TYSON Fury is known for being the WBC heavyweight champion, having held the title undefeated since 2020.

But he’s not the only one of his brothers who is a boxing champ.

Tyson Fury has four brothers including Tommy Fury[/caption]

Who are Tyson Fury’s brothers?

Tommy Fury

Tyson Fury and Tommy Fury are half-brothers, who share the same father John Fury, but were born by different mothers.

Like his big bro, he is a professional boxer and, as of 2023, is unbeaten during his career.

His fights include Jake Paul, Daniel Bocianski, and Anthony Taylor.

Away from boxing and Tommy shot to fame on Love Island 2019, where he met his fiancee and mother of his child Molly-Mae Hague.

Roman Fury

Roman Fury is another of the Fury brothers and the son of John.

Like his famous siblings, he is also a boxer and lives near to Tyson in Morecombe.

In 2020 Roman announced he was the ninth Fury family member to take up boxing.

He explained to iFL: “When lockdown happened I had nothing else to do.

“I had no work on, as many people didn’t, and I had the opportunity to go and train.

“So I did it, got fit, lost a bit of weight and I just fell in love with it.”

Shane Fury

Next we have Shane Fury, who is more under the radar than his other brothers.

Although he isn’t a boxer, he is incredibly supportive of his siblings careers.

Speaking to iFL TV after Tyson’s fight with Deontay Wilder in 2020, Shane said: “In my opinion, he [Fury] is the best heavyweight ever made.

“The size, stature of him, he shouldn’t be able to do what he can do but he’s a proper fighting man. He’s proved it tonight that he’s the best in the world.”

Hugh Fury

Hugh Fury is into his fitness and works out reguarlly[/caption]

Hugh Fury is Tyson’s fourth brother, and although he isn’t a boxer, he is very much into his fitness.

He often posts his work out routines on Instagram, and keeps his followers up-to-date with his training.

From the looks of his Instagram he also seems to be into running and fitness like his brother Tyson and dad John.

Hugh is married to wife Tiffany Fury.

Does Tyson Fury have any sisters?

Tyson doesn’t have any sisters, just brothers.

The Fury brothers also have famous cousins, which includes Hughie Fury.

Not to be confused with their brother Hugh, Hughie is also a professional boxer.

OLEKSANDR USYK’S Ukraine Independence Day celebrations today will be haunted by severed limbs, ­‘zombies’ and abandoned playgrounds.

The war-torn nation left the Soviet Union 32 years ago  — and is now fighting for its existence following Russia’s invasion.

Usyk, centre, holds a machine gun as he joins his country efforts to thwart Vladimir Putin’s Russian invaders[/caption]

World heavyweight champ Usyk chose this weekend to defend his WBA, IBF and WBO crowns against Daniel Dubois in Wroclaw, a Polish city that has welcomed around 250,000 Ukrainians since the war started 18 months ago.

Forty thousand of them will pack the local football stadium on Saturday night to watch their hero take on Londoner Dubois.

At 300 miles from the Ukrainian border, it is the closest Usyk has got to fighting at home since 2015 and should be a blue and yellow parade of national pride.

But the father of three, whe spent time on the front line in the East Ukraine ghost town of Niu-York, has lost friends, been separated from his family and remains troubled by  his experiences.

He explained: “Through binoculars, from 900 metres, I saw my enemies running, exploding tanks and broken houses. I saw people with no legs and arms.

“I saw people walking but looking like they were dead.

“When I was going in the car around the city, I realised it was a dead city. I saw children’s toys and playgrounds but everything looked dead, there was no energy in the city.

“I realised that one day that place, on that ground, kids were playing. But now it is dead.”

World champ Oleksandr Usyk says he is ‘not a general, just a regular Ukrainian guy’ when asked by friends why he appears on the front line[/caption]

Britain’s Daniel Dubois prepares to face Oleksandr Usyk n Wroclaw, Poland[/caption]

The former Olympic gold medallist and undisputed cruiserweight king regularly speaks to Ukraine fighters.

He added: “I get a lot of text messages from my fans and friends on the front line.

“I sometimes speak to my friends on the phone and I can hear missiles exploding in the background. I can hear the sounds of bombing.

“The people I speak to say, ‘Brother, I will call you back, if I am still alive’. Thankfully, most of the time, they stay alive.”

Usyk has not fought since beating Anthony Joshua for the second time in Saudi Arabia 12 months ago.

It is staggering that the southpaw genius has had the mental strength to twice dominate AJ and now get ready to dice with Dynamite Dubois who, at 25, is 11 years younger than the champ.

But Usyk insists he is just a simple family man.

He said: “For the last 18 months my family has been separated.

“My kids cannot live in Ukraine, they live somewhere else.

“But all of this makes me stronger. Some of the guys I was with on the front line did not understand why I was there.

“They asked, ‘Why are you here, what are you doing here? Some of the generals are not even coming to this place’.

I pray every day for the Lord to give me more understanding of what is going on in Ukraine.

Oleksandr Usyk

“I told them, ‘I am not a general, just a regular Ukrainian guy’.

“If I can bring them just a little bit of enjoyment, I would fight every day.

“Because of where they are, they don’t have anything else to do, or look at, other than fighting for ­freedom. But we are going to get  that freedom.”

You would expect a prize fighter suffering like this to be a terrifying force, fuelled by vengeance and desperate to cause damage on every opponent, in and outside of the ropes.

But Usyk somehow manages to lean on his religion and pure humanity to hope for a resolution.

He said: “I pray every day for the Lord to give me more understanding of what is going on in Ukraine.

“I don’t want to be angry at people, I want to love this world as it is.

“I understand why God takes something away from us, why he takes us on to a hard road.

“Before God gives you something big, he is going to take something small away from you.

“But you cannot give up, you have to fight until the end.”

Post 23626107 at The Sun

IT takes a lot of guts to pull off the Ali shuffle in a boxing ring – but showmanship is in the DNA of The Greatest’s grandson.

This weekend the undefeated Nico Ali Walsh will step into the ring for his tenth professional bout as he attempts to prove he is the true heir to his grandfather Muhammad Ali’s sporting legacy.

Nico, pictured here as a child with his legendary grandad[/caption]

For as long as he can remember, the 23-year-old fighter has faced people who would love to take down the grandson of the former heavyweight champion, who died in 2016 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.

And rather than trying to ignore the huge shadow of history’s most famous boxer, Nico is facing up to his challengers in true Ali style.

The middleweight, who shares a trainer and promoter with Tyson Fury, has knocked out five of his opponents so far.

And he is not the only Ali grandson willing to put the family reputation on the line in the ring.

Last night Nico’s brother Biaggio, 24, was fighting at New York’s Madison Square Garden in a mixed martial arts contest.

One person who knows better than most how the brothers measure up against the legend is their grandmother — Ali’s second wife Khalilah, formerly Belinda Boyd.

She says watching Nico is like seeing her former husband return, and tells The Sun: “He has the stamina, the motion, the motivation, the drive and he has the DNA of a champion.

“He can be really good and I think he can go all the way.

“It’s like reincarnation.

“In his own way he’s Nico Ali, just like Muhammad was in his young days fighting when he backed it all the way.”

Tough times

Khalilah was 17 when she married Ali in 1967, the same year he was prosecuted for refusing the draft to fight in the Vietnam War and was stripped of his heavyweight title.

His conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court four years later.

Khalilah stuck by him during the tough times and they had four children, Maryum, now 55, twins Jamillah and Rasheda, 53 — Nico and Biaggio’s mum — and Muhammad Ali Junior, 51.

But following his constant cheating, Khalilah and Ali divorced in 1977, two years after he defeated Joe Frazier in the fight dubbed the Thrilla In Manila.

She says: “I went through some very tough times with him and I was really angry with some of the things he did, but I could no longer tolerate that so I had to let him go in the end.”

As kids Nico and Biaggio would watch their grandad hit a punch bag, and at school they were regularly asked if they could hit as hard as Ali and were often challenged to fights.

But even though Nico says he tried to avoid talking about his family connection, there was no escaping it, and to protect himself he learned how to spar from the age of ten.

He said: “Everyone wants to knock out an Ali.

“So my first time ever sparring in a boxing gym, I felt that.”

Meanwhile, Biaggio initially opted for American football, making a big impact as a running back in the state of Nevada, where the family moved before the boys started secondary school.

Rasheda hoped her dad would also urge Nico to follow a different sport from boxing, but she was disappointed.

She said: “My facial expression is like, ‘Daddy, what are you doing? Why are you encouraging him to box?’”

The family’s home in Las Vegas was not far from Ali’s in neighbouring Arizona, and the brothers got to know their grandfather well.

Nico was disappointed to lose his first amateur bout aged 15, but Ali, who he called “Poppy”, told him not to worry about it.

He told Nico: “You don’t have to be undefeated to be the Greatest.

“It’s part of the journey.

“Enjoy this journey.

“It’s an opportunity to look back and say, ‘I did that wrong. I did that wrong’.”

And defeat did not shake Nico from his love for the sport.

Moreover, Khalilah, 73, is supportive, saying: “I understand Nico loves his grandfather, he wants to be like his grandfather, but I didn’t see that at all at first.

“When I saw him fight and train in the gym I’ve seen different, but when I went to one of his fights I see he’s mastering his art, he’s done real good.”

Nico turned professional in 2021, signing a deal with veteran 91-year-old promoter Bob Arum, who co-promotes Fury and looked after more than 25 of Ali’s fights.

Nico has trained with Sugarhill Steward, who last year helped to guide Fury to victory against Deontay Wilder.

On moving up from amateur to pro boxing, Nico says of the British boxer: “He gave me the best advice I’ve heard.

“He said he had 35 amateur fights — if you can fight, you can fight.”

With such top-class backing, Nico has the opportunity to work his way up to a championship attempt.

But, as with all new fighters, his handlers are not rushing him.

On Saturday he faces undefeated American Sona Akale at the Hard Rock Hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Khalilah says: “He’s taking his time, and he loves Muhammad so much and wants to be like him.

“But you know what, he’s undefeated, he’s a knockout artist — he knocks people out.”

Nico turned professional in 2021[/caption]

Nico is also displaying some of the great entertainer’s bravado by shuffling his feet in front of an opponent.

Khalilah continues: “He sometimes says he shuffles like Muhammad.

“He says it would just come to him in his head because he’s living his passion in sport to perfect what his grand-father had.”

Biaggio, who works as a bouncer, is still an amateur MMA fighter, despite joining the Professional Fighters League.

He has achieved an impressive four consecutive first-round knockouts.

There is one difference between the Ali generations — and that is that Nico is not one to engage in trash-talking another fighter, as his grandfather used to.

Ali famously said his opponent Sonny Liston was “too ugly to be world champion” in 1964.

Nico said: “My grandfather is selling my fights for me, because of the name.

“All I’ve got to do is work hard and show my dedication and my ability, and that sells the fight.

“I don’t have to be a braggadocious, loud guy like he was.”

Among those who are trying to bait the Ali Walsh brothers is You-Tuber and occasional boxer Jake Paul, who has challenged them both to a fight.

But at 6ft 1in and around 13st, cruiserweight Jake — who is now turning his hand to mixed martial arts — is significantly bigger than either of the brothers.

Biaggio said: “I have no problem with Jake Paul but he should fight someone his own size.”

Jake is unlikely to be the last person to try to gain some publicity by boasting that he can beat an Ali.

Nico understands that he is a big name that everyone will want to put down.

He said: “That’s how it is every single time — they just prepare because they want to be able to beat an Ali, I guess.

“So I’m prepared for that and it’s funny how that works. But I’m ready.”

Tyson Fury has also drawn comparisons to Ali, with his larger-than-life charisma and showmanship, such as post-fight singing, and Khalilah is a fan, though she adds: “I think Tyson Fury is a great fighter but he’s not Muhammad Ali at all.

“He can try to be like Muhammad Ali and have the confidence and all that, and that’s a good thing, but he’s no Muhammad Ali.”

In his younger days, Nico struggled with being compared to his grandfather, but he knows there is no escaping the Ali legacy.

Instead, he has embraced it by having two portraits of Ali tattooed on his arm.

He said: “When I was younger, I hated it.

“I’m still trying to embrace it myself.

“But that’s what it’s all about – I have to run towards it because I have no other option.”

TYSON FURY has enjoyed a lunch date in Morecambe Bay with his wife Paris.

The couple’s loved up day out comes after Chris Tarrant broke his silence on his “row” with the Gypsy King.

Paris shared snaps from their date to Instagram[/caption]

Paris shared a selection of snaps to Instagram of her date with her world champion boxer husband.

She posted the pictures to her story as they headed for lunch in Morecambe.

Along with a video of a restaurant they visited in Morecambe Bay, she shared a loved up selfie of her and Fury with the caption: “Lunch date.”

Paris also added a snap of her food as they tucked into lunch on Wednesday.

The mum-of-six wrote “all for me” next to a picture of her meal.

She was served up with a sandwich, salad and crisps on a plate as well as a bowl of soup and bread.

Fury, who resides in Morecambe with Paris and their six children, has been embroiled in a bizarre row with TV legend Tarrant.

It comes after the heavyweight champion revealed details of a “big row at a hotel” in his new Netflix series.

However, Tarrant has now claimed he has never met Fury as he responded to the scene from At Home with the Furys.

As well as the release of his new reality series, Fury is also preparing to return to the ring in the coming months.

He is set to take on former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia on October 28.

Although the fight will be an official bout, organisers have revealed that Fury’s WBC title will not be on the line.

TYSON FURY blew a bold boxing fan away like a sandcastle – when the bantering beach-goer claimed Anthony Joshua would beat him.

The Gypsy King‘s witty whiplash of a comeback reduced his cheeky troll to toast on the coast in a clip from Netflix show At Home With the Furys.

The man knew he was pushing his luck in the fun encounter but still repeated his suggestion that Fury would lose his Brit rival[/caption]

Both men were grinning afterwards as Fury shows why his TV show is a hit[/caption]

Heavyweight legend Fury, 35, was sitting peacefully, wearing dark glasses and a cap, when a middle-aged man approached him.

The tentative fight enthusiast tried to wrong-foot the ring-master with a gentle opener: “Tyson, nice to meet you.”

The undefeated champ replied just as pleasantly – before the real sparring began.

“Still think Joshua would beat you now,” said the man – before patting Fury on the back and backing off grinning.

The ex-unified title king reacted with a glare and a stunned: “Sorry?”

And when the chap repeated his suggestion about Fury’s British rival AJ, the Gypsy King hit back: “I think anyone on this beach could beat you.”

Fury, who lives by the sea in Morecambe, clearly turns his cap into a “diss me quick” hat when he encounters such brave souls on home sand.

But both men smiled broadly as they parted.

Fury’s reality TV series took just 48 hours to make the top 10 list of Netflix’s most-watched shows.

But he’s missing out on more millions in the bank by rejecting the chance to film two more seasons.

The show follows Fury, wife Paris, 32, and their six children.

His brother Tommy Fury and the 24-year-old’s fiancée Molly-Mae Hague also feature at times.

OLEKSANDR USYK will defend his world heavyweight titles against Britain’s Daniel Dubois in Poland on Saturday night.

The Ukrainian, 36, has not fought since he beat Anthony Joshua for a second time in their rematch in Saudi Arabia 12 months ago.

But he is still the overwhelming favourite heading into the intriguing dust-up.

Dubois, 25, has won his last four fights since losing to Joe Joyce in 2020.

However, none of those victories came against opponents anywhere near the calibre of Usyk.

The Olympic gold medallist collected all the belts in the cruiserweight division with some sensational wins over the likes of Mairis Briedis and Murat Gassiev.

He then beat Tony Bellew to defend his titles and proceeded to move up to heavyweight.

Wins over Chaz Witherspoon and Derek Chisora followed, before two victories over Joshua solidified him as one of the best fighters of his generation.

But how much are Usyk and Dubois earning for the clash?

Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois: How to watch huge fight, stream info, UK ring-walk time

How much will Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois get paid?

There is currently no confirmed sums for how much they will get paid for the fight.

However, the WBA split for a mandatory defence means that Usyk will receive 75 per cent of the purse – with Dubois picking up the remaining 25 per cent.

Usyk is expected to rake in £4.9million, significantly less than the £42m he earned from the Joshua rematch.

But it will still be just his fourth seven-figure sum.

Meanwhile, Dubois is set to be paid £1.6m on Saturday night – whether he produces the colossal upset or not.

That is just shy of his career-high purse – which was the £1.75m he received when he lost to Joyce three years ago.

DILLON DANIS takes on Logan Paul later this year in his boxing debut, but he’s more notorious for his life outside of boxing.

The grappler controversially had a scrap with Conor McGregor’s rival Khabib Nurmagomedov, has an MMA career of his own, and is a well-known entity in the influencer combat sports world.

But what else do we know about him?

Who is Dillon Danis?

Dillon Danis was born on August 22, 1993 in New Jersey.

The 30-year-old started training ji jitsu at age 15 and is a black belt under Marcelo Garcia, as part of a generation of grapplers produced by the respected Alliance New York Academy.

In 2016, he was invited to become a coach and main grappling training partner of Conor McGregor ahead of the Notorious’ match against Nate Diaz, for UFC 202.

And he has been friends with McGregor since.

As an MMA fighter he has a record of 2-0, winning both by submission.

But he is set to make his boxing debut later this year in a fight against Logan Paul.

When is Danis vs Paul?

Danis will face Paul on the undercard of KSI vs Tommy Fury on Saturday, October 14.

The fight will take place at the AO Arena in Manchester.

You can live stream the action from the DAZN app, where the fight is available on PPV.

What happened at UFC 229 in 2018?

Khabib jumped out of the Octagon after making McGregor tap, and started brawling with members of the crowd, seemingly targeting Danis.

One of his team then sucker-punched McGregor, and all hell broke loose  in the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas.

OLEKSANDR USYK takes on Daniel Dubois this weekend – and his wife Yekaterina will be cheering him on in his corner.

The Ukrainian has his mind set on the highly-anticipated heavyweight clash with British sensation Dubois.

Oleksandr Usyk’s wife Kateryna have been married since 2009[/caption]

And Usyk will be eager to make his long-term partner proud yet again by defending his titles in Wroclaw, Poland, just down the road from the Ukraine border.

