PSG Defender Ramos Still Has ‘Four or Five Years’ at Top Level

Paris St. Germain center back Sergio Ramos said he wants to play at the highest level for another four or five years.

The 36-year-old arrived in July last year on a free transfer following 16 years at Real Madrid but has played only seven times for the Ligue 1 club due to calf problems.

The Spain international played the full 90 minutes for PSG for just the third time in last week's 6-1 thrashing of Clermont.

"I would like to play four to five more years at the top level and then have another experience," Ramos told Prime Video on Monday.

"Here, I have two years in Paris, we will try to do three, then one more, and then we will see. But as long as the body holds, I think I can keep my mind focused."

Ligue 1 leaders PSG are on 71 points after 31 matches, 12 points ahead of Marseille.

Two boxers in Japan have died from brain injuries they incurred in separate bouts during the same event in Tokyo, officials said.

Super featherweight Shigetoshi Kotari and lightweight Hiromasa Urakawa, both 28, fought on the same card in Tokyo's Korakuen Hall on August 2.

Both were later rushed to hospital where they had brain surgery, AFP reported.

Kotari, who battled to a draw after 12 rounds against fellow Japanese fighter Yamato Hata lost consciousness soon after and "passed away at 10:59 pm on August 8," his M.T boxing gym said on its website Saturday.

"He did his best to fight his way through the surgery and treatment he had been receiving at a Tokyo hospital due to acute subdural hematoma," the gym's post said.

Urakawa was stopped in the eighth and final round against Yoji Saito and "tragically succumbed to injuries sustained during his fight", the World Boxing Organization (WBO) said in an Instagram post on Sunday.

Urakawa died on Saturday night, according to local media reports.

"This heartbreaking news comes just days after the passing of Shigetoshi Kotari, who died from injuries suffered in his fight on the same card," the WBO said, adding it extends "our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and the Japanese boxing community."

Tsuyoshi Yasukochi, secretary-general of the Japan Boxing Commission, told local media after their hospitalization that it was likely "the first time in Japan two fighters underwent skull-opening surgery for injuries stemming from the same event".
