    Chris Eubank Jr issues chilling warning to Conor Benn as Eddie Hearn set to finalise grudge match ‘this week’

    CHRIS EUBANK JR has sent a chilling warning Conor Benn’s way as their historic showdown edges closer to being re-booked.The duo were due to throw down in an iconic family grudge match last October before a pair of failed drug tests for Benn scuppered the mouthwatering showdown.

    Negotiations over the Battle of Britain resumed after Benn made a short-notice and successful return to the ring against Rodolfo Orzoco in September.
    SunSport understands talks are close to bearing fruit, with a spring punch-up on the brink of being finalised.
    And after getting wind of some social media trash talk from Benn – the son of British boxing great Nigel Benn – Eubank Jr issued the welterweight contender a blunt warning.
    He wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “DEAD MAN WALKING.”

    The jibe from Eubank Jr – the son of former WBO super-middleweight champion Chris Eubank Sr – was in response to Benn vowing to become only the second man to stop Next Gen.
    He wrote: “I can’t wait to punch you in the head @ChrisEubankJr.”
    The mouthwatering domestic dust-up between Eubank Jr and Benn fell by the wayside after the latter tested positive for the banned fertility drug clomiphene – which can elevate testosterone levels in men.
    Benn was cleared of intentionally ingesting the prohibited substance by the National Anti-Doping Panel but both UK Anti-Doping and the British Boxing Board of Control appealed the decision.

    The appeal is still ongoing and the date of when the outcome will be revealed is still unknown.
    Benn is, technically, not prohibited from boxing in the UK – despite ripping up his BBBOFC license shortly after the doping saga began.
    That has prompted promoter Eddie Hearn to press on with plans to re-book his clash with Eubank Jr.
    February 3 is the working date for the fight, which The Daily Mail claims will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
    And the undefeated Benn appeared to confirm that is indeed the date for the biggest fight of his career in his ongoing social media spat with Eubank Jr.
    In response to Eubank Jr’s “dead man” tweet, The Destroyer wrote: “I’ll remind you of this when you are being scraped up off the f***ing canvas.
    “Feb 3, I’m ending your career.” More

    And Fernandes revealed after the match he gave Rashford the penalty because he has endured a difficult spell.
    He said: “I felt Marcus needed confidence, needed his goal.
    “Marcus is an excellent penalty taker too. I’m sure he could score that penalty.
    “It’s not about who takes it, it’s about scoring that penalty, and Marcus did it perfectly. Strikers, wingers, they want to score goals, they need to score goals.
    “That’s part of the game, it gives you a boost. I think after the penalty, Marcus was unstoppable, he could take on everyone.
    “I think sometimes you need this chance, this opportunity, to get your confidence back. He’s been great for us.” More

    Premier League flop in astonishing brain freeze for Real Madrid as fans say ‘never seen anything like it’

    PREMIER LEAGUE flop Joselu had an incomprehensible mind blank moment during Real Madrid’s clash with Cadiz.The former Stoke and Newcastle striker is currently on loan at Los Blancos from fellow Spanish side Espanyol.

    Although the 33-year-old’s career has panned out better than most Premier League fans would have expected, it didn’t stop him from having a howler on Sunday.
    The Spaniard was in the Cadiz box alongside team-mate Rodrygo when the Brazilian played a square pass to him.
    It left Joselu wide open in acres of space and facing an empty goal with Cadiz goalkeeper Jeremias Ledesma out of position.
    But remarkably he decided not to shoot and get himself a certain sixth goal of the season.

    Rather he put his hands up to signal that he wasn’t going to touch it and watched the ball roll past him and out of play.
    Fans have been left utterly shocked by the moment of madness and assumed that he must have been offside.
    But footage of the incident suggests that Joselu was onside and any goal would have counted.
    One furious Real Madrid fan took to social media to vent their anger, writing: “Every normal striker would still tap the ball in right?”

