    Fury celebrates...with 10,000-calorie Nando'spublished at 14:04

    Boxing

    Heavyweight boxing. It's all about endurance. Twelve rounds, soaking up punch after punch, and then when it's all over, noshing your way through a 10,000-calorie Nando's.

    Yes, the Sun reports, external that after beating Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday night, Britain's new world champion treated himself to 16 double chicken wraps, six portions of chips, and five corns on the cob. Cost? £201. Total calorie intake? 9,936 - four times the daily recommended amount.

    Now that really is cheeky.

    Could all Premier League matches be screened live?published at 13:52

    Football

    That's the suggestion of Virgin Media chief Tom Mockridge, who says it is wrong that only 40 per cent of Premier League matches are shown live and that elsewhere in Europe every single match is available to be watched by television viewers.

    He says the Premier League could follow the example of the NFL in the USA where regional blackouts operate to protect attendances - for example viewers in the Manchester area could not watch live home games involving the Manchester clubs.

    Sport's biggest chokes

    Vince: Has to be Guillermo Coria in the 2004 French Open final surely. Two championship points and still lost.

    Dave Walker: Worst choke? Greg Norman in the 1996 Masters, had a 6 stroke lead and then carded a 78 to lose to Faldo who shot a 67.

    El Barrio: Man Utd surrendering a 15 point lead to Arsenal in the 97/98 season. Much worse than Newcastle in 95/96.

    Flemming Jensen: Nothing comes really close to Jean van de Velde's melt-down. Honourable mention to Jana Novotna at 1993 Wimbledon, though.
