Search outside the inner circles of both teams representing Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker at the end of 2022, and you may struggle to locate anyone who thought these two men would be vying for boxing’s greatest prize later this month. 

<a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/joe-joyce-vs-joseph-parker-live-updates-results-highlights/1oivcu26nvf54146mgdjzjsat6">The seemingly broken and worn body of Parker was heaped in the corner of the ring more than two years ago after he had been brutalised by Joe Joyce in a terrific encounter</a>. 

Parker had withstood the many assaults of Anthony Joshua, Dillian Whyte, and Andy Ruiz before taking on Joyce, and although relatively young when assessing heavyweights, the likeable New Zealander was into the eleventh year of a gruelling career. 

Three months after that Joyce masterclass, Dubois, a victim of Joyce during the empty venue days of the COVID-19 Pandemic, was up against Kevin Lerena as he continued to push forward despite the loss to Joyce hanging over him like a threatening raincloud.

</ul>

<a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/daniel-dubois-suggests-injury-caused-knockdowns-against-kevin-lerena/1jcvb2y8lf49011vqtpzomqet7">Dubois had been favoured to deal with Lerena comfortably, but the first round saw him hit the canvas three times. His time as a genuine contender appeared to be running out.</a>

The London heavyweight would rally and secure victory later in the fight. But just like against Joyce two years earlier, question marks remained over Dubois’ durability. 

<img alt="dubois-20240921-ftr" perform:prop="uuid:1ig0qijoh8ed31ewvc7rte2myt;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/1d/f1/dubois-20240921-ftr_jf1is9l3fzmy1r38im5mhk32g.jpg?t=378253122" />

Redemption is never too far away for a stricken heavyweight. In a division where one punch can either ruin dreams or make them, the chance is often provided to correct wrongs from previous fights leaving it up to the boxer to grab such an opportunity. 

Both Dubois and Parker have collected theirs. 

“I always genuinely felt that Daniel would win a world title,” said Warren when speaking exclusively to <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news"> DAZN News</a>. 

“I always had faith in him, there was a lot of terrible stuff out there that people were saying about him, but he was a kid. That fight against Joe Joyce he had a terrible injury and had he carried on, he would've lost his sight and that would've been the end of his career.”

<a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/oleksandr-usyk-vs-daniel-dubois-live-updates-results-and-highlights/1mamhqq53xs2h17jsy8o5rrj3f">Opposing Oleksandr Usyk in the summer of 2023, Dubois was hoping his career would come full circle in just three years. His venture to Poland in front of an intimidating crowd was marred by controversy. </a>  

Although struggling with the movement and accuracy of the mercurial Ukrainian, Dubois was getting close with some shots and when one landed low or on target, depending on whose interpretation you listen to, Usyk was troubled. 

The referee, the ultimate judge in this moment, decided the punch had landed illegally and as Usyk rolled around in pain on the canvas, he was given several minutes to recover before once again claiming ascendancy and securing another title defence. 

“That was the making of him,” revealed Warren, reflecting on how the Usyk setback made Dubois a stronger fighter. 

“We sat down after that fight and I said to him, ‘You beat yourself. You allowed that referee to get into your head.’ You let these be your referee [puts fists up] and that was the making of him." 

<h2>Parker rehabilitates among the heavy artillery </h2>

Alongside Dubois’s incredible rehabilitation, which included stoppage wins over Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic, and <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/anthony-joshua-vs-daniel-dubois-live-updates-results-and-highlights/1sfa40hx545sg1bl3z6owwmx1p"> Anthony Joshua</a>, Parker was also plotting a miraculous comeback. 

Unable to withstand the frequent attacks from Joyce, how would Parker deal with Deontay Wilder, the division's biggest puncher, who had been able to stop or floor every opponent he had ever faced. 

Wilder had his eyes firmly fixed on Joshua, and with new money flooding into boxing due to the lofty ambitions of His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, Joshua and Wilder was next, unless Parker had other ideas. 

Producing arguably the performance of his career, Parker did not put a step wrong as he nullified Wilder from the opening bell and refused to take his foot off the pedal. Even momentarily buzzing Wilder, Parker appeared to be the aggressor throughout and his dominance was reflected on the scorecards.

</ul>

The big wins would keep coming and after resisting the heavy artillery of Wilder, he did not have the same luck against Zhang as he was floored twice. Parker’s better work in the remainder of the contest saw him claim victory and with it, he was once again operating amongst contenders and champions who just a year previously had seemed well out of reach. 

Outlasting a host of fighters who had all at one point ruined Parker’s world title dreams, the 33-year-old is on the verge of looking down on all of them. 

<img alt="PIC 2 Zhang-Parker_08032024" perform:prop="uuid:6srr1mozhr017yiqo25elj38;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/5a/5a/pic-2-zhang-parker08032024_1q603a8q4mlyp17okyvv47m2uj.jpg?t=769527822" />

“Joe Parker, look what happened there,” added Warren. 

“Joe Joyce was on top of the world, and no one wanted to fight him and now that’s reversed around, but that’s just heavyweight boxing. You’ve got to stay with your guys sometimes. 

“Joe’s in a great position now, and him and Daniel is a cracking fight. That’s a really good quality heavyweight fight.” 

In the eyes of many, February 22 in Saudi Arabia was not intended to star Dubois and Parker, as more lucrative plans were surely scheduled for some of the division’s more recognisable names. 

Joshua vs Fury, Joshua vs Wilder, Fury vs Usyk 3, were very much the proposed battles when the heavyweight pieces were being moved around the board in recent years. 

Dubois and Parker had other ideas and by brutally flipping those aforementioned pieces off the table, the deserving pair have forged their own path to the summit of boxing’s most gloried division. 

Dubois vs Parker may not have been the heavyweight title people envisaged two years ago, perhaps not even 12 months ago, but the spotlight will shine brightly on them later this month and each man is more than worthy of occupying that stage they will both perform on.

Daniel Dubois vs Joseph Parker - The unlikely heavyweight title clash that did not surprise Frank Warren

Eddie Hearn and Matchroom will stage their first ever event in Canada as Rocky Hernandez and Rene Tellez Giron clash at Casino du Lac-Leamy in Gatineau, Quebec on Friday February 28, live worldwide on DAZN and in association with Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) – with the perspective to sign unbeaten Canadian heavyweight Alexis Barriere to a long term co-promotional deal with GYM, and Barierre faces Mexico’s Ubaldo Ilagor on the card.

