The 27-year-old Sheffield cruiserweight recorded his eighth win in nine bouts last weekend, when he TKO'd fellow city fighter Perry Howe at the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel. He was only the third man to stop Howe. Not bad for a boxer who comes from a semi-professional football background, having played for Sheffield FC under 19s, Handsworth under 21s, and Clipstone FC. McDonald, from the Wybourn and Manor areas of the city, is a versatile man. He is an accountant with Brown McLeod as well as a...
Kieron Lee’s side were looking to make it three on the bounce and end their SHWGL campaign on a high with a clash versus their local rivals, and though Rotherham found themselves four places below Wednesday in the league table, a 4-2 defeat last time out meant that they were a team to be wary of. The Owlesses side is unrecognisable when looking back to that day, and with confidence high it felt like it would be an uphill battle for the Millers in this South Yorkshire derby at the Jubilee. After...
Both Sheffield sides have had a strong campaign in 2023/24, and they headed into the clash at Bramall Lane occupying the two spaces behind leaders, Birmingham City, but with games in hand. Wednesday had one, United three, and a win for either side would see them rise to first place. For years the Blades have been the top dogs on the youth scene in the steel city, so they went into this home game as favourites despite the fact the two teams drew 2-2 at Hillsborough back in October in a game that...

Bryan Danielson and Will Ospreay wrestled an outrageously captivating
Saturday night sees a bill featuring 11 bouts, three titles, and fighters from this country, Ireland, Bulgaria, Mexico, Argentina, Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of The Congo, Poland, Belgium and Estonia. It's a GBM show that should attract attention across the boxing community. And, as Adam Smith the promotional company's new Director of Broadcasting points out, the evening will not solely be about Shakiel Thompson's 10-round opportunity to win two middleweight belts. "It's about the whole...
Although he wasn’t promoted for the show in any official capacity, Triple H’s music hit a half hour into this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw and the campaign to christen this the “Paul Levesque era” has been a rousing success. This man was treated like a god. In Montreal, of all places! So what was he doing there? That became clear when he got into the ring and Raw General Manager Adam Pearce was there with a black cloth draped over what looked like two titles. Sure enough, they brought up...
The young Owls have had an excellent season in the Professional Development League, and with two games left to play they do still have a chance of reaching the play-offs - unfortunately, however, they’re now relying on Birmingham City to drop points after a bitter defeat at Bramall Lane on Thursday night. Ryan Oné and Louie Marsh got the goals, one in each half, as Andy Holdsworth’s team were beaten 2-0 in the mini Steel City derby, and it was a win that saw them leapfrog Birmingham into top...
