      This morning he was spotted out in Morecambe in between training his younger brother Tommy ahead of his December 18 fight against YouTuber Jake Paul.
      While Tyson displayed little emotion, Tommy cracked a smile before the two boxers got into a black Range Rover.
      They had earlier grabbed breakfast at Keegans coffee and sandwich shop.
      Tyson was dressed in jeans and a ‘Gypsy King’ coat topped with a cap, while Tommy braved the cold with shorts and a thin jacket.
      And the cafe appears to be a favourite spot for the brothers.
      Tyson has previously shared clips on his Instagram Stories from inside the establishment while talking about how training Tommy is going.

      Breakfast is served until 12pm, with a bacon bun costing £3 or just an egg one £2.40.
      A varied sandwich list includes chicken tikka, topside beef and prawn and crab. They will set you back £4.
      But athletes Tommy and Tyson might plump for the ‘build your own salad box’, a large costing £4.50.
      The Sun reported last week how Stella Kabelis, 21, and Kailah Downie, 24, knocked back shots and danced with Tyson at a bar.
      The 33-year-old fighter then went back to their Manchester flat while wife Paris was at home.
      Fury eventually called it a night at around 11.30pm — more than eight hours after he met the girls.
      The Morecambe mauler had a busy weekend too – he showed his support for dad John on his speaking tour in Blackpool.
      Fury also did some filming for A League Of Their Own in Buzz Bingo in Morecambe, along with Jamie Redknapp and Freddie Flintoff.
      And he managed to squeeze in date night with stunning wife Paris too.
      The Gypsy King, 33, is coming off an epic trilogy win against Deontay Wilder, 36, which dramatically ended in round 11.
      Fury soon returned home to Morecambe as has been taking a break to recover after the win.
      He is rumoured to be set to fight fellow Brit Dillian Whyte next, the Londoner being the WBC mandatory challenger.
      Paris and Tyson met when they were teenagers and married in 2008.
      She gave birth to their sixth child Athena in August, and the pair previously told how they want 11 children.

      Anthony Joshua signs up Frazer Clarke as part of team as Team GB Tokyo Olympic boxing captain turns professional

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has signed ex-Team GB boxing captain Frazer Clarke to his management company. Clarke has been a long-time friend and sparring partner of AJ’s due to their time together on the Olympic boxing squad.

      Joshua, 32, pipped him to a place in the 2012 London Games, where he later won a gold medal.
      And Clarke would have to wait another 11 years until he finally got his crack at a medal, as he captained Team GB in the delayed Olympics in Tokyo this summer.
      The super-heavyweight left with bronze but confirmed his intentions to turn professional.
      It has now been announced he has signed with 258 Management label, who Joshua is also with, but has not yet revealed who he will be promoted by.
      Clarke, 30, said: “Happy to announce I’ve teamed up with @258mgt as management.
      “A team with as much drive and determination as me and all other fighters they work with.

      “Together we will achieve every single goal that we set out to achieve … let’s go
      “I’m super excited to be joining the 258 MGT team, they have a lot of great boxers, all winners and I hope to add to the success of the team moving forward.
      “I can’t wait to get started in the pro ranks and with the help of 258 I know I will become World Champion.
      “Its going to be an exciting journey and hopefully everyone can get behind me.”
      Clarke in 2017 also represented GB in the European Championships, leaving Kharkiv with a silver.
      He has also helped in many of AJ’s training camps as a sparring partner, with the heavyweight star still training in GB’s Sheffield base.

      Tyson Fury ‘really happy’ with first day as trainer to brother Tommy, who says Jake Paul is getting ‘knocked spark out’

      by

      TYSON FURY was left ‘really happy’ with his first day as trainer to brother Tommy, who said Jake Paul is getting ‘knocked spark out’. Fury’s little brother Tommy has signed and confirmed his celebrity grudge match with Paul on December 18 in Florida.

      The 2019 Love Island star is usually trained and cornered by his dad John, but due to a prior criminal conviction, the father is unable to travel Stateside.
      It means WBC heavyweight champion Fury and his coach SugarHill Steward are leading the charge for Tommy’s training camp.
      Tommy and his brother had their first day in camp together and the pair were all smiles afterwards.
      Fury, 33, said: “Just finished me first day as a trainer. First morning session rather. Really happy with myself the way things went.
      “All the boys trained hard. How was it Tommy? How you feeling?”
      Tommy, 22, responded: “The run this morning was good. Good leg work, feeling good, feeling fit.
      “Trainer T is doing the best job.”

