England star fumes 'this is why I hate London' after his car is broken into
Striker Ivan Toney is back in London during his summer break playing for Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli.
But it seems he had less than a warm welcome after returning to his parked car to find it had been broken into.
Ivan shared a picture of his black car on Instagram, which had its front and rear windows shattered by thieves.
Alongside the picture was a simple message: 'This is why I hate London.'
During his return to the capital, Ivan was pictured with fellow footballers Noni Madueke and Jadon Sancho at Wireless Festival in Finsbury Park.
It's not known whether thieves managed to steal anything from the car.
Ivan joined Al-Ahli from Brentford last year in a deal worth £40million, and he's scored 30 goals in his debut season with them. More Trending
Despite his damaged car causing some inconvenience, it's still up in the air whether he'll return to London and retain his place in the England squad in September.
Ivan was called in to play in England's matches against Andorra and Senegal in June, but he stayed on the bench during the 1-0 win over Andorra, and only played for a few minutes in the 3-1 defeat to Senegal.
England's next match will be held at Wembley Stadium and the team will take on Andorra again.
In September England will play Serbia, and in October they will play Wales and Latvia.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THERE are plenty of new faces at Rangers' training ground this summer amid major changes at the club. But there's also been a surprise appearance from an iconic footballing figure at the Ibrox club's Milngavie base. 2 Legendary footie boss Sir Alex Ferguson Credit: Getty 2 Sir Alex has been at the Rangers training ground Credit: INSTAGRAM/@NICDOC11 Russell Martin's Rangers squad have been back in pre-season training for almost a month and they're just a week away from the real stuff getting started. The Light Blues face Panathinaikos in a crunch Champions League qualifier at Ibrox next Tuesday. New boss Martin has seven new players at his disposal, with winger Djeidi Gassama the latest new recruit. There's been plenty of change on the women's team too with boss Jo Potter leaving her role. They've also bid farewell to key players including Kirsty Maclean, Chelsea Cornet, Tessel Middag and Jane Ross. There has, of course, also been the US takeover of the club. But amid all of that change, a VERY familiar face has been spotted at the training centre. None other than Sir Alex Ferguson. The footie great, 83, of course had a two-year spell as a Rangers player - his boyhood club - between 1967 and 1969. Sir Alex is of course much more famous for a glittering managerial career, in which he led Aberdeen to league title and European glory before going on to become the greatest Manchester United boss ever. Rangers boss Russell Martin opens up on transfer plans as he delivers updates on Dessers and Igamane Govan-born Fergie has made the odd trip back to Ibrox in recent years. In fact, he was a guest of honour just last month when he was given the honour of a tour at the Rangers Museum. During his walk around the New Edmiston House shrine, Sir Alex spotted a letter he'd written to Dick Advocaat after the Gers' treble triumph back in 1999. Just a few weeks on, Sir Alex has been back at Rangers AGAIN. Rangers Women captain Nicola Docherty shared a picture of herself alongside the legendary boss in the training centre. Buzzing Docherty posted the snap to her Instagram stories and said: "Met a legend today, Sir Alex!" She also added: "His greatest quote - 'there was no way I could contemplate taking the England job. Can you imagine me doing that? A Scotsman? 'I always joked that I would take the position and relegate them: make them 150th rated country in the world, with Scotland 149'." Ferguson revealed in his autobiography that he HAD been offered the chance to become England manager during his career. Exactly what he was doing at the Rangers training centre remains to be seen.

Tyson Fury told to forget about boxing return after Oleksandr Usyk defeats
Fury recently announced his return to the ring - but a boxing legend is adamant the two-time world champion will never come back British boxing icon Amir Khan has cast doubt on Tyson Fury 's return to the ring after suffering consecutive defeats at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk. Fury faced off against Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight crown in May 2024, where he was narrowly edged out by a split decision. In their rematch seven months later, despite an improved performance from Fury, Usyk once again emerged victorious on points. Just a few weeks after the second bout, the 'Gypsy King' announced his retirement, but over the last few months, he has hinted at a potential return to the ring. Earlier this month, Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh confirmed Fury's boxing comeback, posted: "The 'Gypsy King' will be back! ! ! I talked with him, and I have his word to have him in Riyadh Season in 2026. We have a rabbit to hunt!" Despite this announcement, Khan remains sceptical about Fury's return to action. In a chat with Genting Casino, the ex-light-welterweight world champ expressed his doubts: "I don't think Tyson Fury will ever come back in my opinion. I don't think he'll come back. If he fights Usyk, I think Usyk wins that fight easily again. Maybe easier than the last two," reports All Out Fighting. 'Usyk has got his number, he just knows how to beat him and how to do well against him. Usyk obviously has the confidence and then you've got Tyson going off and being inactive. Usyk is still active, he's still training, still fighting, whereas with Tyson he's taking too much time out, and you're only getting older and slower, you're aging. You're not performing the same. And that's when ring rust is going to kick in as well.' It seems as if both Fury and Usyk will clash for a third time following Alalshikh's post that the latter will be making a stunning comeback in 2026. After going 24 rounds with the Ukrainian, the 'Gypsy King' remains adamant that he at least won the rematch back in December. 'My last fight was a clear f****** victory for The Gypsy King. Anybody in boxing can see that. A complete load of dogs ***," he said. 'I want a fair fight, I don't want any favours, I want a fair fight and a fair result. Which I know I didn't [get]. I thought I won it by five rounds. I watched it 250 times. Each way I never see it as a way for him to win. They can do what they want. If they say it's Tuesday it's Tuesday.' When is Tyson Fury's next fight? Following the announcement of his return to the ring, British boxing sensation Fury revealed that his third bout with Usyk is set for 18 April 2026 at Wembley Stadium. The 36-year-old shared a fight poster featuring him and the Ukrainian on Instagram, captioning it: "April 18, 2026 Wembley Stadium. The trilogy! UK. contact @spencerbrownmrgoldstar for tickets." In response to Fury's post, Sergey Lapin, head of Team Usyk and CEO of Ready To Fight, issued a statement: "The idea of a third fight with Tyson Fury has been on the table between our teams ever since their second bout. And I have never had any doubt that, together with Goldstar Promotions, we could turn it into a reality." He continued: "Right now, both Oleksandr Usyk and our team are fully focused on the upcoming fight with Dubois on July 19 and on achieving the historic goal of becoming a three-time undisputed world champion. As you've probably noticed, focus and total commitment are at the core of the champion's and the team's strategy. When this goal - three-time undisputed - is accomplished, and the dust settles, we'll be open for the next round."
