      For Misfits it’s a trip to New Orleans on April 21.
      And we have a main event just announced for that card.
      It’s a boxing return for former NFL running-back Le’Veon Bell.

      Chant of the night
      Even Jay Swingler broke out into this.
      “I would rather have a dark fruits than a wife.”
      For those that don’t know. A dark fruits is a flavoured cider drink that is popular in parts of England… clearly here.
      Nichlmao says
      “Thank you Telford. Win or lose it wasn’t about that.
      “You made our dreams come true. Thanks to Telford, to Jay, to Misfits, KSI and everyone so much.”
      Swingler says
      “He’s a tough cookie. He’s been training.
      “Everybody was saying I was going to walk all over this guy but they were wrong and Nick proved everyone wrong.
      “This man is a warrior.”

      The scorecards
      Swingler got it 39-36, 39-37 on two of the cards while the third was a 38-38 draw.
      That was close, but the home crowd and his better conditioning seemed to get Swingler through.
      Credit to Nichlmao. That decision could’ve gone either way.
      Swingler wins!
      Telford International Centre goes mad.
      It’s a majority decision.
      Nervous wait
      Swingler is up on the ropes to celebrate.
      Nichlmao gets a few more cheers for his efforts there than he got entering the ring.
      Telford holds it’s breath.
      Final bell
      What a round. What a battle. What a fight.
      I give Jay that final round – but will it be enough?
      We go to the scorecards.
      Here we go
      The fighters touch gloves for the fourth and final round.
      This is anyone’s fight still.
      Third round
      This must be driving Swingler crazy.
      His opponent looks like he’s stumbling around the ropes but every time Swingler goes in for a shot he’s met with three or four good ones and forced to cover up.
      This is so tough to score – but I think Swingler needs the final round more than Nichlmao.
      Brutal fight so far.
      Round two
      Swingler is landing and it’s getting huge roars – but Nichlmao is coming straight back forcing the home fighter to cover up.
      If anything it looks like Nichlmao is struggling with the pace a bit more than his opponent.
      Jay might tough this one out. He’s going to need all his stamina and home support in the final two rounds.
      What a round
      Swingler starts it like a house on fire and chants of ‘Telford, Telford’ go up around the arena.
      But Nichlmao comes firing back and embraces the challenge. He has Jay rocked momentarilty.
      An excellent opening round I probably give to Nichlmao.
      Final instructions
      The fighters meet in the middle of the ring one final time for the final instructions.
      The Telford International Centre is rocking. I didn’t even know this place existed, but it’s absolutely buzzing in here.
      The hometown hero
      I think we just got a louder cheer from the crowd than for the tag team match.
      Swingler comes out to ‘Highway to Hell’ in front of his home crowd.
      He skips into the ring and laps up the cheers.
      Telford is pumped for this.
      Here we go…
      It’s main event time.
      First up here comes Nichlmao.
      Next up
      A huge roar from the Telford crowd as it’s announced that local boy Jay Swingler will be coming up next in the main event.
      He’s from this part of the world, so can bank on home support against Nichlmao.
      Plenty to say
      Deen the Great says “Walid only s**t because of his sister.”
      He also adds that Adam Saleh has ducked a bout three times.
      I think Deen has plenty of options on who to fight next, to say the least.
      .Credit: Getty
      Injury news
      Deen confirms he was carrying an injury.
      He dislocated his shoulder five weeks ago and it came out again in sparring three weeks ago.
      He added that he put the tape on both shoulders so his opponent wouldn’t know which one.
      It’s unanimous!
      It’s a 40-35 decision on all three cards for Deen.
      He won every round according to the judges and the knockdown was the cherry on top.
      To the scorecards
      It’s over. Both men think they’ve won it but I think the knockdown will be the key factor here and Deen will get the decision.
      Another close battle on this packed card.
      Tug of war
      Deen is rocked now!
      Pully lands a huge blow and is giving it everything to try and steal this in the final round.
      Survival
      Pully makes it to the end of the round and stumbles back to his corner.
      Deen tried to finish it there and then but couldn’t land the killer blow.
      We go into a fourth and final round.
      Pully is down!
      A massive right hand from Deen leaves him in a heap.
      Pully takes his time to get up but the fight goes on.
      Neck and neck
      This is too close to call.
      Really good work being done by both fighters. Deen’s corner got excited at a combination he threw that seemed to back Pully up.
      Maybe that was just to get the judges’ attention.
      Tough sledding
      Not much to separate them in the opening round.
      And fortunately it looks like Deen isn’t nursing any kind of injury and the tape is just to help.

