 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed his death in a statement, saying it was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the news. His cause of death has not been disclosed. Dieperink was arrested in April by the Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom following a report of an alleged sexual assault involving a teenage boy in London. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said officers responded on April 9 to a report of sexual assault at an address in Croydon and arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of the offence.

 ANTHONY JOSHUA DROPS TO 7TH POSITION IN NEW HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING RANKINGS


Anthony Joshua is now 7th in a new ranking of boxing heavyweight released by Ring Magazine after his devastating loss to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on September 21.


Before the fight, Joshua was third in the Ring Magazine rankings and was looking to cement his status as a top contender with a win over Dubois but was dropped four times enroute to a devastating defeat.


As a result, the former two-time world champion has now dropped significantly to seventh position, with Dubois overtaking him.


Dubois now sits in second position, only behind Tyson Fury who sits in first position and current unified champion Oleksandr Usyk who is the Ring Magazine champion.


Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang sit in third and fourth respectively, with Agit Kabayel and Martin Bakole in fifth and sixth all ranked above the declined Joshua.


Parker and Zhang have both recently picked up wins over Deontay Wilder to boost their position, while Parker sits above Zhang after beating him in December last year.


Kabayel beat Frank Sanchez to send him rocketing into the top ten, while Martin Bakole stunned American prospect Jared Anderson to continue his ascent.


AJ sits marginally in the top ten ahead of Dubois' other most recent victim Filip Hrgovic, while Efe Ajagba and Justis Huni round off the list.


Joshua and Dubois will rematch on December 21, with 'Dynamite' potentially in line to face the winner for the undisputed crown, though a rematch with AJ remains an alternative option.
