      Tyson Fury’s comeback fight plans revealed with Brit wanting to take on Game of Thrones star or a Derek Chisora trilogy

      by

      TYSON FURY has a couple of crazy ideas for his boxing comeback.The 33-year-old WBC Gypsy King signed off on his April 23 knockout of Dillian Whyte by teasing a cross-sport showdown with UFC heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou.

      But the Cameroonian giant – who was in the Wembley ring after the brilliant uppercut KO – is still recovering from a knee injury.
      Game of Thrones actor Hafthor Bjornsson was top of Fury’s hit list for an exhibition bout at Tottenham Stadium.
      The giant pair have gone back-and-forth on social media but Fury’s backers understandably remain unsure on how that celebrity spectacle would sell on the turnstiles and pay-per-view television.
      Fury’s back-up plan is a third fight with old mate Derek Chisora – who he already has two convincing wins over – but again it looks like a hard sell.

      Few fans interested in seeing the undefeated 6ft 9in champ in against a popular but battle-worn 38-year-old.
      The British heavyweight pair are firm friends but even started drumming up some faux needle after Del Boy backed Whyte to beat Fury when they finally met on St George’s Day.
      Spurs – who hosted Anthony Joshua’s September loss to Oleksandr Usyk – play away at Bournemouth on October 29 and that date and venue is fancied by Team Fury.
      The Mexico-based WBC gave the Morecambe mastermind a year to decide on his future because there is no clear mandatory challenger pushing for a shot at Fury’s belt.

      No1 contender Deontay Wilder is teasing a comeback, after returning to training this week.
      While No3 ranked Joseph Parker and No2 ranked Joe Joyce are trying to arrange a fight between themselves for this autumn.
      That leaves Fury free to enjoy his “retirement” while still training like a Trojan and coming up with money-spinning ideas to keep himself in shape.
      The WWE is hosting a huge Cardiff show on September 3 – dubbed the Clash at the Castle – and the Gypsy King would be a perfect addition to the show.
      But the cash on offer is nothing like the staggering £11million he earned from wrestling in Saudi Arabia for the American brand in 2019.
      Everyone in boxing expects Fury to leap out of retirement and face the winner of AJ vs Usyk 2 on August 20, to decide an undisputed heavyweight emperor.

      Joshua, 32, would certainly be the more lucrative fight for Fury, the biggest in the history of British sport.
      And even if the Watford ace loses again to the Ukraine southpaw, there’s always a chance Fury and his devoted WBC sanctioning body find a way for him to fight Joshua instead of Usyk.

      Mike Tyson would KO sparring partners quickly so he could get home in time for Tom and Jerry, says ex-bodyguard

      by

      MIKE Tyson would destroy training partners in minutes not for pleasure – but to just get home quickly to watch TV. Tyson often turned a planned five-hour sparring session into less than 60 minutes of destruction because he was desperate to watch cartoons.

      That is the insight from Tyson’s confidante, ex bodyguard and chauffeur Rudy Gonzalez, who had a ringside seat at fights and home battles during the New Yorker’s rise to infamy.
      Speaking earlier this year, Gonzalez said: “When we trained in Vegas his sparring sessions were from 12 to 5pm.
      “He would be the nicest guy beforehand asking the sparring partners: ‘How you doing today, how’s the family?’
      “Then he would just knock five guys out so within an hour there was nobody left.

      “I saw him punch the heavy bag so hard it broke a few times from the chains and the other boxers would just leave saying: ‘we are not f****** with you today. I do not care how much money you pay me.’
      “Anyone who felt they were up for taking him on, he would hit them and they’d snap. Soon after they would pack their bags.
      “So one day I asked: ‘Boss I am confused, isn’t this about working on techniques?
      “He replied: ‘If I keep it going we will miss Tom and Jerry cartoons.’”

      Tyson, who returned to the ring in an eight-round exhibition with Roy Jones Jr in 2020, has retained his love for cartoons, making his own Mike Tyson Mysteries series for Adult Swim.
      Gonzalez was by Tyson’s side as he rose from the most terrifying teenage boxer in history to become the youngest heavyweight champion of all time aged 20.
      Under the guidance of legendary trainer Cus D’Amato, who became Tyson’s legal guardian after serving time in juvenile prison, he transformed from teen criminal into a street fighting hoodlum and ultimately a polished power punching boxing phenom.
      While living with D’Amato at his Catskills home, his training was far more regimented.
      D’Amato passed months before Tyson became heavyweight champion in 1986.
      BUILDING A BOXING FRANKENSTEIN
      Gonzalez said: “When I first worked with him he had to be home by 9pm, because we were running 10 miles in the morning.
      “His manager Jim Jacob and trainer Kevin Rooney along with Cus would make sure I enforced that training schedule.
      “Mike was so disciplined. He would sit upstairs in the house studying boxing films for hours, seeing how different fighters moved and hit.
      “Cus was injecting him with centuries of training. The peek a boo technique – it felt so clean and natural for him. Cus built a boxing Frankenstein.
      “Cus would repeat over and over to Mike from the beginning, ‘Do you know you’re going to be heavyweight champion of the world someday?’
      “If you say it enough times, you believe it. And if you believe it, then you’ll have no doubt.”
      Gonzalez, whose book about his Tyson experiences – The Inner Ring – is being developed into an animated movie, added that other staff were terrified of Tyson during his training time.
      Gonzalez has made headlines in the past with his book about his time with Tyson, pointing the finger at promoter Don King for many of the star’s troubles.
      He claims King ‘psychologically broke him’, adding: “Mike’s story would have had a different ending if Cus had lived longer.
      “His sister Denise always made me promise to keep Mike away from Don, calling him a clown.”
      He claimed that he witnessed ‘deceit, betrayal, and fraud perpetrated’ upon Tyson

