Lightweight world titlist Terry Flanagan will defend his belt against Orlando Cruz in a late addition to promoter Frank Warrens card on Nov. 26 at Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff, Wales, Warren announced Thursday.Flanagan (31-0, 12 KOs), a 27-year-old southpaw from England, will make his fourth title defense and fight for the third time this year. He will be boxing in Cardiff for the second consecutive fight. He won a shutout decision against former junior lightweight world titlist Mzonke Fana on July 16 but was not pleased with his performance.Im excited to get out there again and put in a big performance before getting the blockbuster fights that Frank has promised me next year, Flanagan said. Last time I fought in Cardiff, I wasnt happy with how I boxed, so it will be good to show the Welsh fans that Im a lot better than I showed against Fana.Also a southpaw, Puerto Ricos Cruz (25-4-1, 13 KOs), 35, is boxings first openly gay fighter. He is moving up from the junior lightweight division less than two months after notching a seventh-round knockout of Gabino Cota on Oct. 7.The fight with Flanagan will be Cruzs second opportunity to win a world title. In 2013, Orlando Salido knocked him out in the seventh round in a vacant featherweight title fight in Las Vegas.Flanagan is hoping to win and move on to face bigger names next year.Franks delivered everything he promised. He got me a British title, a WBO European title and a WBO world title, Flanagan said. I got the opportunity to defend it in my own town [Manchester] and then defend it in someone elses backyard. I know Im the best lightweight in the division, and Im looking to get these big fights to prove it.Still, Flanagan said he is not going to downplay Cruz, who has won five fights in a row.I do what I need to get the win, but if I feel the stoppage is there, Ill go for it, Flanagan said. Cruz is a strong fighter and very dangerous and more than capable of causing an upset.Im out to prove a point and show everyone that Im world-class. [Jorge] Linares is seen as No. 1 in the division after beating [Anthony] Crolla, and it would be good to get that fight and do something that Crolla couldnt do to prove Im the best around.

Napoli staged a second-half comeback from two goals down after Gervinhos opener and a stunning strike from Kevin Strootman. Australia 130 for 6 (Maxwell 66, Warner 25, Dilshan 2-8, Pathirana 2-23) beat Sri Lanka 128 for 9 (Dhananjaya 62, Zampa 3-16, Faulkner 3-9) by four wicketsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsSri Lanka had been changing their side every match and Australia had already sent several men home, but like a well-heeled theatre troupe, the players that remained delivered the same performance they seemed to have given many times over this series.Sri Lanka won the toss again, batted again, did well for a little while, but mainly collapsed to a modest 128 for 9. Australia were disciplined with the ball, and athletic in the field, bruising at the top of their innings, a little shakier in the middle against spin, but got home with some comfort. The margin of this particular victory was four wickets, and they had 13 balls to spare - Glenn Maxwell providing the games best innings again. If you have been following this series closely, though, this report may feel familiar.One point of difference was that this was Tillakaratne Dilshans final international. What didnt change, really, was his limited impact with the bat. He was out for one, edging an attempted cut off John Hastings to slip, before the stadium had even properly filled. Kusal Perera dazzled briefly before sending a top edge off James Faulkner to a running, diving David Warner, to be dismissed inside the Powerplay, for 22. That wicket brought two more in quick succession. Dinesh Chandimal and Kusal Mendis were both out in single figures, seven runs apart.Steering clear of trouble at the other end, was a serene Dhananjaya de Silva, who had leant into a flowing cover drive off Mitchell Starcs fourth ball, and set about gracefully collecting runs into the outfield after that. He was light on his feet to spin, and was wise to the seamers pace variations, hitting five fours in his 62 off 50 balls. One of the more memorable of his strokes was a delightfully late dab to third man, off Maxwell. At the other end, teammates played out a series of forgettable innings. Only de Silva and Kusal Perera made double figure scores.Chamara Kapugedara and Thisara Perera were both out sloogging Adam Zampa, and Seekkuge Prasanna holed out at long on, to Faulkner, and it was these two bowlers who each collected three wickets this time around.dddddddddddd. They were economical as well as penetrative - neither conceding 20 runs off their four overs. John Hastings was also effective taking two for 23, while Mitchell Starc ensured he would not go wicketless in a single innings of the tour, when he had de Silva caught at mid off in the final over of the innings.The first over of Australias response produced just two, but the remainder of the Powerplay was full of Maxwell and David Warners pyrotechnics. They struck their first boundaries in Sachithra Senanayakes first over - Warner unleashing a particularly vicious reverse-sweep. Suranga Lakmal was carted for 13 in the next over, and Maxwells reverse-slap for six made an appearance soon after, when he hit the games first six off Sachith Pathirana.The fifth and sixth overs, bowled by Senanayake and Thisara Perera, were Australias most productive, yielding 20 and 19 respectively. Eighteen of those runs against Thisara came off four consecutive balls - Maxwell clubbing him over the deep square leg first up, then slapping three nonchalant fours.The Powerplay brought 75 runs, and the openers had virtually made the game safe by the ninth over, when Sri Lanka removed Maxwell for the first time in two games. He played on to a full delivery, and the bowler, Seekkuge Prasanna delivered a graceless send-off, which left the departed Maxwell fuming.That wicket, though, introduced a significant wobble to the innings. Pathirana claimed two wickets in the next over, and Faulkner was run out soon after. Australia needed fewer than 20 runs when Dilshan claimed his first wicket, and fewer than 10 when he took his second, but both breakthroughs prompted joy from the retiring star, and gave an adoring crowd a reason to chant his name. Travis Head finished the match with a slog-swept six that burst through the hands of Senanayake, at cow corner. ' ' '
