      Tyson Fury opens up on relationship with Joseph Parker and claims he’s now his ‘part-time manager and financial advisor’

      by

      TYSON FURY revealed he will NEVER fight Joseph Parker, who he advises and manages part time. The two formed an unlikely friendship after Parker beat Fury’s cousin Hughie in 2017.

      They have since become training partners and inseparable pals, ruling out a future bout between them.
      Fury told BT Sport: “Joe’s a friend of mine, and we’ve made it clear we’ll never fight each other anyway.
      “I’m Joe’s mental advisor, financial advisor, part-time manager, part-time business partner and part-time mentor and life coach.
      “So why would I want to fight that guy? Although, we do a lot of sparring in the gym.”
      The two only spar to the body but Parker, 30, has based himself in Fury’s home of Morecombe under coach Andy Lee.
      He is also the perfect man to have around for the Gypsy King due to his 2018 fight with Dillian Whyte.

      Fury, 33, fights Whyte, also 33, on April 23 at Wembley Stadium and has been getting tips from Parker, who was beaten by the Brit on points.
      The WBC champion said: “Joe’s been over here for about a year now, I believe. We call him ‘Morecombe Joe’ now.
      “Great guy to have around camp, obviously he’s fought Dillian Whyte before, he knows what Dillian Whyte does best and what he does bad.
      “So it’s very, very handy to have Joe in camp, giving me those advice tips.”

      And Hoyle – the MP for Chorley – has sent a letter to former Metropolitan Police Chief Dame Cressida Dick about the matter.
      He told The Daily Mail: “Everyone is disgusted by what’s happened – it brings the sport into disrepute.
      “I have to question why the judges got it so wrong? I have already sent a letter to the police.”
      Hoyle has also spoken to Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Nadine Dorries and Minister for Sport Nigel Huddleston about the fight.
      He revealed: “I have spoken to Nadine Dorries and Nigel Huddleston – they are both looking into this.
      “I also believe that something seriously went on here – whether it was undue influence, one must question why.

      The British Board of Boxing Control has vowed to investigate the scoring of Taylor’s controversial defence of his four light-welterweight titles.
      A heartbroken Catterall claimed corruption was afoot in the scoring of his Glasgow get-down with Taylor, who insists he did more than enough to retain his titles.
      Taylor said: “I thought I’d done enough – 100 per cent. I started slow as I tried to get my timing.
      “I caught him with the bigger shots. He tried to spoil, he leaned in a lot and there was a clash of heads.

      “I’m not going to lie, he caught me with a couple of good shots.
      “It wasn’t my best performance. I put a hell of a lot of pressure on myself this week with the homecoming and my first fight here in three years.
      “I just put too much pressure on myself to put on a good show but it didn’t matter in the end. I got the result. It was close.
      “I allowed him a bit of success by loading up but I landed the more meaningful shots.
      “He put up a good fight but he knows he didn’t win the fight. I took over in the second half.”

      Tyson Fury reveals he applauded Sky Sports’ Adam Smith when presenter took offence to Johnny Nelson’s verdict on Usyk

      by

      TYSON FURY has revealed he applauded Sky Sports’ Adam Smith when he slammed Johnny Nelson for labelling Oleksandr Usyk an ‘average southpaw’. Nelson, who was cruiserweight world champion between 1999 and 2005, incredibly claimed last year that pound-for-pound superstar Usyk was not a standout boxer compared to other southpaws.

      Sky Sports presenter and commentator Smith took umbrage to that view.
      And Fury has now revealed he agreed with Smith in slamming Nelson’s controversial point.
      Grabbing the mic and interviewing the Sky man on iFL TV, Fury said: “A couple of months ago Johnny Nelson said to you that Oleksandr Usyk is an average southpaw cruiserweight.
      “And I was actually very impressed with your thing. You was absolutely livid, absolutely boiling. You was like ‘arghhhh’. Can you tell us a bit more about it?”
      And Smith explained: “I was doing an interview and Johnny just said he was an average southpaw and I just took complete offence to that.
      “I think he is a fantastic fighter. I think he was a wonderful amateur. He was brilliant against Joshua and I thought that was a disgraceful thing for my good friend and colleague to say.

      “But there we go, that’s his opinion.”
      Fury then replied: “I was actually clapping in the room because that was amazing. So well done for that.”
      Usyk, an Olympic gold medallist from London 2012, beat Anthony Joshua by unanimous decision at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September to claim the IBF, WBA and WBO world titles.
      Since then, there have been ongoing talks about a rematch.
      But those discussions have taken a back seat since former undisputed cruiserweight champion Usyk decided to fight on the frontline for his country against the Russian invasion.
      And Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed – with Usyk’s situation in Ukraine taking priority – that AJ may consider an interim bout while he waits for the chance to become a three-time world heavyweight champion.
      Hearn said: “It’s difficult to speak on behalf of Oleksandr Usyk.
      “Firstly, my thoughts are with everybody in Ukraine and people showing incredible bravery out there, particularly some of the great fighters of the past and Oleksandr as well.
      “He can have the time that he needs. We [Joshua’s camp] don’t want any other fight but Oleksandr Usyk.
      “Whether there’s a delay for that fight and we have an interim bout, I guess that’s subject to the situation with Oleksandr Usyk and how much time he needs.
      “It’s a very emotional time and personal time for the people of Ukraine. So we’ll respect them and give them all the time, but we wouldn’t be looking to get out of our obligation, is what I’m saying.
      “The only fight AJ wants right now is Oleksandr Usyk. If we have to fight in between, no problem at all, but we’ll respect this time for Oleksandr Usyk and speak to his advisers.

