The club has not said what happened.

Auvaa escaped punishment following the nightclub incident in June which led to cricketers Stokes and Gus Atkinson being dropped by England for the second Test against New Zealand.

Saracens called the events "regrettable" while describing themselves as "supportive" of the player.

Separate Saracens and England cricket nights out had converged on two pubs before Stokes, Atkinson and Auvaa ended up in the VIP area of the Rex Rooms nightclub in the early hours of Monday June 8.

The two players had broken a midnight curfew while celebrating a first Test win over New Zealand at Lord's and both were dropped for the second Test.

An England and Wales Cricket Board investigation cleared Stokes and Atkinson of violent conduct, finding they had been blameless victims of "unprovoked attacks".

Stokes and Atkinson were given formal written warnings for breaching their central contracts before returning for the third Test at Trent Bridge, where Stokes resigned the captaincy and announced his retirement from international cricket.

Atkinson has remained in the England set-up and has since been awarded another central contract. %!s()

It is a surprise move as the WBA already has a 'regular' titlist in Murat Gassiev who expected to be elevated to full champion after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt.

Both Fury and Joshua previously lost their world title belts to Usyk. Now they have the chance to reclaim a championship they have held in years gone by.

"That is the case at the moment. That's going to be on the line," Warren, who promotes Fury, told Sky Sports News.

"Whoever wins that, they've got a version of the belt and the objective, after Usyk vacated all the belts, is to find out who's the best, who's going to hold all the belts, who's going to be the No 1 heavyweight.

"I'm sure Usyk will be back in next year as well. It's going to be really, really exciting times."

Warren is staging the Daniel Dubois vs Fabio Wardley rematch on Saturday for the WBO heavyweight title. He would like to put the Dubois-Wardley winner in with the Fury-Joshua victor next year.

"These guys are all looking to unify the titles and get involved in massive, massive fights in 2027. We made it at Queensberry [Promotions] our mantra to make these fights happen. We've got three of the four heavyweight champions on our roster and we're going to make unification fights next year," Warren said.

"And it would be really, really good for the winner of Tyson and AJ to be involved in that. There are some fabulous fights to be made and the heavyweight division as I keep telling everybody is on fire. You've got some fabulous fights.

"[Dubois-Wardley] will set some big stuff up for the new year."

Dubois welcomes Fury or AJ

WBO heavyweight champion Dubois told Sky Sports News: "If they feed me one of them [Fury or AJ], I'll fight them. Nice appetiser. I'm ready for whoever they throw at me after this.

"I'll gladly take on the winner of that. I will stake my claim and take on the world, the belts and everything else that comes along with it." %!s()

A second loss in three games comes after Jaissle had enjoyed an unbeaten five-game start across all competitions, but recent results have seen his side fall to 11th in the Premier League table.

A wasteful Newcastle lost at Coventry despite having 19 shots, three big chances and more than double the number of touches in the opposition box than the home side.

Jaissle told Sky Sports: "We're frustrated. It's a feeling you don't want to have on a Monday evening after a match where you should win.

"We can only apologise to the fans who came here; they deserve a different result.

"We need to analyse it, clearly. There were bits that were good but, in both boxes, to defend our own goal we need to improve and also score goals.

"The opportunities were there, but the desire and hunger to finish the attacks was missing."

He added: "We need to improve on the things we can control, and that's a lot right now."

Newcastle have now conceded the joint-most goals in the league so far alongside Bournemouth and Chelsea.

The German said at his post-match press conference: "I think it was a tough story throughout the whole match. There were elements in both boxes where we need to step up and improve.

"It's not something we can compare with the Leeds match today because I think we were at least better.

"The goals we conceded, it was a different story. We were better after the first 10 minutes; we dominated the game but conceded easy goals, which we need to improve.

"If you conceded eight goals in two away matches on Monday evenings, then it's not good enough for the Premier League."

Carra: Newcastle 'beaten up' again

It is the first time since December 2012 that Newcastle have conceded four or more goals in back-to-back Premier League away games.

For Carragher, the heavy losses at Leeds and Coventry have raised questions over Newcastle's "lack of physicality".

Speaking on Monday Night Football, Sky Sports' Carragher said: "We've consistently said this season they've had a good start results-wise, but the underlying numbers haven't been great.

"How many shots they concede, their xG. You look at two away games now where they've lost 8-2.

"He's going with two strikers up there; I know (Yoane) Wissa drops a little bit deeper, but when Eddie Howe was there it was more of a 4-3-3.

"Every manager has their own way, but when you think of the lack of physicality in that team, it might be a case where you leave one of the strikers out and go with an extra body in midfield.

"It's a young team, and it isn't as physically powerful as a lot of the teams in the Premier League.

"And in their last two away games, they've been beaten up twice - and that's got to stop very quickly."

Analysis: Coventry teach Newcastle a lesson in finishing

Sky Sports' Ron Walker:

On a night where they faced the Premier League's second-highest xG overperformers, it was Coventry who taught Newcastle a lesson in finishing at the CBS Arena.

It was one they had learned the hard way too, with the worst shot conversion of any team in the league coming into Monday's game and just one of 51 shots finding the back of the net to date.

But football is a funny old game. A 4-1 scoreline suggests Newcastle were outplayed, which could not be further from the truth, though they were certainly outfought.

Where Coventry stood resilient - even clearing off their own line from Matias Fernandez-Pardo once he had rounded Carl Rushworth - Newcastle caused too many of their own problems, and, for once, the Sky Blues took full advantage.

Three superb finishes, and an early penalty, saw them to their first Premier League home win in more than 9,000 days, but their finishing was still not Coventry's most impressive quality on the night.

