us but, tomorrow, rain to start the day and clearing away quickly for scotland and northern ireland, a fine day here and a sunny skies chase outwards across much of england and wales. however, the rain could be quite reluctant to clear away from south india and south—east england where it could still be damp in the afternoon. temperatures similar to today, 10—14 but feeling a little fresher. high pressure is to the west of the uk on wednesday, mostly fine with some sunshine but scotland turns cloudier. a week where the uk on wednesday, mostly fine with some sunshine but scotland turns cloudier. a weak weather front will bring some 11—14 but, later in the week, we will start to see some colder air arrive. otherwise, the weather will not change a great deal. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me. on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. hello, i'm olly foster. here's what's coming up on sportsday this evening. it's on! thejoshua and fury camps have put pen to paper but where will the unification superfight take place? a festival with no fans, a sport underfire. how important are the next four days at cheltenham for the future of horse—racing? and ronaldo overtakes pele to set a new world record, but is he really top of the goal—scoring charts? good evening, we're going start with the that huge boxing story that broke this afternoon. promoter eddie hearn says that all parties have put pen to paper for a two—fight deal between the world heavyweight champions anthonyjoshua and tyson fury. he says a venue for the all—british bout will be confirmed in the next month. let's bring in the boxing writer and broadcaster steve bunce. evening, steve. a couple of days ago, fury said this fight was nowhere near getting made. things have accelerated quickly. two days ago tyson fury showed up at the fight show in bolton and said i am drinking 12 pints of lager a day, every sunday i drink a bottle of scotch, i've not been in the gym for six weeks and despite my never happen. the moment he opened his mouth, we should have known an announcement was imminent. that's what we got today, we didn't get a fight date today, but we got confirmation, enthusiastic confirmation, enthusiastic confirmation from eddie hearn that everybody involved has assigned. that is key. 3 everybody involved has assigned. that is key-— that is key. a to fight deal, there was always _ that is key. a to fight deal, there was always going _ that is key. a to fight deal, there was always going to _ that is key. a to fight deal,

representsjoshua. should they get it on. herne represents joshua. you should they get it on. herne representsjoshua. you don't know what you're getting from the tyson fury camp. we have spoken about this before, the tricky bit was getting the broadcasters together, working out the matter behind that. it is the venue going to be tricky do you think? it the venue going to be tricky do you think? , , , think? it depends. the venue is auoin to think? it depends. the venue is going to be _ think? it depends. the venue is going to be outside _ think? it depends. the venue is going to be outside of

not going to happen. bob barron would like it at the new las vegas raiders allegiant arena, 75,000 people at the same time. that is not going to happen because of covid and covid that narrows it down. we are going to go on a 70s globetrotting journey. do you remember muhammad ali in the rumble in thejungle in manila, george foreman and george fraser in jamaica? we are not going to any of those places but we will probably go to the middle east. my money is on saudi arabia because here is the thing, they don't need to take any money at the door. they don't need 90,000 fans roasting and 110 degrees, it could be indoors, air—conditioned, four or 5000, they pay their money and what the quote euphemistically as a side fee which can be a lot of money.— can be a lot of money. there could be a few tricky _ can be a lot of money. there could be a few tricky negotiations - can be a lot of money. there could be a few tricky negotiations over . be a few tricky negotiations over the next weeks and months should it happen, it is the fight that everybody wants, all those belts going to one man in the blue riband division, how big would it be, stephen you have seen pick fights? the biggest thing i have ever seen. it would generate more money than any otherfight in it would generate more money than any other fight in history and that could be usurped by the rematch waited this year. it would generate a four and $500 million, i'm absolutely convinced of that. that doesn't mean everybody is going to be happy with the type of money because there's a suggestion and you might want to cover your ears up here because this is rather nasty. there is a suggestion that the paper view for fans there is a suggestion that the paper view forfans and there is a suggestion that the paper view for fans and great britain could be as much as £40! £40. you do three or 4 million of those at 40 quid, you have a lot of money. haven't you