      Jack, who is preparing to face Richard Rivera on the undercard of Anthony Joshua’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, posted a picture of himself with the Bronze Bomber on Instagram.
      He wrote: “Good to see @bronzebomber back in the gym today 💪🏾.”
      Wilder, 36, beamed in the photo after his session in Las Vegas.
      The former WBC heavyweight champion is readying himself to get back in action, having last fought in October 2021.

      After losing his trilogy bout with Tyson Fury, Wilder will be aiming to get himself back in the title picture.
      Having snubbed a call out from Derek Chisora, the American is targeting a more high-profile bout.
      Former cruiserweight world champion Johnny Nelson revealed that he thinks Wilder won’t fight again after having his “pride hurt” by Fury.
      But Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel reckons that his man will face the winner of Usyk and Joshua.

      He told Planet Sport: “Maybe the winner of Usyk and Joshua. I don’t know what Fury is doing?
      “Maybe if Joshua wins it’s a huge fight in the UK – there’s so many intangibles so we’re looking to see what happens in that fight [Usyk v Joshua 2].
      “I don’t care what Fury says, we’re waiting to see what he really wants to do because if he wants to fight the winner then he’s going to get it. But after that, where are the top guys?
      “There’s only four real top guys in the heavyweights right now – Usyk, Joshua, Fury and Deontay.”
      Another option would be Andy Ruiz Jr, with Joshua’s former conqueror admitting he would “love” to face Wilder.
      Frank Warren, meanwhile, thinks that the 36-year-old will return against Robert Helenius later this year.

      He told talkSPORT: “Deontay is fighting in October; he’s coming back, and they’re talking about him fighting [Helenius], and that’ll be in the States.
      “I’d love to do that fight, but he’s [Deontay] coming off a bad knockout. There’s no doubt about that was a bad knockout against Tyson Fury, who was a tough fight for him.”

      KSI offers to let Jake Paul take on Tommy Fury on undercard of Alex Wassabi clash after Hasim Rahman Jr fight axe

      by

      KSI has offered Jake Paul the chance to fight Tommy Fury on the undercard of his upcoming clash with Alex Wassabi.Paul, 25, was due to face Hasim Rahman Jr at New York’s famed Madison Square Garden next weekend.

      But following a weight disagreement between the two, the entire pay-per-view event was axed.
      Rahman signed to fight at the 14st 4lb cruiserweight limit of 200lb, despite being 16 stone in his last fight in April.
      And he also had to weigh in at 215lb on the morning of the bout with 25 per cent of his purse lost for every 1lb overweight.
      It meant if Rahman went just 4lb over, he would have been left with the $5,000 minimum.
      READ MORE BOXING
      Due to Rahman’s heavy weight cut, the New York State Athletic Commission wanted to track his process.
      Paul said with only a week out, the NYSAC changed the fight weight to 205lb.
      But once Rahman allegedly demanded to come in at 215lb, the bout was soon called off.
      Prior to this latest setback, “The Problem Child” has had two fights with Fury fall through in the space of six months – which led to Rahman initially stepping in as a replacement.

      A visa issue prevented ex-Love Island star Fury from entering America for that showdown – although Paul is adamant that the WBC champion Tyson Fury’s brother is just “scared” to face him.
      However, another one of the YouTuber’s bitter rivals has offered to help him get the fight on in England.
      KSI is currently preparing to headline his own event in London against Wassabi – and he is ready to let Paul on the card to battle Fury.
      According to TalkSport’s Michael Benson, he said: “Jake should’ve accepted my offer, should’ve fought on my undercard,.
      “There’s still time, you can fight Tommy Fury on my undercard.”
      KSI and Wassabi will go one-on-one at the O2 Arena on Saturday 27 August.
      Paul, who is 5-0 in the ring, had a heated face-off with fellow YouTuber KSI – real name Olajide Olatunji – after winning his professional debut against AnEson Gib in January 2020.
      Their staredown came two months after KSI’s controversial split-decision victory over Paul’s older brother Logan in November 2019.

