April 6, 2023 Meet The 41-Year-Old Who Became Boxing World Champion In Just Five Fights

Meet The 41-Year-Old Who Became Boxing World Champion In Just Five Fights

Nina Hughes' ascent to the top of women's boxing has been nothing short of remarkable.

Despite being a 41-year-old mother of two who works part-time as a secretary to support her children, she became the WBA bantamweight champion in November 2022 after just five professional fights, outpointing Jamie Mitchell in Dubai.

However, Hughes' journey to this point has not been as quick as it may seem. She has been boxing for over 15 years, starting with boxercise classes at the age of 25 for fitness purposes only.

It wasn't until her coach convinced her to spar and eventually compete that she realized her potential.

After moving to a women's gym, Hughes had a successful amateur career that led her to the British squad, where she traveled the world for tournaments alongside fighters like Nicola Adams, who eventually won gold at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics.

While Hughes missed out on the chance to compete in London due to her lack of experience, she felt that opportunities for female boxers to turn professional were limited, so she quit boxing and had two children.

She only boxed as a hobby to lose weight, but her passion for the sport never wavered.

After the 2020 coronavirus lockdown, which saw a surge in televised female fights, Hughes decided to give professional boxing another try and joined the Newlands gym in Wickford, where she made history by becoming the WBA bantamweight champion.

April 6, 2023 Chelsea To Appoint Lampard As Interim Manager

Chelsea To Appoint Lampard As Interim Manager

Frank Lampard, the former Chelsea and England midfielder, is expected to be named interim manager of Chelsea until the end of the season, just over two years after the club sacked him.

Lampard has been without a job since being dismissed by Everton in January, less than a year after taking charge.

The 44-year-old previously managed Chelsea from July 2019 until January 2021, when he was replaced by Thomas Tuchel.

Graham Potter, Tuchel's successor, was sacked on Sunday, prompting Lampard's potential return to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea currently sit 11th in the Premier League, and despite having spent more than £550m on new players this season, they are 14 points outside the top four.

Lampard's previous tenure at the club saw him guide Chelsea to the FA Cup final in his first season, with 44 wins from 84 matches, but five defeats in his last eight league games led to his sacking.

He was subsequently appointed Everton boss in January 2022 but was sacked eight days shy of his one-year anniversary in the role after a run of nine defeats in 12 Premier League games.

Chelsea face Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday and Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on 12 April.

April 3, 2023 Jurgen Klopp Says He Is Still Liverpool Manager ‘Because Of The Past, Not This Season’

Jurgen Klopp Says He Is Still Liverpool Manager ‘Because Of The Past, Not This Season’

Liverpool Manager Klopp Says He Remains in His Position Due to Past Performance Rather Than Current Season Results

Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager, has stated that his job is secure due to the team's past performance rather than their current standings.

With Brendan Rodgers and Graham Potter both being dismissed, the Premier League has now had 12 managers sacked this season.

Liverpool is at risk of their worst league finish under Klopp, with the team currently in eighth place, but Klopp's job remains secure.

Klopp has led Liverpool to win club football's major honours during his seven and a half years at Anfield, making him the longest-serving manager in the Premier League.

Despite losing their past three games in all competitions, Klopp is confident in his team's position and their owners' understanding of the situation. Klopp added that he is here to deliver, not as a talisman or for murals on house walls.

Although he is aware that he is still in his position due to what has happened in the past few years, Klopp stated that he does not like relying on that fact and is curious about what the future holds.

Potter Exit Sad For All At Chelsea- Bruno

Following Graham Potter's dismissal on Sunday, Chelsea's interim head coach Bruno Saltor has expressed that it has been a challenging 24 hours for everyone involved.

Potter and his assistant coach Billy Reid have departed the club after only 31 games, with Bruno taking over team affairs.

As part of Potter's coaching staff at Brighton, Bruno and Reid joined Chelsea with him last September.

In light of the recent changes, Bruno, a 42-year-old Spanish coach, stated that the experience has been emotionally difficult for everyone involved, and it has been challenging to deal with press conferences and players.

Furthermore, Bruno emphasized the impact of the changes on the staff and their families and expressed his sadness for losing two top coaches and human beings.

Despite the difficulties, Bruno is maintaining a professional approach, focusing on guiding the players and going day by day.

When Chelsea announced the changes, they stated that Potter has "agreed to collaborate with the club to facilitate a smooth transition."

Bruno, a former Brighton defender, explained that this probably means he is there to keep the process going, and they are collaborating as best they can.

Bruno praised Graham Potter for his outstanding work and acknowledged that football is a complex business that requires everyone to keep moving forward.
