      Deontay Wilder to go on holiday after hand surgery but will return to training ‘in a few months’ ahead of May comeback

      by

      DEONTAY WILDER will go on holiday before returning to training ‘in a few months’ ahead of a May comeback fight. The American heavyweight was beaten after 11 brilliant rounds against Tyson Fury in their trilogy bout in Las Vegas.

      And he had to have surgery on his right hand following an injury sustained in the gruelling yet thrilling fight.
      Wilder will now enjoy some well earned down time before getting right back to business.
      His trainer Malik Scott told World Boxing News: “Deontay said he’s going to go on vacation, and I’m all for that.
      “And in a few months, we’ll be back in camp, and he’ll be fighting.”
      Wilder, 36, was handed a six-month medical suspension after defeat to Fury, 33, meaning he can return to the ring by April.
      Scott said: “We should be back in camp, in my opinion, no later than March and fight in May.
      “Or we may be back in camp before March. It all depends on how he recovers, how he’s feeling, how everything’s going.”

      Wilder, who twice floored Fury in round four of their trilogy, was three times dropped before finally being knocked out.
      But the resilient former champion never stopped coming forward and even in defeat restored his reputation.
      Super-fights with the likes of Anthony Joshua, 32, Andy Ruiz Jr, 32, or Dillian Whyte, 33, are all exciting prospects for the Bronze Bomber.
      But coach Scott warned their comeback bout will be step down in level, but only a slight one.
      He said: “With Deontay, obviously, the first fight back is not going to be at the level that he just left. We have to do things the right way.
      “But at the same time, we can’t go much lower than that because he’s a high entertainment revenue fighter.
      We should be back in camp, in my opinion, no later than March and fight in May. Deontay Wilder’s trainer Malik Scott
      “He’s big-time boxing. We have to give him a threat because Deontay gets up for threats.
      “Obviously, it won’t be a Fury level, but it won’t be somebody down in the bucket. We’re not going to get somebody with a record of 27-11.
      “That’s not happening. It has to be a name that fans have heard of.”
      Despite the loss, Wilder had a huge part to play in what turned out to be an instant classic in Sin City.
      And even Scott could sit back and appreciate the all-out action when watching it back to study what went wrong.
      He revealed: “It was so good. It was such a good fight. Deontay would be out on his feet, and I knew we had clipped Fury.
      ‘REAL BATTLE OF THE GIANTS’
      “Then Fury would come back, and then he would knock Fury down, and Fury would get up.
      “There were certain shots Fury was hitting Deontay with that he was on fumes.
      “He caught Deontay with a shot one time from the blindside, and Deontay took that shot and continued to fight.
      “Fury continued to come forward. I’ve never seen a gutsy balls trilogy at that level in the heavyweight division.
      “That was a real battle of the giants. Before the fight, I called Fury a very, very good fighter.
      “After the fight, I gave him his credit and called him a great fighter because he beat a great fighter.”

      Tommy Fury ‘should go to a desert island and just stay there for life’ if he loses to Jake Paul, claims Eddie Hearn

      by

      PROMOTER Eddie Hearn has heaped pressure on Tommy Fury, telling him he should go to a ‘desert island’ if he is beaten by Jake Paul. The pair are finally set to face off on December 18 after months of back-and-forth on social media.

      And after claims from Tyson and John Fury that Tommy will come out on top, Hearn has also waded in on the situation.
      He has declared unbeaten professional Tommy, 22, should ‘never’ be beaten by Paul, 24.
      Speaking on the hotly anticipated clash, via talkSPORT’s Michael Benson, Hearn said: “Logic would tell you a pro that boxed for a living and was also Tyson Fury’s brother should never lose to Jake Paul…
      “If Tommy loses, he should go to a desert island and just stay there for life. It would be the most embarrassing thing.”
      Hearn also responded to claims that Paul didn’t deserve a shot at fighting Fury.
      The promoter said: “I don’t agree with all these comments, ‘It’s not fair they’re earning all this money and you’ve got this other guy whose grinding and not getting the opportunities.’ Well he ain’t good enough and he’s not built a fanbase like Jake Paul, so tough s***.”

