      Muhsin Cason went from bouncer to boxer, is sparring partner of Jake Paul and KSI and brother to ex-champ Hasim Rahman

      by

      MUHSIN CASON never meant to follow his brother Hasim Rahman into boxing – but has quickly become a familiar face among boxing’s best. Rahman is the former heavyweight world champion, who famously knocked out Lennox Lewis in 2001.

      But Cason, 21 years younger, had no interest in picking up the gloves until it was forced upon him as means to escape.
      The current unbeaten cruiserweight needed out of Boston, where he was living at the time, and could only live with Rahman under one condition.
      Cason, 28, told SunSport: “Of course I knew about boxing because of my brother, but I had no interest in it.
      “I actually came into boxing by mistake, I needed to get away from a situation I was in while in Boston.
      “And my brother said if I come to live with him in Vegas, I gotta box.”
      Before boxing, Cason was a bouncer and it was while working the doors his natural talent was revealed.

      He explained: “I was working with a guy called Travis – he’s a professional boxer too – at the club and we got into an incident where he had to put some guys out.
      “The guy swung at me, I knocked him out with one punch and my friend said, ‘You gotta come to the gym’.
      “At first I said no, but he kept asking me, and then when I needed to get out of Boston, I thought I’d try it.”
      Before Cason was allowed to join Rahman in the fight capital of the world, he was sent to Philadelphia to first learn the ropes.
      There, he sparred under the watchful eye of legendary coach Nazeem Richardson, who sadly died in July 2020.
      Cason passed the test and moved to Sin City, where Rahman threw him in the deep end.
      He revealed: “I was able to spar so many great fighters in a short span because of who my brother was, I was connected already.

      “I was able to have a fast learning curve, he put me in there with four world champions before I even had my first seven amateur fights.”
      Cason, now 9-0, has shared the ring with the likes of Caleb Plant, David Benavidez and Badou Jack, all ex-champions.
      And among other top prospects, he has also been introduced to the new era of social media stars, crossing over to the boxing ring.
      Cason was one of the sparring partners KSI – a British YouTuber – had in camp before winning his rematch with Logan Paul in 2019.
      And despite learning the ropes from his famous brother and experienced veterans, Cason was taught new lessons by KSI & Co.
      He said: “What I learned from the boxing game is that it’s changing, and I had to change with it.
      “I’m watching KSI and for his first professional fight he’s making millions of dollars.

      “But it’s not because of his skills, it’s because of how many butts he puts in seats.
      “One thing I took from him was, OK I need to make sure I have a social presence, that way I can get on those big cards.
      “As far as KSI, I have a lot of respect for him and Jake Paul, because they are willing to go above and beyond to make sure they get what they need done and create than fan base where it’s never going to leave.”
      Cason also lent KSI’s friend ‘AnEsonGib’ a hand before the gamer was beaten by Jake Paul in 2020.
      Since then, Paul, 24, has improved to 4-0 as a boxer and fights Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy, 22, next on December 18.
      And thanks to Cason’s friendship with Paul’s assistant trainer J’Leon Love, he has been sparring the American celebrity in Puerto Rico.
      Cason revealed: “They did approach me, but J’Leon Love is a very good friend of mine, we actually have a show together called the NeighborsShow.

      “My relationship with him, I guess made me pop up on their radar as they needed top cruiserweights.”
      Having mixed it with both the old and new generation, Cason resonated most with the words of wisdom he received after meeting Mike Tyson, 55, in August.
      He said: “I would love to thank Amer Abdallah, my advisor, Badou Jack, a good friend of mine, as they brought me in the back to meet Mike Tyson.
      “I had a great conversation with him. One thing I got was, money isn’t everything and don’t change yourself to get to that money.
      “Because at the end of the day, the money can go, but it’s yourself that you have to deal with for the rest of your life.
      “And I took that to heart, because I plan on making a lot of money in this sport and I plan on being a recognised face in this sport.
      “With that I need to make sure that I am still Muhsin Cason.”

