    A fully-clothed Tyson Fury has weighed in at his heaviest mark ahead of tomorrow morning's heavyweight boxing showdown against Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh


    The Brit - sporting a leather jacket - tipped the scales at 281 pounds or about 127 kilos ... that's 55 pounds or 25KG heavier than Usyk, who weighed in at a career-high 226 pounds - or 102KG - while also fully kitted.

    Boxing promoter Frank Warren says the numbers on the scale will be irrelevant once the pair enter the squared circle.

    The Breakers feel the chemistry is growing with mid-season signing Tacko Fall, despite their losing streak in the NBL extending to seven games.

    The centre, who's almost 2.3-metres tall - that's 7-foot-6 - put up 15 points and 9 rebounds in the side's latest loss to the Sydney Kings by 8 points at Spark Arena.

    Guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright says Fall is taking a step in the right direction.

    Warren Gatland has survived a performance review by the Welsh Rugby Union and the Kiwi will stay on as the head coach of Wales for next year's Six Nations.

    Wales have lost 12 straight games and have completed their first winless calendar year in test rugby for the first time since 1937.

    A statement from the Welsh Rugby Union says they considered "wholesale immediate change", but instead they've issued a warning to Gatland that he must start delivering results.



    Warren Gatland will remain as Wales head coach for the 2025 Six Nations, but the Kiwi's been warned by the Welsh Rugby Union that he must start delivering results.

    Wales have lost 12 straight games, finishing the entire calendar year without winning a test for the first time since 1937.

    A statement from the Welsh Rugby Union says they considered "wholesale immediate change" as part of a review, before deciding that challenging Gatland to change the nation's fortunes on the pitch was the best approach.