      Meanwhile Tommy’s half-brother Tyson recently claimed he would change Tommy’s last name if he fails to beat Paul.
      Tyson said: “If Tommy can’t splatter Jake Paul, I’ll retire him from boxing myself.
      “He’s got ambitions of being a world champion, never mind beating some YouTube guy.
      “His name’s Fury. If he can’t beat Jake Paul, I’ll have to change his name.”
      Paul meanwhile challenged Fury to change his surname for a YEAR if he loses their grudge match.
      And Tommy’s dads John revealed Tyson will fly to Las Vegas to train his brother in the same city that The Gypsy King knocked out Deontay Wilder earlier this month.
      Outspoken Paul on the other hand has claimed he will enlist the services of viral social media star Hasbulla to help coach him. More

      Jake Paul says KSI is ‘next up on the list’ of opponents after Tommy Fury fight but claims YouTube rival is ‘scared’

      by

      JAKE PAUL said KSI is ‘next up on the list’ of opponents after his fight with Tommy Fury – but claimed his YouTube rival is ‘scared’. Paul faces Fury, brother to WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, on December 18 in Miami, which was exclusively revealed by SunSport.

      KSI was accused of being ‘scared’ to fight Jake Paul
      But the social media sensation is already thinking in the future, and called out KSI – real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji – as his last British rival.
      Paul, 24, said on his YouTube channel: “I’ve taken everyone out from the UK. Deji, Joe Weller, Gib, KSI’s scared – he’s really next up on the list.
      “And we see how they are in fights, all of them have cracked, all of them have lost, once they get on the big stage with me, he’s gonna crack.”
      Paul first started boxing in August 2018 and beat KSI’s brother Deji in an exhibition bout.
      He then won his professional debut against ‘AnEsonGib’ in 2020, one year after filming a sparring session with Weller.
      KSI, 28, meanwhile, has twice boxed Paul’s older brother Logan, 26, drawing the first before winning their rematch a year later in November 2019.

      He won by scrappy-split decision but has not returned to the ring yet, while Paul has since improved to 4-0 ahead of his return against Fury, 22.
      Pro boxer Viddal Riley, who is 4-0 himself and competed in the youth Olympics as an amateur, helped train KSI in both fights against Logan.
      But Paul believes he can beat Riley himself, as he once again took another shot at KSI.
      He said: “I would beat Viddal, that’s the level that this has gotten to.
      “It used to be Viddal is training KSI to come and beat me, but that guy’s scared, I believe I am better than Viddal, 110 per cent.
      “People will go, ‘Haha, this kid’s crazy, oh my god’ – after I beat Tommy? Who knows, look I have nothing but respect for Viddal.
      “I think he’s a dope guy, we squashed our beef, I’m not talking s***, I just personally think I’m better. He’s great, I just think I’m better.
      “F*** KSI at this point, right? Might as well make that fight happen. After I beat Tommy, he’ll be the only one from the UK left.”

      The Gypsy King is set to fly out to Las Vegas to help Tommy prepare for his fight against Paul after beating Deontay Wilder in Sin City earlier this month.
      And writing on Instagram after seeing the news Paul bragged how other legendary professionals had tried and failed to lead his opponents to victory.
      He wrote: “Love this. My previous opponents have had coaching from Floyd Mayweather (twice) & and the legendary Freddie Roach to no success.. and now Tyson will try and help lil Timmy.”
      Instead of enlisting the help of a professional, Paul has claimed he will hire the services of viral social media star Hasbulla.
      He said: “Official announcement: It’s confirmed that Hasbulla will be coming to my camp in a few weeks to train and corner me for this fight.”
      The outspoken YouTuber then offered a poll to his fans, asking “Which coach will win?” and a picture of Fury and Hasbulla next to each other.

