Anthony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn gave short shrift to claims that Tyson Fury might have tampered with his gloves against Deontay Wilder.

Mark Breland threw in the towel in the seventh round to save his fighter from further punishment.
That was the American’s first defeat of his decorated professional career.
But his fans haven’t taken the loss well and have sensationally claimed that the Gypsy King’s hands weren’t fully inside his gloves.
In videos posted on social media, clips from both their fights allege his gloves were ‘flapping’ when they connected repeatedly with the former WBC champion’s face.
Hearn laughed when the suggestion was put to him.

It had been hoped that Hearn could help broker a deal to make an undisputed all-British title fight between Joshua and Fury.
However, Wilder has decided to enact his rematch clause, meaning that dream bout can’t take place for the foreseeable future.
Fury is expected to complete his trilogy with the Bronze Bomber this summer.
That means AJ is likely to fight his mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev in June at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

It 's the love of that 'baby phase ' that has kept Claire , now , 39 , yearning for more .
If it was n't for a breast cancer diagnosis in December - and the treatment she 's now having - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more children .
Despite the anxiety that followed her stillbirth and the premature arrival of her twins , who came five weeks early , her pregnancies were straightforward , with just the usual morning sickness .
`` We did n't plan on having so many , '' said Claire .
`` But we did n't stop it either .
We were quite laid back really and the children always asked me to have another one too .
`` I loved getting a bump and feeling movements .
It was probably a bit of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stage .
`` I think as soon as the youngest starts to walk and talk and is able to answer back , that 's when I want another baby - one who ca n't answer back '' she laughed .
`` I would like another girl , because my youngest girl is now eight , but I ca n't because of the health problems . ''

By the time the kids get home from school each day , she 's got tomorrow 's uniform hung on the back of the living room door ready to go .

`` They 're quite good at helping out really , '' Claire said .
`` The older boys might just chuck it down but generally they all do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which can happen a lot , I just want to cry .
`` We do have to work as a team or else it just does n't work .
Sunday is the day when we pull everything out and do a big clean and it 's the day we get the homework done too .
`` Creative homework is the worst , it does get a bit messy and I 've had to ask another mum for help carrying things to school before now if it 's been a big project they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said that bath time is 'like a conveyor belt ' with the kids taking it in turns to jump in either the bath or the shower .
`` I 'll run the bath for one and then when one is in the bath another will get in the shower and it 'll just carry on like that until they 're all done , '' said Claire .
She helps things run smoothly by making sure each of the children has a full set of uniform to last the whole week .
The younger @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jumpers and trousers washed and ironed ready for a Monday .

Now unable to work since her cancer diagnosis , Claire has done part-time jobs around the children whenever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cleaning last year - and Chris works full time manufacturing frames at Shepley Windows in Dukinfield .
The child benefit cap , which means families can now only claim it for up two children , was n't brought in until after her children were born so Claire gets £102 a week for the youngest seven .

When the Conservatives value ideological madness over common sense , it is always going to end in tears .
Those who have lost their loved ones are entitled to be furious .
Home Secretary Priti Patel is accused by her top civil servant of being a shouting , swearing , bullying boss – behaviour that , if true , demeans her high office .
The extraordinary public conflict between the minister and her departed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in return for his silence – is more than a Whitehall spat .

Destroying the service was a fatal mistake, and reversing this foolish commercialisation of public protection will come too late for those already grieving over lost loved ones.
Of all Chris Grayling’s blunders, and there were many, privatising the probation service while he was Justice Secretary ranks among the very worst.
He ignored the warnings with a deafness the Tories still apply in other areas – from the pain of Universal Credit to the compelling case for the renationalisation of the railways.
Expensive mistakes are harder to take when those failures were predicted.
When the Conservatives value ideological madness over common sense, it is always going to end in tears.
Those who have lost their loved ones are entitled to be furious.
Uncivil war
Home Secretary Priti Patel is accused by her top civil servant of being a shouting, swearing, bullying boss – behaviour that, if true, demeans her high office.
The extraordinary public conflict between the minister and her departed permanent secretary – who rejected a pay-off in return for his silence – is more than a Whitehall spat.
It is a glimpse into the disturbing culture of Boris Johnson’s government, a regime in which politicians and special advisers act as if normal standards of behaviour do not apply.
The Prime Minister may soon find the entire Whitehall machine grinding to a halt.
Because in all organisations, if the head fails to take people with them, they’ll find they are against them. And deservedly so.
Flood & tears
The heartache of the flood victims whose homes are swamped must be unbearable.
Their misery is why the Government must build better defences and fix a climate crisis.

Six , seven , eight ... 21 ?
The number of children Boris Johnson has fathered in and out of wedlock might not really matter if the cynical liar wasn ’ t forever playing fast and loose with the truth .
His 40 new hospitals are really six , while his 50,000 more nurses are only 31,000 .
The £350million- a-week extra for the NHS myth clinched Brexit but was a fiction that came from a dishonest over-fertile imagination .
Third wife-to-be Carrie Symonds is a useful human shield , as No10 announced her pregnancy and looming nuptials to deflect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Priti Patel bullying crises .
The discarded first two Mrs Johnsons know what she is marrying but it is the lazily incompetent Prime Minister ’ s public performance which causes the gravest concern .
Jeremy Corbyn ’ s “ part-time Prime Minister ” jibe has proved right , as Johnson could not be bothered to chair a Cobra session on the coronavirus until today .
Downing Street ’ s frantic insistence that the boss likes to delegate is a transparent excuse rather than a reasonable explanation .
When there ’ s credit , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s a problem , he vanishes .
The Johnson joke is on the voters who the charlatan now takes for granted , including those in the blue brick Tory seats in Labour ’ s red wall .
But playing the fool isn ’ t funny when people ’ s lives and livelihoods are at stake .
Imprisoned Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe might have spent last night at home with her husband and her daughter had Johnson thought before opening his mouth as Foreign Secretary .
David Cameron ’ s former aide Kate Fall recalls Johnson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to win a second term as London mayor but remembering only three of his points .
Disorganised as he was , Johnson won the capital ’ s poll .

