Sports Newspapers: 5 things you need to know this Tuesday morning

Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Sports:

  1. Finidi George has been officially unveiled as new head coach of the Super Eagles. TOTAL SPORTS reports that the 53-year-old was unveiled at the secretariat of the Nigeria Football Federation in Abuja on Monday.
  2. John Fury was left bleeding from his head after headbutting a member of Oleksandr Usyk’s team after a confrontation in Saudi Arabia. The incident occurred ahead of his son Tyson Fury’s heavyweight showdown with the Ukrainian this weekend.
  3. Conor McGregor’s comeback has already broken the UFC’s live-gate record, according to Dana White – two months before fight night. McGregor will face Michael Chandler in the main event of UFC 303 on 29 June, marking the Irishman’s first fight in three years. In July 2021, McGregor suffered a broken leg in his second straight loss to Dustin Poirier.
  4. Tottenham Hotspur will host Manchester City on Tuesday night. If City win the encounter, it would take
    Pep Guardiola’s side one step closer to lifting the Premier League trophy for a fourth year in a row while a Spurs victory or draw would instead hand the advantage to their local rivals Arsenal on the final day.
  5. Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner will be out indefinitely due to a fractured toe on her left foot, the team announced on Monday. That means Griner will miss opening night of the 2024 WNBA season, when the Mercury are scheduled to meet the defending champion Las Vegas Aces.
