Chris Eubank Jr is to fight America's Tony Jeter at the Sheffield Arena on 24 October.

The 26-year-old middleweight, on the undercard of Kell Brook's IBF welterweight title defence against Argentina's Diego Chaves, is fighting for the first time since joining promoters Matchroom.

Victory will likely lead to a fight against Ireland's Spike O'Sullivan on 12 December.

It's the final of the Great British Bake-Off tomorrow. So which sporting star would you bake a cake for and why?

England head coach Stuart Lancaster: “Clearly you’re in a dark place. You want to finish a game and brush off the result. But you try as a leader to give players a sense of direction and purpose.

"Internally, I'm determined the team stays together. We played brilliant rugby for 12 to 18 months. We've won a lot of games. 

“We lost the Wales game having been 22-12 up - we should have not have put ourselves in a position where we lost the game. The Australia game – the last 10 minutes was not reflection of the game.

“I had one-to-ones with the boys yesterday. They said Australia were one of the best teams we played against in the last four years. We were beaten by the best side."

More from England head coach Stuart Lancaster's news conference: "They are hurting. We had a good chat and talked about a few things - the responsibility to put in a performance for their country.

"The last impression you leave is an important one. It's very important we put a positive and attacking display together.

"We can win major honours. We didn’t win this but I 100% believe the group of players at the Six Nations will be same as what is out there."

Brazilian forwardNeymarwill remain at Barcelona "for life," according to the club's technical director Roberto Fernandez.

The 23-year-old, who scored 43 goals, last season is tied to Barca until June 2018 but the club already want to offer him a new and improved deal that would reportedly make the player the second highest paid at the club after Lionel Messi.

"We are currently working on Neymar's contract extension and I don't think there will be any type of problem," Fernandez told Spanish paper Marca.

"I have no doubt in my mind that Neymar will spend the rest of his life at Barcelona."

Gareth Bale says he is "ready to go" for Wales' Euro 2016 qualifiers against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Andorra after recovering from injury.

Real Madrid's Bale hurt his calf on 15 September, but came on as a substitute in the 1-1 draw at Atletico Madrid.

The 26-year-old said: "I have prepared well for the last couple of weeks with my rehab. We are all on board, ready to go. The calf is OK and it was a nice 20 minutes against Atletico to get the legs going for the next two games."

Wales need one point to qualify for the finals of a major tournament for the first time since the 1958 World Cup.

England head coach Stuart Lancaster: "We scored four tries in the first game and played well. But in the other two we didn't.

"I'll never get over it. We are the host nation but we are out of the World Cup and that hurts deeply."

Right, stop being so lazy and get involved if you would.

Tomorrow - as any self-respecting baker will know - it is the final of the Great British Bake-Off.

So we want to know this... Which sporting star would you like to bake a cake for and why?