Barriere (11-0 9 KOs) returns to action for the first time since landing his ninth KO win in his 11th pro-outing in October 2023, and a fourth inside the opening round. The 29-year-old southpaw and former Team Canada man was one of Tyson Fury’s sparring partners for his two fights with Oleksandr Usyk in May and December, and now the Sugar Hill Steward-trained Quebec puncher will be looking to get back in the groove and make an impact on the world rankings against Ilagor (13-1 12 KOs) over ten rounds, and Barriere’s fellow unbeaten Canadian Derek Pomerleau also in action over eight rounds at middleweight against an opponent to be named soon.

“For me, it's a new start on February 28, when my international career really begins,” said Barriere. “I may not have been active in fights the last year, but it was a rich experience and learning thanks to Tyson Fury and my trainer Sugar Hill. I know my opponent is dangerous, but nothing is going to stop me! I can't wait to give you a great show!”

“I have got the opportunity I had been waiting for,” said Ilagor. “I feel ready for this new challenge. I have been training for a month and a half in Las Vegas in the best preparation of my life.

“I want to show that Mexico has the quality in the heavyweight division, and on February 28 I will prove it against Alexis Barriere. I want to thank my company Bxstrs Promotions and Matchroom for the opportunity.”

</ul>

KO artist Hernandez (36-2 32 KOs) is back after an accidental head clash in his showdown with Thomas Mattice caused a cut to his left eye in Hermosillo back in September, ending a contest that was bubbling nicely with a technical decision win.  
 
That was a second win for ‘Rocky’ in his rebuild after his thrilling world title fight with O’Shaquie Foster in October 2023, and the WBA Continental Americas and IBF USBA super-featherweight titles when he takes on Giron (20-4 13 KOs), the fiery Mexican who gave future World Title challenger Floyd Schofield a real scare when he floored him in the 11th round of their clash in Las Vegas in November in a spirited performance.

“Different country, same date, same opponent, same outcome – Rocky by KO,” said Hernandez.

“I cant afford to lose this fight,” said Giron. “I’m looking to win by knockout.”

“I've been involved in professional boxing for over thirty years, and I've never been more excited than I am heading into this year,” said Michel. “Canada is currently experiencing a tremendous upsurge in talented young boxers and this event on February 28, with the invaluable collaboration of Eddie Hearn, marks a major turning point for our organization and our athletes whose leader, Alexis Barriere, will pave the way from Lac Leamy.”

“I am thrilled to announce Matchroom’s first event in Canada and the prospective of signing Alexis Barriere with our partner Yvon Michel,” said Hearn. “This will be the 19th country that we have promoted events in, and it’s one that we’re very excited to branch out to.

“Canada has a rich fighting history and there is a lot of talent there that’s looking to hit the big stage, and with Matchroom, Yvon Michel and DAZN on board, Canadian fighters are going to get the chance to shine, starting with the big-hitting Heavyweight Barriere.

“The main event on February 28 is going to be fireworks. Rocky always brings the action and styles will gel to create an all-Mexican war to heat up Quebec.”

Matchroom and Eddie Hearn to stage first show in Canada as former world title challenger returns

Seven different winners from the previous 10 editions makes <a href="http://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/motorsport/how-to-watch-wrc-rally-sweden-on-dazn/as8ub0q7iw6l1e7vo2ydxp2ss">Rally Sweden</a> one of the most difficult to predict on the <a href="http://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/motorsport/world-rally-championship-schedule-key-race-dates/t5g30elq6ghc1uy1t5dzjvd5e">World Rally Championship</a> calendar.

In fact, four of the current top flight Rally1 field have all tasted victory in Sweden - world champion Thierry Neuville (2018), Ott Tanak (2019, 2023), Elfyn Evans (2020) and Kalle Rovanpera (2022).

So to get a lie of the land heading into the WRC’s only snow event of the season, <a href="http://dazn.com/news">DAZN News</a> spoke to legendary WRC television commentator Becs Williams for an expert opinion on what could unfold on the snow and ice.

</ul>

<h2>One to watch: Elfyn Evans (Toyota Gazoo Racing)</h2>

<img alt="Elfyn Evans" perform:prop="uuid:5sgftnytnx6p1ptu9z1zjyfu4;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/4d/6f/elfyn-evans_1a6kh8k2xn1jt1kz54ah4frun2.jpg?t=-156598244" />

“Number one, it is going to be a very cold and the weather is taking a real plunge on the weekend, so it is going to be great conditions with minus temperatures in the day and minus at night.

“I think in terms of performance from the drivers, what we saw in Monte Carlo, I can’t look past the confidence of Elfyn Evans right now. I found him a changed person in Monte. There was a lightness about him that we haven’t really seen before. It was great to see him real self coming through, but also the commitment he showed on the stages in really difficult conditions was excellent. This is a great start to his season and he has always gone well at Rally Sweden. I think it is going to be hard to look past him but we do have so many other fantastic drivers.

“Neuville didn’t have the start he wanted in Monte and I think he was a little bit surprised by that. But the good thing about Rally Sweden is so many of the current crop have won it before and it is one of those events that hasn’t been dominated by just one driver.

“Who will win it this time? You can’t absolutely say it is going this or that driver. It will depend on the conditions and the level of snow fall of which there is no snow forecast for this week, so there won’t be any fresh snow that will hamper whoever is first on the road, and that will be Elfyn at the start of the event.

“I think a lot of people’s sights will be on Rovanpera especially after his comment at the final stage in Monte where he said “we will see if I can still drive a rally car in Sweden”. The answer is quite obviously, yes he can. I’m sure he will blow everybody away in Sweden and again it is an event where we have seen him on the top step of the podium as well.”

<h2>Hyundai set for a bounce back with updated car</h2>

<img alt="Hyundai i20 N WRC Rally1" perform:prop="uuid:1ns845xfrzlv71eazto65bfjqn;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/3f/77/hyundai-i20-n-wrc-rally1_94zv1brm3rgu1wte8lymi451d.jpg?t=-170349732" />

“I would think there will be a bounce back from Hyundai as Toyota really did have a strong weekend in Monte, while Adrien Fourmaux was the highest placed of the Hyundais. There has been a lot of secrecy in regards to the upgrades that are coming for the i20 N. But you just know that when you have people working on these things like Francois-Xavier Demaison (Hyundai technical director) and previously Christian Loriaux, you know what is coming is going to be good.

