Basically, I’m going to be gunning for every single fighter out there.”Hamed will relaunch his career against the Spaniard Manuel Calvo at the London Arena on 18 May. The fight was originally scheduled for 23 March, but Hamed sustained a back injury and the contest had to be postponed.In New York, the former amateur champion boxer Mitchell Rose has filed a $66m [£46.8m] suit against Mike Tyson, claiming the former heavyweight champion permanently damaged his spine during a fight at a Brooklyn club last year.Rose also seeks damages for his personal property, including a mink coat that Tyson “ripped with his bare hands” and punitive damages of about $50m.. Jonjo O’Neill landed his first winner at the Punchestown Festival yesterday when Quazar took the Grade One Champion Four-Year-Old Hurdle. Tony Dobbin, having his first ride at the track, escaped from a pocket on the rails to hold the challenge of Newhall, who had finished third to Dobbin’s mount at Aintree.
O’Neill, who had bought the son of Inzar as a juvenile at the breeze-up sales for just 8,000 guineas, said: “I remember meeting Tony here 15 years ago when he came looking for a job from me. He joined us then and made a name for himself and it’s great that Quazar has given us both our first successes at this great Festival.”The odds-on favourites Moscow Flyer and Limestone Lad made no mistake in the other Grade One events to continue the rich form of their riders, Barry Geraghty and Paul Carberry.

The 13-year-old Risk Of Thunder, in the colours of Sean Connery, made a triumphant farewell to the scene of 12 of his 13 victories. He held on by a neck to land the La Touche Cup for the seventh time. The exertions took their toll on the 9-4 favourite to such an extent that he had to be taken to the stable yard immediately to get oxygen.. Jimmy White’s highly strung temperament was evident in a rare act of petulance as he fell 6-2 behind in the opening session of his Embassy World Championship second-round match against Matthew Stevens here last night. White’s frustration boiled over in the last frame of the session when he spurned one of a number of chances he had been given to compile a sizeable break.After missing a black off the spot, the 39-year-old Londoner’s temper got the better of him and he lashed out at the cue ball, which struck the black again and sent it careering off the table.White turned to Stevens and shook his hand to signal the end of the session, conceding the frame even though he trailed by only 13 points with three reds still on the table.Stevens had earlier missed out on a possible maximum 147 break in the opening frame of the session.

He potted 14 reds, but then failed to sink the next black after suffering a “kick” as he tried to gain position on a tricky last red. It was still a break of 105 and the Welshman added further contributions of 84, 113 and 95 as he added to the misery of the out-of-form White.In a first-round match which was completed yesterday, the 12th seed, Alan McManus of Scotland, who had trailed 6-2 to Anthony Davies overnight, fought back to 8-7 down and made a 134 break in frame 11. But while McManus continued to try to stave off defeat, he had ultimately given himself too much to do and Davies, making his first Crucible appearance since 1995, got home 10-7 by taking two 35-minute frames. Davies now looks forward to a second-round meeting Stephen Hendry.Ronnie O’Sullivan, the defending champion, made a convincing start to his second-round match against the world No 54 Robert Milkins as he opened up a 6-2 lead.After potting the first ball of the match, O’Sullivan went on to make a 110 break, following up with a 132 on the way to a 3-0 advantage. But Milkins dug in and pulled back to 4-2 before the world No 2 edged further clear, finishing off the night with a run of 94.. Alec Stewart, out for 99 at The Oval last week, was four short of what could have been his second century in successive Championship matches, caught superbly at cover off what looked certain to be his 16th boundary of the innings. With the selector Geoff Miller looking on, the “Gaffer” could hardly do more to emphasise his credentials for a return to England’s team against Sri Lanka next month.Depriving Stewart of three figures was one of the few consolations Yorkshire had from another day of toil and tribulation in the most dazzling Spring weather for many years.
