      It read: “President Rocco Commisso, his family, the Fiorentina board and everyone associated with the club share the pain of Kurt Hamrim’s family and the entire footballing world for his passing.
      “Hamrin was and always will be a legend for all football fans and especially for Fiorentina fans.
      “He still holds the record for goals in the purple shirt along with [Gabriel] Batistuta.
      “With the lily on his chest, he won a Cup Winners’ Cup and two Italian Cups and has inextricably linked his life to the city of Florence.”

      Another of Hamrin’s former clubs, Italian champions Juventus, issued their own statement after learning of the winger’s passing.
      It read: “Kurt Hamrin, one of the highest-scoring foreigners who played in Italy, has left us at the age of 89.
      “It was Juventus who brought the Swede, born in Stockholm on 19 November 1934, to Serie A.
      “He spent only one season in Turin, which was very important for his career.

      “Afterwards, there were experiences in Padova, in Fiorentina (where he was Paolo Rossi’s idol as a child fan, declaring how much his way of playing influenced him), in Milan and in Napoli.”
      The cause of Hamrin’s passing is currently unknown.
      Hamrin was, up until his death, the last surviving player from the 1958 World Cup final between Sweden and Brazil.
      His death came a month after Brazil’s last survivor of the match Mario Zagallo passed away.
      Hamrin began his professional career with AIK in 1952 before he joined Juve in 1957.
      He would spend the bulk of his career in Italy, where he also had stints with AC Milan, Napoli and Padova.
      The majority of the wideman’s career, however, was spent in Florence with Fiorentina, whom he scored 150 goals for in 269 appearances.
      Hamrin bagged 190 Serie A goals during his time in Italy, a haul which sees him ninth above the likes of Alessandro Del Piero and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in Serie A’s all-time leading goalscorers list.
      Hamrin made a total of 32 appearances for Sweden between 1953 and 1965, scoring 17 goals for his country.

      Three of those strikes came in the 1958 World Cup, where they played a Pele-inspired Brazil in the final.
      Pele bagged a brace, as did the recently-deceased Zagallo, as the Samba Boys ran out 5-2 winners.

      Hamilton, 39, has been with the Brackley-based team since 2013 but will leave after the 2024 campaign.
      Mercedes are now on the lookout for a replacement driver.
      The Silver Arrows have been linked with the likes of Carlos Sainz, Fernando Alonso, Oscar Piastri and Alexander Albon.
      However, Valtteri Bottas has got fans thinking he will be the new driver after a social media post.

      The current Stake F1 team driver posted a snap of him playing darts on Instagram.
      His followers were quick to point out that the Finnish ace has tagged the location as Brackley, the town where Mercedes’ operations centre is based in.
      Many took to social media to share their theory that Bottas will be lining up alongside George Russell next year.
      One fan posted: “Now Bottas is at Brackley. Oh GARD.”

      He left the team to join Alfa Romeo after coming second in the driver’s championship twice.
      As a result of Hamilton’s move to join Ferrari, the company’s value has skyrocketed to over £3billion.
      The Brit released a statement in which he admitted that the move has made him feel a “range of emotions”.

      Former heavyweight champion David Haye’s wish comes true after 11 years as Tyson Fury has to axe Usyk fight over cut

      by

      DAVID HAYE has revealed he wanted Tyson Fury to suffer a fight-postponing cut after the Gypsy King trolled him for pulling out of their 2013 showdown.The former WBA heavyweight champion was forced to withdraw from their grudge match 11 years ago after suffering a nasty gash in one of his final sparring sessions.

      Fury was relentless with his abuse of Haye and even suggested his “s***house” rival deliberately got cut so he could pull out of the fight.
      Haye, 43, hasn’t forgotten that and has now spoken out after Fury was forced to cancel his February 17 showdown with Usyk.
      He said on Instagram: “Fury suffers a cut a couple of weeks before the fight. I know that pain all so well – in 2013 when I was scheduled to fight Tyson Fury, I suffered a cut.
      “And oh did I not hear the end of it from him.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “I actually remember at the time thinking, ‘I hope one day before one of his big fights he has to suffer this.’
      “‘He’s been that much of a d**k about it.’ And here we are. But I don’t feel that good about it at all.”
      One of Fury’s slew of tweets lambasting Haye for pulling out of their fight went viral hours after his historic clash with Usyk was delayed again, with fans seeing the funny side.
      The WBC heavyweight champion wrote: “The cut is genuine. Correct you can’t box with the cut.