“I’m wondering how much we are going to be blown way. Will it be a huge difference? Will the drivers feel a difference? I certainly hope so, but for me they have got to be the team that should be feared moving on as they have three really strong drivers there, and new signing Fourmaux has adapted to that car so quickly. I absolutely do believe Adrien will take a first rally win probably now in the first half of this season. I was giving him the whole year, but I’m going to narrow it down.

“You can never rule Ott Tanak out of anything too. When he is at his absolute best and comfortable in the car and able to commit, there is nobody faster than him. He seems to go that little bit extra in taking above and beyond risks that is what it feels and looks like. The problem with Sweden is you can’t not look at anyone. I have put Elfyn as my one to watch because I saw a different Elfyn in Monte, but actually all of them have the ability to get on the top step of the podium, other than the M-Sport drivers right now with Gregoire (Munster) and Josh (McErlean).”

<h2>Sesks return to M-Sport-Ford to re-invigorate championship</h2>

<img alt="Martin Sesks" perform:prop="uuid:1uauiwjmhujmf1gyemlewd8wbh;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/c0/b1/martin-sesks_1je3sy7o79sx71869ucuyt5md2.jpg?t=-156597020" />

“He has really been putting in the graft with testing on snow events. He won a rally in Latvia recently and he is putting in all of the work.

“I think again from a fan perspective having Sesks into the mix really invigorates the championship and the fans not that they need much invigorating after what was a magnificent Monte.

"Now we get to see him on snow and we all know he is going to come in with an attitude of joy and excitement, but it is a big question as to what he can achieve out there.

“This will be a rally that will suit him as he certainly likes speed. How he will measure up against the drivers who have experience of these stages will be difficult, but I can guarantee you it will be entertaining.”

Expert Opinion: Who will shine on the WRC Rally Sweden snow?

Manchester City allowed two leads to slip away as they fell 3-2 to Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, giving the Spanish side the advantage ahead of next week's second leg in their Champions League knockout phase play-off tie.

Erling Haaland scored twice in the match, with each goal putting the home side on top, only for the visitors to answer in kind through Kylian Mbappé and Brahim Diaz. Then, with just seconds left to play, Jude Bellingham drove the dagger in with an easy finish.

For Pep Guardiola, it was the latest in a series of letdowns for his once-dominant club. Guardiola believes his side were naive in their approach in the closing moments and invited pressure from Los Blancos.

</ul>

"Many times it happen this season," the Man City manager told Amazon Prime. "I know the the quality of Real Madrid. We took the game in the second half and tried to attack too quick. It happens because they are an exceptional team.

"It happens many times this season. Bad decisions, that's all. I take it. It's not about you and me, it's everyone."

Things only get tougher for the Sky Blues now, as they must try to earn a result in Madrid in order to keep their European hopes alive.

"Of course now it's tough," Guardiola said. "We have to recover. I think now about Newcastle [in the Premier League on Saturday] and then go to the Bernabeu."

'Bad decisions' behind Manchester City loss to Real Madrid, says Pep Guardiola

It is a must-win fight for both <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/jack-catterall-vs-arnold-barboza-jr-fight-time-ringwalks-running-order-streaming-watch/6zsh3o8bp8ks137dum1eeosnv">Jack Catterall and Arnold Barboza Jr.</a> when the two clash for the interim WBO super lightweight world championship at Co-op Live in Manchester, England, and live on <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/home">DAZN</a>, on Saturday night.

Catterall (30-1, 13 knockouts) and Barboza (30-0, 11 KOs) enter the ring with nearly identical records with one man looking to inch closer to becoming the mandatory challenger to WBO titleholder Teofimo Lopez.

Plenty has been said between the two fighters and now it’s about time for the talking to cease.

</ul>

Here, <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news">DAZN News</a> analyzes which fighter has the edge across three key categories entering this vital bout for the interim WBO 140-pound title.

<h2>Boxing Style</h2>

<img alt="Jack Catterall October 2024" perform:prop="uuid:1d7bu4juvk70o1hxrr2y0hjic1;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/eb/b6/jack-catterall-october-2024_1iuo09zrepj9v1h5ror04eb7l2.jpg?t=-850746886" />

Catterall has been gritty in generating his current four-fight win streak — the last three opponents in Jorge Linares, Josh Taylor and Regis Prograis all being former world champions.

Through it all, the Chorley southpaw has shown power, dropping Prograis twice in their October fight en route to a lopsided unanimous decision.

And that is something Barboza will have to deal with.

Barboza’s ability to prod with his jab and turn that stick into a rapid multi-punch combination will help toward that cause. So will his five-inch reach advantage.

Whether he can keep Catterall from forward fighting and pressing the action in Manchester, though, remains to be seen.

The slight edge here goes to Catterall.

<h3>Edge: Catterall.</h3>

<h2>Experience</h2>

<img alt="Taylor-Catterall post fight_25052024" perform:prop="uuid:14h7u4izt9p4b1q2za4408n9ib;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/3b/29/taylor-catterall-post-fight25052024_al4qcz2slbw319upskosqxyx9.jpg?t=-1257458513" />

As aforementioned, Catterall has defeated three consecutive former world champions in Linares, Taylor and Prograis.

And the Chorley man could contend that he should be undisputed and undefeated altogether as many critics and fans alike believe he did more than enough to defeat Taylor in their original meeting back in February 2022, when Taylor was controversially awarded the victory by split-decision.

If anything, the controversial defeat has developed Catterall’s resolve and sharpened his mettle.

It is not that Barboza does not have quality experience to his name. He does, having defeated former world champions Jose Pedraza and Jose Ramirez in February 2023 and November 2024, respectively.

It is more that Catterall’s running of the gauntlet dating back to his initial meeting with Taylor cannot be denied.

He has the experience edge and momentum heading into this fight.

<h3>Edge: Catterall</h3>

<h2>Mental Warfare</h2>

<img alt="Jack Catterall Arnold Barboza Jr" perform:prop="uuid:u63pillj75ig1hdw3tub3w91i;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/2f/3b/jack-catterall-arnold-barboza-jr_1v5jkra9cq3op1r9grlkwan8b5.jpg?t=-515083244" />

Catterall and Barboza have not shied away from slinging verbal jabs just as they are bound to trade leather Saturday night.

