Fury vs. Joshua Is Official, Lakers Open Camp, and Khachanov Stuns Auger-Aliassime in Beijing
Wednesday’s sports slate delivered major developments across football, basketball, tennis, and boxing. In the NFL, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said there was “no explanation” for coaching mistakes in Dallas’ 34–31 loss to Baltimore. The Cowboys are also dealing with a secondary crisis and added defensive backs Juanyeh Thomas and Alex Austin. Chicago, meanwhile, beat Philadelphia 27–7 behind third-string quarterback Case Keenum, while Bills quarterback Josh Allen’s knee injury remains under evaluation. Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey also played through a broken wrist in Pittsburgh’s win over Cincinnati.
The Lakers opened camp with a clear message from coach JJ Redick: minutes must be earned. Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, and Walker Kessler are the confirmed starters, but the final two spots remain open. With six of last season’s top nine players gone, the competition could shape the team’s identity before opening night. The Los Angeles Times reports that the Lakers also must reduce their roster to 15 guaranteed contracts.
In Beijing, Karen Khachanov defeated second-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime, 6–3, 6–3, at the China Open. Elsewhere, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina won his second title of 2026 in Chengdu, while Daniil Medvedev defeated Andrey Rublev in Hangzhou after hitting 23 aces. Results and tournament updates are available through the China Open and ATP Hangzhou coverage.
Boxing now has its biggest date: Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will meet December 11 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, streaming globally on Netflix. The London launch press conference took place today, and Dana White called the event a “done deal.” Sky Sports confirmed the location and date. Canelo Álvarez faces Christian Mbilli on October 31, while Josh Kelly has agreed to terms for a three-belt unification fight with Jaron Ennis.
