Hello there. [music] It's time now for paper talk here on Sky Sports News, bringing you first look at the sports stories making [music] the headlines in the morning's newspapers. Uh joining us this time around are Jonathan Liew from The Guardian and Laurie Whitwell from The Athletic. [music] Welcome to you both. Let me run you through the back pages before we chat. The long, long, long-awaited fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua dominates. [music] Brit pop is the headline in The Sun and above that, Kane tipped for 2030 World Cup. It'll be a belter, [music] says The Express. And above that, Gordon, I was untouchable. That's Anthony [music] Gordon talking about his surprise at being the first player to be substituted >> [music] >> against Argentina. In The Telegraph, they splash with a very pain-induced looking Jos Buttler after England lose the [music] second one-day international against Sri Lanka. They will not have key player Jos Buttler for the decider. Uh they [music] also cover AJ against Tyson Fury, where the fight could start as late as 2:00 a.m., [music] they say. In The Guardian, they [music] also splash on Jos Buttler and more coverage as well of that boxing heavyweight clash between Fury [music] and Joshua. And on the right-hand column, Prem season kicks off with three clubs in [music] takeover talks, Harlequins, Northampton, and Gloucester attract- attracting serious interest from overseas investors. In The Mirror, only one story in [music] town in The Mirror. Brits a knockout, they say. AJ wins battle to have showdown with Fury in the UK. That's [music] fight confirmed for December in Cardiff. More coverage of that bout in The Star [music] as well. Fury and AJ's £150 million >> [music] >> Cardiff blockbuster. Okay, let's talk boxing then because that's what many of the back pages have gone with this time around. Jonathan Lory, really great to see you both. Let's start with the Telegraph then when it comes to this fight that we've been waiting so so long for. Lory, it's been years in the making. It's taken this long. We finally got to it. I almost feel like is it actually is it really is it really going to happen? Come on, you're a boxing fan. Talk us through where this boxing bout ranks in British boxing history. >> Oof, big question, Jess. I mean, I I can see what you're saying in terms of the match like until they walking down you know, the ring walk and getting in the rings, I can see what you mean cuz it's it's fallen flat previously, you know, it's it's felt like Tyson Fury has probably been the one evading it in my opinion. Um British boxing bouts, I mean, you could probably go back to the 90s, don't you? And and Eubank and Benn. Um I kind of do feel like it's up there really with anything that we've seen in the past just because of the figures that that we're talking about here, the global recognition that they've both got, the careers they've both got. Clearly, it's not at the right moment. It should have happened when they could have had the undisputed title fight and then instead Fury I guess was forced by the legal team to have that trilogy with Wilder, but I still am excited by it. Um I know that it's they're both past their prime. I know they've both lost twice to Oleksandr Usyk, but I'm still fascinated by who's going to come out on top because you've got Tyson Fury now claiming he's going to knock out Anthony Joshua because he thinks he's got a you know, a paper chin in his words. He has been down in the first round twice in his last three fights, but AJ's the guy with the knockout power and you can you could see it going either way. I actually favor AJ really just because of that you know, explosive ability that he's got. But, I think it's really fascinating. I It's tough to call even at this stage. Tough to call even that it's going to go ahead for sure, but I'm very, very glad that it's happening in the UK and Wales and the Principality Stadium. It's a stadium that he's fought at a couple of times, Joshua, and Eddie Hearn's obviously doing his victory laps having got one over his US adversary in Dana White by getting this fight in the UK cuz I think they all wanted it in the US. Netflix wanted it in the US for the money, the eyeballs, but I think there's a little bit of I think that's illogical really when you think of the these two have got such huge fan bases in the UK. Needs to be in the UK with a big crowd. Albeit, yeah, as you say, it's going to be, I don't know, 1:30 they're saying, 2:00 in the morning for the ring walks. It's you're going to have to have some staying power to watch it, I think. >> Yeah, I think you're right though. Boxing fans will be very excited at the fact that it's in Wales. It's in Britain and it's staying on these shores. In the Express, they've also covered this story. It'll be a belter, they say. So, Jonathan, despite the fact that both of these boxers are in the twilight of their careers, Fury is what, 38? AJ is now 36. It's still going to