Today's

Joshua and the Ukrainian heavyweight champion were involved in a modern classic in 2017, but Joshua retired after round 11.
The former sparring partner is still AJ's best friend, and AJ continues to seek Klitschko’s guidance.
After their training sessions and sparring sessions, the former heavyweight champion also goes back to Usyk, 35.
Klitschko backed his countryman against AJ, both of them being so affected by the war in their homeland.
Klitschko (46), tweeted: "Heavyweight Boxing Today with Two Men I Respect and Know in Different Ways.
"I wish you both luck, but I know Ukraine is where we stand!" !"
Joshua, 32, was encouraged by Frazer Clarke (31), to repeat the tactics he used in defeating Klitschko during his rematch against Usyk.
Clarke stated to Sky Sports that he isn't feigning any illusions. To beat Usyk, he will have to be his best.
"I believe he will have to be more than he has ever been. Better than the Wladimir Klitschko evening.
He must be Klitschko-esque, I feel. He had to return after the night was full of ups and downs. It might be necessary for him to do so.
He's got every chance. He's given everything he can, and I have seen him work on a daily basis and weekly basis. That's all you could ask for from a camp fighter.
He's giving everything he has, using the skills and experience he already has, to make it a success.
