      Tyson Fury’s promoter brutally dismisses Dillian Whyte’s chances vs Otto Wallin after he is made mandatory challenger

      by

      TYSON FURY’S promoter Bob Arum does not believe Dillian Whyte will beat Otto Wallin to set up a fight with the WBC heavyweight champion.Providing Fury beats Wilder this weekend and Whyte, 33, comes through Swede Wallin on October 30, the two Brits will be ordered to face one another for the WBC title.

      The only way Fury would be able to evade Whyte in that scenario is if he could make an undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk.
      However, Usyk is contracted to a rematch with Anthony Joshua, meaning a clash with Fury is almost certainly off the table.
      This leaves Fury and Whyte on a collision course providing they can both come through their respective opponents.
      But Arum believes Whyte will lose to Wallin and suffer the same fate as last year when he was the WBC mandatory challenger, only to go on and lose to Alexander Povetkin.
      Speaking to iFL TV, Arum said: “Last time he [Whyte] was mandatory, he fought Povetkin and got knocked on his ass.
      “I look for Wallin to clearly beat Whyte, so I’m not even taking it into consideration.”

      Whyte has lost two fights in his professional career, to Povetkin in 2020 and Anthony Joshua in 2015.
      The Body Snatcher avenged his loss to Povetkin with a fourth round knockout earlier this year, but is yet to get his own back on AJ.
      He has exchanged words with Fury for some time and last month told SunSport he believes the two-time world heavyweight champion to be a ‘conman’.
      Whyte said: “For God’s sake, don’t get carried away listening to a single thing that conman [Fury] says. His best attribute as a boxer is just getting the public to believe any of his bull****.

      “I am the easiest boxer in the world to make a fight with. You call me or my people, offer us the venue, date and purse and we say yes or no. But Fury and his team talk rubbish.
      “They have no interest in ever fighting me, he has been mandated to fight me twice and ducked out of it — the same as he did with the Wladimir Klitschko rematch he swerved.
      “No one wants to see this third Wilder fight. British fans can’t fly over there, it’s going to be on at 5am, so he’s using my name to try to mug fans off again into buying into his b*******. More

      If Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder is as good as other famous heavyweight trilogies like Ali vs Frazier – £24.95 is a SNIP

      by

      TYSON FURY is expected to start where he left off and batter Deontay Wilder to another humiliating defeat even if America’s Bronze Bomber enters the ring stark naked tomorrow.Wilder was stopped in the seventh round after his trainer Mark Breland  threw in the towel –  a merciful gesture that got him the sack – when they last met 20 months ago as the American lost his WBC world heavyweight title but also his unbeaten record and his credibility.

      His ludicrous excuse that his crushing defeat was because he tired himself out before climbing through the ropes under the 40lb weight of his bizarre Star Wars ring-walk costume belongs in the dog ate my homework category. 
      The simple truth is Fury exposed Wilder for what he was – an unskilled crude banger who was an easy target to hit.
      Tyson was on fire and still fuming at being robbed of victory when their first clash was dubiously ruled as a draw 14 months before.
      At last after two frustrating postponements they come face-to-face in what could turn out to be a thrilling and Titanic Trilogy in Las Vegas’s T-Mobile Arena.
      If it’s as good as the two most famous heavyweight trilogies between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier and Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe,  fans who pay £24.95 to see it on TV near breakfast time on Sunday morning won’t be able to claim they didn’t get value for money.
      It’s certainly going to be fascinating to see if the Gypsy King can just as emphatically demolish Wilder as he did before.
      If he does, that could see the end of Deontay’s career.