      Weighty issue
      It seems like agreeing on a weight will be the main sticking point in getting a Wett vs Brooke fight over the line.
      We’d love to see them battle it out maybe in London on May 13 on KSI’s undercard?
      Make it happen!
      Brooke side
      Elle Brooke watched this fight from ringside and commentated for DAZN.
      She says it was a close call. And then attention turns to a potential bout between her and Wett.

      Astrid says
      “It was tougher than I thought. It’s annoying about my nose it bled recently it’s so easy to cut open. Fair play to AJ, she brought it.
      “I was very confident. I trained so hard for this and was so well conditioned. I’m very proud of myself.
      “If AJ wants to prove she’s on my level – she was very close – I’m more than happy for a rematch. I’m looking forward not backwards.”
      What a battle
      Astrid Wett looks like she’s been through a war and needs a sit down.

      Final bell
      What a battle. An incredible effort from these two fighters.
      Both of them have red marks over their faces.
      Astrid is hoisted aloft by her team and should get this in a comfortable decision.
      Second done
      This is an instant classic – so much better than the last fight that we had on.
      Neither of these women is going down without a fight.
      I have Astrid up two rounds on the scorecards.
      AJ needs a KO in the final round here.
      Breather
      Both fighters get a chance to regroup as Astrid’s glove comes undone.
      A ferocious pace being set.
      What a round!
      AJ Bunker is backed up but she doesn’t stop throwing.
      The last 20 seconds of the round are a blow for blow exchange.
      Thrilling stuff and the crowd love it.
      Astrid on top though. She looks the stronger.
      Round one
      Astrid Wett immediately on the front foot in this bout.

      Misfits recap
      So tonight is fight night No 5 for KSI’s new promotional brand.
      It seems to be getting bigger and bigger and has just signed a new five-year deal with DAZN.
      Tonight is one of the smaller, regular events on the calendar.
      The PPV shows I’ve seen in London twice have been spectacular but this is the first time seeing a regular show up close.
      If Telford is anything like the O2 Arena or Wembley Arena shows from the last seven months then it should be fun.

      Location
      Telford, lovely Telford. What to say about this place.
      It’s not an area of England many people would have visited for sure.
      It’s around a two-hour drive north of London and 90-minutes south of Manchester.
      There’s not an awful lot here other than the International Centre which is hosting tonight’s event.
      I have family here so am here quite often. One cousin keeps telling me about a famous bridge they have called ‘Ironbridge’. Look it up if you want.
      Center stage
      Tonight’s female bout will see Astrid Wett take on AJ Bunker.
      The fight will see Only Fans star Astrid take on former Love Island reality contestant AJ.
      Astrid would like to complete her boxing hattrick after her fight with Bunker, with a bout against fellow OnlyFans star Elle Brooke.
      AJ made her boxing debut against Astrid’s nemesis Brooke last August.
      Chelsea fan Astrid then watched ringside as Brooke made her return against American influencer Faith Ordway in January.

      Full card
      The action has just got underway with the first bout of the evening between Tempo Arts and Godson done.
      Here’s what what’s on the menu for the evening…

      Main event: Jay Swingler v Nicholai Perrett
      King Kenny v Ashley Tebi from Rak-Su
      Deen The Great v Pully Arif
      Luis Pineda & BDave v Stromedy & Austin Sprinz
      Walid Sharks v N&A Productions
      Astrid Wett v AJ Bunker
      Ginty v Halal Ham
      Tempo Arts v Godson

      Fight night
      Hello fight fans – welcome along to our live coverage from another night of influencer boxing.
      We’re in Telford, England for the latest instalment of Misfits boxing with event number five.
      KSI is not boxing on the show tonight but there is still plenty to look forward to – including a historic moment.
      For the first time ever there will be a tag boxing match.
      And the main event will see local boy Jay Swingler take on Nicholai Perrett.

