Boxer Amir Khan looking for opponent to fight in July

Former International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Association light-welterweight champion Amir Khan is looking for an opponent after announcing he will make a return to the ring following postponement of his title rematch against champion Lamont Peterson, who failed a drug test. According to the Daily Mail, veteran Mexican boxer Erik Morales, who has won world titles at four different weights, is one of the possibilities.
 Khan is still waiting to hear whether his titles will be handed back after Peterson's failed drugs test or whether he will have to fight for the vacant belts.

Update: Former International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Association light-welterweight champion Amir Khan would fight unbeaten Philadelphian Danny Garcia on July 14.

Khan’s camp was negotiating a ticking-over fight against a selected opponent while waiting for current WBA and IBF light-welterweight champions Lamont Peterson`s appeal against his failed drugs test in front of the Nevada State Athletics Commission on 13 June.

The Bolton-based boxer had been due to fight Peterson last weekend in an effort to reclaim the IBF and WBA belts he lost to the American in their chaotic fight in Washington last December.

Khan will not know until after Peterson`s appeal if his fight against García will be as the reinstated holder of those titles, or if the bout will be for the vacated championships. 

Golden Boy Promotion chief executive Richard Schaefer says a unification fight for all three belts would take priority over Garcia’s commitment to defend his WBC title against Olusegun. Garcia, who comfortably out pointed the once dreadful Erik Morales in his last fight on 24 March to win the vacant WBC light-welterweight title, believes he can beat Khan in the July showdown.

“I feel like this is how it`s supposed to be: the best versus the best, both of us in our prime and giving the fans a great fight. I`m just happy … I feel like I have what it takes to beat this guy,” the Guardian quoted Garcia, as saying after the deal was done.
“I`ve watched Khan a lot. He`s a good fighter, but I don`t think he`s what people say he is, getting all this credit. I feel like he will leave himself open for some big shots and we`ll see if he can take them. I can box and I can punch. I`m going to hit him with stuff he won`t see. I can`t wait,” he added.

Doha and Baku out from race of 2020 Olympic

Doha and Baku were eliminated from the race for the 2020 Olympics on Wednesday as the IOC trimmed the field of candidates from five cities to three.

Tokyo, Madrid and Istanbul made the cut as the International Olympic Committee executive board settled on a shortlist of finalists.

Doha, capital of the Gulf state of Qatar, and Baku, capital of Azerbaijan, were rejected for a second time in a row after failing to make the final list for the 2016 Games.

Tokyo, Madrid and Istanbul — all former bidders — now advance to the final phase, a 17-month race that will end with the IOC vote on Sept. 7, 2014, in Buenos Aires.

Madrid is bidding for a third consecutive time, Tokyo a second time in a row and Istanbul a fifth time overall

.

The executive board, headed by IOC President Jacques Rogge, chose the finalists after examining a technical evaluation report compiled by a panel of Olympic experts. The board voted on each candidate.

An official familiar with details of the selection told The Associated Press the board voted unanimously in favor of Tokyo and Madrid at 12-0 and supported Istanbul by 11-1. The vote was 0-12 for Baku and 3-9 for Doha, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the totals are not being made public.

Qatar is already hosting the 2022 World Cup, but faced questions over the heat, the timing and other issues for the Olympics. The IOC agreed to let Doha bid based on Qatar`s proposal to hold the games from Oct. 2-18 to avoid the brutal summer heat, but officials remained concerned about the weather, conditions for athletes and potential conflicts with television and other sports events going on during that time of year.

IOC executive director Gilbert Felli said the October date was "not the only reason" Doha was dropped from the race.

The dynamics of the race changed dramatically when Rome, considered a potential 2020 favorite, pulled out of the bidding in February after the Italian government declined to provide financial guarantees at a time of economic austerity.

Madrid is bidding against the backdrop of Spain`s financial crisis, something the IOC said it would take into account.

Madrid bid leader Alejandro Blanco said the city would go the distance until the vote in Buenos Aires. He insisted the Spanish government fully backs the project and said the games would be a catalyst for economic recovery.

Tokyo, which hosted the 1964 Olympics, is bidding in the aftermath of last year`s earthquake and tsunami disaster.

The Istanbul bid had been knocked off course by Turkey`s concurrent bid for soccer`s 2020 European Championship. The IOC has made clear that Turkey cannot both hold both events, but Istanbul gained breathing room last week when UEFA extended the bidding process for the Euros and scheduled the final decision for early 2014.

