Tyson Fury explains why he wants to retire after Dillian Whyte fight

Tyson Fury wants to retire as an undefeated heavyweight champion after his clash with Dillian Whyte.

The 'Gypsy King' is set to defend his WBC heavyweight title against Whyte at Wembley Stadium on April 23.

Fury has frequently hinted at retirement since his trilogy victory over Deontay Wilder and now insists he will hang up his gloves this year.

After twice becoming heavyweight champion, Fury is ready to go out and get "f***** up" after his career ends.

"I haven't got a lot left in me but the old dog has still got a got a couple of big fights left in him," Fury told the Pat McAfee Show. "Think of all the hard work I won't have to do, I will drink alcohol and get f***** up.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst says it was "just about surviving" the second half as Rangers battled to a narrow win over St Johnstone to keep pace with Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic.

While Rangers ended a run of three straight draws - and four in the league away from home - defeat for St Johnstone means the Perth side fall nine points from relegation safety.

Aberdeen, beaten by Hearts, are now the side closest to Callum Davidson's team in the relegation play-off spot after Ross County's win at Motherwell.

Rangers looked determined to make amends for Sunday's relinquishing of a 2-0 lead to Motherwell as they dominated early possession to such an extent that they had the ball in the net before their hosts had managed to string any passes together.

Alfredo Morelos' clever flick from a Connor Goldson pass set Kamara through on goal with only Elliot Parish to beat and the Finland midfielder calmly side-footed past the goalkeeper.

That should have taken some of the pressure off the visitors after missing out on a chance to narrow the gap on Celtic on Sunday, but the slackness that allowed a Motherwell fightback gradually crept into Rangers' play as an increasingly wet and rutted pitch - and St Johnstone's willingness to battle for every loose ball - became a leveller.

The hosts had their moments. Allan McGregor's strong hand prevented a low drive from Jacob Butterfield curling inside the upright before the break, while fellow midfielder Ali Crawford just failed to react in time to pounce on a mix-up between the goalkeeper and Rangers captain James Tavernier.

However, any nervousness experienced by the hosts was down to the atrocious surface and their own inability to add to their lead.

A Morelos toe poke against a post and a Scott Arfield drive touched wide off Parish's fingertip being the closest they came and they will be relieved just to leave the rutted pitch without their title challenge being further damaged.

Southampton’s Armando Broja ensures FA Cup fifth-round win over West Ham

West Ham will have to make do with competing on just the two fronts for the remainder of this season after Southampton advanced to the FA Cup quarter-finals at their expense. A trip to Seville in the Europa League next week and their tilt for a top-four berth in the Premier League will no doubt soften the disappointment of defeat here but there will be a lingering frustration for David Moyes given how his side allowed a game in their grasp to get away.

Romain Perraud rocked West Ham with a phenomenal, rasping strike from outside the box – it was some way to open his account for the club – before the former Southampton loanee Michail Antonio levelled in the second half. But James Ward-Prowse restored the hosts’ advantage with a no-nonsense penalty before the substitute Armando Broja secured passage into the next round, wriggling clear of three defenders before slotting home into the far corner.

Moyes could not mask his mood afterwards. “We are lacking quality at the moment in the final third,” the West Ham manager said. “We’re pleased for Mich [Antonio] that he got a goal but we’ve got other players that need to find some quality and start making the right decisions in the final third. I don’t know how many times tonight we made the wrong choices in and around the box, and it cost us. Our finishing and final pass was so poor, so poor. It was disappointing.”

PM statement on the vote at the UN General Assembly: 2 March 2022

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said:

We are united in our abhorrence to the evil actions of Putin’s regime and stand side-by-side on the international stage as we deplore its aggression in the strongest possible terms.

Rarely has the contrast between right and wrong been so stark. 141 countries voted to condemn Putin’s war.

Along with my almost daily conversations with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, I have engaged world leaders in our joint mission to denounce Russia’s actions and make clear – for the sake of innocent civilians - Russia should withdraw from Ukraine and Putin must fail.

We are – and will continue to be - unified in our resounding admiration for the courage and bravery of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people.

'I still had pregnancy symptoms!' Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter reveals she had no idea she'd miscarried her quadruplets as her fiancé Ollie Piotrowski discusses feeling 'helpless'

She continued: 'So we were just shocked. And throughout the pregnancy it was not really enjoyable - my hormones were just...

