The CEO and founder of the MOBO Awards, Kanya King, has died at the age of 57 following a battle with cancer.

Kanya founded the MOBO Awards in 1996 at the age of 27 after recognising that mainstream UK music awards often overlooked Black music genres and artists.

A Portuguese guy turned up to our very English-style five-a-side. Week 1 he's unflappable, picking off pinpoint passes, barely broke sweat. Last night, Week 5 he hoofed a clearance out of the courts and yelled 'fuck's sake, lads'. So proud he's embraced our football culture.

There's something quite remarkable about faking injury of pretty much all your players for international duty call up, to then lose at home to Bournemouth.

I have have lost count the number of times Lammens has saved us in situations like this. Unreal signing

[Milano Cortina 2026 @milanocortina26]

KLAEBO = LEGENDARY. 🥇
Six gold medals at the Olympic Winter Games. Six times on top of the world.
Race after race, he rewrote the limits of cross-country skiing.
At Milano Cortina 2026, Johannes Høsflot Klæbo didn’t just win — he made history.

Real touch of class here from Italy captain Michele Lamaro after their loss to Ireland

Unprompted, he made a point of congratulating Hollie Davidson on becoming the first woman to referee a men’s Six Nations game

Alcaraz beats Zverev 6-4 7-6 6-7 6-7 7-5

Unbelievable.

Almost 5 and a half hours.

Zverev served for the match.

But cramps couldn’t beat him… and neither could Zverev.

Carlos is an Australian Open finalist.

He’s now reached the final of all 4 Slams.

✅8th Grand Slam final
✅6-0 in 2026

He is 1 win away from becoming the youngest man to complete the Career Grand Slam.

🇪🇸

They spent all week trying to tell us they'd beat 2008 Manchester United and couldn't even beat 2026 Manchester United. 😭

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

STAN WAWRINKA. 🤯🤯🤯🤯

The last one handed backhand winner he ever hit at the Australian Open.

It’s enough to send chills down your spine.

One of the most beautiful shots in the history of tennis… it’s not up for debate. 🥹