      Fury looked to be in top spirits as he embraced the unsettled weather in an Instagram story, saying: “Monday morning workout! What are you saying, dad? 
      “Good to be alive! How happy do you feel to be out of a box?”
      To which dad John replied: “A lot of people in a box, but I’ve worked hard to keep myself out the box!”
      Fury then finished the video by saying: “Good, that’s what we like to hear, positivity. Tommy what you saying, Monday morning blues for you? Joe, what you saying?”
      Fury’s next fight could be announced as soon as this week, with the WBC champ set for an all-British heavyweight title fight against Dillian Whyte.

      And Parker is also fighting in December as he prepares to take on Derek Chisora in a rematch following his victory in May.
      Meanwhile, dad John admitted at the weekend he told Fury to RETIRE after his son’s epic trilogy fight against Wilder.
      John told BT Sport: “”He’ll have a good hard-earned rest now and what he wants to do is up to him.
      “I said, ‘Retire, you’ve done enough.’ He’s won everything, he’s got no more to prove. He’s got millions in the bank, he’s secure for life.
      “There’s more to life than getting your brains rattled to please the public.
      “He’s his own man, he’ll do what he wants to do. But for me, I’d like to call it a draw now.”

      Legendary boxer Frank Bruno tells Anthony Joshua to ‘give him a call’ and wants to help fellow Brit reclaim world titles

      by

      FRANK BRUNO has urged Anthony Joshua to ‘give him a call’ so he can help his fellow Brit reclaim the heavyweight throne. Former Olympic and world champion Joshua has barely been seen since his brutal defeat by Ukrainian powerhouse Oleksandr Usyk in September.

      AJ’s loss means the planned super-fight with Tyson Fury that fans were looking forward to now hangs in the balance.
      But Bruno, who won his own world title at the fourth attempt, is backing Joshua, 32, to recover and thinks he will eventually fight pal Fury, 33.
      He told SunSport: “This isn’t the end of the AJ story. Sometimes in life you have to lose to win. I know that better than most.
      “Anthony now needs to keep a level head, work hard and come back.
      “I think he’s still got the fire in his belly and he’ll want to prove a few people wrong by coming back stronger.
      “If I can help in any way I’d love to. He just needs to call me.
      “AJ will also want to fight Tyson and prove he’s the best fighter in the world — but that part won’t be easy!”

      AJ immediately invoked his right to an immediate rematch after losing the WBA, IBF and WBO titles in September.
      He has since been in America potentially trailing new coaches to add to his team ahead of his rematch with Usyk.
      After his shock defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr, 32, in June 2019, Joshua added coaches Joby Clayton and Angel Fernandez to his team.
      And together with head trainer Rob McCracken, they put in place a box and move game plan which saw AJ win back the belts.
      But those same tactics proved his downfall against Usyk, 34, so the former champion has looked elsewhere for guidance.
      Joshua took a trip Stateside to consider adding a coach to his team to work alongside McCracken.
      If I can help in any way I’d love to. He just needs to call me.Frank Bruno on Anthony Joshua
      But no final decision has been made yet, despite the likes of Fury even offering his services to AJ.
      Before the Gypsy King flew out to face and later beat Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas last month, Bruno spent a day with the WBC champ at a new centre that Fury is opening in Morecambe.
      And when he got back, Fury was one of the first people on the phone to wish his buddy well at turning 60.
      Bruno said: “I got a video message from him.
      “I think Tyson’s been relaxing and enjoying himself since he got back from the Wilder fight.
      “But good luck to him, he deserves a break. But Tyson won’t be sitting still for long. He’s not cut that way.”

      My mate Tyson Fury is a real champ for taking up mental health fight, says Frank Bruno

