      by

      TYSON FURY warned his brother Tommy must ‘fly to a foreign country’ if he fails to beat Jake Paul and ‘ain’t coming home’.Fury is training and set to corner Tommy for the celebrity grudge match on December 18 in Florida.

      The pair attended a pre-fight press conference, held in Tampa, on Zoom, where the Gypsy King laid out the consequences if his brother suffers defeat.
      Fury, 33, said: “I think this is really good fight for everybody who is going to be watching around the world.
      “There’s going to be a lot of people watching. A lot of people are interested in this fight.
      “You’ve got two young, undefeated guys. I’m really looking forward to it. It’s going to be an excellent night. I think Tommy will knock him out.
      “No disrespect to Jake Paul, but like I said to Tommy, if he can’t knock Jake Paul out, fly to a foreign country and stay there because he ain’t coming home.”
      Tommy, 22, is usually coached and cornered by his dad John, but due to his father’s prior criminal conviction, he is unable to travel Stateside.

      It means Fury and his trainer Sugarhill Steward are leading the training camp.
      Tommy was in America with Sugarhill but was forced to fly home to England due to a family emergency, so spoke at the presser virtually.
      He said: “I feel like I’ve won the lottery.
      “You’re asking me to fight on a massive world stage, you’re going to pay me nicely, and all I’ve got to do is fight Jake Paul. A YouTuber.
      “I’m going to splatter him December 18. I’ve won the lottery. I’m begging Jake Paul, please do not pull out.
      “Because normally, when we get to this stage in boxing, you’ve got to fight for a world title. But I’m fighting a YouTuber. Sign me up.”

      Paul beat ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, in his last fight and Fury won against his sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32, on the undercard.
      The YouTuber, 24, previously stopped online rival ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
      Tommy said: “You fought a 40-year-old guy in your last fight. He hit you with one proper punch and you fell through the ropes.
      “When I come for you, I’m knocking you spark out. You fought retired UFC people, a basketball player and that’s it.
      “When you fight me December 18, you’re getting knocked spark out. This is a step too far for you. Stick to YouTube because that’s all you’re good for.
      “I’m going to show you what losing feels like.”

      And Hall-of-Fame coach Roach would happily welcome Joshua with both arms if he were to pitch up at the world-famous Wild Card gym.
      The 61-year-old told iFL TV: “You know where my gym is.
      “I do run into him once in a while, he’s a character, and I’ve told him all he needs to do is come home.”
      Joshua, 32, is well aware of the calls for him to ditch McCracken but plans to stick with the Team GB coach.
      The former unified heavyweight champ told iFL TV: “As a man, I have to do what’s right for me.
      “I speak to Rob about it, and Rob, as a man, agrees that if it’s good for me, he’ll say ‘champ, you do what you’ve got to do’.

      “Rob’s not a controlling type of person, he’s very laid back and he’s happy to see the progression of what’s needed.”
      Joshua will bid to reclaim the unified heavyweight titles from the undefeated Usyk early next year.
      And the Watford warrior plans to take the slick southpaw’s ‘soul’ in their blockbuster rematch.
      He told iFL TV: “I’m done with f***ing losing. I’m done with trying to learn the sweet science.
      “The referee might get thrown on the floor in the next fight because this is war.
      “It’s just straight war, I’m annoyed. I’m boiling up even speaking about it – it’s that passion to win.”

      Joshua added: “He’s had like 400 amateur fights, he’s seen people that have tried to rough him up, millions of times, so to just try and adapt one style is silly.
      “But for me, I have one thing in my mind, that’s war, that’s murder, that’s war, let’s go out there and hurt the guy.
      “Take his soul to the point where he wants to give up. That’s what boxing’s about, I’ve learned that.
      “You hit people constantly, keep on applying a certain amount of pressure, before they know it they’ll realise you aren’t going anywhere, you’re here to stay.
      “With the game plan, that’s all I have in my mind at the minute, that one track, stay on course, take this guy to places he doesn’t want to go.”

