certainly the regulations that come in in the last ten years of being based around player welfare, so not leaving players on the field and not leaving players on the field and not leaving players on the field and not leaving players would be my advice they had a concussion and feel like they had a concussion and feel like they have them on the field if they pick up niggling injuries. 12 months on from his last bout, world heavyweight champion anthonyjoshua is back in the ring this weekend with his belts on the line against the manadatory challenger kubrat pulev at wembley arena. victory will move him and his team a step closer to that potential unifying bout with tyson fury. promoter eddie hearn joins us tonight. eddie, good evening. always great to speak to you. pair going head—to—head for the first time today. how concerned should anthony be by the challenge he faces on saturday? i think we know kubrat pulev is the main challenger. he is number one with the ibf and had one defeat in his career to vladimir clicks go. he is been a top light heavyweight for a number of years now so the challenges rear. ajay has repaired ha rd challenges rear. ajay has repaired hard for and lots of talking about the tyson fury fight but we know this is a very difficult obstacle this is a very difficult obstacle this ahead of him saturday and i think you will see a great fight. two great heavyweights ready to do battle in this unique environment and what the sporting world we live in at the moment. worth pointing out fa ns in at the moment. worth pointing out fans are back in the arena for that one this weekend. talking about tyson fury in a moment but let's get a sense of how far he has come. we know obviously he lost to andy ruiz jr back injune and then i initially came back to when his belts back. how much has he learned it from that experience and has he changed as a boxer as a result? i think that he was breezing through opponents and the clinch co. fight was a war at wimbley but he is going in there and knock people out with ease but he was still a novice. he came crashing down at madison square garden and did not have the best preparation for that fight but andy ruiz deserved a victory in anthony went away and improved and worked on tactics and put on a master class in the rematch to win. people are saying we see the cautious ajay that we saw against andy ruiz in the second fight i will be see the old ajay who likes to be a wrecking ball and go in their industry people and i think the answer is a bit of both. people, he understands what it takes to beat the stop heavyweights but he will never change in the sense of when he smells blood he wants to end the fight. he is a great finisher and knows the fans want to see knockouts and he wants to revive them and i believe he will provide one saturday. still not sure what tyson fury would do at the beginning of next year potentially fighting deontay wilder again but i guess all eyes on that to fight till you have a range between tyson fury and anthonyjoshua. if tyson fury does fight wilder again with a perfect matchup between the two of them potentially? our expectations are victory on saturday and then move straight into that tyson fury fight. and i think the keenness from the other side as well tojust and i think the keenness from the other side as well to just get that under way. we know a lot of things are difficult at the moment interns we re are difficult at the moment interns were the fight might be and we have no idea where krause will be allowed back first but there is no reason we cannot have her agreement in place before the fight in may orjune of next year and give the fight fans what they want. everybody wants to fight in the fighters won the fight and no excuse for it not to happen but we are definitely not looking past kubrat pulev, especially because he's about 20 feet away from me having dinner so i don't want to speak too loudly. so fingers crossed it will go our way saturday and we can move forward to the undisputed fight. i can move forward to the undisputed fight. i thought we interrupted your dinner but i definitely don't want to interrupt his, that's for sure. that's not a good idea. best of luck this weekend, eddie hearn. eddie hearn ahead of that fight this weekend. staying with big names, there will be plenty on display as cricket's big bash gets under way in australia. 12 english stars among those talking part. the defending champions the sydney sixers slipped to defeat in their opening match against the hobart hurricanes. james vince hit a great 67 off 41 balls as the sixers chased their target of 179, but a flurry of wickets followed and they fell 16 runs short. eight sides compete in the tournament. and someone who will have enjoyed watching that is the world's top ranked batsman, dawid malan, who'll be turning out for hobart. he's been self—isolating in his hotel in australia after his match—winning performances for england in their t20 series win over south africa. he's been giving joe wilson an insight into the reality of cricket during covid. dawid malan is a man in demand. his recent outstanding batting means he finds himself leading the all—time t20 rankings. he finds itself representing hobart hurricanes in the big bash but a fortnight of quarantine first in perth. in this hotel room. not too bad. i made the bed special for this survey is a conceit really well done, greatjob. but that is sort of the root and i have the gym equipment in a corner here and the people in austria