When the two sat down for <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/home/d89elldu8pn8bn9zbhqlwiny0/1elh3dwxz5gh61ev7nqd6gowib">DAZN’s Live Face-Off</a> with Eddie Hearn serving as the moderator, Catterall, 31, called Barboza a “B-class fighter” and vowed to produce a knockout of the undefeated Long Beach, California contender.

Barboza returned fire, referring to Catterrall as “average” and vowing “if there’s going to be a stoppage, it’s going to be me stopping him.”

The 33-year-old also boasted “I’m overall better than him at everything” and warned that Catterall is “hungry, but I’m starving.”

Both men are well aware at the high stakes attached to this fight as a convincing, dominant performance will force the issue with Teofimo Lopez.

To that front, Barboza promises to return stateside with the interim belt in tow.

When he said just that, Catterall countered “you don’t believe that,” to which Barboza responded “I wouldn’t fly out to Manchester if I didn’t believe that.”

A lifetime of work for two fighters will prove fruitful for one.

Therefore, when it comes to mental warfare, Barboza’s steely confidence, and chip on his shoulder that he wears well, gets the slightest edge.

<h3>Edge: Barboza Jr.</h3>

So which fighter has the edge going into this fight across three categories? It’s Jack Catterall, 2-1.

Jack Catterall vs. Arnold Barboza Jr.: Who has the edge heading into the fight?

It took a late goal from Jude Bellingham, but Real Madrid left the Etihad Stadium with a 3-2 victory over Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League knockout phase play-off tie on Tuesday.

The teams traded goals throughout the match, with City star Erling Haaland scoring the opening goal of the match in the 19th minute before Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé struck for the equaliser at the hour mark. Haaland would score his second of the night from the penalty spot in the 80th minute, only for Brahim Diaz to even things up six minutes later.

Then, as he has so often done in his still-young Real Madrid career, Bellingham secured a dramatic late victory for Los Blancos with an opportunistic finish in stoppage time.

</ul>

"It was a weird one," Bellingham told Amazon Prime. "We played some of our best football of the season and ended up behind.

"I think we were playing well and creating a lot. We were always confident throughout the game that something would drop for us.

"I don't care what form City are in they are still an unbelievable team. It's always tricky to play against them and we finally took the chance at the end."

The result means the Spanish side are now on the front foot ahead of next week's second leg in Madrid, and Bellingham is confident that the home-field advantage will see them through to the round of 16.

"It's always good to take a lead back home and I'm sure the [Estadio] Bernabeu will come through for us," he said.

Less than five months after their first fight, Jaime Munguia and Bruno Surace are reportedly set to step back into the ring together.

Munguia (44-2, 35 KOs) and Surace (26-0-2, 5 KOs) first faced off in December, with the latter earning a shock sixth-round knockout against the Mexican. The defeat was Munguia's second of his career, with his first coming just months earlier at the hands of Alvarez, while Surace extended his undefeated record.

Jaime Munguia to face Bruno Surace in a rematch on Canelo vs. Scull card, report says

Celtic and Bayern Munich meet on Wednesday in Glasgow for the first leg of their knockout phase play-off tie.

The Scottish side are looking for their first-ever victory against the Bavarians, and they come into this contest having won their last two matches by a combined 11-0 score.

Of course, Bayern will provide a stiffer test than what Celtic are used to domestically, with the German giants on a four-match win streak.

Here's what to know about Celtic and Bayern Munich before their first-leg match.

<h2>Celtic vs. Bayern Munich: Head-to-head and recent statistics</h2>

<ul>
	<li>All-time meetings: 4</li>
	<li>Celtic wins: 0</li>
	<li>Draws: 1</li>
	<li>Bayern Munich wins: 3</li>
</ul>

Bayern Munich hold the edge in the all-time meetings between these sides, with three wins in four matches.

<h2>Celtic vs. Bayern Munich: What the managers are saying</h2>

<h3>Brendan Rodgers, Celtic</h3>

(via <a href="https://www.celticfc.com/news/2025/february/11/manager--we-re-ready-to-perform-on-this-european-stage/"> CelticFC.com</a>) 

“Bayern Munich are one of the giants of the European game. They really are football royalty in terms of what they’ve achieved over many years at this level. So for us to be in a position where we can challenge them is a great marker for us.

“What is important for us, is that we’re very much alive in the tie going over to Germany. I think that would be the key message for us, but we want to go and perform.

“We’re not frightened to lose, that’s not what this is about. This is about going and performing, and if we can perform well, like we’ve shown in this competition, especially at home, hopefully we can get what we deserve.”

<h3>Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich</h3>

(via <a href="https://fcbayern.com/en/news/2025/02/live-blog-build-up-to-bayern-champions-league-play-off-first-leg-against-celtic"> FCBayern.com</a>) 

"I think we're playing against a team that is used to winning a lot and settling days with their attack. They're used to scoring goals. They take that confidence into big games. But there's some things they do less of. They probably defend less deep in their domestic league. I've got that experience against clubs who are dominant in their league."

<h2>Celtic vs. Bayern Munich: Prediction</h2>

The Scottish side have yet to win a match against Bayern, and that streak likely continues.

Prediction: Celtic 0-2 Bayern Munich

Celtic vs. Bayern Munich: Preview, team news, prediction for Champions League match

The <a href="http://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/motorsport/world-rally-championship-schedule-key-race-dates/t5g30elq6ghc1uy1t5dzjvd5e">World Rally Championship</a> springs back into life after its Monte Carlo curtain raiser with one of motorsport’s most iconic events - the ultra fast blast through <a href="http://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/motorsport/how-to-watch-wrc-rally-sweden-on-dazn/as8ub0q7iw6l1e7vo2ydxp2ss">Rally Sweden</a>’s snow stages.

Toyota’s eight-time world champion Sebastien Ogier recording a stunning 10th Monte Carlo win last month grabbed the headlines, while other key storylines began to unfold.

This week provides the next instalment of this championship battle, held in completely different surroundings with Monte Carlo’s asphalt mountain roads replaced by Sweden’s super fast snow bank lined forest roads.

<h2>Key talking points</h2>

<h3>Who will adapt the quickest to new tyres?</h3>

The arrival of a new tyre supplier always causes headaches for WRC teams as they scramble to gather as much data as possible to understand the performance of the new rubber. This was a huge talking point in Monte Carlo as Hankook made its WRC debut as control tyre supplier.

