There's an exciting weekend of sport in London ahead of us: the Laver Cup arrives at the O2, Twickenham hosts a rugby international, and Johnny Fisher headlines a big boxing night at the Copper Box. Add cricket at the Oval and Lord's, plus a full weekend of club rugby and ice hockey, and there's plenty to get out to. I'll be at the O2 for the Laver Cup myself on Friday, then over to Wembley for England vs Spain on Saturday. Read on for the details.
