Welshman Lee Selby, 28, is hoping to make a big impact on his debut in the United States on Thursday when he defends his IBF featherweight crown against Mexican veteran Fernando Montiel in Arizona. 

But he is also hoping to set up a clash against fellow Briton Josh Warrington.

"I want to be a worldwide star and to do that you need the big fights in America," Selby told Press Association Sport.

"But Warrington is still a fight I'd be interested in. He's got a big fan base and the UK fans want it, so it's a lucrative fight."

How about this for an incentive? A £1m bonus will be paid if any horse should win three of jump racing's biggest races this season.

The Jockey Club is offering the incentive for the treble of Haydock's Betfair Chase, the King George VI Chase at Kempton and the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Officials from the organisation, which runs all three courses, say the prize is a tribute to the steeplechaser Kauto Star who died earlier this year.

Kauto Star achieved the hat-trick, earning a similar payout which applied in the 2006-07 season.

Stuart Broad took his share of the blame for England's failure to put greater pressure on Pakistan, who finished day one of the first Test in Abu Dhabi on 286 for four. It could have been could have been a different story ha

Broad took a wicket off a no-ball and Ian Bell spilled two straightforward catches.

"I blame myself for the no-ball," said Broad. "We pride ourselves on our catching and not bowling no-balls.

"I can't think of many times I've had one chalked off, if at all. It's a feeling of (being) distraught.

"I'm not a regular no-ball bowler so it took me a bit by surprise, but it's not really acceptable at this level. I apologised at tea to all of the guys because it was disappointing."

Gary Cahill knows Chelsea need to start making their own luck if they are to turn around their rotten season.

Jose Mourinho's men have been a shadow of the side that so impressively won the title last term, having lost half of their opening eight Premier League fixtures.

"Luck's not on our side at the minute, but you have to make your own luck in terms of performances at the club," said the defender, who captained England for the first time in the win in Lithuania.

"That's something I'm determined to put right and I'm sure everyone else is. It's not a nice feeling at the minute and one we don't want to have for very much longer." 

Gloucester have confirmed they are in talks with a number of interested parties as they continue their search for new owners or investors. 

The club are controlled by Ryan Walkinshaw, who took over following the death of his father Tom - a former Formula 1 team owner - in 2010.

"When they conclude, we will issue a statement announcing our intentions with regard to moving forward with new investors, or continuing to operate under the current ownership model," said a statement.
