If you've been away from a screen or newspaper all weekend or want a summary, here's a quick recap of the main events.
1. Anthony Joshua defeats Wladimir Klitschko
Five major questions were answered by Anthony Joshua against Wladimir Klitschko. In a fight which grew to epic proportions in the build-up, with so many imponderables given the 14-year age gap and the gulf in experience, both men delivered a heavyweight contest for the ages, with its drama, changing pace and gripping narrative, not to mention the knockdowns on both sides and the see-sawing nature of the battle.
2. Madeleine McCann suspect 'is female'
Scotland Yard are hoping to speak to a woman that they believe could hold the key to discovering what happened to Madeleine McCann a decade ago, sources have said.
Detectives are understood to have scoured Europe looking for the woman who was spotted near the family’s holiday apartment in the Portugese resort of Praia da Luz on May 3, 2007, when Madeleine disappeared.
Sources have claimed that they are ready to "move in" and interview the women in a "hugely significant line of inquiry".

North Korea test-fired a ballistic missile in the early hours of Saturday morning, reports in South Korea said, amid rising military tensions with the US.
US officials said the missile did not leave North Korean territory and was probably a medium-range missile known as a KN-17.

4. Theresa May rejects Brussels's hardline Brexit demands
The Prime Minister has dismissed a series of hardline Brexit demands from Brussels as politicians on both sides of the Channel warned that the talks could turn nasty.
Theresa May said requests formally agreed by EU leaders were simply a negotiating position.
Mrs May insisted she was sticking to her own demands outlined in a speech earlier this year which included tariff-free trade, ending the jurisdiction of European courts and stopping free movement of migrants.
5. Rampant Spurs revel in north London ascendancy
Mind the gap. St Totteringham’s Day is no more. Tottenham Hotspur have waited 22 years for this.
Arsenal can take down the bunting and hand back the bragging rights – although it felt more than that after this result and this powerful statement of a performance.
Spurs will, finally, finish above Arsenal in the league for the first time in more than two decades and it was confirmed with a victory as emphatic as they could have wished for. The scoreline was 2-0 but it seemed like there was a gulf between the sides only kept in some semblance of a check by the Arsenal goalkeeper, Petr Cech.
6. Intruders shoot dead 61-year-old businessman in £1 million Dorset home
Burglars who shot dead a man in his 60s after breaking into a £1 million home are being hunted by police.
The 61-year-old businessman was shot when at least two intruders broke into a detached house in the quiet village of St Ives near Ringwood, Dorset, on the outskirts of the New Forest at just before 3am on Sunday morning.
He was rushed to hospital where he was later pronounced dead. One other person was in the property at the time and is said to be "deeply traumatised" and being supported by officers.
The victim was named as Peter Hedger, known as Guy, who lived in the property with husband Simon-Pierre Hedger-Cooper, 48. The couple had been in a civil partnership for 12 years and had moved to Dorset from Brighton five years ago.
7. 300 Britons fighting for Isil with strategic roles, says UK defector
As many as 300 Britons are still fighting with Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, a recent defector from London has revealed, amid growing concern the jihadists are plotting attacks on the UK.
Stefan Aristidou, 23, from Enfield, was arrested last week in the southern Turkish town of Kilis, three miles from the Syrian border, after surrendering to authorities.
Speaking in an interview before crossing into Turkey, Aristidou said there was “somewhere between 250-300” British Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) fighters remaining - some in Iraq but most of whom are operating in Syria.
8. Buses burn in Rio de Janeiro amid general strike against proposed Brazilian labour laws
A peaceful protest by several thousand people in central Rio in the afternoon turned violent, with small groups smashing bank windows, erecting barricades and setting fires, including torching at least eight buses.
Police responded with barrages of rubber bullets and tear gas, which floated through the avenues and up into the high windows of office buildings.
9. Terror suspect arrested in armed raid tried to take two teenagers to Syria
A 21-year-old man arrested during a counter-terror raid in North London in which a woman was shot by police, was detained in Turkey two years ago but was never charged.
Mohamed Amoudi, was one of six people arrested when counter terror police raided a house in Willesden on Thursday evening as part of an operation to interrupt an "active plot".
10. Famed Swiss climber Ueli Steck killed near Mount Everest
Famed Swiss climber Ueli Steck was killed on Sunday in a mountaineering accident near Mount Everest in Nepal, expedition organisers said.
Mingma Sherpa of Seven Summit Treks said Steck was killed at Camp 1 of Mount Nuptse. His body has been recovered from the site and taken to Lukla, where the only airport in the Mount Everest area is located.
It was not clear how Steck died but he was planning to climb 8,850 metre (29,035ft) Mount Everest and nearby Mount Lhotse next month.
11. Catholic church shuns 'recycled' cathedral in Spain
The problem is that nobody seems to want it.
“I do it out of faith; there is no other reason,” he says of the extraordinary structure he started in 1961 without any plans or sketches after failing in his ambition to become a priest. “It’s all in my head.”
Using recycled masonry and household rubbish items such as bottles, cans and old tyres, Mr Gallego has single-handedly built an extensive complex which includes a cloister and a cupola almost 40 metres high.
Must-read analysis of the weekend
Anthony Joshua’s bout with Wladimir Klitschko among the great heavyweight fights
Rising from the floor to win is boxing’s most potent storyline. When both fighters return from the horizontal to the upright in a colossal struggle for heavyweight supremacy, history is bound to take a special interest.
Anthony Joshua’s victory over Wladimir Klitschko belongs with the very best of bouts in that marquee weight division since the gilded age of Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and Joe Frazier.
The protective fence around the Ali era can be left in place. There is no need to crowbar Joshua v Klitschko into that kind of bracket. But nor is there any duty to downplay Saturday night’s barnburner out of loyalty to the greats of the past. It was certainly the best heavyweight fight on this island since the war, and undeniably the most lucrative, probably breaking the pay-per-view record set by Floyd Mayweather v Manny Pacquaio in Las Vegas.