      by

      FRANK Bruno today crowns Tyson Fury as the most inspirational sports star on the planet.He tells how the Gypsy King is now following in his own legendary footsteps — both in and out of the ring.
      My mate Tyson Fury is a real champ for taking up mental health fight, says Frank BrunoCredit: Richard Pelham – The Sun
      In an exclusive interview to mark turning 60, Frank says Tyson has taken on the mantle of being Britain’s best heavyweight boxer, but deserves even more credit for his work championing mental health awareness in troubled youngsters.
      And Frank says his friendship with Tyson is even helping him to win his own battle with mental health problems after years of trying to overcome his demons.
      Frank — who celebrates his landmark birthday today — told The Sun: “I’ve seen a lot over my 60 years but witnessing the way Tyson has turned his life around may well top the lot.
      “Nobody has done more in the past few years to raise awareness of mental health problems than Tyson. He’s the most inspirational sports star on the planet in my book.
      “We’ve both had difficult days but it has made us great friends and I am now seeing first-hand how Tyson is truly on a mission, inside and outside of the ring, to help others.
      “Tyson has told me he even wants to try and find a cure for mental health problems one day so others don’t go through what we have. And I’d back him to do it. I’d trust Tyson more than most of the politicians around these days.”

      With a steely look, Frank added: “I am determined to carry on fighting to smash down stigma until the day I die. But it’s reassuring to know Tyson will be there carrying the baton for many years after that.”
      It is typical heart-on-his-sleeve, no-nonsense stuff from Frank, who is still adored by the nation, 25 years after he retired from boxing.
      In 1995, the year before he quit the ring, he defeated Oliver McCall at Wembley to win the WBC Heavyweight Championship, which is still ranked among British sport’s greatest moments.
      As well as a glittering career which saw him win 40 out of 45 fights, he has also become a national treasure for his career on stage and screen.
      A poll in 1996, the year he retired, ranked him the second most popular Briton, behind Princess Diana. But five years after retiring, Frank was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and his life unravelled.
      The illness has since seen him sectioned — detained as a psychiatric hospital inpatient — four times, most recently last summer.
      LIFE UNRAVELLED
      Now he is planning to open a string of mental health centres to help those who have gone through similar struggles.
      Frank says: “The last 12 months have been probably the hardest in my life. Last summer I couldn’t have put my hand on my heart and said I’d have been out of hospital to celebrate my birthday.
      “I thought I had things under control but Covid and lockdown just pulled the rug from under my feet. I struggled to cope with being locked down and losing friends from Covid.
      “I had to reset and get better. And I did. But if getting my freedom back and turning 60 has shown me anything it is that there is still so much to be fighting for.
      “I’ve got a lot I still want to do. But it is not about belts or titles now. It is about supporting others.”
      It is that determination which has led Tyson, who also suffers from bipolar, to bond with Frank in a unique way. The pair regularly talk privately about their illness and discuss coping strategies.
      Nobody has done more in the past few years to raise awareness of mental health problems than TysonFrank Bruno
      They also both run their own charity foundations. Before Tyson flew out to face Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas last month, Frank spent a day with the 33-year-old at a new centre that Tyson is opening in Morecambe, Lancs.
      And when he got back, Tyson was one of the first people on the phone to wish his buddy well at turning 60. Frank said: “I got a video message from him.
      “I think Tyson’s been relaxing and enjoying himself since he got back from the Wilder fight. But good luck to him, he deserves a break. But Tyson won’t be sitting still for long. He’s not cut that way.”
      Frank feels the same about Britain’s former Olympic and world champ Anthony Joshua, who has barely been seen since his brutal defeat by Ukrainian powerhouse Oleksandr Usyk in September.
      AJ’s defeat means the planned superfight with Tyson that fans were looking forward to now hangs in the balance.
      But Frank, who won his own world title at the fourth attempt, is backing 32-year-old AJ to recover and thinks he will eventually fight pal Tyson.
      KANGAROO BALLS
      He said: “This isn’t the end of the AJ story. Sometimes in life you have to lose to win. I know that better than most.
      “Anthony now needs to keep a level head, work hard and come back. I think he’s still got the fire in his belly and he’ll want to prove a few people wrong by coming back stronger. If I can help in any way I’d love to. He just needs to call me.
      “AJ will also want to fight Tyson and prove he’s the best fighter in the world — but that part won’t be easy!” Despite his age, Frank, who still trains daily, is regularly offered the chance to return to the ring. 
      In the past year alone, he has been offered potentially lucrative deals to take part in exhibition bouts against Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe.
      But Frank, who suffered an eye injury in his final fight against Mike Tyson in 1996, is not tempted.
      He said: “One more punch to the eye could blind me, so I won’t be going there. I want to see my grandchildren grow up. I’m still fit and I will always miss the buzz of boxing, but I’ve had my time.”
      I wouldn’t change a single day of the last 60 years. Even the difficult ones happened for a reason.Frank Bruno
      However, the prospect of doing battle on the dance floor is a different matter. Frank said: “I think I’d be OK on Strictly. I’ve loved music from the day I was born and when I’m not in the gym I’ll be on the decks and love a bit of DJing.
      “Apparently I’m not a bad mover so I think I’d enjoy the show — plus, they wouldn’t have to spend much on a spray tan.”
      He added: “I’d opt for that over I’m A Celeb. I hate snakes and don’t fancy eating kangaroo balls. I’d rather have a nice steak and some garlic.”
      Frank’s friendship with legendary boxing commentator Harry Carpenter remains one of the joys of his life. It led to his infamous “Know what I mean, ’Arry?” catchphrase, which people still shout at him every day, Frank says.
      It is 11 years since Harry died, but earlier this year Frank was moved close to tears when he discovered a previously unseen interview that he had given to the BBC icon.
      It forms part of Frank’s new life story, 60 Years A Fighter. He says: “I still think about Harry a lot. He was a gentleman, a diamond who helped me inside and outside the ring more than he could ever know. He played a massive part in my life.”
      Last Friday Frank marked his milestone birthday with a celebratory ball, raising money for his charity, The Frank Bruno Foundation.
      ‘DUST YOURSELF DOWN AND GO AGAIN’
      Among those to send tributes were Piers Morgan, Wayne Rooney and Stephen Fry. And his old fighting foe Mike Tyson even sent a happy birthday message via video.
      Despite being rivals in the ring, Frank says the pair are now more like brothers. He added: “Mike’s misunderstood. We met up last year and it was great to just talk about old times.
      “He’s mellowed a hell of a lot — that might be because he runs a cannabis farm in America! He may have been the baddest man on the planet for a long time but he’s just a grandad like me now.”
      And for Frank, who is reportedly dating Scottish hairdresser Nina Coletta, mental health campaigning, family and staying fit and healthy are the priorities now.
      He said: “I wouldn’t change a single day of the last 60 years. Even the difficult ones happened for a reason. They make you stronger. You have to dust yourself down and go again.
      “I’ve been very lucky. I’ve met kings and queens but I’m just a normal geezer and no better than anyone else — know what I mean?”

