On Friday night, Anthony Joshua knocked Francis Ngannou down for the first time in his career, finishing the former UFC heavyweight champion in the second round of their highly awaited match in Saudi Arabia.

So, with the above in mind, Mail Sport selected the remainder of AJ and Fury's known opponents, Kevin Johnson, Dillian Whyte, Otto Wallin, and Wladimir Klitschko, to whom they will support in the Battle of Britain contest.

The curse of Omaze?According to an expert, raffle winners sell out less than a year after purchasing their mega mansions as a £100,000 prize fund 'only pays for major running expenses.'

According to an expert, Omaze house winners have stopped selling after less than a year of owning their mega mansions because the £100,000 reward barely covers the regular cost of running the huge buildings. Lucky winners of the prize draw are given a cash cushion to help with the running expenses, as well as stunning houses. However, MailOnline discovered earlier this year that the majority of the Omaze house awards were sold less than 12 months after being deemed winners. Since being an expert in high-end property, the winners have been able to pay for electricity, training, surveillance, and maintenance, which have prompted many people to stay in the house. The Omaze winners were shown with the prize homes, which they had sold.

EXCLUSIVE: MailOnline spent a week in a foreign country on a winning ticket before Omaze began buying 'raffling' mansions in 2020, and most of them are not lived in. Of the 14 stunning homes that have been won, only three of them are still live in by the people who scooped their bricks and mortar - or in some cases, modern-looking steel and glass - jackpots.

After changing his name and becoming '100 percent Russian,' veteran heavyweight Kevin "Kingpin" Johnson weighed in for his latest combat wearing a Vladimir Putin t-shirt. During his 20-year career, the 43-year-old has battled some of the best names in the heavyweight division, including Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. But 'Kingpin' revealed recently that he was now 'Kevin Vladimirovich' in honor of Putin, the Russian president who is now an international pariah after Ukraine's invasion.

Love it or list it? How fortunate ticket holders claim that only THREE of the 15 winners of the coveted Omaze mansions live in the 'dream homes,' since they are far away from work and families

Just three of the 15 winners of the luxury Omaze mansions still live in their 'dream homes,' with others choosing to cash in on millions or rent them out to lucky tenants. Earlier this week, it was revealed that widow June Smith, 74, had won the lavish £4.5 million Cornish mansion so she could help her children and grandchildren with the 'new chapter in their lives.' However, the grandmother-of-six isn't alone. Five winners have already sold their houses in the last three years, and seven others have rented them out or are trying to sell them.

EXCLUSIVE: What happens when the champagne has been drunk, the media have left and the new owners of a dream house are left with an enviable dilemma - to move, sell or rent out their amazing new mansion? The Omaze awards, which have risen from £11 million to more than £3 million, also came with a hefty cheque to help with costs. Usually the property is in the United Kingdom, but a lucky grandfather from Wigan won a luxurious £2 million holiday villa in Marbella last year with £250k in cash for his £25 ticket. MailOnline talked to several recent Omaze winners to see what happened next after they were given the prize of a lifetime in the bimonthly draw.

Kevin Johnson, 34, won the new Omaze Million Pound House Draw, a four-bedroom Victorian townhouse in highly coveted Islington, North London, less than half an hour from where he currently lives. Kevin will also get £100,000 in cash to help him settle in - with the house mortgage free and all stamp duty and legal fees paid. Kevin and the family are planning to move to the luxurious pad as soon as possible, whether he lives in the house, rent it out, or sell it. However, if Mr Johnson does decide to rent it out, local estate agents estimate that the house will sell for between £6,000 and £7,000 per month.

Taylor was sentenced to death in 2008 for Angela Rowe and her three children's murders, aged 10, six, and five, the youngest of whom were found dead, each with a bullet in the head, top right. Taylor had long claimed that he was in California when the shootings occurred, but that his allegations of innocence were dismissed again and again.

Amber McLaughlin buffed her teeth a few times, uttered her final words, and shut her eyes as she was executed on Tuesday, becoming the first transgender woman to be put to death years after she was found guilty of murdering her ex-girlfriend. As the fatal dose of pentobarbital was administered, McLaughlin, 49, spoke quietly with a spiritual advisor at her side. In a final, written, statement, McLaughlin said, 'I am sorry for what I did.' 'I am a loving and caring person.' Beverly Guenther, a former lover of the Missouri defendant, was found guilty of stalking and killing her mother Beverly Guenther before dumping her body near the Mississippi River in St. Louis. A jury was unable to reach a decision, but a judge sentenced McLaughlin to death in 2006.

A 19-year-old Missouri woman turned down an emergency motion requesting to watch her father's execution

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 28, 2022
A federal judge in Missouri has denied a 19-year-old woman's request to watch her father die by lethal injection tomorrow, upholding a state statute that barres executions from being watched. Corionsa Ramey, 19 (pictured left), registered a petition last week with the ACLU arguing that the Missouri bill was a violation of her First and 14th Amendment rights. A federal judge ordered on Friday that prohibiting Ramey from attending the execution of her father Kevin Johnson, 37, was not unconstitutional because the state was not treating her 'less favorably than similarly situated people.' In 2005, Johnson was sentenced to death for shooting a cop in St. Louis, and he is set to be executed on Tuesday, November 29. After the death of his 12-year-old brother just hours before, he fatally shot Missouri police officer William McEntee (inset) in a fit of rage.

Despite a state law that barred those under the age of 21 from attending executions, a 19-year-old woman in Missouri has requested a federal court for permission to watch her father die by lethal injection. Kevin Johnson, 37, was sentenced to death for killing a cop in St. Louis in 2005 and is scheduled to be executed on November 29. After the death of his 12-year-old brother just hours earlier, he fatally shot Missouri police officer William McEntee in a fit of rage. Corionsa 'Khorry' Ramey, 19, described Johnson as "the most important person in my life" in her appeal to the federal court in Kansas City.

Laxman Narasimhan, Starbucks' current CEO, has been named

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 2, 2022
Laxman Narasimhan, 55, (main), was voted as the next Starbucks CEO on Thursday, just hours after he revealed his surprise departure from Reckitt, which he had worked with PepsiCo and McKinsey. Narasimham will now return to the United States from London, where he spent most of the COVID-19 pandemic caring for his elderly mother, but the two children, who live in America, are still divorced. It comes as Starbucks enters a turbulent time. In the last year, more than 200 of its US stores have unionized, with employees demanding greater benefits and pay at a time of rising inflation.
