      Morocco star Youssef En-Nesyri angrily ran towards Mbemba and team-mate Yassine Bounou tied to hold him back.
      Players from both teams chased after En-Nesyri to make sure things didn’t get out of hand.
      After the game, Mbemba was racially abused on Instagram as yobs replied to his latest posts with monkey and gorilla emojis and added some vile statements.
      The Congo captain decided against addressing the full version of events but praised Regragui as he called him a “great man”.
      Mbemba said: “I respect the coach who is a great man. The TV cut the videos, but I have them. I don’t need to swing them.

      “I keep my silence, it’s better, that’s how I am. Everyone knows me, I respect everyone, I don’t need to shoot anyone but God’s justice is there.”
      Regragui, who led Morocco to a historic fourth-place finish at the 2022 World Cup and made them the first ever African side to reach the semi-finals, offered his version of events.
      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.

      “So if he has images other than what we see on television, let him take them out, with pleasure. And he’ll see exactly what happened.
      “And that’s what happened… Before I went to shake his hand, he took me and my assistant to task on the sidelines before the end of the game, he spoke badly to us. And Desabre knows it.”

      Georgina firstly stunned at the star-studded Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai last week as she posed in a lace mini dress.
      That was when she accompanied her Al-Nassr forward fella Ronaldo as he won the Fans’ Favourite Player of the Year award at the do.
      But she took centre stage last night in a sparkling Lena Bena Berisha dress back in Saudi Arabia.

      It is in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 and has been billed as the largest celebration of entertainment creators in the Arab world.
      But it was Georgina’s followers that were celebrating her glitz and glamour after she posted a number of snaps of herself at the bash.
      Along with a love heart and star emoji, she captioned them with: “What a magical night at the #JoyAwards.”

      He has scored 54 goals since then but he was still not named on the 30-man shortlist for the Ballon d’Or, which was won for an eighth time by rival Lionel Messi.
      Ronaldo also failed to make The Best awards’ men’s player of the year shortlist but he did collect two other prizes at the Globe Soccer Awards as he added Best Middle East Player and Best Goal Scorer gongs to the fan one.
      But he took aim at his Ballon d’Or and Best Awards snubs by saying: “I think that, in a way, these awards are losing credibility. We have to analyse the entire season.
      “It’s not to say that Messi didn’t deserve it, or Haaland or even Mbappe. I simply no longer believe in these awards.

      “And it’s not because I won at Globe Soccer. But there are facts, there are numbers. And the numbers don’t deceive.
      “They can’t take this trophy away from me because it’s a reality. So it makes me even happier, because the numbers are facts.”

      Cruiserweight monster LEAVES Tyson Fury training camp after just five rounds of sparring and fans think they know why

      by

      RUMOURS that a monster cruiserweight was sent home from Tyson Fury’s training camp after just five rounds of sparring have been quickly denied.The 35-year-old Gypsy King will attempt to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in over 25 years next month when he takes on Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh.

      The Brit has provided his supporters with their first glimpse at his secret Saudi training camp for the biggest fight of his career.
      Usually outspoken Fury had essentially gone radio silent ahead of the showdown and has not been regularly taking to social media like usual.
      But he did provide some insight into what he’s been doing as he shared a clip of himself and his team getting a training session in at the gym.
      Now some more news from his camp has emerged after it was revealed that unbeaten 24-0 Aussie cruiserweight star Jai Opetaia had been drafted in for sparring.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      But after just five rounds of working with the 6ft 9in Fury, he had left and returned Down Under – sparking some wild claims from boxing fans.
      Fox Sports Australia’s Ben Damon started the rumours when he revealed that the two had sparred.
      He wrote on X: “Jai Opetaia did five rounds of sparring with Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia but with a lack of orthodox sparring in Fury’s camp Opetaia has now returned to Australia to continue his own preparations for the planned Mairis Briedis rematch at #FuryUsyk.”
      That instantly led to widespread speculation on social media as fans believed they knew the reason why the 28-year-old had left the Gypsy King’s camp.

      “Haha he defo sparked out Fury,” claimed one.
      Another said: “Jai rolled in with the thunder from down under and got sent home.”
      “Dropped in Sparring? Sparred only 5 rounds? Yeah jai cracked him,” claimed a third.
      While another wrote: “Hahahaha what’s he done to Fury?”
      However, one fan asked Damon directly, saying: “Did you hear anything about Jai dropping Fury in their sparring?”
      To which Damon replied: “Yep I heard it didn’t happen.”
      Opetaia will face Briedis in his next fight on the undercard of Fury versus Usyk next month.
      The 6ft 2in star holds the Ring magazine and lineal cruiserweight titles but vacated his IBF one after a disagreement with them last month.
      After seeing the rumours spread like wildfire online, his co-promoters quickly responded to the claims that he had dropped Fury.
      A statement from Tasman Fighters said: “Jai Opetaia has recently returned from Saudi Arabia where he sparred and trained with Tyson Fury.
      “They were fantastic, competitive rounds and an incredible experience for Jai.”
      It continued: “However any talk of either boxer being dropped is not true.
      READ MORE SUN STORIES
      “Jai is now back in Australia finalising his preparation to defend his world title and cannot wait to do so in Saudi Arabia.” 
      SunSport understands that nobody in Fury’s camp matches either the orthodox stance or the 6ft 1in size of Briedis, hence Opetaia heading home to spar with someone of a similar ilk.

      Elle Brooke opens up on sisterhood with boxing mentor Ebanie Bridges despite being ‘separated’

      And Bridges would go onto corner the social media star while helping her in training and sparring.
      The two have even shot racy content together on OnlyFans but Bridges has now switched to Dave Coldwell’s gym in Rotherham.
      Brooke, 26, told SunSport: “She’s still my mentor, 100 per cent. 
      “I don’t see her as much, obviously she was training for her fight and she’s up North now so we’re separated.

      “If she was round the corner we’d see each other all the time but we’re still such good friends, we’re like sisters. 
      “She’s less involved with the boxing now but she’s always there for me mentally and she’s honestly the biggest and the best hype woman in the world. I can always go to her for advice.” 
      Brooke bravely opened up on how a party lifestyle drove her to drugs and depression – before boxing helped turn her life around.
      The sport also introduced her to soul sister Bridges and the rest of Tibbs’ stable.

      She said: “If it wasn’t for boxing I would’ve never have met her.
      “I would never have moved to Essex, I would never have met Ebanie, never have met some of the boys in the gym. 
      “And because I don’t go out on the weekends, they’re the ones I rely one for company a lot of the time. My life revolves around boxing now.” 
      Brooke makes her return in Leeds on Misfits 12 against ex-Love Islander AJ Bunker, who she beat in 2022.
      The bad blood has since brewed so bragging rights will also be on the line as well as Bunker’s Misfits belt.
      Brooke said: “We know of each other now. When we first fought it was just someone else in the influencer scene to take on that fight. 
      “Whereas now she’s champ, I’ve already beat her and it’s her opportunity for redemption, my opportunity to win the belt and that’s the story. 
      “We also aren’t that fond of each other, so it’s got great ingredients for a good fight.”