Istanbul leaders assured the IOC that the Olympic bid was the No. 1 priority of the Turkish government.

Didier Drogba to Leave Chelsea but committed not to play other English Clubs

A day after announcing that he would be leaving Chelsea at the end of the summer, Ivorian striker DidierDrogba on Wednesday said he would never play for another English club besides the Blues.Chelsea FC has given him name fame and Money while he has given Chelsea a big win this year. So it is obvious Drogba will be emotionally attached with his previous club.

 Drogba's last kick for Chelsea came in the penalty shootout where he scored the all-crucial fifth penalty against Bayern Munich on Saturday that gave the Blues their first ever Champions League trophy.

Former Chelsea FC  Striker Didier Drogba may Join Chinese Club

Didier Drogba is emotionally attached with Chelsea 

The Ivorian said he would have stayed with the club had they not won the European club trophy.

"I would have stayed if we hadn't won the Champions League. That was my challenge, what I wanted to achieve. The Boss (Chelsea owner RomanAbramovich) gave so much for this club.

"Everybody speaks about buying expensive players, but nobody speaks about the facilities at Cobham. We have one of the best in the world. He (Abramovich) is really trying to develop this club, not that it wasn't a big, ambitious club before. But as players, we always try to improve, try to do this for the club.

 According to sources he may join his previous team mates Anelka in a Chinese club and hope his arrival in Asia can help Asia to boost Football

As the Euro 2012 is coming nearer disappointments for Spanish fan is growing as the Spanish Football Federation RFEF has confirmed that the striker David Villa will not be part of their squad for this summer's European Championships. The Barcelona striker has not been able to fully recover from the broken leg that he suffered during the World Club Championship in December.

Villa's absence is a major disappointment for coach Vicente Del Bosque, who had indicated he would give as long as possible for the striker to recover. Few days ago another important member of the team and Captain of world cup winning team Carles Puyol was also out of the tournament.

David Villa will Miss Euro 2012

Villa is the highest goalscorer in the history of the Spanish national team with 51 goals in 82 appearances.

"David Villa will definitely not be on the list for Euro 2012. Villa spoke with the national team doctor this afternoon after the arrival of the team in the Austrian town of Schruns. After not getting in the final practice and development desired, Villa spoke with Del Bosque, who relayed that although it was the player's wish to be with the team in Poland and Ukraine, that his physical state was 'not as good' as would be desirable," confirmed the Spanish FA.

Spanish Hero of World Cup 2010 wil Miss Euro 2012

Del Bosque will name his final squad of 23 players May 27, two days after the final of the Spanish Copa del Rey in Valencia. The Absence of David Villa may not be a serious problem as in Villa's absence means Chelsea forward Fernando Torres has a greater chance of making the squad for the finals.Anyway The bench strength of defending champion is stron so hope these injuries will not affect the winning sprit of the team

Roman Abramovich to appoint Di Matteo as Chelsea Manager for one Year Trial

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is set to hand Roberto Di Matteo a one-year contract as boss after remaining unconvinced by the Italian’s managerial credentials, according to The Times. Since his appointment on an interim basis following the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas in March, the former West Brom coach has rejuvenated the Blues, leading them to victories in the finals of both the FA Cup and the Champions League. Though Chelsea did bad in EPL but had came as a winner in Champions League under guidance of Di Matteo

Di Matteo

Roman Abramovich

Though Club Owner and Millionaire Abramovich do not find Di Matteo as a top class manager, he has accepted that the 41-year-old deserves a further opportunity at Stamford Bridge after his remarkable achievements this season.However, any decision is unlikely to be reached until next week, meaning the former Blues midfielder will depart for his pre-season holiday with his future still undecided.

Although the Italian has the backing of the club’s squad and fans, their owner still retains hope of luring former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola to west London, following the Spaniard`s sabbatical from the game which begins this summer.

Eliminator of IPL 5: Mumbai Indians(MI) Vs (CSK)Chennai Super kings Match Preview

As Indian Premier League's (IPL5)is in knockout stage and KKR has already reached the Final  and the first elimination match of the event will be between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Champions League winner Mumbai Indians. The game is scheduled to be played on Wednesday, May 23, 2012 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore.

The defending champion’s must consider themselves lucky to be playing the play-offs as play off position have been awarded them as Deccan chargers played some unbelievable cricket in last two matches.t seemed like an impossible task as both RCB and RR had a stronger bench as compared to Chargers. However, lady luck was on Chennai’s side and Chargers, out of nowhere won both games.

