ANTHONY JOSHUA and Tyson Fury are in training for their HUGE heavyweight world title fight.
But there has been fresh dispute over the confirmation of the fight with Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 ordered by a US judge.
And it’s been suggested by Bob Arum that trilogy showdown will be on July 24.
We’ll be bringing you ALL of the latest developments on the bout plus all of the news from the world of boxing right here…
RAGING FURY
Tyson Fury has sent a chilling warning to Deontay Wilder ahead of their trilogy fight in July.
He told The Athletic: “Deontay Wilder’s a b***h, p***y, s**thouse an excuse maker and whoever it is in my next fight I don’t care who it is they are getting smashed to bits.
“I don’t care if it’s King Kong, Godzilla a great white shark, I don’t care who it is they are getting severely damaged.
“I’ve always had exceptional talent, exceptional ability to beat anybody that’s been put in front of me hence being unbeaten in 13 years. Whoever the next opponent is he is going to pay the price for all this messing around I’ve had over the last year.
“Covid f****d things up a lot, I was supposed to fight many different people, none of it has materialised. I’m being told now I’m fighting soon. I’m fit, ready to go, just got to cross all the ts and dot the is and I’m going to make mincemeat of whoever they put in front of me.”
Fury and Wilder are set to do battle for a third time CASH BACK
Anthony Joshua wants to know where Tyson Fury’s infamous £7million charity donation is before he signs up for a £20m bare-knuckle bout.
Watford’s 31-year-old WBA, IBF and WBO champ is furious his summer undisputed showdown with the WBC Gypsy King has been KO’d by his contractual obligation to fight Deontay Wilder for a third time.
And the warring boxers swapped Twitter insults on Wednesday night as things heated up between the pair, with Fury making the offer of a massive-money straightener.
Joshua then retweeted a fan comment that called into question Fury’s claim to have donated his huge purse from his 2018 draw with Deontay Wilder to good causes.
The message Joshua reposted said: “20M the f***ing homeless are still waiting on the 7M you promised them two years ago you sham.”
AR YOU SERIOUS?
Tyson Fury will fight Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas on July 24, his promoter Bob Arum insists.
The American former heavyweight champion has thrown a spanner in the works of the Gypsy King’s undisputed clash with Anthony Joshua after a judge said his trilogy with Fury must go ahead.
And after insisting Fury, 32, would not pay step-aside money, Arum told Boxing Social: “There’s no chance he [Wilder] will step aside.
“Whatever it is, the judge said he had a right to the rematch and we are going to go ahead with it. It will definitely be in Las Vegas.
“It is what it is. He will take out his frustration and anger on Wilder and he tells me he will knock Wilder out quicker than he did last time.”
YOU MAE REGRET IT
Jake Paul hit back at Tyson and Tommy Fury’s taunts by sharing a flirty ‘message’ from his rival’s girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague – only for her to claim it was a fake.
World heavyweight king Tyson and half-brother Tommy say the latter would destroy the YouTuber in the ring – showing the unbeaten American what professional boxing was really like.
But Paul labelled the Furys ‘desperate’ for enlisting NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal to help call him out and insisted he was leagues above Tommy.
The social media star then added controversy to the row by posting an Instagram image of an alleged DM from Molly-Mae in 2018.
According to Paul’s picture, she wrote: “Might be coming to America later this year and have always been a fan of your videos (heart emoji). Maybe you can show me around?!”
But Molly-Mae, who met Tommy on Love Island in 2019, scoffed at that claim.
The 21-year-old tweeted: “Times must be hard when you’re having to fake a DM…. (followed by two sad emojis)…photoshop is scary.”
Jake Paul posted this snap on his Instagram story GOOD MORNING BOXING FANS
Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder are likely to conclude their trilogy fights on July 24.
The big bout will probably take place at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, which is where one of the sport’s biggest rivalries today will come to a climax.
Fury seemed set for an all-British unification fight with Anthony Joshua but an arbitration court judge declared that Wilder is entitled to a rematch, after The Bronze Bomber turned down a step-aside fee.
That means Joshua may have to fight Oleksandr Usyk a month later after the WBO issued AJ with a 48-hour deadline on Thursday.
Wilder has broken his silence amid ongoing talks of a third fight against Tyson Fury.
The American bruiser and The Gypsy King first touched gloves three years ago in a fight that ended in a controversial draw as many claimed the British superstar deserved the victory.
The two heavyweights met again last year when Fury beat Wilder with a technical knockout in the seventh round.
The Bronze Bomber is now expected to get his opportunity to reclaim his WBC belt this coming summer.
Wilder had a message for Fury as he quoted Tupac’s ‘Hail Mary’ alongside a new workout video and wrote: “Revenge is the sweetest JOY next to getting p***y”.
Meanwhile, Fury has shared a bizarre video of himself, his brother Tommy, his son Prince, trainer SugarHill Steward and NBA legend Shaquille O’Neill calling the Paul brothers out.
To be more exact, Tommy and the rest of the crew are challenging Jake Paul to a fight.
Tyson’s brother, a 5-0 light heavyweight boxer, has been in a war of words with the youngest of the Paul brothers and a fight between the two has long been touted.
Tommy has stated that he would have broken Jake’s jaw if he tried the same thing he did with Floyd Mayweather.
Paul and Mayweather had a heated confrontation in front of the cameras until the YouTube personality grabbed Mayweather’s cap and ran away before the legendary boxer and some others chased after him.
Fury insists it would have been different if he were in Money’s shoes as the controversial celebrity would have been knocked out.

