Bahrain Defeat Slovenian Club 3-1 in Friendly Win

The match was Bahrain's second friendly of the camp, following a 1-3 loss to Croatia's NK Istra 1961. Their final test will be against Slovenian First League side NK Primorje on Tuesday. Coach Dragan Talajic fielded a completely rotated starting lineup, showing depth across the 28-man squad as they prepare for November's FIFA Arab Cup qualifier against Djibouti.

Usyk Knocks Out Dubois in Fifth to Reclaim Undisputed Title
TDT | Manama Oleksandr Usyk delivered a fifth-round knockout of Britain's Daniel Dubois on Saturday night in London, reclaiming the undisputed heavyweight championship in emphatic style. The Ukrainian star dropped Dubois twice in the fifth, first with an overhand right, then with a devastating left hand that ended the fight at Wembley Stadium. With the win, Usyk retained his WBC, WBA, and WBO titles, and reclaimed the IBF belt he vacated last year. His perfect record now stands at 24-0. Usyk, 38, put on a counter-punching clinic despite giving up size and age, dancing around Dubois and landing at will throughout the early rounds. After the fight, Usyk hinted at a possible third clash with Tyson Fury but said he first plans to rest and spend time with family. Dubois, meanwhile, vowed to return, saying: 'Take no credit away from that man. I'll be back.'
