Original stories from across the UK, news, sport, and exclusive interviews. 

Boxer James Degale is in the studio, ahead of one of his toughest fights yet. He says he wants to see boxing back on free to air TV, and would take a 50% pay cut to have his fight shown on primetime BBC.

Should managers stop giving post match interviews? Spurs manager, Harry Redknapp, will find out today if the FA will punish him for his comments following Nani's goal for Manchester United.
