    Kai Kara-France's diligence away from the octagon has him already primed two months out from for his next challenge.

    The Kiwi UFC fighter has announced his next bout - a clash with number two-ranked flyweight Askar Askarov on March 26 in Ohio.

    Kara-France says he's kept his foot on the pedal since his breakthrough first-round knockout of Cody Garbrandt late last year.





    Ross Taylor retires from test cricket after 112 matches on the back of New Zealand's innings and 117-run victory over Bangladesh in Christchurch, which squared the series 1-all.

    He took a wicket with his 99th and last delivery in the format, getting Ebadot Hossain - a number 11 averaging 0.88 - to sky a catch to captain Tom Latham.