But who is the driving force behind Oleksandr Usyk’s success story?

Who is Oleksandr Usyk’s wife Yekaterina?

Yekaterina, commonly known as Kateryna has decided to keep her personal life mostly private.

But the celebrity spouse is popular in her birth country of Ukraine.

It has been claimed that Yekaterina had been close to Oleksandr Usyk for several years before becoming Mrs. Uysk in 2009 and she now runs the foundation which belongs to the heavyweight champ.

Kateryna makes rare appearances on social media, but she opened up on her husband’s physical state during the Russian war on Ukraine.

Kateryna told PravdaTUT: “Sasha lost 10 kilograms in a week of the war. He was so horrified, in such shock, he was so torn apart.”

Do Oleksandr Usyk and his wife Yekaterina have children together?

The long-term lovebirds have three children together – Kyrylo, Mykhalio and Yelizaveta.

Usyk and his young family had to flee their home in Vorzel, Bucha when the area was overrun by Vladimir Putin’s troops.

Sadly, it meant many of Usyk’s possessions were burned to the ground and he had to focus on getting his family to safety before heading to the front line.

Usyk said: “My children are asking: ‘Daddy, why do they want to kill us?’ I don’t know how to answer that.

“My family are not in Ukraine now but a lot of people I know and a lot of my close friends are inside the country. 

“I am in touch with them every day, I am asking them for updates.

“I didn’t want to leave the country. I want to live there, still. Straight after the fight I will go back to Ukraine.”

When is Usyk vs Dubois?

LOGAN PAUL has done his best to wind up Dillon Danis by gifting him a crude cake – and then throwing it straight at him.

Paul and Danis were both present for their press conference ahead of their co-headline fight in October.

Danis wasn’t happy about the cake being thrown and a brawl broke out during the press conference[/caption]

The pair have been trading blows already online with Danis taking aim at Paul’s fiancée Nina Agdal.

But it was the WWE star’s turn to rile up his opponent as they both sat down for the first time ahead of their bout.

Paul gifted the MMA fighter a birthday cake that was shaped like Danis knocked out on the floor after a fight.

Danis, who turned 30 on the day of the press conference, didn’t seem too upset about the cake at first.

But that all changed when Paul decided to launch the cake’s head at him.

The flying treat sent the press conference into a frenzy with both fighters and their teams getting into a brawl in front of the cameras.

And that wasn’t even the craziest part of the press conference with John Fury, dad of co-headliner Tommy Fury, having a meltdown.

The 59-year-old called himself “a machine” before launching a foul -mouthed rampage that saw him kick over chairs and flip tables.

Paul and Danis will face off on October 14 at AO Arena alongside KSI and Fury.

JOHN FURY has taken to social media to issue a grovelling apology – but it’s not for wrecking his son Tommy’s press conference with KSI.

The infamous boxing dad flipped out during the presser ahead of Tommy’s headline fight in October.

The 59-year-old lost his head and began to knock over chairs and tables whilst calling himself “a machine.”

He was angered by trash talk between fighters Logan Paul and Dillon Danis and went into a meltdown.

But despite his crazy outburst causing the press conference to be completely ruined, he has only apologised online for swearing.

In a video on X (formerly Twitter) he said: “I want to make a quick apology for my inappropriate language yesterday

“It’s unacceptable and I accept that, but emotions run high and get involved.

John apologised for his language in a video online[/caption]

“And it is the fight game – It was pandemonium. But let me sincerely apologise for my outburst of language.”

He went on to add: “I’ll try and improve, but this is John Fury, this is my character.

“This is who I am, I’m a real person. I’m not a fake person. Nothing is scripted, it just happens when it happens.”

He apologised for his language SEVEN times during his video, but at no point mentioned throwing around tables or destroying the press conference.

Tommy didn’t seem too upset at his dad’s actions with the 24-year-old pointing towards red wine as the reason for John’s crazy show.

He said: “I didn’t see that coming. It must have been the red wine that must’ve hit him and then he just got into it.

“But, at the end of the day it’s all fun and games, hyping up the fight, so it was good, I enjoyed it.”

Tommy faces KSI in October as the 9-0 boxer looks to beat the YouTuber the same way he did with Jake Paul back in February.

The pair share the spotlight with Logan and Danis who will fight that night on as co-headliners.

WITH savage trash talk, flipped tables and a narrowly avoided mass brawl, it seemed more like a scene from WWE than boxing.

It all kicked off at the pre-fight press conference for Tommy Fury vs KSI, when the former’s dad John, 59, lashed out on stage.

Tables were thrown over and a brawl nearly broke out in shocking scenes[/caption]

The furious ex-fighter told YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI that he was “full of s***” after mocking the Fury family’s sporting legacy.

Grabbing his crotch, John yelled: “Shut up motherf*****, come fight me now instead of talking all this bulls***.”

Within seconds, John had knocked over multiple tables and security were pulling the groups apart before anyone traded blows.

It’s certainly a case of Fury by name, fury by nature when it comes to John – who is also the father of heavyweight champion Tyson – as his life has been dominated by violence.

From brutal childhood scraps to a £100,000 bare-knuckle fight and a prison stint for blinding a rival, we reveal details about his shocking life.

Bare-knuckle brawls aged 5

John was born to a family of Irish travellers, who lived in Tuam, Galway, before relocating to Manchester due to a lack of jobs.

“I’m a travelling man. I was born in a caravan,” he declares in the family’s new Netflix show, At Home With The Furys.

“Gimme me caravan, gimme me dog, gimme me family and let me get in the middle of that field where I belong.”

By the age of five, he had his first fight with a “much older” boy that left him “ripped to pieces” and “wet through with blood”.

John Fury spent eight years as a professional boxer until 1995[/caption]

In 2021, he told the Disruptors With Rob Moore podcast: “I remember it because I was entangled in barbed wire…

“I got wrapped up in barbed wire and was ripped to pieces… I remember I thought, ‘Me mam’s going to kill me’ because I tore me jumper. 

“I was more scared of me mam because I ripped me clothes on barbed wire and I was wet through with blood.”

John believes his exposure to fighting at such an early age stemmed from growing up “rough on tough” and being descended from bare-knuckle fighters.

He explained: “You had to be a fighter just to get up in the morning… if you didn’t have three fights that week [in] the crowds of people that we grew up… it wasn’t the norm.

“It was sort of forced on us and it had to be in our DNA to survive basically, but that’s what cards were dealt and we played them.”

‘Dangerous’ boxing career

John’s professional boxing career began in 1987 and spanned eight years – ending with eight wins, four losses, and one draw.

Fighting was never something he planned but as a young father at 18, he felt he had no choice while trying to keep his family afloat.

“In our culture, you’ve got to provide for yourself. You can’t go back to your mother or your father and say lend me £20 or I’m a bit stuck today,” John recalled.

“They say, ‘You made your bed, you lay in it’ and I thought ‘I’ve got to get money how I can’. If I had a slack week, I’d call up the manager who was called ‘ever-ready Tommy.’”

John claims he started out as a “journeyman” and was paid up to £300 a time for amateur matches.

He recalls: “I was never supposed to win any of them… but I kept winning and in those days winning used to cost me money.

“They only wanted to book you to make a prospect look better. I was there to lose but every time I got in there with a prospect I won because I had this fire inside of me.” 

Despite this natural fighting talent, John was knocked out three times – including by future WBO champion Henry Akinwande – in his professional career.

He attributes his four losses to “never [being] 100 per cent fit”, working a full-time job and not having the luxury of having training camps, a dietician, or any professional training.

John said: “I was working all day, doing my daily duties, which was hard work. It was manual labour. 

“I’d finish at 5 o’clock, have me tea… put me feet up and then drive 50-100 miles to the venue in an old scrap car, fight, get me money and come home.”

By 1995, John called time on his boxing career because he believed it was “too dangerous” and there was no care for fighters’ health. 

£100k bare-knuckle clash

Inside the ring wasn’t the only place where John was trading blows with opponents.

He claims to have had “more than 100” fights in total during his life and insisted he had “never lost outside the ring”.

John believes boxing is ‘dangerous’ and tried to dissuade his sons from fighting[/caption]

That included a bare-knuckle fight for which he was paid a whopping £100,000.

John said: “We do a lot of things in life for money don’t we because our backs are against the wall, if you can get money quick and sharp you’re going to do it.”

He believes he used to “fight harder” outside the ring, describing himself as “a bit of a dangerous character”.

John added: “Outside you’ve got everything and I make use of everything, me feet, elbows, head, teeth you name it… I’d make use of it.”

That was proven true in 2011 when he was sentenced to 11 years in prison for gouging a rival’s eye out during a fight at a car auction.

It followed a 12-year feud between John and his victim Oathie Sykes, which reportedly started when they clashed over a bottle of beer in Cyprus back in 1999.

Recalling the 2011 attack, Oathie told the court: “It was like he was trying to pull his finger into my brains through my socket… I was screaming, ‘Please stop, you’re hurting me.’

“After that, he tried to take my other eye – he tried to blind me, sir. Not once, he tried to blind me twice.”

John served four years before being released in February 2015.

No weddings, funerals & booze

Knowing any trouble with the law could lead to a hefty prison sentence, John says he is “a recluse” and avoids certain social situations.

He said: “There’s no bail for John Fury. None… When I go again it’s for life, I’ve been told that straight. I’m a one-strike lifer.”

As a result, John avoids funerals, weddings, social nights and anywhere with “people and drink”.

He insists his life is “not very entertaining” – consisting of daily one-hour runs, TV, day-to-day jobs and “a bit of wheeling and dealing”.

John’s main hobby is tinkering with caravans and classic cars from the early 1900s to the 1970s – which he does to recall old memories.

He says: “I can reflect and get enjoyment because when I see [the cars] I can see my family… I’m the only living relative now apart from me brother and me and him are estranged.”

John is skeptical of those around Tommy and Tyson Fury and says he prefers to be alone than risk having ‘fake’ friends[/caption]

John admits he doesn’t have many friends and is skeptical of outsiders including supposed pals of Tyson and Tommy since their boxing success.

He says: “I can smell a fake from 30ft away… I’d rather be on me own.

“When you’ve got a friend when you’re poor and a nobody you’ve got a friend… new bushes don’t sweep clean with me.”

Mental health struggles

Like his son Tyson, John has had struggles with his mental health and admits that if he has two good days a week then he is happy. 

The 59-year-old is plagued by dark thoughts including his belief that “everyone’s me enemy, the world’s against me and it’s all been a waste of time”.

He overcomes these struggles by tiring himself out with exercise and talking to like-minded people “who don’t look at you like a raving madman”.

But even with these mindful practices, John is aware that he has a very short temper and is easily triggered – especially when “someone insults me or my family”.

John said: “All of a sudden, I change into somebody else, probably a monster, and I don’t like that character that I change into but I can’t help it.

“If someone insults me or my family, I instantly think, ‘I can’t take that’ and all of a sudden violence comes to my head, violent thoughts and next thing it’s off.

“Would I let anyone disrespect me? No. I don’t care if it costs me my life, they could give me 125 years. If someone disrespects John I’ll bring out a breakfast.”

TYSON FURY is one of the greatest heavyweights of his era in boxing.

The Gyspy King is a two-time world champion and the current holder of the WBC title in boxing‘s glamour division.

But his life and career has often been a controversial one, and during his reign at the top of the heavyweight division, Fury has chosen to retire on numerous occasions.

Most famously, Fury retired after he conquered Wladimir Klitschko to win the world heavyweight titles in 2015.

But while he was away from the sport, his life spiralled as he suffered with mental health problems, as well as alcohol and drug addiction.

Then after his win over Dillian Whyte in 2022, Fury retired again before deciding to make a comeback against Derek Chisora months later.

Is Tyson Fury really retired?

No, Fury is not retired, despite multiple claims he has in his recent documentary ‘At Home with the Furys’.

Fury has an upcoming fight with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.

Though he retired following the Whyte fight in April 2022, he was back in the ring by December and stated his still had time on his side.

He said: “I thought to myself ‘I’ve still got some youth left in me so I may as well take advantage of it’.

“Boxing is something that I’ve loved since a little kid, so when it really felt like it was gone, I felt like a massive part of me was taken away that I wasn’t ready for in that moment, mentally and physically.”

And he’s not letting up as he prepares for Ngannou on October 14 in Saudi Arabia.

Fury may still also one day have fights with Oleksandr Usyk, the holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF belts, and Anthony Joshua.

Negotiations for both of those fights to happen have raged on for months and years, with neither yet to come to fruition.

But don’t be surprised if we eventually see them before Fury actually does retire for real.

TOMMY FURY has revealed that his dad John’s outburst during the press conference with KSI was down to him having some “red wine”.

The Love Island star’s dad, 59, saw red as he called himself “a machine” during an on-stage meltdown in which he threw a table and chairs on Tuesday.

And it surprised his son Tommy[/caption]

After the chaos ended, Tommy, 24, was asked if John‘s antics were planned.

He insisted that he was caught off guard by his dad but did admit that it was all “fun and games” and himself put it down to some red wine.

Tommy said: “No, definitely not, I didn’t see that coming.

“It must have been the red wine that must’ve hit him and then he just got into it.

“But, at the end of the day it’s all fun and games, hyping up the fight, so it was good, I enjoyed it.”

Security staff were quick to intervene as the enraged Fury slammed his fists on the table before kicking it in the air.

As the dust settled, Tommy and KSI returned to the stage for a face-off which led to the YouTuber-turned-boxer shoving his opponent.

However, Tommy was not concerned about the push claiming that KSI was “powerless”.

He said: “He gave me a little push. As everyone saw on camera and it didn’t do anything, he’s powerless.

“His time is running out and he knows that after today and he knows what’s going to happen to him.”

Tommy also argued that KSI will be an easier opponent for him than his last clash which came against Jake Paul.

He won the fight against the social media star by split decision.

Tommy added: “I don’t think KSI can tie Jake Paul’s boots up to be honest.

“I’ve seen him there up close and personal and he’s nothing more than a middleweight.

“He’s two weight divisions below me and God help him on the night.

“He won’t be able to get out of the first round.”

CHRIS TARRANT has been left baffled by Tyson Fury’s claims in his new Netflix series.

Fury revealed in his show At Home with the Furys that he once had a bust-up with the TV legend in a hotel in Scotland.

The Gyspsy King was discussing his previous stay at famous Scottish hotel Gleneagles with his wife Paris.

And that was when he made the outlandish claim that he had come to blows with Tarrant.

The two-time heavyweight champion said: “I had a big row with Chris Tarrant last time I was there.”

The surprising story left fans shocked, but nobody seemed more taken aback than Tarrant himself.

The former Who Wants to be a Millionaire host has since rubbished the claims.

Speaking to the Mail Online he even said the pair had never met despite Fury’s crazy statement.

The 76-year-old said: “It is complete nonsense! I’ve never even met him.

“My wife and I got into a crowded lift with Tyson in it. We didn’t even speak and I got out at the next floor.

“He is one of the greatest boxers I’ve ever seen, why on earth would I have a row with him? This is rubbish.”

She was sporting a pair of white trousers with a matching white tube top and blocked out the city lights with her sunglasses.

The 23-year-old captioned the photo: “Business on the boat.”

And despite the impressive background in the photo it was Apollonia that her fans were taken aback by with many rushing to the comments section to shower her with compliments.

One wrote: “Beyond stunning Apollonia.”

Whilst a second added: “So gorgeous.”

Another fan commented: “Just as cute as ever.”

Apollonia is currently away in New York after recent holidays to Santorini and Miami.

And she suffered another wardrobe malfunction in another picture from the Big Apple, having to cover herself in the snap with a marker pen.

She is regularly travelling the globe and keeps her impressive 565,000 followers updated with her trips.

The Leeds lass rose to fame as a ring girl during a misfits boxing event and had gone on to make a name for herself as a social media influencer.

SAVANNAH MARSHALL has become the latest women’s boxing star to make a switch to MMA.

The current undisputed super-middleweight world champion has signed with the Professional Fighters League.

She said: “I am thrilled to begin my journey in MMA with The Professional Fighters League.

“I am proud to join the most talented female combat sports athletes in the world and continue to raise the profile of women in sports through PFLW.”

The PFL is a seasonal format, consisting of qualifying and knockout stages.

Stars in each weight have two regular season bouts where points are earned per method of victory.

From there, the top four progress into the win-or-go-home semis and final stages where a title belt and $1million cheque is at stake.

Marshall, 32, last won in July beating Franchon Crews-Dezurn, 36, to win all four 168lb titles.

And she is expected to make her MMA debut in 2024 after becoming the most recent women’s boxer to make the cross over.

The PFL have added boxing legend Amanda Serrano, 34, to their roster while Claressa Shields, 28, was already signed.

MMA star Danis, 30, was in attendance at the media event as he prepares to take on internet sensation Logan Paul at the AO Arena on October 14.

The clash is taking place as the chief support to KSI’s fight with Tommy Fury.

And Tommy‘s dad, John, who is also the father of world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, produced some erratic behaviour at the presser.

As Danis and Paul exchanged words, John bizarrely called himself “a machine” and offered everyone on stage out for a fight.

He then flipped over his own table, kicked over KSI‘s, and started a brawl.

And his antics ended the back and forth between Danis and Paul, something the Bellator star was not happy about.

He tweeted: “I was totally dominating the press conference, especially when roasting KSI and Logan.

“John Fury’s cool, but he’s not the one stepping into the ring.

“The conference was just heating up, and I was absolutely owning it.

“Honestly, I’m pretty damn annoyed right now.”

Danis and Paul have also been locked in trash talk on social media, with the former mocking his opponent’s partner Nina Agdal.

Security staff were quick to intervene as an enraged Fury slammed his fists on the table before kicking it in the air.

Logan Paul and Dillon Danis, who are fighting on the same card, had been going back-and-forth with each other before Fury lost his cool.

Angered by their jabs at each other’s families and person lives, he stood up and fumed: “We are fighting men.”

After begging those on stage to stop and talk about the fight instead, he tossed a table and booted a chair off stage.

Fury then went a step further and offered everyone else at the press conference out for a fight.

“We are fighting men!” shouted the former boxer. “My son will fight him and I’ll fight anyone in the building.”