      Russian Hasbulla has a genetic disorder that gives him childlike characteristics such as stunted growth and a high voice.
      He was seen at UFC 267 at the weekend and hilariously punched the legendary Daniel Cormier.
      Rivals Tommy, 22, and Paul, 24, will finally meet in Tampa on December 18 after a war of words on social media.
      SunSport exclusively revealed the fight was booked in for that date last week and it’s now official.
      YouTuber turned boxer Paul is unbeaten in four fights, while Fury has not lost in seven professional bouts.
      But The Gypsy King is expecting an easy victory for his brother, and has threatened to change Tommy’s last name if he fails to beat Paul.
      Tyson said: “If Tommy can’t splatter Jake Paul, I’ll retire him from boxing myself.
      “He’s got ambitions of being a world champion, never mind beating some YouTube guy.
      “His name’s Fury. If he can’t beat Jake Paul, I’ll have to change his name.”

      Dillian Whyte claims he only revealed he dropped Fury in sparring after being trash talked and labels rival ‘two-sided’

      DILLIAN WHYTE has blasted Tyson Fury as a “two-sided guy” and says that he only revealed he floored the Gypsy King in sparring because he was sick of being trash-talked.Whyte is the mandatory challenger for Fury’s WBC belt after he beat Deontay Wilder for a third time.

      Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte contine to have some verbal sparring
      Speaking about Fury, Whyte revealed in 2020 that he had “dropped him on multiple occasions” in a sparring session.
      Now the Brixton Bodysnatcher has said he decided to reveal all after becoming sick of Fury’s taunts.
      ‘TWO-SIDED GUY’
      Speaking on The AK and Barak Show, Whyte said: “Yeah, well he starting saying stuff about me so I said come on you know what happened in the gym.
      “You know what went down. I never went out and said anything he did. But Fury is a very two-sided guy.
      “Like sometimes he says something and you think the dudes cool and I ain’t got a beef with him then. The next minute he starts talking a load of rubbish.
      “You’re like, ‘Are we cool, are we beefing or are you talking sense. What’s going on?'”
      Fury previously said that he has beaten Whyte in the gym many times, describing him as a “heavy bag on legs”.
      WHYTE TAKING LEGAL ACTION
      This clearly riled Whyte, and with him now the next in line for Fury’s WBC belt, their rivalry shows no signs of simmering down.
      Fury even claimed that Wilder was only in fighting mood because he was protected by the coronavirus lockdown.
      The Gypsy King posted on Twitter: “Funny how everyone wants to fight during Covid-19, when there are no sports events happening.

      “Also I have a contract with the @bronzebomber first and when I win that I’ll have the fight with Joshua as undisputed comes before mandatory. Happy hunting.”
      SunSport reported how Whyte has taken legal action against the WBC over his mandatory title fight with Fury – after the Gypsy King agreed to fight Joshua.
      Whyte was left fuming after being overlooked yet again, seeking advice on his legal standpoint.

      And Fury’s girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague is eagerly anticipating the clash, tweeting: “Time to get the job done baby.”
      That has provoked a response from Paul’s partner, Julia Rose.
      The reality TV star replied to Molly-Mae saying: “Alright… let’s make a bet then.”
      And to further incite a reaction from the Fury camp Paul added: “She wonn’tttttt.”
      The Youtuber has a history of placing bets on his fights, with Tyron Woodley forced to get a ‘I love Jake Paul’ tattoo after losing to him in August.
      Paul also wound up the former UFC fighter by offering to double his pay packet if he won, with the catch that if he lost, he would have to donate his earnings to charity.

      FREE BETS: GET OVER £2,000 IN NEW CUSTOMER DEALS
      Unsurprisingly, Woodley decided not to take him up on that offer.
      Fury could rise to Paul’s challenge however, as he has matched him for trash talk over the last few months.
      He also met face-to-face with ‘Problem Child’ after his fight with Woodley to challenge him to a bout.
      So just like half-brother Tyson, Tommy is not afraid to put his money where his mouth is, and may encourage Molly-Mae to take up Rose on her offer of a bet.
      But as yet the former Love Island star is yet to respond. More
