Adam Ramsay-Peaty has been featured in a lot of headlines over the last year but many of those headlines were not to do with his swimming. Instead, they were centered around his family, his wedding and a whole lot of drama.

Now the English swimmer has been making headlines again, but instead of it being a celebration for his bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games, he is once again surrounded by drama after his post-race interview with BBC Sport showed the 31-year-old in a not very good light.

On Saturday, Ramsay-Peaty competed in the 100 meters breaststroke final and came away with a bronze medal to add to his collection. It was Sam Williamson who took the gold and Filip Nowacki with the silver.

All three competitors finished the race within 59 seconds, but it was the milliseconds that split them apart, with 59.17, 59.34 and 59.65 separating first, second and third. Ramsay-Peaty has gone quicker than this before, with his best time being 57.86, which is the current world record.

Holly Ramsay-Peaty, daughter of Gordon Ramsay and new wife of Adam, was seen in the crowd supporting her husband. Straight after he exited the pool, Peaty-Ramsay was seen heading straight over to his wife with both looking quite emotional. After being asked about his emotions and how they were after the race, the three-time Olympic gold medalist replied, saying: “Really? I think. I don’t know. I think I just work a lot harder than what it says on the scoreboard to be honest.”

The Englishman would have been expecting to come away with a lot more from this event and those feelings were clearly evident within him after he spoke to BBC Sport. He was seen saying: “I just think I deserve more.”

After the interview was released across their social media platforms, many commented on Ramsay-Peaty’s attitude and how it was rubbing a lot of people up the wrong way. One comment read: “Bit full of himself these days. Too much time with his father-in-law.”

Several other reactions reflected the general response to Ramsay-Peaty’s reaction: “Obviously not a better athlete than that or he would have placed higher. There were two competitors better on the night so suck it up.”

Another said: “A wee bit of humility wouldn’t go amiss, with a final comment reasoning: “You deserve what you got, everyone has the same 1 minute.”

This is not the end of the Commonwealth Games for him though, as today he still hopes to medal in the 50m breaststroke event, where he is the current world record holder.

Arsenal know that agreeing personal terms with Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes would not be an issue, but persuading their Premier League rivals to green light a sale remains a difficult task.

The Magpies have already seen two key first team stars quit St James’ Park this summer with Anthony Gordon joining Barcelona and Sandro Tonali making his way to Tottenham Hotspur.

Eddie Howe faces a battle to hold onto top talent on Tyneside and losing midfield metronome Guimaraes would be another blow for the Magpies boss.

Newcastle United have, so far, fought to keep Guimaraes at the club for the 2026/27 campaign, rejecting an initial £70 million bid from Arsenal. However, the Gunners do not consider the transfer saga to be over.

Arsenal Ready to Pay £77m for Bruno Guimaraes

Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo report that Arsenal are ready to pay up to £77m to sign Guimaraes. Before that, a bid worth £70m is expected to be sent to St James’ Park in the ‘coming hours’.

The Gunners begin their season with the Community Shield clash against Manchester City on August 16 and appear keen to push through a deal for Guimaraes before then.

The report adds that, should Newcastle United reject the €82m bid, the London outfit are willing to increase their offer to €90m. However, that is the maximum fee that Arsenal would be willing to pay.

Arsenal are determined to improve their squad as Arteta looks to defend the Premier League title, but an unwillingness to be held for ransom has already proved costly.

Arsenal stubborn on player valuations

The BBC claims that the Gunners held serious interest in Aston Villa star and England international Morgan Rogers, but refused to offer more than £80million. The winger eventually joined London rivals Chelsea for a lofty £117million.

Newcastle United paid £45million to sign Guimaraes from Lyon in January 2022. He has gone on to make 195 appearances for the club.

Despite having another two years left on his deal at St James’ Park, the midfielder is believed to be keen to follow Tonali and Gordon out the door after the team’s underwhelming 2025/26 season.

Guimaraes has not yet returned for pre-season with the Magpies, having been granted holiday following his World Cup exploits. Howe was asked about the ‘world-class’ player’s future on Saturday, following a pre-season friendly against Gateshead.

He said: “I’ve had some really good conversations with him before the World Cup, during the World Cup and after the World Cup. What we speak about has to remain private, but he’s just a great player, a great person.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen with Bruno’s future. That’s for other people to speculate about. They are conversations that I’m not part of.”

Anthony Joshua just about kept his showdown with Tyson Fury on the table after knocking out Kristian Prenga on Saturday night, recovering from a disastrous first round to score the victory. His promoter, Eddie Hearn, has admitted that he thought the Brit’s career was about to come to an end in Saudi Arabia.

Joshua was returning to the ring for the first time since the tragic car crash in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two of his closest friends in late December. Having been in the vehicle at the time of the incident, many wondered whether seven months was sufficient for the Watford man to deal with everything he had been through.

The 36-year-old insisted he was ready to return to action when he arrived in Jeddah for his bout against the unheralded Albanian heavyweight.

However, within just 20 seconds, Prenga caught an unstable Joshua with a perfectly timed right uppercut that sent the former two-time unified champion to the canvas, looking all over the place.

Already on unsteady legs, Joshua touched the mat again and was faced with the count for a second time. He did, though, manage to make it through to the end of the round.

Curiously, Prenga came out as a different fighter in the second session, looking reluctant to go for the finish and secure the biggest win of his career. Instead, it was Joshua who began teeing off before delivering the shot that dropped his man almost out of the ring for his 30th win as a professional.

The millions watching around the world were stunned at what they had just witnessed, specifically how mediocre the former world champion looked against an opponent he was expected to beat easily.

Eddie Hearn spoke to iFLTV in the aftermath of the contest when he admitted that he had noticed something that really bothered him even before Joshua stepped through the ropes.

Eddie Hearn Reveals Why He Was Worried About Anthony Joshua

The Essex-based promoter held nothing back as he revealed exactly what he was thinking during the first round.

“What was going through my mind, honestly, and I thought this week was, ‘Have we come back too early?'”

Explaining the worrying behaviour that he’d seen from Joshua before the bout, Hearn said:

“I could tell in the changing room. He [Joshua] started looking down.” AJ’s refusal to lift his gaze continued even when he made his way into the ring.

Having represented Joshua for his entire professional career, Hearn quickly realised that this body language was out of character for his man.

The veteran promoter conceded that he felt the fight may have come too soon for Joshua after the tragic events of December.

“You start thinking: ‘Have we made a mistake here? I know boxing helped him through the grief, but was he even ready to return? That’s what I was thinking. I was also thinking, ‘It’s over.'”

Joshua’s dramatic comeback win essentially saved his career and keeps his long-awaited clash with Fury on track. However, the victorious fighter would be able to afford such a slow start against The Gypsy King if he wants to win the fight.
