MEN’S BOXING: Saul “Canelo” Alvarez outpointed previously unbeaten William Scull in an uneventful fight to claim all four super-middleweight titles on this morning in Saudi Arabia.

On the undercar, heavyweight Martin Bakole’s return to the ring after defeat to Joseph Parker ended in a draw with Nigeria’s Efe Ajagba and Badou Jack retained his WBC cruiserweight belt with a majority points decision over Armenian Norair Mikaelian.

SPEEDWAY: New signing Craig Cook will go straight into the Oxford Spires line-up for tomorrow’s Premiership bottom of the table double-header against Birmingham.
