilst keeping his trademark grin.

      However, another claimed: “Neville literally looks the same.”
      Recent images of the pundits were also included in the video to highlight the contrast with their AI counterparts.

      Smith was a world champion at 168lbs but has since moved up in weight and looked impressive.
      Beterbiev, 38, has won all of his 19 fights by knockout but looked vulnerable in his win over Anthony Yarde a year ago.
      Smith and his Russian opponent were supposed to fight back in August, but an injury to Beterbiev set the fight back a few months.
      Smith dispatched of Lenin Castillo with a brutal knockout before folding Mathieu Bauderlique in half last year.
      He hasn’t faced anyone like Beterbiev, however, and he has to do so on away soil in Canada.
      When is Beterbiev vs Smith?

      Beterbiev’s big clash with Smith will take place on Saturday, January 13.
      Ring-walks for the main event will likely get going from 4am UK time on Sunday, January 14.
      The fight will be held at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada.

      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

      Smith vs Beterbiev will be shown live on Sky Sports Arena and Main Event in the UK.
      You can live stream the action from the NOW TV or Sky Go app, both of which are available for download onto your mobile or tablet device.

      What has been said?
      Smith said: “I’m no stranger to fighting on away soil, having boxed in Saudi Arabia twice, across America, and now heading to Canada on August 19.
      “There was no hesitation from me going to Canada to fight Artur Beterbiev, and I will be returning to Liverpool as a world champion once more.
      “I’m excited to finally get my opportunity to become a two-weight world champion.”
      Beterbiev added: “He’s good opponent. He’s good challenge for me.
      “If we talk about my past opponents, I never say someone’s going to be easy for me, if it’s going to be easy for me or not.
      “Like him too, I’m preparing for Callum Smith for 100 per cent like he prepare for me too.
      “I have boxing coach and condition coach for power training, cardio.
      “Every camp I ask them after sparrings or after my toughest trainings with my condition coach, ‘how is it? Is it better than five years ago or not good? How do you think?’ And they tell me it’s better than five years ago but I don’t know.
      “I feel good too, but I think they lie to me. I feel good, I’m good. I feel everything good.” More

      Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher pick Premier League teams of the season with pair rowing over omission of HUGE star

      by

      GARY NEVILLE and Jamie Carragher saw in 2024 by rowing over their Premier League teams of the season so far.Neville, 48, and Carragher, 45, were part of Sky Sports’ broadcast for Liverpool’s 4-2 win over Newcastle on New Year’s Day.
      Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville disagreed over their respective teams of the seasonCredit: Getty
      Following the match, the pair revealed the 11 players they believe make up the best Premier League side this term.
      Surprisingly, they agreed on eight stars, with just three differences between the teams.
      The names they shared included the entire back four – Trent Alexander-Arnold, William Saliba, Virgil van Dijk and Destiny Udogie.
      There was also no surprise that they went for Arsenal man Declan Rice in midfield.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      And they selected three of the same forwards – Mo Salah, Jarrod Bowen and Son Heung-min.
      But their discrepancies began with the choice of formation as Carragher picked a conventional 4-3-3, while Neville went for an attacking 4-2-4.
      In goal, Carragher chose Tottenham shot-stopper Guglielmo Vicario, while Neville picked Liverpool’s Alisson Becker.
      But it was in midfield where the pair started bickering.

      That’s because Carragher put Cole Palmer and Bernardo Silva in his midfield, snubbing two of Manchester City’s biggest names in Erling Haaland and Rodri.
      And while the omission of top scorer Haaland would have shocked many, it was the absence of Spanish midfielder Rodri that left Neville utterly bemused.
      Neville, who claimed his XI would “steam roller” Carragher’s side, said: “Rodri is the best midfield player in the world in his position.
      “They’ve won two trophies already and are about two points, three points off the top of the league. I can’t believe you’ve not picked Rodri in that midfield.”
      He then went on to add: “I love Bernardo Silva and I think Cole Palmer’s a great talent. I couldn’t pick any one for Chelsea or United, I just wrote them off.
      “But Silva, I couldn’t get him in ahead of any of my front four players; Haaland for me is the best striker in the world along with Harry Kane, he’s the top scorer in the league.”
      Man City’s three league defeats have been the only matches Rodri has missed in the Prem this season – highlighting his importance to the team.
      Meanwhile, Carragher, who labelled Neville’s team “too narrow”, took umbrage with Neville leaving out both Silva and Palmer.
      He said: “I can’t believe you’ve not picked Bernardo Silva, I just think he’s sensational every season. And Cole Palmer, you said you can’t pick a certain player because a team hasn’t done so well, but that for me elevates Cole Palmer.
      “His performances this season, he’s been Chelsea’s best player by a mile, yes that’s not too difficult. But I think Palmer has been one of the players of the season.”
      Palmer, 21, has contributed eight goals and four assists in 17 Premier League games since joining Chelsea from Man City in the summer.
      Silva, 29, has five goals and four assists in 16 league matches for the champions.

      But after disagreeing on a couple of their picks, Neville and Carragher came to a consensus over their Premier League manager of the season so far as they both went for Aston Villa boss Unai Emery.
      Villa sit second after 20 games, just three points behind leaders Liverpool.

      by

      SKY SPORTS legend Chris Kamara has revealed his dad’s tough upbringing in Sierra Leone… a country he could have represented during his playing career.The broadcasting legend, 66, was born in Middlesbrough to a Sierra Leonean father, Alimamy Kindo Kamara, on Christmas Day in 1957.

      And he discussed his father’s early experiences when responding to an appeal from the charity Street Child UK on social media.
      He tweeted: “My Dad left Freetown Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 in 1945! He managed to escape the mud hut that was home & the poverty his family were experiencing.
      “In 2023 things have hardly changed 🙈.”
      Kamara’s comments come after he revealed last year that he was offered the opportunity to play for Sierra Leone.

      However, he turned it down as England boss Sir Bobby Robson hinted at a possible Three Lions call-up which never came.
      In January 2022, Kamara tweeted: “Watching my dad’s country Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 play Algeria 🇩🇿 in today’s African Nations Cup.
      “Had the chance over the years to play for them but Bobby Robson told me to me to wait by the phone ☎️ 😂🤣 .

      Kamara left his role on Sky Sports in 2022 after struggling with his voice.
      He explained how he felt like a “fraud” following his apraxia of speech diagnosis.
