WROCLAW, Poland (AP) — After a controversial win to retain his heavyweight boxing titles, Oleksandr Usyk is targeting a long-awaited and elusive unification fight with Tyson Fury.“I’m ready tomorrow,” the Ukrainian declared on Saturday when asked about Fury.This was after Usyk stopped British challenger Daniel Dubois in the ninth round. That win followed a disputed low blow which gave the Ukrainian champion time to recover.Fighting for the first time in more than a year and cheered on by fans waving Ukrainian flags, Usyk knocked down Dubois in the eighth round. Referee Luis Pabon stopped the fight when Usyk dumped him again in the ninth with a stiff right to the jaw.The fight was halted in the fifth round for what Pabon ruled was a low blow by Dubois which sent Usyk to the canvas. Replays showed the punch hitting around Usyk’s belt. It was not given as a knockdown but nor were any points deducted from Dubois, and Pabon urged Usyk: “Take your time.”The Ukrainian seemed to...

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Even though he’d captured yet another gold medal, Swedish pole vaulter Armand Duplantis wanted more. He always does.Before leaving the stage at world championships on Saturday, the vaulter known as “Mondo” had one request — raise the bar. He wanted three cracks at breaking his world record mark, the one he keeps breaking again and again.It didn’t happen. He was just too drained on a muggy night. Still, it made for great theater and after Duplantis rose from the mat following his final attempt, he faced the crowd and took a bow. Duplantis added a second straight world title by clearing 6.10 meters (20 feet), holding off runner-up Ernest John Obiena of the Philippines. Kurtis Marschall of Australia and American Christopher Nilsen, shared bronze.“It was great fun,” Duplantis said.For him, anyway, the reigning Olympic champion heading into Paris next summer. “Are you ever going to let us win?” Marschall cracked.Duplantis gave his competitors a ...