Hankook’s tyres proved to be durable receiving a positive review by teams in Monte Carlo but the tyres offer a vastly different characteristic compared to their predecessor, and it appears it will be the same in Sweden. In the case of Toyota’s <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/motorsport/kalle-rovanpera-wrc-rally-sweden-lapland-preparations/7wi2xyfu68ts1lkmuh5yy2mca">Kalle Rovanpera</a>, the Finn has had to change his driving style to adapt to Hankook’s new slick tyre.

Tyres will be a hot topic in Sweden given Hankook will debut its studded snow tyre, an event-specific product featuring seven-millimetre studs designed to dig into the snow and icy road surfaces to provide grip.

Whoever masters the performance of this tyre the quickest will make a giant leap towards the top step of the podium in Sweden.

<h3>How will Hyundai’s upgraded car perform?</h3>

It has been talked about for months but this weekend will see Hyundai take the covers off its highly anticipated evolution of its i20 N Rally1 car.

Hyundai has spent four homologation development jokers on upgrades to save weight and improve its suspension in a bid to close the gap, and even overtake Toyota as the WRC’s best car.

After winning last year’s visit to Sweden, Hyundai has proven its can successfully master one of the WRC’s most specialised events.

Its driver line-up has also shown speed on the snow with reigning world champion Thierry Neuville (2018) and Ott Tanak (2019) both claiming wins in Sweden, while new recruit Adrien Fourmaux netted his maiden WRC podium at the event last year.

<h3>Will Rovanpera return to being a dominant force?</h3>

It is fair to say Monte Carlo is not two-time world champion Kalle Rovanpera’s favourite event, but the Finn was able to salvage a fine fourth last month.

Much is expected from the 24-year-old, making his full-time return to the championship after contesting a partial campaign last year off the back of winning the 2022 and 2023 titles.

Rovanpera started the season as the overwhelming title favourite, and now back on event he has previously dominated (2022), it will be interesting to see if the Toyota driver will ignite a campaign for a third title this weekend. But again, adjusting to the new tyres, which he found difficult in Monte Carlo, could emerge as another talking point this weekend.

<h3>The WRC’s rising star returns</h3>

Martins Sesks lit up the WRC last year in his three wildcard outings driving for M-Sport-Ford and this weekend marks his return to the championship.

The 25-year-old Latvian, who many feel will become one of the WRC’s future stars, has secured a six-round 2025 programme that begins in Sweden. After finishing fifth in Poland and narrowly missing out on a podium in his native Latvia last year, Sesks could again turn heads this weekend and perhaps lead M-Sport’s charge.

“I’m excited to be driving on snow, I really enjoy driving in these conditions, using the snow banks around the roads. It should be a fun weekend and I’m really looking forward to it,” said Sesks.

<h3>Who will become the WRC’s new female star?</h3>

The WRC’s search for its next woman driver will reach tis climax this weekend with Belgium’s Lyssia Baudet and Germany’s Claire Schonborn going head-to-head to win a fully funded Junior WRC campaign.

Launched in 2024 by WRC Promoter, the Women’s Driver Development Programme is an initiative designed to boost female representation at the highest levels of rallying.

Baudet and Schonborn earned selection to last year’s Central European Rally final, alongside Suvi Jyrkiainen (Finland). Baudet and Schonborn couldn’t be split, resulting in the duo taking part in shootout, driving Ford Fiesta Rally3 machinery this weekend, with a life changing prize on offer.

Rally Sweden Preview: Five key talking points

The lastest edition of the Merseyside derby kicks off Wednesday, and it'll be the final one at Goodison Park.

Everton and Liverpool will meet in a match that was originally scheduled for early December, but severe weather forced the postponement of the fixture.

That occurrence may have been the best thing to happen to Everton as they are a renewed side under David Moyes, who took over as manager last month. The Toffees are now in a much better position to take points off their rivals, who continue to lead the Premier League but are coming off a shock FA Cup fourth-round loss to Plymouth Argyle.

Here's what you need to now about Everton and Liverpool ahead of their match.

<h2>Everton vs. Liverpool: Head-to-head and recent statistics</h2>

<ul>
	<li>All-time meetings: 295</li>
	<li>Everton wins: 84</li>
	<li>Draws: 86</li>
	<li>Liverpool wins: 125</li>
</ul>

Liverpool have won the majority of the all-time meetings between these sides, winning 125 of 295 total matches.

However, Everton were 2-0 winners the last time out.

(via <a href="https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2025/february/11/watch-moyes--press-conference-from-1-30pm--gmt-/"> EvertonFC.com</a>) 

"They've always been difficult games - I have to say. Liverpool have always been a tough opponent, but at Goodison, it always felt a lot easier because we had the support behind us, and a fantastic crowd. I think this game will be no different."

<h3>Arne Slot, Liverpool</h3>

"They were to a certain extent [struggling before David Moyes' hiring]. I think they picked up some good results as well away at [Manchester] City and I think away at Arsenal as well; some clean sheets, some draws. I think those were very good results from an Everton perspective as well, if you have to play away games like that. I'm aware of the fact that David took over for four games and they've won three. That is definitely a great accomplishment from him. They are definitely maybe now in a better place now than they were a few weeks or months ago. The weather circumstances are a bit better maybe as well!"

<h2>Everton vs. Liverpool: Prediction</h2>

If this match was played when it was originally scheduled, it would likely have resulted in a Liverpool rout. However, the Toffees' current form hints that they'll be far more of a challenge for the league leaders on Wednesday than they would have been back in December.

Prediction: Everton 2-2 Liverpool

Everton vs. Liverpool: Preview, team news, prediction for Premier League match

The 2025 World Rally Championship campaign stops off in Scandinavia for the snowy stages of Rally Sweden this week, where every fraction of a second can be crucial.

Twenty years ago, that was never more apparent than in one of the event's all-time great tussles, where two men were separated by a split-second measurement on ice.

Cast your mind back to 2005. Chelsea were romping away to a then-record points haul for the Premier League title against Arsenal, their first top-flight crown for a half-century.

But across the North Sea, it was another blue team that triumphed over the reds in the WRC, as Subaru's Petter Solberg overcame Peugeot's Marcus Gronholm in an epic fight.

Many felt lightning could strike twice for the burgeoning Sebastien Loeb and Citreon after he became the first driver from outside Scandinavia to win the event the previous year.

But Solberg was adamant this would not be the case, with the popular Norwegian vowing repeatedly in the lead-up: “It will not happen. It can’t happen twice."

