Despite a horror run of four straight defeats under Tudor, Spurs have confirmed he will will take their press conference to preview their game at Liverpool, live on Sky Sports on Sunday.

Sky Sports News' Gary Cotterill: The mood here, frankly, is one of disbelief, certainly among fans who drive past and comment and ask me what's going on, and fans who come here to see what's going on. We saw the CEO, Vinai Venkatesham, arrive here bright and early on Wednesday. I assumed that was because Igor Tudor is staying in the hotel inside the training ground and, even though the players aren't in, they were going to have a meeting and that the Igor Tudor period would be over. But it seems not. If Tudor is sacked who will make the decision? Sky Sports News' Lyall Thomas: So, the process that took place when Thomas Frank was sacked was that the senior leadership group at Tottenham, which includes CEO Vinai Venkatesham and sporting director Johan Lange, recommended to the ownership and the board that it was time to make a change. That's certainly the process that will be followed again, but it will be the owners Vivienne and Charles Lewis who have the final say on whether or not the head coach should be changed. And there's also another interesting name in there that Spurs fans may not have heard of before, and that is Nick Beucher. He is the son-in-law of Vivienne Lewis and is said to be increasingly influential in key decisions there. So, he would also have a say. Why did Spurs decide to go with Igor Tudor in the first place? Sky Sports News' Kaveh Solhekol: I really don't know anyone in the world of football who thought he was the right man for the job. When Tottenham decided to sack Thomas Frank, what they had to do is get somebody who had experience of English football. Now, Igor Tudor, he was a good player. As a manager, he's got a pretty decent record, but there's nothing in that record that suggested he was the right man for the job, either in the short term or the long term. Look at all the other Premier League clubs who've replaced their managers this season. They all went for somebody who had experience of playing and managing in the Premier League. I do not understand why Tottenham went for Igor Tudor. It can't get any worse, can it? Sky Sports News' Gary Cotterill: Igor Tudor's appointment as the latest Tottenham Hotspur head coach was announced by Spurs on February 14, but we first became aware that he was going to be getting the job on Friday February 13. Yes, Friday the 13th. And frankly, his almost four weeks in charge has been cursed. Four games, four defeats, 14 goals conceded, the worst ever record for a Tottenham Hotspur manager. I think things can get worse; they're going to go out of the Champions League, there's very little doubt about that. They've got Liverpool away at the weekend, and then they've got Nottingham Forest in the six-pointer. They could find themselves by the international break out of the Champions League, in the relegation zone, with time running out. Who should Spurs look at next? Sky Sports News' Kaveh Solhekol: Tottenham are in a desperate situation. The most important thing is that they stay in the Premier League. To do that, they need somebody who knows the league inside out, who knows the club inside out. If I was a chief executive of Tottenham, I would be calling Tim Sherwood and Robbie Keane. That is who they need. Either one of them, I think, have what it takes to give Tottenham a fighting chance of staying up.

The level of spending at the United Kingdom's first player auction in a major professional sport represents a huge uplift in the women's game, where the top salary band in the previous system started at £15,000 in 2021 and was still capped at £65,000 last summer. The tournament has received a major cash injection after selling off stakes in all eight franchises to private investors and the new owners of the rebranded Headingley franchise, Sunrisers Leeds, went big to secure Gibson's services on the bidding floor at London's Piccadilly Lights.

Watch The Hundred live on the Sky Sports app Injury problems mean the hard-hitting all-rounder has not played for her country since October 2024, but she still ended up closing a contract worth £50,000 more than England skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt and pace bowler Lauren Bell, who had already agreed deals as pre-auction 'direct signings'. Gibson is one of 30 players who has just arrived in South Africa for an England training camp and intra-squad series and now carries the heftiest price tag of anyone there, despite her relatively junior status in the national set-up. Only two overseas players attracted bigger offers, Australia's Beth Mooney reeling in £210,000 from Trent Rockets and New Zealand's Sophie Devine fetching the same from Welsh Fire. Eighteen-year-old left-arm spinner Corteen-Coleman was also in Pretoria celebrating a remarkable result, fetching six figures from her previous franchise, Southern Brave. Corteen-Coleman became the Hundred's youngest player when she first appeared as a 16-year-old in 2024 and is a highly-rated prospect, who specialises in the powerplay overs. She has an outside chance of featuring in this summer's T20 World Cup on home soil but finds herself behind the world's number one left-armer Sophie Ecclestone and Linsey Smith in the pecking order. Smith was another big winner, taking home £100,000 from Birmingham Phoenix. Southern Brave shelled out £105,000 for pace bowler Issy Wong, while rising star Davina Perrin, who became the first woman to hit a century in the Hundred last year, was a relative bargain at £50,000 for Birmingham Phoenix as she was first to go under auctioneer Richard Madley's hammer. Lauren Winfield-Hill, who captained Oval Invincibles in 2025, was among those unsold in the first round. Women's squads have a total of £880,000 available to fill their rosters, with men's sides allowed a budget of £2.05m, with their auction taking place on Thursday. When is the 2026 edition of The Hundred? The tournament runs from Tuesday July 21 to Sunday August 16, with Sunrisers Leeds Women and MI London Men starting their title defences on day one, at The Kia Oval. Every match from the men's and women's competitions will be live on Sky Sports, including the eliminators on Friday August 14 and finals two days later, with every day seeing a women's game precede a men's fixture at the same venue. How does the tournament work? Teams play eight group games, meeting six sides once and their local rivals twice. MI London face London Spirit on two occasions, with the other home and away fixtures Sunrisers vs Giants, Rockets vs Phoenix, and Brave vs Fire. The men's and women's sides that top the league phase will qualify directly for the finals, with the sides ending second and third meeting in the eliminator to decide the table-toppers' opponents.