CSK V MI

CSK skipper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, has urged his side to make the most of the chance that has come their way. He said, “We must not waste the second life given to us. We must execute our plans well because Mumbai will come hard at us.”

Mumbai Indians will go into the match as slight favourites, as they performed better than their Wednesday opponents during the league stages. Furthermore, the Indians have played at Bangalore and defeated RCB in a high scoring game.

Batting has been a big issue for both sides. Super Kings bat deep down; however, the side has failed to impress in the tournament so far. For Mumbai Indians, opening has been the concern and the franchise is still searching for a batter to open alongside Sachin Tendulkar.

Harbhajan Singh, skipper MI, said, “We are still trying to figure out who is the best partner for (Sachin) Tendulkar. Gibbs has done well in a few innings

Both sides are loaded with match winners. For CSK, Dhoni, along with Albie Morkel, Darren Bravo and Suresh Raina will be the danger man. While for Mumbai Indians, Lasith Malinga, Tendulkar, Harbhajan and Rohit Sharma will hold the key. And Kieren pollard singly can change the direction of the match

The deck at M Chinnaswamy Stadium has fetched a lot of runs in the eight games played there this season; therefore another high scoring fixture is expected.  The team winning the toss would like to field first as it gets easier to bat in the second innings.

Mumbai Indians (probable XI):

1 SR Tendulkar, 2 DR Smith/ H Gibbs, 3 RG Sharma, 4 KD Karthik, 5 JEC Franklin, 6 AT Rayudu, 7 KA Pollard, 8 Harbhajan Singh (captain), 9 SL Malinga, 10 RP Singh, 11 DS Kulkarni/Munaf Patel

Chennai Super Kings (probable XI):

1 M Vijay, 2 MEK Hussey, 3 SK Raina, 4 MS Dhoni (captain), 5 DJ Bravo, 6 RA Jadeja, 7 JA Morkel, 8 S Anirudha, 9 R Ashwin, 10 BW Hilfenhaus, 11 VY Mahesh

World's tallest tower opens to visitors in Tokyo!! Want to see?

The world's tallest tower and Japan's biggest new landmark, the Tokyo Skytree, opened to the public on Tuesday, May 22, 2012. Nearly 8,000 visitors were expected to take high-speed elevators up to the observation decks of the 634-meter (2,080-foot) tower to mark its opening. Some reportedly waited in line more than a week to get the coveted tickets for a panoramic view, though Tuesday ended up being cloudy in Tokyo.

Tokyo SkyTree World Tallest Tower

Skytree is recognized by Guinness World Records as the tallest tower, beating out the Canton Tower in China, which is 600 meters (1,968 1/2 feet). Guinness lists the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, at 828 meters (2,716 feet 6 inches), as the world's tallest building.

The world's tallest structure is Dubai's Burj Khalifa, which stands 828 meters (2,717 feet). That's in a different category because it's a skyscraper, not a tower.

The Skytree will serve as a broadcast tower for television and radio, along with being a tourist attraction. It replaces the 333-meter-tall (1,092 1/2-foot-tall) Tokyo Tower — a symbol of Japan's capital since 1958 — as the broadcast hub. Michihiko Katsuragi, 27, has watched construction of the tower since moving to the area in 2009, according to a report in the Mainichi Daily News.

"I felt like I was growing up at the same time," he was quoted as saying.

Kazutaka Hasegawa got in line on May 16 and was the first visitor to the Skytree on Tuesday, according to the Mainichi Daily News.

World Tallest tower Opens on May 22 2012 for Public

"As a resident of Sumida Ward, I feel a sense of satisfaction in being the first person to ascend the tower," Hasegawa was quoted as saying.

The Skytree has two observation decks, at 350 meters (1,148 feet) and at 450 meters (1,476 feet).

The upper deck can hold 900 people at a time and the lower deck 2,000, according to a report from the Japan Daily Press. Only 6,000 tickets to the decks will be sold daily and they are sold online through a lottery system, the report said

Burj Khalifa World Tallest Building 

.The Skytree complex, which also includes a shopping area, was expected to draw about 200,000 visitors on Tuesday, according to the Daily Press.

 In 2014, China is expected to complete the Shanghai Tower, which at 2,073 feet will be the country's tallest building, and the world's tallest after the Burj Dubai.

Chelsea FC won Maiden Champions League Title

English Giant Chelsea have for the first time won the Champions League, European soccer's premier club competition, as they disappointed German  Bayern Munich in the penalty shootout 4-3 after tying 1-1 in the 120 minutes of real play.

