Los Angeles Lakers Beat Miami Heat for NBA Title With Oct. 13, 2020 Third bout in doubt British WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury said he has “moved on” from facing Deontay Wilder for a third time in December and 11 will instead be “coming home” to fight, BBC reported. Sports Los Angeles Lakers beat Miami Heat Mali game ‘a real test’ for for NBA title with LeBron MVP Iran, Skocic says Sports Desk Iran’s head coach Dragan Skocic said the friendly encounter against Mali would be “a real test” for his team. The Asian powerhouse will take on the African side in Anta- lya, Turkey, today – in what will be the Croatian’s second match IRNA on Iran’s bench. Skocic’s men beat Uzbekistan 2-1 in Tashkent last Thursday – courtesy of a Sardar Azmoun’s long-range effort and a spot-kick converted by Mehdi Taremi with Eldor Shomu- rodov scoring a consolation for the host. Mali, meanwhile, beat Ghana 3-0 on Friday. Stade Rennais fullback Hamari Traoré scored a brace before RB Leipzig’s Amadou Haidara’s strike. “Mali, along with Senegal and Nigeria, are the best teams in Africa, so it will be a real test for us. Almost all of their players play in European clubs,” former San’at Naft Abadan manager said. The Croatian believes the most significant aspect of today’s game will be the “physical challenge” of playing against an African side. Mali’s squad, however, has reportedly been hit hard by COVID-19 as manager Mohamed Magassouba has only 15 players at his disposal for the match. Skocic’s team is preparing for the remainder of its 2022 World Cup qualification campaign. Iran stands third in Group C of the Asian qualifiers with six points, trailing Iraq and Bahrain by five and three points, respectively, albeit with a game in hand. Eight group winners plus four best runners-up will progress to the final round of qualifiers. Persepolis to start Persian Gulf DOUGLAS P.