      “If there needs to be a delay for the contractual period, we will be happy to grant that, but we want that fight.
      “We don’t want that obligation to slide away.”
      Meanwhile, Fury will defend his WBC title against fellow Brit Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium on April 23. More

      ‘It will give him issues’ – Sergio Mora predicts Canelo Alvarez will struggle to deal with Dmitry Bivol’s jab

      by

      FORMER boxing world champion Sergio Mora believes Dmitry Bivol will cause Canelo Alvarez issues but says he will have to be special to beat the Mexican.Alvarez, 31, has not lost since he fought all-time great Floyd Mayweather in 2013.

      And although WBA Super light-heavyweight champion Bivol is unbeaten in his professional career he has just 19 fights under his belt compared to Alvarez’s 60.
      Mora expects Bivol’s jab to trouble Alvarez however, but suggests the Russian will have to show a whole lot more to win the fight.
      Mora told Fighthype: “He’s going to have to be special because Bivol is going to have to get out of character in order to beat Canelo.
      “That jab [from Bivol] is going to give him issues, and the power and size is going to give Canelo issues. But it’s not going to be enough to win.
      “Caleb Plant gave Canelo some issues with the jab, some issues with the movement.
      “But he didn’t have the experience, size, or the power to do anything else, and ultimately, he got knocked out in the 11th.

      “[Sergey] Kovalev had the size but didn’t have the commitment and got knocked out in the 11th.
      “I think Bivol might be in the same boat. He’s going to have to show up and show out.”
      Alvarez dispatched Plant quite easily to unify the division in November 2021 and he is now seeking yet another belt to add to his collection.
      If he wins the WBA super light heavyweight title there will not be much left for Alvarez to accomplish in boxing so he could give in and grant Kamaru Usman’s wish to fight him. More

      The viral clip has been slammed onlineCredit: Twitter
      The disturbing 14 second clip from an unknown beachside location shows a wannabe coach unleashing shots on defenceless budding fighters.
      Clearly under instruction not to fight back or try and defend, three men can be seen allowing the coach to tee off numerous shots without reply.
      Noticing the clip, Bellew warned against such dangerous exercises.
      The 39-year-old wrote: “Just to be clear this isn’t a training method it’s just STUPIDITY!

      ‘He’s the best to do it’ – Anthony Joshua trolls Tyson Fury over fight record after rival announces retirement

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has trolled rival Tyson Fury over his fight record after the WBC world heavyweight champion announced his retirement. The former WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO champ is preparing for a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk having lost to the Ukrainian last year.

      And while he prepares to face Usyk, Joshua has decided to antagonise another rival in Fury.
      Joshua responded to a fan who mocked Fury’s plans to retire after his April 23 fight with Dillian Whyte.
      The fan said: “Tyson Fury says he’s hanging up as the best to do it with a resume of [Derek] Chisora, [Wladimir] Klitschko, [Otto] Wallin and [Deontay] Wilder three times.”
      Joshua quoted the tweet and quipped: “He is the best to do it I can’t disagree.”
      A date for Joshua’s fight with Usyk is yet to be decided, with the heavyweight champion back in his home country.
      Usyk returned to Ukraine to take up arms and fight off the Russian invasion.

      In the meantime, Joshua is open to a rematch with Fury’s best pal Joseph Parker.
      New Zealander Parker, 30, was beaten by AJ in 2018, and has already volunteered to replace Usyk.
      Joshua told Behind The Gloves: “Me personally? I’ll fight no problem. I’ll fight whatever, no problem.” More

      Tommy Fury starts ‘first day of camp’ as Love Island star eyes fight on brother Tyson’s undercard amid Jake Paul talks

      by

      TOMMY FURY started his ‘first day of camp’ as he eyes a fight on his brother Tyson’s undercard. The 2019 Love Island star last boxed in August, beating Jake Paul’s sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32, on his US debut.

      Tommy Fury started his ‘first day of camp’ as he eyes a fight on his brother Tyson’s undercard
      He then signed to fight YouTube star Paul, 25, but had to pull out of the grudge match after suffering a broken rib and having a chest infection.
      But Fury, 22, wants to return the night brother Tyson, 33, fights Dillian Whyte, also 33, on April 23 at Wembley Stadium.
      And he appears to be training for a fight as he posted a series of training and diet pictures online, captioning: “First day of camp.”
      Paul has recently accused his Fury of faking the injury to avoid risking his reputation in the all-celebrity bout.
      So he hit back to deny the claim and insisted he will push ahead with his boxing career – with or without fighting the American.
      Fury told EsNEWS: “I think it’s ludicrous, I think he’s using my injury as a play point like, ‘He didn’t want the fight’. When really, it was a genuine injury.

      “So if he wants to go and fight another MMA kid in Ohio somewhere, let him crack on. But I know we’re onto bigger and better things.” 
      Fury would have been Paul’s first opponent with a professional boxing record.
      The 5-0 internet personality has so far only beaten a YouTuber, NBA player and two former UFC fighters.
      Fury still hopes to face Paul and believes a statement win on Tyson’s undercard could set it up.

      He said: “That fight I look to see at the end of the year.
      “My plan is to get a good win on this undercard. At the end of the day, Jake Paul knows where it’s at.
      “We’re onto bigger and better things, I don’t know what Jake Paul’s doing, but we’ve just done 100,000 at Wembley.
      “I’m looking to get a good win on the undercard and move on with my career.
      “I’m a boxer, I’m not a YouTube boxer or anything like that, I’m a fully-fledged fighting man.
      “Whatever Jake Paul decides to do, he decides to do, I’m not interested.”
