Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois' fight is stirring echoes of the animosity which stalked Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno - when bitter British rivals came to verbal and physical blows, writes JEFF POWELL
JEFF POWELL: The insults fell as heavily as the rain on the stadium and as fast as the punches in the ring. The memories are being sharpened this weekend by the first domestic heavyweight fight approaching comparable magnitude with that storm-tossed night in Wales 31 years ago. This Saturday's IBF world title fight between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois at Wembley is stirring echoes of the animosity which stalked Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno as they came to verbal as well as physical blows in the old Cardiff Arms Park on October 1 1993. Joshua has stoked the fires for his challenge for the IBF belt inherited by Dubois from Oleksandr Usyk by picking up and brandishing a chair in retaliatory anger when the younger London taunted him on a TV promo by saying: 'Let's do it right here.'

As Ange Postecoglou feels the heat at Tottenham, SAMI MOKBEL reveals what the dressing room mood is REALLY like, what's changing to fix their big set-piece problem - and why two key summer transfers fell through
Ange Postecoglou spent his summer holidaying in the sweltering Greek islands where temperatures can reach 86 degrees.

The sad news broke on Wednesday morning that former Italy striker Salvatore 'Toto' Schillaci had passed away at the age of 59 following a battle with colon cancer.

That tournament brings back such wonderful memories. Luciano Pavarotti's spine-tingling rendition of 'Nessun Dorma', Colombia's eccentric goalkeeper Rene Higuita thinking he could play in midfield before quickly finding out he couldn't, and even England were pretty good.

Jamie Carragher names his all-time Liverpool XI, with only two former team-mates and two of Arne Slot's team making the cut
Jamie Carragher has named his all-time Liverpool XI, and controversially only picked two of his former team-mates. After rising through the academy ranks at Liverpool, Carragher went on to make his first team debut in January 1997 and remained at the club for 16 years before hanging up his boots in 2013. The one-club man played with some elite players, winning three League Cups, two FA Cups, the UEFA Cup and most famously the Champions League during his time at Anfield. But he overlooked a number of his old team-mates when putting together his XI, and only had space for two of Arne Slot's current squad as well.
Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi FUMES at ex-Man United star after he bizarrely opted to pass despite being through on goal during stalemate with Man City
Inter Milan boss SImone Inzaghi was left fuming at one former Manchester United star during his side's draw with Manchester City.

The former defender also revealed that he was talked out of the decision by then-manager Brendan Rodgers, who urged the ex-England star to 'stick with it'. The former defender enjoyed a distinguished career with the Reds, joining Liverpool's academy back in 1996 before retiring in 2013, aged 35.
Erling Haaland appears to give X-rated response to Francesco Acerbi after Inter star asked for TWO of City striker's shirts following Champions League draw
Haaland was kept quiet on a night in which he missed out on his 100th goal for the club but he was all smiles during an animated chat with Acerbi after the final whistle. Defender Acerbi, part of the stubborn Inter backline that frustrated City at the Etihad, was caught on camera seemingly asking Haaland for two of his shirts. It is customary for players to trade their jerseys after matches in a show of respect but Haaland looked to jokingly wave away the request by telling Acerbi to 'f**k off'. In footage shared on social media by TNT Sports, a smiling Acerbi could be seen holding up two fingers to the striker as part of his cheeky question.

So much for piling on the pounds in retirement! Andy Murray reveals he's LOST weight since hanging up his tennis racquet in August
As weight-loss strategies go, giving up tennis might not seem the most obvious solution - unless, like Andy Murray, you happen to be a former Wimbledon champion. The 37-year-old Scot, who hung up his rackets at the Paris Olympics last month, made the shock revelation that he has lost almost a stone since playing the final match of his career. Murray, who has spent much of his time on the golf course in the weeks since, said at a celebrity pro-am event in Wentworth that he had shed the pounds since he stopped working out daily in the gym and putting in the hours on the practice court
Arsenal beware! Ademola Lookman is on the Ballon d'Or shortlist and scored a hat-trick in the Europa League final - the Atalanta star is a much different prospect to when he played in England
Arsenal's Champions League campaign gets underway with a tricky trip to Europa League winners Atalanta on Thursday night. While Manchester City and Real Madrid are the strong favourites to win the competition, the Gunners are not too far behind, as they aim to lift Europe's most prestigious trophy for the first time. The first of eight tests standing in Arsenal's way of the knockout round is Atalanta at the Gerwiss Stadium in Bergamo, and though Mikel Arteta's side will be the favourites for the tie, they only need to look at Liverpool last season to know that the Italian side pose a big threat.