      Wolves 1 Tottenham 0: Adama Traore’s late screamer seals all three points to deliver huge blow to Spurs’ top four hopes

      by

      ANTONIO CONTE will hardly know where to start when he gets back into work on Sunday.The Italian has a lot of cleaning up to do having missed five games as he convalesced following gall bladder surgery.
      Adama Traore sunk Spurs on 82 minutes to lift Wolves to 13th placeCredit: PA

      A season that had promised much even if his side’s football has been consistently off – colour, is threatening to fall apart.
      As if FA Cup fifth round defeat to Sheffield United wasn’t bad enough as Tottenham’s long wait for a trophy goes on, Adama Traore popped up to make things even worse.
      The Wolves sub struck eight minutes from the end, producing a brilliant scissor kick volley after Fraser Forster had parried a strike from Raul Jiminez.
      It was a finish fit to win any game and lifted Julen Lopetegui’s side to the heady heights of 13th after a campaign that before the Spaniard arrived looked in danger of ending in relegation.
      But it left Tottenham and no doubt their returning manager on a serious downer.
      His first job, surely, will be to lift them for Wednesday night’s bid to rescue a Champions League quarter final spot after a 1 – 0 first leg defeat to AC Milan.
      Yet he will be deeply worried that a slide that could not have happened at such a critical moment in the season, could see them ultimately give up their top four place with fifth – placed Newcastle United now only four points behind with two games in hand.
      Conte’s No 2 Cristian Stellini made five changes from the side that slumped to that dismal 1 – 0 defeat at Bramall Lane.
      Most read in Football
      HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON FOOTBALL
      Richarlison, Lucas Moura, Pepe Sarr, Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez were benched as Conte’s No 2 searched for a quick hangover cure.
      He will have believed that any side selected, no doubt on advice from Conte, would improve on the performance against the Championship promotion hopefuls.
      Within those changes was also the cameo of Clement Lenglet replacing Dier, not because the England centre back had been any worse than any of his colleagues in South Yorkshire.
      But he is suspended for the Milan showdown and this clash offered a chance for the Frenchman to bed himself in alongside Ben Davies and Cristian Romero.
      But finding a rhythm not only in preparation for that clash but in enhancing qualification for next season’s elite European competition was tough.
      For the first have was punctured by a successions of injury stoppages.
      The longest – and certainly the most worrying for Diego Costa and his Wolves boss, was the 27th minute clash with Oliver Skipp.
      The former Chelsea warlord landed in a heap, clutching a knee and found himself stretchered off.
      Even someone as battled hardened as him couldn’t hold back a few tears as he departed.
      Tottenham did hard to shake off those Bramall blues.
      Dejan Kulesevski blazed over a fifth minute opportunity and not long after forced Jose Sa into a fine save, the goalkeeper diving low and right to claw away the curling strike.
      But Harry Kane, back from being rested against the Blades, struggled to have any real influence throughout
      He barely got a meaningful touch in the opposition box, frequently isolated from his front – line partner So.
      So much was familiar about the display before the break.
      A suggestion of a lack of bravery with the ball, a reluctance to deliver concise passing.
      Yet Son still found Ivan Persic with a beautifully-flighted free kick – except that Sa was on his near post to parry the header.
      Pedro Porro thought he had broken the stalemate six minutes into time added on and the style of his free kick deserved a celebration.
      Mario Lemina foils Spurs striker Harry Kane on a frustrating afternoon for the visitors but they remain fourth in the PremCredit: AP
      But the right wing back’s effort smashed against the bar.
      Three minutes after the break Son was suffering the same disappointed.
      With a little of the swagger of that has been missing for weeks, he sent sub Nathan Collins to his right then thumped a left footer that that also cannoned off the bar.
      Yet Tottenham were still living dangerously.
      Adama Traore, who had also come on for Mario Lemina, fired over a startling cross from the right.
      It was met by Costa’s replacement Jiminez just ten yards out but Forster reacted spectacularly to the what was all but a point – blank header to block.
      Spurs shook that fright off against the relegation strugglers and Porro, direct and enterprising, latched onto Kulesevski’s pass 20 yards out and forced Sa into more crucial work.
      The classiest player on the pitch, however, was Ruben Neves and he took centre stage as the Wolves captain got the smell of blood..
      Twice inside 60 seconds he demanded Forster’s full attention with howitzers from just outside the box – then tried one more time, this one just missing the goalkeeper’s fingers and the bar.
      He was involved in the build-up that had the home fans in the Sir Jack Hayward Stand sucking the ball into the net.
      But Mateus Da Cunha froze at the crucial moment, slicing wide of Forser’s left hand post.
      Read More on The Sun
      Which is something Traore very much did not do with the goal that lifted his side a precious three points closer to safety.
      While that hangover Tottenham had tried to shake off? It descended again, only this time so much worse.

