Wilder v Fury II: The road to heavyweight unification

Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

Sportshour is in Las Vegas ahead of the eagerly anticipated heavyweight boxing rematch between American Deontay Wilder and Britain's Tyson Fury. The last fight ended in a controversial draw, so will there be a clear winner this time? The Women's T20 Cricket World Cup is underway in Australia. We'll be live in Perth to bring you the latest stories from the tournament. It is also the start of the UK netball season - we hear the remarkable story of Team Bath's Summer Artman, who was diagnosed with arthritis when she was seven years old but never let it stop her from achieving her sporting dreams. And we remember the Manchester United legend Harry Gregg, who sadly passed away aged 87. Gregg was one of the survivors of the Munich air disaster in 1958 that killed 21 people on board - including seven Manchester United players. Gregg rescued United team mates Sir Bobby Charlton and Dennis Viollet from BEA Flight 609, as well as a 20-month-old baby and her badly injured, pregnant mother.