have been fantastic giving me the equipment and i have a trainer out of the room that is too heavy for me to move in. and with the new rules and regulations from the western austrian government, no one is let it help get him into that is stuck outside of the moment. so they are actually sending me a treadmill tomorrow for me to construct myself. this kind of you awaits in tasmania. cricket proceeds more or less everywhere. so let's try and keep track with this and eight. many of the best in 20 players are currently in australia. lots of them have just spent weeks in bubbles in india, england 581 a series with some advocate was abandoned when the bow secure bubble burst and in a new year, there will be an england test series in its for lockup. more quarantine. travel is normal but confinement is not. two young england players wary of bubbles come the tom banton and tom curran, decided to go home rather thanjoin the big bash. the ecb says other mental health screenings will happen before upcoming tourists and dawid malan welcomes that. especially when i started you just think i'm a tired and not playing well and there is no real awareness when you are actually feeling really burnt out and you felt mentally drained and the pressure that comes with playing international sport with kenny cricket, scrutiny of the year under 110w cricket, scrutiny of the year under now with social media commentators, eve ryo ne now with social media commentators, everyone has an opinion these days. eventually it does get to you and i think probably even for five years ago really realised. dawid malan hits a peak at 33 and even in twe nty20 hits a peak at 33 and even in twenty20 it's all about timing. chase that success but not at any price. how to see more of those performances in the big bash this year. a campaign group called gymnasts for change has been launched with the aim of wiping out abuse in the sport. jennifer pinches, who represented britain in artistic gymnastics at the 2012 olympics, and former elite—level gymnast claire heafford set up the group to help those who have suffered. uk sport and sport england are carrying out a formal independent review into the sport following allegations earlier this year. the campaign group is aiming to empower athletes to make sure abuse ends. lots of other sports when it's been revealed that those sports are not safe for competitors, those exports have auto corrected and have taken the opportunity themselves to change the opportunity themselves to change the formats, to change the competition rules and to put in place safety measures. in gymnastics however when there have been dance 01’ however when there have been dance or when there have been major accidents and when sexual abuse has been revealed, unfortunately the powers that be have not taken an opportunity to self—correct and redirect the future of the sport. so we now it really feel that we need to prove the ways in which the sport is damaging gymnasts so we can establish that redlines in the future will not be allowed to be crossed. let's quickly catch up with some of today's other sports news stories. england will play four tests in india next year, including their first day—night test in the country. the third will played under lights at ahmedabad's 110,000—capacity sardar patel stadium, the largest cricket ground in the world. scotland have handed head coach gregor townsend a new two—year deal. he'll lead them into the 2023 world cup, his six—year spell making him the longest serving coach of the national team in the professional era. lewis hamilton will race at the final grand prix of the season in abu dhabi after testing negative for coronavirus. george russell replaced him at mercedes in bahrain last weekend. and finally

global stage of the olympics in the world championships as well, is the olympics something that you've set your sights on and how will that work for you with to qualification? my work for you with to

was made this evening. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. goodbye. good evening. extensive cloud meant sunshine was in short supply today, and actually that cloud has started to bring some pretty heavy rain in from the west. that will continue to journey eastwards as we go through tonight. behind it, still quite a lot of cloud, some clear breaks, but also some showers which could be heavy. and for wales and the south west of england, those showers could even be thundery. not a cold night, though, 4—9 degrees. so, tomorrow morning, we start off with this band of rain across eastern areas. things should improve a little for eastern england, but i think eastern scotland will keep a lot of rain throughout the day. further west, some brightness, still quite a lot of cloud and some showers, some of which will be heavy. the winds will be fairly light. temperatures ranging from seven degrees in glasgow to 11 in london, cardiff and plymouth. now, saturday gives a better chance of some sunshine. certainly the driest, brightest day of the weekend for most. on sunday, we'll see cloud bringing heavy rain, brisk winds, but it will feel mild. hello, i'm ros atkins. welcome to outside source. borisjohnson says leaving the eu without a trade deal is now a "strong possibility". looking at where we are, i do think it is vital that everybody now gets ready for that australian option. the australian option is not having a trade deal. and it also means having to trade on world trade organisation rules. the prime minister telling ever to prayerfor
