    In his comeback after three years out, he beat rapper Swarmz and Mexican boxer Luis Pinenda to win the cruiserweight title.
    He defended it with a knockout over gamer Faze Temper and against nightclub tycoon and professional boxer Joe Fournier.
    It was also on the line the night he lost to Tommy Fury – but he never actually conceded the title.
    Now it appears KSI will not defend it again either after taking to social media to reveal it has been vacated.

    He posted: “I have enjoyed the honour of being The Misfits Cruiserweight Champion immensely.
    “I have other plans in the pipeline and it wouldn’t be fair for me to hold that title any longer so…
    “I am relinquishing the belt and a new champion will be crowned on the next Survivor Tag!”
    KSI, 30, took time away from boxing following defeat to Fury, 24.

    But he recently confirmed he WILL return this year, eyeing a summer fight date.
    Although a rematch with Fury looks unlikely after their bitter fallout following the controversial fight ending.
    And a grudge match against Jake Paul, 27, also faces the KO amid a breakdown in talks between the camps.

    Kammy — famed for his catchphrase of “Unbelievable Jeff” when giving match updates to Soccer Saturday host Jeff Stelling — told how he was on a busy Heathrow to King’s Cross service when he offered a “mature lady” the chance to sit down in his place.
    Chris, 66, said she replied: “Why would I need to?”
    He added on X/Twitter: “I gave her a look of disdain.
    “On reflection, I didn’t offer my seat to any blokes of a mature age.

    “So my apologies. Chivalry is dead.”
    The broadcaster added: “I have chewed on this since Tuesday night and realise I am still a dinosaur.
    “I’m sorry and accept that I was in the wrong and hopefully won’t do it again.”
    Some on the social media platform backed the star, saying: “As a mature woman, I commend your good manners.”

    But others insisted he was being old-fashioned, and sexist, and one said: “I don’t want men to offer me a seat, thanks.”
    Unsurprisingly, popular Chris was backed by male fans, with one saying writing: “Manners maketh the man.”
    Another fan added: “She is the one at fault.
    “There aren’t many of us left.”
    Last year, Chris received an MBE for services to charity and anti-racism.
    He has previously told how he was diagnosed with speech disorder, apraxia.
    The condition affects pathways from the brain, making it difficult for someone to say what they want correctly or consistently.
    Chris had experimental treatment in Mexico which he says has helped. More

    Roma celebrated her second birthday last November, while Luis’s dad was still being held by kidnappers in their native Colombia.

    And in a joint message on social media, the couple wrote alongside one of the photos of the latest addition to their family: “It’s a long-awaited and desired girl, who came into our lives with incredible magic.
    “On our seventh anniversary, April 25, we decided it was time to see our family grow.
    “Just a month later, also on the 25th, this time in May, we received the news that we did not expect to hear so soon, our baby was already with us.

    “Charlotte has arrived to fill us with laughter, love and unforgettable moments. Now the 25th of each month belongs to her. Welcome our magical princess.”
    The footballer’s father Luis Manuel Díaz Jimenez, 58, feared he wouldn’t make it out alive as he endured a terrifying 12-day ordeal after being kidnapped by ELN guerrillas in Colombia.
    He was freed in a handover involving a Colombian priest close to the Venezuelan border on November 9 last year.
    His son continued playing through the harrowing episode, scoring a late goal after coming on as a substitute in Liverpool’s November 5 win over Luton.
    He then returned to Colombia to be reunited with his dad in emotional scenes following his release.
    He went on to score two goals for his country in a historic victory over Brazil in a match his father watched from the stands.
    The ELN, branded a terrorist organisation by the US government and the EU, admitted responsibility for the kidnapping before Luis Manuel’s release.
    Four alleged members of a gang called Los Primos, said to have carried out the kidnap and handed Mr Diaz over to a regional ELN unit called the Northern War Front, were subsequently arrested and are believed to be still in prison awaiting trial.

    Bizarre moment bitter referee sends off footie star for ‘disrespectful’ act at end of match

    A REFEREE issued the most bizarre red card after a highly unusual incident that saw him getting trolled in Turkey.Ilker Yasin Avcı blew his whistle for last time on Sunday following the Turkish second-division match between Genclerbirligi and Sakaryaspor.
    A referee pulled out the strangest red card in Turkey
    Sakaryaspor ace Murat Cem Akpınar trolled referee Ilker Yasin Avcı
    Akpinar went for a handshake but pulled his hand away and Avci sent him off
    That was when Sakarayaspor ace Murat Cem Akpınar, who plays on loan from Trabzonspor, approached the ref and extended his arm to seemingly shake his hand.
    And just when the official was ready to return the favour – in what he thought was an act of sportsmanship – Akpinar pulled his hand away.
    That enraged Avci who immediately reached into his pocket and whipped out a yellow card.
    That was the midfielder’s second booking of the night and it ultimately led to a red card.

    Fans were divided on social media as some thought the Turkish ace deserved to be sent off as he was “disrespectful” but others argued the referee was just being a little too bitter.
    One fan tweeted: “IS THERE REALLY SUCH A RULE?”
    Another commented: “He deserved it.”
    A third wondered: “What happened?”

    This fan said: “Since when is that a red card?”
    And that one wrote: “I was going to ask if there is such an application, but the football player was disrespectful.”
    Genclerbirligi won 3-1 at home and Sakaryaspor were left unhappy with Avci’s officiating.
    The visitors’ chief Semih Ciftci and technical manager Turgay Karslı criticised the official and the linesman after the game.
    Fans were left divided on social media as to whether the ref was right
    Ciftci said: “The referees were very malicious. There was a penalty in the second half. We say, ‘Let them show the position on VAR’.
    “The referee said, ‘No! Don’t talk or I’ll give you a yellow card’. Also, the linesmen threatened us and did not let us talk. They give a yellow card to anyone who objects.
    “They are threatening speeches on the field. We cannot express ourselves.
    “In the position for the second goal, the opponent player takes [Rajko] Rotman down to the ground as if wrestling. How can they not see this? It’s incredible, we can’t understand it.

    “We could not understand these decisions of the referees. How do these happen, and on what basis are these decisions made? Let these be explained and let them tell us.
    “Let’s say ‘thank you’ and be content with our rights. But we will not remain silent this way.” More

    The former Toulouse player told L’Equipe: “I said to [Congo manager Sebastien] Desabre: ‘Bring him back to me, he’s going crazy, he’s talking nonsense’. I didn’t like it because it insinuates a lot of things.