Didier Drogba may have played his last game for Chelsea and the 34-year-old from Ivory Coast put his stamp on the victory Saturday.
 Playing at home in Munich, Bayern dominated most part of play and looked like wrapping it up when they took a 1-0 lead with less than five minutes to go in normal time. Drogba turned it around, nodding home from an acute angle a corner kick by Mata to make it 1-1.

Chelsea Player showing their Happiness with cup

Then there was another twist in the drama. Fifteen minutes into the extra time, Drogba brought down Bayern's Franck Ribery in the box. As the Frenchman limped off the field, Arjen Robben's penalty kick was stopped by Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech.

After a few skirmishes in the remaining period of overtime, it was time for shootout.

Bayern again forged ahead 3-1, but Chelsea again restored parity 3-3. The teams were ready with their final kicks. Bastian Schweinsteiger muffed, finding the post and in walked Drogba. Without any hint of nerves he coolly beat Manuel Neuer, giving Chelsea the title they failed to win in a similar shootout to Manchester United in 2008 in Moscow. 

Bayern Players looks Sad after Unexpected Defeat

"This was not about who won in the penalties," Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes told reporters after the game.

"This was about us not using our chances to win the game. It is purely our fault that we did not use our many chances. My team played an outstanding game against an opponent who played as we expected them to do," Heynckes, who coached Real Madrid to the title in 1998, was quoted as saying by Deutsche Welle

Frank lampard with Cup

For Bayern the defeat was particularly bitter as they not only squandered the rare chance to win a Champions League final on their home ground, but also because this was their last opportunity to make amends for what by their high standards had been a disappointing season. Not only have they failed to win the Bundesliga, but they also badly lost the German Cup final to Dortmund.

Chelsea's stand-in captain Frank Lampard hailed Drogba as the hero.

"We didn't play fantastic but the main man Didier dug us out of trouble there," said Lampard, who captained the side in the absence of the suspended John Terry.

"He's a hero. Without him we're not here. He scores the goals in the big games."

Drogba was no doubt the Man of the Match.

Man of the Match Drogba

Drogba ran to the side and threw himself onto the ground. Then, he held Cech in a long embrace, thanking the keeper for saving Chelsea's night.

"When we have this guy in goal you have to believe," said Drogba.

"It was written, I think, along time ago. I want to dedicate this cup to all the managers we've had before, all the players I've played with before...They (Chelsea players) never give up until the end. This team is amazing."

Drogba's contract expires this summer, but Lampard said he would love him to stay.

The result:

Bayern Munich 1 (Mueller 83), Chelsea 1 (Drogba 88)

After extra time, Chelsea won 4-3 on penalties.

Teams:

Chelsea: Petr Cech, Jose Bosingwa, David Luiz, Gary Cahill, Ashley Cole, Salomon Kalou (Fernando Torres 84), John Obi Mikel, Juan Mata, Frank Lampard (Captain), Ryan Bertrand (Florent Malouda 73), Didier Drogba.

Coach: Roberto Di Matteo.

Australian cricketer 'sexually assaulted American woman and severely beat her fiancee

Australian cricketer Luke Pomersbach has been arrested on molestation and assault charges, a senior Delhi Police official said today.

The 27-year-old is accused of molesting American Zoe Khan and physically attacking her fiancee Sahil Peerzada in a city hotel during a party after Pomersbach's Bangalore team had beaten Delhi in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Thursday.

 Luke Pomersbach

Police commissioner KC Dwived said: 'The lady complained he molested her and after he left the room, he came back again and tried to force his entry into the room.'

'I am shocked to be in this position. I can't believe this is happening and I'm really disappointed when people make things up,' Pomersbach was quoted as saying by The Weekend Australian newspaper.

The Australian cricketer was subsequently granted an interim bail by a city court.

Khan and her fiancee Peerzada are undergoing treatment in a city hospital.

Attended by celebrities from the world of cricket and show business, IPL post-match parties have drawn criticism but league chairman Rajeev Shukla said the body no longer has anything to do with the events.

Sahil Peerzada 

Mr Shukla said: 'IPL is not hosting any party. We have done away with this concept of hosting parties.

'Let the law take its course and police decide, it's about the behaviour of an individual player.'

Pomersbach, who played his only Twenty20 International against New Zealand in 2007, has not been part of the Bangalore playing XI this season.