KSI could be seen looking visibly confused as Fury launched into his bizarre rant whilst pointing at the YouTube star.

He continued: “Let’s get the f***ing ball rolling. Get the cake and shove it up your a***hole, before I do it.

He followed that up by pushing two tables over and kicking the one in front of KSI.

Security staff could then be seen rushing in as KSI leapt to his feet and tried to approach Fury.

As the scuffle was contained, Paul stood on top of the only table still upright, appearing to hype up the crowd as chaos ensued around him.

DANIEL DUBOIS will look to cause one of the great heavyweight upsets when he takes on Oleksandr Usyk this weekend.

The Brit, 25, suffered the first professional defeat of his career three years ago when compatriot Joe Joyce earned a 10th round stoppage victory.

Since then, Dubois has put together a four-fight winning streak and obtained the WBA regular title.

But he remains a heavy underdog heading into the clash – which will take place at the Tarczynski Arena in Wroclaw, Poland on Saturday night.

That is because Dubois is coming up against an all-time great in Ukrainian Usyk, 36.

The former cruiserweight king was a decorated amateur, claiming gold at the 2012 Olympic Games.

He then turned pro and won a world title in just his 10th fight.

Usyk went on to become undisputed champion in the 200lb division, before he moved up to heavyweight and dethroned Anthony Joshua.

He defeated AJ again in their rematch last year, with this the first defence of his title since then.

But what are the two fighters’ career earnings heading into this heavyweight dust-up?

What is Oleksandr Usyk’s net worth?

Usyk’s last two fights were wins over Anthony Joshua[/caption]

Neither man’s net worth has been officially reported, but Usyk’s career earnings are estimated to be around the £60m mark.

The majority of that came in his last outing – the rematch with Joshua in Saudi Arabia – where he collected in the region of £42m.

He earned £15m from the first AJ fight – which took place in London – and £1.8m for the clash with Derek Chisora in 2020.

His purse for his heavyweight debut against Chaz Witherspoon was about £1m, but before that he had never received a seven-figure sum.

His highly-anticipated clash with Tony Bellew in 2018 saw him earn £750,000.

Before that, all of his purses were under the £400,000 mark.

He is expected to rake in £4.9m for the Dubois clash.

What is Daniel Dubois’ net worth?

Dubois’ career earnings are substantially less than Usyk’s[/caption]

Unlike Usyk, Dubois has only cracked the £1m mark for one of his fights so far.

That came in the all-British bout with Joyce in 2020.

As a result, his career earnings are only thought to be in the region of £5m.

He began earning six-figure sums when he took on Richard Lartey in April 2019.

A steady set of purses ranged between £100,000 and £500,000 prior to the Joyce fight – before he earned £1.75m for that blockbuster clash.

In the three years that have followed, he has pulled in a further £1.8m across four fights.

But now he is set to receive another life-changing cheque on Saturday.

Dubois will earn around £1.6m for the Usyk fight – making it his second-highest payday to date.

After Saturday night, Usyk and Dubois’ combined net worth will exceed £70m.

CHRIS EUBANK JR is fighting Liam Smith for the second time next month.

A hand injury to Smith delayed their grudge rematch that was supposed to take place in July.

Eubank Jr (32-3, 23 knockouts) is seeking revenge against Smith after a surprising outcome in their first fight.

Smith (33-3-1, 20 KOs) dominated the initial match and knocked out Eubank Jr in just four rounds.

The rematch between the two fighters was pushed back after Smith received medical advice regarding his hand injury.

Eubank Jr, who admitted he got complacent during his first defeat to Smith, is looking for revenge this time.

When is Smith vs Eubank 2?

• Smith’s rematch with Eubank Jr will take place on Saturday, September 2.
• The fight will be held at Manchester Arena in Manchester.
• The main card is set to start at 6 pm BST.

What has been said? 

“I think the thing that mostly needs to change is the mindset,” Eubank Jr told Seconds Out.

“Maybe I did underestimate him a little bit, maybe I did get a little bit too complacent at times, but I feel like the strategy was working. It just wasn’t meant to be on that particular night.”

“It’s just an old injury niggle flaring up but I want to take the time to let it heal up so that I can enter the ring at 100 per cent on fight night,” Smith said.

“Because a 100 per cent Liam Smith beats Chris Eubank Jr every day of the week and twice on Sunday.”

TYSON Fury and his family have enjoyed a luxurious staycation in a six-bedroom lodge with vitality pool.

On the new series At Home With The Furys the boxer went on a family trip to Cardiff.

Forest View Retreat is a luxurious lodge in the Welsh capital[/caption]

The accommodation sits on a three acres land in the idyllic village of Pontyclun[/caption]

Tyson spent quality time at the vitality pool with his children[/caption]

In the second episode of the reality show, the heavyweight boxing champion took his family form the £1.7million Morecambe mansion to the Welsh capital.

The Tyson’s spent a few days at the incredible Forest View Retreat lodge, located in Yinysmaerdy.

During the second episode, the boxer is seen spending quality time with his six children in the four-star cottage.

While they played at the swimming pool, Paris opened up about the reason her husband didn’t want to return to the ring.

She told the cameras:  “I think Tyson is enjoying that little bit of family time.

“That was half the reason that he didn’t want to box again, he didn’t want to keep leaving us. Just make the most of it and make these moments count.”

The high-end accommodation sits on a three acres land in the idyllic village of Pontyclun, near the South Wales coast.

An with less than an hour drive away to the world renowned Brecon Beacons National Park.

As listed on Airbnb, the house has a total of 6 bedrooms and a kitchen with a dining room big enough to host 18 people.

The outdoor vitality pool has air and water jet features – with a temperature that always remains at 38 degrees regardless of the cold weather.

Forest View Retreat owner David Edwards told WalesOnline: “No one has put a vitality pool in self-catering [accommodation] in south Wales.

“The inspiration [for the design and ethos] is about doing things which no else is doing. That’s what I do. I build what people think I won’t do, but I actually do it.”

The family is also seen walking around the large wooden cabana with breathtaking panoramic views of the Welsh mountains.

The house has a rustic interior with a Mediterranean touch inspired by Mallorca – where homeowner David Edwards spent his holidays.

The property gets over hundreds of enquiries from families looking for a weekend stay like the Tyson’s

The house is on the renting site for an eye-watering sum of £600 per night.

It comes as the boxer wanted to cancel his new Netflix series half way through filming.

Tyson Fury found managing the cameras and his kids a challenge, his wife said.

Previously, on This Morning, the Gypsy King also revealed the only thing that was out of bounds while filming his new family reality show.

Chatting to hosts Josie Gibson and Steve Jones via video link from their £1.7m Morecambe mansion, they were asked if they held anything back on the show.

Paris replied: “At the start of the show we said ‘just come in and take the good, the bad and the ugly’.

“I think it comes out better because you’ve got the highs and the lows, the good and the bad. We’re kind of open book people.”

But Tyson cut in: “Well it wasn’t all access – I wanted them to film me in the shower, but they didn’t.”

Smiling, his wife added: “Yes. We did declare that was off limits. The bathrooms were off limits.”

KSI had to tell Kate Garraway to “calm down” while punching Richard Madeley during a fun appearance on Good Morning Britain.

The social media star is promoting his upcoming fight with Tommy Fury, with the duo set to appear at a Wembley Arena press conference later today.

KSI began his promotional day by joining Garraway and Madeley on the GMB sofa.

The 30-year-old initially sat down to discuss his global fame, appeal to young people and how he keeps his private life under wraps.

He then stood up to give Garraway a punching demonstration, much to the 56-year-old’s delight.

KSI helped Madeley attach pads to his hands before Garraway, whose excited 14-year-old son William was watching on, started throwing windmill punches towards Madeley.

As the 67-year-old held his hand out, Garraway threw her weight behind a right hook.

A delighted KSI laughed as he exclaimed “calm down!”

He then shouted: “You’re going to knock his head off!”

Garraway asked: “Me or Tommy Fury?”

KSI surprisingly didn’t take the opportunity to mock his upcoming opponent, however, saying the former Love Islander was the better puncher.

YouTuber KSI had already touched on his bout with Fury, saying: “This is a proper fight. Me and him are going at it.”

He also commented on the extraordinary demand for his range of Prime drinks launched with Logan Paul.

Asked if the shortages of Prime upon its launch were a marketing ploy, he revealed: “I wish! We tried to make enough but the demand was just too high.”

Paul, 28, is also set to be on the October 14 card at AO Arena in Manchester.

The WWE star is set to fight Dillon Danis, who previously pulled out of a scheduled bout with KSI.

LOGAN Paul has shown off his jacked physique less than two months ahead of his bout with Dillon Danis.

And in preparation for the highly anticipated fight, the 28-year-old YouTuber turned WWE star has been training with another social media superstar.

Paul was on hand in Dallas, Texas to watch his brother Jake beat Nate Diaz in his most recent bout[/caption]

MrBeast (L) and Paul (R) offered a glimpse into their recent training session[/caption]

Paul and MrBeast, whose real name is James Donaldson, aren’t the most expected of sparring duos, but it appears this is exactly what they’ve become.

The two posed for photos which were subsequently shared on their X – formerly known as Twitter – profiles.

Donning a bright blue pair of gloves and equally eye-catching pink shorts, Paul looked absolutely ripped in the snaps.

“Training for the @elonmusk vs Zuckerberg undercard,” MrBeast jokingly captioned his post.

While Paul simply said: “Good rounds with @MrBeast.”

The shots had one fan saying: “If Logan fought like he does in WWE, MrBeast is not waking up for 2 days.”

As one added: “Not gonna lie.. I kind of want to see Jimmy in a boxing match now.”

And Paul’s physique has drawn plenty of attention recently, with one Instagram follower calling him a “Beast!!” following his most recent post.

A second said: “Bro ain’t even start camp yet but he in peak physical condition.”

While Paul was also labeled “Absolutely ripped” and “Cut like Hercules.”

To date, Paul has gone 0-2-1 as a boxer, with his most recent bout having come in 2021 when he took on Floyd Mayweather Jr. in an exhibition fight.

His return to the ring follows a recent win at the WWE’s SummerSlam over Ricochet in Detroit, Michigan.

Paul and Danis are set to face off at the AO Arena in Manchester, United Kingdom on October 14.

Also confirmed for the Prime card is fellow YouTuber KSI who will take on Tommy Fury.

TYSON FURY is set to box one of the biggest names in mixed martial arts.

But when will Fury’s next fight take place and what is his boxing record? Here’s everything you need to know.

Tyson Fury’s next fight is against Francis Ngannou[/caption]

When is Tyson Fury’s next fight?

Tyson Fury’s next fight is against Francis Ngannou on Saturday, October 28, 2023.

The Gypsy King will face his mixed martial arts rival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in a bout to decide who takes on Mike Tyson’s old moniker of the Baddest Man on the Planet.

Ngannou’s Saudi showdown with Fury will be a ten-round affair, although the Brit’s WBC heavyweight title won’t be on the line.

The bout will happen in a standard boxing ring – not the metal cage Ngannou made his name in with the UFC.

Discussing the highly-anticipated event, Fury said: ”As soon as that bell goes, it’ll be bombs away!

”This guy is supposed to be the hardest puncher in the world, but let’s see how he reacts when he gets hit by the Big GK.

“I can’t wait to get back out there under the lights. I’m looking forward to showing the world that The Gypsy King is the greatest fighter of his generation in an epic battle with another master of his craft.

“Francis looked tough when he jumped in the ring after the Whyte fight, but there is no one tougher than me, and you’ll all see that in devastating fashion on October 28.”

Also commenting on the upcoming fight, Ngannou said: “I’ve been waiting to meet Tyson in the ring for the past three years.

“My dream was always to box, and to box the best.

“After becoming the undisputed MMA Heavyweight Champion, this is my opportunity to make that dream come true and cement my position as the baddest man on the planet…

“All I will say to Tyson for now is he better dance in that ring because if I touch him, he’s going to sleep.”

What is Tyson Fury’s boxing record?

Tyson Fury has a 33-0-1 record and has garnered a serious reputation amongst the boxing community.

Following a controversial draw in 2018, The Gypsy King completed a sensational comeback in the sport when he battered Deontay Wilder in their rematch to win the WBC world title in 2020.

It handed the American his first professional defeat, and also maintained Fury’s own unbeaten record, before the Brit went on to stop Wilder in the 11th round of their thrilling trilogy bout in 2021.

He has since gone to beat Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora.

PRINCE NASEEM HAMED’S son Aadam will make his professional boxing bow on the Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois undercard.

The two heavyweight boxers face off on August 26 in Wroclaw, Poland.

He has been training to get himself in shape for the bout[/caption]

But before Usyk attempts to defend his unified WBA, IBF and WBO belts, Aadam will have the attention of the crowd.

Aadam, 23, will take to the ring but it is not yet known who he is facing or at what weight category he will compete in.

Former featherweight world champion Prince Naseem believes his youngest son is a “future star”.

Aadam has been training at McCracken’s Gym in Birmingham in preparation for his debut.

The gym is also used by former Watford and Birmingham star Troy Deeney.

He often uploads videos and pictures of his progress during training to his Instagram account.

The posts include showing off his ripped body or his speed during sparring sessions.

He has built up an impressive following of over 112k followers on his Instagram page.

Speaking ahead of his debut he said: “It is an amazing opportunity for my debut, I am super excited and thank you to everyone that has come out and for the support.

“I am really looking forward to getting out there and showcasing my skills.

“I am really looking forward to getting out there and showcasing my skills.

“I have been training for a long time and the only question I have been getting asked is ‘when are you turning pro?’ or ‘are you going to actually fight?’

He has 112k followers on Instagram[/caption]

“And August 26 you are going to see that.”

Frank Warren promoted Prince Naseem during his heyday and he has landed his son the opportunity with him also working with Dubois.

Aadam’s father Prince Naseem has also spoken ahead of the event and is “confident” in his son’s “abilities”.

He said: “We have been given an amazing opportunity for Aadam to be the co-main event.

His dad believes in his ‘abilities’[/caption]

“I’m a very, very proud father. I have always been confident in myself and in the abilities of my son.

“I’m looking forward to Aadam climbing through the ropes and not flipping himself over them ropes and just basically showing how good he is.

“He is a future star in boxing, and I truly believe that, God willing.”

IT’S FAIR to say that the Fury family have cemented themselves in boxing history.

Tyson Fury has boxed in front of millions in stadiums and for those watching at home, but one person who has never watched one of his matches is his own mum, Amber.

Tyson Fury’s mum hasn’t been to see any of his matches[/caption]

Who is Tyson Fury’s mum Amber?

Amber Fury is mum to Heavyweight world champ Tyson Fury, whose father is John Fury.

Unlike her famous family, she has remained completely out of the spotlight and there are no photos of her.

Amber has also never been to watch one of son’s fights and, according to Fury, is not interested in his world heavyweight belts, with her only concern being he is “healthy and happy”.

Fury told the Telegraph: “She has never been to one of my fights, amateur or pro, and never been in the public eye at all. 

“My mam doesn’t care if I’m world champion or not, as long as I’m healthy and happy. 

“You could give my mother that table full of £50 notes and diamonds and it wouldn’t change who she is, ever.”

Fury also revealed in his memoir Behind The Mask, that his mum is not fully aware of his superstardom.

And she was puzzled when so many fans asked for pictures during a shopping trip following his 2018 draw with Deontay Wilder.

Fury famously went on to beat Wilder in the 2020 rematch, before winning again in their 2021 trilogy battle.

He wrote: “To be honest, my mum doesn’t fully understand what I have achieved as a boxer.

“I took her out shopping one time after the Wilder fight and I was being stopped for photographs and autographs everywhere I went in Manchester and she couldn’t understand it.

“She actually said, ‘Hey, son, how do you know so many people?’

“I had to explain to her that I was the heavyweight champion of the world and a lot of people had watched me and supported me. That was actually very special.”

How many children does Amber have?

During her marriage to John Fury, Amber had four children.

Along with Tyson – who was named after the boxing legend Mike Tyson – they had two more sons, Shane and Hugh.

Their daughter, Ramona, tragically passed away months after birth.

After they split, Amber’s ex-husband John went onto marry his second wife Chantal.

Together they had two sons – which includes Love Island star and boxing champ Tommy Fury.

Who is Tyson Fury’s father John?

Born in Tuam, Galway, Ireland into a family of Irish Traveller heritage, John Fury is known by his nickname “Gypsy John” .

He is a former professional boxer and bare-knuckle fighter, and patriarch of the Fury family.

Fury Sr’s career spanned eight years – from 1987 until 1995 – and in total, he was involved in 13 bouts.

Dubois beat Kevin Lerena last year on the Tyson Fury vs Derek Chisora undercard, but didn’t look convincing at all.

The 25-year-old will have to be on his A-game here if he’s to pull of the upset.

And to go along with the intriguing main event, there’s a decent undercard to boot, with Prince Naseem Hamed’s son Aadam making his debut.

APOLLONIA LLEWELLYN was forced to edit a picture in order to cover up a wardrobe malfunction.

The stunning ring girl is now in New York after enjoying breaks in Miami and Santorini, Greece.

Apollonia, 23, posed for a snap in the big apple but before uploading it to her Instagram story had to draw a line over her top.

This was because the top was see-through and she wanted to keep her modesty.

She completed her daytime outfit with some baggy blue jeans and a New York Yankees baseball cap.

However, that was not on her mind in her next story as she showed off her busty side in a red top while out for dinner.

Apollonia was wearing a tight red top and white trousers while at the restaurant in which she enjoyed some fried mozzarella.

And the food was clearly up to her expectations as she wrote: “Mozarella has my heart”.

The Misfits star has made quite the name for herself on social media – sharing sexy images with her 566,000 followers.

Recently, a post of Apollonia’s on Insta left nothing to the imagination and caused quite a stir.

She has also recently visited Santorini[/caption]

And kept fans up to date with her travels[/caption]

Rocking a barely-there Pretty Little Thing bikini, Apollonia showed off her amazing figure once more.

ANTHONY JOSHUA’s long-awaited showdown with Deontay Wilder is set to be finalised in the next “three weeks”.

Former two-time heavyweight champion Joshua began targeting a long-overdue grudge match with The Bronze Bomber before kicking off his career rebuild with a scrappy win over Jermaine Franklin in April.

