Liverpool 13 points clear in Premier League after Newcastle win
LIVERPOOL: Liverpool took another giant stride toward the Premier League title with a 2-0 win over Newcastle to move 13 points clear at the top of the table on Wednesday. Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister were on target either side of half-time as the Reds further stretched their advantage after Arsenal were earlier held 0-0 at Nottingham Forest. Unbeaten in 24 league games, Liverpool are cruising toward a record-equalling 20th English top flight title but just their second in 35 years. Defeat leaves Newcastle down in sixth, three points adrift of the top four. Liverpool boss Arne Slot had to make do with a seat in the stands after being handed a two-match touchline ban for his red card in a fiery Merseyside derby at Everton earlier this month. With Slot’s assistant Sipke Hulshoff also banned, it was another member of his coaching staff — former Everton defender — Johnny Heitinga who patrolled the touchline. Newcastle were dealt a huge blow before a ball was kicked as 21-goal top scorer Alexander Isak was ruled out due to a groin injury. The Anfield crowd were in a mood to party after their side secured a statement 2-0 win at Manchester City on Sunday. And they were given plenty of reason to remain in good voice. It took the home side just 11 minutes to go in front when the lively Luis Diaz cut the ball back for Szoboszlai to roll in, although questions will be asked over Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope’s poor attempt to keep it out. The sides will meet again in the League Cup final on March 16. Despite a third defeat in four league games, there was some encouragement for the Magpies looking ahead to Wembley, especially if Isak is back fit. The Swede’s stand-in Callum Wilson had a huge chance to equalize when he

IOC provisionally recognizes World Boxing as federation for Olympics
LAUSANNE: The International Olympic Committee on Wednesday provisionally recognized the recently created World Boxing as the body to oversee the sport at future Games. The IOC severed links with the International Boxing Association (IBA), the long-standing ruling body of amateur boxing, over financial, governance and ethical concerns and took over the organization of the sport at last year’s Paris Olympics. The IBA is chaired by the Kremlin-linked Russian Umar Kremlev. World Boxing was founded in 2023 and boasts 78 members led by the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia and Brazil. IOC president Thomas Bach had warned that boxing’s national federations needed to find a new and “reliable” international partner if it wanted to ensure that the sport features on the program at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The IOC in a statement recognizing World Boxing as the sport’s amateur federation said the body “has demonstrated strong willingness and effort in enhancing good governance and implementation, to be compliant with the appropriate standards.”
