Filip Hrgovic poses with the title belt after winning the IBF world heavyweight bout against Moses Itauma in London. (Reuters) Croatian Filip Hrgovic pulled off a stunning comeback to beat British prodigy Moses Itauma by technical knockout to claim the vacant IBF world heavyweight title in thrilling fashion at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday.Outpointed over the first eight rounds, the 34-year-old Croatian turned the tide in the ninth, taking advantage of his young opponent’s exhaustion to force the stoppage in the ninth round to become Croatia’s first heavyweight world champion.Itauma came into Saturday’s bout with 12 knockouts in 14 professional fights unbeaten, and it looked like he was about to add a 13th as he pounded his opponent with powerful punches to the head and body. Attempting to become the second-youngest heavyweight champion of the world behind Mike Tyson, the 21-year-old’s fast hands connected repeatedly with Hrgovic’s head, but the Croatian displayed tremendous resilience, despite being on the receiving end of a standing eight count early in the fight.Itauma landed a stunning uppercut as the bell sounded to end the fifth round, but Hrgovic managed to recover, and he played with fire again at the end of the sixth as Itauma pounded him late in the frame. Worn out from his efforts, Itauma slowed as the fight wore on and Hrgovic pounced in the ninth, forcing the young Briton back onto the ropes and overwhelming him with shots, forcing the referee to call off the fight as the towel came in from Itauma’s corner.”He’s an amazing fighter, I want to thank him for accepting this fight, to give me a chance to become a new star in the heavyweight division. I am the present, and he is definitely the future,” Hrgovic said. “He’s an amazing fighter, he’s one of a kind, he’s the best I’ve been in the ring with, but he needs more experience. He gassed out … I knew that I have that pace in my favour.”Hrgovic said hewants a unification fight against WBC champion Agit Kabayel, who stepped into the ring to congratulate the new champion, but promoter Frank Warren quickly killed that idea, saying that he must fight Frank Sanchez next.

Suryakumar Yadav led India to their third T20 World Cup title. (Reuters) Former India captain Suryakumar Yadav said he was disappointed at being dropped from the national T20 side months after leading India to a successful defence of their men’s T20 World Cup title. The 35-year-old took charge in 2024, guiding India to 42 wins in 50 completed T20 internationals and helping them become the first team to retain the men’s T20 World Cup crown. The final victory over New Zealand in March was his last T20 appearance for India and he was replaced as captain by Shreyas Iyer. “The guy they’ve picked, I have played a lot of cricket with him. I know he’s a good player, good human being, good captain also,” Suryakumar said on Aakash Chopra’s YouTube show. “So, I didn’t resent the decision but was disappointed because we didn’t lose a series for two years, won Asia Cup, T20 World Cup – you want the same thing to go forward. When everything is going well, then why the change?” India lost their first T20 series to Ireland in June and were thrashed 4-0 by England under Iyer, with a 3-0 victory over Zimbabwe their lone series win since lifting the World Cup. Suryakumar scored only 242 runs in nine World Cup matches at an average of 30.25 after struggling in the lead-up to the tournament. He managed only 270 runs for Mumbai Indians in this year’s Indian Premier League. “For one-and-a-half months I kept thinking, how can this happen? How is it possible? We just won the World Cup. Yes, IPL wasn’t as good as how I wanted,” he said. India are due to play three one-day internationals and five T20 matches against West Indies from September 27, with the squad yet to be announced.

Marc Marquez claimed a dominant victory at the Aragon MotoGP on Sunday, with Pedro Acosta finishing second and Marco Bezzecchi third. Seven-time MotoGP champion Marquez has a strong record at the MotorLand circuit and climbed to second in the overall standings behind Jorge Martin, who came fifth. Marquez trails his compatriot by just 19 points, knocking Italian Bezzecchi down to third, 24 points behind Martin. It was Marquez’s fourth win of the season, all of those coming within the last six races as he reignited his title bid in spectacular fashion, and a sixth victory from six races for Ducati in Aragon between sprints and Grands Prix. “Once I got the lead I put my foot down and turned up the pressure and opened the gap so that there would be no doubt about victory,” said Marquez, who finished 1.754 seconds clear of the field. Aprilia riders Bezzecchi and Martin started well and took a 1-2 but Marquez quickly repassed Martin to move into second. Bezzecchi built a lead of eight-tenths ahead but Marquez snatched the lead on lap six at Turn 15, the pair brushing wheels out of the corner, allowing Pedro Acosta in to snatch second. “I heard Marc Marquez’s engine when we were side by side on the straight, but with his experience and the extra power of his bike he was able to get the better of me,” said Bezzecchi. “It is a shame I lost second straight away to Pedro. I would have preferred to fight harder for runner-up but I am still very happy.” Francesco Bagnaia and Franco Morbidelli both crashed out, while Raul Fernandez retired to the garage. Marquez extended his advantage to more than a second on lap 14 and continued to pull away from Acosta, stretching it to 1.4sec by lap 16 and finishing nearly 1.8sec ahead. Marc’s brother Alex Marquez came in fourth, ahead of Martin, Fermin Aldeguer and Fabio Di Giannantonio, who is fourth overall. Injured Japanese rider Ai Ogura did not compete and dropped to fifth in the standings. Source link

