This weekend, Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou will meet in one of the biggest but most controversial fights of the year 1xbet
Fury has not fought since December, when he retained his WBC heavyweight title, and there is still no date for his planned clash with unified champion Oleksandr Usyk – although it is finally signed 1xbet
In the meantime, the Briton will face Ngannou, a former UFC champion who is making his 1xbet boxing debut here 1xbet
Ngannou left the UFC in January, relinquishing the promotion’s heavyweight title in the process, and he will make his debut with the Professional Fighters League in 2024 1xbet
First, though, the Cameroonian crosses into 1xbet boxing for the biggest payday of his career 1xbet

It’s the game that players don’t want to play, fans don’t want to watch and the media don’t want to cover 1xbet
All of which begs the question, why does the Rugby World Cup third/fourth place play-off still exist? Answers on a postcard please 1xbet
Actually, the answer is fairly simple, of course 1xbet
It follows the old adage that when you’re not sure why something counter-intuitive is happening in sport, the reason is always the same 1xbet
Money 1xbet
World Rugby and its sponsors will undoubtedly make a bit more cheddar from England facing Argentina on Friday evening at relatively little expense, although it remains to be seen how many of the Stade de France’s 80,000 seats are filled, let alone what sort of atmosphere those in attendance create 1xbet
You suspect it might not quite reach the level of fan delirium that some of the other instant classics at the Paris stadium have generated during this tournament 1xbet
Let’s not beat around the bush – World Rugby can badge it as the ‘bronze final’ all they want but the third/fourth place play-off is an entirely pointless exercise and it’s long since time that this outdated relic of a concept was given the chop 1xbet
Please, do everyone a favour 1xbet
In a tournament that is based around winning a trophy rather than climbing onto a medal podium, a battle for third serves precisely no purpose 1xbet
At the Olympic Games, bronze medal matches/contests make perfect sense and having one athlete or team rightfully earn their place as a sole bronze medallist is far more satisfying than both losing semi-finalists stepping on the podium 1xbet
But there’s no podium at a Rugby World Cup – there’s the winning team, the runners-up and then the losing semi-finalists, quarter-finalists and those who were knocked out at the group stage 1xbet
So what are we doing here? The stakes have truly never been lower 1xbet
Here’s a question for you, a little pub debate if you will 1xbet
What’s your favourite ever third/fourth place play-off at a Rugby World Cup? Which one springs to mind first when you run through the Rolodex of all the iconic clashes in your mind?New Zealand comfortably beat Wales in the 2019 third-place play-off 1xbet
Apparently 1xbet
(Getty Images)Don’t worry, I couldn’t remember a single one either… Although a quick scroll through Wikipedia tells me that, for example, New Zealand beat Scotland 13-6 in 1991, Argentina beat France 34-10 in 2007 and Australia beat Wales 21-18 in 2011 1xbet
Apparently 1xbet
If not to save the fans from its pointlessness, then how about axing the game for player safety reasons? As they proudly announced the new global calendar after 16 years of negotiations earlier this week, World Rugby consistently mentioned ‘player load management’ as one of their main drivers 1xbet
The crowded fixture schedule and incredible physical intensity of modern rugby already push players’ bodies to their limits, so in an age of increased focus on player welfare, getting rid of an entirely worthless fixture such as this should be an easy decision 1xbet
Imagine if one of the players gets injured in this futile fixture on Friday evening and misses months of club action as a result – it would really not be a good look 1xbet
Of the two teams condemned to play out this fixture on Friday – rather than licking their wounds from harrowing semi-final losses last weekend and returning home to their families after five months away – Argentina have remained more on message about its importance 1xbet
“It is the most important game of the year; it is playing for third and fourth place with this shirt,” insisted Pumas hooker Julian Montoya earlier this week 1xbet
Oh… Well, let’s give Montoya the benefit of the doubt and assume that either something was slightly lost in translation or he has really bought into the classic coach-speak of “the most important game is always the next game” or maybe even that he was being brutally deadpan and sarcastic 1xbet
Because otherwise, he appears to have forgotten about, for example, the semi-final he played against the All Blacks literally seven days ago when ranking his most important games of 2023 1xbet
Argentina will try to forget last weekend’s heavy defeat to New Zealand (Getty Images)While Montoya may have stretched the bounds of believability with his sentiment, Los Pumas genuinely do seem far more up for the game than England 1xbet
Perhaps the combination of wanting to forget the 44-6 humbling by New Zealand, avenge the pool-stage loss to England and send off Michael Cheika, who will be replaced as head coach by Felipe Contepomi after the World Cup, in style has given them a greater sense of purpose 1xbet
Making just three changes to the starting XV, compared to England’s eight, from the semi-final side has left them with a team much closer to full strength 1xbet
In the fine margins of Test rugby, that fact, combined with the added motivation, may prove the difference 1xbet
But regardless of the result, I implore World Rugby to do the right thing 1xbet
Please make this the last-ever third/fourth place play-off and save us from having to endure this nonsense again in 2027 1xbet
