Join DAZN and watch Andrade vs. Sulecki on June 29 Any combination of the aforementioned names in a ring together this year is what boxing supposedly needed, but instead, each fighter, guided by their respective promoters, all scattered off in different directions seemingly avoiding addressing the issue regarding who is the planet’s finest heavyweight. Wilder opted for Dominic Breazeale, his WBC mandatory, Joshua selected Jarrell Miller before a series of drug test mishaps made him plump for Andy Ruiz Jr, and for Fury it was Tom Schwarz, a boxer only aficionados of the sport have any real knowledge of....

National Health Service (NHS) leaders have warned that frontline services will come under even more intense strain in the next few weeks as the pressures of treating COVID patients during the height of winter will be compounded by the numbers of NHS staff who are themselves off work because of the virus. As fears of a third national coronavirus lockdown in England continue to grow, The Guardian reports that hospitals had to tell ambulance crews to divert patients elsewhere 44 times last week – the highest number for four years....

IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi traveled to meet the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) this week but reported no breakthrough in restoring the agency’s ability to monitor Iran’s nuclear program. The IAEA had a confidential agreement in which it could monitor Iran’s nuclear facilities with surveillance cameras, the AP reported. However, the agency has been unable to access imagery from the cameras since February. This is due to a December 2020 bill, passed by the Iranian parliament, promising to suspend U....

The student loan forgiveness announced on Thursday came in response to a class action lawsuit, Sweet v. Cardona, that previously included student loan borrowers from at least 100 different colleges, Forbes reported. Earlier this year, Biden’s Department of Education announced that it was canceling student loans for 40,000 borrowers....

Moscow has air superiority over the Ukrainian air force’s assortment of Soviet-era aircraft like MiG-29s and other Cold War-era planes. But the U.S. Air Force chief of staff, General Charles Q. Brown Jr., acknowledged that the U.S. and its allies were considering providing Ukraine with new planes. Such a move would step up Western involvement in the war and mark a departure from when the Biden administration ruled out a deal in which Poland’s MiG fighters were to be given to Ukraine in exchange for U....

The Hawaii-based U.S. Indo-Pacific Command published footage last Thursday showing a Chinese navy J-11 warplane intercepting a U.S. Air Force RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft, which was “lawfully conducting routine operations” on December 21 in international airspace. “The [People’s Liberation Army Navy] pilot flew an unsafe maneuver by flying in front of and within 20 feet of the nose of the RC-135, forcing the RC-135 to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision,” the statement said....

The Old Trafford outfit remain outside the top four places, having lost three out of eight Premier League games this season. The club’s woes have also been compounded by a dressing room meltdown which has seen some players fall out with the manager. The most visible was Mourinho’s training ground bust-up with Pogba, leading to the Portuguese stripping the Frenchman off the vice-captaincy. But reports suggest that nine other first-team players are ready to follow the France midfielder out of Old Trafford should Mourinho stay on as manager....

The footage superimposed Trump’s head on the body of San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who scored a spectacular touchdown on Sunday, leaping over Philadelphia Eagles safety Marcus Epps to cap a 38-yard run in the 49ers’ 25-20 home loss. In the video, which was posted by Team Trump, the official Twitter account for the Trump campaign, an illustration from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention displaying COVID-19’s structure was superimposed on Epps, seemingly implying Trump had hurdled over coronavirus as easily as Aiyuk and jumped over Epps on his way to score....

The champions were without injured talisman Lionel Messi and Luis Enrique left captain Andres Iniesta and experienced centre-back Javier Mascherano out of his starting lineup. His decisions soon backfired as Barca were blitzed by an intense Celta side, who raced into a 3-0 halftime lead. Barca reasserted themselves in the second half when a header from Gerard Pique and Neymar penalty reduced the deficit to one goal before they were floored again by a catastrophic mistake by keeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen....

Belgium finished in third place at the FIFA World Cup last July and for Courtois, the summer was capped off by his FIFA The Best Goalkeeper award win and his dream move to Real Madrid. Since moving to the Santiago Bernabeu, the shot-stopper has failed to justify his presence in the team and appears to have gone down the pecking order under a re-appointed Zinedine Zidane. Courtois conceded thirty goals in twenty-four appearances for the European champions and has only managed to keep eight clean sheets....