AJ promoter Eddie Hearn expects them to be finalised in ‘two or three weeks’[/caption]

Talks over the lucrative Saudi showdown heated up before the Watford warrior’s brutal seventh-round KO of Robert Helenius earlier this month and have since continued.

And AJ promoter Eddie Hearn expects them to come to a head imminently, telling Fight Hub TV when asked for a timeline: “Two or three weeks.”

Matchroom Boxing chief Hearn added: “I’ve been to Saudi Arabia twice to negotiate this fight.

“I’ve had two meetings, three meetings in London.

“I’m not doing it for banter. My instructions from Anthony Joshua [are] ‘I want to fight Deontay Wilder.’

Joshua and Wilder, 33 and 37 respectively, were on a collision course in 2018 when they held all the heavyweight titles but the mouthwatering fight didn’t come to fruition.

Their long-overdue clash is currently being targeted for January, although Hearn admits AJ could be back in the ring in December should the fight fall through.

Hearn said: “If it doesn’t happen, I think he’ll (Joshua) fight in December.

“But I’m not spinning that fight. All of our efforts have been for that fight.

“Honestly I wouldn’t waste my time flying all around the world trying to pretend that that’s the fight we want.

“That is the fight we want.

“It’s a massive fight, massive money, and that is what I have been instructed to deliver for AJ.”

He added: “We are positive. Like I said, we are in. If it can be delivered, we are in.”

ANTHONY JOSHUA has been slammed for indulging in Conor McGregor’s Forged Stout after sending Robert Helenius into oblivion.

The Watford warrior breathed new life into his career with a brutal seventh-round knockout of the Nordic Nightmare at the O2 last weekend.

Carl Froch has slammed AJ for sipping the potentially ‘contaminated’ drink[/caption]

A jubilant McGregor was ringside for the fight and jumped in the squared circle moments after the KO to plough AJ with a cup of his fermented beer.

Joshua, 33, took an uncomfortable sip of the dark stout as McGregor presented it to his lips – a decision former unified super-middleweight champion Carl Froch believes was stupid.

The Cobra said on his Fighting with Froch podcast: “His nose was p***ing with blood, his mouth was all bleeding.

“As we saw when he jumped out of the ring and had a slurp on that nasty Irish stout that Conor McGregor shoved in his face.

“And all blood and snot and sweat went inside that pint.

“How unprofessional’s that? AJ jumps out the ring, bit disrespectful as well – Helenius is receiving medical attention and he jumps out the ring.

“Okay, fair play – go and see your dad, go and see your family.

“You’ve just won a fight, you were a bit nervous and there’s a lot of pressure on you – okay, fine.

“But don’t go over to Conor McGregor who’s trying to steal the show, making what’s probably a really expensive suit look really cheap because he just looks like a scruffy b****rd.

“Standing around at ringside, shouting and talking b***cks, trying to be centre of attention, shoves that nasty Irish stout in AJ’s face.

“He shouldn’t have drunk that stout because that stout could’ve been contaminated, you’ve gotta do a post-fight drugs test.

“Very unprofessional from Anthony Joshua.”

Froch believes AJ should’ve followed Brit rival Tyson Fury, who famously refused to drink bottles of water offered to him by strangers after his 2015 win over Wladimir Klitschko and his 2020 rematch with Deontay Wilder.

Victory over Helenius was Joshua’s second successive triumph since his back-to-back defeats to former pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk.

He’s set to return to action early next year for a long-overdue grudge match with former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder.

TERENCE CRAWFORD has accepted Canelo Alvarez’s demands for their potential mega fight.

The undisputed welterweight world champion has also insisted that he “doesn’t care about weight” as he eyes more glory.

Terence Crawford has accepted Canelo Alvarez’s demands[/caption]

Canelo defends his undisputed super middleweight belts against Jermell Charlo[/caption]

Crawford became the undisputed champion in a second division last month by stopping Errol Spence Jr. in the ninth round of their bout.

Now 40-0, the 35-year-old is looking to repeat the feat in a third division.

In order to do so, he is open to fighting the winner of Canelo’s fight against Jermell Charlo on September 30.

The pair are facing off in Las Vegas for Canelo’s super middleweight titles.

Charlo is set to be stripped of his super welterweight belts once the fight starts.

With that in mind, Crawford is now open to jumping up to 168lbs to fight the winner.

“So now I need to shift gears, because I know I wanted to fight Jermell, but if he loses to Canelo…” he told Joe Rogan.

“I always said man, that’s a big step, but for a person to go up three weight classes from 147 to 168, and to win and become undisputed, wow.

“What can they say? They can’t say nothing right now, but what can they say?

“Three-time undisputed champion and the smaller fighter that went up three weight divisions to conquer one of the baddest men that’s been doing it for probably longer than me.”

Bud has also backed himself for success at the higher weight class, adding: “I would definitely have to gain weight.

“I just believe in my abilities. Canelo’s not a big guy, he’s five-eight. He’s muscular, but as far as height, nah. That wouldn’t be nothing that… We’d have to see.

“I think it could happen. To be honest, I think that’s the biggest fight in boxing if he beats Charlo.

“I’m ready now. People think it’s all about weight, but I think it’s skill. I’ve got the power to make anybody respect me, I don’t care what your weight is.”

Despite Crawford teasing a mega fight against Canelo, Spence Jr. is keen on a rematch.

He revealed after his loss to Crawford that he plans to activate his rematch clause in time for them to fight again in December.

CARL FROCH believes Anthony Joshua “would get flattened” by the heavyweights of the 90s.

The boxing legend has given a damning assessment of the former world champion.

Froch has slammed Joshua after his win over Robert Helenius[/caption]

Joshua moved to 26-3 by beating Robert Helenius via seventh round knockout last Saturday.

His victory, the first by KO in three years, has set up a super-fight against Deontay Wilder, which is being eyed for January in Saudi Arabia.

Although Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn believes he can “comfortably” outbox the American, Froch is less convinced by AJ’s abilities in the ring.

He told talkSPORT: “When you see how ‘AJ’ lost to Andy Ruiz and then the back to back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, I just think the way in which he lost those fights, would you put him in there with an Evander Holyfield? Or Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis?

“I feel like the workrate and the ability to take punches was better back then. I don’t think that AJ belongs in that era of the 80s or 90s.

“I don’t think you would be able to say that he belongs in that era, based on the losses. He’d be in there and letting shots go, but he’d be getting flattened.”

Joshua’s win over Helenius came after the Finn had taken the bout on short notice.

Original opponent Dillian Whyte was ruled out after failing a drugs test less than two weeks before the fight.

Despite Froch’s comments, Wilder is open to facing Joshua according to his coach Malik Scott.

The former WBC heavyweight champion has also fought Helenius, knocking him out in the first round last October.

Joshua is confident ahead of the potential match-up, though, and has even broken down how he will beat Wilder.

TYSON FURY’S phenomenal body transformation before he fought Deontay Wilder was down to a diet of six meals a day – including a wholesome CURRY.

The WBC champ, 35, lost an incredible 10st before his first fight with the Bronze Bomber back in 2018.

Fury, who faces former UFC star Francis Ngannou in November, got in shape with his diet after snapping up UFC chef and Conor McGregor nutritionist George Lockhart.

And Lockhart even took to Instagram to reveal he was flying back to the UK to help Fury back in 2020.

Along with a picture of his British Airways ticket, he wrote: “Here we go again!!!! #tysonfury #lockhartandleith #cookingforthechamp #ufc #weightcut #takingover”

Naturally-gifted 6ft 9in Fury has used to appear as though he played fast and loose with the science of the sport.

Friend and camp manager Timothy Allcock was also his personal cook ahead of his first fight against Wilder in December 2018 and peanut butter chicken was on the menu almost every night.

Fighting man Fury showed little interest in the diet fads and micro meals that come in and out of fashion among fighters and celebrities.

But he has handed over the pots and pans to former US marine and MMA fighter Lockhart to get in shape – and stay there.

Lockhart makes salmon cakes with spicy jalapenos, coriander and Greek yogurt dressing for Fury.

The expert cook even managed to make brussel sprouts look appetising in one social media post.

Fury’s tastebuds would have been left tingling by Sriracha honey salmon laid out on a bed of quinoa and Greek rice and skewered chicken with tzatziki sauce was probably a big hit for the fighter.

Team Fury were purring over a dish of strawberry and mango salsa with tomato and cilantro rice and chilli bean shrimp patty.

And the once 28st food lover was allowed to pig out on a stunning pork dish of apple and cranberry stuffed loin with butternut squash, quinoa, walnuts, and spinach and topped with a citrus avocado vinaigrette.

With Fury’s intense training leading to a calorie deficit, he would have been boosted by a meaty serving of dijon maple syrup seared wild salmon with rosemary, garlic, roasted sweet potatoes, and tomato, spinach and bean chilli.

Lockhart even manages to make cauliflower appetising by jazzing it up with hummus patties with cilantro lime shrimp and rice, with macadamia nut, avocado, cilantro, lime sauce.

And Fury might be able to deal with his next opponent a little easier after scoffing a healthy version of sausages.

The Morecambe-based man had apple and chicken sausage with sweet potatoes, spinach quinoa, cooked in chicken broth with a side of baked kale chips and avocado.

Even Fury’s favourite, a curry, makes the list, with Lockhart keen to make sure the boxer gets his red meat intake just right.

TYSON FURY is back in the ring THIS SATURDAY as he takes on Derek Chisora in an all-British affair for the third time.

The Brit beat Dillian Whyte in his last clash at Wembley Stadium before retiring… and coming out of retirement, for his clash with Del Boy.

Tyson Fury remains WBC heavyweight championAnd expect more colour and fireworks for Fury’s return to the UK when he fights Chisora at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

What is Tyson Fury’s net worth?

Tyson Fury’s net worth following his fight against Whyte was estimated at around £130MILLION.

That is on top of his three fights against Deontay Wilder, in which Fury accumulated most of his wealth. The third fight landed him around £22m.

The Gypsy King also made a cool £12m from his single WWE appearance, when he was victorious over Braun Strowman.

And this figure will have increased significantly following his second win over the man from Alabama.

Fury has so much money that he’s even thinking about buying Morecambe Football Club.

The 6ft 9in behemoth lives close to Morecambe Bay and spoke about the chance to get his local club from their position at the bottom of League One, to all the way up in the Premier League.

“I’m thinking about buying Morecambe Football Club, they’re in League One at the moment,” he said at the news conference for Fury vs Chisora.

“So I was thinking I invest X amount of millions in them.

“Yeah, basically throw it at them and keep them going up.

“I’ve been offered to buy Morecambe Football Club.

“I own all the training facilities anyway and the training gym. So who knows? You might be looking at a football club owner.”

How much did Fury earn from beating Wilder?

The purse for the Fury vs Wilder trilogy bout was reportedly split 60/40 in Fury’s favour.

The Gypsy King was expected to earn a guaranteed £22m plus 60 per cent of the pay per view revenue.

Wilder was set to earn a guaranteed £15m plus 40 per cent of the PPV take.

In their last fight, there was a reported purse of £3.67m, with both fighters ultimately taking home around £18.36m once PPV revenue was added.

How much did Fury earn from his fight against Whyte?

Fury made at least £25m from his Wembley fight against Dillian Whyte.

That figure would’ve risen after PPV sales and gate receipts for the mega-event were tallied up too.

How much could Fury earn from a fight with Anthony Joshua?

If Fury fights Joshua one day, there would be a huge pot of money for that fight to take place, but less so than the £150m that was at stake over the summer of 2021.

The pair nearly came to terms on another massive fight this year before Fury ultimately agreed a deal with Chisora.

TYSON Fury’s rise to heavyweight glory is largely down to one man – his dad John.

As head of the famous Fury family, boxing runs through his blood and has spilled out into his offspring.

Former boxer John Fury is the head of the famous Fury family[/caption]

Who is John Fury?

John Fury – known by his nickname “Gypsy John” – was born in Tuam, Galway, Ireland into a family of Irish Traveller heritage.

He is a former professional boxer and bare-knuckle fighter.

Fury’s professional boxing career spanned eight years and in total, he was involved in 13 bouts.

He made his professional debut on April 28, 1987, when he lost to rugby league player Adam Fogerty in Halifax, West Yorkshire.

From there Fury went on to win his next six fights until a draw with David Hopkins in Helsinki on February 13, 1989.

He was rewarded by a shot at the vacant Central Area title against Neil Malpass but lost on points.

After that Fury rebounded with wins against Michael Murray, a future British title challenger and Cesare Di Benedetto, a future Italian title challenger.

However in his next fight he suffered a KO loss against future WBO champion Henry Akinwande.

This loss was followed by a four year absence from the ring until Fury returned against former opponent Steve Garber in Manchester in 1995 – he was knocked out again inside four rounds.

How many children does John Fury have?

Fury has welcomed six children during his life, which includes two-time heavyweight boxing world champion Tyson Fury, who he named after Mike Tyson.

He’s also dad to professional boxer and reality star Tommy Fury.

Fury’s other children are Roman, Hughie and Shane.

His only daughter, Ramona, tragically passed away months after birth.

When was John Fury in prison?

In 2011, Fury was found guilty of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm for gouging a man’s eye out in a brawl in 2010.

He was handed an 11-year sentence.

The victim was left half-blind after a 12-year dispute erupted in violence at a car auction in 2010.

He was released from prison in February 2015.

TOMMY FURY has one of the biggest fights of his boxing career coming up in October against KSI.

The boxer will have the support of his family with dad John in his corner.

Fury, 24, broke down in tears after the big victory over Paul in Saudi Arabia on February 26, 2023.

He said: “These are tears of joy. Jake was a true warrior. He was a better man than I expected.”

Tommy said about being knocked down late in the fight: “It was not a knockdown, it was a slip.

“He took good shots and he was much better than I thought he was.”

Who are Tommy Fury’s parents?

Tommy’s parents are mum Chantal and dad John.

Former boxer John, 58, is a regular fixture in Tommy’s corner as he trains his son.

While mum Chantal is often away from the limelight, she did make her first public appearance during Love Island in 2019 when Tommy was on the show.

Beaming Chantal said to Tommy during her visit to the villa: “I’m so proud of you.”

Chantal and John joined Tommy on a walk before his fight last year[/caption]

When seeing his mum in the Majorcan villa, Tommy exclaimed: “This woman has not been on a plane in 16 years!”

Tommy remained coupled up with Molly Mae Hague during his stint on the popular ITV2 show.

And in January 2023, Chantal and John became proud grandparents to Tommy’s daughter with Molly, Bambi.

Chantal and John married in 1989 and have two sons together, Roman and Tommy.

Tommy and world heavyweight champion Tyson have the same father in John but were born to different mothers.

Tyson’s mum is Amber and she had two other sons with John, Shane and John Jr.

THE Fury family have several big names in the world of boxing – and you can soon add Roman to the list.

Tyson had previously said: “He’s an aspiring cruiserweight champion of the future.”

Who is Roman Fury?

Roman Fury is 26 years old and boxes as a cruiserweight. He is the brother of Tyson and Tommy, and the son of John.

He had previously had a scholarship to become a rugby league player but got into boxing after his weight ballooned up to 19 stone. 

Roman shed six stone after starting training with Tyson and Tommy during lockdown and is now ready to go under the microscope by following the family tradition in the ring.

Roman, who lives in Morecambe and trains alongside WBC heavyweight champ Tyson and fellow brother Tommy, told VIP Boxing: “I don’t want to rush things. I don’t want to box on big bills just because I carry the ‘Fury’ name.

“You can’t run before you can walk and the VIP Boxing shows are ideal for me to learn my ringcraft and build.

“I could have had amateur fights, but I am around professional boxers and learning that side of things.

What is pro boxing record?

Roman had his first pro boxing fight on October 8 2022 in Doncaster.

He beat Ryan Hibbert over four rounds on his debut to move to 1-0 in the pro ranks.

He had no amateur experience prior to the bout and says that he has “only messed around on the pads” – but that is not stopping him from trying to add more championships to the family collection.

Roman had his second professional fight at York Hall in June 2023, beating Erik Nazaryan on points, taking his pro record to 2-0.

TYSON FURY has one of the meanest sounding names in world boxing today.

Fury has ignited rivalries with fellow Brits Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte in recent years, and both have used the same piece of information against him in verbal sparring.

Joshua and Whyte have called Fury ‘Luke’, with boxing fans now cottoning on to the mutual jibe.

But what’s the reason behind it?

Why do people call Tyson Fury ‘Luke’?

Well, both Joshua and Whyte believe Fury’s actual first name to be Luke.

Luke is actually Fury’s middle name, as listed on Companies House, Boxrec and Wikipedia.

But Whyte thinks otherwise, as he told SunSport in an exclusive interview last year.

“My real name is Dillian. I know his real name is Luke,” Whyte told SunSport last year. “He changed it to Tyson to make himself sound harder.

“People can have a little look around on the internet and see for themselves.

“In boxing, the name Tyson is a lot more sellable than Luke.

“A lot of what Tyson does and says is a game, you can never take anything he says seriously or at face value.

“He might say he wants to fight me sometimes but how can you trust a man who doesn’t even use his own name?”

Joshua then went ahead and used the same jab against Fury on Twitter last year when the pair went back and forth over their fallen-through heavyweight showdown.

“If there was an arbitration going on, why announce to the world we are fighting!” he wrote.

“The fight was signed! UNDISPUTED. 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.”

THE Gypsy King boasts chariots that have been the envy of the sporting world over the years.

Tyson Fury, 35, proudly showed off TWO new Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II motors – each priced at a staggering £384,000 – last June.

A £20k Vauxhall Passat was spotted on Fury’s drive, which he cleaned up[/caption]

The WBC champion was also seen buying a £140,000 Porsche Taycan one month after his brutal sixth-round KO of Dillian Whyte at Wembley last April.

But he isn’t all flashy. Fury is often all too happy to share Instagram stories of his £20,000 Vauxhall Passat – which he regularly cleans on the driveway of his multi-million-pound mansion.

In the past, he drove a stunning Ferrari GTC4Lusso worth around £250,000.

And on the opposite end of the scale, the heavyweight boxer has also squeezed his giant 6ft 9in frame into a 1993 Mini Cooper that would’ve cost no more than £10,000.

