This Christmas is going to be so tough for so many. For over a million households who have fallen off the pay roll this year Christmas will be faced with confusion and sadness. If we can do one thing this Christmas, let’s be kind and understanding ♥️

Eddie Hearn was a proud man.
And a happy one.

We at Top Rank will start on Monday working to put that fight together.

Cricket
Stuart Broad urged everyone to follow his lead.
Steve Smith tried not to think about cricket for a minute.
Even when preparing for a Test match it’s important to have a little downtime and switch off, even if it’s just for an hour over your Sunday morning coffee. This is not something that comes easy to me as I find it hard to stop visualising the game or shadow batting! #balancepic.twitter.com/jQZ6GiDHmv