After Doriane Pin came out on top in a thrilling battle against Maya Weug, attention turns to who will become champion in 2026 F1 Academy creates a smooth transition from karting up the F1 feeder series ladder, with the possibility of a woman racing in F1 in the future. Martin Brundle's verdict on F1's new cars and Australian GP weekendChinese GP: UK Schedule and how to watch Sprint weekendDownload the Sky Sports app for expert analysis, best video & more📱Not got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 The last female driver to take part in an F1 weekend was F1 Academy managing director Susie Wolff for Williams at the 2014 British GP, when she took part in Practice One. Lella Lombardi is the last driver to race in the Grand Prix itself, in 1976, and she's the only woman to score points when she finished sixth at the 1975 Spanish GP. What is F1 Academy? F1 Academy was launched in November 2022 by Formula 1 with the aim of preparing and developing female drivers to enable them to progress to higher levels of competition. The category is designed to "give more access to track time, racing and testing, as well as support with technical, physical, and mental preparations". It is hoped the F1 Academy will provide the experience to progress to Formula 3, and help provide Formula 2 and Formula 1 opportunities in the future. Susie Wolff heads up the series as managing director. What car is used in F1 Academy? F1 Academy will see all drivers race in identical cars - a Tatuus T421 chassis that is also used in Formula 4. The cars are powered by turbo-charged engines supplied by Autotecnica and capable of 174 horsepower, while Pirelli supply the tyres. The cars will have a top speed of 240kph (149mph). What happened in 2025? After dominant championship-winning campaigns for Marta Garcia in 2023 and Abbi Pulling in 2024, last year provided the fiercest F1 Academy title fight yet between Doriane Pin, Maya Weug and Chloe Chambers. Pin won the main race in Shanghai to end the opening weekend as the championship leader but a second place and victory in Jeddah gave Weug the lead after two events. In Miami, Pin stuck back with a superb performance from sixth, then torrential rain cancelled the main race, meaning there were three races in Montreal. And the weekend in Canada produced huge drama with several collisions and incidents. Amid the chaos, Weug suffered electrical issues so failed to score points in two of the races and only finished sixth in the other. Pin took the championship lead and Chambers was now a title protagonist following her main race victory. On home soil at Zandvoort, Weug began to mount a championship comeback from 36 points adrift with pole position, a dominant main race win and third in the reverse grid race. The Dutch driver continued her great form into Singapore with second in the reverse grid race and a third win of the season after a last-lap overtake on Pin in mixed conditions, meaning Pin led Weug by just nine points ahead of Las Vegas finale. The season finale was anticlimactic as Weug crashed on the formation lap of the first race, which Pin won, and the French driver finished fifth in the last race to secure the title. F1 Academy 2026 line-up and teams The top three from last year's championship - Pin, Weug and Chambers - are not in this year's field since there is a two-season limit on competing in F1 Academy. F1 Academy features six teams - ART, Campos, Rodin Carlin, MP Motorsport, Prema and Hitech - each entering three cars for every event to make up an 18-strong grid. Prema are the defending teams' champions and have a new 2026 line-up in the form of Germany's Mathilda Paatz and USA's Payton Westcott. British drivers Ella Lloyd and Alisha Palmowski, who both finished last year's Drivers' Championship in the top five, return for a second campaign, as do Netherlands' Nina Gademan and Denmark's Alba Hurup Larsen. They could be among this year's title contenders, given the one year of experience. Megan Bruce, Ella Lloyd, Ella Stevens and Rachel Robertson are the four other Brits on the grid in their rookie season. F1 Academy 2026 calendar F1 Academy continues to take place on Formula 1 weekends this season with seven rounds, starting in Shanghai at the Chinese Grand Prix this weekend on March 13-15. Jeddah follows on April 17-19, before Montreal on May 22-24 and a first event at Silverstone during the British Grand Prix week on July 3-5. Following a mid-season break, Zandvoort gets the action back under way on August 21-23, before F1 Academy returns to Circuit of the Americas on October 23-25 for the first time since 2023. Las Vegas will host the final race weekend again on November 19-21. F1 Academy weekend format and points system A maximum of 39 points can be won over a race weekend by a single driver. There is normally just one practice session for the drivers to get up to speed, before heading into on Friday afternoon. Race 1 on Saturday afternoon is a reverse grid race where the top eight in Qualifying are flipped to determine the starting grid. Those who qualify ninth to 18th will start in those positions for both races. Race 2 will take place on Sunday morning with the starting grid set by the results of Qualifying. Two points are awarded for pole position and one point is given for the fastest lap in each race, if you finish in the top eight for Race 1, or top 10 for Race 2. The reverse grid race will have less points on offer, so only the top eight will score points: 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1. Race 2 uses the same points system as F1, so the top 10 will score points: 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1. Watch every round of the 2026 F1 Academy season, live on Sky Sports F1.

