Tommy Fury has explained why he has “never been a fan” KSI ahead of their crunch boxing match. The pair will go toe-to-toe in the ring on Saturday 14 October at Manchester Arena. Ahead of the bout, Fury was asked if he “likes” the YouTuber turned boxer. “Not one bit,” he told BBC Breakfast. “I’ve never been a fan, I just don’t like the way he carries on, I’m not really about this YouTube calling out people, doing all this sneaky stuff. “I’ve got a job to do.

Pest control technician fumigates apartment as bedbug infestation sweeps Paris
A pest control technician discussed his “phenomenal” workload as he fumigated an apartment in Paris, with the city infested by bedbugs. They creep, they crawl, they feast on your blood as you sleep, and after that succulent meal, they may travel first class, on you, for more dining at the cinema, on trains, buses or subways. In short, bedbugs go where you go, and they have become a nightmare haunting Paris for weeks. The French government has been forced to step in to calm an increasingly anxious nation that will host the Olympic Games in just over nine months, a prime venue for infestations of the crowd-loving insects.

Smoke rises above homes as raging Tenerife wildfire forces thousands to evacuate
Soldiers and firefighters were battling to control a new wildfire on Spain’s Tenerife island that has forced some 3,000 people to leave their homes for safety. Footage shows smoke rising above buildings as the fire rages in the forest nearby on Thursday 5 October. The blaze, which started Wednesday, is centred on the towns of Santa Ursula and La Orotava in the mountainous northeast of the island, away from the main tourist areas in Tenerife’s southwest. The same area suffered one of the island’s worst wildfires in decades in August when 14,000 hectares of pine forest and scrubland were burnt and some 12,000 residents evacuated over several weeks.

The Arsenal boss described Saka’s injury as a “knock” at full-time, adding the club are now waiting to see the extent of the issue.
