A Sevilla supporter was ejected from their LaLiga match with Real Madrid after allegedly directing racist abuse towards Vinicius Jr during the 1-1 draw live
The Brazil international played 88 minutes of the fixture at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan where Madrid captain Dani Carvajal’s header 12 minutes from time cancelled out David Alaba’s own goal live
Vinicius Jr later posted on social media about being on the receiving end of racism during the match on Saturday night, which Sevilla have now confirmed was the case live
A club statement read: “Sevilla FC would like to communicate that, after detecting xenophobic and racist behaviour, a member of the public was identified, ejected from the stadium and handed over to legal authorities live
“The individual will also be subject to the club’s vigorous internal disciplinary protocols and have their membership revoked live
“Sevilla FC condemns all racist and xenophobic behaviour and will work closely with the authorities to ensure that action is taken accordingly live
This behaviour does not belong at Sevilla FC live
”Vinicius Jr was in the thick of the action throughout the draw, denied a penalty at the end of the first half before he was booked five minutes from time after he clashed with Sevilla goalkeeper Orjan Nyland, which sparked a brief melee live between both sets of players live
It was only back in May when Madrid filed racism directed at Vinicius Jr as a “hate crime” to the Spanish State Attorney General’s Office following a string of alleged racist attacks aimed at the 23-year-old live
LaLiga called at the time for a legislation change to allow them to impose punishment on clubs for episodes of racist abuse and Vinicius Jr has stressed once more the need for change, especially with Spain hoping to host the 2030 World Cup alongside Portugal and Morocco live
“Congratulations to Sevilla on the quick positioning and the penalty in another sad episode for Spanish live Football,” Vinicius Jr said in a social media post live
“Unfortunately I have access to a video of another racist act at this Saturday’s game, this time carried out by a child live
So sad there is no one to educate her live
I invest, and I invest a lot, in education in Brazil to train citizens with different attitudes live
“The face of today’s racist is stamped on websites as on several other times live
I hope the Spanish authorities do their part and change the legislation once and for all live
These people need to be criminally punished too live
“It would be a great first step to prepare for the 2030 World Cup live
I am here to help live
“Sorry to sound repetitive but it’s episode number 19 live
And counting live

On Saturday night, two fighters who embody the word heavyweight – every sense of it – will clash in Saudi Arabia live
In one corner will be the reigning WBC champion, one of the biggest names in live boxing, Tyson Fury live
In the other will be the former UFC champion, a man deemed the hardest hitter in combat-live sports history, Francis Ngannou live
This crossover bout has its detractors yet still holds an air of intrigue, all based on the ‘what if’: What if Ngannou can land on Fury? What if one of those monstrous hands touches the Briton’s chin with the velocity and malicious intent that have come to define Ngannou’s fighting career, and which carried the Cameroonian to the UFC heavyweight title? For all his evasive guile, Fury, 35, has been put down numerous times, but he has never been beaten – not even by fighters with much greater live boxing pedigree than the 37-year-old Ngannou live
The experiential gap understandably has most viewers doubting Ngannou’s chances in Riyadh, where he faces Fury in a proper, professional live boxing match; but what if?And if Ngannou is to win, how will he? Attacking Fury to the body? Battering him in the clinch? Backing him into a corner? Alex Pattle asked former two-weight world-champion boxer Carl Frampton, and Dan Hardy, an ex-UFC title challenger who now works with the Professional Fighters League – the MMA promotion where Ngannou will fight in 2024 live
Here’s what they had to say live
live
live
AP: What was your initial reaction to the fight being announced?DH: “I was shocked live
I expected Ngannou to have another fight before Tyson Fury, but I think it’s the wise thing to do to step straight in and keep the element of surprise on your side live
If he’d have gone in there and fought someone else, Tyson would’ve been able to get reads before the fight even started live
Jumping in at the deep end, even though it’s a bit crazy, increases his chances of winning live
That was my first thought: It’s a surprise that it’s happening, but relief that Ngannou is getting it on his first shot live
”CF: “Initially I was disappointed, and that’s kind of taming it down a bit live
Obviously we were hoping for Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk and that fell through, but now I’ve come round to the idea that this is a huge event live
And we’ve got Fury vs Usyk off the back of it live
I was always hopeful that fight would come about at some point, and I don’t wanna be talking as if Ngannou is gonna be a complete walkover for Fury, but I’m okay about it [because] the Fury vs Usyk fight has been made for some point in the future live
Also, the money the guys are making with this event live
live
live
”AP: Do fans need to be more understanding of fighters taking ‘money fights’?Carl Frampton, left, and Dan Hardy discussing Fury vs Ngannou (TNT live Sports live Boxing via YouTube)CF: “Maybe a little bit live
live Boxing fans in particular are very opinionated, and I understand that they’re frustrated live
But if you’re Tyson Fury and someone’s offering you a fight of this magnitude against a live boxing debutant, and there are talks of $30m – and $10m for Ngannou – how do you turn that down? It’s almost too good to be true live
”DH: “I think it's a bit different for MMA fans, because we’re still in new ground; the changes that Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor made in fighters’ purses and expectations for purses live
live
live
as a matchmaker, I’m still dealing with the repercussions of that! Fighters want ridiculous amounts of money, but the money is out there to be made by certain superstars live