      WBC heavyweight champion Fury will train his brother for the fight, and has been enjoying some verbal sparring with the enemy in private.
      Paul said on TMZ Sports: “We’re going back and forth in the DMs right now, me and Tyson, sending each other voice messages, which is pretty funny.
      “I’m calling his brother a squid, he’s saying, ‘He’s gonna annihilate you Jakey boy’ I’ll play you one.”
      Paul then gets his phone out and plays a voice message from Fury, who says: “He’s going to come for you, Jakey boy.
      “You’re getting annihilated, Jakey!”
      Paul then added: “It’s amazing, bro. You can’t hate the guy. Tyson, I love, I want to make that clear to everybody.

      “I love Tyson, I love that he’s involved, great entertainer, unfortunately I have to end his brother’s career, that’s just the way it is.
      “But Tyson, we can be friends still, bro. It’s all good.”
      Paul beat ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, in his last fight and Fury won against his sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32, on the undercard.
      The YouTuber, 24, previously stopped online rival ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
      Tommy, 22, will be his first opponent with prior professional boxing experience and also has the No1 heavyweight in the world in his corner.
      But brother Tyson and dad John have already warned the 2019 Love Island star must retire from boxing if he fails to beat Paul.
      Asked if Tommy must quit boxing if he loses, Paul responded: “110 per cent, and he will have to change his name to Tommy Fumbles.
      “His family said they’re going to disown him and that’s it for him. He says he wants to be a world champion and he gets beat by me? See you later.
      “But, lucky for Tommy, you know, he’s good looking. He can just go to modelling, he can go back to reality TV, no harm, no foul.”

      And the unbeaten WBC heavyweight champion gave a glimpse into the strict regiment he is ordering his brother to follow.

      “Early start this morning, six o’clock in the morning, just finished now, absolutely smashing it.
      “Tommy’s in the gym this morning, strength and conditioning, first session of the day.”
      Fury then uploaded a video smashing a medicine ball on Tommy’s stomach, aimed to strengthen his core.

      It means Fury and his trainer Sugarhill Steward are leading the training camp.
      Tommy was in America with Sugarhill but was forced to fly home to England due to a family emergency.
      It means he had to virtually attend the pre-fight press conference in Tampa by Zoom and was joined by brother Tyson on the line.

      Canelo Alvarez interested in fighting Jermall Charlo or David Benavidez next and could make return ‘pretty quickly’

      by

      CANELO ALVAREZ has shown an ‘interest’ in fighting Jermall Charlo or David Benavidez next and could make a ring return ‘pretty quickly’. The Mexican superstar, 31, became the first ever undisputed super-middleweight champion after knocking out Caleb Plant, 29, in 11 rounds.

      And right away, talk has turned to what could be next for Canelo, who has won titles from light-middleweight all the way to light-heavyweight.
      Showtime Sports executive Stephen Espinoza, who welcomed the pound-for-pound king back to his network, named Charlo and Benavidez as options.
      Espinoza told ESNEWS: “For my money, the two most interesting fights for Canelo next are Jermall Charlo and David Benavidez or David Benavidez and Jermall Charlo.
      “We’ve certainly mentioned those to Team Canelo, and there is interest.
      “We’ve seen this year that Canelo has stayed busy.
      “I would expect that he’ll roll into his next fight pretty quickly.”

      Charlo, 31, is the current WBC middleweight champion but has talked up a move to 168lb to challenge Canelo.
      Benavidez, 24, is a former two-time WBC super-middleweight title holder, but lost the strap twice outside the ring, after testing positive for cocaine and missing weight.
      He returns against Kyrone Davis, 27, on Saturday and has been touted as a potential threat to Canelo’s throne.
      Alvarez returned to Showtime for the first time since 2014, and did so as a free agent.
      He terminated his contract with Golden Boy in 2020, and his last three fights were all with British promoter Eddie Hearn on a short-term basis on DAZN.
      Canelo is contractually open to fight on any network with whatever promoter, but Espinoza, who has a deal with Al Haymon’s PBC stable, is hoping for future business together.