That fortitude, digging in after taking an early lead and hanging on after Sven Botman's wonder strike had given Newcastle a glimmer of hope at 2-1, was what won them the day and, on fight at least, that was enough to crown them worthy winners.

They have already needed that mental strength to bounce back from four goalless and pointless games to start their Premier League return, and, in a league as punishing as this, that could be what decides whether they will stay there come May. %!s()

In this increasingly anti-consumer tech world that seems fixed on abandoning all else in favor of data centers, there's rarely been a worse time to buy a new GPU. While many panic-bought PCs to avoid RAMaggedon, there's an even bigger crowd of PC gamers who have been unable to pick up a new graphics card for years. 

Just because you're unable to afford a shiny NVIDIA RTX 50-Series GPU doesn't mean you can't squeeze more performance out of your current card, though. Some graphics tweaks, supersampling advice and general GPU maintenance will help boost FPS performance in your favorite games.

Use supersampling and frame generation to boost FPS

In an era where graphical advancements are outpacing hardware evolution — hello, path tracing — it's becoming vital to get the most out of your current GPU through any means necessary. As someone who is now smitten with high-end ray tracing (it looks incredible in the likes of Cyberpunk 2077 or Marvel's Spider-Man 2), I'm all about embracing AI to help boost frame rates. And yes, I do need to give my soul a shower for admitting that.

Whether you're interested in advanced ray tracing features or not, it's clear that graphically demanding games now rely on various forms of supersampling to lock down buttery, console-beating frame rates. Be it AMD FSR, NVIDIA DLSS or Intel XeSS, making the most out of AI-driven, FPS-boosting tech can be crucial for maintaining stable performance at high resolutions. None of us can be snobs when it comes to supersampling or frame generation now.

Both NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 and AMD FSR 4 produce image quality that's on par with playing games at native resolution, while drastically boosting performance. These technologies work by rendering a game at a lower internal resolution (thus producing fewer pixels) before using deep learning techniques to upscale the final image to a far higher pixel count. Since DLSS 2.0 launched back in 2020, I have leaned on supersampling. With the current iterations of the big three solutions, it basically means free frames with little downside.

The issue of NVIDIA's DLSS 4.5 Multi Frame Generation tech is a little more complicated. While it's capable of producing 200 fps-topping results in Hogwarts Legacy with the x6 modifier enabled in my experience, it adds serious input latency in games that support the fledgling technology. Earlier incarnations of Team Green's tech that top out at x2 and x3 modifiers perform nicely on supported titles, with the added benefit of producing fewer distracting visual artifacts than MFG (like shimmering around in-game text). 

As a PC player of 30 years, I can recommend supersampling without hesitation. Regarding the pros and cons of frame gen, I suggest experimenting with it until you make up your own mind.

Lower settings and turn off ray tracing

Dave Meikleham for Engadget

This is an obvious one, but if your GPU is sputtering away and dropping frames in the best PC games, it's best to lower graphical settings right away. Only the fastest graphics cards can cope with a modern AAA title's Ultra preset, so unless you're rocking a top-tier card, it's wise to drop your settings to Balanced. If your GPU is a couple of generations old, selecting a game's Performance preset should help you claw back even more frames at the cost of graphical fidelity.

Unless you've got an ultra-obsessive eye, it's unlikely you're going to miss features like ambient occlusion or screen space reflections. By all means, tinker with in-game sliders to see what you like the look of and whether you can stomach the resulting performance cost.

In high-octane first-person shooters or fast-paced racing games, fancy rendering techniques are wasted on most gamers. Do yourself a favor and disable any setting that doesn't enhance your experience. An increasing number of PC titles (like Resident Evil Requiem) have excellent graphics menus that provide before and after shots of how effects alter a game. If you can't appreciate the difference in these preview panes, shut the setting off to improve your chances of boosting fps.

Those on budget GPUs should never enable ray tracing. This ultra-advanced lighting technique uses multi-bounce illumination to create incredibly realistic in-game shadows and reflections, but it's hugely punishing on performance. Unless you own a beastly graphics card, ray tracing should almost always be disabled, as it can often lower frame rates by some 20 to 40 percent.

Remember the basics, clean your GPU and consider overclocking

Dave Meikleham for Engadget

Though the above methods should help pump up your frame rate numbers, there's a physical element to this as well. You must know how to clean and organize your PC properly to get the most out of it. Keeping the inside of your system tidy can be a surprising way to up its effectiveness.

Thermal throttling is a potentially big issue for both your GPU and CPU. If you don't regularly maintain your machine, dust can quickly build up, leading to a situation where the pride and joy of your gaming PC can't maintain a regular airflow. Dust gathering around the fans of a GPU can lead to decreased performance as your card hits its temperature limit more quickly. Once it does, core clock speeds will reduce in order to lower temps, resulting in reduced frame rates.

To safely clean your graphics card, first switch off your PC and unplug it. Once you gain access to your GPU, you'll want a can of compressed air and a soft microfiber cloth on hand. Use short spurts of air directed at the fans to disperse debris, then give the card a gentle wipe with the cloth. This isn't a guaranteed FPS booster, but it will at least keep your GPU in good (hopefully optimal) shape going forward.

Don't neglect the basics, either. Keep your GPU driver updated for the best performance, and close as many background apps as possible so your system isn't devoting significant resources to anything outside your game. If you want to get advanced, overclocking your GPU can wring out more performance by going beyond the manufacturer's intended settings. MSI Afterburner is the recommended tool for the job, though you'll need to research how to do so safely. %!s()