      Fury then asked: ‘What’s happening to Jake Paul? To which Tommy replied: “You’re getting knocked spark out. Two rounds.”
      The Gypsy King then remarked: “Jake Paul, we’re coming for you.”
      Fury was in America to begin training but was forced to fly home, before his first press conference, due to a family emergency.
      Paul, 24, still attended the media event and there he questioned whether his rival will be able to live up to the Fury fighting name.
      He said: “The beautiful thing about this fight is the unknown. Is he actually a Fury, or will we find out that he’s just a half Fury?
      “Does he have the heart like his brother, or is he just living in the shadow of his brother.
      “The beautiful thing about this fight is stepping into the unknown, because this is also my first time fighting a real boxer, whatever that means?
      You’re getting knocked spark out. Two rounds.Tommy Fury to Jake Paul
      “He’s undefeated, he’s young, same age, same weight, same height, so it’s really a perfect match-up.
      “We’re just going to see who worked harder, who wants it more and who has that dog inside of them.”
      Paul beat ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, in his last fight and Tommy won against his sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32, on the undercard.
      The social media influencer previously stopped online rival ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
      But he is entering his third pay-per-view main event and believes Tommy’s inexperience on the big stage will be his downfall on fight night.
      Paul said: “He’s only been put in there with opponents that were meant to lose.
      “This is his first real test where his opponent isn’t some guy who is just going to flop over.
      “He has no idea what he’s getting himself into. This is his first time under the big lights, on the big stage, and he’s going to crack under pressure.”

      Five next opponents for Canelo Alvarez after Caleb Plant win including Gennadiy Golovkin trilogy and Artur Beterbiev

      by

      CANELO ALVAREZ delivered a stunning 11th-round KO of Caleb Plant at the weekend – with talk instantly of ‘who’s next?’The Mexican became the first ever undisputed super-middleweight champion and re-affirmed his position as the pound-for-pound best in the world.

      Canelo is now a four-weight world champion – meaning the span is wide as to who he could fight next.
      His only ever defeat came in 2013 against the legendary Floyd Mayweather – Canelo was very much a rookie at the time.
      Since then the 31-year-old has blasted out all most of the opposition, including a clutch of gallant Brits along the way.
      Here, SunSport checks out five potential opponents for the Mexican sensation.
      Gennadiy Golovkin
      Boxing fans will be keen for Canelo to complete a trilogy against Gennadiy Golovkin – especially as their two fights were extremely contentious.
      Canelo was lucky to get a draw in their first clash in 2017, with US-based judges blasted for their scoring.
      He was better in their second fight in 2018, but there was still some argument when he claimed a majority decision

      Artur Beterbiev
      This is probably the most dangerous fight on the list.
      Canelo may fancy going back up to light-heavyweight – he famously secured a stunning KO win against Sergey Kovalev in 2019.
      Artur Beterbiev is a beast at the weight and the current unified champ with 16 wins and 16 KOs.
      WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman was quizzed about whether the two could fight, saying: “It would be a tremendous match.
      “Beterbiev is undefeated, he is a heavy, heavy puncher.
      “He would be a very strong threat to Canelo’s legacy.”

      Jake Paul
      For some reason YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul continues to angle for a fight against one of the greatest boxers ever.
      Paul has won all four of his pro fights so far – one against a fellow YouTuber, one against a baskeball player and two against UFC fighters.
      A scrap against Canelo would be a ridiculous step up. But the Meican has not even ruled it out himself.
      Asked by FightHype if he would ever face the social media sensation, he replied: “We don’t know, you can never say never. We’ll see in the future.”
      Canelo also said Paul, who fights Tyson Fury’s younger brother Tommy next, would need to do ‘a lot of things’ before they could ever fight.

      Kamaru Usman
      UFC champ Kamaru Usman has previously called for a crossover fight against Canelo.
      Usman is a heavy-hitting fighter, but would be a huge underdog against the Mexican if they went at it in a boxing ring.
      And even UFC chief Dana White has dismissed Usman’s chances against Canelo.
      He said: “He doesn’t want to fight Canelo, he doesn’t want to fight Canelo.
      “C’mon man let’s stop this s***.”