      That’s all from London
      Arsenal produced a fantastic Premier League comeback to beat Bournemouth 3-2 at the Emirates.
      The Cherries opened the scoring after just nine seconds when Dango Ouattara delivered a low cross from the right and found Philip Billing who hit the back of the net after Dominic Solanke cleverly let the ball through to him.
      Gary O’Neil’s men doubled their lead on 57 minutes with Jack Rothwell’s fantastic corner-kick finding an unmarked Marcos Senesi, who headed it past Aaron Ramsdale.
      But the Gunners fought back and got one in just five minutes later when Emile Smith Rowe’s header set Thomas Partey up in front of Neto.

      Arsenal’s comeback win
      Arsenal haven’t completed a comeback win like today’s for 11 years!
      The Gunners won a Premier League game in which they trailed by two goals for the first time since February 2012 against Tottenham.
      The North Londoners went on to win 5-2 against rivals Spurs that day.

      Arteta said: “[I feel] Incredibly happy. That was just mad. Those feelings of happiness, joy and a result we fully deserved to get.
      “I’m really proud of the players. I had a feeling we would come back as the players were taking the initiative.

      Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko absolutely dominated the left side against Bournemouth.
      As the heat map shows below, Zinchenko was absolutely lethal in attack.
      The left-back was also effective when switching to defence.

      Updated Premier League table
      Arsenal maintained their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.
      Manchester City, who beat Newcastle earlier, were hoping to cut the deficit down to two or three points while watching Bournemouth giving Mikel Arteta’s men a hard time.
      But Reiss Nelson’s winner kept the Cherries in the relegation zone.
      Gary O’Neil’s men are second from last, but still just one point away from safety.

      Games come thick and fast
      Chelsea still have it all to do to turn their season around from where it currently sits, in 10th place in the table.
      They turn their attentions to the Champions League this week before having some testing league matches.
      One game at a time is how they will take it but these next few games could dictate their season.

      Something to build on for Potter
      Today’s victory will give Chelsea a chance of putting some sort of run together.
      With Tottenham losing at Wolves today, talk of a top-four finish is an outside possibility.
      The Blues will take confidence in ending their winless run at the expense of Javi Gracia’s Leeds today.
      Argentine puts in shift for Blues
      Enzo Fernandez showed some of his doubters what he was all about today.
      Completing in excess of 70 passes through the course of the game, the midfielder’s work rate was impressive.
      It will take time for him to settle into this Chelsea team but he certainly made his mark today.

      Boehly looks on at his investment
      Having spent upwards of £460m on the squad since taking over the club, Todd Boehly was here today to see things first hand.
      He certainly didn’t seem a big fan of the cold snap in West London this afternoon.
      After his side managed to hold onto their slender victory, he seemed happy with the end result.

      FT: Chelsea 1-0 Leeds
      The Blues did just about enough to win this one.
      On another day, against another team, they could have been punished for their defensive lapses.
      Javi Gracia will have to work some miracles to keep this Leeds side up this season.

      FT: Chelsea 1-0 Leeds
      A huge cheer at Stamford Bridge as the final whistle is blown.
      This could be a huge three points for Graham Potter.
      Chelsea manage to get over the line with all three points.
      Chelsea 1-0 Leeds
      90+4. Gallagher has shown some great passion and willingness to get around the pitch since coming on.
      He is showing a hunger that is lacking in so many players in blue.
      As Leeds win a corner the Chelsea sub is shown a yellow card for a foul in the build up.

      There are going to be four minutes added.

      Meslier came in as peacemaker, dwarfing over both players.
      Chelsea 1-0 Leeds
      84. Time and time again Leeds’ final ball is lacking.
      Javi Gracia will be tearing his hair out on the touchline.
      Tactically, they have done more than enough to get something out of this game.
      Chalobah and Madueke come on for Fernandez and Loftus-Cheek.

      Chelsea 1-0 Leeds

      82. Greenwood comes on for Harrison.
      Fofana is pushed down and he wipes out a steward and a photographer.
      One for the Soccer AM boys there.
      Chelsea 1-0 Leeds
      80. We into the last ten minutes in West London.
      Summerville runs at the Chelsea defence again with no one wanting to put a challenge in on him.