Here’s a look inside Fury’s motors through the years.

THE FASTEST

Fury is a big fan of the Ferrari brand, having previously owned a California which he sold to a pal.

His GTC4Lusso is the priciest car in his garage, with a value of around £250,000.

He purchased it in 2019 after confirming his rematch with long-time rival Deontay Wilder.

It’s a speedy supercar too – able to hit 0-62mph in just 3.4 seconds.

THE MOST EXPENSIVE

The Rolls-Royce Phantom is one of the classiest motors you can get.

And, of course, it comes with a hefty £360,000 price tag that only the mega-rich can afford.

Fury had one, regularly posing on social media with it over the years.

He sold it, however, when he was in the midst of depression and his life spiralled out of control.

He has also been pictured in a Rolls-Royce Dawn.

The most expensive motor Fury ever owned was a £360,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom[/caption]

LOVES A ROLLER

Fury also owned a Rolls-Royce Cullinan alongside his brilliant Phantom.

But again, with the trappings of fame and wealth too much to stand, he decided to flog it.

The Wythenshawe fighter even posted an emotional video on YouTube waving goodbye to the motor as it left his drive.

He claimed to have swapped it for a used Volkswagen Passat that cost him just £500.

Fury was also believed to own a Rolls-Royce Cullinan worth £300,000[/caption]

MOST RIDICULOUS

Everybody knows a Mini Cooper isn’t exactly the roomiest vehicle on the market.

Worse still, if you are as tall as 6ft 9in and weigh around 20 stone, it’ll be a tight a squeeze fitting into one.

But that didn’t bother Tyson, who was seen in a £10,000 Mini Cooper driving around Morecambe.

He even, unashamedly, shared an image giving the thumbs up inside the British icon.

ITALIAN STALLION

He matches cars with his mate, Billy Joe Saunders.

In 2019, Fury showed off his red Ferrari Portofino motor, alongside Saunders’ similar model in a car park.

The Portofino usually retails at around £170,000 for a base model.

OUT OF RANGE

As Fury began his recovery from mental health issues and substance issues, he treated himself to a Range Rover.

But, he wasn’t going to get any old Range Rover – splashing the cash on a £65,000 Sport SVR.

Even better, he got it wrapped in camo.

“Massive thanks to @automotivefashion for wrapping my SVR, looks & feels great. Army edition,” he shared on social media with a snap of his motor.

NICE WAGON

In 2016, Fury was spotted driving a Mercedes-AMG G class SUV.

The £160,000 is one of the most luxurious vehicles around and is favoured by plenty of Premier League stars.

Fury’s is personalised with blacked-out windows, with one having an etching of his famous nickname’s initial ‘GK’.

A year before that, he took to Twitter to show off an original G Wagon from 1991.

Pricey Porche

The Gypsy King added to his collection of supercars in July with the purchase of a stunning Porche GT3 RS.

The GT3 RS is by no means a cheap ride, with the default model costing a whopping £192,600.

Fury’s model, however, is a custom edition number – meaning it likely cost in excess of £200,000.

The former unified heavyweight champion unveiled the bad boy motor on his Instagram story.

He said: “I’m gonna take my brand new GT3 RS out for a drive today.

“First time it’s been out of the garage since I got it.

“I’m looking forward to giving it a blast because that’s what life’s about, enjoying the spoils of war.”

Fury will be able to add to his fleet of supercars after his Saudi showdown with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.

The Wythenshawe warrior throws down with The Predator in a controversial crossover clash on October 28.

It’s understood he’ll receive the biggest purse of his combat sports career for the ten-rounder, in which WON’T be for his WBC strap.

TYSON FURY is the heavyweight champion of the world.

And after his fights, Fury usually belts out a song about his adoring wife – but what do we know about Paris Fury?

Who is Paris Fury?

Tyson met Paris around 16 years ago at a wedding of mutual friends when she was just 15.

Like Tyson, who grew up in a gypsy family in Wythenshawe, Manchester, she was also raised in a traditional traveller family in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.

The pair met again by chance at Paris’s 16th birthday party and took up together, going to the cinema and ice skating every weekend.

He is 6ft 9ins and she is 5ft 8ins.

The heavyweight superstar has likened boxing to marriage.

He said: “Boxing is like a marriage – you have to work at it. You do fall in and out of love.

“But I have spiced it back up again, bought her some sexy lingerie and we are back at it, better than ever.”

Paris, 32, has been a regular panellist on ITV’s Loose Women.

What was their wedding like?

The couple had a traditional wedding in front of more than 300 guests in Paris’ home town in November 2008.

In keeping with the travellers’ tradition they didn’t sleep together until their wedding night.

Paris explained: “Even after we got engaged, Tyson would sleep in a caravan at my parents’ home, while I slept inside the house.”

How many children do the couple have?

The couple have six children – with Tyson announcing in March, 2023 that their seventh is on the way.

Their youngest is a girl called Athena born in August 2021, who followed their third son Prince Adonis Amaziah.

He came along just over a year after their fourth child, Valencia Amber.

They are also parents to three other children – Prince John James, Venezuela and Prince Tyson Fury II.

She told Tyson she was pregnant with Prince John James less than 24 hours before his famous world ­heavyweight boxing ­championship victory against Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.

Though Paris revealed she suffered a miscarriage on the day of the Gypsy King’s comeback fight against Albanian Sefer Seferi. 

But she did not let him know until after the bout.

She said: “I was about eight weeks pregnant. Then on the day of the fight I knew I’d lost our baby.

“I didn’t mention it to Tyson before he went in the ring.

“Then straight after I told him and the next day we went to the hospital and it was confirmed.

“Five weeks later we fell pregnant again.”

TYSON FURY will have SugarHill Steward in his corner for his huge crossover bout with Francis Ngannou in October.

Steward replaced former trainer Ben Davison ahead of the Gypsy Kings’ rematch with Deontay Wilder in February 2020.

Who is SugarHill Steward?

A former Detroit policeman, he is the nephew of legendary Hall of Fame trainer Emmanuel Steward.

He was announced as Tyson Fury’s new trainer just two months before the rematch against WBC champion Deontay Wilder.

Fury told the Telegraph: “The only reason I’m with Sugarhill is because I need a knockout in this fight.

“If I was looking to nick a points win, I’d have stuck with Ben.”

Why did Fury split with Ben Davison?  

He did not want to share training with Steward and resigned.

Fury told the Telegraph: “That was that, he resigned.

“I didn’t get rid of him. Ben walked away of his own accord.

“He’s got other commitments as well. He’s training Billy Joe Saunders and I’m over here for months at a time, and it’s probably worked out for the better.

“That’s the truth and I can’t say any more than the truth.”

When is Fury vs Ngannou?

• Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou will take place on Saturday, October 28.
• The bout will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
• Expect ring-walks to get going from around 10pm UK time.
• The fight will be a 10-round professional fight but Fury’s WBC belt will NOT be on the line.
• Exhibition rules will NOT be in place.

What channel is it on and can it be live streamed?

• Fury’s clash with Ngannou will be likely be shown live on TNT Sports Box Office in the UK.
• The event will likely be priced at £19.95.
• You can live stream the action from the TNT Sports Box Office app, which is available for download onto your mobile or tablet device.

CONOR BENN has had the lifting of his provisional ban appealed against by Ukad and the BBBofC.

The 26-year-old welterweight is still fighting to prove his innocence, after two failed tests in the build-up to his cancelled October clash with Chris Eubank Jr.

Conor Benn is determined to clear his name for goos[/caption]

Last month, following a video-call hearing with the National Anti-Doping Panel, a provisional suspension on the son of British ring legend Nigel was lifted, freeing him to fight again.

However Ukad – who police and punish doping in British boxing – are unhappy with the decision and have pushed back just within their 21-day window of opportunity.

A statement read: “UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) can today confirm that it has filed an appeal in respect of a decision handed down by the independent National Anti-Doping Panel regarding anti-doping proceedings brought by UKAD against Mr Conor Benn.

“As confirmed previously in UKAD’s statement on 28 July 2023, Mr Benn is no longer subject to a provisional suspension.

“The appeal process will now be followed in accordance with the UK Anti-Doping Rules.

“UKAD issues this statement in accordance with Article 14.3.4 of the World Anti-Doping Code and is not able to make any further public disclosures at this time.”

Benn has successfully applied for an American licence, however his pulling power is in the UK where promoter Eddie Hearn is desperate for him to resume his career.

The appeals process could take up to two months and sideline Benn – who last boxed in April 2022 – for close to two years.

Benn’s last action came when he beat Chris van Heerden in Manchester.

The ban he is battling against – for two findings of the female fertility drug clomiphene – is also for two years.

Benn’s case preceded Dillian Whyte’s bout with Anthony Joshua getting cancelled after he returned adverse findings in his Vada tests in the build-up to their August 12 rematch.

Whilst another added: “Such a beauty!”

A third commented: “Beautiful lady.”

And another simply posted: “Wow” – appearing to be blown away by the photos.

Apollonia has not just built herself an impressive following on Instagram, but also on TikTok.

The Leeds lass boasts a further 696,000 followers on the video app where she regularly updates her fans with her lavish lifestyle.

She rose to fame as a ring girl on the Misfits fight card at Wembley back in January.

TYSON FURY passionately supported Anthony Joshua during his rival’s loss to Oleksandr Usyk.

Footage from the heavyweight champion’s new Netflix series – At Home with the Furys – shows the Gypsy King backing AJ.

Joshua has now lost twice to the Ukrainian[/caption]

He shouts advice at the screen before mocking Usyk, saying: “See him there, he couldn’t knock the skin off a rice pudding.

“I will smoke that little motherf***er’s boots. Five or six years ago, I relieved a Ukrainian of all of the the belts before in [Wladimir] Klitschko. F*** them.”

Fury begins to call Joshua on as he screamed: “Go on AJ, good jab son! Left hook to the body, let’s go! Bang, bang, bang!

“Let them rip, both hands.”

But showing signs of frustration, Fury sighed: “Come on, get stuck in son! Swing some shots for God’s sake. This is shockingly s****.”

Usyk beat Joshua on points twice in the space of 11 months.

But Fury, 35, was left unimpressed, saying: “I’ll tell you what I’ll do, I’ll go over there and I’ll fight them both in the same night.

“That’s how s*** they are, they are f***ing s***. Thought it was a s*** fight, honestly I thought it was a proper s**** fight.

“It wasn’t even worthy of a British title, never mind a world heavyweight title. S***.”

Joshua has bounced back with two wins since that defeat, beating Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius.

And after Usyk failed in talks to fight Fury, he was later ordered into a WBA mandatory defence against Daniel Dubois set for August 26.

Fury meanwhile returns in Saudi on October 28 against ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou in a crossover clash.

EDDIE HEARN says Deontay Wilder is overrated and has “never beaten an elite heavyweight.”

Wilder is in talks with Anthony Joshua for a super-fight in Saudi Arabia in January, with Hearn leading negotiations.

Deontay Wilder is in line to fight Anthony Joshua[/caption]

But the promoter has already started the fighting words by questioning Wilder’s record.

He told Boxing Social: “I cannot believe how highly people rate Deontay Wilder. He’s never beaten a top-five heavyweight.

“Luis Ortiz is his best win – he was getting smashed in the first fight, he was 7-0 down in the second fight. He’s never beaten an elite heavyweight.”

Wilder, 37, made ten successful WBC title defences, losing only to Tyson Fury, 35, in their rematch and trilogy bout.

The American returned last October, knocking out Robert Helenius, 39, in just 40 seconds.

And it was Helenius who replaced Dillian Whyte, 35, following a failed test to fight Joshua, 33.

AJ took seven rounds to take Helenius out and Hearn hopes it will set up the blockbuster bout with Wilder.

He said: “I think that he can beat Deontay Wilder comfortably, but he could also get beat by Deontay Wilder.

“I don’t think necessarily, I mean, the good thing is he got – what was it – seven rounds in against a tall opponent who can punch a bit with the backhand?

“I think it’s difficult to replicate certainly the power of Deontay Wilder. But I’ve always felt that AJ can outbox Deontay Wilder.”

Hearn is set to conduct talks with Saudi’s Skills Challenge Entertainment and Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel.

IAN MACHADO GARRY is Conor McGregor’s biggest fan – but he has now signed with his rival Jake Paul.

Garry is a 12-0 unbeaten UFC welterweight contender, who was inspired into the cage by McGregor’s meteoric rise.

But he has now signed with YouTuber-turned boxer Paul’s media company Betr.

It comes after years of the polarising prankster and prizefighter’s callouts and verbal jabs of McGregor.

But Garry, 25, told MMAFighting: “I am Conor’s biggest fan.

“I am literally the first fighter of a generation to make it to the UFC because of Conor’s rise.

“What they wanna do and what they have and their personal beef has nothing to do with it.

“If you have two friends that don’t get on, if you have two people that know they don’t get on, you can still be friends with both.

“You can still do business with both, you can still talk to both, you can still go to both of their houses and have dinner.

“What they have has nothing to do with me. That’s called being an adult.”

Paul, 26, first called out McGregor, 35, in 2020 and hurled insults at the Irishman’s long-time partner Dee Devlin.

And he has continued try and goad the ex-UFC champion back into the ring, following McGregor’s debut 2017 loss to Floyd Mayweather.

Paul meanwhile bounced back from defeat to Tommy Fury by beating McGregor’s former rival Nate Diaz.

TYSON FURY wanted to CANCEL his new Netflix series half way through filming.

The world heavyweight boxing champion is subject to a new three-part series called At Home With The Furys.

Paris Fury pictured with husband Tyson[/caption]

But managing the cameras and his kids proved to be the father-of-six’s greatest fight yet.

Wife Paris said on Capital XTRA: “I think the little ones found it complete normality, the younger ones is like six and down, they didn’t know any different, just cameras around, right cameras are in today, no problem.

“My older girl who is just starting to be a teenager, we went through the teenage tantrums the whole time we was filming.

“So that was all on there and that was hard work because we’d be like ‘Right, cameras are here’, ‘I don’t care, I’m not interested, I’m not bothered, I want to be the Rob of the Kardashians.’

“I think they enjoyed it because they all agreed to do it, we talked to the bigger two, the little ones were too young, the big two we were like ‘Do you want to do it, do you want to be involved?’

“And they were like ‘Yeah, yeah’, but then there’s times when I suppose you don’t want to.

“Especially when Tyson said no he didn’t want to. We got halfway through filming, and he wanted to cancel the whole show!”

Fury, 35, added: “Yeah I wanted out, I was like, couple of weeks in I said, ‘Is there any way?’

“I’d be on the phone with my lawyers, ‘Is there any way I can get out of this? I don’t know what I’ve signed up for again. I never said I’d do it again, I’ve done it again, I’ve made a mistake.’

“That’s just my bipolar going up and down all the time, one minute I’m happy, the next minute I’m not and it’s very evident to see my emotional roller-coaster throughout this episode.

“People are going to be shocked because I can take ten turns in an hour.”

TOMMY FURY revealed he already has a career switch planned out after he finishes boxing.

Fury – younger brother to world heavyweight champion Tyson – shot to mainstream fame in 2019 on reality series Love Island.

Tommy Fury already has a career switch planned out after he finishes boxing[/caption]

He went in as a 2-0 prospect and came out with his now-fiancee Molly-Mae Hague.

Fury is currently 9-0 and most recently beat YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul, 26, in a celebrity super-fight.

It landed him another blockbuster bout against British celebrity KSI, 30, in Manchester on October 14.

But after hanging up his gloves, Fury wants to take his talents to the big screen as an actor.

He made the reveal on At Home with the Furys, a Netflix series mainly centring around Tyson and his wife Paris.

Fury said: “My dream is now to do the boxing, get as far as I can in that, then I’d like to get into the films.

“I’ve made my mind up. But I think I’ll have an easier way into it, because I don’t want to do serious acting. I just wanna do horror films.”

Brother Tyson, 34, said: “You’re a horror movie buff, ain’t you?”

And Fury responded: “I only watch them.”

The boxer lives in a stunning £3.5million mansion with Molly-Mae but he has now moved out of it while training to fight KSI.

Molly-Mae said: “Today is a little bit of a sad day in a way as Tommy has gone into his official camp today.

“He’s basically been in camp for the last few weeks but he’s gone into his camp where he has essentially moved out of the house for a long time actually.

“It’s probably going to be about two months that we’re not living together, that’s just the way training camp is.”

Elle is 3-0 in her exhibition boxing bouts, and most recently beat Aleksandra Daniel in April.

But away from the ring she also enjoys a huge social media following thanks to her exploits with the gloves and on OnlyFans.

She kept her supporters updated throughout her recent trip to Magaluf with fellow boxer Johnny Fisher, a 6ft 4in former rugby player who now boasts a 9-0 pro record, in Majorca.

And Elle hilariously revealed how he was “started on” in the pool before his would-be opponent realised who he was and asked for a selfie.

Now she has sent her legion of adoring fans wild again by dropping a wild west themed clip on Insta.

The beautiful blonde covered her head with a cowboy hat and she had the boots to match.

But she barely had anything else on as she stood posing in the great outdoors in a tiny black bikini that left little to the imagination.

Elle recently appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored, talking about her career in adult entertainment.

Piers asked her if her parents are “incredibly disappointed” that she decided to “pack it all in to take your clothes off for perfect strangers on OnlyFans”.

She responded: “Piers, my dad is dead and my mum is on my payroll – my family are fine.”

Then asked what her future children might think of her unconventional career, Elle replied: “They can cry in a Ferrari.”

ANTHONY JOSHUA’S former coach has taken another shot at the British boxer – claiming he instantly thought the training camp was a “joke” when they worked together.

Trainer Robert Garcia was brought in by AJ last year following his first defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.

Anthony Joshua and former trainer Robert Garcia’s war of words is still going on[/caption]

And after Usyk, 36, won the rematch last August, Garcia was publicly critical of Joshua, 33, which led to his dismissal from the camp.

AJ was told afterwards that he needed a “stricter camp” after having it too “easy and quick” by the American.

Another dig was then fired by Garcia as he claimed that the 2012 Olympic Gold medallist would lose to lightweight Gervonta Davis.

