It will be the main event of an all-female card which will be streamed live on Netflix.

However, in a twist, Dina Thorslund has had to withdraw from her title unification bout against IBF bantamweight holder Shurretta Metcalf.

The unified bantamweight champ revealed that she is expecting her second child, while she has relinquished her WBO title.

Upon her return to the ring Thorslund may request to be designated mandatory challenger.

The 30-year-old said: “Life can be such a roller coaster, especially as a female boxer.

“I was really looking forward to this fight—the biggest moment of my career.

“Recently I found out I was pregnant, a curve I hadn’t expected, but a joyous one.

“Even though the decision was easy, the athlete in me is sad, as I SO wanted to stand in that ring and make history on Friday, July 11.

“But I’ll be back!

“When I do step back in the ring, there will be another little person that I can fight for and be a role model for.

“I plan to show my child that nothing is impossible if you work hard enough for it.

“I hope all the boxers have a fantastic evening. I will be cheering from the sidelines, and I can only encourage the rest of the world to either take the trip to Madison Square Garden and experience the magic, or to tune in to watch history being made, live on Netflix.”

The unified title belt will remain on the card, however, with reigning WBA holder Cherneka Johnson taking Thorslund’s place.

‘Sugar Neeks’ is a two-weight world champion, currently the WBA bantamweight world champion and the former IBF super bantamweight world champion.

She will face Metcalf in a 10-round world title showdown in her first bid to become the first ever undisputed Australian champion in the four belt era.

Johnson said: “It’s a dream come true to fight at Madison Square Garden!

“This feels like a true ‘pinch me’ moment, being part of an all-women’s card headlined by the incredible Amanda Serrano vs Katie Taylor.

“Not only will I be defending my title, but I’ll also become the undisputed champion!

“I’m truly looking forward to this next chapter—being part of Most Valuable Promotions, who are paving the way and shaping the future of women‘s boxing.

“The magnitude of this moment isn’t lost on me, and I’m ready to rise to it.”

THIS is the gut-wrenching moment a lightning bolt strikes just meters behind an unsuspecting six-year-old girl.

The mammoth bolt struck trees in Southern California, as a shocked mom and her two kids dashed for cover.

Tiffanie Buckner was filming the approaching storm before heading inside with her children on Tuesday.

In the shocking video, Penelope, 6, is seen nonchalantly standing in front of the camera.

Suddenly, a massive lightning bolt strikes trees in the yard of the house across the street.

Penelope, her mum and brother let out an instant scream.

The startled children can be seen sprinting towards their mom.

Buckner told Storyful: “It was different than the normal lightning we receive that just lights up the sky.”

She explained that she had wanted to show her mother and husband the weather.

But what started off as innocent weather-watching, soon took a sinister turn.

“The sound was so loud and immediate that it made us all jump and sent the kids in running,” Buckner said.

Though shaken at first, Penelope apparently quickly forgot the scare and even asked to go back outside once the rain began.

Her mom said: “Of course, the answer was no.

“But kids were OK and loved the storm and have an amazing story to tell.”

Penelope told local news station NBC 4: “It was amazing, but it scared me a little bit.”

The strike hit a tree in the yard of the family’s neighbor Keith Fulthorp.

“It was loud, shook the house. Like an earthquake,” he told NBC 4.

His daughter Alena said: “We just felt like the whole house shaking.”

Both trees struck caught fire, but luckily the rain quickly put it out, Fulthorp said.

One tree was split down the middle, while the other suffered serious damage, he added.

Thunderstorms are rare in Southern California, with fewer than 10 days a year seeing reported lightning.

The violent weather phenomena are more common in England, especially during summer months, with lightning reported on dozens of days each year.

Just last month, a house in Chichester, England caught fire after a lightning strike during sweeping thunderstorms across the country.

Shocking photos show smoke streaming from the roof of the property.

Six fire engines were called to the scene, according to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service.

MOLLY Mae has admitted there’s certain aspects of reuniting with Tommy Fury that she’s struggling to deal with in the spotlight. 

The Love Island icon and Maebe mogul finally confirmed she was back together with Tommy after a one-year break in May, after hiding their rekindled romance for months.

With their relationship now out in the open, Molly and Tommy have been enjoying a string of breaks together, enjoying a “staycation” this weekend in the Cotswolds with their daughter, Bambi. 

But as the pair took some time away at a 17th century estate complete with a swimming pool, Molly uploaded a new vlog on her YouTube channel talking about life lately. 