      But hanging in the air is the thought that perhaps Wilder under new trainer Malik Scott – his one time sparring partner – has managed to iron-out many of his boxing imperfections so he can gain sweet revenge.
      Remarkably Fury and Anthony Joshua between them dominated the heavyweight division for six years.
      That’s until Joshua’s abject failure against Oleksandr Usyk when he waived goodbye to the WBA, IBF and WBO belts which may have killed off the £200 million fight with Fury at Wembley Stadium forever.
      Though it was a fortnight ago I still can’t get over Joshua’s tame capitulation – making the brilliant master craftsman Usyk look even better than he is.
      AJ seemed to have completely lost his fighting spirit and like my local petrol pumps his tactical ideas were running on empty.
      The way Joshua was laughing and joking and fist-pumping with his fans as he strode to his downfall made me think he was more suited to star at the London Palladium than Madison Square Garden.
      Fury enjoys a bit of fun in the build-up to his fights but when it comes to working hours he’s all serious business.
      He knows any complacency or a single slip in concentration and his crown could be packed in Wilder’s luggage on its way back to Alabama.
      Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe produced another great trilogyCredit: AFP – Getty
      Deontay may not have learned much more in recent months in how to execute some of the fine points of the Noble Art but he still carries dynamite in his right fist.
      Scott, who was stopped in six rounds by Derek Chisora, at Wembley eight years ago, said proudly: “One thing no one can ever change about Deontay is the God-given power.”
      We have to presume that Wilder will be far more canny on this occasion and not allow Fury the freedom of his exposed chin. 
      After what happened in February last year Fury – an 4/11 favourite – will have the psychological edge and I won’t be surprised if he produces a repeat performance and finishes Wilder off even quicker.
      Two weeks ago I pointed out Usyk as the challenger was an unusually short-priced 9/4, which could only mean there was a lot of smart money on his back. Wilder also happens to be quoted at 9/4.
      Is that an omen?  If it is, there likely to be a very short British queue to buy tickets for the Usyk-Wilder unification showdown.

      John Fury banned from watching son Tyson fight Deontay Wilder at ringside but dad not bitter after accepting Visa denial

      by

      JOHN FURY wants no pity for being banned from the US ringside for son Tyson’s fight with Deontay Wilder on Saturday.The 55-year-old giant served four of an 11-year sentence for gouging out the eye of a rival in 2010 – costing him crucial years at his son’s side.
      John Fury holds no bitterness over not being able to see son Tyson fight Deontay WilderCredit: Sportsfile – Getty
      The proud Traveller is now a free and very popular man, landing a high-profile BT Sport punditry role and being a smash-hit on YouTube.
      When 33-year-old Tyson demolished Wilder in February 2020, his first action backstage was a call to his dad to celebrate and get his approval.
      And the pair will be kept apart again this weekend, with ex-fighter John no longer bitter about the visa ban
      He said: “It’s my own doing, it was my own choice, I could have walked away and instead I chose to break the rules. I am paying for that and I will keep paying for it but that is up to me.
      “I preach to all of my sons how to behave and I did not practice it on that day. I let my temper and pride get in the way of who I am and made the biggest mistake.
      “But I am still alive, I have great people around me and I can watch it on TV. So who am I to complain and give it the big’un about not being ringside?

      “My son knows what to do, he doesn’t need me, I have brought him up to  be the man he is and I can just sit back and enjoy it.”
      Big John has not seen his son fight in the flesh since beating Francesco Pianeta in Belfast in 2018.
      But if he settles the Wilder trilogy on Saturday, he could face Dillian Whyte, Anthony Joshua or Derek Chisora next, back in the UK.
      But John will not let himself get carried away with the idea of watching his boy dance under local lights.
      Big John is confident Tyson can take care of business in America without himCredit: Rex
      He said: “If is the smallest word in the dictionary but it is also the biggest. If Tyson fights Dillian Whyte back in England next then yes I will be there but I will be nervous and jittery.
      “It will be all brand new again, it will be like being let out of prison all over again, like a child with a new toy. But Tyson is doing amazing things over in America and has proven he doesn’t really need his dad. I could be the jinx.”
      When Tyson accepted the first Wilder fight back in 2018 – just two tune-up fights into a comeback from three years out abusing his body with booze, food and drugs – his dad was fuming.
      Despite unwavering belief in the premature baby he named after American heavyweight legend Iron Mike Tyson, he was worried the task was too tall, even for the 6ft 9in ace.
      How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
      And, when granddaughter Athena was born premature at the start of August, John threatened to pull his son out of the third installment, placing parental duty over money and contracts and now he explains those tough calls.
      He said: “My feelings before this fight and that first fight are different, before the first fight I was just angry because I felt he was listening to the wrong people.
      “I believe Tyson has learned so much in the last three years, he is no longer thinking everyone is his friend, the penny has dropped. I make it very clear to Tyson that everyone who is employed by him is only there for the money.
      “He cannot start laying his heart on the line for these people because they come and go, the only people there until the end are your blood kin.
      “I was angry back then because they went against me but I can now admit that I was wrong because the first fight had to happen to bring us here.

