FORMER WBA lightweight world Champion, Paulus ‘The Hitman’ Moses, was pushed to the limit as his tough Brazilian opponent, Sidney Sigueira, consistently landed some hard body shots in their fight at the Windhoek Country Club and Resort on Saturday.

Moses, who had vowed that the Brazilian pugilist will tell the world about him after the fight, seemed to be shocked to find Sigueira in such an uncompromising mood.

Although throwing a lot more punches than his opponent, Moses was clearly in trouble every time Sigueira chose to throw combinations of his own. Read more about Hitman taken to limit

RED Bull driver Sebastian Vettel is not feeling any pressure to clinch the Formula One title at the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday, and said yesterday he will attack the race with his normal aggressive style.

Vettel is almost guaranteed of successfully defending his title, and if he takes 13 more points than Fernando Alonso in Singapore, he will take the championship with five races still to go. Given his dominance this season - winning eight of the 13 races and missing the podium only once - he could well clinch back-to-back titles beneath the Marina Bay lights.
