Conor Benn, who has been through notoriety, shame and a chastening defeat, finally gained a large measure of sweet relief when he totally outclassed and beat up his diminished old rival, Chris Eubank Jr, over 12 one-sided rounds late on Saturday night. Benn came close to sealing the knockout he craved in the last minute of the fight when he twice dropped Eubank Jr heavily.
A shuddering combination from Benn had an initially delayed reaction but the right hand that smashed into the side of Eubank Jr’s head finally sent him toppling to the canvas. He rose to his feet but was soon down again as Benn threw punch after punch at his wilting and shrunken frame. Eubank Jr staggered to his feet just before the referee completed his count. The fight would surely have been waved over – but the last bell echoed above the bedlam.

A Texas trooper who had an altercation with South Carolina’s Nyck Harbor after his touchdown on Saturday was sent home from the game, according to the state’s Department of Public Safety.
Harbor scored on an 80-yard reception in the second quarter and ran into the tunnel after the score. As he and three teammates were walking back to the field, the trooper walked in between Harbor and another player and bumped into them.

Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein once claimed President Donald Trump knew underage girls were being sexually abused at the late investor’s Palm Beach mansion -- but never got a rubdown or was part illicit activity, according to a new report.
Anonymous Israeli officials told Axios that they are pressuring the Trump campaign to condition any sale of the advanced F-35s to Saudi Arabia on diplomatic normalization between the Jewish state and the Saudi Kingdom.
The most extraordinary upshot of an extraordinary evening was that Scotland’s dream of qualifying automatically for the World Cup remains alive. Steve Clarke has Belarus to thank for that, their surprise draw in Denmark leaving Scotland in precisely the position they had sought before this clash with Greece. If Scotland beat Denmark in Glasgow on Tuesday, they will top this section.
The dust might just have settled on this preposterous fixture by then. Scotland trailed by three at one point before hauling themselves back into proceedings against a Greek team who finished with 10 men.
