December 30, 2019 West Ham appoint David Moyes as manager for second time

West Ham appoint David Moyes as manager for second time

Struggling West Ham on Sunday, appointed David Moyes as manager for the second time in a bid to safeguard their place in the Premier League.

Moyes, whose career has never recovered from a deeply unsuccessful spell as Manchester United boss in 2013-14, succeeds Manuel Pellegrini, who was sacked after a 2-1 defeat to Leicester on Saturday that left the Hammers just one point above the relegation zone.

The 56-year-old has been without a club since leaving West Ham after a six-month spell in the 2017-18 season.

Moyes guided West Ham to safety that season after Slaven Bilic was dismissed in early November and will be tasked with doing the same for a second time.

“It’s fabulous to be back,” said Moyes in a club statement.

“I’m feeling very proud that I’m back here at West Ham. But I think more importantly I’ll be looking to see what I can do and what I can make improvements to.

“I do believe that the squad of players I’ve got here is a better squad of players than when I took over before, so I am looking forward to working with them.”

The West Ham hierarchy were keen to make a swift appointment following Pellegrini’s sacking ahead of Wednesday’s crucial clash with fellow strugglers Bournemouth at the London Stadium.

December 24, 2019 Anthony Joshua to defend titles in 2020

Anthony Joshua to defend titles in 2020

Anthony Joshua could be forced to vacate either his WBO or IBF world heavyweight belts after both organisations named mandatory challengers.

Former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk is the WBO’s mandatory, while the IBF named Kubrat Pulev as theirs.

Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn wants his fighter to defend both belts, with a view to securing a unification bout with either Deontay Wilder or Tyson Fury but the Matchroom chief has revealed that one of the titles may need to be vacated.

December 23, 2019 Daniel Tells Wilder, Joshua: I’m Coming For You

Daniel Tells Wilder, Joshua: I’m Coming For You

Daniel Dubois sent one final terrifying message to 2020’s heavyweight world champions,Deintay Wilder and Anthony Joshua: ‘I am coming for you’.

The 22-year-old Greenwich starlet destroyed Japanese hardman Kyotaro Fujimoto in round two of their Copper Box clash, with one of the most devastating single punches of the year.

That means the Peacock Gym prodigy ends 2019 well up the rankings of the WBA, WBO and WBC and close to world title shot.

Once Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder settle their differences with two more fights to complete their trilogy in February and the summer – and Anthony Joshua handles his two mandatories – Dynamite Dubois will be blowing down their door.

Dubois said: “After the first couple of shots, I thought I would pace myself.

“I knew I had the power, I was confident about what I was going to do.

“I landed a sweet shot, and that was goodnight.

“If I keep collecting these nice belts, I won’t be too far from a world title shot, I just have to walk the path.

A vicious lead left-hook was Joe Frazieresque and an assault to the body would have folded a weaker man.

Fujimoto stood tall and left himself open to a sickening right hand that collapsed him entirely.

The medics dived into the ring before the referee even officially called off the fight and Dubois’ worried trainer Martin Bowers pushed his star pupil back into the corner to calm the celebrations, as their latest victim lay stricken and needing oxygen.

Thankfully the dazed and confused fighter rose to his feet and left of his own accord, unlikely to fancy returning in a hurry.
