It's clear who Geelong's most important player is after their win over the Bulldogs, plus more round 12 lessons

🥊 Undefeated American Devin Haney became boxing's first undisputed lightweight champion in 32 years with a unanimous points victory over George Kambosos.

WBC title holder Haney defended his belt for a fifth time and took Australian Kambosos' WBA (Super), IBF and WBO titles in Melbourne.

Haney is the first undisputed lightweight champion since Pernell Whitaker in 1990 and the first in the four-belt era, which began in 2004.

"This is a dream come true," he said.

All three judges scored the bout in Haney's favour, 116-112, 116-112 and 118-110.

Kambosos Jr. learned a lesson on Sunday but if given the opportunity, the Australian would fight Devin Haney in a rematch bout “tomorrow”.

All the scores, highlights, injuries, judiciary news and more from Week 12 of the 2022 NRL Telstra Premiership.

🎾 Rafael Nadal has beaten Casper Ruud in straight sets to claim his 14th Roland-Garros championship and 22nd grand slam title overall, adding to two records he already owned.

Nadal's 6-3, 6-3, 6-0 victory came two days after his 36th birthday and made him the oldest title winner in the history of the clay-court tournament.

Ruud led 3-1 in the second set, a deficit that spurred Nadal to raise his level — he took the last 11 games.

The Spaniard's first triumph in Paris came in 2005 at age 19. No man or woman ever has won the singles trophy at any major event more than his 14 in Paris. And no man has won more grand slam titles than Nadal (22).