      “The world saw the greatest comeback in sport that night. Tyson only had about 50 per cent of his power for that first fight and he still went over there and won – and got robbed for a draw.
      “He proved me wrong and I told him so, he did the impossible in that fight but that is what champions do.”

      But along with the epic fight which promises to take place, a fight in Vegas also brings with it a certain glamour that you don’t get anywhere else.
      That can be seen in many different ways, none more so than in the two ring girls who will be working the fight.

      Stephanie Ann Cook is a model from Rockford, Illinois that currently resides in Vegas.
      She first entered modelling in 2007 and has since gone on to work on a number of combat sports events.
      She became a ring girl for MMA shows around 2009 and then went on to be used frequently to promote Bob Arum’s Top Rank boxing events.
      When asked who her favourite boxer was in 2012, she told Pro Boxing Fans: “Of course I love the legend, Muhammad Ali. He was so inspirational and still brings motivation to my life, that he is a favourite. So my favourite fight is Ali vs Foreman.”

      Tiana Tuamoheloa is also one of the models working on Fury-Wilder III this weekend in Las Vegas.
      The Samoan thoroughly enjoys travelling and being a part of ESPN’s boxing shows, but very few get as big as this weekend.
      And in an interview back in 2018, Tuamoheloa opened up when asked some very personal questions.
      When quizzed by Maxim if she has any sex fantasies, she said: “I love performing, so why not have a private, burlesque type of performance for my man? I’d think that’s something I think we’d both enjoy.”
      She was also asked how a man catches her attention, to which she responded: “With swag. I enjoy looking at a man who knows how to pair an outfit together and takes risks with his style. I love a man with a confident demeanor.”

      Frank Bruno reveals hardest punchers he faced in boxing career but explains why legend Mike Tyson is NOT in top three

      by

      FRANK BRUNO fought some of the hardest hitters in heavyweight history – and three stand out the most. The British boxing legend left the nation on its feet in 1995 when he won the heavyweight title in his fourth attempt.

      But before that heroic night at Wembley Stadium, Bruno boxed some of the best of all time and took some heavy whacks on the way.
      Revealing the most powerful punchers he ever faced, Bruno said: “I’ve got to go for Jumbo Cummings, Bonecrusher Smith and Tim Witherspoon. 
      “All of them had different punches, all had different ways, when they hit you it hurt.”
      Bruno beats Cummings in 1983 but had to overcome a massive right hand in round one which left him barley able to make it to the corner.
      It was then a year later American Smith beat the Brit favourite in the tenth and final round of their fight.
      Former world champion Witherspoon successfully defended his WBA belt against Bruno in 1986, winning in round 11.

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      Bruno also had two classics with Mike Tyson, in 1989 and then 1996 – his last fight – as well as a Battle of Britain with Lennox Lewis in 1993.
      The two heavyweight legends may not have made his list of top three hitters, but still packed a different kind of punch.
      Speaking at the launch of Wow Hydrate’s new store in Oxford Street, Bruno said: “Tyson’s quick and he’s powerful, he hits like a whip, but it’s a different variety. 
      “Tim Witherspoon, he wore you down, Bonecrusher Smith, he was a different cup of tea.
      “Lennox Lewis was a different cup of tea, everyone’s got their style and how they can punch, different skills.”