just. haven't. .. quid, you have a lot of money. haven't you just. haven't... thank you, steven bunce. sir bradley wiggins says there is still "a cloud" hanging over british cycling and would like a further investigation into the sport. this follows last week's medical tribunal concluding that the organisation's former chief doctor richard freeman ordered testosterone sachets in 2011 knowing or believing that it was to dope a rider. let's get more on this from our sports correspondent katie gornall. evening to you, katie. wiggins is an important voice in this, because he was an active rider around that time and knew freeman well, what's he said about it all? that is right and there are important voices from that era that we have yet to hear from buts or bradley wiggins has spoken out. he wasn't speaking on a eurosport podcast and he said that he believed it despite what the tribunal found that the testosterone was not for a rider to dope. he said and i quote that "no rider would be stupid enough to do that. you would get caught the amount of time to a texan and that wasn't the type of system that was run." he did go on to say that was run." he did go on to say that the tribunal�*s verdict has a thick cloud on the sport and he called for another investigation to determine who the test was ordered for, and that is the big question that remains in all of this because it was outside of the tribunal�*s scope to determine the athletes that the testosterone was ordered for, it was just theirjob to determine richard freeman's fitness to practice. even though we have this guilty verdict, there is still a number of questions that remain, a cloud of suspicion that hangs over that golden era of british cycling, however unfair that might be for the writers that are is an essential, thatis writers that are is an essential, that is something that wiggins and others in the sport are taking issue in. ., others in the sport are taking issue in. . , . ,_ others in the sport are taking issue in. that tribunal has yet to find whether he _ in. that tribunal has yet to find whether he is _ in. that tribunal has yet to find whether he is fit _ in. that tribunal has yet to find whether he is fit to _ in. that tribunal has yet to find whether he is fit to practice - in. that tribunal has yet to find whether he is fit to practice or| whether he is fit to practice or whether he is fit to practice or whether he is fit to practice or whether he be struck off however long. freeman gave an interview to sunday paper yesterday denying any doping, and he's still waiting to find out from the tribunal whether he will be able to practice again. he gave it to the sunday paper yesterday, what did he say there? he: spoke to the mail on sunday, he was shocked by the verdict and said he maintains that he never doped a rider and he said maintains that he never doped a riderand he said i maintains that he never doped a rider and he said i believe the truth will come out. richard freeman never denied ordering the testosterone to the velodrome back in 2011. he maintained that it was for the performance director shane sutton to treat his erectile dysfunction and that he was bullied into ordering it. that is a something shane sutton has always denied and sunk at the tribunal said was an elaborate falsehood when it found richard freeman guilty of ordering the tester gel with the intention to develop an unnamed athlete. this isn't over yet because on wednesday the tribunal will resume, it will consider whether richard freeman, or it will consider richard freeman, or it will consider richard freeman's fitness to practice and whether that's been impaired and whether he should be struck off and he has also been charged with two anti—doping rule violations, so there will be a uk anti—doping investigation into that. far from over. anti—doping investigation into that. farfrom over. katie, maybe think —— many thanks indeed. let's have a look at some of the day's other headlines. mads wurtz schmidt won the sixth stage of the tirreno—adriatico cycle race in italy sprinting away from a five—man breakaway to secure the first win of his five—year—long professional career. tour de france champion tadej pogacar finished safely in the main bunch to keep his grip on the overall race lead ahead of tomorrow's final stage, a time trial. ireland will be without lock james ryan and centre garry ringrose for saturday's six nations match against england in dublin. ryan was taken off late in ireland's win over scotland for a head injury assessment, while ringrose has an ankle problem. the last three matches in t20 series between india and england will be played behind closed doors in ahmedabad. over 130,000 watched the first two games but there has been a spike in coronavirus cases in the region. the third one—dayer is tomorrow. it would be a very different cheltenham this year. the four day festival, jump racing's blue riband event, starts tomorrow. there was controversy last year when the event was allowed to go ahead with tens of thousands of spectators despite the looming coronavirus