The animosity between Garcia and Joshua, who previously said his first trainer Rob McCracken did not teach him defence, appears to be mutual.

The 33-year-old Watford-born star, who has bounced back from the Usyk setbacks with a unanimous decision win over Jermaine Franklin before Saturday’s seventh round knockout of Robert Helenius, has claimed that he was taught nothing by Garcia.

But his now apparent foe hit back this week in extraordinary fashion when asked for his thoughts on AJ’s comments during an appearance on the Little Giant Boxing podcast.

He said: “I don’t really pay attention to that. I didn’t hear it. Somebody read it to me, but to me, it’s just what boxing is, man.

“When you’re with a fighter everything is going well then at the end something goes wrong and the first one to blame is the trainer.

“One thing I will tell you, when I first got to training camp in London in England, the first week, there was things that they were doing, people involved, it’s just not my style.

“And honestly I have all the emails where I told the management team, I said please fly me home, it was a joke.”

Garcia then added: “The way it was going, the people involved, things they were doing to prepare for a fight, things were going on in training camp I would just sit and laugh by myself.

“I told the management team can you just please fly me home I’m not going to be part of this, they convinced me to stay, change things around, which I did – I changed things around and we ended up doing good.

“But one week into camp I was ready to leave camp so if that was the case [that they weren’t happy with me] they should have sent me home when I wanted to go.”

Joshua is now preparing for one of his biggest challenges yet with an expected showdown against KO artist Deontay Wilder, the former WBC heavyweight champ, in Saudi Arabia in December.

EDDIE HEARN has mocked Jake Paul’s fight with Nate Diaz – branding it an “awful” display of boxing.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer returned to the win column with a unanimous decision victory over the former UFC star earlier this month.

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn wasn’t impressed by The Problem Child’s display[/caption]

Paul, 26, dropped MMA legend Diaz in the fifth round on his way to picking up his seventh professional victory, although the knockdown did little to impress Hearn.

During an appearance on The MMA Hour, the Matchroom Boxing chief said of the fight: “It was awful.

“Don’t get me wrong, the event was unbelievable. You did a great job.

“Brilliant. But when you’re talking about — you know MMA like the back of your hand.

“I know boxing like the back of my hand, and I’m watching that like [face in his hands], ‘This is so bad.’”

Problem Child Paul has aspirations of eventually challenging for a world title, something Hearn believes is the ultimate pipe dream.

He said: “We have something in the U.K. called an area title, which is in a specific radius — it’s kind of like a state title.

“These guys wouldn’t win a state title – that’s the level they’re fighting at.

“But listen, props to Nate. He definitely didn’t have ability, but what he did have was grit.

“But Jake just doesn’t have the ability or the experience to break someone down and stop them. And I was convinced he would.”

Paul lamented his failure to stop Diaz, who has only ever been finished once in MMA.

But Hearn doesn’t believe he had the skill-set to stop the fight inside the distance.

He said: “The reason that Nate didn’t get stopped is that Jake didn’t have the ability.

“He doesn’t know how to break a fighter down, cut off the ring, beat him up, and stop him.

“But I give my props to Nate: super tough. Super tough. But you’re talking about low, low level in terms of standard.”

Paul is expected to return to the ring later this year, although there currently isn’t a frontrunner to be his ninth professional opponent.

The Gypsy King faces the former UFC heavyweight champion in a controversial crossover clash in Saudi Arabia in October.

Cameroonian clubber Ngannou, 36, has enlisted the services of boxing legend Tyson for his professional debut.

And Iron Mike is adamant The Predator won’t be a heavy bag for Fury and insists he’ll give him a run for his money.

The former undisputed heavyweight champion told ESPN: “He’s had many professional fights, he’s just never experienced a professional boxing match.

“Working with him yesterday, he has the aptitude and I see a good future in his life, it’s not going to be as one-sided as people thinks it is.”

Tyson knows Ngannou faces a near-impossible task to become the first man to beat Fury in the professional ranks.

And that’s why he plans to work him to the bone to get him ready for the toughest fight of his combat sports career.

Tyson said: “I was speaking with Francis once he came in [to the gym] and I asked him, ‘Are you sore today?’

“And he said, ‘No.’ That was a big mistake.

“We are going to work him and exert everything he has for this particular match.

“Because he is going to have to do that, and I definitely believe that it’s going to be a tougher fight than everyone thinks”.

Ngannou’s Saudi showdown with Fury will be a ten-round affair, although the Brit’s WBC heavyweight title won’t be on the line.

The former refugee knows he faces an almighty task to get the better of Fury but is adamant he’ll pull off the greatest upset in boxing history.

He said: “My dream was always to box and to box the best.

“This is my opportunity to make that dream come true and cement my position as the baddest man on the planet.

“All I will say to Tyson for now is he better dance in that ring.

TYSON FURY’s undisputed title fight with Oleksandr Usyk is facing yet another delay.

The pair’s historic unification fight collapsed in the spring and hopes of an end-of-year showdown were scuppered when Fury accepted a crossover clash with ex-UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in October.

Eddie Hearn has claimed the IBF will order Filip Hrgovic, left, to face the winner of Usyk vs Dubois[/caption]

Unified heavyweight king Usyk has had to make do with a mandatory title defence against Daniel Dubois.

But Eddie Hearn claims the Ukranian will have to deal with IBF mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic – who retained his position with a 12th-round stoppage of Demsey McKean on Saturday – immediately after the Brit.

The Matchroom Boxing chief, who co-promotes the Croatian, told Boxing Scene: “He needed to get that fight.

“He needed to be active, and also the IBF confirmed that, after the Usyk-Dubois fight, they will call the immediate mandatory now for Filip Hrgovic.

“So he will fight the winner of that next.”

Boxing fans had hoped Fury’s overdue clash with Usyk would take place in Saudi Arabia before the end of the year.

But promoter Frank Warren insisted the fight wouldn’t happen this year prior to the announcement of the Ngannou bout.

He told talkSPORT: “He will not be fighting on the Skill Challenge show in December because they’re talking about their show now being postponed until January.

“I think their head of boxing Amer Abdallah said they’ll probably be moving it to the first quarter of 2024, that’s up to them.

“Prince Khaled is a fantastic person, I really like him, but in the meantime we have to move on, we are going to announce something.”

Former pound-for-pound king Usyk hasn’t held back with his criticism of Fury for facing boxing novice Ngannou.

He told Sky Sports: “The guy is going to earn some decent money.

“For Francis Ngannou, this is a great opportunity, but for Tyson Fury, it’s definitely not.”

He added: “Doesn’t it seem strange that instead of choosing a top-10 guy, he is choosing someone who has never boxed before?”

Her skimpy dress left little to the imagination as she joined the no bra club to put on a busty display.

She paired the white dress with a matching bag and heels, flicking her hair back for the camera in one of the pictures.

Alongside the post, Apollonia wrote: “Greek nights.”

Her fans were quick to swoon over the model in the comments section, with one writing: “You’re incredible.”

Another added: “You look gorgeous.”

A third follower also wrote: “So elegant and beautiful.”

Meanwhile, one more simply said: “Mesmerising.”

Apollonia has already put on a busty display during her trip to Santorini as she tucked into breakfast.

She spilled out of a skimpy bikini to the delight of her fans on a sunny morning on the island.

Another recent upload saw Apollonia hailed as “gorgeous from head to toe” by one fan as she posed in a different white dress.

The stunning blonde also debuted a new curly hair do in one post, which saw her show off her physique in a yellow bikini.

EDDIE HEARN is adamant Anthony Joshua can “comfortably” outbox Deontay Wilder in their long overdue grudge match.

The former two-time unified heavyweight champion sealed a 2024 showdown with the Bronze Bomber with an explosive knockout victory over Robert Helenius last Saturday.

Eddie Hearn is adamant AJ can outbox devastating knockout artist Wilder[/caption]

AJ picked up his second win on the bounce since consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk with a brutal seventh-round KO of The Nordic Nightmare – a short-notice replacement for Dillian Whyte.

Hearn was delighted to see the Watford warrior pick up his first stoppage win in nearly three years and firmly believes the golden boy of British boxing can do a number on the former WBC king now that he’s got his mojo back.

The Matchroom Boxing chief said: “I think that he can beat Deontay Wilder comfortably, but he could also get beat by Deontay Wilder.

“I don’t think necessarily, I mean, the good thing is he got – what was it – seven rounds in against a tall opponent who can punch a bit with the backhand?

“I think it’s difficult to replicate certainly the power of Deontay Wilder.

“But I’ve always felt that AJ can outbox Deontay Wilder.”

Joshua, 33, showcased improved footwork against Helenius but his hesitancy to trade in the pocket was evident.

Hearn believes AJ has somewhat lost the killer instinct he had early in his career but reckons his more methodical approach will serve him well in his Saudi showdown with Wilder.

He said: “I prefer him to box tentatively than his old style against Deontay Wilder.

“I know he can beat him with that style as well, but I would like to see him box Deontay Wilder, try and break him down.

“If he lands the right hand on Wilder like that, the fight’s over.

“And vice versa, if Wilder lands a right hand.

“That’s why it’s one of the best fights in boxing.”

Joshua and Wilder were on a collision course in 2018 when they held all the heavyweight hardware.

But their eagerly-anticipated grudge match, which Joshua welcomed after putting Helenis, never came to fruition.

AJ said of fighting Wilder his post-fight interview: “Roll on. There’s no worry to me when it is.

“I’m just happy we can get the fight going and I think people appreciate that.

“I’m doing my best to keep heavyweight boxing on the map.”

Elle has been soaking up the sun in Mexico as she enjoys a summer getaway.

She has treated her Instagram followers to an insight into the trip by sharing videos and snaps to her story,

One post on Sunday showed her relaxing at the Sacred Cenote, a water-filled sinkhole.

In the video, Elle can be seen flicking her hair back and flaunting her bum as she stands next to the water.

The underground pool is a sacred site in Mexico and is popular amongst tourists thanks to its stunning appearance as well as its historical significance.

Elle later shared a selfie as she visited a restaurant.

She went braless as she posed in a low-cut top.

Alongside the snap of herself smouldering for the camera, she wrote: “So happy x x x.”

Elle has forged an impressive crossover boxing career this year in addition to her social media exploits.

Having made her debut last July, she has since amassed a record of 3-1 and forged a friendship with IBF bantamweight champion Ebanie Bridges.

The Australian helped Elle train for her debut and the pair have since become pals.

However, it is unclear when Elle will return to the ring after losing to Jully Poca in the Kingpyn High Stakes tournament last month.

The loss meant that she would have to fight her sister Emily per the rules of the tournament, but she has refused to take part in the bout.

Instead, Elle has continued to wow her fans, including by covering her body in oil for a series of lingerie snaps.

MIKE TYSON left Dana White utterly bemused by performing a sudden blast of Bon Jovi – before confusing him even more with his bizarre pronunciation of KSI.

The boxing legend welcomed the UFC president on to his “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson” podcast last week.

Mike Tyson bizarrely stole the show with his singing on his latest podcast[/caption]

UFC president Dana White was left completely bemused by the incidents[/caption]

The two men spoke about a number of topics, and the conversation soon turned to their musical influences in the 1980s.

White said: “I grew up in the 80s when rap really started to take off, [with] Run-D.M.C, LL Cool J, the Beastie Boys, the Fat Boys [and] Salt-N-Pepa.”

However, before the 54-year-old was able to go on listing more artists, the Baddest Man on the Planet randomly burst into song, singing: “You give love a bad name.”

White, who went silent for a split-second, then told Iron Mike: “That’s Bon Jovi.”

After footage went viral online, on fan said: .“Damn I laughed way to hard at this lol.”

Another added: “Bro, Mike sang his heart out.”

But that was not the only hilariously awkward moment between the two men during the podcast.

The pair started discussing the much-maligned Paul brothers.

Logan Paul is the co-founder of hit drinks company Prime alongside fellow social media star KSI and they sponsor the UFC.

White said: “[Logan] is f***ing brilliant, he’s raking in big dough.

“Logan Paul is a business man. This kid is really making some big moves and KSI too. Those kids are making real money and doing their thing.”

Tyson interrupted him though by singing: “KSI.”

The whole room fell silent before White asked: “What’s that?”

Tyson repeated himself by once again singing the Brit’s name with an alongated I at the end, to which the clearly bemused White replied “yup” before awkward laughter filled the room.

KSI and Logan will both be in action on the same fight card on October 14.

The Brit faces Tommy Fury, who beat Jake Paul last time out, while Logan takes on MMA fighter Dillon Danis.

TYSON FURY took aim at the stars of Made in Chelsea and The Only Way Is Essex as he promoted his upcoming Netflix series.

The Gypsy King and his family will launch At Home With The Furys on August 16 on the streaming platform.

The Gypsy King laid on Morecambe beach in the latest advert for the show[/caption]

He then belted out: ‘Welcome to Morecambe, you dossers’[/caption]

At Home With The Furys hits Netflix on Wednesday[/caption]

And it will offer fans an insight into their chaotic home life in Morecambe, which includes six lively kids, and was filmed during his short-lived retirement in 2022.

We have already reported how the fly-on-the-wall show is expected to be such a success that a second season has already ordered before the first has even dropped.

The WBC heavyweight champion, who faces MMA monster Francis Ngannou on October 28 in Saudi Arabia next, has been promoting the show ahead of its premiere on Wednesday.

And as he lay sunbathing on the beach at Morecambe in the latest trailer, the 34-year-old 6ft 9in undefeated legend could not resist taking a jab at two of their rival reality TV shows.

He said:  “This is a message from the trash talking champion of the world.

“It’s a message for the bums from Chelsea. The skinny-legged plums from Essex. The clowns from Sunset Boulevard. Oh, and the housewives of wherever you’re from.

“Welcome to Morecambe, you dossers!”

Although Netflix denied it at the time, The Sun revealed last May that Fury was making the first documentary.

Last year, Tyson said: “I want to retire on top, unbeaten heavyweight champion of the world.

“I want to do a Netflix documentary, a Hollywood movie and be a good husband, father and son.”

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST ONLINE CASINOS FOR 2023

He confirmed it was true in June and last August the streaming giant finally did the same.

The second series, which could drop next year, is expected to pivot around Tyson’s upcoming, high-profile fight with Ngannou.

The first season covers the boxer’s heritage as member of the traveller community and his health issues, as well as his stellar career in the ring.

Wife Paris features along with their six kids, aged 13 to two. So does his brother, fellow boxer and Love Islander Tommy Fury, who has a six-month-old daughter with Molly-Mae Hague, whom he met on the ITV2 show.

Fans got more than they hoped for again as the 22-year-old stunned on Instagram.

She donned figure-hugging lingerie and posed seductively on a bed.

Daniella captioned the post: “Bedtime but no sleep.”

It left her followers in awe, one said: “Sexy and beautiful picture of you.”

Another said: “What a woman.”

A third added: “Can I accompany you on your bed?”

Daniella has 198,000 followers on social media, seeing her page grow after flashing post-win.

However, she was slammed by promoter Eddie Hearn for her antics but was backed by fighter Ebanie Bridges.

Away from boxing, the blonde bombshell started her career on TikTok in 2020 and her account is fitness, lifestyle, and comedy based.

Daniella has also used her platform to share her story on how she lost four stone since the age of 15.

But she has since started an OnlyFans account where she posts more risquee content for paying subscribers.

Daniella is currently dating MMA star Akonne Wanliss.

FOOTAGE has emerged of Conor McGregor’s ringside altercation with KSI at Anthony Joshua’s fight.

Both KSI and McGregor were ringside at the O2 Arena to watch as AJ knocked out Robert Helenius in round seven with a stunning right hand.

After victory, Joshua fled the ropes and took a lap around the ring.

He soon bumped into McGregor and the two shared a celebratory sip of the UFC star’s Irish Forged Stout.

But YouTuber-turned boxer KSI was also next to Joshua and was soon on the end of an earful from McGregor.

The Irishman is believed to have called KSI a “b****” but Joshua was heard responding, “That’s my guy!”

McGregor, 35, went one further later in the night by calling out KSI, 30, to a bare-knuckle fight.

He said live on DAZN: “Big congrats to AJ, big congrats to Eddie, big congrats Forged Irish Stout.

“And I know your man KSI is in the crowd and he couldn’t box eggs if he worked in an egg boxing factory.

“So if he wants to get in here I’ll give him a final yoke, bare-knuckle if you want.”

Responding, KSI tweeted: “Lmao just seen this.

“Jake Paul must be crying that I’ve got Conor on my d*** already and I didn’t even have to fight an mma fighter.”

KSI was also booed earlier in the night as he vowed to beat Tommy Fury, who he faces on October 14 in Manchester.

And Fury responded: “I’m deep in training camp whilst you’re making a fool out of yourself at fights.

“Keep talking s***….come the 14th I’m going to destroy you.”

DEONTAY WILDER immediately FaceTimed his coach Malik Scott after Anthony Joshua’s brutal knockout of Robert Helenius.

Joshua’s hellacious right hand in round seven left Helenius out for the count and needing oxygen.

Deontay Wilder is ready to fight Anthony Joshua[/caption]

And it looks to have set up a super-fight with Wilder in Saudi Arabia, eyed for January.

The Bronze Bomber’s coach Scott was in the house at the O2 as his fighter Gerald Washington was beaten on points by Derek Chisora.

So Wilder was quick to get on the phone to his trainer and express relief in Joshua’s KO – his first since 2020.

Scott told October Red: “He was like, ‘We needed that’.

“We both said the same thing because at first it was looking like it was getting ready to go the distance so when the knockout came I called him on FaceTime and he was like, ‘I’m glad he got that, we needed it done just like that.’

“So we’re both satisfied, the fight is bigger to me than it was because of the knockout, so shoutout to AJ to going out there and getting the job done.

“Most of all shoutout to Robert Helenius. It took a lot of courage to get in that ring with real killers especially on short notice.

“He just fought Deontay last October, had one fight back and now he was right back in there fighting Anthony Joshua.”

Boxing reps from Saudi were ringside to watch Joshua’s win and attention has now turned Wilder.

And Scott has insisted the ex-WBC champion is up for the challenge – but may squeeze one fight in beforehand himself.

He said: “He’ll be more than ready for a January showdown.