      What does this mean for boxing?The saddest thing is this didn’t really come as a surprise to the British boxing media, writes SunSport’s boxing correspondent Wally Downes.
      Rumours of Fury struggling in sparring with cruiserweight King Jai Opetaia and teenage sensation Moses Itauma were rife.
      It seemed unlikely that the Gypsy King would risk upsetting Turki Alalshikh and the Saudi paymaster. 
      But now the disaster has officially hit.
      As recently as Friday afternoon, SunSport was being invited to Usyk’s secret European camp for a media day on February 6.
      And there was the release of the mega-money promo that merged about eight Hollywood films and cost silly million pounds.
      If it’s only a cut, there is the outside chance Fury can be back in a few weeks.
      But we saw against Otto Wallin that he’s vulnerable to a bleed that needed months to recover.
      When Fury was dropped and useless against Francis Ngannou in October – delaying the original undisputed decider – the money men behind the scenes created an incredible replacement with AJ vs Wallin.
      And they could do something absolutely crazy to compensate now.

      “Correct has to be cancelled. That’s why he’s cut so he can pull out. S***house.”
      Fury had 15 stitches to close the wound re-opened by sparring partner Agron Smakici, who has also sparred with former two-time unified heavyweight king Anthony Joshua.
      And his cutman reckons it could be at least THREE MONTHS before he’s allowed to resume sparring.
      Jorge Capetillo told Betway: “I would say it will take 90 days at least to recover from a cut in sparring.
      “Hopefully the fight can happen in the summer because it’s such unfortunate news.
      “The cut needs to heal really good and then Tyson can get back in action, back in training and get back in camp so it will be at least a few months for sure.
      “Accidents can happen in sparring, and this is what has happened with Tyson so he will need time to heal.
      “It will now reopen during the fight if they continued into the fight so now he needs time out to make sure it doesn’t open up with a first punch from Oleksandr Usyk.
      Tyson Fury’s statement in fullTYSON Fury has apologised to boxing fans after suffering a horrific cut to his eye in training.
      Fury said: “I am absolutely devastated after preparing for this fight for so long and being in such superb condition.
      “I feel bad for everyone involved in this huge event and I will work diligently towards the rescheduled date once the eye has healed.
      “I can only apologise to everyone affected including my own team, Team Usyk, the undercard fighters, partners, and fans as well as our hosts and my friends in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”
      He also posted on instagram, with the caption: “Can’t help getting injured in sparring but what I can say was Usyk was in trouble.
      “I am in fantastic shape. I will resheduel (sic) soon as i can. 2024 a massive year for team GK #undisputed #wbcking”

      “Obviously during camp, sparring sessions when getting ready for a fight of this calibre means you bring the best sparring partners you can and work hard in sparring.
      “But sometimes it’s very tough and things like this can happen.
      “We always try to prevent that and make sure the fighter has a healthy camp, but this is part of the game.
      “This is a fight that requires the best of the best with the best sparring partners.
      “When there’s a cut happened by a punch, the opponent can get a TKO if the fight gets stopped so all of that stuff is important to have precaution.
      “I know how hard Tyson was working for this fight.

      “He was developing well with us but obviously got the injury, but it’s good for him to get some game time now in a good league at a good club. Ashley Phillips, Alfie Devine, you know from all those aspects.”
      He then cheekily switched the subject from football to Formula One, referencing Lewis Hamilton’s blockbuster move to Ferrari.
      The Tottenham boss continued: “Probably the only disappointing one yesterday, I thought there was a really good opportunity for us. The club didn’t feel that it was the right move for us so I’m disappointed with that.

      And the German tactician attended his pre-match press conference to face the media as he bids for his second Premier League crown in what will be his final season at Anfield.
      But suddenly the 56-year-old was distracted after one journalist’s phone starting ringing right in front of him.
      The ex-Borussia Dortmund boss picked it up and noticed it was the dentist calling one of the reporters.
      The departing Liverpool manager decided to interrupt the conference and alert the owner as he thought that could have been an emergency.

      Klopp said while showcasing his own pearly white teeth: “The dentist is calling, this might be important.”
