Tyson Fury

How a flabby man even gets into the ring with a hard-hitting monster like Deontay Wilder is pretty brave. For said tubby boxer to then beat him is quite remarkable. Yes I know the official result was a draw a which will conveniently lead to a money-spinning rematch, but make no mistake Fury was by far the superior boxer. Lionel Messi will be remembered for great moments of individual brilliance. Cristiano Ronaldo will be remembered for great goals with either foot and his head.

But Neymar (above) will be remembered for his extreme play-acting and blatant cheating, which is a shame as he’s not far behind the other two in terms of pure ability.

Watching this all-star Paris Saint-Germain side should be a joy. They are capable of delivering thrilling football, but their antics in last week’s Champions League game against an outmatched Liverpool side left an awful taste in my mouth. PSG saw weakness in a terrible referee and pounced on it. They’d probably have won 4-1 if they’d concentrated on football rather than theatrics. Sad to see.

SAINTS DO US A FAVOUR

Selling-club Southampton have done all us football fans a huge favour by dumping serial whinger Mark Hughes. Hughes (above) deserved to go for failing to beat a hopeless Manchester United side last weekend.

A DECENT REFEREE EMERGES

Maybe there is hope for English referees after all. I was one to raise an eyebrow when relative rookie Chris Kavanagh was handed the Liverpool derby, but he delivered an outstanding display apart from failing to show Jurgen Klopp a red card.

ARCHER WILL BE A BAD PICK

Fast bowler Jofra Archer has represented West Indies at under 19 level. That alone should bar him from an England cap which appears to be on its way.