crisis. our sports editor dan roan has today been speaking to the british horse racing authorities chief executive julie harrington. few places in british sport with the absence of a crowd is felt more keenly than perhaps here at cheltenham where the famous were of the festival will be absent for the next few days on the comparisons will be drawn with last year inevitably when as you say there were tens of thousands here, around 100,000 during the four days of action and the decision to press on with the festival was very controversial indeed given there was mounting concern about the pandemic. the authorities were following the advice of the government and the experts but ever since there has been a great deal of regret by many that it did in fact go ahead because it has been blamed to some extent in worsening the situation. very different this year, a range of protocols, the irish personnel that are involved, the jockeys protocols, the irish personnel that are involved, thejockeys and protocols, the irish personnel that are involved, the jockeys and the officials are being kept in their own separate by a secure bubble, but there will be hopes of course that for those watching on television and listening on the radio they will still be able to lift spirits, it is still be able to lift spirits, it is still the cheltenham festival despite the absence of crowds and should promise a great deal of excitement and lift people positive morale. there is another controversy though as well. notjust about the decision of last year. the recent distressing images of the top trainer gordon elliott and the amateurjockey rob trainer gordon elliott and the amateur jockey rob james trainer gordon elliott and the amateurjockey robjames having been photographed posing with dead horses has caused a great deal of trouble for the sport. it finds itself in something of a crisis, both men have been banned as a result. but racing finds itself not having to convince the public that it does care about the public that it does care about the welfare of horses, and it would earlier on today i had the chance to speak to the new chief executive of the british horseracing authority, julie harrington about the issue. i think that the images shown in recent— think that the images shown in recent weeks and seeing those breakthrough into mainstream media and outside of racing media is damaging. and we really need to redouble — damaging. and we really need to redouble efforts to build that public — redouble efforts to build that public trust and to show the general public— public trust and to show the general public that_ public trust and to show the general public that horse welfare is

of everything we do and that this isjust a truly centre of everything we do and that this is just a truly wonderful sunport _ this is just a truly wonderful support. we really need to ensure that the _ support. we really need to ensure that the racing fans of the future, those _ that the racing fans of the future, those people who may potentially own horses _ those people who may potentially own

horse racing. and so we've got— correct image of horse racing. and so we've got a lot of work to do to make _ so we've got a lot of work to do to make sure — so we've got a lot of work to do to make sure that message gets across. the implementation of potential new horse welfare reforms has been delayed because of the pandemic but certainly the recent controversy has given that added urgency. it won't just be here at the race course that the absence of crowds will be keenly felt of course. the local economy here in cheltenham will take a hefty hit, it depends to a great extent on the festival each year to generate tens of millions of pounds. it will miss out this time around. let's hope the crowns are back for next year's hope the crowns are back for next yea r�*s festival hope the crowns are back for next year's festival but never the west over the next few days, some of the world's greatest forces will be in action here for what remains the greatest show on show on turf even if it is a first without those famous crowds. our sorts without those famous crowds. our sports editor _ without those famous crowds. our sports editor dan rowen. the former england cricket star sarah taylor is going to join the coaching staff at sussex for the new season. she'll work with wicket—keepers in the professional squad and also the county's pathway programme, i spoke to her earlier about breaking down barriers in the sport. i got igota i got a chance with sussex last summer to be in and around the group and the lads were brilliant and to learn for me it was more probably about me than was about them and i learned so much and sussex were really helping me with what i did and thought i had something to offer. they did not second—guess at all as soon as i walked through the door, they did not care that i was a woman. they literally knew what i was there to do and they were great. i do by pushing the boundaries i guess and breaking glass ceilings but i think i may be the first but
