Brilliant @Jeremiah_Azu - European gold followed by world gold in a couple of weeks. And all after moving his training base back to Cardiff. It's amazing what can happen with regular access to a pint of Brains SA and a curry arf'n'arf!

Plenty of old stars attending the World Test final at Lord's and plenty of TV cutaways to them watching on. So why oh why do the commentators not identify them? Are we expected to recognise them all, decades on?

Mike Perez and Steven Ward meet in Ipswich tonight for the WBA Continental cruiserweight title. Aloys Junior defended this last month - I wonder if he knows? And I wonder if Perez and Ward realise that two other boxers are to contest the same belt in France in five days' time?

I like a good stat as much as the next man, but bloody hell, Fletch, just tell me who's got the sodding ball!

It's not as though Cardiff lacks alternative venues...

Ben Kellaway 181 not out - that's som maiden century. And another 21-year-old, Asa Tribe, scored a career-best 94. Glamorgan are like Cardiff City: they may have been a bit 'meh' for the past few years, but there are some talented youngsters to give hope for the future.

Why does the BBC's reporter outside Westminster Cathedral keep describing it as "the biggest RC cathedral in England and Wales"? Is it the biggest in the UK? If so, say that. If not, call it the biggest in England. Why the "and Wales"? I thought those days were long gone.

Sunny Edwards comes up with some good insights in his TV work, but will somebody at DAZN please tell him to stop crying "Ohhhh!!!!" every time a decent punch lands, even when his lead commentator is speaking. He sounds like a kid at his first-ever live show.

After Trump's talk of making them the 51st state, Canada beat the US at ice hockey. Last night Panama, with the orange manchild demanding control of their canal, beat them at football (OK, soccer). Are the Yanks due to play Greenland any time soon?

Only two Welsh athletes made it to the European indoor championships, but they're coming home with gold and silver. Da iawn, @Jeremiah_Azu and @mcourtneybryant.

Merthyr and all the things you'd hope for from a visit there. Clean sheet, a point, the famous cob, old school pissers, and an oyster with a flake and raspberry sauce.

Fantastic achievement by Wales women! First time ever to qualify for the Euros. Maybe the London media will realise the Lionesses are not the only team in Britain.

Who saw that coming after the first 10 mins? Laughable defending on both sides, but Wales are promoted. Thank you, Craig Bellamy! And thank you, Montenegro!

For what it's worth, I've joined the migration to Bluesky. I'm staying on here for now, but anyone who wants to check in with me on the other one (apart from the dozens of bots with female names I've just discovered were following me on x) I'm @garethboxing.bsky.social.

FFS, Fulham - NOW will you play Harry Wilson from the start?

Well done, Dan Pitt! A gold medal for Wales at the World Boxing Under-19 champs in Colorado. And he'll have learned a lot from the experience, particularly in dealing with a Kazakh octopus in the final.

It would be a real shame if this tweet by Elon Musk (in 2022) saying that Trump is too old to be president went viral. You know what to do.

s Elliot Elimasi the first pro debutant to publicly admit that his ring ambitions include winning a world title at bridgerweight?
