Eubank, Benn set for rematch in September
Chris Eubank and Conor Benn will battle it out again on September 20 after agreeing to a rematch to a contentious bout won by Eubank in April. Over three decades on from when their fathers Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn first fought, Eubank won by unanimous decision at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The same venue has been touted again to host the event, but promoter Eddie Hearn has suggested the 90,000 capacity Wembley as a possibility. Hearn told Ring magazine: 'Spurs is contracted - it's a fantastic stadium and it worked extremely well the first time. READ | Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. ends with a unanimous victory to Paul 'Obviously, it was sold out and this fight's even bigger, so you could possibly look at Wembley to increase the capacity.' All three judges scored the contest 116-112, with neither man able to land the telling blow, as Benn suffered the first defeat of his professional career. 'Experience gained, lessons learned,' said Benn in a post on social media after the rematch was confirmed. Eubank Sr defeated Nigel Benn in 1990 in a world middleweight title fight before a draw three years later. The sons were scheduled to face each other in 2022 but the fight was cancelled because Benn failed two drugs tests. Benn, who has denied intentional doping, was subsequently cleared to fight.

Cards complete 3-game sweep of Guardians with 7-0 victory
CLEVELAND — Nolan Gorman belted a three-run homer, Victor Scott II had a two-run shot and Matthew Liberatore won his career-high third straight start and the St. Louis Cardinals rolled to a 7-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. HT Image Gorman went deep in the first inning off Logan Allen , while Scott homered off Hunter Gaddis in the seventh to extend the Cardinals' lead to 5-0. Pedro Pagés and Garrett Hampson added RBIs in the eighth. St. Louis has won six straight on the road, its longest run under fourth-year manager Oliver Marmol. The Cardinals completed their initial series sweep of Cleveland by a 21-6 margin in the three-game set. Liberatore tossed six innings, striking out five while allowing three hits and five walks. JoJo Romero, Riley O'Brien and John King wrapped up the combined three-hitter that included eight bases on balls. Allen gave up three runs in six innings for Cleveland, which went 1-5 on its homestand and fell two games below .500 for the first time since April 8. Guardians shortstop Gabriel Arias was taken off the field on a cart after sustaining a left ankle sprain in the third, but X-rays of his lower leg were negative. He caught his left spikes on the grass while going into the hole to field a grounder by Masyn Winn. With two outs in the first and Winn and Willson Contreras aboard, Gorman hammered Allen's sweeper 428 feet into the right-center field stands. Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado singled in the third for his 1,900th hit and had his 400th double in the sixth. He was removed for 'cautionary reasons' in the eighth, according to the team. Cardinals: RHP Erick Fedde starts the opener of a three-game series Monday in Pittsburgh. Guardians: RHP Gavin Williams pitches Tuesday to begin a three-game set at the Chicago Cubs.

Lando Norris holds off Oscar Piastri to win Formula 1's Austrian Grand Prix
In the week when the 'F1' movie hit theaters, Formula 1 delivered some real-life cinematic moments of its own. Teammates fought for the lead and came close to colliding as Lando Norris held off a race-long challenge from his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri to win the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday (June 29) and lift his title hopes. Norris and Piastri battled for the lead early on, with the Australian briefly into the lead before Norris took the position back. A rash lunge by Piastri nearly caused a collision soon after. Piastri lost ground at the pit stops and was run wide onto the grass by Alpine's Franco Colapinto while cutting through traffic. He soon made up ground on Norris but couldn't get close enough to try another overtake. Over the radio, Norris called it a 'beautiful one-two' finish for the team. 'We had a great battle, that's for sure,' he added later. "A lot of stress, but a lot of fun. A nice battle, so well done to Oscar." They next head to Norris' home race on July 6 in Britain, the halfway point of the season. More than ever this season, the title fight focuses on the two McLarens after defending champion Max Verstappen was hit by Kimi Antonelli on the opening lap, ending his race. Overall leader Piastri leads second-placed Norris by 15 points, with Verstappen still third but now 61 points off the lead. He told broadcaster Sky Sports after the race that he hoped the incident would at least mean fewer questions about his title chances. Two weeks after Norris apologised to McLaren for colliding with Piastri in Canada, it was Piastri's turn to say sorry to the team for a near-collision between the two drivers on Sunday. The Australian also said he regretted not making more of his few seconds in the lead earlier in the race. 'I hope it was good watching because it was pretty hard work from the car,' Piastri said. 'I tried my absolute best and probably could have done a better job when I just got ahead momentarily." Piastri added later that he was 'probably pushing the limits a bit much from my side once or twice but we're fighting for race wins in Formula 1. It's going to be pretty tough." Charles Leclerc was third for his third podium finish in four races, with his Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton fourth. George Russell, who won the last race in Canada, was fifth for Mercedes and Liam Lawson sixth for Racing Bulls in his best result of the season. Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin held off Sauber's Gabriel Bortoleto for seventh in a late-race battle between two drivers who know each other well off track. Two-time champion Alonso has guided the Brazilian's career through his management company. Bortoleto was able to celebrate his first points finish in his rookie season, leaving Colapinto and the driver he replaced at Alpine, Jack Doohan, as the only competitors without any points in 2025. The second Sauber of Nico Hulkenberg was ninth and Esteban Ocon finished 10th for Haas.
