The Best Thing We Shared

Every tennis fan’s dream unfolded on Sunday night for two late-night players, who were surprised by none other than Serena Williams. The entire scene was documented on Serena’s Snapchat story, most of which was filmed by her fiancé, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.

Where We Were Today

Fintan O’Toole and Murray Kinsella had a chat to Michael Murphy and Shane Williams in Dublin. The pair got to sample another sporting life recently. Murphy tried his hand at rugby in France while Williams pitched up in Donegal to play Gaelic football.

On The Record

Boxing is boxing and MMA is MMA. They’re two separate sports. It would be a joke, it would be an embarrassment for boxing if an MMA fighter were to go into the ring, it would be a no contest. It would be the same thing if a fighter went into the octagon. It would be an embarrassment for MMA.

Oscar De La Hoya isn’t keen on the prospect of Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor meeting in a boxing match.