      SMASHING STIGMA AROUND MENTAL HEALTH
      AFTER a glittering ring career Frank is now focused on a new fight — smashing the stigma around mental health.
      His charity The Frank Bruno Foundation has just opened its first centre in Northampton which has already helped more than 1,000 people.
      Pal Tyson Fury has agreed to be an ambassador for the charity and Frank, who wants to open several more centres next year, is even eyeing a meeting at No10.
      He says: “I’d love to sit down with Boris Johnson and tell him where we need to improve things.
      “Lockdown has created a new crisis in mental health and the help isn’t there for many who need it. I want to change all that — and so does Tyson.”

      Jake Paul’s sparring partner calls for YouTuber and brother Logan to battle UFC’s Nick and Nate Diaz in two-fight series

      by

      JAKE and Logan Paul have been urged to secure a two-fight, battle of the brothers deal with Nick and Nate Diaz. The YouTubers have emerged as two of the most disputed and polarising figures in boxing.

      Nate Diaz and brother Nick, are both UFC fighters and have been urged to fight the Pauls
      Jake, who fights Tommy Fury on December 18, has called out UFC star Nate Diaz in the past.
      And on his next undercard, former sparring partner Anthony Taylor, rematches Diaz’s team-mate Chris Avila.
      And while Taylor does not have his eye on either of the Diaz brothers, he called on Jake and Logan to pit themselves against the UFC veterans.
      He told SunSport: “I’m not worried about Nate or Nick.
      “I’ll let Jake and Logan handle that if it needs to be. The Paul brothers versus the Diaz brothers.
      “But what I can say I’m interested in would be fighting Jake Shields or Gilbert Melendez, Team Paul versus Team Diaz.”

