What sport is on this week? Champions League, Grand Slam of Darts & more

There’s plenty of racing coming up this week, with cards at Kempton, Chelmsford, Ludlow, Musselburgh and Dundalk today, plus plenty of international racing.

Looking ahead to this weekend, it’s the Ladbrokes Winter Carnival at Newbury, while Newcastle hosts the Grade 1 Fighting Fifth Hurdle on Saturday.

Darts

We’re down to the final four in the Grand Slam of Darts. After beating Michael van Gerwen yesterday, Simon Whitlock faces Jose De Sousa and James Wade takes on Dimitri Van den Bergh in tonight’s semi-finals. The two winners will face off for the title in tomorrow’s final.

There’s not long to wait then for the Players Championship Finals, which take place from Friday to Sunday at the Ricoh Arena. Gerwyn Price and MVG head the betting at 4/1.

Boxing

The British, Commonwealth and vacant European heavyweight titles are all on the line on Saturday for Daniel Dubois v Joe Joyce. Both fighters have unbeaten records – who’ll maintain theirs?

We’ve also got the much-anticipated exhibition bout between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr early on Sunday morning. Can Iron Mike roll back the years?