      78. It is a strange atmosphere at Stamford Bridge.

      70. Leeds are just lacking that final pass in attack.
      Their pace is getting them into good areas but the final pass is often too heavy, giving Chelsea the chance to cut it out.
      If they were to try and slot balls in behind Koulibaly they would get far more joy.
      Chelsea 1-0 Leeds
      68. Loftus-Cheek is penalised for a trip on Harrison.

      He shoots looking for the top corner but the shot drifts wide of the upright.
      Chelsea 1-0 Leeds
      62. Chelsea look two completely different teams in defence and attack.
      They cannot bank on holding onto a 1-0 scoreline as they always seem capable of self-destructing at the back.
      Leeds are starting to knock on the door a little more now.
      Chelsea 1-0 Leeds
      60. When Leeds’ players run at this Chelsea defence it looks like they will get some joy.

      Three more minutes of stoppage time to go
      44 Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth
      Another mistake from Arsenal allows a Bournemouth counter-attack with Solanke.
      Saliba gives the ball away with a careless clearance with his back against the play.
      The counter leads to nowhere as the striker’s pass to Ouattara goes wide.
      The Cherries are wasting major chances…
      43 Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth
      Arsenal have had 35 touches inside Bournemouth’s box and still no goal.
      The Cherries, on the other hand, only had three

      38 Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth

      Just 10 more minutes to go until half-time, and how much do Bournemouth need that clean sheet…

      34 Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth
      Penalty shout

      The ball definitely hits Mepham’s arm but it appears like it touches the top of his limb where the sleeve ends.
      VAR waives it away
      33 Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth
      Trossard’s injury adds to Arteta’s problems as the Belgian arrived to add strength in the attack after Jesus’ injury.
      However, the Brazilian star is not far from a return…
      30 Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth
      Bournemouth are defending very well, all of O’Neil’s men are well positioned to mark their opponents and block shots.
      Arsenal are still dangerous, especially down the wings with Zinchenko, Martinelli and Saka
      28 Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth
      Arsenal are absolutely dominating possession and tempo but can’t get that final ball through.
      Bournemouth are successfully frustrating the Gunners so far…
      25 Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth
      Bournemouth are just happy to sit back and wait for a good counter-attack, like they did with Billing before Ouattara’s miss.
      But the Cherries are not very active as we have seen attackers like Semenyo just clear the ball away from their own box
      23 Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth
      Chance!

      Smith Rowe comes on for the forward
      20 Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth
      What a chance!
      Bournemouth break away and come inches away from doubling their lead!
      Billing drives the ball down the left with Arsenal completely opened up and plays a pass through.
      Solanke doesn’t get there and Ouattara tries a shot from close distance but Ramsdale denies him with his right hand.
      Amazing save as the two Bournemouth forwards looked to have been mixed up on the ball
      18 Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth
      Here’s how the two teams look like today:
      Arsenal in their signature red, while Bournemouth don their black away jersey.
      Don’t think we’ve ever seen the two teams play against each other in their home kit as they are quite similar

      15 Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth
      Trossard has been absolutely lively in the first few minutes against a Bournemouth side that plays deep after Billing’s opener.
      The Belgium international plays as a No9 tonight but floats around the wings to help Saka and Martinelli
      13 Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth
      And another quick reminder:
      Bournemouth manager Gary O’Neil appears to have opted for a 5-4-1 formation with two changes to the team that lost 4-1 to Manchester City last week.
      Captain Neto starts in goal with Adam Smith at right-back and Jordan Zemura on the other side, while Chris Mepham, Jack Stephens and Marcos Senesi team up at centre-back.
      Joe Rothwell, who replaces Jefferson Lerma, and Philip Billing link up in midfield with Dango Ouattara on the right and Antoine Semenyo, who is on for Hamed Traore, on the other side.
      Dominic Solanke leads the line for the Cherries
      12 Arsenal 0-1 Bournemouth
      Just a quick reminder after Bournemouth’s quick goal:
      Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta appears to have opted for a 4-3-3 formation with three changes to the team that beat Everton 4-0 at home.
      Aaron Ramsdale starts in goal with Takehiro Tomiyasu coming on for Ben White at right-back and Oleksandr Zinchenko on the other side, while Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba link up at centre-back.
      Captain Martin Odegaard teams up with Thomas Partey and Fabio Vieira, who replace Jorginho and Granit Xhaka in midfield.
      Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard lead the line
