All public boxing events under the jurisdiction of the British Boxing Board of Control were cancelled this morning. It will be reviewed again in April.

Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has also now confirmed, external that all their events in March and April have now been postponed.

Newcastle's Lewis Ritson was due to fight Miguel Vazquez on 4 April but this has been rescheduled to 27 June.

And Doncaster’s Terri Harper was set to defend her WBC super-featherweight against Natasha Jonas from Liverpool on 24 April but this has also been put back to June.

There’s still no news from Queensbury promoter Frank Warren on whether the much anticipated all-British clash between Joe Joyce and Daniel Dubois will take place.

The two unbeaten heavyweights are due to headline London’s O2 on 11 April. Last week Warren said that he was “optimistic” that the fight would still go ahead, but it’s looking increasingly unlikely given the recent updates.

Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham has issued a response to the news that Euro 2020 has been postponed:

“People’s health and well-being has to be the primary concern for us all, so we fully support Uefa’s decision to postpone Euro 2020," he said.

“We will be considering the implications for all England teams and our organisation over the coming days, including any implications on the date of the 2021 women’s Euro which we are very proud to be hosting.

“We will continue to work in collaboration with the Premier League, English Football League and our football partners on the scenarios that could follow Uefa’s decision today and ensure we are ready to put them into immediate action once it is appropriate to do so.

“Until then, we will continue to follow the advice of government and the health authorities.”

A decision on the Women's Euro 2021 Championship is yet to be made but reports say it will be decided upon in the summer.

To summarise, here are the key parts of that statement:

• Euro 2020 is postponed for a year (11 June - 11 July 2021) in the hope all domestic competitions can be completed.
• All Uefa competitions and matches (including friendlies) for clubs and national teams for both men and women have been put on hold until further notice.
• Euro 2020 play-off matches scheduled for the end of March, to be played in the international window at the start of June.
• Decisions on dates for other Uefa competitions in men's and women's football - including Women's Euro 2021, Champions League and Europa League - will be taken and announced in due course.

More from Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin:

“I would also like to thank Alejandro Dominguez and Conmebol, who have agreed to move Conmebol’s 2020 Copa America in order to follow the recommendations issued by the international public health organisations to enact extreme measures and as a result of Euro 2020 being postponed. This means that clubs and leagues in Europe will have as little disruption as possible in the availability of their players. These joint efforts and especially this coordinated and responsible decision, are deeply appreciated by the whole European football community.

“I would like to thank FIFA and its President, Gianni Infantino, who has indicated it will do whatever is required to make this new calendar work. In the face of this crisis, football has shown its best side with openness, solidarity and tolerance.”

Here is more from Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin on the news that Euro 2020 is postponed for a year.

“Football is an uplifting and powerful force in society. The thought of celebrating a pan-European festival of football in empty stadia, with deserted fan zones while the continent sits at home in isolation, is a joyless one and one we could not accept to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the competition.

“I would like to thank the European Club Association, the European Leagues and FIFPro Europe for their great work today and for their cooperation. I would also like to thank from the bottom of my heart the 55 national associations, their presidents and general secretaries, and my colleagues from the executive committee for their support and wise decisions.

"The fine detail will be worked out in the coming weeks but the basic principles have been agreed and that is a major step forward. We have all shown that we are responsible leaders. We have demonstrated solidarity and unity. Purpose over profit. We’ve achieved this today.

Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin has released a statement:

“We are at the helm of a sport that vast numbers of people live and breathe that has been laid low by this invisible and fast-moving opponent. It is at times like these, that the football community needs to show responsibility, unity, solidarity and altruism.

“The health of fans, staff and players has to be our number one priority and in that spirit, Uefa tabled a range of options so that competitions can finish this season safely and I am proud of the response of my colleagues across European football. There was a real spirit of co-operation, with everyone recognising that they had to sacrifice something in order to achieve the best result.

“It was important that, as the governing body of European football, Uefa led the process and made the biggest sacrifice. Moving Euro 2020 comes at a huge cost for Uefa but we will do our best to ensure that the vital funding for grassroots, women’s football and the development of the game in our 55 countries is not affected. Purpose over profit has been our guiding principle in taking this decision for the good of European football as a whole.

The statement concludes with this line: "Decisions on dates for other Uefa competitions, whether club or national team for men or women, will be taken and announced in due course."

No news then on Women's Euro 2021 and the under-21s competition.

We have known for a while, but Uefa have now confirmed that Euro 2020 has been postponed for a year due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Racing had been soldiering on while other sports came to a halt, and it managed to get the showpiece Cheltenham Festival completed, but following the recommendations about non-essential contact, the Grand National was cancelled and it was probably inevitable that this news - racing in GB suspended - would follow.

Though racing is, like other sports, ‘only’ a sport, concerns are perhaps higher than elsewhere as it is believed that either directly or indirectly it employs up to 100,000 from stud farms to horse transporters to casual workers on a race-day, on top of the more obvious jockeys, trainers, bookmakers etc.

Earlier, it was confirmed Copa America has been postponed until 2021.

"This is an extraordinary measure for an unexpected situation and responds to the fundamental need to avoid the exponential evolution of the virus," said CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez. Dominguez.

"It wasn't easy to take this decision but we must safeguard at all times the health of our players and all those who form part of the big South American football family.

"We have no doubts that the oldest international tournament in the world will be back stronger than ever in 2021."

British Speedway’s new season has been suspended with immediate effect.

French Football Federation (FFF) president Noel Le Graet has backed Uefa's decision to postpone Euro 2020.

"The French Football Federation fully supports UEFA's decision to postpone Euro 2020 from June 11 to July 11 2021 and to adapt the formats for European competitions accordingly," he said in a statement.

"The international matches planned for March, including the two matches of the French team on 27 and 31 March at the Stade de France, would therefore logically be postponed to June.

"This wise and pragmatic decision by UEFA makes it possible to fully register in the urgency and the priority of collective action to fight against the coronavirus while allowing to consider ending the national professional and amateur championships which could be prolonged until June.

"All options will be studied in order to be reactive when resumption of activities is possible. The only concern of the FFF is to make the best decisions, by bringing together all the players in football, to best respect sports equity and limit the impact of this crisis. The world of football must be united, responsible and exemplary. "

Reading midfielder Charlie Adam on what would happen if the season became void: "There’s only one word and it’s carnage, you know everybody would be throwing legal letters everywhere.

"It’s easy for the Premier League clubs to say 'well, lets not have a relegation or a promotion, it’s only really the teams that are around the relegation that have found that - everybody else will be saying lets play to finish - even Liverpool will want to play to a finish because they deservedly, rightly so, will be crowned champions.

"They’ve been the best team in the Premier League but to then void the league after the games that are left would be crazy so I think you’d have a massive legal case from a lot of the Championship clubs.

"If you look at a club like Aston Villa, they are just in the relegation zone with a game in hand and if they win that they go out of the relegation zone so how can that be possible?

"I just think they’ve got find a solution of playing every game and sorting it out, even if it extends the league into the summer, not a problem."

We have yet to hear official confirmation from Uefa regarding Euro 2020's postponement, we will bring you that as soon as we have it.

Moving the tournament by a year does give European leagues some vital breathing space to complete their domestic seasons. Though there is no guarantee of course that football will be able to resume by the summer.

If that's the case, some difficult decisions will have to be made regarding issues such as league titles, relegation and promotion.
