For every Wrexham, there’s a few Salford Citys. Appreciate their bigger budget has been a big factor, but they have absolutely nailed everything else.

Investigation: Tomorrow night, Turki Al-Sheikh will stage Benn vs Eubank as boxing’s most powerful man.

Behind the glamour, he is central to a regime that rules with an iron fist.

This is the Turki Al-Sheikh that few people know.

#EubankBenn undoubtedly dominates this week’s @boxingnewsonline.bsky.social.

For those Welsh boxing hardcores, you can find my report of Willy Gilheaney’s dethroning of national champ Ethan George.

Willy’s comeback story, losing five stone while overcoming inactivity and depression, is fantastic.

My nine-month secondment with @improvementcymru.bsky.social has flown by. The sign of a good time, no doubt. 🫡

Our improvement work for the #LearningDisability community in Wales makes such a valuable difference.

Here’s a short showcase of the programme’s achievements. 📽️

I’m still in awe of the iPhone 16 camera (even if it loses resolution when uploaded to BlueSky).

Really enjoyed doing this with the very good people at No Place Like Home. I recap the STAND, Producer, MUNDIAL journey and also chat about what might be next.

Go out and check out their extensive archive of chats with very good people. Any help in spreading the word much appreciated 👍

The iPhone 16 Pro camera takes some getting used to.

Absolutely ridiculous quality. 😶

Last night, I genuinely felt lucky to watch #MrBurton at Chapter Arts and then hear from those involved.

It charts Richard Burton’s origins from a Welsh mining community, before his ascent to Hollywood stardom.

In cinemas now, I’d definitely recommend, especially 100 years on from Burton’s birth.

The only thing I don’t like about this weekend is that it has to end.

What a few days.

I know we shouldn’t take TV too seriously, but the underlying themes of connection and community in #Severance and #Mickey17 has been a nice antidote to the toxic news cycle.

We published reports from six new projects who are improving the lives of people with a #LearningDisability in Wales.

They received grants and mentoring, gaining knowledge to create a lasting impact.

This is what @improvementcymru.bsky.social is all about.

Tonight at 9pm on @C4Dispatches ‘Michael Sheen’s Secret Million Pound Giveaway’. The secret bit was the setting up the company obviously it’s not secret anymore! #FairBankingAct

‘It’s not because I want people to think I’m great’: Michael Sheen on paying off £1m of his neighbours’ debts
The actor grew up poor, got rich, then lost everything backing the 2019 Homeless World Cup. Now he’s giving away more of his money to help 900 total strangers. Doesn’t he think he’s done enough?

Just when you think the #SixNations couldn’t get any worse, we find a new low.

#WALENG wasn’t too bad at halftime. Then the second half was a really hard watch.

I don’t know when this rotten run ends, but it won’t happen until we have a major reset.

A leading boxing “fixer” says crime boss Daniel Kinahan struck a multi-million deal with global fight promoter Top Rank to be its exclusive consultant outside of the U.S., after Kinahan helped him get Tyson Fury to agree to a rematch with Deontay Wilder.

One of the biggest privileges of contributing to @boxingnewsonline.bsky.social is giving Welsh prospects their first real coverage in the sport’s premier publication.

I’m usually cautious, but I’m certain the Croft twins will lead the next generation of Welsh boxers.

The latest issue is out now. 👇