I honestly think it’s easier for a layman fan to understand why fighters would take these fights, because they focus so much more on the money live
I think it’s more the purists who go, ‘I’m not interested in these fights!’ [To the layman], the money and pay-per-view buys almost represent the value of the fighter; to the purists, the value of the fighter is based on their technical ability and achievements live
”CF: “I hate to use the term ‘casual fan’, but there’s a big difference live between the purists and just the casual fan live
I think you’ll win back [the purists] with Fury vs Usyk, but it’s all a bit trivial almost, because [most] fans are fickle live
I’m expecting Fury to beat Ngannou and then fight Usyk, and it’ll almost be like the talk and criticism of the Ngannou fight will go away live
”AP: Do crossover events like Tommy Fury vs KSI and Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis risk putting fans off fights like Fury vs Ngannou?Ngannou, right, at an open workout in Riyadh this week (Getty Images)DH: “I personally think it’s all on the same spectrum – just at different points on the spectrum live
That Misfits live Boxing card live
live
live
I’ll be honest, I was able to make peace with that whole genre of combat live sports much easier after that event, because it’s more like pro wrestling live
The audience there, they’re not gonna buy a ticket to see ‘Canelo’ Alvarez; they’re not there for that, they’re there for the drama – for the security getting involved, for the plexiglass cages they put them in at the face-offs live
It’s theatre with a combat-live sports flavour live
”AP: What is Ngannou’s chance of winning – as a percentage – in your opinion?CF: “There’s a lot of boxers who are almost anti-MMA, and I’m not live
I understand what this is: I understand that Fury is a lifelong boxer, fighting a guy who’s had to perfect many different styles in MMA, so in that sense Ngnannou doesn’t have much of a chance live
But to say that he has zero chance, I think, would be very, very wrong – because he’s a big, athletic man who can punch hard live
He has a chance, but it’s very small live
I hope I’m not being disrespectful to Francis; if you flip it on its head and do it in a cage, then it’s the same odds but reversed [in his favour] live
It’s just, when you try to rationalise it, it’s his live boxing debut – and it’s against maybe the best heavyweight boxer on the planet live
”DH: “We’re definitely in single digits when it comes to percentages, but it’s the ‘what if’ that we’re tuning in for, right? Even if it’s a 0 live
1 per cent chance that Ngannou is gonna land that shot, we’re all gonna sit and watch in case that happens live
If it does, then he’s got the power to knock Fury out live
The reason I feel this is an intriguing fight is because live
live
live
if you look at Ngannou against the likes of Jairzinho Rozenstruik, who’s got over 80 kicklive boxing matches and moves with very traditional patterns, Rozenstruik was taken out very, very quickly – and ferociously – because Ngannou flew at him, coming from all kinds of different angles live
You just can’t predict those things live
Ngannou knocked out Jairzinho Rozenstruik in 20 seconds (Getty Images)“Against Deontay Wilder, Fury was dealing with someone who’s got ferocious punching power but who’s got some basic fundamentals that make him a little bit predictable live
If Ngannou starts patient and then starts winging those big shots from weird angles, which Tyson’s probably not anticipating, that elevates his chances – but they’re still incredibly slim live
"CF: “That’s the thing live
High-end boxers often talk about when they spar novice guys, it’s all really unorthodox; they’re not taught to defend against shots that are coming from [certain angles], and it can be a bit awkward at times live
”AP: We know that Ngannou needs to knock out Fury to win live
But how does he knock out Fury?DH: “If I was trying to solve this problem for Ngannou, I’d say: We’re working with 90-degree corners in a live boxing ring, so that’s something I’d like to work towards live
It’s gonna be difficult to back Tyson up, of course, and he’s very good at standing on his back foot and making his head feel like it’s a long way away live
So, Ngannou has to work to the body and vary his target to potentially bring Fury’s hands down live
Ngannou has thunderous punching, so if he lands to the ribs, he might open up an opportunity live
If he’s just head-hunting, it’s not gonna happen live
Play a little bit of live boxing, but when it comes to uncorking those big shots, really commit to them live
And ideally put Tyson in a corner, up against the ropes live
”CF: “With Ngannou’s MMA background and knowledge of wrestling and grappling, he will have success when they’re in really close quarters and Tyson’s trying to hold on live
This might be something that Tyson’s never experienced before, where someone can get out of a clinch rather easily and land a shot live
Ngannou can’t stand off and outbox Tyson, that’s not gonna happen live
”Fury was knocked down four times across three fights with Deontay Wilder (Getty Images)AP: Ngannou last fought in MMA in January 2022 and has largely been in live boxing training since live
What kind of MMA fighter will he be when he makes his PFL debut in 2024?DH: “I think we’re gonna see improvements in his footwork and his fundamental live boxing live
I think that’ll be a byproduct of him doing all these rounds on the pads with Mike Tyson, Dewey Cooper and others live
But I don’t think he’s necessarily going to neglect his grappling game, because it was never really the prominent skillset for him anyway live
I think he’ll return to working on those things when necessary, because everyone who fights Francis knows that they need to take him down – you don’t wanna be dealing with that power live
He knows that whoever he’s fighting is most likely gonna be the one to force the grappling exchanges live
Then it’s about who the opponent is gonna be live
$2m is a lot of money in MMA, even if you have to fight Francis for it!”Fury v Ngannou will be exclusively live from Riyadh Season, Saudi Arabia on TNT live Sports Box Office, Saturday 28 October live