In it, she admits that it’s been strange adjusting to life publicly again with Tommy, and found herself struggling during a trip to Disneyland in Paris. 

“Disneyland was just like… I don’t want to say not enjoyable, because we had a lovely time,” she told the camera, adding: “Disneyland was just, we went at the wrong time.” 

Explaining the family took the trip during the half-term holidays, Molly said she was joined by Tommy and Bambi, as well as a group of loved one. 

However, she found herself unable to enjoy the trip to its fullest after spotting other people at the park filming them and taking photos. 

While she tried to make light of the situation – saying she made sure she posed or stared at them so they realised later they had been caught out taking sneaky pictures – Molly said it was hard especially with their daughter around. 

“At Disneyland, when I was with Bambi, it’s quite hard to navigate that,” she said.

“When you have a toddler, you’re out with your partner, and there’s already a little bit of a new thing that you’re back out together, and you’re trying to navigate that, and then you can see people looking and staring and filming.

“It was my birthday as well, and it was just like… kind of tricky to figure out if we were having boundaries, or there weren’t any boundaries.” 

“I won’t be in a rush to go back anywhere as busy and as public and as crazy as that, because we should have known better, really,” she declared. 

“I think we feel it more now, because obviously going out together now, it is a bit.. not anxiety inducing, I don’t know what the word for it is, it’s just a bit like new territory. 

“Because for people it’s a bit like taboo, I don’t know, but if people see us out, it’s like ‘oh, like let’s film!’ 

“I don’t know – I just think I maybe felt it a bit more this time,” she noted.

After posting the vlog, Molly and Tommy whisked themselves away to a romantic “staycation” for the weekend.

Holing up in the Cotswolds, Molly looked happy as she cuddled up next to Tommy during some downtime.

Returning from a trip to St Tropez for work, Molly decided she needed some family time – with Bambi quickly taking to the hotel pool.

Sharing one adorable snap, Molly said of her little one: “Telling this girl she can’t go swimming when she sees a pool is like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube. Never going to happen!”

However she noted it wasn’t as glam as it looked, with Molly noting “It was freezing”.

A WOMAN has revealed that when she was a size 22, she was always told she was “too fat”.

As a result, Tia Maitland took matters into her own hands and in a bid to slim down, flew to Turkey for gastric sleeve surgery.

Now, Tia Maitland is able to wear kids’ clothes, but is often told she is ‘too skinny’[/caption]

But now, the beauty pro, who is owner of Zia Lash Aesthetic, explained that people often say the same draining comment to her now she has slimmed down to a size 8.

Posting on social media, Tia shared an insight into her reality, as she uploaded a clip of her at her heaviest. 

Prior to going under the knife, the blonde beauty always thought that she would “never be smaller than a size 20” and wondered if she would “ever make it to a size 14 again.”

Not only this, but fed up of being “fat” and “never” being able to wear the clothes she wanted, Tia made the decision to have surgery to slim down.

Now, Tia is a size 8 and also wears clothes that are designed for a 13-year-old child.

As she showed off her tiny frame, the content creator explained: “I was a size 22 and now I’m a size 8… I’m buzzing, what the hell.”

But despite her happiness at her new figure, in a follow-up clip, Tia also shared “the most draining thing after a gastric sleeve.”

She claimed that people often have the same rude remark when they see her, as many will advise: “You need to stop losing weight now, you’re looking too skinny.”

But to this, Tia confidently clapped back and slammed: “Ok love, you also said I looked too fat, f**k off.” 

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @tiamaitlandxx, has clearly left people open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 290,400 views. 

Not only this, but it’s also amassed 19,800 likes, 247 comments and 479 saves. 

But it appears that Tia isn’t the only one to have been faced with the cruel remark since her surgery, as numerous users flocked to the comments to share their own very similar experiences. 

One person said: “I feel this in my soul, I am almost a year post op and tired of hearing people ask me when I’m gonna be done losing.” 

Another added: “Omg yes, this is a daily thing!” 

You are glowing

A third commented: “I never realised this would bother me until I started getting this comment. Can’t win either way.” 

At the same time, someone else also had the same experience and expressed: “This is one thing that will forever haunt me. Just let me live now!” 

Meanwhile, many social media users raced to share complimentary comments about Tia’s new appearance. 

One user beamed: “You look amazing!!” 

A second chimed in: “You look absolutely gorgeous.” 

Whilst another gasped: “You are glowing.”