'When you are pregnant you wanna tell some people, and you don't tell many people early on. I'm not sure why. But, I don't like to keep a secret. I like to tell everyone what's going on in my life.

'Having the hormones times four was just really stressful. I was in work with costumes. Within three or four weeks my body started to change dramatically and costumes wouldn't fit.

Tragic: Turning to her devastating miscarriage, Jorgie recalled: 'During our fifth or sixth scan, they said "you've had a miscarriage, they've gone." I was ready for girl gang'

No signs: Asked if there were signs she'd miscarried, Jorgie explained: 'No, it was a missed miscarriage, so my body was still being pregnant and doing the symptoms of pregnancy'

'Before we found out it was quadruplets I thought "this is insane what pregnant women go through".'

What is a missed miscarriage?

A missed miscarriage, also known as a missed abortion or a silent miscarriage, occurs when a foetus dies, but the body does not recognise the pregnancy loss or expel the pregnancy tissue.

As a result, the placenta may still continue to release hormones, so the woman may continue to experience signs of pregnancy.

It's usually diagnosed during a routine checkup, where the doctor will fail to detect a heartbeat. A subsequent ultrasound will show an underdeveloped foetus.

Turning to her devastating miscarriage, Jorgie recalled: 'We were going for scans regularly because we were being looked after.

'And it was during our fifth or sixth scan, they said "you've had a miscarriage, they've gone." I was ready for girl gang.

Asked if there were any signs she'd miscarried the Hollyoaks star explained: 'No, that was another thing. It was a missed miscarriage, so my body was still being pregnant and doing the symptoms of pregnancy'

'The next bit is really heartbreaking, the question of how they're gonna go. The hospital said... there are options where... how do we get rid of this?

'So we went through the route of surgery so I could be knocked out. I didn't wanna see and hear things...

'They've never really done this surgery before so they didn't know what the outcome could be. They said there could be a lot of blood loss.'

Ollie added: 'It was kind of just thrown on just that it was a miscarriage. As a man it was really helpless and scary.

Thankfully the couple have come out even stronger, with Georgie admitting: 'We do talk a lot. We are really good the fact that we communicate a lot.'

Ollie explained: 'I cried straight away, while you were really tough and strong. Then a few days later you had a meltdown and I had to be strong.

Neighbours will end after four decades as bid to find new home fails, say reports

A source told The Sun: “Fremantle have not commented on the situation since the news broke about Channel 5. They have been working tirelessly to secure funding from other networks but sadly they’ve been unable to save the soap.

“The announcement will confirm that the soap will end this summer and that they have been overwhelmed by the love and support from the audience since the news broke.”

Several petitions were launched in the wake of the news of the show being under threat last month and they have been signed by tens of thousands of people. Stars of the show - both current and past - spoke of their sadness at the news.

Focus will now turn to how big a send-off the show can get. There have been reports that Kylie Minogue - who played Charlene Robinson - and Jason Donovan - who portrayed her husband Scott - have been asked to make a return.

How West Brom’s hopes went south… Steve Bruce has had a dreadful start with the Baggies now in the bottom half of the Championship, but the damage was done when they went for Valerien Ismael over Chris Wilder

It was a remarkable show of faith in a coach whose record in English football was a single successful campaign at Oakwell.

Senior figures at the club were thought to have been alarmed by Wilder’s outspoken remarks during the final days of his five-year spell at Bramall Lane. They felt the 54-year-old could cause problems. But the only aspect of Wilder’s character that really mattered was his ability to inspire players.

After being overlooked by West Brom, Wilder succeeded Neil Warnock at Middlesbrough last November and has them two points outside the play-offs.

West Brom are eight points adrift of the play-offs following the 2-0 defeat by Swansea

Ismael made a bright start and by the turn of the year had the backing of owner Guochuan Lai, who sanctioned the £7.7million signing of striker Daryl Dike from Orlando FC — only for the 21-year-old to suffer a hamstring injury in his second game.

But once results turned, there was nothing left, and Ismael’s fate was sealed by the 2-0 defeat at Millwall on January 29.

The ultra-direct style of play did not sit well with much of the squad, with senior players Robert Snodgrass, Sam Johnstone and Jordan Hugill among those to have run-ins with the abrasive Frenchman.

