At the top of the bill, KSI, 1–0 as a professional boxer with several nonsanctioned matches mixed in, will take on Tommy Fury in a six-round fight.

Last month Red Bull Racing’s Sergio Pérez joined a very exclusive club: 250 race starts in F1. The achievement, which occurred at the Singapore Grand Prix, has been achieved by only Pérez and 10 other drivers in the 73-year history of the championship.
Pérez’s racing career has been more complex than most. Always considered a promising talent, he got his big break when he joined the Sauber F1 team in 2011. By his second year, Pérez—also known as Checo—had picked up three impressive podium finishes.