The YouTuber‑turned‑boxer is aiming to return to winning ways after suffering a sixth-round knockout loss to Joshua in their December 2025 bout, during which he sustained a broken jaw. Ngannou was beaten even more conclusively than Paul when he stepped into the ring with Joshua in March 2024, suffering an emphatic second‑round knockout. Boxing schedule 2026: When are the big fights?Stream boxing and more contract-free with NOWListen to the Toe2Toe podcast every weekThe best boxing highlights and videos Paul reminded Ngannou of that fact, provoking a heated response and fuelling speculation that the pair could face off in the future. "I'm down, I've always been down," Paul said at the Ronda Rousey vs Gina Carano press conference when asked if he would fight Ngannou. "You were the option before Anthony Joshua, and you ran like a duck. "I bet you didn't think I would last longer than you did with Anthony either. "You know you get worked in boxing. I would love to see us fight someday." Former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou hit back, suggesting the war of words had reached a point where it could only be settled in the ring. "You were just being a small boy, not understanding, being a little disrespectful, and that's why I want to kick your a** now," said Ngannou, who makes his MMA return against Philipe Lins on the Rousey vs Carano bill on May 16. "I really didn't want to fight you, but now I want to beat you - so there's a difference. "Let's do it. That's why I stand by the statement that I want to beat you up."

Usyk, the unified heavyweight world champion, with wins over Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua has proved himself the best in the division. Although he is now 39 years old, Usyk still plans on fighting three more times. Next the Ukrainian will box Rico Verhoeven, a kickboxing superstar, on May 23. After that Usyk wants to fight the Wardley-Dubois winner and then have a trilogy bout with his great rival Tyson Fury.

Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW For Usyk, who also holds the WBA and IBF championships, to retain his WBC title, he would have to defend against WBC Interim belt-holder Agit Kabayel. Wardley and Dubois fight for the WBO heavyweight world championship on May 9 in Manchester and their promoter Frank Warren is open for the winner to box Usyk in a unification. "We're up for that," Warren told Sky Sports. "There's a lot of frustration because Fabio wanted that [Usyk fight before]. But the fact that Oleksandr has come out and said he wants the winner of the two of them, it's very encouraging. And certainly for the two guys, it gives them a lot of incentive. "We've got a great relationship with him and if we can do some business we'll certainly do it." Warren also represents Fury and completing a Usyk trilogy remains a real possibility for the former champion. "If he comes through the fight [against Wardley or Dubois], that he then wants to fight Tyson, I love that fight. The first two fights were close, very exciting fights, really exciting fights, I'd watch that all day long. And Tyson wants that fight. He's told me on numerous occasions he'd love that fight," Warren said. For Fury fighting Usyk this year is potentially more likely than boxing Anthony Joshua. "I don't know where AJ is, obviously we've spoken a lot about the terrible tragedy and the loss of his good friends, best friends and team members," Warren reflected. "People have got to remember about the injuries that he's suffered. He's suffered physical injures but he's also suffered mental injuries in that fight. Maybe boxing, the fact of fighting will get him in a better place, I don't know. "I don't see him fighting this year, or this year against Tyson. I may be wrong and I hope I am wrong but I don't believe he will." The division, though, will remain active with Usyk's three-fight plan likely to come to fruition. "This heavyweight division, as I keep saying, it's alight," Warren added. "They're great fights and we're front and centre in it. We are making the fights." Fury: I can't beat Usyk on points Fury has reiterated his desire to fight Usyk a third time, but has claimed that he will not receive a points win after losing on the scorecards in their two previous fights. Speaking to Gareth A Davies from the Daily Telegraph, Fury said: "I want a third fight but I know if he stands up at the end of it I'm not going to get the decision, they may as well just give him the fight, I'll have the L, just give me the money. "That's what is going to happen anyway if I don't knock him out, and if I were going to knock him out I would have done already. He's a tough man and every time he gets hurt he can nip round and run away with his speed and agility. I'm not going to get a decision, and like I said I thought I won the fights." The 37-year-old has sparred Verhoeven in the past and believes the Dutchman has 'got a chance' of pulling off a sensational upset win. "Before he [Rico Verhoeven] became a champion, before I became a champion, we were on the rise, hungry lions. We both went on to do a lot in the game, as champions of the world," said Fury. "He's a big man, big right hand, but I'm sure Usyk has faced lots of big men with a similar style to Rico. He's got a chance, he's got power, who knows what he can do in there. "Usyk is what, 39-years-old now, but has only had 24 fights so doesn't have a lot of mileage on the clock after turning pro in late 2013, so I think he's going to be alright."