Sahil Peerzada with his Fiancee Zoe Khan

The incident follows Kolkata franchisee owner and Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's altercation on Wednesday in Mumbai with the Wankhede Stadium officials, who have banned him from entering the ground for next five years.

Earlier on Tuesday, five uncapped Indian cricketers were provisionally suspended following allegations of corruption in the lucrative Twenty20 League

Psychic pig to predict Euro 2012 results!! Can he predict Right lets see!!

If you had followed the World cup 2012 you may have heard about the Octopus named the Paul which predict 2010 World Cup results of matches. A psychic pig is set to take over Paul the Octopus at the European championships in Ukraine and Poland. Kiev's city government said on Friday it would wheel out the porky tipster to give daily forecasts once the tournament kicks off next month.

"A unique oracle hog, a real Ukrainian pig and a psychic which knows the mysteries of football," a statement said. "Every day at 16.00 it will predict the result of the upcoming match." Paul, who has since passed away, shot to fame at the 2010 World Cup after his feeding behaviour was used to correctly predict the winner of each of the Germany's seven matches.

Octopus the Paul 

He also tipped World Cup winners Spain to beat the Netherlands in the final in South Africa from his tank at an aquarium in Oberhausen. Kiev officials said they wanted bring similar excitement to Ukrainians by bringing the telepathic pig to the city's fan zone before matches. 'Psychic' creatures have become the rage since Paul blazed his tentacled trail.

Psychic pig 

A rare two-headed tortoise called Magdalena embarked on a new career as a tipster at last year's ice hockey world championships in Slovakia. Germany discovered a cross-eyed opossum called Heidi, who made an appearance on American television earlier this year to predict the Oscar winners. She died last September. The hog will be eager to sniff out the correct result himself to avoid the chop as pork is a staple of the local cuisine.

What led Shah Rukh Khan to brawl at Wankhede?, Different stories has been said!!!

Even as the suspense continues as to why Bollywood actor and Kolkata Knight Riders' co-owner Shah Rukh Khan allegedly had altercations with the security and officials of Mumbai Cricket Association, it is known that the guard had pushed SRK's daughter at Wankhede stadium angering the actor.

According to a source present at the Wankhede Stadium, Shah Rukh lost his cool after the security deployed by the Mumbai Cricket Association barred the actor's children son Aryan and daughter Suhana  from entering into the ground.

If sources are to be believed, the security guard spoke rudely with the children and pushed Suhana (daughter of SRK) out of the ground which got the actor furious.   "Sab chod tune inko haat kyon lagaya, I am here only jo karna hai karlo," SRK was heard daring the security guards of MCA.
 Shah Rukh, who spoke to the media on Thursday afternoon, denied he had misbehaved or was drunk but said he was reacting to the "obnoxious" and "unpardonable" behaviour of officials at the stadium. He said he had not been present at the match but had gone there after it was over to pick up a large group of his children and their friends.

SRK looks Furious with Security Personal

He said he saw security guards manhandling the children and when he objected a group of officials came over and the altercation started. "I said a few things in anger. I was one and they were 20-25 officials and they were extremely rude. When I tried to answer them, they hid behind others," the actor said. "There was nothing illegal, I was not on the pitch. I know the rules."

The security personnel Dalvi who was deputed at the exit to the VIP area and dressing room refuted that the children had no access passes thus they could not be allowed on the ground.The stadium was already vacated and partial lights too were switched off which was indication for the team and ground staff to vacate the ground.

KKR officials making the situation cool

The children who had accompanied with the actor were stern and refused to leave the ground which coaxed the security personnel to take drastic step.

When Dalvi refuted that he was right in his actions and was doing his duty, reportedly SRK stunned all  by slapping the security personnel which summoned the other members of MCA and IPL officials to intervene. 

The story didnt end here, furious Khan after the brawl walked off towards the dressing room to join his teammates in the celebration, where he bumped into a couple of Mumbai Indians supporters who asked SRK for his autograph and innocently said that though KKR won the match they support their city team which miffed SRK who ended up abusing an young girl (Mumbai Indian) fan.

Navin Shetty the committee member of MCA added, "Shah Rukh was drunk state and started abusing all the committee members and couple of Mumbai Indians fans too. He also slapped one of our security officials Dalvi, when we intervened Shah Rukh along with the Moorani brothers forcibly entered the dressing room too. We have already given an written complaint to the Marine lines police station and imposed an life ban on the actor to enter the Wankhede stadium untill the probe is concluded".