      Logan, 26, has only boxed three times before, twice against online rival KSI, with the first a white collar bout in 2018 which resulted a draw.
      The American then lost the rematch a year later by scrappy split-decision when they turned professional.
      Then, in June, Logan return in an extraordinary exhibition with Floyd Mayweather ring legend which ended with no winner after it went the distance.
      The social media sensation is now rumoured to be in talks with Mike Tyson, 55, who made his comeback last November against Roy Jones Jr.
      Meanwhile, Jake, 24, is 4-0 with wins over YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, as well as former UFC pair Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.
      Taylor was his sparring partner before fights with ex-MMA champions Askren and Woodley.

      He even featured on the undercard of the latter, losing to Jake’s next opponent Fury, 22.
      And he will again feature on the pay-per-view bill when his old sparring partner and opponent fight, facing old ground in Avila, who he beat in the cage last year.
      Taylor said: “Jake’s manager Nakisa hit me up and said, ‘Hey, what do you know about Chris Avila?’
      “And I’m like, ‘Well, me and Chris Avila don’t like each other’. I beat him up in Bellator and Nate didn’t like the fact I beat him up and was showboating.
      “So Nakisa was like, ‘Look, I want you to fight Chris Avila, I think it will be a good win for you and a good fight’.”

      The internet personality – who is in line for a mega-money fight against Mike Tyson – bought the five-bedroom gaff in 2017 for £4.8m.
      It’s nicknamed Maverick House, which is the name of the 26-year-old’s merchandise brand – that also features a clothing label.
      Sidenote, Maverick is also the name of his pet parrot.
      Built in the 70s, it sits in the heart of Encino, California.
      And the 9,000 square foot home makes up part of the sought-after San Fernando Valley neighbourhood.
      As well as the five bedrooms, the mansion boasts seven bathrooms.

      The stylish kitchen has a marble island situated in the middle – perfect for hosting guests for breakfast.
      And there are several wine cellars – which is hardly a surprise given it is in the same state as the world famous Napa Valley wine producing region.
      It has a modern farmhouse design with vaulted ceilings and four fireplaces.
      And the exterior is painted a bold gunmetal grey.
      The home is believed to have been previously owned by Whose Line Is It Anyway? comedian Ryan Stiles.

      In an odd twist, the for-sale photos are the same ones used last time it was available to buy in 2017.
      That means the current condition and any upgrades made remain unknown.

      Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk likely fight date revealed as Eddie Hearn admits bout could take place outside of UK

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA is expected to rematch Oleksandr Usyk by April but the fight venue is still being considered. AJ immediately invoked his right to an immediate rematch after losing the WBA, IBF and WBO titles in September.

      He has since been in America potentially trailing new coaches to add to his team ahead of his rematch with Usyk.
      Promoter Hearn told talkSPORT: “I think [the rematch] will be realistically end of March, early April.
      “Both guys are probably resting, although AJ will be doing a bit more preparation because he wants to get it right.”
      After his shock defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr, 32, in June 2019, Joshua, also 32, added coaches Joby Clayton and Angel Fernandez to his team.
      And together with head trainer Rob McCracken, they put in place a box and move game plan which saw AJ win back the belts.
      But those same tactics proved his downfall against Usyk, 34, so the former champion has looked elsewhere for guidance.

      Joshua took a trip Stateside to consider adding a coach to his team to work alongside McCracken.
      But no final decision has been made yet.
      Hearn added: “There was a well-documented trip to America, just to look really, look, learn and see.
      “I think he will go back out there towards the end of the year. We will start talking to Team Usyk over the next couple of weeks and pin down the venue.”
      Joshua took redemption to Saudi Arabia the night he outclassed Ruiz over 12 rounds.
      And while Hearn has previously admitted home soil is the frontrunner to host the rematch with Usyk, other options have been presented.
      He said: “I would like it back in the UK. There are other options. We have had approaches to stage that fight around the world.
      “But last time out was a massive spectacle and, obviously, this time is a much bigger fight.”
