Sports Minister Kofi Adams has begun consultations with the newly formed Boxing Normalisation Committee as government steps up efforts to reform the sport. The preliminary meeting, held on September 26 at the Ministry’s conference room and chaired by NSA Director-General Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, comes ahead of the committee’s official inauguration on September 29. The body was established following the death of Nigerian boxer Gabriel Oluwasegun Olanrewaju, who collapsed during a bout at the Bukom Boxing Arena in March. An independent inquiry chaired by Rtd. Amarkai Amarteifio later produced a 100-page report recommending sweeping reforms. Addressing members, Mr. Adams commended their…

They went to Brentford in search of their first back-to-back league wins under Ruben Amorim, which tells you all you need to know about the team’s progress after 33 games in the competition for the head coach. He described the game as the club’s “most important in a long time” but his players failed to translate that urgency onto the pitch as they suffered a deflating 3-1 defeat. Victory over 10-man Chelsea last week failed to inspire the consistency that will ultimately keep Amorim in a job and they have sunk back into the bottom half of the table. So…
His side started positively, going into the break with a 1-0 lead following Enzo Fernandez’s header at the back post, following a deflected cross from Reece James. However, the momentum of the game would change early on in the second half, when Trevoh Chalobah was sent off by referee Simon Hooper after a challenge on Diego Gomez. Danny Welbeck’s leveller was followed up by a stoppage-time goal from Maxim De Cuyper who headed his side in front, before Welbeck made sure in the 100th minute with his second of the game. Welbeck has now contributed to seven goals for Brighton…
A laboured first half saw City go into the break on level terms, as Burnley defender Maxime Esteve turned into his own net 12 minutes in, off a parried shot from Jeremy Doku, before Jaidon Anthony restored parity minutes before the interval. The hosts turned up the heat in the second half, though, as Matheus Nunes smashed home a close-range volley on the hour mark before forcing Esteve into a second own goal to put the result to bed. Erling Haaland then feasted on a tired Burnley defence, netting twice inside the final three minutes of stoppage time to seal…

The 20-year-old has enjoyed a superb year since making his senior debut in the 2024 Community Shield game at Wembley, with his new deal just reward for his consistent performances in Pep Guardiola’s first team.

Former Manchester United striker Danny Webber has backed Benjamin Sesko to come good at Old Trafford, despite the Slovenian’s slow start to life in the Premier League Former Manchester United striker Danny Webber has thrown his support behind Benjamin Sesko after the Slovenian’s sluggish beginning at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils pipped Champions League outfit Newcastle United to Sesko’s signature, whilst Arsenal had also shown interest in the forward before choosing to snap up Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting instead. Sesko has struggled…
Relegated to the role of substitute, disappointing at Marseille and not called up to the French national team, Warren Zaïre-Emery is going through a rough patch. Having fallen behind the trio of Joao Neves, Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz in recent months, the young PSG midfielder is aiming to make a bigger impact to restore his status. For both the player and the club, it is ‘just’ the story of one match. No one stood out, and Warren Zaïre-Emery was no exception to PSG’s overall mediocrity on Monday in Marseille (0-1), on a night when Joao Neves’ absence (thigh injury) gave…
