Image
Multiple Grammy award-winning singer, Adele has unveiled her much anticipated album, 30. In the announcement made via her social media pages on Wednesday, the Rolling in the Deep singer, whose last project was six years ago, said the album will be released on the 19th of November. This announcement comes a week after Adele gave a teaser of her Album’s lead single, Easy On Me, which is set for release on Friday. In an interview with Vogue for its November issue, the mother of one had hinted that her new album would explore her divorce from ex-husband, Simon Konecki, which happened in 2019. Her new album, 30, follows Adele’s style of naming her albums after the age at which she started writing them. Following this metric would mean that the songstress started the album during her divorce.   “I was nowhere near where I’d hoped to be when I first started nearly three years ago. Quite the opposite actually. “I rely on routine and consistency to feel safe, I always have. And ...

can't see AJ winning that rematch - Boxing promoter, Frank Warren tells Anthony Joshua to ignore a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk

Image
Anthony Joshua has been told not to go ahead of with his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk because he could lose against the Ukranian again.  English boxing manager and promoter, Frank Warren believes the Ukrainian should instead face the Gypsy King since they both hold all the major belts following showdowns against Joshua and Deontay Wilder in the last three weeks.     Fury defended his WBC title in Las Vegas at the weekend with an 11th-round knockout of the Bronze Bomber, just a few weeks after Usyk became the new unified heavyweight world champion after dethroning Joshua at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. However, Joshua triggered his rematch clause earlier this week in an attempt to win back his WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO belts in a second bout against Usyk which is set to take place in March next year. 'He [Joshua] shouldn't be going through with it [rematch against Usyk],' Warren told Sky Sports.  'I thi...

Image
The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) has expressed fear and concern over the latest development against Blessing Okagbare over her alleged illegal use of drugs.   Okagbare, who has been charged with three offences by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), was suspended just before her semifinal race at the Tokyo Olympics after testing positive for a human growth hormone following an out-of-competition test on July 19.    The 32-year-old was said to have later tested positive for another banned substance, recombinant erythropoietin (EPO), which increases red blood cell count.

Image
A man who was jailed for a series of sex attacks on women in Tower Hamlets in London has had his sentence increased from six years and nine months' imprisonment to nine years. Ali Husseini, 27, sexually assaulted three women in separate attacks while they were walking along a pedestrian underpass.   During his trial at the Old Bailey, the court heard how Husseini would follow lone women into the subway underneath the A12 in the Poplar area.   In August 2020, he followed a 32-year-old woman as she returned home from nearby shops, before grabbing her neck and sexually assaulting her. The victim was able to bite Husseini's arm before running away.   A few weeks later, Husseini targeted a heavily pregnant woman as she walked along the same underpass on her way back to work. The victim heard footsteps behind her and Husseini slapped her from behind, causing the victim to scream and run away.   The following day, H...
