The American has proved again that she’s in a class of her own. But is that a good thing for her sport?

Over the weekend, more than 16,000 fans, including former and current world champions such as Floyd Mayweather, Terence Crawford, and Shakur Stevenson, filled State Farm Arena in Atlanta to witness Claressa Shields dominate Kaye Scott.

Shields made quick work of Scott winning by TKO in six rounds after unleashing a flurry of punches against the Australian, whose corner threw in the towel to stop the fight before more damage could be done. mchezo.co.za

In today’s newsletter: how climate crisis is affecting athletes and what steps are being taken to protect them from rising temperatures

The mercury-shattering European summer pants alongside us on the back straight, looming as we hug the shadows, sweaty sandals on the parched earth. Across Asia, Africa and North America too, inhabitants have endured the warmest July of their lives.

In Toronto, Alex Hutchinson, author of the bestseller Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance, has just come back from an early run. “Here I am in Canada, a famously frosty country, and my general take when I wrote ‘Endure’ in the 2010s was that heat was not that big a deal. Occasionally, people died of heat, often in the deep south of the US, often returning to football practise in August, when they were not prepared, but that was rare.

Veien til fast stopperplass for nordmennene Torbjørn Heggen og Eivind Helland kan bli kortere etter at Juventus kjøpte Jhon Lucumi fra Serie A-konkurrent Bologna.

• Vicario has lost No 1 slot at Spurs to Antonin Kinsky

• Move could become permanent for £8.6m next year

Juventus have agreed a deal with Tottenham for Guglielmo Vicario to join on an initial loan after the Italian side decided against a move for Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martínez.

Vicario is set to leave Spurs having lost his place as Roberto De Zerbi’s No 1 to Antonin Kinsky, with the agreement with Juventus containing an option to make the Italy goalkeeper’s move permanent next year for £8.6m. Martínez had been linked with the Turin club after Villa agreed a deal to sign Parma’s Zion Suzuki for around £30m but Juventus saw a €10m offer rejected over the weekend and decided to switch their attention elsewhere. The Argentina goalkeeper is currently sidelined due to a finger injury.