      Zach Parker
      Undefeated Brit Zach Parker is the WBO No1 ranked fighter for Canelo’s super-middleweight title.
      The Derby boxer sensationally KO’d Marcus Morrison at the weekend – but he has not fought anyone even close to Canelo’s level yet.
      But Parker is a heavy-handed super-middleweight as well as being supremely confident in his boxing ability.
      The WBO could well line up another Brit for Canelo – and Parker would seize it with both hands undoubtedly.

      Jake Paul says Tommy Fury is ‘living in the shadow’ of brother Tyson and predicts rival will ‘crack under pressure’

      JAKE PAUL said Tommy Fury is ‘living in the shadow’ of brother Tyson and predicted his rival will ‘crack under pressure’. The celebrity fighting rivals have signed and confirmed their December 18 grudge match in Florida.

      Fury, who in 2019 featured on reality TV show Love Island, comes into it unbeaten at 7-0.
      Whereas Paul is more inexperienced as a 4-0 fighter, but is entering his third pay-per-view main event.
      And the YouTube sensation believes Fury’s inexperience on the big stage will be his downfall on fight night.
      Paul said: “He’s only been put in there with opponents that were meant to lose.
      “This is his first real test where his opponent isn’t some guy who is just going to flop over.
      “He has no idea what he’s getting himself into. This is his first time under the big lights, on the big stage, and he’s going to crack under pressure.”

      Paul, 24, beat ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, in his last fight and Fury, 22, won against his sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32, on the undercard.
      The social media influencer previously stopped online rival ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
      But Fury will be his first opponent with previous professional boxing experience.
      The undefeated Brit will be trained by his heavyweight world champion brother Tyson, who will also be in his corner on the night of the fight.
      And Paul – who has a famous older brother in Logan – questioned whether Fury will be able to live up to his family’s fighting name.

      He said: “The beautiful thing about this fight is the unknown. Is he actually a Fury, or will we find out that he’s just a half Fury?
      “Does he have the heart like his brother, or is he just living in the shadow of his brother.
      “The beautiful thing about this fight is stepping into the unknown, because this is also my first time fighting a real boxer, whatever that means?
      “He’s undefeated, he’s young, same age, same weight, same height, so it’s really a perfect match-up.
      “We’re just going to see who worked harder, who wants it more and who has that dog inside of them.”

      Artur Beterbiev’s 100 per cent KO ratio is ‘very strong threat’ to Canelo Alvarez’s legacy with fight given green light

      by

      CANELO ALVAREZ has been warned Artur Beterbiev poses a ‘very strong threat’ to his legacy as the WBC gave the green light for the fight. Mexican superstar Canelo became the first-ever undisputed super-middleweight champion after knocking out Caleb Plant in 11 rounds.

      Talk has immediately turned to what could be next for boxing’s pound-for-pound No1.
      The sport’s only champion with a 100 per cent knockout ratio, Russian Beterbiev, has been tipped as a dangerous challenger to Canelo.
      He defends his unified WBC and IBF light-heavyweight title against Marcus Browne, 30, on December 17.
      But afterwards, the WBC have given their blessing for Canelo, 31, to challenge for the famous green and gold title at 175lb.
      WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman told Sky Sports: “It would be a tremendous match. Beterbiev is undefeated, he is a heavy, heavy puncher.
      “He would be a very strong threat to Canelo’s legacy. But Canelo wants to keep going further and further so let’s see.”

      Alvarez has only once fought at light-heavyweight when in November 2019 he knocked out Sergey Kovalev, 38, to win the WBO belt.
      But he then moved back down to super-middleweight and in the space of 11 months won all four titles.
      Beterbiev, 36, has 18 KOs in as many fights and stands as one of the most fearsome punchers in all of boxing.
      Canelo’s relentless activity over the past year leaves him needing vital rest and announced he will likely return in May.
      Alvarez will decide his next opponent in January and hinted at defending his titles opposed to moving up in weight.
      He said: “We are always looking for the best fights and defending the titles is always important.
      “When the time comes we will think about the future. Maybe in January, we will see what is next.
      “I have nothing in particular in mind right now. I’m ready for any challenge, but we will see what comes next year.”

      This saw him playing bingo in Morecambe, where he made an entrance by shadow boxing down the aisle.
      Recently, The Sun revealed the boxer and one of his coaches, Andy Lee, went with two fans, Stella Kabelis, 21, and Kailah Downie, 24, on an eight-hour night out.
      The girls spotted Fury and former champion Lee in a swanky restaurant.
      Outside they approached the two-time heavyweight champ for a selfie and he happily obliged.