be entertaining to watch, isn't it? >> It is. I mean I mean I think it's for for people who have been fight fans who have been almost kind of anticipating this for for almost a decade. You know, it would it would really it it would be hard not to watch. It's going to be hard not to tune in to to the build up and follow all of the kind of the the trash talking and the circus that surrounds it. And you know, I I do think that all of the although certainly Joshua, possibly Fury as well, are not quite of that top level. We we saw how dynamic that the division was in the in that incredible like It's a Homer Hergovich fight a few weeks ago. We saw that, you know, the amount of of new talent coming into the division. So, this is this is not necessarily the pinnacle of the heavyweight spectacle, but it is it is theater for so many reasons. And and partly it is it is the history between them. I think, you know, Lori talks about the roads not taken, the opportunities that there were to make this fight. That is a failing of the sport, that is a failing of the people involved in in not giving fight fans the fight that that really made sense at that time, that everyone wanted. We get it now, but it it is still going to be a fascinating encounter. I don't think Joshua has anything like the the the capacity to to trouble Fury if he's anything like his, you know, physical best. You know, it's easy to forget that hasn't really beaten a world-class opponent Joshua since about 2019, with possibly the Ruiz rematch. So I don't think he has the pedigree. You know, he he has the punch power to to knock out, you know, Jake Paul perhaps, but I don't see him causing much damage to Fury. >> Okay. Also covered in the mirror as well, Brits and knockouts. They say AJ wins the battle to have showdown with Fury in the UK. Lori, you you've alluded to it already, the fact that this has been a long time coming. Frank Warren spoke about one of these two parties having to compromise. So what's your take on who had to compromise what to finally get this deal over the line? >> Yeah, it's fascinating, isn't it? Well, I mean maybe it'll all come out in the wash, but I think having, you know, clearly a a kind of independent arbiter, I suppose, in Turki Alalshikh in the middle of this all. So they've each done deals with him with with Seller, the the company, that could have sorted all this stuff out. You know, it's they're talking about 100 million pounds each, aren't they? It's mind-boggling numbers, but I guess they know that they've got that kind of pulling power. I suppose ultimately Fury's had to see the little bit because, you know, he probably would have preferred fighting in the US maybe. He's fought in the US quite a few times. Um, you know, Madison Square Garden was obviously the the scene of Anthony Joshua going across and getting knocked out by Andy Ruiz that kind of really it his career in that moment when he was on such a good momentum. Um and yeah, I mean you even think back to when this kind of got announced really in April for the after the Fury Mahmoud al-Fai at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and you had Fury in the ring sort of saying it's done, coming in wanting AJ to give him a face-off and AJ kind of sat there, you know, looking kind of disinterested but clearly making a point about no, this will happen on my terms, calling himself the landlord. And I suppose that does have a certain ring given his fault at the Principality Stadium a couple of times as I say. I thought that was great drama and the theater as as Jonathan sort of suggested there earlier. I think they'll be they're not at their best but they've both got the capacity to really captivate, to tell a compelling story. And yeah, we'll see once they're in the ring. Maybe Jonathan's right in that Fury's just too quality with for him, you know, too much footwork and and evasive action. But he could get caught as well. He's been down a lot Fury so I just wonder if if AJ does connect then we could have a really explosive night. >> Really explosive. Two heavyweights just going at it, just slugging. It could be a slugfest in the end, couldn't it? Look, in the Guardian they've also covered this at the bottom of their page. Better late than ever they say about the boxing. Fury against Joshua clash confirmed for Cardiff. Jonathan with a 2:00 a.m. start. That's widely reported. We haven't got official confirmation of the start time but a 2:00 a.m. start for boxing fans, will that keep them away? What What impact will that have on a UK audience? >> Yeah, I mean I I think on the grounds, you know, there's it's it's not I imagine what the local police would want the start time to be. But obviously there are there are broader commercial imperatives at work here. You know, one of the things that one of the other elements about it that does worry me is is kind of the logistics of you know, for those of us who've been to Cardiff for big events before, whether it's you know, Champions