Devin Haney is making moves off the canvas as well as on it. The reigning WBO welterweight champion has agreed to a multi-fight deal with DAZN, with his next bout set against Keyshawn Davis. It's a massive signing for the platform as it continues building a serious American boxing footprint.
Across the Atlantic, the transfer market is in full swing and English midfielders are suddenly the hottest commodity in football. Elliot Anderson and Morgan Rogers have each shattered the record for the most expensive British player ever, with Anderson's jaw-dropping one hundred and sixteen million pound move from Nottingham Forest to Manchester City leading the charge. Chelsea followed suit snapping up Rogers, and now Arsenal are reportedly the frontrunners to land Bournemouth's twenty-two-year-old Alex Scott in a deal worth around forty million pounds, with Manchester United also in the race and a decision expected soon.
Back stateside, the Boston Red Sox saw a remarkable run come to an end, dropping to the Baltimore Orioles and snapping their fifteen-game winning streak, one win short of a brand new franchise record. Fifteen straight is still the second-longest such run of the decade, so Boston fans have plenty to feel good about even in defeat.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
