Kell Brook

Boxer Kell Brook stabbed on island of Tenerife

World boxing champion Kell Brook is in hospital in Tenerife after being stabbed in the leg while on holiday.

The boxer from Sheffield is in a stable condition according to his promoters Matchroom. No arrests have been made.
A spokeswoman for Spain's Guardia Civil said the 28-year-old was stabbed in the left leg at Golf del Sur in San Miguel de Abona and "lost a lot of blood".
Brook won the IBF welterweight title when he beat American Shawn Porter in California last month.
It is the second time Brook has been stabbed, after an incident in Sheffield in 2007.
Brook's win over Porter stretched his unbeaten professional record to 33 fights and he is being lined up for a fight against Amir Khan next - expected to take place on 6 December.
His trainer Dominic Ingall told BBC Look North: "We've been through a lot together, me and Kell, and receiving the news this morning hit me in the pit of my stomach. It's a sickening feeling.
"I think he's stable, his mum and dad's gone out today to see him in hospital.
"He's a fighter Kell, we don't know the extent of his injuries but whichever way, knowing Kell, he'll try and make that date [in December] if he can."

Andy Murray: 'Exceptional' year for Briton, says Richard Krajicek

     Former Wimbledon champion Richard Krajicek believes Andy Murray could be ranked in the top five by the end of 2014 and challenging for Grand Slams again in 2015.

The Briton's world ranking has fallen from three to nine since back surgery.
Murray, 27, lost in four sets to Novak Djokovic in the US Open quarter-finals.
"If he finished top 10 this year, and I think he can finish top five, it's an exceptional achievement," Dutchman Krajicek told BBC Sport.
"It's a really bad surgery and it's unbelievable that he's in the top 10."
Murray is still without a title since winning Wimbledon last year and has not progressed beyond the last four of any tournament since then.
