    If at first you don't succeed, you should always keep trying, and trying. That has been the motto for Nottingham Rugby, who claimed their first victory in the British & Irish Cup since December 2013 with a battling 19-10 victory over the Cardiff Blues at Lady Bay. It's been a barren run in recent seasons for the club in a competition they've struggled to find any positive consistency in, but the home side produced a convincing display from the moment they took the lead to round off their...

    The heavyweight division has certainly improved its profile over the last year or so and I was in New York last weekend to see Deontay Wilder. If you've not heard much about him, let me tell you, he is a massive, massive puncher. He's a giant at 6ft 7in and he's one of those boxers that if he catches you, it's lights out. His record underlines his power as his ninth round KO of Artur Szpilka last weekend was his 35th in 36 fights which is an incredible statistic. I was ringside for the...

That will be terrific exposure for Leigh and given he's a Nottingham lad, I am hoping it will be for the British featherweight title. Leigh boxes out of the Ingle Gym and his performance against Josh Wale last time out was hugely impressive. He's got that elusive style, he's very skilful and what I like about him at featherweight is that he has...

    Only one Championship defeat there all season. No goals at all conceded in their last nine league games there and, overall, 32 points taken from 13 games – Middlesbrough's track record at the Riverside looks unmistakably intimidating.