League finals, big rugby games, big big football or cricket games, there isn't a huge amount of of accommodation in the city. So, I wonder if if that circus does descend on Cardiff, whether the city's going to be able to cope. Um and and yeah, but in terms of the the start time, as fight fans, we've all stayed up at like ridiculous, unwise hours to watch fights from all over the world. It makes sense if you if you want a US market, it makes sense. Uh if you want to catch the morning market in in um in Asia uh and the Middle East. Uh and and you know, we we're used to this. We'll set the alarm. We'll we'll take sleeping pills or or or put the coffee on or or whatever we need to do. We'll we'll be there. >> You're going to have to drink a lot of coffee, Jonathan. I'm I'm sure you're aware, but the World Darts Championship starts on the same evening. It's going to be a long night for you. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, I mean no, straight straight I mean the like evening session finishes about 11 11:30 right up get get a cab home and [laughter] and yeah, put the kettle on. >> Brilliant. You're all good. >> Loz Loz has had a bit of pop at that, hasn't he? Loz has had the you had one job. Uh which but surely that'll finish in enough time and then you can start the boxing, right? >> It will be fine. And there is such a thing as watching on multiple screens. I'm sure everyone will work it out. Um Okay, let's move to a front page now. We're covering this in the Mirror. Um the headline, I was sexually assaulted by a celeb at home. Andy Carroll has bravely spoken out about being sexually assaulted uh by a celebrity in his own home. Let's get some reaction to this then. It also says that ex-England star reveals trauma of waking to find that he was being attacked. Uh a truly harrowing story um Laurie that he's decided to bravely speak about. Your reaction. >> Yeah, um very interesting, very very courageous, very brave of Andy Carroll, I think, because it must take a lot to not only report this in the first instance. I think he touched on that. I've only read the extracts from uh what's been published, but you know, to go to court to to you know, to tell people about this, to to call the police on it. It clearly it's had a a deep impact on him and he said that he was sort of avoiding his literary agent, I think he was, or his publisher, um right up until the point of saying, "Yes, okay, let's commit to this and put it to print." Because it must take a awful lot of of bravery to kind of put this out there. Um but I do think there's a, you know, I think it's if he wants to tell his story, that's that's one thing, but I do think it has an impact because you look at Andy Carroll, uh the the career that you have, the the kind of physical specimen that he is, and I think that just opens the door for more people speaking out about experiences they might have cuz it's very difficult to do so. I remember um Patrice Evra put an experience of sexual abuse in his book uh that dates all the way back to when he was 13. Uh there was a head teacher involved there and he even was approached by the police uh in France when he was sort of in his mid-20s and he didn't tell them at that stage even. So, he kind of kept that within and it was only when he felt comfortable later in life to put it in a book and kind of tell people about it that, you know, he was able to to kind of come to terms with it maybe. So, I think hopefully it's cathartic for Andy Carroll and hopefully that has a good impact for people who might be going through similar things to speak about it and make sure that people are brought to justice. >> Yeah, and that's one of the main reasons he says why he's talking about this is to help others find a way through that have been through a similar situation. Okay, let's go to the back of the mirror now. In that right-hand column, Gordon's shock at Tuchel. Anthony Gordon admits he was surprised, his words, to be hooked by Thomas Tuchel after putting England a goal ahead in the World Cup semi-final. Yes, Jonathan, we are still talking about that heartbreaking loss by England against Argentina in the World Cup semi-final. Isn't it interesting how the more and more players are speaking to the media and perhaps going against Thomas Tuchel. Not in a really obvious way, but again we've seen another player contradict what he thought Tuchel's tactics were going to be in a moment like that. >> Yeah, I mean it is we all we all going to be re-litigating those sort of 20 minutes in between the goal and the drinks break in excruciating detail for like the rest of our lives. Are we there's going to be a 2048 episode of this program probably called Back Pages tonight again by the by by that point where we you know we're still arguing about the Argentina semi-final. Um yeah, I I think part of the reason it's it's still very raw emotionally it's still incredibly raw for these players. They've all spoken about that. The you know Kane