Indeed, his prophecy proved correct, and it would be the Subaru star that seized an emotional victory in what was then considered his home WRC round against his rivals.

Unseasonably mild weather meant the stages were perhaps less capped with snow than in previous years, but the challenge was no less difficult for crews across the weekend.

Solberg and co-driver Phil Mills came out of the blocks quickly to win the first two stages, but dropped back a pair of places on the third after a suspension tweak did not sit right.

That meant that after three stages, only two-tenths of a second separated his Impreza from Gronholm in the Peugeot 307 and Loeb in the Citroen Xsara at the top of the pack.

Solberg briefly snatched the lead back from Gronholm, only to end the opening day 0.2s adrift with Loeb back in third (+10.2s) after a costly mistake on stage four, where the Citroen driver ceded 18 seconds.
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OCPmH0469X8?si=p8JB4_xmVzD9aj0x" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

The pair's intense fight continued to gain traction as they went up another level on the second day, with Gronholm initially clear before struggles with his Pirelli rubber hurt him.

Solberg seized a short-lived 8.4s advantage before another lead change saw just 1.1 between the pair with the Peugeout back in front between the duelling crews.

Not to be denied victory, the former responded in style to end the day with a 12.6s lead over Gronholm, while power struggles left an ailing Loeb off the pace behind in third.

Solberg admitted victory was "still [a] dream to him", but he turned it into reality on the final day after a dramatic battle ended his rival's challenge for the leadership on Stage 16.

Facing a 13-second deficit, Gronholm cracked in his pursuit and rolled his 307, damaging the front-left suspension to effectively signal the end of his aspirations for the race.

The Finn managed to keep going for a while after, and held up an angry Solberg who had caught his wounded foe, before he eventually called it a day on the side of the road.

It meant the latter could cruise to one of his finest WRC wins, taking the spoils by 2m11.1s from Gronholm's team-mate Mark Martin, while Ford's Toni Gardemeister netted third.

The podium finish was enough to move the fellow Finn into the championship lead, as both took advantage of Loeb's demise too once his Citroen engine gave up the ghost.

“It is incredible," an overjoyed Solberg said in the aftermath, who in his in-car celebrations accidentally ripped up part of Mill’s pacenotes. "It has been a big dream for me."

Fast forward to 2025 and the WRC makes its annual trip to Sweden with the outcome of round two highly likely to be decided by mere seconds once again.

The Solberg-Gronholm battle may be consigned to the history books but one half of that dynasty has continued with Petter’s son Oliver Solberg.

The Swedish racer is now eyeing up a three-peat in the WRC’s second tier WRC2 class on home soil after his previous success in the event too.

WRC Flashback: Rally Sweden's Solberg-Gronholm epic, two decades on

Bob Arum has long been an admirer of Naoya Inoue after promoting the Japanese sensation for a number of years now. 

The veteran promoter, now 93, has been around boxing for many decades and he has seen many legendary fighters come and go. 

From Muhammad Ali to Floyd Mayweather, Arum has worked with some of the sport’s most iconic names, but it is Inoue that he has the most praise for. 

<a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/day-5-of-dazns-10-new-years-resolutions-for-boxing-naoya-inoue-goes-for-an-unprecedented-third-undisputed-crown/1spnl5hbbjoh21ufx8yzgoiw1g">Now a four-weight world champion and eyeing a potential move to featherweight to make it five </a> , Inoue has blazed his way through numerous weight-classes destroying every opponent he has faced.

</ul>

An undisputed world champion at two weight classes, Inoue has held a collection of belts, and it is possible that his best days are still in front of him. 

Even though more honours could await Inoue, Arum has seen enough, and he has declared him the best fighter he has ever seen. 

“Inoue is not only pound-for-pound the best in the world, Inoue is the best fighter I’ve ever seen, no matter what weight category or anything,” said Arum when speaking to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rPam91KEbs&t=135s"> Jai McAllister </a> . 

“I have never ever in the almost 60-years I’ve been in boxing seen anything like Inoue."

Bob Arum names the current pound-for-pound superstar who is the best he has seen and it is not Oleksandr Usyk

Frank Warren has hailed a blockbuster era for British heavyweight boxing, <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/queensberry-dazn-huge-boxing-schedule-major-heavyweight-undisputed-world-champion/wxw93vwm1qth17mkfzkw7rxkn">as the Queensberry Promotions boss prepares to take his stable to DAZN this year</a>.

The top division in the sport currently finds itself littered with names from the United Kingdom, including <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/anthony-joshua-vs-daniel-dubois-live-updates-results-and-highlights/1sfa40hx545sg1bl3z6owwmx1p">IBF title holder Daniel Dubois and ex-two-time champion Anthony Joshua</a>.

Now Warren has expanded upon the current cream of the crop, in contrast to his early days within the sport, and hailed the domestic growth of the division to a global level.

"This heavyweight scene, we've invested heavily in it, and we're now moving to a new platform in April," he told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0wN2CUvj-8">The Stomping Ground</a>.

"When I started out in boxing, we had some really great heavyweights in the United Kingdom, but they didn't win titles.

"Now, we're blessed with them. Take [Oleksandr] Usyk out of the picture, and we're the bosses. Usyk has got to fight our guys because they're all in great positions.

"They're number one [contenders] or they are mandatory [challengers]. It's a great time for British heavyweight boxing."

Warren will have high hopes for a successful 2025 with his slate of big hitters, as questions continue to rumble over Usyk's future after another win over Tyson Fury.

The Ukrainian had been mooted to return to cruiserweight at one juncture, but may wait to settle a rematch with Dubois if the IBF champion beats Joseph Parker this month.

'Now we're blessed!' - Frank Warren hails growth of British heavyweight division ahead of DAZN move

Former world light middleweight champion <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/liam-smith-signs-new-promotional-deal-with-matchroom-boxing/csd1tzmca3wc198ihrr0hhp3l">Liam Smith</a> has advised Derek Chisora to retire after his win over Otto Wallin on Saturday night. 

Billed as his last fight in the UK, and possibly the last of his boxing career, Chisora wound back the clock and beat Wallin convincingly by unanimous decision. 

His looping right hand landed with ease and even managed to knock down his Swedish foe in both the ninth and 12th rounds.