“Last time I checked with Deontay we were looking for something for October, hopefully we can lock in an opponent and from there we’ll go and knockout AJ in January.

“Andy Ruiz doesn’t want to fight Deontay so we’re looking for somebody else, someone who really wants to fight and take a chance and unfortunately somebody else who is going to be knocked out.”

ANTHONY JOSHUA believes he has the game plan ready to beat Deontay Wilder.

AJ, 33, secured his 26th professional win with a seventh-round knockout of Robert Helenius on Saturday night.

Joshua failed to enthral the O2 Arena crowd – who booed him during the contest – and looked largely unconvincing for most of the fight.

He did land a big right hand which ultimately ended the contest against the veteran Finland fighter.

And now the former heavyweight world champion is eyeing a showdown with fellow fallen star Wilder for a possible January date in Saudi Arabia.

Like AJ, the Bronze Bomber is rebuilding his career after squandering his belt in the incredible trilogy against Tyson Fury.

But Joshua – who has three defeats on his record – is confident he has what it takes to beat the heavy-hitting Wilder, who possesses one of the most powerful punches in boxing history.

AJ said about his tactics should he step into the ring with the American: “This is a game of chess.

“I’m gonna take away Wilder’s best attributes.

“I’m not gonna stand there with my chin in the air and say, ‘Hit me.’

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS

“I’m gonna nullify him. It will be very challenging for him for sure.”

Joshua celebrated his laboured victory over late replacement Helenius with a crude gesture inside the ring before jumping out to take a sip of Conor McGregor’s pint.

And then he took a swipe at the supporters inside the O2 who jeered him – but insisted it did not impact his performance.

The Watford man said: “Not necessarily, I think they don’t understand it is competitive boxing.

“I was watching certain fights tonight and they didn’t look as exciting as I thought they would.

 “Were they booing me or Helenius? That is the question, who were they booing?”

The reporter then suggested that fans wanted a quicker knockout.

AJ hit back, saying with a shrug: “Have any of them ever boxed before?”

He was also quizzed on if he was happy with his display, responding: “That is for my coach [Derrick James], I don’t really rate my performances, whatever the coach thinks.

“We can go back to the drawing board and I know there is a lot of things we can improve on.

“I felt better than I did in April [versus Jermaine Franklin] and that is the main thing.”

The Notorious was complimentary of both men – but less so of KSI.

McGregor, 35, said: “Greatness don’t rush.

“Joshua took his time, he landed a big heavy shot, I’m just happy Helenius got up.

“The fans should be grateful for the Finnish coming in, last minute replacement, no fear he gave a great performance, did himself proud and his team and I’m happy to see him get up.

“Big congrats to AJ, big congrats to Eddie [Hearn], big congrats Forged Irish Stout, and I know your man KSI is in the crowd and he couldn’t box eggs if he worked in an egg boxing factory.

“So if he wants to get in here I’ll give him a final yoke, bare-knuckle if you want!”

McGregor’s Forged Irish Stout sponsored last night’s fight.

Responding to McGregor’s call out on social media, KSI mocked the former UFC champion’s beverage.

He wrote: “Good KO from AJ, shame Connor got him to drink that filth kmt [kiss my teeth]. Lmao [Laughing my a** off] just seen this.

“Jake Paul must be crying that I’ve got Connor on my d*** already and I didn’t even have to fight an MMA fighter.”

KSI, 30, is due to return to the ring against Jake Paul’s conqueror Tommy Fury in Manchester on October 14.

McGregor, meanwhile, is still due to fight Michael Chandler when he finally returns to the UFC octagon.

A date is yet to materialise, however, with McGregor still yet to return to the USADA testing pool.

After last night’s fight, McGregor was accused of trying to steal the limelight.

One fan wrote on social media: “He tried his best to make this whole show about him. It’s always the Conor McGregor show.”

While another added: “Conor McGregor in the front row of the AJ fight shadow boxing hahahaha absolute lemon.”

Joshua was quizzed on reaction from fans as he went toe-to-toe with a reporter in a post-bout press conference.

He was first asked if the crowd’s reaction had impacted his performance.

Joshua replied: “Not necessarily, I think they don’t understand it is competitive boxing.

“We are trying to shut each other’s advances down.

“I was watching certain fights tonight and they didn’t look as exciting as I thought they would.

“But it’s not that they don’t look exciting, it’s a game of chess, when you’re playing it is a thinking man’s sport.

“From the outside chess is a boring game, but everything I try to do they shut down.

He was also quizzed on if he was happy with his display, responding: “That is for my coach [Derrick James], I don’t really rate my performances, whatever the coach thinks.

“We can go back to the drawing board and I know there is a lot of things we can improve on.

“I felt better than I did in April [versus Jermaine Franklin] and that is the main thing.”

Joshua could next face Deontay Wilder in January if a deal can be sealed with the bout set to take place in Saudi Arabia.

CONOR MCGREGOR has been accused of trying to steal the limelight during Anthony Joshua’s win over Robert Helenius.

AJ knocked out the Finn in emphatic fashion in the sixth round of their O2 Arena clash last night.

Fans claimed Conor McGregor tried to make the show about him[/caption]

McGregor was in the front row for the contest and got fans talking because of his unusual antics.

The Notorious, who has not fought since breaking his leg in a defeat to Dustin Poirier two years ago, was seen shadowboxing during the contest.

Viewers found McGregor‘s behaviour ridiculous and claimed the fighter was trying to make the show about him.

One said: “He tried his best to make this whole show about him. It’s always the Conor McGregor show.”

Another added: “Conor McGregor in the front row of the AJ fight shadow boxing hahahaha absolute lemon.”

A third wrote: “What is Conor doing ”

And another commented: “Mcgregor has to be the star of the show everytime doesn’t he.”

McGregor entered the ring after the fight and decided to call out YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI after praising both Joshua and Helenius.

He told DAZN: “Greatness doesn’t rush. He took his time, he landed a big heavy shot. I’m just happy Helenius got up.

“The fans should be grateful for the Finn coming in, last minute replacement. No fear, he came in and put in a great performance. He did himself proud and his team.

“Big congrats to AJ, big congrats to Eddie. Big congrats to the UK.

“And I know your man KSI is in the crowd, and he couldn’t box eggs if he worked in an egg boxing factory. So if he wants to get in here I’ll give him a final yoke, bare-knuckle if you want.”

ANTHONY JOSHUA celebrated his win over Robert Helenius by swigging Conor McGregor’s Forged Irish Stout.

McGregor was in the house at the O2 Arena as his alcoholic beverage sponsored the show.

And he was joyous after AJ knocked Helenius out in round seven with a hellacious right hand.

Joshua, 33, immediately fled the ring and took a lap around in celebration, bumping into McGregor, 35.

And with a pint in his hand the Irishman fed AJ – who sported a bloodied nose – a sip of the creamy stout.

McGregor stole the show on the night as he called out YouTuber-turned boxer KSI – who was also ringside.

He said: “Big congrats to AJ, big congrats to Eddie, big congrats Forged Irish Stout.

“And I know your man KSI is in the crowd and he couldn’t box eggs if he worked in an egg boxing factory.

“So if he wants to get in here I’ll give him a final yoke, bare-knuckle if you want.”

Responding, KSI, 30, tweeted: “Lmao just seen this.

“Jake Paul must be crying that I’ve got Conor on my d*** already and I didn’t even have to fight an mma fighter.”

KSI returns on October 14 in Manchester against Tommy Fury, 24, who in February beat his arch rival Paul, 26.

Meanwhile, McGregor claimed his UFC comeback bout is set for December against Michael Chandler, 37.

ANTHONY JOSHUA leapt to KSI’s defence after being called a “b****.”

Both McGregor and KSI were ringside at the O2 Arena for Joshua’s knockout victory over Robert Helenius.

As soon as landing the finishing right hand, AJ, 33, leapt out of the ring for a victory lap around the ring.

He bumped into McGregor, 35, and swigged some of the UFC superstar’s Forged Irish Stout.

McGregor then pointed to KSI and called him a b**** but Joshua responded: “That’s my guy.”

One fan said: “AJ a real one.”

Another added: “Respect @anthonyjoshua for not going against a friend.”

McGregor went one further by calling out the YouTuber, 30, to a bare-knuckle fight in the ring.

He said: “Big congrats to AJ, big congrats to Eddie, big congrats Forged Irish Stout.

“And I know your man KSI is in the crowd and he couldn’t box eggs if he worked in an egg boxing factory.

ANTHONY JOSHUA celebrated his stunning KO win over Robert Helenius with a crude gesture.

The Brit crossed his arms and thrust his hips after delivering a peach of a right hand on his Finnish opponent.

Anthony Joshua celebrated his stunning KO win with a risque celebration[/caption]

The action was similar to what WWE Hall of Famers D-Generation X used to perform, known as the ‘crotch crop’.

The referee didn’t even need to start a count as Helenius crashed to the canvas in worrying fashion.

The 39-year-old was then given oxygen before thankfully getting back to his feet.

Joshua, who was bloody around the face, then exited the ring and celebrated his stunning stoppage success with fans ringside, fist-bumping some and hugging the lucky few.

And unlike in his last few fights, the Watford brawler didn’t seem to want the microphone after the victory.

Speaking to DAZN afterwards, AJ said: “People need to leave me alone, this is my time in the ring.

“Let me keep doing what I want to do. Helenius, I told him to come again. I think he can cause people a lot of problems.

“I don’t want to say too much. I want to see you again two more times this year. Thanks to Eddie.”

This was the punch that finished the night for Helenius[/caption]

The 33-year-old then spent a while posing for fans left in the O2 Arena.

But some of those inside the London venue were less-than impressed half way through the bout.

There were audible boos as Joshua seemed reluctant to fully engage his late-replacement opponent despite tagging him on the inside.

BOXING presenter Olivia Buzaglo stole the show at the O2 Arena ahead of Anthony Joshua’s fight.

AJ beat Nordic Nightmare Robert Helenius in a seventh round knockout after Dillian Whyte failed a drugs test.

But ahead of the fight, it was Buzaglo keeping fans glued to their TV’s.

She donned a black dress and blue blazer in a nice nod to her beloved Chelsea, who kick off their Premier League season against Liverpool tomorrow.

Buzaglo was present throughout DAZN‘s coverage of the build up doing interviews with a host of celebs.

She shared a video of an interview with promoter Eddie Hearn to her Instagram story.

While another interview saw her speaking to a very excitable KSI, who is set to return to the ring to face Tommy Fury on October 14.

Buzaglo has over 46,000 followers on Instagram.

She is often seen on Sky Sports.

And fans have fallen in love with her over the summer.

ROBERT HELENIUS was left needing an oxygen mask after Anthony Joshua’s breathtaking knockout.

AJ had to face Helenius on just seven days notice after Dillian Whyte was ruled out following a failed drug test.

And Joshua steadily built his way through the fight, which garnered boos from the crowd at points during the bout.

But AJ closed the show in emphatic style when a double jab was followed up with a hellacious right hand.

Immediately referee Victor Loughlin waved off the contest to give Joshua his first KO since 2020.

The two-time heavyweight world champion can now look ahead to a potential super-fight with Deontay Wilder in Saudi Arabia next year.

Eddie Hearn said: “We’ve got a three fight plan. Whether you like it or not, it’s Robert Helenius.

“It was supposed to be Dillian Whyte, Deontay Wilder and then Tyson Fury, that’s the ambition of the team.

“Whether you back Josh, whether you think he can do it or he can’t things have changed. He’s now a mature heavyweight.

“And I know everyone wants to see first, second, third round KOs but against Helenius he took his time and delivered one of the knockouts of the year.

“And we believe he can go and beat Deontay Wilder. Prince Khalid, Skills Challenge are here tonight we look to try and close that deal over the next few days.

“Josh is ready for that fight, he’s given everything to this sport, he’s given everything to British boxing.

“He’s ready now for some big marquee fights. Like I said, he’s smarter now, he’s going to take his time.

“No chances, no more losing and tonight you saw that, a guy that took his time, tried to find his range with the right hand and delivered it in devastating fashion.”

ANTHONY JOSHUA needs to jump in and fight Deontay Wilder while he still has a few loyal fans left.

Just three rounds into his warm-up fight with Robert Helenius tonight, thousands of his fickle followers turned on him and booed and whistled his cautious performance.

Joshua took a sip of Conor McGregor’s pint after victory[/caption]

The London 2012 gold and two heavyweight world title runs apparently meant nothing until he detonated a vicious right hand in round seven and ended the awkward affair then leaped into the ringside VIPs to celebrate with his real supporters.

Joshua walked out of his dressing room to the Godfather theme song, played by a solo violinist, but dressed in a blood-red robe straight out of the Scarface wardrobe.

Seven days before he had made Helenius an offer he could not refuse and now the London 2012 Brit legend had to collect.

He took to one knee to pray in the final seconds before the opening bell and caught the first Helenius combination on his guard.

The 33-year-old threw a couple of wild single right hands that missed and a left hook, showing dangerous intent but not much plan or technique.

The giant pair swapped jabs in the second, then a crisp right hand from AJ clipped the 39-year-old and made the crowd whoop.

The 10-1 Viking underdog slashed a right hook into Joshua’s ribs just before the bell but it bounced off his six-pack.

The ruthless crowd started whistling and booing before the third had barely started.

But AJ landed a big right hand that shocked Helenius and silenced the jeers briefly.

And a straight rocket of a right bounced Helenius back into the ropes in round four and blood started seeping down from his nose and staining his moustache.

Just as the fifth started it appeared Joshua had welts growing around both of his eyes, despite not appearing to have taken any damaging digs.

And he ended the round on a high, a sweet left hook landing and making Helenius stagger around the ring before the bell intervened.

AJ’s nose was leaking blood by the seventh but then he landed the incredible shot that felled 6ft 8in Helenius like a giant tree.

And he jumped into the audience to thank those real fans he knows will stick by him now and in January in Saudi Arabia if the Wilder showdown is secured.

Joshua – who took a sip out of Conor McGregor’s pint – said: “I want to give Helenius a round of applause for saving the show.

“This is my time in the ring, I told Helenius to come again because he has talent and I had to work him out.

“A loss on your record can be like a suicide but he will come back.”

Then he joked: “Is there a doctor in here because my back has gone from carrying this heavyweight division to the top!”

CONOR McGREGOR broke boxing protocol by entering the ring before Anthony Joshua’s fight.

The UFC superstar cut short a family holiday to make sure he was in the house at the O2 Arena.

His Irish Forged Stout was an official sponsor of the show and McGregor took a seat ringside for the night.

But before Derek Chisora controversially beat Gerald Washington, the Irishman strutted around the ring.

He even posed for a picture with promoter Eddie Hearn.

But what McGregor, 35, did not realise is that he actually broke British Boxing Board of Control protocol.

As only BBBoC licence holders are allowed in the ring.

McGregor had gifted Joshua a box of his Irish Forged Stout earlier in the week and hailed the ex-champion.

He tweeted: “This man @anthonyjoshua is the definition of class, quality, and loyalty!

“What him and @EddieHearn have built is just absolute magic!

“I cannot wait to witness AJ Powerhouse do work this weekend and live from ringside! Wow! Honored! Let’s go!”

McGregor watched in awe as Joshua closed the show in round seven against Robert Helenius.

A right hand left Helenius out for the count and McGregor celebrated with Joshua by giving him a sip of his stout.

JOHHNY FISHER left opponent Harry Armstrong needing oxygen after a brutal stoppage victory.

The pair battled for the vacant Southern Area heavyweight title on Anthony Joshua’s O2 Arena undercard.

Harry Armstrong was left cut above his right eye[/caption]

And Fisher forced the finish in the eighth round after a barrage of punches that forced his team to throw in the towel.

Armstrong was cut on his right eye and was provided an oxygen mask in the corner but thankfully made it to his feet.

Fisher, 24, said: “Harry Armstrong, what a tough man. After the first round, he showed the heart of a warrior.

“Big props to Harry Armstrong.”

Fisher came flying out of the traps from the first bell and scored a knockdown within the opening ten seconds.

He bulldozed into Armstrong and a right hand caused him to hit the canvas.

Fisher applied the pressure but could not get the job done in the first three minutes.

It was largely one-way traffic from then on but Armstrong grew into the fight as it progressed.

But in round eight, a right hand while Armstrong was on the ropes caused a second knockdown and a gruesome cut.

This time, Fisher was not going to let his man off the hook and he rushed in with a string of combinations.

Before long, Armstrong’s corner threw in the towel to crown Fisher the new Southern Area champion.

ANTHONY JOSHUA vs Robert Helenius almost collapsed at very late notice when a glove dispute erupted.

The fight WILL go ahead on Saturday night, but there has been untold drama behind the scenes.

The heavy weight contest almost collapsed over a tense glove dispute[/caption]

TalkSPORT reported that Robert Helenius and his team attended the gloves selection after Friday’s weigh-in.

This is usually a routine inspection where each camp gets to confirm that there is no corruption going on with their opposition’s gloves.

However, Helenius’ team – who stepped in for Dillion Whyte just last week– were left fuming with what they uncovered.

The 39-year-old’s camp complained about what they viewed as a limited amount of padding on AJ’s gloves compared to their own.

However, the British Boxing Board of Control official in the room confirmed that they were approved for use in the UK.

Helenius himself could be heard exploding over the issue.

The Swedish born boxer blasted profanities: “This is f***ing ridiculous”.

“That’s f***ing bulls***, disgusting bulls****.

“Put the same gloves on my hands, f***ing bulls***. I need exactly the same gloves.

“They are not the same gloves. Everybody knows here what the f*** is going on.”

The Finn was given a choice from various brands but was not happy with Joshua’s pair, which was chosen from a collection of Leone gloves.

A tense argument then broke out between Helenius’ side and Eddie Hearn’s right-hand man Frank Smith.

Ultimately the fiasco was resolved and they shook hands at the end of the meeting on the guarantee that they would get the same gloves.

But Helenius was left raging during the glove selection process due to the level of padding.

The British Boxing Board of Control cleared both gloves selected by the headliners.

But Helenius fumed: “This is f***ing ridiculous.”

Post 14804717 at The Sun

DEREK Chisora is a British professional boxer who has been in the game for over 15 years, during which time he has amassed an impressive fortune.

