Chelsea have sacked Frank Lampard after a poor showing that put the English club in ninth position on the premier league table.

Players have been told not to go to the training ground until Monday afternoon. Lampard is the tenth manager sacked during the Roman Abramovich era.

His termination was confirmed after the club took decisive action following a torrid run of five losses in eight league games.

Abramovich described Lampard as a “man of great integrity,” but says it is best to change managers when the club is in mid-table.

Lampard will be replaced by former Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund manager, Thomas Tuchel.

South African boxer, Ryno Liebenberg says he will donate his entire fight purse to a children’s charity when he takes to the ring in the last fight of his decade-long career.  The gesture has been met with overwhelming support and has seen members of the public reach out to donate even more.

The thirty-seven-year-old family man says he was inspired to donate his purse by his young family and will be writing the names of other contributors on his white fight shorts which he will leave unbranded for the fight, to increase the donation amount.

Liebenberg boasts a record with 20 wins, seven defeats and one draw.  He has fought all over the world, including Monte Carlo, Sweden and Germany.
