Key details:

— Matchroom do not plan to move from their position of not allowing Zuffa involvement, and are open to Sela acting as a neutral promoter to the event.

— Anthony Joshua has reportedly not been paid his remaining purse from his second-round knockout of Kristian Prenga on July 25th. Matchroom are seeking for this to be amended.

— Matchroom are seeking for a guarantee for a selection of their star talent to gain undercard placements. Those proposed – but not yet signed – bouts include a bantamweight unification between three-division champion Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez and Mexico’s WBC champion Christian Medina, a WBA secondary welterweight title fight between England’s Jack Catterall and American Keyshawn Davis and the WBA heavyweight championship pitting Murat Gassiev versus Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller.

u/simmiktrickle paid earlier than expected!

Initial loan was for £40 and £50 repayment, requested a top-up of another £20 with £75 repayment, which I agreed to. Loan was expected to be repaid tomorrow, but he got it to me today!

Great lender! Would help again. Thanks for the good, albeit nerve wracking, experience!

400 keys to anyone who can provide me this incredibly rare gift copy, maybe even more. A long shot, but I'm willing to pay. Please comment to discuss!

Is it "I am" or "I ain't" in "I (?) married to this money, he's my best man."?

The former makes no sense, but the latter also contradicts the earlier lines in the song.

Don’t feel like this is a job that gets much attention over here, especially the legal side of it. I am self-employed, with a colleague / friend all the way back from primary school, we travel all around the country collecting debts and seizing the goods of those who owe money to cover debts they’re unable or have refused to pay. We are commonly known as bailiffs. Ask me anything!

I haven’t even given out a loan here yet but I made a comment on a thread saying I'd be willing to fund one with proof of repayment history and I’ve had people contact me from here who have outstanding ones in private! The answer is no.

I hope other lenders aren’t obliging here. You’re gonna get conned out of your money.

I started my studies at UoB in September 2025 and got these in January and May. Was really nice having an extra £3,500 to play with. Do I also get this in 2027? Do I have to manually reapply?

Hi all,

I think I’ve caught the travel bug! Came back from a month-long stay in Tokyo for language study at Sophia University (first time abroad at 19), and am desperate for more! My mind has weirdly stumbled on Jamaica as an option. Always been interested in the culture and I've done some study on the Patois dialect as part of my degree, so why not?

But I have no idea where to start. Are there any things I should be worried about? I’ve heard that in Jamaica, you shouldn’t really steer off from your resort. Is this true? This seems incredibly boring, especially when I'm interested in exploring, trying local food, etc.

Hi all,

I recently used my PayPal credit card to make a bigger purchase. I have a pretty big credit limit and thought it’d be good to take advantage of the 4 months with 0% interest they offer, so I can just pay it off in 4 instalments. I can afford them fine and have a decent credit history. I'm a 19-year-old university student who works 2 jobs and usually use my Lloyds Advance credit card to build repayment history.

I guess what I’m asking is if you’re disciplined, do lenders see this as a bad thing? I will pay it off in 4 months and pay no interest, but is this something that’s alright to do with other larger purchases or should I just stick to buying them outright?

What have companies or such managed to make us accept effortlessly into our daily lives despite its existence having no actual benefit in our lives? Is there anything you can think of?

The British public have put such a ridiculous amount of money into both of these fighter’s pockets and now they're staging the biggest fight that you could possibly make with both of them in America, where they have fought a collective total of 7 times in their combined 72 fights.

It’s literally just pure greed from everyone involved. Just doing all they can to extract every single dollar from broadcasters with no concern for the public who made them the gigantic stars they are today. This fight happening anywhere but Wembley or Principality Stadium is a humongous 'fuck you' to the fans. MSG is gonna be filled with people who don’t actually care about these two at all.

And, even if we forgive it being staged in America, the fight isn’t even happening at any sort of convenient time for British fans. It's at 3-fucking-AM. Eddie Hearn can spout off on interviews about how the time difference doesn’t matter, but it does. No British fan, who comprise 99% of these guys' audience, wants to stay up until 3AM to watch these guys fight 7 years after they should’ve already done so.

People might say this is an overreaction, but I don’t care. Say 'it’s just business', this fight not happening in the UK is a complete disaster and we shouldn't let this precedent be set.

I know that it’s highly unlikely to get into US firms especially, but thought I'd shoot my shot.

I did pretty average first semester and got 58% in one of my modules and a low 2:1 in my others, but really busted my ass off in the 2nd after going to therapy and got 79% in one module (worth 20 credits!) and 65-68% in some others, which has dragged my average up to 66%. After doing the calculations, my 1st-year grade is a 66%.

Is this at all competitive? Do I have a chance with VAC schemes and such? What can I do in between now and when they open to brush up on my applications? I’m kinda lacking experience but really wanna transfer to Law.

More great reporting from Dan:

"WBO welterweight titlist Devin Haney, a promotional free agent, has signed a multi-fight contract with DAZN and will proceed with his mandatory title defense against Keyshawn Davis, a source with direct knowledge of the agreement told Fight Freaks Unite on Wednesday.

The deal has not been announced yet but Haney had been in discussions about a deal with Zuffa Boxing that likely would have led to a much-discussed showdown with lineal/WBO junior welterweight champion Shakur Stevenson, who recently signed with Zuffa Boxing.

Haney and Bill Haney, his father, trainer and manager, have gone back and forth with Stevenson on social media about the prospect of the fight, with Stevenson insisting on a 144-pound catch weight.
However, Haney, whose last four fights have been streamed via DAZN PPV, decided to move forward with the DAZN deal instead — and the mandatory defense against Davis. That fight is targeted for October, multiple sources said.

With DAZN having contracts with the biggest promoters in boxing, including Top Rank, Golden Boy, PBC/TGB, Matchroom Boxing and Queensberry, it means Haney would have uncomplicated access to potential fights with boxers on those rosters. The move leaves four-division titleholder Stevenson, however, without a major opponent for the time being despite the deal he just signed with Zuffa."

Hello!

I'm British-Turkish and my wife is Japanese. We met in Osaka when I was there for academic research and hit it off, she now lives over here with me and we’re expecting our daughter, Ayaha, in August!

My wife is very insistent on her learning Japanese, which I'm obviously on board with, whilst I would like to teach her Turkish or Gagauz, as they are my heritage languages.

However, deep down, I’ve been a bit worried about school life for our child. English is obviously what we'd like her to use in an educational environment to interact with people, but we're also concerned that this will detract from her ability to fully learn her parents' languages. Does anyone have experience with this?

This is a genuine question.

I'm speaking from experience and not a place of sexism/bias here, the majority of our foreign language cohorts in schools are overwhelmingly comprised of females, the most popular options being Spanish and French. Even then, they’re still pretty small. Very few boys have shown interest in taking foreign languages.

Some GCSE and A Level languages are almost exclusively taken by native speakers of the languages, mainly Asian languages. Uptake of MFL are dropping pretty much every year. How far do these need to plummet before our government makes some sort of effort to overhaul the ways in which these subjects are delivered?

I’ve been told otherwise on this sub, but learning languages is important. I'm not saying that kids who don’t want to should be forced, but am I truly stupid for thinking that we should be encouraging our children to pick up another language?

Dunno if it sounds shallow, but I’m a guy and a woman would gain like, at least one point with me if she could play guitar or something.