Following the win, Chisora called for fights against <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/derek-chisora-identifies-three-major-world-class-names-for-fight-number-50/e0eakma8zswt1thbd767joyg5">Anthony Joshua, Daniel Dubois and Oleksandr Usyk</a>, and the crowd at Manchester's Co-Op Live was eager to see 'Del Boy' face all three.

</ul>

However, there are some who are calling for Chisora to retire and one of those is Smith who believes the heavyweight should go out on a high. 

"I don’t think them fights will happen; I also don’t want to see them fights for Derek," Smith told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E5CALoHOrA">talkSPORT</a>. 

"It’s plain to see now that he is past his best, them heavyweights don’t punch lightly.

"I would like to see him go out on a high, go out on that win, but if he does fight again, it will probably be the winner of Joe Joyce and Dillian Whyte."

Dillian Whyte and Joe Joyce are set to headline the <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/queensberry-dazn-huge-boxing-schedule-major-heavyweight-undisputed-world-champion/wxw93vwm1qth17mkfzkw7rxkn">first Queensberry Promotions fight card</a> broadcast worldwide on <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/p/boxing">DAZN</a> which takes place on April 5 at the Co-Op Live.

Dereck Chisora

Former British world champion urges Derek Chisora to retire after Otto Wallin win

Reece Bellotti can take a step closer to winning the prestigious Lord Lonsdale Challenge Belt outright when he defends it against Michael Gomez Jr in an eagerly anticipated 130lbs grudge match at <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/jack-catterall-vs-arnold-barboza-jr-fight-time-ringwalks-running-order-streaming-watch/6zsh3o8bp8ks137dum1eeosnv"> Co-op Live in Manchester this Saturday </a> - shown live worldwide on <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/p/boxing"> DAZN </a> .  
 
The Watford favourite (19-5, 14 KOs) was originally set to defend his British and Commonwealth titles against Gomez Jr on the Catterall vs Prograis bill last October, but the Mancunian dramatically pulled out of their fight on medical grounds shortly after arriving at the arena on fight night.  
 
'Bomber' was left furious at the decision to call their fight off at the last minute but says he used that anger to fuel a second gruelling camp as he prepares for another step in his brilliant resurgence in the super-featherweight division.  
 
“We went to the venue and everything was normal," recalled Bellotti. "The whole build-up was normal. Set ourselves up in the changing room. We came back out, and they come up to us and said, ‘it’s off’. I thought it was a joke. 
  
“I was absolutely fuming. Obviously everyone can see how I lost my head and just went mad in the DAZN interview. I’ve never heard of any fighter out there pull-out at that moment of time, where you’re literally about to get wrapped up to fight. I was fuming.

</ul>

“I’m hopeful that he won’t do the same again and we will actually fight, and I’ll win. Whatever I bring, he won’t be ready for it. The track has been hell on earth this camp. I've spilt blood, sweat and tears for this fight. It’s another step closer to winning the British Title outright, which will propel me onto bigger shows and get more interest in me. 
 
"There’s a lot of Frank Warren fighters that are the same weight – so it could be a Saudi 5 vs 5 card later in the year maybe. Loads of doors could open for me. A win on February 15 is definitely going to push me closer to that." 
  
A mainstay of British boxing since his professional debut at the famous York Hall back in 2015, Bellotti insists that he still has plenty left to give the sport - and the 34-year-old 'Bomber' is fuelled by the desire to make his two children proud of his achievements. 
  
“I’ve always loved boxing," said Bellotti. "I’ve always been told the second you run out of love for the sport, you get out the sport. Now it’s like where my kids are old enough to understand about the sport, I want them to see that their dad is a British champion. Now they understand these things and it’s a good thing for me. 
  
“My fighting style has changed a bit over the years. I used to just be crash, bang, wallop and just go out and have a tear-up the best I can, always looking for knockouts – which I always do regardless as a fighter. Now I’ve got a little bit more brain about me, I’m a little bit older. I’ve got a lot more greys. We’ve learnt a lot from the mistakes I’ve made over the years. I’ve been beaten a few times and I’m a more well-rounded fighter now."

Reece Bellotti fired up for British title grudge fight

Boxing legend <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/teddy-atlas-three-british-heavyweights-beat-mike-tyson/1424f8mi0hfcl1nohx7o9utlsh">Mike Tyson</a> is wary of <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/terence-crawford-reacts-to-canelo-alvarez-riyadh-season-deal/1hwy2e0ir7fef1auz575dw04bg">Terence Crawford</a> moving up two weight divisions to face unified super middleweight champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. 

It was confirmed last week that <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/canelo-alvarez-signs-four-fight-deal-turki-alalshikh-riyadh-season/1bsce29zg78461wmqvzlh9k4nz">Alvarez had signed a four-fight deal with Riyadh Season</a> with one of the bouts being against Crawford in September. 

A clash between Alvarez and Crawford has been talked about for the past year or so, but many fans came to the conclusion that the contest will only happen if the latter makes the jump from super welterweight to super middleweight.

</ul>

With Crawford more than happy to move up two weight divisions, two generational greats will now go head-to-head with Las Vegas the likely stage for the fight. 

However, boxing legend and former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is concerned about Crawford's weight and instead would like to see 'Bud' take on a current welterweight champion. 

“You know, I don’t like that fight. I don’t like that fight. It’s just too much weight," Tyson told the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3uwIkWo-Fc&t=1718s">It Is What It Is podcast</a>. 

"He had a close fight with the last guy he fought [Madrimov] cause this guy was big and he was awkward. I want to see him fight one of the Charlo brothers. Or the young brother from Philadelphia, I forgot his name. Ennis."

Crawford last fought in August when he <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/terence-crawford-vs-israil-madrimov-live-updates-results-highlights/1k692n0cv9jic1rw7orsr7gc7c">beat Israil Madrimov to become the WBA super welterweight champion</a>, and it looks like the American will not be taking a warm-up fight before facing Alvarez.

Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford: Mike Tyson gives verdict on Crawford moving up in weight

Frank Warren is in no rush to confirm Derek Chisora’s next move and he has urged his heavyweight charge to take a well deserved rest. 

<a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/derek-chisora-identifies-three-major-world-class-names-for-fight-number-50/e0eakma8zswt1thbd767joyg5">Chisora was in action this past weekend in front of a loud crowd at Manchester’s Co-op Live arena as he scored an impressive win over Otto Wallin </a> . 

