World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says he is “100 per cent” sure he will retire after his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko, Skysports reports. Fury defeated the formidable Klitschko on a unanimous points decision in Dusseldorf last November to claim the WBA, IBF (which he was later stripped of) and WBO heavyweight titles. Klitchsko subsequently activated a rematch clause in his contract and the duo will meet again in Manchester on July 9. However, Fury has recently expressed a degree of disillusionment with boxing and the outspoken 27-year-old announced on Twitter on Sunday that his next fight will be his last. “I set off today for what promises to be a very hard eight weeks training camp,” Fury wrote on Sunday afternoon. “This will be my best fight, then I’ll retire, 100 per cent.” And Fury later posted a photo of one his children and added,  “This is the reason I’m retiring after my next fight, to spend time with these guys.” Were Fury to retire following his bo

Tottenham Hotspur's failure to defeat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge hands the title to the Foxes, completing what is surely sport's most dramatic story in history The music starts; those horns, the strings and that guitar riff. The gun barrel sequence, thrilling cinema-goers since 1962, begins. The assassin tracks 007 across the screen in the familiar manner but the secret agent turns as only he can; he fires his gun and fresh blood trickles down in front of the camera lens... "The name's Vardy. Jamie Vardy."  Unlikely? You bet. But still, according to the bookmakers, it's 10 times more likely that Vardy now moves to Hollywood to become the new James Bond than it was for Leicester City to win the Premier League title at the start of the season.  Vardy, freshly crowned the Football Writers' Player of the Year, is currently available at odds of 500/1 to play the quintessential British action hero in the new franchise release.

The former Manchester United and Wales winger was reported yesterday to have been given the red card by his wife Stacey, 37, who has accused him of flirting with waitresses at a restaurant he owns. The split comes after the couple had tried to rebuild their marriage following the star’s eight-year affair with his sister-in-law Natasha Giggs, 33, and his fling with model Imogen Thomas, 33. Giggs, now assistant manager at Old Trafford, is believed to earn around £100,000 a week and two years ago was estimated to have a £38million fortune. Last night a divorce expert said that Giggs, 42, could stand to lose at least £20million – and possibly more in a multimillion pound settlement. Family lawyer Rupi Rai from family law firm Slater and Gordon said last night: “The starting point as far as the courts are concerned is equality. “The courts will look at achieving an equal division of the assets. “Then they will take into consideration other factors which are set down in

The Selfie Queen's incredibly low-cut dress left little to the imagination during the summer launch of the Layla Restaurant. Wearing her tresses down and straight, the 32-year-old ensured all eyes were on her chest in the risque and equally clingy look. As she posed for some saucy snaps, Karen accidentally flashed some nipple before dining out with a male pal. The former Rochdale councillor's white and pink ensemble emphasised her curves and was teamed with a nude clutch bag and multi-coloured stilettos. Before making her way to the eatery, Karen wrote to her 69,000 Twitter followers: "Got a cocktail bar launch tonight, not sure if my dress is too booby." She then shared a daring shot, alongside the caption: "I'm ready," with three winking emojis. Karen's latest outing comes after she revealed how she'd been offered numerous glamour modelling shoots in her time, but had never taken anyone up on the offer.

The bodies of two American climbers have been found in a glacier in the Himalayas, 16 years after they were killed by a huge avalanche. World-renowned mountaineer Alex Lowe had been climbing the 8,013m (26,290ft) Shishapangma peak in Tibet in October 1999 with cameraman David Bridges when they were hit. They were found by two climbers last week, still trapped in the ice. Mr Lowe's wife, Jennifer Lowe-Anker, said they had been "frozen in time". 'Closure and relief' Mr Lowe, 40, was considered one of the greatest mountain climbers of his generation and was well known in the climbing community for having rescued several other climbers. He and Mr Bridges, 29, were close friends as well as climbing partners, and had been scouting a route up Shishapangma, the 14th highest mountain in the world. The discovery of their bodies  was announced on Friday  by Mrs Lowe-Anker, who now runs a charitable foundation in her late husband's name with her h

National Coordinator of Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), Otunba Gani Adams, at the weekend, in Lagos, tasked the Nigerian media to champion the cause of restructuring the country now that the country is in state of insecurity, occasioned by incessant attacks by the Fulani herdsmen on people in the South, while the Boko Haram insurgency in the North appears to be subsiding. The OPC leader, while describing the recent attack by Fulani herdsmen in Enugu, in which over 120 lost their lives and millions of naira worth of properties destroyed, as ‘highly condemnable,’ noted that the Fulani herdsmen was a manifestation of another Boko Haram that could be deadlier if not quickly addressed by the government. Adams said this while responding to questions from journalists at the occasion where dignitaries, including representatives of governors of Ogun, Osun and Ondo states; traditional rulers, top media men, people from business and corporate world gathered to celebrate his 46th birth

Kenyan rescuers yesterday continued searching for survivors of a building collapse that took place in a low income area of Nairobi on Friday, as officials said the death toll had risen to 16 and 73 people remain missing. It emerged that the ground and first floor had sunk following heavy rains. The building, next to a river, had been declared unfit for human habitation by Kenya’s National Construction Authority but was not torn down. Bribe-taking officers in the county government were responsible for allowing contractors to bypass building codes, Nairobi governor Evan Kidero said. He vowed to fire those responsible. Police have ordered the building’s owner to turn himself in for questioning. “People who’ve died in Huruma have died an unnecessary death. “That death is a product of corruption... someone is paid $10,000 or $20,000 to approve the building that cost the lives of Kenyans,” legislator Johnson Sakaja said. Kenyan military personnel led the rescue operati

Bala Madaki was killed alongside a student writing the West African Examination Council (WAEC), Emmanuel Tanko, in the late hours of Sunday, May 1, 2016. Residents who attributed the killing to Fulani herdsmen said the group launched attacks since the 2011 election crises leading to the killing of about 1500 people in the Southern part of Kaduna State. " Because of the heat, the district head applied insecticide in his room and was sleeping outside his big compound. We had a gun shut and everyone wake up and move into his room at around 10pm on Sunday. The gunmen followed the District Head right inside his room and killed him ," a resident,  Mike Karshi  told Pulse. Another traditional title holder told us that the boy that was killed is a close relation to the district head. " We don't know what is happening. We hardly sleep here with our eyes closed since 2013 when gunmen invaded our communities. These gunmen speak Fulani. Many people are being killed

Five  Seattle  police officers were injured and at least nine people arrested on Sunday night, after unruly demonstrators hurled projectiles and  Molotov  cocktails and broke windows, authorities said. Protesters gather every year on May 1 to focus attention on labor and immigration issues, but demonstrators in cities across the  United States  also used the occasion to rally against police violence. Mayor Ed Murray blamed the "senseless violence" in Seattle on a "different crowd" from those who had attended an earlier peaceful May Day immigration march, however. It was " deeply regrettable that in a city that goes to incredible lengths to respect First Amendment rights, there are some who disregard our values and engage in senseless acts of violence and property destruction, " he said later, referring to free speech protected by the U.S. Constitution. In posts on social media website Twitter, the Seattle police department said one office