Fans were turned off by dreary football and were voting with their feet.

West Brom have only scored one goal in seven games despite the arrival of Andy Carroll

Albion fans have also become frustrated at seeing academy staff move to local rivals Aston Villa.

Coach Mark Harrison and scout Steve Hopcroft were among those to make the four-mile journey along with 19-year-old midfielder Tim Iroegbunam, who was handed his Premier League debut as a substitute in Villa’s 2-0 win at Brighton last weekend.

The problem for Albion is that in Bruce’s month at the helm, form has deteriorated, with only a single goal to go with the one point earned.

Bruce has all but given up on the play-offs and his comments about his players after the recent defeat at Luton — ‘We have to do more, and in particular you have to have the ability to roll up your sleeves a bit more and show something’ — suggest a summer clear-out is on the cards.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez 'shot at daycare owner accused of molesting the wrestler's young relative': WWE star is charged with attempted murder

Court records and sources close to the case have described a chain of events that started last week after Velasquez’s unnamed relative reported being molested by a man at a home daycare in San Martin - 35 miles north of Velasquez's hometown, Salinas.

The child’s name and exact relationship to Velasquez remain confidential due to the child's status as a minor as well as as a sexual abuse victim.

The accused man, 43-year-old Harry Eugene Goularte, currently runs a daycare business with his mother while also living with her, according to a criminal complaint that charged Goularte with one felony count of a lewd and lascivious act with a child under the age of 14.

On Friday, Goularte was arraigned in front of a judge, who granted him release under supervision over objections from the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office.  

Three days later, at about 3:15 p.m. Monday, the San Jose Police announced the shooting near the intersection of Monterey Highway and Bailey Avenue before revealing Velasquez's arrest on Twitter today.

Velasquez allegedly opened fire at a car carrying Goularte, his stepfather and at least one other person

'Cain Velasquez was the suspect arrested yesterday in connection with this incident,' read the Tweet from San Jose police. 'He was booked into Santa Clara County main jail for attempted murder.'

'The motive and circumstances surrounding this incident are still under investigation at this time.'

Goularte's stepfather was hit at least once before being rushed to a local hospital with a non-life-threatening injury. He is expected to survive, according to police.

Tube strike: Which days walkouts and reduced services will hit London as TfL faces suspensions chaos

On Tuesday, people tried to get to work on buses or in taxis but huge queues formed, forcing many to give up and go home.

Road congestion around the capital was at its highest level of the year so far as some commuters attempted to drive through the capital.

During the morning's strikes some commuters said the capital was "becoming unliveable".

John Rayner, 28, a construction worker who was waiting for a bus in Paddington, west London, said: "I missed two buses this morning because queues for buses are so long and some buses don’t even bother to stop.

"I walked to Paddington for over an hour as I thought I would have more luck getting a Tube from here. It is a joke. This city is becoming unlivable."

Supersub Riedewald fires Crystal Palace past Stoke and into FA Cup last eight

Jaïro Riedewald was the unlikely supersub for Patrick Vieira after his goal eight minutes from time fired Crystal Palace to a hard-fought 2-1 win over Stoke and took them a step closer to Wembley.

Cheikhou Kouyaté had seen his early second-half effort for the home side cancelled out by Josh Tymon’s close-range finish to leave the FA Cup fifth-round tie finely poised.

Vieira, despite needing a winner, turned to Riedewald over two recognised strikers and saw the decision pay dividends with the former Ajax player scoring his first goal in 13 months in only his fifth appearance of the season to send Palace into the quarter-finals.

Vieira, who won the competition five times as a player, was not getting carried away, however. “It is a really exciting period and moment I would say but it is still one step before Wembley. We are pleased and happy to go to the next round but I was really disappointed with the way we played.

“We didn’t play well, we didn’t use the ball well enough or create enough chances and we didn’t defend well as a team. If we want to go further, we will have to play better.”

Palace had made five changes from the weekend Premier League draw with Burnley and Vieira went strong again but Eberechi Eze remained on the bench – even though he had started in the previous two rounds. Jordan Ayew was one of those brought into the starting XI and he embarked on a mazy run early on but it ended with Michael Olise’s scuffed shot hitting Jean-Philippe Mateta, who was offside.

