Tyson Fury and former UFC champion Francis Ngannou will meet in the boxing ring tonight, in one of the most controversial fights in recent memory. Fury, 35, reigns as WBC heavyweight champion but has not fought or defended his title since December, when he beat Derek Chisora for the third time to stay unbeaten. The Briton is due to finally face unified champion Oleksandr Usyk next, but he must first navigate this unique match-up with Ngannou. • Fury vs Ngannou tips: Betting preview with predictions and best boxing odds Ngannou, 37, vacated the UFC heavyweight title upon leaving the mixed martial arts promotion in January and has not fought since January 2022, but he is deemed the hardest puncher in combat-sports history – potentially giving him a shot at a seismic upset in Saudi Arabia. Can the Cameroonian, with heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson in his corner, shock the world? Or will Fury produce a boxing clinic and coast towards his planned clash with Usyk, which is set to take place in Riyadh like tonight’s main event?

Jude Bellingham admitted he had done something great after almost single-handedly winning his first El Clasico for Real Madrid. The England midfielder scored a stunning equaliser and dramatic stoppage-time clincher as Real came from behind to beat arch-rivals Barcelona 2-1 at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium on Saturday. It continued Bellingham’s extraordinary start as a Real Madrid player, with the 20-year-old having now scored 13 goals in as many appearances for Los Blancos. Bellingham told the club’s website: “I had watched many Clasicos from the sofa with my family and I told them that today it was my turn to live it first-hand and do something great. I’ve done that and I’m very happy.” Real trailed at half-time to an early Ilkay Gundogan strike and Bellingham conceded he had not been at his best. Such is his confidence, however, that he only had one thing on his mind when a shooting opportunity opened up 25 yards out with 68 minutes gone. He duly lashed home a fine equaliser and he was not done there, volleying in from close range in the dying moments. He said: “I wasn’t at my best. Sometimes it’s not about trying to do something special every time you have the ball, but to combine with those up top. “I fulfilled that task well but as soon as I got the ball there I knew I was going to score. “I got the ball on the edge of the box. I’ve been saying for a few weeks that I need to try from outside. “Maybe the opponents expect me to try to get into the box or combine with a team-mate and I wanted to surprise them by hitting it from outside the box. “I know I have the technique and it went into the top corner.” Real coach Carlo Ancelotti, whose side moved back to the top of LaLiga with the win, has been stunned by the impact Bellingham has had. He said: “We’re all surprised at the level he’s at, especially in terms of how effective he’s been. He could easily score 20 or 25 goals. “He looks like a veteran. His attitude is very good. He’s the player who has made the biggest difference.” Read More Wolves dig deep to earn dramatic draw with Newcastle Vincent Kompany incensed by decision not to review handball in Bournemouth loss Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta: What Eddie Nketiah has done is remarkable England were ‘desperate to win’ after Tonga provocation – Shaun Wane Exeter run riot against sloppy Sale Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola claims maiden Premier League win over Burnley

The Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou live stream on TNT Sports Box Office has left fans fuming after being subjected to a screeching noise. The event, named ‘Battle of the Baddest’, has divided opinion, with the current WBC world heavyweight champion boxer taking on the former UFC heavyweight champion mixed martial artist in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. TNT Sports Box Office charged UK fans £21.95 to watch the fight, but the stream online and on the app was unavailable until just after 7pm BST. Worse still, many of those tuning in before encountered a piercing sound, leaving fight fans angry and unable to watch some of the undercard, including Martin Bakole’s knockout of Carlos Takam in another heavyweight encounter. FOLLOW LIVE: Fury vs Ngannou: Latest boxing fight updates and results tonight After encountering early issues with the footage, the broadcast was swiftly pulled and changed to just the TNT Sports logo and the following statement: "We apologise for the break in transmission and hope to correct the fault shortly.” One fan reacted on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Right this ain’t a joke any more lads what the f**** going on here, my ears are bleeding.” While another added: “Shout out to TNT Sports for murdering my eardrums.” TNT Sports presenter Laura Woods would later apologise when footage returned, stating: “A big apology to those who lost pictures, we had some technical issues, I know that must have been frustrating. “We think we know what it was about, so it won't happen again.” But even after the broadcast returned just before the undercard fight between Moses Itauma and Istvan Bernath, more issues emerged. As Itauma made his way to the ring, the sound disappeared for over a minute and footage flickered in and out, with many encountering static noise.

Mikel Arteta hailed “top-level” Eddie Nketiah after the England striker hit a first Premier League hat-trick in a convincing 5-0 win over bottom club Sheffield United. Nketiah scored the first three goals as the Gunners ran out comfortable victors, with Fabio Vieira’s penalty and Takehiro Tomiyasu’s first goal for the club completing the rout. The victory took Arsenal up to second place, two points behind leaders and north London rivals Tottenham as Arteta’s men remain unbeaten after 10 league games. With Gabriel Jesus facing a few weeks out with a hamstring issue, Nketiah has once again been tasked with filling his boots at centre-forward. His touch and finish for the opening goal proved he can do the job as the England international set the Gunners on their way to a victory over the rock bottom Blades. He doubled the lead after half-time and rifled home a memorable third – before ending the game with the captain’s armband. “For me, he’s top-level,” Arteta said after the win. “He has started eight out of the 10 Premier League games. So that tells you how much we trust him, how much I trust him and and the importance that he has in the team. “I’m really happy for him, an academy player to experience in the Premier League a hat-trick. He needs to enjoy the moment. He fully deserves it and hopefully there are many more to come. “He’s got an eye for goal. You look at the stats from his last 10 years. What he’s done is remarkable and he needs minutes, opportunities and service and if he gets that, Eddie is going to score goals, that’s for sure.” Arsenal are yet to suffer a league defeat this season but Arteta revealed he gave his players an “alert” in training this week after some tough fixtures either side of the October international break. “They took the game in a really serious way because I gave them on Thursday a big alert because of the context and the difference in the game that we have to play today with the previous Man City,Chelsea and Sevilla games and I’m really happy how they approached it. “Obviously they come from the national team, so we beat City, we come from national team, we have to go to Stamford Bridge and we did what we did in Stamford Bridge. “Then you have to go to Seville and that’s a really really stressful week with what they were experiencing in the last few weeks as well.” Sheffield United remain bottom and with just one point from their opening nine games. Paul Heckingbottom’s side are also struggling with injuries – but he was not ready to use that as an excuse for a bad day at the office. “Arsenal had a lot of the ball first half but Wes (Foderingham) had one save to make,” he said. “Second half, the goals were really poor that we conceded and probably a reflection of how I thought the game was – they outfought us as well as outplayed us in the first half and that is what good teams can do. “We are down to the bare bones and missing some big personalities and physicality.” Read More England were ‘desperate to win’ after Tonga provocation – Shaun Wane Exeter run riot against sloppy Sale Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola claims maiden Premier League win over Burnley Matty Ashton at the double as England seal series win over Tonga Everton financial reports just another thing to deal with – Sean Dyche Steve Borthwick’s plans for England’s Six Nations campaign well under way