      He said: “It’s been great. He’s been around, his team is experienced, and they know what they want. That’s the biggest difference.
      “They’ve done a lot of big events and done business with a lot of different people.
      “They know what they want, and that makes it a lot easier for us when we present them with options, or they tell us a vision for an event.
      “So it’s been great, and at this point in his career, Canelo deserves the opportunity to determine his events.
      “The team is experienced, and we love collaborating with them.”

      JAKE PAUL said Tommy Fury is only a fighter because ‘his dad told him to’ and would rather be ‘an Abercrombie & Fitch model’. Paul’s verbal warfare with Fury continued as they took part in a press conference ahead of their December 18 grudge match in Florida.

      The American, who was in Tampa attending the media event, hit out at the 2019 Love Island star, who was present on Zoom alongside his brother Tyson.
      Paul, 24, said: “This kid’s chin has never been tested. He’s only been put in with opponents that were meant to lose.
      “I’ve never done that. All my fights were stepping into the unknown. For him, this is the first fight where the opponent isn’t just put in there to lose.
      “On the biggest stage possible, in front of all these people, this young man will crack. He’s not battle-tested like me.
      “He hasn’t lived the life that I have. He’s had a silver spoon in his mouth his whole entire life.
      “He’s doing this because his brother does it. Because his dad told him to do it. This isn’t something he wants to do.
      “If it was up to him, he’d be an Abercrombie & Fitch model.”

      Paul 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 YouTuber 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 Fury’s inexperience on the big stage will be his downfall on fight night.
      Paul said: “Tommy claims to have been doing this his whole life and he’s had this amateur career, and he’s been around it and that is true, but he hasn’t worked as hard as me.
      “I see a green guy who hasn’t sparred enough times and who has only been put in there with opponents that were meant to lose.
      “This is his first real test where his opponent just doesn’t flop over. You’re going to see that. You’re going to see a fighter who is a virgin, in my opinion.
      “He has no idea what he’s getting himself into. This is his first time under the big lights and on the big stage, and he’s going to crack under the pressure.”

      Anthony Joshua told to step aside to allow Tyson Fury to fight Oleksandr Usyk next in undisputed heavyweight title fight

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has once again been told to step aside from a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk to allow Tyson Fury to fight for the undisputed title. Joshua was dethroned of the WBA, IBF and WBO belts by Usyk in September after falling victim to a 12 round masterclass.

      But the defiant former two-time champion has already invoked his right to an immediate rematch next year.
      It means any hope of Fury unifying his WBC title with Usyk have been shelved, much to the displeasure of the Gypsy King’s US promoter Bob Arum.
      He told ESNEWS: “I think it would be maybe wise to not force a fight with Usyk right away and let Usyk fight Tyson Fury and the winner to fight Joshua and Joshua to have an interim fight in the meantime.
      “That’s what I hope and that’s the sensible thing. Whether it works out that way or not is not dependent on me, it’s dependent on Joshua.
      “F*** Eddie Hearn. He has nothing to say about it. All he does is spit his mouth.
      “No, Joshua will make the decision for Joshua, and Joshua will make whatever decision he feels is correct.”

      Fury, 33, is now expected to instead fight long-time rival Dillian Whyte, 33, the WBC mandatory challenger.
      Meanwhile, Joshua, 32, will attempt to reclaim the throne he lost in the capital with a rematch against Usyk, 34, expected to take place before the end of April.
      The winner of that fight could then proceed to an undisputed title decider against the victor between Fury and Whyte.
      Joshua has been trialling new coaches in America to potentially add to his training team.
      And he was even offered help from Fury and his cornerman Sugarhill Steward.
