Jack Grealish wants his image from City celebration to be hung in the Louvre
Manchester City footballer Jack Grealish has called for an image of himself taken as he celebrated to club’s victory to be hung in a museum. Last night (12 June) football club Manchester City celebrated winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League with an open-top bus parade through the city centre. Despite torrential rain, it seems the spirits of both the City players and fans couldn’t be dampened as they celebrated winning the treble – the second time an English side has done it since Manchester United succeeded first in the 1998–99 season. In one image from the parade, Grealish was captured on top of the bus with his shirt off, his eyes closed and his arms outstretched in the rain. On his Twitter, Grealish shared the post along with the request for it to be hung in the Louvre, poking fun at his teammate Erling Haaland’s impression of John Stones’ Yorkshire accent. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter In the comments, it wasn’t only Manchester City fans who appreciated the “iconic” image. One person argued: “No matter your feelings about Man City, there is no denying that this is instantly one of the coldest football photos of the modern era.” “I'm not a City fan but you have to respect the level of this tweet,” another said. The parade rounded off days of celebration after Manchester City won the last trophy on Saturday (10 June), beating Inter Milan 1-0 in the Champions League final. Following their victory, Grealish was still up partying at 6 am the next morning while dressed in his football kit. Have your say in our news democracy.

Dmitry Bivol hits out at ‘unfair’ WBC ban on Russian boxers
Dmitry Bivol has labelled the World Boxing Council’s ban on Russian boxers ‘unfair’, as he looks ahead to his next fight. The Kyrgyzstani-born Russian holds the WBA light-heavyweight title and has been linked with a bout against Artur Beterbiev, who holds the WBC, WBO and IBF belts. Russian-born Beterbiev represented his country of birth until last year, when he opted to represent Canada – where he has lived for 16 years – amid sporting sanctions relating to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Among those sanctions was a decision by the World Boxing Council (WBC) not to recognise Russian and Belarusian fighters, including champions. That decision also precludes Bivol, 32, from fighting Beterbiev, 38, in a unification bout at light-heavyweight, despite strong demand from fans. “Of course it’s not fair,” Bivol told Seconds Out on Monday (12 June). “How could [someone] say, ‘I am the champion of the world,’ if somebody from some country couldn’t fight for your belt? But this guy could be better than you. “It’s not fair. And this guy is just training, spending his time in the gym, and he’s not allowed to fight. He’s the same [as] you, he’s just living in a different apartment in a different place, but he’s working the same [as] you. “He’s training, he’s fighting, his mentality is similar, but why is he not allowed to fight? It’s not fair.” Bivol last fought in November, comprehensively outpointing Gilberto Ramirez to retain the WBA light-heavyweight title, which he also retained in his previous fight, against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in May 2022. Meanwhile, Beterbiev most recently fought in January, stopping Anthony Yarde in the eighth round. He is next due to box in August, defending his titles against another Briton, Callum Smith.
