Tyson Fury: I will still fight Anthony Joshua this year
Tyson Fury has insisted that he still intends to fight Anthony Joshua this year despite committing to a trilogy fight against Deontay Wilder in July. Only last weekend, Fury announced that his much-anticipated heavyweight showdown with Joshua would take place in Saudi Arabia in August.

Fury’s first bout against Wilder came in December 2018 and ended in a controversial draw. In the rematch last year, the self-styled Gypsy King stopped his opponent in round seven to win the WBC heavyweight and Ring magazine titles. A planned trilogy fight was initially postponed by the coronavirus pandemic, before disputes over the rescheduling saw Fury declare that he’d ...
Fulham shock Leicester to go out of relegation zone
Fulham climbed out of the Premier League relegation zone after finally solving their penalty woes in a shock 2-1 win at Leicester on Monday. Scott Parker’s side won for just the second time in the league this season thanks to Ademola Lookman’s opener and Ivan Cavaleiro’s penalty.

Harvey Barnes scored for Leicester in the closing minutes, but Fulham held on and move one point above the bottom three. It was only Fulham’s second away win in the past 2...

‘Glee,’ ‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’ & More: Which Musical Show Should Reunite Next?
NBC’s Broadway-centered series Smash regained buzz on the Internet this week, seven years after its final episode, when it was announced that a special livestream of the 2015 live concert of Bombshell will air on May 20 at People.com along with a cast reunion. As with the original 2015 Bombshell concert, the livestream will be benefiting The Actors Fund, the national human services organization helping support actors through health care, affordable housing, financial assistance and more. Given that we’re in an age of social distancing and Zoom meetings, it’s easier now more than ever for some of our other favorite musical TV shows to reunite (virtually). Maybe the Glee cast can come together for an iconic re...
