But Thompson travelled to Germany last October to outpoint Rocchigiani to regain the title.. FORMULA One authorities are being urged to take a radical short cut to more entertaining grand prix racing. The FIA, the sport's governing body, has called for suggestions to make overtaking easier and Patrick Head, the technical director of Williams, has responded by proposing the introduction of a limited-use lane. I want to concentrate on this totally, and when we are in safe waters, then I will then think about my future.". CHRIS EUBANK will move up two weight divisions to challenge Carl Thompson for his World Boxing Organisation cruiserweight title at Manchester's Nynex Arena on 18 April. Eubank had been used to campaigning in the 12 stone super-middleweight division, but this time will not have any weight making problems with the cruiser limit being 13st 8lb. "I will be coming in with a little podgy stomach which will enable me to soak up the body punches," said Eubank, dressed in his usual outfit of riding boots, jodhpurs and walking stick.

"Losing that weight [last time] wasn't easy."It will be Eubank's 23rd WBO championship bout, having had four at middleweight and 18 at super-middle, where he reigned from September 1991 until March 1995.Eubank will, though, be coming off a losing streak, having been beaten by Ireland's Steve Collins (twice) and the Welshman Joe Calzaghe in his last three title engagements.The Calzaghe defeat came in October in Sheffield when, after being floored in the opening round, he lost the vacant title fight on points.That was his 50th contest and his chin will need to be up to its normal strength for this 51st against Thompson, who will be fighting in his home city.Thompson, a former kick-boxing champion, is a big puncher and is in his second reign as WBO titleholder.He lost it first time around in freak circumstances when he retired against Germany's Ralf Rocchigiani in Manchester in June, 1995. The former Luton player dismissed as "rubbish" reports that Milosevic had agreed a pre-contract deal to join the Spanish side in the summer.Antic, who has been in England to watch Villa before next week's Uefa Cup quarter-final first-leg meeting, said: "Milosevic is an interesting kind of player with a lot of fine skills for a big player, but as things stand at the moment I don't think we have any interest in him."Uwe Rosler has pledged his immediate future to Manchester City following Joe Royle's arrival at Maine Road.The German striker, whose two goals at Swindon on Saturday helped give the new manager his first win in charge, has been in dispute over his contract for some time.His previous manager, Frank Clark, who was sacked by City last week, had virtually given up on the striker, had refused to improve the offer of a new deal, and was expecting him to walk away from the club under the Bosman ruling when his contract runs out in the summer.But Rosler said yesterday: "At the moment I only have one thing on my mind, and that is the need to stay up. The deal was originally agreed soon after Christian Gross's arrival as Spurs coach last year, but was delayed until yesterday, when the player finalised personal terms. The midfielder should make his debut in Sunday's game with Bolton at White Hart Lane, a crucial match for both teams as they struggle to avoid relegation.Raddy Antic, the Atletico Madrid coach, has denied that he is to make a bid for Savo Milosevic, the transfer-listed Aston Villa striker. A spokesman said: "The referee has seen the tape and the result stands.". All I can do at the moment to put this right is go out and settle the score with West Ham in the replay on Wednesday, but after that I have to clear my name."The trouble started when Berkovitch fell over after a tackle by Billy McKinlay Gallacher ran over to him and the pair exchanged insults. TOTTENHAM have completed the pounds 2.3m signing of the Algerian international Moussa Saib from Spanish side Valencia. Minutes later, with the pair chasing the ball across the pitch, the Israeli went down dramatically.Gallacher denies making an anti-Semitic comment at any time.

An Israeli newspaper has alleged that three Rovers players made racist comments towards Berkovitch, but players from both sides have said they heard no such abuse.The Football Association confirmed that Gallacher will begin a three- game ban for violent conduct this weekend. "I am definitely taking steps towards clearing my name on this I am not going to sit on the fence and take this any longer I know I did nothing wrong and I know I am innocent. I will miss three and a half games over this and it is scandalous This is my livelihood Our season could be badly damaged by the time I get back. It's not right."I was confident that the referee would see what happened, that's why I asked him through the club to think again.

The Blackburn Rovers striker is angry that his appeal to referee Peter Jones against his sending-off 10 days ago following a clash with West Ham's Israeli midfielder was turned down by Jones yesterday.
