LAURA MUIR took a £1,500 cab ride to her first global medal at the World Indoor Championsh­ips.

Women’s pentathlon: Katarina Johnson-Thompson has her eyes on gold in the fivediscip­line pentathlon, starting at 10.18am with the hurdles and finishing with the 800m.

Women’s 60m Final: European champion Asha Philip is bullish about her medal chances here, having been part of last summer’s world silver medal-winning British sprint relay quartet. DEONTAY WILDER claims he is the most dangerous man in heavyweigh­t boxing.

The WBC champion faces Luis Ortiz tomorrow, but is desperate to prove himself against Anthony Joshua.

Wilder, 32, has held his title since 2015 and won all 39 of his pro fights.

Joshua holds three of the heavyweigh­t belts and fights WBO champion Joseph Park later this month. He claims fellow Brit Tyson Fury is the biggest threat to his titles.

But Wilder said: “Everyone knows Tyson Fury isn’t the biggest threat in the heavyweigh­t division. Everyone knows who is the man in the heavyweigh­t division, hands down.

“I can do anything I want. I am the most dangerous man in the division. I can’t wait to prove it.”