Being well respected for never ducking a fight, Chisora has battled the best, and although he’s won a lot more than he’s lost, his record reflects this bravery.

Who is Derek Chisora?

Derek Chisora was born in Mbare, a suburb of Harare, the Zimbabwe capital city, on December 29 1983.

In 1999, Chisora’s family moved to Finchley, London. In 2002, he was involved in a street fight and was arrested for assault after knocking a victim’s teeth out.

His parole officer advised him to take up boxing. He was trained on the fundamentals by Joe Smyth and turned pro in 2007.

What is Derek Chisora’s boxing record?

At present Chisora’s impressive record stands at 33 wins, 13 losses and 0 draws.

During those 33 wins Derek has stopped 23 of his opponents, so his current knock-out ratio is 70%.

In his 13 losses, he’s been stopped 4 times.

He’s boxed a total of 314 rounds, meaning his professional fights last 6.8 rounds on average.

What is Derek Chisora’s net worth?

Boxing is big business and Del Boy has certainly earned his money over the past few years.

Chisora, 39, still harbours world title hopes and has fought 42 times as a professional, winning 32 of those bouts.

Never one to back down from a challenge, he’s faced – and beaten – some of the biggest names in boxing over the past decade.

Chisora has gone up against Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte, Vitali Klitschko, Carlos Takam and David Haye since 2011 – and has earnt well in the process.

And he has proved that he has still got it after convincingly beating Kubrat Pulev in their gruelling grudge match.

He told the Telegraph: “The pay cheques grow very fast.

“So from £5,000 to £20,000, then £80,000 to £100,000 and then £200,000, then £500,000 then £900,000 then £1.5m.

“It keeps going up but sometimes there can be a title fight and there will be no money involved.

“I know guys that are fighting to defend their titles and they’re getting paid about £50,000.

“But you can make more money in the heavyweight game than you ever make in any other sport.”

The biggest fight purses so far in his career have come against Oleksandr Usyk, where Del Boy pocketed a cool £4.4million, and his trilogy fight with Tyson Fury, where he took home £4.5million.

As of summer 2023, Chisora’s net worth is estimated to be around £12m.

Is Derek Chisora married and does he have any children?

Derek Chisora is married to his longtime partner Emily Eringer.

The two got together in 2012, but it is not clear when the couple tied the knot, and very little is known about Chisora’s wife.

Derek and Emily are the proud parents of two daughters, Angelina and Harare.

JOHNNY Fisher is an undefeated, up-and-coming professional boxer from London.

Fisher fights at Heavyweight and his nickname is The Romford Bull.

Who is Johnny Fisher?

Johnny Fisher is a 24-year-old heavyweight boxer from Romford, London Borough of Havering, England, who goes by the moniker The Romford Bull.

Johnny played rugby as well as boxing before turning professional and says the physicality of the sport was good preparation for a career as a fighter.

He started boxing as a child, but stopped in his early teens, only to pick it up again during his second year of university when he sparred with Joe Joyce. The two boxers formed a good relationship and Johnny sparred with Joe as he prepared for his heavyweight contest against Daniel Dubois.

Fisher explained that Joyce’s “force has brought my strength along too” and that he is the “closest thing he has seen to a real-life human wrecking machine”.

What is Johnny Fisher’s boxing record?

At present Johnny’s immaculate record stands at 9 wins, 0 loses, and 0 draws, meaning he is currently undefeated.

During those 9 wins Fisher has stopped 8 of his opponents, so his current knock-out ratio is 89%.

In total he’s boxed 22 rounds, meaning his professional fights last 2.4 rounds on average.

Is Johnny Fisher related to Big John?

‘Big John‘ Fisher is the father of Johnny Fisher, and has arguably become more recognisable than him.

He has amassed a loyal legion of fans on social media by documenting his life, mainly focussing on his love of Chinese cuisine and Luton FC — always signing off his videos with his catchphrase “Bosh”.

Back in the days before he took to TikTok, Big John was a boxer himself.

The 49-year-old social media star has over 200,0000 followers on TikTok alone.

Is Johnny Fisher on TikTok?

Yes, Johnny Fisher IS on TikTok.

Johnny’s handle on the social media platform is @theromfordbull.

As well as appearing in videos with his famous father, he also posts about his boxing career, training regime, and family.

Fisher also posts hilarious clips spoofing Hollywood movies such as Gladiator and Rocky.

BOXING matches involving Anthony Joshua are almost guaranteed to fill up the venue – so it’s only fair that his bank account gets filled up once again TONIGHT after the Robert Helenius bout.

From securing a gold medal at the London 2012 Olympics to unifying the WBA, IBO and WBO titles in 2018, the British superstar has had a fantastic career in boxing so far.

And now, another chapter is set to be added to Joshua’s incredible journey when the world witnesses him take on Robert Helenius in a tasty bout at the O2 Arena in London.

But fans want to know much AJ has earned over the years.

What is Anthony Joshua’s net worth?

Anthony Joshua has earned an estimated amount of £200million from fights, but that will certainly increase after Saturday’s showdown with Robert Helenius.

The British superstar pocketed a reported £15m alone from his iconic Wembley clash with Wladimir Klitschko in 2017.

And Joshua’s victory against Joseph Parker a year later saw him take home a little bit less in £13m.

However, AJ collected a staggering £66m when he reclaimed his WBA, IBF, IBO and WBO titles against Andy Ruiz in December 2019.

Before walking home with a reported combined total of £75m after his disappointing defeats to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022.

In Joshua’s most recent fight against Jermain Franklin, AJ walked away with a cool £10m, according to reports.

Not to mention that the British heavy hitter owns 258 MGT, who oversee some of the top British boxers, is sponsored by Under Amour, and Joshua has been the face of lynx deodorant for a number of years.

How much is Anthony Joshua getting for the Robert Helenius fight?

It is yet to be revealed how much the British heavyweight will receive for his upcoming battle with Robert Helenius.

‘The Nordic Nightmare’ stepped in on the week of the fight after Joshua’s original opponent Dillian Whyte returned an ‘adverse finding’ from his VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Association) testing.

The scheduled rematch between Joshua and Whyte was due to be on DAZN pay-per-view, but now as the bout is not as big, it will no longer be on PPV, meaning the British heavyweight will take home considerably less money.

AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn told talkSPORT: “We are taking the fight off pay-per-view.

“The financial difference to Joshua in this fight is astounding, but he wants to fight, and in terms of non pay-per-view cards, I think this is one of the strongest we’ve ever done.”

ANTHONY JOSHUA returns to the ring this weekend for a short-notice showdown with Robert Helenius.

The former unified heavyweight champion continues his career rebuild with a hastily-put-together clash with The Nordic Nightmare at The O2 Arena on Saturday night.

AJ will be hoping to continue his winning run after beating Jermaine Franklin[/caption]

He was due to fight Dillian Whyte but he failed multiple pre-fight drug tests[/caption]

AJ – who returned to the win column in April with a decision win over Jermaine Franklin – was initially due to face long-time rival Dillian Whyte in a trilogy fight.

But their domestic dust-up was scrapped last weekend when it emerged that Brixton bad boy Whyte had failed multiple pre-fight drug tests.

Joshua and Helenis, 33 and 39 respectively, took part in a fiery final face-off after Friday afternoon’s weigh-ins at Westfield Shepherd’s Bush.

The staredown left most fight fans wondering if Joshua will be able back up his uncharacteristic weigh-in trash talk and blow his one-time sparring partner out of the water.

But some boxing fans are wondering how their respective bank balances stack up agaisnt one another.

What is Anthony Joshua’s net worth?

In of 2020, Forbes had the Watford warrior’s net worth at a whopping £38.1million ($47million).

His current net worth will likely be significantly higher than that figure due to his lucrative sponsorship deals and back-to-back showdowns with Oleksandr Usyk – the most recent of which took place in Saudi Arabia last August.

Joshua is understood to have taken home a staggering £33million for his ill-fated bid to reclaim the unified heavyweight titles.

Millionaire status is something AJ dreamed of when he began his career, but his sights are now set on becoming a billionaire.

He told GQ: “When I first started, the aim was to become a multi-millionaire.

“But now there are ordinary people, grandmas and grandads, who are worth millions just because of property prices.

“So, the new school of thought is that I need to be a billionaire.

“Being a millionaire is good but you have to set your sights higher.”

What is Robert Helenius’ net worth?

Veteran heavyweight Helenius hasn’t taken part in a single fight which can be considered as incredibly lucrative.

 Anthony Joshua vs Robert Helenius: How to watch, UK start time, live stream details

The Swedish-born Finn reportedly took home a cool £1million for his brutal first-round KO defeat to Deontay Wilder last October.

But according to reports, the veteran heavyweight has accrued a net worth of £4million ($5million) in his 36-fight career.

Joshua’s cancelled clash with Whyte was set to earn him a pretty penny as it was a pay-per-view offering on DAZN.

But the international broadcaster made his clash with Helenius available to their regular subscribers following Whyte’s withdrawal.

And promoter Eddie Hearn has claimed AJ’s purse for his second outing of the year took a major hit as a result of Whyte’s third career-failed drugs test.

The Matchroom Boxing chief told talkSPORT: “We are taking the fight off pay-per-view.

“The financial difference to Joshua in this fight is astounding.

“But he wants to fight and in terms of non-pay-per-view cards, I think this is one of the strongest we’ve ever done.”

However, the bout was forced to be cancelled after ‘The Body Snatcher’ returned an ‘adverse finding’ from his VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Association) testing.

Joshua will be in action for the first time since he beat Jermaine Franklin on points in April.

Whereas his opponent, Helenius, fought in Finland just last week, beating Mika Mielonen by way of TKO.

But how much will both fighters get paid for their huge fight at the O2?

How much will Anthony Joshua and Robert Helenius get paid?

There is currently no confirmed sum on how much the rivals will get paid for their clash on Saturday night.

However, it has been reported that there will be a total purse of £9.5million on offer.

Anthony Joshua will receive a guaranteed fee of £8million, while his opponent Helenius will claim £1.5million, according to reports.

AJ was also due a large payout from the PPV sales should the fight with Dillian Whyte gone ahead.

But as the initial bout was cancelled, Joshua vs Helenius isn’t deemed big enough to put on PPV and will be available for DAZN’s standard subscription holders.

AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn told talkSPORT: “We are taking the fight off pay-per-view.

“The financial difference to Joshua in this fight is astounding, but he wants to fight, and in terms of non pay-per-view cards, I think this is one of the strongest we’ve ever done.”

The WBC heavyweight champion, 34, faces the MMA superstar in a controversial crossover clash in Saudi Arabia on October 28.

Derek Chisora has claimed Fury will pocket £39million for the fight[/caption]

Fury has been publicly slammed for taking a fight with the boxing rookie following the collapse of his undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

But former opponent Derek Chisora has defended The Gypsy King, telling FightHub TV: “They don’t know how much Tyson’s getting paid.

“That’s why they criticise him.”

Fury is expected to pocket the biggest purse of his professional career for his desert dust-up with Ngannou.

And according to Chisora, he’ll take home a cool £39million for his ten-rounder with The Predator.

Del Boy – who suffered a tenth-round TKO loss to his fellow Brit last December said: “He’s getting paid $50 mil.”

Fury is expected to resume negotiations over a historic and legacy-defining undisputed fight with unified heavyweight champion Usyk after his showdown with Ngannou.

But the Wythenshawe warrior recently admitted he could RETIRE after his clash with the former UFC heavyweight champion.

“But I just feel like I’m getting better and more intelligent as I’m getting older.

“So who knows how long I’ve got left?

“Maybe not long, maybe a year, maybe two years. Maybe one fight.

TOMMY FURY had fans fearing for KSI after releasing a recent training picture.

The celebrity boxing rivals are scheduled to fight on October 14 in Manchester.

KSI is set to fight Tommy Fury on October 14[/caption]

And Fury already looks to be in fighting shape as he revealed a snap in the gym flexing his biceps – with fans already warning KSI.

One said: “Holy f***, Ksi is finished.”

Another added: “JJ is in trouble.”

One asked: “How is he in the same weight class as KSI?”

Fury is coming off a split-decision win over KSI’s arch rival Jake Paul in February.

But Paul, 26, snubbed a rematch to instead return against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, which he won over ten rounds on points.

So KSI, 30, turned his attention to Fury, 24, and after four long months of negotiations, a deal was struck.

KSI claimed Paul rejected the chance to settle their bitter score so it led him to challenge the American’s conqueror instead.

He said: “I came back to boxing to show the world the crazy levels I’m at.

“I’ve shown through obliterating all my past opponents that I am the best in this scene.

“KO after KO has now led me to the toughest fight in the influencer boxing scene.

“I’m fighting Tommy Fury. The man that defeated the once undefeated Jake Paul is now my opponent and I can’t wait to silence all the doubters that believe I have no chance.

BOXER Maisey Rose Courtney thanked Anthony Joshua for keeping her undercard fight alive – so she doesn’t have to go back to work just yet.

Courtney features on AJ’s card on Saturday night at the O2 Arena against Gemma Ruegg.

But that bout and the event itself faced the KO after Dillian Whyte was withdrawn amid a failed drug test.

Thankfully for Courtney & Co, Robert Helenius filled in on seven days notice to make sure the shows does go on.

Courtney, 22, told SunSport: “I thank the lot of them.

“I thank Eddie for doing it, all of Matchroom, DAZN, Anthony Joshua of course and even Helenius for taking the fight.

“I’m just grateful that it’s actually happening.”

Courtney ensures she gets more ring time and another purse to her name but she will have to wait a little longer to snack out.

She said: “I would definitely have ate a little bit more. I haven’t been eating a lot.

“I would have treated myself to maybe a packet of crisps or some chips, then straight back to it.

“I haven’t got time to be wasting weeks and months because a fight has been called off. I want to be fighting.”

Courtney works as a PT and coach at former world champion Darren Barker’s 12×3 Boxing club in London.

And had she been denied the chance to return on the weekend, then the flyweight would have rocked up for her Saturday session as normal.

She said: “I would have had to have gone back to work. I would’ve gone back to PTing people and teaching classes.

“Without that, I don’t have any other way of getting through the month, that’s my pay.”

Courtney’s class are still due to see her this week as they continue to show their support to the prospect prizefighter.

She said: “I’ve got loads of regulars that come actually. They support me massively. They see the hard work that I put in.

“They see me with a black eye, when I’ve been beaten up in sparring.”

Courtney prepares for her fourth professional bout and steps up in class against Ruegg, who beat her last opponent Kate Radomska.

She said: “This is a good step up for me, she’s the one person that beat my last opponent.

“So now I’m ready for that step up, I’m ready to fight someone that’s tougher. I like getting drawn into the fight and Gemma does that.”

The entire combat sports world will be waiting with bated breath to see if AJ can continue to breathe new life into his career with a highlight-reel knockout.

MMA legend McGregor is rooting for Joshua to do the business, so much so that he sent him a care package of his newly-released Forged Stout.

Upon receiving the four-pack of stout, a chuffed AJ said: “My guys!

“I’ll crack this open and tell you later.”

Joshua, 33, then sent a personal message to The Notorious’ way, saying: “Just be happy.

“You seem happy and that’s all that matters in life at the end of the day.

“Long may the success continue.

“And when I’m out in Ireland one day, I’ll visit the pub but I want drinks for free though!”

The golden boy of British boxing bounced back from consecutive defeats to former pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk with a scrappy points win over Jermaine Franklin in April.

AJ’s ring return this weekend was due to a be trilogy bout with longtime rival Dillian Whyte, although a failed drug test for the Brixton Body Snatcher laid waste to their domestic dust-up.

He said: “This wasn’t in the script. I respect Helenius and may I say, I respect any male or female who steps into the ring.

“I am laser-focused on the win.

“I can make steps forward to bigger and better things but the road map has a checkpoint, Saturday night. May the best man win.”

GERALD WASHINGTON might just have the answers for the greatest fantasy fights in the current heavyweight division.

After all, he has shared the ring in some shape or form with the best of them.

Anthony Joshua and Gerald Washington sparred in 2020[/caption]

Washington was beaten by Deontay Wilder in 2017 but they later linked up as sparring partners.

Similarly, Anthony Joshua recruited the 6ft 6in American for his camp before beating Kubrat Pulev in 2020.

Oleksandr Usyk, Andy Ruiz Jr and even ex-heavyweight champions of the past like Wladimir Klitschko have also called on Washington’s services.

And when he steps into the ring with Derek Chisora on Saturday night, it will not be for the first time as they sparred dating back to 2016.

So Washington has almost experienced it all and lives to gush about the talent he has graced the ring with.

He told SunSport: “Everybody brings something different to the table.

“If you want power, you’ve got Deontay Wilder. If you want class boxing fundamentals then you’ve got Joshua.

“If you want ring IQ and hard work, Usyk is a crazy guy to learn from. And even Derek Chisora, what he brings to the table is all heart.

BETTING SPECIAL – BEST NO DEPOSIT CASINO OFFERS

“He comes to get it, he works hard and he’s a grinder. That’s a skill in itself, that’s hard to do.

“He’s putting in a lot of hard rounds for our entertainment, we’re grateful for him and that’s why he’s a hero here in the UK.”

Washington, 41, and Chisora, 38, provide undercard action for Joshua’s return on Saturday night at the O2 Arena.

But the event faced the KO when AJ’s initial opponent Dillian Whyte, 35, was pulled out amid a failed drug test.

Robert Helenius, 39, has since subbed in to save the day but Washington was also considered although later overlooked.

He said: “We were ready to go. We’ve been working for a long time now and we was ready to go to put it together.

“But, they chose Robert Helenius and we’ll get him next time.”

Joshua, 33, will step foot in the ring knowing he is one win away from a super-fight in Saudi Arabia against Deontay Wilder, 37.

And Wilder is a training partner and friend of Washington’s as they share the same coach, Malik Scott.

But Washington admits he would have had no qualms in taking the bout with AJ despite Wilder’s impending blockbuster with the Brit star.

He said: “I mean, s*** if it was going to come my way it was going to come my way.

“If the cards fall as they lie, you just have to take it as they come. We were worried about what we’re in control of and that’s it.

“Now we’ve got Derek Chisora on the plate and that’s all we’ve prepared for.”