particularly about how this hit him. This hit the the that group players so much harder even than than 4 years ago when he missed that penalty against France. And I think there was you know there were reports coming out from the camp around you know the aftermath of that game that the players were not happy at the way the the Tuchel pursued or you know prosecuted the the closing minutes of that game. The the you know as a footballer playing for England in a World Cup semi-final you want all the tools. You want options at your disposal. You want options with the ball at your feet. You want you want to express yourself. Or you want to show what you can do on the biggest stage. And I think you know the the fact that a lot of players you know in slightly oblique ways and and not always explicitly I think just giving off the message that they weren't allowed to do that. The the in this incredibly pivotal moment in in the history of English football their coach didn't quite grasp the nettle. Didn't quite believe in them enough. And I think that is what stings for a lot of these players. >> Um it's also covered in the star as well Laurie and Anthony Gordon describes himself as being in an untouchable mode of confidence when he was substituted. Feelings still running deep within these within the players and the and within the squad. >> Yeah, I can understand it but it it sort of run deep within me at the time. You know, maybe that was the the the coronas that I was having whilst watching it but you don't sound like you're over it at all. It was all available. No, >> [laughter] >> I'm not. It was just such a huge opportunity, wasn't it? You know, for England to to to go to the final. They were in a good place. Argentina clearly weren't at the same kind of level as they were 4 years prior. And Tu Kul was you know, given the job for these crunch moments and it felt like he yeah, just sort of reverted to all that we've seen before from different England managers. Obviously not least at times Gareth Southgate who was obviously accused of being too negative. So yeah, it's really interesting that Anthony Gordon sort of speaking this way. He's an intelligent guy, isn't he? You know, to go to Barcelona and speak Spanish on your unveiling is impressive. He comes across as like a deep thinker in the game. I know he's had sort of interviews before where he's touched on this kind of stuff but you sort of almost wonder is he a manager in the making? I know he's still young but the way that he talks about the game I think is is really thoughtful and you know, you know, he's clearly got a good self-confidence about him. But because the tails were up at that point England so it was it was interesting that he was the first player taken off and also I think he spoke about the the differences obviously they're going to face Spain, aren't they? And the differences now that he's played in Spain with seeing how they keep hold of the ball and and maybe that would have, you know, caused England issues in the final anyway. You know, maybe it would have been a game too far there but to at least have the chance to, you know, go at them and and give it a go, you know, from from being in the position they were in the semi-final felt like a real achievable aim and I guess that's why there's such strong feeling amongst the players and he, you know, even if it isn't ultimately a divisive camp, you know, I'm sure all the players there want to do well, want to do well for Tu Kul. Perhaps in the back of their minds is that element there that we could have done more last time and obviously you've seen, you know, a couple of players at least not join up with England squad having been called up, you know, for whatever reasons. I'm sure there's a couple of injuries involved, but you feel like there's some simmering perhaps friction that the two could perhaps just needs to manage. >> Yeah, okay. Um, I feel like we're going to continue talking about this until England start winning football matches again. Jonathan, Laurie, thank you for the moment. We're going to take a quick break now. When we come [music] back, we'll be looking at more of the sports stories in the morning's newspapers, including at least two stories in The Telegraph, Butler's last stand [music] and only here for the beers. The debate continues about bringing back alcohol to the football stands. [music] That's next. >> big picture of Jos Buttler in some pain as he went down for England cricket, but all right, at the top of the page, let's talk about this first, Jonathan. Only here for the beers, fans a soaking on the Burnham's booze plan. This has been the talk of the town for the last 24 48 hours. Are you agreed that there should be alcohol allowed by the football fans in the stands or are you against? >> I think on balance I'm in favor. Uh I think the the experience that we have, not just from from football policing, but policing in general, is that if you treat adults like adults, they are more likely to ac
