Netflix show pulls in 6 million viewers to soar up charts in 43 countries
Netflix's leap into live events has added more firepower to an arsenal that already made the platform the most popular on-demand streaming service in the world. While stand-up comedy and reality shows have both been tested, it's real-time sports coverage that appears to be in Netflix's grand plans following the huge success of Christmas Day's live NFL streams and the acquisition of WWE broadcast rights (Picture: Getty Images) Perhaps its most anticipated live sport event so far was November's boxing clash between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. Although many viewers were left furious over constant buffering and streaming issues, Netflix said the highly-anticipated bout pulled in viewers from 60 million households – and the platform has continued to muscle its way into the fight game as streamers threaten to replace more traditional pay-per-view coverage (Picture: Getty Images) The Tyson-Paul fight also provided the platform for a rematch between Ireland's Katie 'The Bray Bomber' Taylor and Puerto Rico's Amanda 'The Real Deal' Serrano, which Netflix says was 'the most-watched professional women's sports event in US history, with an estimated 74 million live viewers globally.' The streamer continued its success on Friday night as subscribers were given access to the trilogy fight for what's been described as 'the fiercest rivalry in women's boxing' (Picture: Getty Images) The weekend's coverage from the headline fight at Madison Square Garden in New York City pulled in more than six million viewers across the globe. Netflix announced that the main event drew an average-minute audience of 4.2 million viewers in the United States alone, hit the top of the most-watched charts in US, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, as well as making the top 10 in 43 countries overall (Picture: Getty Images) Netflix described the event as 'nothing short of epic' and a 'true global moment', announcing it had broken Guinness World Records, with 17 world titles on the line across five championship bouts adding to the scale of the spectacle. Taylor won on the night, as she had in their previous two meetings to make it a clean sweep in the trilogy (Picture: Getty Images) The event was shrewdly picked by Netflix, with fight experts predicting that it could provide the platform to launch women's boxing into a new era. Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn said after the fight: 'What they did tonight was give so many opportunities to so many great female fighters and big paydays and big opportunities. [Katie] won't ever say it but it's down to her. There's been many more before her but she's the one commercially who's broke down the barriers that have given so many opportunities' (Picture: Getty Images) The next boxing event on the calendar for Netflix will be the blockbuster bout between Mexico's Saúl 'Canelo' Álvarez and undefeated American star Terence 'Bud' Crawford. It will be shown on Saturday, September 13, live from Las Vegas. As part of its 'WWE Premium Live Events', Netflix will also be showing WWE Summer Slam live on August 2 and August 3 (Picture: Getty Images) Netflix's live coverage is set to extend far beyond sport, with NASA announcing at the end of June that it was set to team up with the streaming giant to host NASA+ live programming. It said: 'Audiences now will have another option to stream rocket launches, astronaut spacewalks, mission coverage, and breathtaking live views of Earth from the International Space Station' (Picture: Getty Images)

Kneecap announce new tour dates for group's ‘biggest run of shows ever'
The move comes after Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was charged in May with a terrorism offence relating to displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, during a gig in November 2024. The group said their actions, including holding the Hezbollah flag, had been taken out of context. A post shared by KNEECAP (@kneecap32) Announcing the news on Tuesday, the group – which is made up of O hAnnaidh, Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh – shared a post on Instagram with the caption that read: 'Here we go. 'We're back in November across Scotland, England and Wales to play our biggest run of shows ever. 'All of ye can get a pre-sale link for tomorrow at 10am ahead of the masses by signing up to our mailer or WhatsApp channel. 'The Prime Minster himself cant stop us…he could stop sending bombs to Israel but that's another story…' The group are known for speaking out against the war in Gaza, and recently performed to a sea of Palestinian flags during their set at Glastonbury Festival in June. They claim the controversies surrounding the group are part of a smear campaign against them because of their vocal support for Palestine and criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza, which they say is a genocide. The group recently performed at Glasgow's O2 Academy, in a gig which sold out in 80 seconds. They were due to perform at TRNSMT festival in Glasgow, but their set was axed after concerns raised by police. Their tour will start in Bournemouth on November 14 before moving on to Liverpool, Newcastle and Glasgow. Kneecap will also perform in London at the previously announced show at OVO Arena Wembley on September 18.

Ex Rangers boss Steven Gerrard becomes a grandad as daughter gives birth to first child
Lilly Gerrard, daughter of former Liverpool FC captain Steven Gerrard, has announced the birth of her first child with her boyfriend Lee Byrne. Steven Gerrard, 45, has became a grandad as his daughter Lily, 21, has announced the birth of her newborn baby. The Liverpool FC star will undoubtedly be overjoyed to welcome the new family member. Lilly Gerrard announced the adorable news on Instagram, posting a black and white photo of partner Lee Byrne, holding the baby carrier in the obligatory snap. The sweet photo was captioned: "@Leebyrne 2 becomes 3," alongside a pink heart and baby emoji. Although the gender hasn't officially been announced, the pink heart strongly indicates the couple have welcomed a baby girl. Lilly first delighted her followers with the announcement she was set to become a first-time mum back in January. Sharing her excitement for what lies ahead, she has kept her fans updated with the whole journey. When Lilly first announced her pregnancy on Instagram, she couldn't contain her joy, exclaiming: "Our little secret. The best news, mini us is on the way." Lilly and her partner Lee have been together for over two years, after first confirming their relationship official back in 2022 in Ibiza, reports the Mirror. As the arrival of their little one grew closer, they have both been busy gathering everything together. A month before they welcomed their bundle of joy, Lilly gave a sneak preview into her preparations on her Instagram including a shopping trolley which was packed with all the essentials such as nappies, baby wipes, and creams, as she wrote "nesting mode". The couple have celebrated becoming parents for the first time with the likes of 'mama' and 'papa' mugs, and have even purchased a pregnancy journal to document all the milestones. Following her pregnancy announcement back in January earlier this year, Lilly has been flooded with support. Her dad, football legend Steven Gerrard, was quick to share a touching message on his daughter's social media post that announced the baby news. He wrote: "We can't wait. Great news and congratulations we love you." Gerrard is no stranger to sharing family moments with his followers, often showcasing his love for his children online. The 21-year-old influencer recently graced Instagram with two snaps cradling her baby bump, alongside the caption 'Almost there'. Lilly's relationship with Lee Byrne, whose father is the notorious Irish criminal Liam Byrne, has been public since October 2022 and initially sparked controversy. Alex, Lilly's 42-year-old mum, also expressed her anticipation, commenting: "Can't wait." Lexie, Gerrard's second eldest at 18, echoed the sentiment, saying: "Can't wait to be a auntie." Steven and Alex have been happily married since their lavish 2007 wedding at Cliveden House in Berkshire. The couple are proud parents to four children Lily, 21, Lexie, 18, Lourdes, 13, and Lio, seven. The Gerrards have had plenty to celebrate this year, which included Lily's 21st birthday in February.