A tearful Roger Federer was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame on Saturday, describing his formal entrance into the sport’s pantheon as one of the “greatest honors of my life.” The 45-year-old 20-time Grand Slam singles champion was frequently overcome with emotion as he addressed a crowd bristling with tennis royalty at a ceremony in Newport, Rhode Island.The Swiss legend, who retired from tennis in 2022, paid tribute to the opponents, officials, fans, family and friends who had shared his career during a lengthy address that unfolded as a love letter to the sport. “This is one of the greatest honors of my life,” Federer said. “They call this the Hall of Fame, but fame was never the goal.”My goal was to spend my life doing something I love… with people who I love it as much as I do.” In a light-hearted preamble, the eight-time Wimbledon champion totted up his career in some of his lesser-known statistical milestones. Not the obvious stats like the number of majors or number of weeks at number one,” Federer said. “I’m talking about the numbers that really paint a picture. Between 1998 and when I first went on the ATP tour, and when I retired in 2022, I wore more than 5,000 headbands. That’s more than (Bjorn) Borg and (John) McEnroe combined. “And if you think that’s impressive, I wore probably over 7000 pairs of socks. That’s probably twice as many as most of my opponents, because I doubled them up. But really, there’s no way to measure what it means to be here. It’s hard to put it into words,” Federer said, reflecting on his journey from being a 13-year-old ballboy at an ATP tournament in Basel to the pinnacle of tennis.”I really want to thank every ball kid who ever stood through my matches or all our matches, for that matter, for hours on end,” Federer said. “I see you. I thank you. I was you.” Federer had to wipe away tears as he name-checked his idol Stefan Edberg, other tennis stars, family and support staff who had inspired him throughout his career. “I need tissues and sunglasses and everything to protect me right now,” he joked. “This is such a mess.””It’s been an incredible journey,” Federer said. “For me, the International Tennis Hall of Fame provides a great opportunity to look back, but also to look ahead,” he added. “As you can tell, I’m still writing my love letter to tennis. My time as a player is done, but tennis will always stand at the intersection of everything I care most about: my family, our friendships, the past 40 years, the future we’re building. Tennis for me is responsible for it all.” Related Story Source link
Rescuers in Nepal and China yesterday battled to locate thousands of people missing days after a deadly, tsunami-like wall of water and debris swept through the Himalayan region, engulfing entire villages. Figures from both countries put the number of missing close to 3,000, with 682 bodies recovered — and reports of some dead possibly swept downstream as far away as India. In a breakthrough late yesterday, the Nepali army was able to insert a pipe into a tunnel at the Trishuli 3A hydroelectric site where workers are believed to be trapped. “We have already started sending air through the small opening, and we will now begin excavation work and send the rescue team inside,” Home Minister Sudan Gurung said in a statement.More than 100 workers may still be alive and trapped inside such tunnels, with rescue efforts focused on the Trishuli 3A and 3B sites. Rescue worker Kawan Koirala, from the Nepal Scout Disaster Response Team, said they were struggling in thick, leg-sucking mud. “People want their family member’s body back, either dead or alive, but we cannot find them… you can see the mud,” he told AFP, exhausted after an 18-hour shift. “It is very traumatic for me too. It is my first time seeing these types of things. Everywhere is mud. We faced flood in Nepal before, but not like this.” Survivors face an agonising wait to learn the fate of missing relatives, and the prospect of rebuilding their lives from nothing. “All the settlements near the river were swept away,” Buddhi Ram Dangol told AFP in Nepal’s Nuwakot district. “There is nothing left.” At Bidur’s army base, a key rescue hub in the same district, relatives crowded around lists of rescued people pasted on a wall. “I have come here looking for my son,” said Kalka Sharda, scanning the list in desperation. “He was a labourer at the hydropower plant, but I can’t find his name, and the authorities are not saying anything.” In an area home to vast energy infrastructure projects, Nepal’s disaster authority listed 933 hydropower workers among the missing, along with 517 foreigners, including trekkers and Hindu pilgrims to Tibet’s sacred Mount Kailash. “The urgency is on rescue and saving lives as much as we can,” he said, appealing for specialised assistance, including heavy-lift drones and technology to help locate people who are trapped.He also called for forensic testing kits to identify bodies and freezer units to store them, saying bodies that have been in water could decompose at a faster rate. “Our own healthcare capacity is very limited to put these bodies in a frozen state for a long time,” he said. Emergency teams worked flat-out to find survivors as widespread devastation left communities short of food and water.Fears of further flooding have compounded the search for the missing. The deluge of ice and mud caused huge lakes, and one of these formations has become a risk of further floods. In Tibet, where Chinese authorities are the only source of information, Beijing had paused its rescue operation at the hardest-hit area of Gyirong over the risk of renewed flooding.On the Nepali side, soldiers were trying desperately to drill through to 100 people trapped in tunnels at multiple hydropower projects yesterday. The prime minister’s office said teams had begun “clearing mud and debris” to open the entrance, while a specialised Indian tunnel rescue unit had arrived to help, with a Chinese team on its way. Nepal’s expert mountain rescue teams — used to aiding climbers on the world’s highest peaks, including Everest — are also joining the search. “We do similar work on the mountains, with rescue operations for people trapped in risky places so I believe our skills will be useful,” Tul Singh Gurung, president of Nepal National Mountain Guide Association, told AFP. Workers rescued from other dam projects along the Trishuli valley described a disaster that unfolded with terrifying speed.Nepal reported a death toll of 675 people yesterday. There are 2,426 people, including hundreds of foreigners, who are out of contact in the country.Hope was fading for some still waiting desperately for news. Kalka Sharda, in Bidur, was searching lists of rescued for his 18-year-old son Vinod Sharda, a hydropower plant labourer. “I don’t think there is any hope left,” he said. “Because, if he was alive, he would have found a way to get in touch.” Related Story Source link
