The winner of Saturday's super-fight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will become the first boxer in history to hold all four majors titles.

Lewis was the division’s last undisputed champion when he held the title almost 25 years ago, when there were three recognised world titles.

“Tyson Fury should win on points,” Lewis told BBC Sport. The bigger guy has longer arms, great movement. Both have great movement, both want to win, so it's going to be a great fight.”

⚽️ Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says the club want to keep skipper Bruno Fernandes after the Portuguese midfielder stated his desire to remain at Old Trafford.

United are known to be willing to listen to offers for all their first-team stars, with the exception of youngsters Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Hojlund as they look to raise funds for a squad rebuilding exercise.

Fernandes is on that list and has been linked with moves to Inter Milan and Bayern Munich in recent days, although it is felt it would take a sizeable offer to persuade United to part with their talisman.