    While another added: “I still can’t wrap my head around why he didn’t tap the ball in. He actually froze in real time.”
    And a third commented: “The ball wasn’t even fast, it was the perfect pace, he could score it lying down and he just chose to leave it automatically assuming it was offside.”
    A fourth chimed in saying: “Very bizarre. I’ve never seen this kind thing before!”
    Others suggested that he was letting the ball run as he thought Rodrygo was going to get to it and didn’t want to be selfish.
    One fan wrote: “I don’t think his concern was about being offside. I think he didn’t want to get in Rodrygo’s way because he didn’t think it was a pass.”
    And a second added: “They both confused each other. Joselu was thinking Rodrygo was going to score, Rodrygo left it for Joselu thinking he would shoot.”
    Joselu’s blushes were spared in the end as Real Madrid still went on to win the game 3-0 with ease.
    And it was a historic game too with Jude Bellingham breaking Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal scoring record at the club by netting 14 times in first 15 appearances for the European giants.

    Garnacho scores overhead kick Neville instantly brands ‘better than Rooney’ then compares himself to his hero Ronaldo

    AWESTRUCK Manchester United team-mates hailed Alejandro Garnacho for an overhead wonder goal rated “better than Rooney’s” – as the winger himself compared it to a strike from Cristiano Ronaldo.Garnacho posted a split picture of his twisting opener in Sunday’s 3-0 win at Everton alongside a famous similar goal from his idol Ronaldo in 2018.
    Alejandro Garnacho made what was, for him, the ultimate comparison as he shared a pic including a celebrated Cristiano Ronaldo goal

    Club and country team-mate Martinez joined in the praise for Garnacho

    Red Devils’ legend Gary Neville instantly labelled the Argentinian’s effort as the best overhead goal he’s ever seen – including Rooney’s winner for United against Manchester City in 2011.
    And Garnacho, 19, who celebrated with a Ronaldo-style Siu goal salute, said: “I couldn’t believe I scored it, to be honest.
    “I didn’t see how I scored, I just listened to the crowd and said, ‘Oh my God’. One of the best goals I’ve scored – I’m very happy.”
    He later shared a pic on X of the goal with the caption “Boom” – and used Instagram for a double image of his and ex-United hero Ronaldo’s strikes.

    Ron’s goal helped Real Madrid sink Juventus in the quarter-finals on the way to Champions League glory five years ago.
    And United boss Erik ten Hag responded to Garnacho’s version by saying: “It was probably the goal of the season — a magnificent moment.”
    Right-back Diogo Dalot even asked the teenager if he could go to the world goal of the year awards with him.
    Dalot posted: “Take me with you to that Puskas Gala please… unbelievable Hermano!”

    And Red Devils’ central defender Lisandro Martinez – watching as he recovers from injury – wrote: “Well done Hermano, proud of you.”
    Meanwhile, Sky Sports pundit Neville raved: “I don’t thing I’ve ever been in a stadium where I’ve seen an overhead kick that good.
    “And I was there for Rooney’s against Man City.”
    Fans on social media called Garnacho’s finish “the coldest moment of the season”.
    Other verdicts included: “Magical finish”… “sensational” … and “absolutely incredible”.
    Some viewers also reckon Garnacho’s blossoming season shows how much he has learnt from ex-United frontman Ronaldo.
    One claimed: “That’s Ron’s influence” and another added: “Following in the footsteps of his idol”.
    A third suggested: “Just like Ronaldo’s goals, this will last long in the hearts of men.”
    And even the usually droll Roy Keane couldn’t hold back.

    He said: “It’s very hard to talk about it because I’ve never done it myself!
    “I’m usually critical of goalkeepers, but I’ll let him off with this one, brilliant goal and a brilliant start from United. Brilliant goal.”
    The cracking finish set United on their way to victory, with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial also netting.
    But Ten Hag warned against judging Garnacho too soon by Ronaldo’s standards.
    The Dutchman said: “Don’t compare. For Garnacho to go that way he has  to work very hard.
    “You have to do it on a consistent basis and so far he has not. If you want to be a Rooney or Ronaldo you have to score 20-25 goals each season.”