      But the British star will get his shot at redemption on August 20 in Saudi Arabia.
      Haye picked Joshua to win that first fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and is backing him again.
      However, he insists that AJ must push the rules as far as he can to reclaim the belts from Usyk.
      The Hayemaker told Gareth A. Davies: “I’m going to go with Anthony Joshua again.

      “I went with him in a big way in the first fight. He didn’t fight in the manner which I thought he was going to that I think would have given him the best chance of winning.
      “He applied probably the worst tactics you could do against a southpaw. Gave him range, was respectful inside, in close.
      “There were no warnings from the ref about deducting points because he never imposed himself.”
      And urging him to employ the dark arts, Haye added: “I think he’s [Joshua] watched it back and knows what he needs to do.

      “He’s got a good team who’s gonna drill it into him that this is not a boxing match, this has got to be a dog fight from the first bell.
      “He should be this close to getting a point deducted or disqualified, that’s how physical he needs to be because he’s a specimen like no other in the heavyweight division.
      “He is physically the supreme heavyweight right now.“He just needs to apply that into a style that’s useful and last time round it wasn’t very useful at all and this time around he really has to do it. And I believe he will do it.” More

      A huge left hook ended the contest prematurely as the Londoner extended his near-perfect record to 18-1.
      But according to Big Fight Weekend, while Dubois may have left with the belt, he didn’t leave with any of the purse money owed to him.
      It has been said that Dynamite sued Don King Productions in Florida on Monday night alleging breach of contract.
      The news outlet claims King, 90, is yet to pay him for his victory in the States – of which he is owed 45 per cent of the $3,116,001 [£2.56m] purse, which amounts to a whopping £1.15m.

      And it has been stated in a copy of the lawsuit which has been obtained by Big Fight Weekend, Dubois is suing for between £380k-£771k.
      The big difference in the sum of money is claimed to be because Dubois is unsure whether King paid the sanctioning fees to the WBA.
      Dubois’ attorney Leon Margules told BFW on Tuesday: “The fighter hasn’t gotten paid.
      “And when boxers get in the ring and risk their lives the most important obligation of the promoter, the sanctioning body and the commission is to see that they are paid, and that hasn’t been done here.”

      Following Dubois’ stunning win, he called out compatriot Dillian Whyte where he declared he will be “getting it”.
      Speaking immediately after claiming the WBA’s secondary strap, Dubois roared: “I am ready for whoever is next. 
      “I believe this will instantly make me a better fighter now. 
      “When you win the world title they say you become next level so names like Dillian Whyte and Joseph Parker are all on my hitlist. 
      “I will fight whoever Frank [Warren] puts me in with next. It has been amazing.
      “Coming out here and winning a world title is what I dreamed of as a little kid and now it has finally happened.” More

      Commonwealth Games boxer Billy McAllister suffers horror cut from clash of heads that sees bout halted in final round

      by

      AUSTRALIAN boxer Billy McAllister suffered a horror 3cm cut over his left eye following a clash of heads with Jamaica’s Jerone Ellis in their Commonwealth Games scrap.Monday night’s last-16 bout between the two light-heavyweights had to be halted in the last round following the gruesome blow to the Aussie’s face.

      And the cut ended McAllister’s chance for a Commonwealth medal in Birmingham with the fight going to the judges scorecards.
      Ellis was deemed to be the victor with a tight 3-2 split decision verdict, with all five judges giving the second round to McAllister.
      The premature ending will likely see calls for headguards to be reintroduced after the IBA scrapped them in competition after the London 2012 Olympic Games.
      Following the removal of headguards, boxers are more prone to cuts as their eyebrow area is now not protected during clinches.

      The official was conducting a fight between Cameroon’s Maxime Yegnong Njieyo and India’s Sagar Ahlawat when she got a little closer to the action than she’d have liked.
      Yegnong Njieyo loaded up a huge left hook, only to get it badly wrong.
      After missing Ahlawat his momentum saw him swing right into the referee’s face.
      Incredibly, she hardly even blinked, taking the blow with remarkable poise before continuing the fight.
      Yegnong Njieyo couldn’t seem to land as many tough shots on his actual opponent, going on to lose comfortably. More

      Vergil Ortiz Jr vs Michael McKinson: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel, undercard for welterweight clash

      by

      VERGIL ORTIZ JR takes on his next test in the welterweight division – Brit fighter Michael McKinson. McKinson goes into the fight as a massive underdog but is heralded as an awkward southpaw who can make his opponent’s night’s work very tricky.

      The Portsmouth man beat Chris Kongo on points last year on the Dillian Whyte vs Alexander Povetkin 2 undercard, and is confident of another big win here.
      But Ortiz Jr is one of the hottest prospects in American boxing, and is being tipped for world honours one day.
      His record is 18-0, with all 18 of those fights ending in a stoppage, and it includes wins over career contender Egis Kavaliauskas and former world champion Maurice Hooker.
      If McKinson is to come up with the upset, he has to be on his A-game, as Ortiz Jr definitely will be.
