JEFF POWELL, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS: As today's top-tier procrastinate throne for months to decide whether or not they will fight each other, the time has come to search for John L Sullivan. Of course, not the great man in person. He died more than a hundred years ago. But first to find the spirit that inspired the last bareknuckle world heavyweight champion, who went on to become the first glove holder of the most coveted of all sporting awards. With his fists, he was punished by millions for the demise of all-comers. Lionized for his lurid escapades outside the arena. Courageous in brutal battles that might go on and on for three to four hours.

Anthony Romanello, an Italian crime mobster, has been found guilty of shaking down Shuqeri 'Bruno' Selimaj and attacking him inside a Lincoln Square Steak restaurant in Manhattan in 2017. Following the guilty verdict in Brooklyn Federal Court on Monday evening, DailyMail.com cameras caught Romanello smiling downbeat as he left Brooklyn Federal Court. At his sentencing, he could spend up to 40 years in prison. Joseph Celso, a Genovese crime soldier, was also accused of participating in the assault.

Romanello, 86, is accused of shaking Shuqeri 'Bruno' Selimaj' and attacking him inside the Lincoln Square Steak restaurant in Manhattan in 2017. Romanello was seen entering Brooklyn Federal Court on Wednesday with his wife wearing a blue windbreaker, according to DailyMail.com images. Joseph Chelso, a Genovese crime family soldier who is suspected of participating in the assault, was seen walking into the courthouse.

The clip was played at a pending Brooklyn trial against Anthony 'Rom' Romanello, 86, an alleged capo in the Genovese family, according to jurors. The two guys can be seen in the video conversing in what seems to be a tense discussion before Romanello gives Selimaj's jaw a right handed punch. Selimaj can be seen raising his hands as he backs away from Romanello and another man, who the New York Post identified as Irish bookie Mike Regan.

Tyson Fury has given Oleksandr Usyk until September 1st if he wants to organise a £500 million unification battle or else the Briton will withdraw from retirement. The Morecambe-based heavyweight delivered the ultimatum to the Ukrainian fighter, who beat Anthony Joshua on Satuday in a social media post. For the first time in nearly 20 years, the much-anticipated unification bout would bring together the two countries. In a video posted on social media, Fury told his followers, "I'm gonna give you all seven days, til September 1."

Joshua's sparring partner claims he was "left out to dry" by the people around him before claiming that he would have done whatever he could to get the microphone out of the two-time world champion's hand. As he appeared to suffer with the emotions of his second straight defeat, the 32-year-old British fighter went on an explicit tirade covering various aspects including his weight, his first forays into the sport, and the situation in Ukraine, where he was from his first forays into the sport. "I'd like to apologise on AJ's behalf," Campbell told SkySports viewers. He may not like me for this and his colleagues may not, but they left him out to dry there. That was so out of character but the people around him, where were they?'

Joshua lost by a split decision to Usyk, who successfully defended his IBF, WBO, and WBA heavyweight belts in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night. The 32-year-old had been captured in a notably jovial mood as he returned to the team with members of his squad after staging a memorable and empassioned speech to the crowd following the bout. However, the mood soon became sour when a bystander called out to Joshua to 'keep it professional,' causing the former world champion to lose his temper and react with ferocious. As security held him back and escorted him towards his dressing room, Joshua shouted: 'Who are you talking to?Who the f*** are you talking to?Are you mad?'

Anthony Joshua lost by a hugely disappointing split-decision to Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night, but the Briton was up 5-1 after six rounds. After losing unanimous decision to the masterful Ukrainian last September, the 32-year-old put on a much-improved show as he attempted to reclaim his heavyweight belts. Joshua got off to a good start in the game, perhaps nicking the first two or three rounds, but two of the three judges had it even at the halfway point, while others had to abandon the Ukrainian.

Anthony Joshua is bouncing after losing in Saudi Arabia to Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday. For the second time, the British fighter lost on split decision as Usyk defended his heavyweight titles, defeating Joshua for the second time. At the end, Joshua threw two of Usyk's belts out of the ring and onto the floor, heading for his changing room before he fought back to shake Usyk's hand.

On Tuesday evening, a devastating fire engulfed a building at New York's historic Grossinger resort, a once-famous hotel that welcomed hundreds of thousands of visitors in the summer. The fire on the resort's property in Liberty, New York, took six hours to put out, and police are now looking at the cause. Grossinger's was the primary inspiration behind the fictional Kellerman's resort in 1987 hit film Dirty Dancing, which attracted a diverse range of celebrities into the twentieth century.