<a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/otto-wallin-excited-surprised-derek-chisora-jarrell-miller/t79n6k6l2dm184s5tpcyakm6">The durable Swede was expected present Chisora with a serious test, but it was clear from the outset that Chisora was the better fighter </a> . 

Defying pre-fight odds that had him a significant underdog, Chisora started fast and his aggression put him well in front on the scorecards. 

As the fight progressed, Chisora enjoyed more success, and he put the final result beyond doubt when he dropped Wallin twice before winning on the scorecards.

</ul>

Immediately after the fight, Chisora, joined by members of the British hip-hop scene, asked the audience who they wanted him to fight next. 

Chisora provided three options as held images of Oleksandr Usyk, Daniel Dubois, and Anthony Joshua above his head aiming to figure out who drew the biggest reaction. 

His next fight, number 50, is intended to be his last contest and Warren, once again Chisora’s promoter, has offered his thoughts on the matter. 

“What is next for Derek? We’ll have to wait and see because he does need a good, long rest at the moment,” said Warren when speaking in his <a href="https://queensberry.co.uk/blogs/frank-warren-digest/life-in-the-old-del-yet"> Queensberry column </a> . 

“He is in a strong position with the IBF so he does have options, but the heavyweight landscape is a very changeable terrain at the present time, so we shouldn’t rush into anything. 

“What I do know is that Derek must get to 50 and then declare. These fights take a lot out of boxers and Derek has had a great run. Remember, I said he should have called it a day a couple of years ago, but a fighter knows when his or her time is up. Reaching 50 must be the finish line though.”

Frank Warren provides update on what he would like next for Derek Chisora

Abdullah Mason is ruling out a huge shock on Feb 22 when <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/shakur-stevenson-vs-floyd-schofield-fight-time-ringwalks-running-order-streaming-watch/gcpq2jihcd1l16dod6bvm19eb"> Shakur Stevenson defends his world lightweight title against Floyd Schofield in Saudi Arabia </a> . 

The fight, part of a huge show in Riyadh, live on <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/p/boxing"> DAZN </a> , will see Stevenson look to enhance his pound-for-pound reputation against one of boxing’s emerging stars. 

Barring a brief flooring in his last fight against Rene Tellez Giron, Schofield has not put a step foot wrong in his professional career, but he will be facing a huge step up in class against his Stevenson. 

Both from New Jersey, more than local pride will be on the line for each man as future big fights in 2025 could be next for the victor.

One of Top Rank’s brightest prospects, Mason has emerged as a real hope for American boxing and he will be in action the week before Stevenson vs. Schofield when he tackles Manuel Jaimes in New York. 

Mason is one day hopeful of reaching the platform his division rivals currently find themselves on and he will be a keen spectator once his own fight is out of the way. 

Stevenson enters the contest a big favourite and Mason believes those odds are justified when making his prediction for how things may play out. 

“I feel like Shakur does what he wants in there. Kid Austin has a good style, but I don’t think it’s a style that’s ready for Shakur,” said Mason when speaking to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR3XBDl3WzU&t=522s"> Fighthype </a> . 

“I feel Shakur might sweep him. He might stop him. I’m not sure how he’s going to fight, but I feel he can do what he wants. 

“I don’t think there’s any chance. Of course, it’s boxing, and there’s a percentage, but I don’t know what that percentage is. To me, I don’t see it.”

Shakur Stevenson vs Floyd Schofield - Abdullah Mason makes emphatic prediction for huge clash

Frank Warren has not ruled out Derek Chisora facing Daniel Dubois or Joseph Parker in his likely farewell fight for the IBF heavyweight title, stating the star has "a lot of options".

Now Queensberry Promotions boss Warren has weighed in on whether he could take a fairytale ending, though he stressed again that the veteran should hang up his gloves soon.

"He's got a lot of options," he told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0wN2CUvj-8">The Stomping Ground</a>. "He's won an eliminator for the IBF title. We've got Daniel Dubois defending his title against Joe Parker.

"Derek has got his eyeballs on that as well. He's in the situation. It's an option. I'm the guy who said he shouldn't be fighting a couple of years ago.

But he's proved everybody wrong. It's a tough, tough game. He's now getting to the 50, but he must retire after that.

"Win or lose, he must retire. I want him to live a happy life. He's got a lovely family and kids. They want to know who his dad is."

Chisora has twice challenged for the heavyweight world title before, losing by unanimous decision to Vitali Klitschko in 2012 and by knockout to Tyson Fury in 2022.

Chisora v Wallin

'A lot of options!' - Frank Warren not ruling out world title challenge for Derek Chisora's farewell

There is something special about competing at the highest level of your sport in your own backyard, and nobody will know it quite like Oliver Solberg this weekend.

The 23-year-old, the son of legendary 2003 WRC champion Petter Solberg, will line up for the start of the 2025 Rally Sweden this weekend for a home country race.

<ul>
	<li>Read more |  <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/motorsport/how-to-watch-wrc-rally-sweden-on-dazn/as8ub0q7iw6l1e7vo2ydxp2ss"> How to watch WRC Rally Sweden on DAZN: Date, schedule, time and livestream info </a> </li>
</ul>

The rally is one of seven chosen nominated point-scoring rounds for the star this year, and the first in his ambition to be crowned WRC2 Champion – a title he came agonisingly close to in 2024.

Solberg makes a switch from a Skoda Fabia, in which he had campaigned for several years across his young career, to a new Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 for 2025 in pursuit of that dream.

“Last year was so close,” he told DAZN . “It really hurt that we were within touching distance and not able to clinch it. That frustration from last season is only serving as a greater motivation for this year."

Solberg is a familar winner on home turf, having won the Rally2 class for the last two years here, and alongside British co-driver Elliott Edmondson, is aiming for a hat-trick in the support category. 

“I really feel at home in the snow,” he added. “Sweden is definitely one of the highlights, one of the favourites for the season.

"Like you can imagine, it’s a special feeling to compete at home in front of so many friends and family. The fans are just amazing as well. But it’s the roads that make this one really special.

“I’m competing in the Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 for the first time in full snowy conditions, so this is something new.

"We will have completed our pre-event testing and, of course, we drove the Monte Carlo Rally last month. I was immediately impressed with the Yaris.

"It’s quite a different car from what I’ve driven before, more nimble and, with the three-cylinder engine, the delivery of power and torque is a little different. I love it.

“The priority is points next week and there’s no better way to score big points than to win WRC2, so that’s what we’re aiming for.”
