Bolton vs. Wrexham: How to watch League One, streaming

Both teams are looking for a second straight win to start the league season

Wrexham will hit the road for the first time in League One on Sunday, as the team travels to face Bolton Wanderers at Toughsheet Community Stadium.

The Red Dragons kicked off League One play with a 3-0 win over Wycombe last weekend, as Max Cleworth, Jack Marriott and Steven Fletcher all scored.

That was followed by a midweek defeat against Sheffield United, which got a goal from American defender Auston Trusty in a 4-2 win at Bramall Lane.

For Wrexham coach Phil Parkinson, Sunday’s game will be a homecoming after he served as Bolton’s head coach from 2016 to 2019.

Bolton, meanwhile, is looking to return to the Championship for the first time since the 2018-19 season — when Parkinson was the head coach.

Bolton began League One play last weekend with a 2-1 win at Leyton Orient.

Amir Khan offers property as temporary hospital in pandemic fight

Amir Khan is offering to turn a piece of real estate into a temporary hospital for people infected by the virus and in need of care.

Amir Khan was looking for a fight. He found one.

Khan is joining the fight against coronavirus. He is offering to turn a piece of real estate worth about $5.9 million in England into a temporary hospital for people infected by the virus and in need of care.

Khan had planned to turn the property in his hometown of Bolton, near Manchester, into a place for weddings and shopping. It was scheduled to open in August. But that was before the pandemic changed lives and careers.

Khan made the offer on his Twitter account, saying: “I am prepared to give my 60,000 square foot 4 story building which is due to be a wedding hall and retail outlet to the NHSuk (the U.K.’s National Health Service) to help people affected by the coronavirus.

“Please keep safe.”

Boxing has gone dark for the foreseeable future. Khan, a former junior welterweight champion, hasn’t fought since a stoppage of Billy Dibb in July. He had been talking about a bigger fight. Longtime rival Kell Brook had been mentioned as a possibility.

But everything from the Olympics to prizefighting is on the shelf until the pandemic subsides.

“I am aware of how difficult it is for the public to get a hospital bed in this tragic time,’’ Khan said a few days after former stablemate Manny Pacquiao jumped into the coronavirus fight by donating buses, masks and testing kits to medical personnel in the Philippines.
