Tennis icon Serena Williams and Formula One World Champion Sir Lewis Hamilton are committing millions in the takeover bid for the English football club

The fight for Chelsea football clubs isn’t over yet, with a shock and unexpected bid from two of the world’s biggest sporting heroes.

23-time tennis major winner Serena Williams and seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton are joining a consortium vying for the ownership of Chelsea Football Club.

Reports suggest the bid is spearheaded by Sir Martin Broughton, a British businessman and deputy chairman of International Airlines Group.

The two sporting legends are jumping on board the bid as sports business investors and are set to throw millions behind the bid.

The bid is one of the final three left in the race, and if it wins the sporting icons will reap significant financial benefits.

It is unclear at this stage whether they would play an ambassador role in the club.

Russian sanctions

The club was put up for grabs after sanctions were placed on its former owner and Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, amid the war in Ukraine.

The west imposed wide-sweeping sanctions on Russia’s elite, to put pressure on Vladimir Putin.

This included oligarchs living abroad in other countries, including Roman Ambramovich.

Abramovich agreed it was best for the club’s interest to step away, but continues to deny any friendly ties with Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.

The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.

Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.

Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
