i have chris eubankjunior as a favourite, i think the best chris eubankjunior beats the best liam smith to stack up in chris eubankjunior�*s favour. i think eubank might stop him late. the winner will be the boxer with a big fight mentality in the ability to lift themselves above everything in all the time today, nationalism, foul language. if the boxers can lift themselves above that and control his head and heart he might very well be the winner. ijust fancy chris eubankjunior but i do think that what we have seen in this manchester will have an effect on the fight. it's pretty rare to find a more dominant woman in motorsport than emma bristow. who is the 8 time world motor trials champion. despite growing up in the famously flat county of lincolnshire. she and her motorbike., now takes on mountainous challenges all over the globe. mike bushell went to see emma in training just outside barcelona. defying gravity wherever she goes, stuck between a rock and a hard place in an uphill battle for that is never a barrierfor emma bristow who is defining what is possible on a motorbike. these

and chris eubankjunior had a great line when he was told, listen, chris, calm down.oss that line. and i think we did. boxing went to cross that line yesterday. not one single bit of that was for click paid. let's get that absolutely right. not one single bit of that was click bait. it was personal, it was nasty. it was the end of basically three months or two and a half months of the pair taunting each other. i talked to both boxers yesterday once they'd left the stage within for five minutes of some of the stuff they were exchanging and in my opinion, and mailed tojane, both they were exchanging and in my opinion, and mailed to jane, both of them were a bit rattled by it. in rugby union's champions cup lester led by six and with stated waves of osprey�*s pressure before the referee ruled that jack had scored a late try before williams added the two points to win. next we're looking at the question — why are there so few women in motorsport? we already know there are no female drivers in f1 but is that likely to change? our repoter matt warwick has been speaking to s

and after an ugly build up, chris eubankjunior let's his armband do the talking as he faces—up to liamwas about the lowest in the most out—of—control conference i've ever been at. also coming—up in the programme. what's the problem with women and motorsport? we hear from some of the few who are �*in' to get their side of the story. welcome to the programme then and we're starting with tennis — no epic encounters in melbourne for you this time — andy murray has had the day off, but there was plenty of action including disappointment for britain's number one — cam norrie. he's been knocked—out in the third round. our correspondent andy swiss rounds—up the action from the australian open. another british man, anotherfive setter but this time, a different result. after andy murray's marathon, norrie was hoping for something similar but after taking a set lead, the signs are promising. but from there, his 21—year—old czechoslovakian opponent played the match of his life and on the last week, he lost to norrie in oakland. and he clearly learned his lesson as he reeled off the next two sets a

is special to— smaller room of society so it is special to take something like that home _ chris eubankjuniorhe two boxers given the rivarly their famous fathers had in the 1990s, but it was called offjust two days before because of benn's results. he insists his team had "proven" his innocence and that "contamination" may be to blame. but eubankjunior says a fighter is ltimately responsible for whatever was in their system... and benn has lost his �*credibility�*. you need to come clean and beg for forgiveness and hope that people will eventually get back on your site but you have a long way to go. you're going about it the wrong way if you're trying to play the victim and trying to prove your innocence after, itjust doesn't work. he will have to be the bad guy. like me. i was the bad guy and maybe i still am the back i come i have been doing it for ten years walking into arenas for ten years walking into arenas for ten years being booed, drinks being thrown, trolled online. day in, day out. i had to embrace that role. i was never the hero. i would go into guys's dockyards in towns where the