thedailymirror--2020-03-01--Six Nations Sky deal risks supporters' wrath with chiefs open to paywall future

Six Nations chiefs were last night given a glimpse of the fury they can expect if they opt to go behind a paywall with their new TV rights deal .
The tournament is the jewel in rugby ’ s crown , accessible to every household in the land through it ’ s free-to-air deal with BBC and ITV .
So a claim that the championship could be lost from terrestrial TV in a new £300 million deal has gone down very badly with many .
Former England prop Jeff Probyn led the chorus of disapproval , saying : “ My @ @ @ @ @ @ @ news were the Six Nations to agree to sell to pay-to-view as it would reduce exposure of the game at a time when it is already in decline.
” Last year ’ s Six Nations campaign saw more than 80 per cent of the total TV watching audience in Wales tune in to see Alun Wyn Jones ’ men clinch the Grand Slam .

With the existing TV contract running out in 2021 reports of a £300million deal have gone down very badly
Six Nations chiefs were last night given a glimpse of the fury they can expect if they opt to go behind a paywall with their new TV rights deal.
The tournament is the jewel in rugby’s crown, accessible to every household in the land through it’s free-to-air deal with BBC and ITV.
So a claim that the championship could be lost from terrestrial TV in a new £300 million deal has gone down very badly with many.
Former England prop Jeff Probyn led the chorus of disapproval, saying: “My view is that it would be bad news were the Six Nations to agree to sell to pay-to-view as it would reduce exposure of the game at a time when it is already in decline.”

Last year’s Six Nations campaign saw more than 80 per cent of the total TV watching audience in Wales tune in to see Alun Wyn Jones’ men clinch the Grand Slam.
The existing deal runs out in 2021 and a report in The Rugby Paper claims joint bids are not this time being permitted - opening the door, potentially, to Sky securing the biggest rights contract in rugby history.

thedailymirror--2020-03-01--Jurgen Klopp sends message to Liverpool players after Watford defeat

Jurgen Klopp has told Liverpool to restore factory settings and get their Treble bid back on track at Chelsea tomorrow night .
The Kop 's hopes of going through a whole Premier League campaign unbeaten went up in smoke with a shock 3-0 defeat at lowly Watford .
And manager Klopp shrugged off the disappointment of a horror show at Vicarage Road by insisting : “ We can start again.

But despite glaring evidence to the contrary , Klopp claimed they had not breezed into Watford with glib complacency , saying : “ We ’ ve never estimated the situation wrongly .
We never thought it ’ s easy .
“ These boys are working constantly , extremely hard .
If you win , do it in the right manner and if you lose , take it like a man – but defeat feels exceptionally average .
“ From time to time , if you are not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ restart .
Maybe the longer the ( unbeaten ) run goes , it becomes more important .
“ But now it is over .
We can start again with whatever we did before - and we will .
We can not say now we will react in this way or that .
We have to show it in the next games .
“ You can not win the amount of games the boys have done if they are easily influenced by the outside world , and we will see how they react but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ve never won 18 games in a row and didn ’ t lose 44 .
First time in my life .
How they react we shall see.
” Asked if the error-strewn display might prove a timely kick up the backside ahead of tomorrow night 's FA Cup fifth round tie at Chelsea and next week 's Champions League return leg with Atletico Madrid , Klopp shrugged : “ Yeah , why not ?
Why not ?
“ But none of us has just lost for the first time in our lives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Still you don ’ t want to have it .
The reaction you can hope for .
We shall see in the next games.
” Defender Andy Robertson offered a humble apology to Liverpool fans for the manner in which their 'Invincibles ' dream evaporated , saying : “ It ’ s up to us to now show that this defeat hurts and put a run together that will crown us champions.
” “ It ’ s a performance that has not been expected for a number of years by the fans and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s up to us to bounce back .
“ Up to this point it has still been a fantastic season but today we weren ’ t at the races , we weren ’ t the Liverpool that everyone has watched.

What on earth were they doing in the relegation zone when they can dismantle the champions -in-waiting so comprehensively in front of their biggest crowd for 32 years?
Two-goal record signing Ismaila Sarr is so quick he can catch pigeons, while skipper Deeney - who completed the rout - should be on England's radar this summer as an alternative target man if he can rough up the country's meanest defence.
Liverpool, who took their medicine with class, deserve only our admiration for an unbeaten run spanning 422 days, but for once they ticked all the wrong boxes.
They were strolling, complacent, pedestrian, lethargic. And hopeless.
Kop messiah Jurgen Klopp's holy trinity of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah – 105 goals in their previous 69 starts as a three-line whip – was non-existent.

Liverpool simply couldn't handle Sarr's electrifying power surges. In 2017, the Senegal winger once turned down a move to Barcelona as a 19-year-old because he thought he would be stuck on the bench. It would cost them £75 million to get him now.
And it is of no consolation to Klopp that Sarr worships Mane as his role model, saying: “Sadio is not only a Senegal team-mate – he is my inspiration and my idol.