WILDER BREAKS SILENCE
Deontay Wilder has broken his silence amid talks of a third fight against Tyson Fury.
Wilder’s successful legal case to enforce a third meeting with Fury may have scrapped plans for the all-British unification showdown between The Gupsy King and Anthony Joshua.
The Bronze Bomber turned down a step-aside fee, which could amount to approximately £20million.
Thus, the American boxer is now expected to get his opportunity to reclaim his WBC belt at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on 24 July, while Oleksandr Usyk could face Joshua a month later.

FURY-OUS EXCHANGE

This casts doubt over a potential dream match between Fury and Joshua as the former has suggested he will fight Wilder first.

However, the American turned it down as he wants to avenge last year’s loss to Fury

“Bare knuckle? You’re a good kid, don’t play with me Luke!
“I’ll slap your bald head & you’ll do nothing! Waste man”
FURY RESPONDS

LASHING OUT
Anthony Joshua has taken to Twitter to lash out to Tyyson Fury once more as their dream match is facing plenty of hurdles.
Fury’s rival Deontay Wilder has turned step-aside money down whereas the WBO have given Joshua a 48-hour deadline to sort out his fight with The Gypsy King or he will have to fight Oleksandr Usyk.
AJ tweeted: “@Tyson_Fury the world now sees you for the fraud you are.
“You’ve let boxing down!
“You lied to the fans and led them on. Used my name for clout not a fight.
“Bring me any championship fighter who can handle their business correctly”
FUND AND GAMES
Anthony Joshua has jokingly suggested he will set up a GoFundMe page to pay off Deontay Wilder so that he can have his dream match with Tyson Fury next.
Joshua posted on his Snapchat: “I’m thinking about starting a GoFundMe page to raise money for Wilder’s step-aside payment.
“So I can smoke that fat guy with skinny legs from Manchester.
“These heavyweights need a podcast or something, they do more talking than fighting.”
However, Wilder has already turned down a large step-aside fee as he wants revenge from Fury following last year’s loss
WBO NOTICE
Anthony Joshua has been issued with a 48-hour deadline by the WBO to rectify his dream match with Tyson Fury before he is ordered to face Oleksandr Usyk.
That is according to Sky Sports, who claim Joshua and Fury will have to move fast.

GETTY IMAGES PREDICTION TY-ME
Tyson Fury’s training partner Stephen McKenna insists The Gypsy King is going to beat Deontay Wilder again.
McKena told Mirror Fighting: “Tyson Fury is too smart.
“He’s too good, he has Wilder beat, even looking at what he did with him last fight, he got him out of there fairly quick and I think there’s only one winner there and it’s Fury.
“He’s a great man even in the gym, he always brings a great atmosphere to the gym and he’s a very motivational guy”
BOMBS AWAY
Deontay Wilder is going to “knock Tyson Fury out cold” in their third fight.
That is according to Floyd Mayweather’s right-hand man Leonard Ellerbe, who claims Fury is set to face a completely different Wilder if and when they face off again.
Ellerbe told IFL TV: “Wilder knocks him out cold this time.
“Sugar Hill made some adjustments, they tweaked something [in Fury’s game]. It was a great adjustment. But Wilder can do some things where the advantages are in his favour.
“But he’s got to do it from the start. You know, he don’t need to sit back. He definitely don’t need to sit back, because Fury’s a tremendous boxer, especially for his size.
“But I fully expect, from what I know and, I’m privy to a lot of things that most people aren’t, and there’s a whole new Deontay Wilder that they ain’t seen. And I fully expect him to implement that when they go”
NO TAY
Deontay Wilder appears to be on the brink of a third fight with Tyson Fury.
Wilder doesn’t seem keen on taking step-aside money that would allow Fury’s clash with Anthony Joshua to take place first as he is prioritising revenge.
The Gypsy King shared a post online mocking The Bomber and his “excuses” after a defeat.
But the American star has yet to respond to the swipe
WILD N OUT
Deontay Wilder has ‘NO INTEREST’ in taking step aside money in what would be a huge blow to Tyson Fury’s super-fight with Anthony Joshua.
Wilder’s new trainer Malik Scott shared the news on Instagram, as he all-but confirmed the heavyweight is prioritising revenge over a payday.
Scott, 40, posted: “Wilder declined and had no interest in step-aside money. Y’all dealing with a whole different type motherf***a over here.
“He want the blood, not that step-aside money. ‘Retribution is upon us’.”
NO JOSHING
Anthony Joshua is keeping silent over the news that Tyson Fury may have to fight Deontay Wilder first.

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is on the brink of a third fight with Deontay Wilder.

EDDIE SET GO
Eddie Hearn has warned Tyson Fury must resolve his trilogy issue with Deontay Wilder this week – or else they turn to Oleksandr Usyk.
Hearn said on Matchroom Boxing’s YouTube channel: “I have been focusing on Plan A. The only fight we had our mind on was Tyson Fury.
“We hope that that fight can still take place on August 14th.
“The game changed last night where we have to have a plan B in place, and probably a plan C as well.
“We have a couple of different options; of course, the one that springs to mind immediately is the WBO mandatory of Oleksandr Usyk.
“They have been quite patient and I think really, we are in a situation where if Team Fury don’t get themselves together, get their act together, by the end of this week, we will have no option but to look for an alternative fight.”
PACKING ON THE PDA
Tyson Fury cosied up to pregnant wife Paris on Instagram yesterday proving they’ve never been stronger as they reunited in Miami.
The boxer, 32, was seen kissing his other half as they dined out after spending the day sunbathing alongside his brother Tommy, 21.