TOTTENHAM have dropped the axe on Robert Vilahamn’s run as manager of their Women’s Super League side. 

Their parting of ways with the head coach 42, follows the team ending the 2024/25 campaign second from bottom.

Tottenham finished 11th in the WSL this season after ending the 2023-24 term in sixth spot[/caption]

Today the club confirmed their decision to end Vilahamn’s reign which comes two days after them sacking their Prem team boss Ange Postecoglu. 

Their 11th-placed finish is their lowest ever in the WSL and follows a run of just five wins and five draws in 22 games and 12 losses. 

It also comes one season on from Spurs reaching the Women’s FA Cup final for the first time last year where they fell to a 4-0 defeat to Man United.

In a written statement today the club said: “There have been some special moments during Robert’s tenure, including reaching the FA Cup final for the first time.

“However, results and performances this season have not been to the level we would expect and now is the right time to make a change.

“We should like to thank Robert for his professionalism and efforts over the past two seasons, and we wish him well for the future.”

Vilahamn’s two-season Tottenham stint follows his three years at Swedish club BK Hacken where he worked as an assistant and then manager of their women’s team.

During his time as Hacken head coach he steered them to two Swedish Cup finals and Champions League qualification in 2023.  

The Sweden-born manager, who took charge of Tottenham in July that year, enjoyed a promising start in first season at their helm. 

He guided Spurs to sixth-place in addition to the 2024 FA Cup final.

He also steered them to their first ever defeat of Arsenal in the WSL with a 1-0 win against the Gunners at Tottenham Stadium in December 2023. 

Vilahamn’s departure follows some significant senior level changes at the club. 

Aside from the head coach’s exit and Postecoglu’s departure, Spurs executive director Donna-Maria Culllen stood down from her role on June 2. 

BRENTFORD are yet to hear from Tottenham over Thomas Frank, while Mauricio Pochettino has taken himself out of contention for a return to North London.

Spurs have made Dane Frank their top target to succeed Ange Postecoglou and are expected to make their move this week.

Ange Postecoglou was sacked this week[/caption]

They reached out to Frank’s representatives while Europa League-winning chief Postecoglou was still in his job.

But SunSport understands there is still yet to be contact between the two clubs.

Frank has a pricey release clause – though it is believed to be less than the £10million mooted – and it remains to be seen if the Bees would be amenable to an offer below the set amount.

The 51-year-old is understood to be interested in taking over from Postecoglou, who was sacked on Friday despite ending Spurs’ 17-year trophy drought last month.

Frank has worked wonders since taking charge at Brentford in 2018, winning them promotion and earning two top-ten finishes in the Premier League, including this season.

He is currently the third longest-serving manager in the top four tiers of English football, behind Simon Weaver of Harrogate Town and Manchester City icon Pep Guardiola.

Ex-Brondby boss Frank and Spurs’ technical director Johan Lange go way back, having shared an office together when coaching at Copenhagen-based side Lyngby two decades ago.

Should Spurs manage to hire Frank, it could see them hijack Manchester United’s move for Bryan Mbeumo.

The Cameroonian, who has also been a target for Newcastle, has just had his best season ever, netting 20 Premier League goals.

Ipswich chief Kieran McKenna would be a leading contender to take over from Frank if a vacancy arises in West London.

But SunSport understands the ex-Spurs academy coach would not be the only name in the frame.

Fulham boss Marco Silva has also been considered by Spurs as a possible target, but has fallen behind Frank in the order of preference.

An emotional return for USA manager Mauricio Pochettino had been suggested, but the Spurs hero has now ruled out making it happen – claiming a summer move is “not realistic”.

Poch, who took Spurs to the Champions League final during a five-year spell as boss between 2014 and 2019, is currently tied down to a contract as boss of the US national team.

The Argentine, 53, is just a year away from the World Cup which takes place in the States, Canada and Mexico, and had been tasked with leading the US to glory.

Rubbishing the idea of a return to Spurs, Poch said: “After I left in 2019, every time that I was free, and the place of the position of the manager or head coach in Tottenham Hotspur, my name is appearing on the list.

“If you have seen the rumours, I think there are 100 coaches in the list. I think, don’t be worried about that.

“If something happened, for sure you will see, but we cannot talk about this type of thing, because I think today, it’s not real.

“It’s not realistic. Look at where I am, where we are. And the thing is, the answer is so clear, no? But we’re talking about it because it’s my club, like Newells or Espanyol.”