Stoke had their first chance when Romaine Sawyers headed over Jordan Thompson’s cross after 21 minutes. The hosts started to up the ante after half an hour with Olise having a penalty appeal waved away after a coming together with Stoke’s Manchester City loanee Taylor Harwood-Bellis but it was not a sign of things to come, with Wilfried Zaha and Liam Moore clashing in the only other flashpoint of the half.

CITY MOVE THROUGH TO FA CUP QUARTER-FINAL STAGE WITH PETERBOROUGH WIN

Manchester City’s bid to win three major trophies continues unabated thanks to a 2-0 win over Peterborough in the FA Cup.

City quality told in the end, says Guardiola

MEN'S TEAM

In a hard-fought fifth-round tie at London Road, the Championship side kept City at bay in the first half, with our play often disjointed and lacking rhythm.

But Riyad Mahrez produced a moment of quality to fire past Steven Benda and break the deadlock with an hour gone, before Phil Foden’s outrageous long-range pass set up Jack Grealish to score a second seven minutes later.

Joao Cancelo, Foden and Grealish all had chances to extend our lead but Peterborough stood firm, before Ayemric Laporte miscued from close range in added time.

With City top of the Premier League table and still in the UEFA Champions League, we retain an interest in three competitions with three months of the season remaining.

A fascinating end to the campaign beckons.

Middlesbrough 'buzzing' with FA Cup upset of 'typical Tottenham'

Middlesbrough continued their stunning FA Cup run amid dramatic scenes at the Riverside Stadium on Tuesday, with Alan Shearer saying Tottenham's defeat in the fifth round was "typical" of the north London club.

Teenage substitute Josh Coburn scored the winner in extra time for the Championship side, securing a 1-0 victory which sent the home fans wild.

"In front of the Riverside Stadium, it cannot get better than that against a Premier League team," the 19-year-old told BBC Sport.

"I hit it as hard as I could and thankfully it went in. Just amazing. I can't put it into words.

"All the lads are buzzing. The fans are getting behind the players too. Hopefully we can continue it and get another big team in the next round."

Former Boro defender and manager Jonathan Woodgate praised the youngster, who joined the club three years ago after being released by Sunderland.

"It is a special moment for Josh," he said. "Every single player was fantastic and they deserved to win."

Ukraine parades captured Russian soldiers in online videos as Moscow finally starts to admit suffering losses and pictures show bodies of Kremlin fighters

Several of the videos were posted on a Telegram channel set up on Saturday by Ukraine's Interior Ministry called 'Find Your Own'.

Many Russian troops claimed that they believed they were conducting training exercises in the border regions and did not know they were being sent to invade Ukraine.

Meanwhile Russia's defence ministry has for the first time acknowledged suffering losses in the conflict after several bodies of the Kremlin's servicemen emerged.

Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov gave no figures on Russia's dead and wounded but said Sunday his country's losses were 'many times' lower than Ukraine's.

Meanwhile Ukraine's defence ministry put the total number of Russian casualties at 5,300, though that number could not be independently verified and the number of casualties from Europe's largest land conflict since World War II remained unclear amid the confusion.

‘Euphoria’s’ Javon Walton Shares Last-Minute Changes to Season 2 Finale: ‘Ashtray Wasn’t Supposed to [SPOILER]’

Played by 15-year-old Javon Walton, Ashtray is simultaneously the cutest and the scariest thing about “Euphoria.” The unofficially adopted brother of Fezco (Angus Cloud) is a whiz kid when it comes to selling drugs, converting black market cryptocurrency and predicting the moves of the shady figures that haunt his suburb. No character in “Euphoria” goes an episode without incurring new trauma, but Ashtray is more hardened than even Fez and Rue (Zendaya), because he was the earliest to be robbed of a childhood. After a mix of drugs, abandonment and violence forced an elementary school-aged Fez into the position of raising baby Ash by himself, Ash grew up with a deep well of anger and a fearlessness of violence. Twice in the show’s second season, that manifests in his split-second decisions to brutally kill people. When Ash stabs Custer (Tyler Chase) in the neck for working with the police to take him and Fez down, Fez begs his little brother to let him handle it, determined to take the fall himself. But Ash refuses to surrender, and ends up in a shootout with a SWAT team. He inevitably loses. We hear the thud of his body hitting the floor. (Though it may be important to note that we never see it.)