      Tyson Fury jokingly stagger around and pretend to fall into bin after being asked if he is ready to face Deontay Wilder

      TYSON Fury shows no sign on pre-fight nerves ahead of his clash with Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas on Saturday night. The hype is building but The Gypsy King appears to be relaxed as ever just days before the bout.

      In a video posted to MTK Global’s Twitter account, Fury was seen out and about in Vegas and was asked ‘how he was feeling’ as the countdown to the fight continues.
      And in typical Fury fashion, he responded: “Terrible, absolutely s****.
      “I’m just going to walk I think, can’t be bothered.”
      He’s then seen stumbling with his head down, before staggering around and pretending to fall into a bin.
      And fans on Twitter were absolutely loving it, with one replying to the video: “What a guy”.
      Others simply responded with multiple laughing emojis as Fury fans lapped up the pre-fight mind games from The Gypsy King.

      The first fight between Fury and Wilder ended in a controversial draw in 2018, before Fury won the rematch in February 2020 via a seventh-round TKO.
      And Fury vs Wilder 3 goes ahead this weekend after an arbitration judge ordered Fury to fight Wilder again instead of an all-British bout against Anthony Joshua.
      The T-Mobile Arena awaits on Saturday night, with 20,000 fans expected to pack out the venue on Las Vegas’ famous strip.
      And the WBC and Ring Magazine Heavyweight titles are on the line on as the pair face off once again in another battle for the ages.
      And Fury was stunned to discover his next opponent could be Dillian Whyte if he emerges victorious this weekend.
      How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
      The WBC have ordered the winner of Fury vs Wilder to face the interim titleholder if they can’t finalise an undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk within 30 days.
      But Usyk is already contractually obliged to give Joshua a rematch.
      Whyte is the current holder of the WBC interim belt, and but puts it on the line next month as he faces Otto Wallin.

      TYSON FURY always likes to leave an impression at press conferences – and it’s not always about his way with words.The WBC heavyweight champion of the world is a snazzy dresser, and often wears bespoke suits for the pre-fight mix-ups.
      Fury caught the eye for his suit as well as his words
      But usually the shirt is left in the dressing room.
      Ahead of his trilogy scrap against Deontay Wilder this weekend, Fury donned a suit that was sure to rile the American.
      Fury’s suits are designed by Claudio Lugli based in Brent Cross, where he has built a good relationship with tailor Nav Salimian.
      Here Sunsport checks out that, and four other stunning press conference outfits the Morecambe mauler has shown to the world.

      Ahead of his brilliant schooling of Wladimir Klitschko, Fury turned into a superhero.
      The Gypsy King arrived for the pre-fight presser in a yellow Lamborghini dressed as batman.
      He then entered the media room and took his seat. But there was more to come.
      Fury proceeded to have ‘a fight’ with a man dressed as The Joker.
      Kiltschko cracked a smile as it all played out – but was clearly stunned at what went on.

      They were all styled like cigarette cards – all 1,900 of them.
      Undoubtedly Fury will feature among those famous faces himself.
      And poor Schwarz knows only too well – being knocked out by Fury in the second round.

      YOU BIG DOSSER – FEBRUARY 2020
      Fury affectionately labelled Wilder a ‘big dosser’ in the lead up to their contentious draw in December 2018.
      And just days before he went on to exact ultimate revenge on the Bronze Bomber in February 2020, he decided to have these words imprinted on a suit.
      The Gypsy King even trademarked the his favourite insult.

      MESSAGE TO WILDER – JUNE 2021
      After seeing a dream all-Brit bout against Anthony Joshua hit the buffers, the trilogy with Wilder was signed in June this year.
      And in the press conference announcing their original date of July 24 for the fight, Fury wore a suit with a special meaning for the American.
      It featured shots of him battering Wilder in their second bout, as well as THAT photo of of Fury wearing a crown on his ringwalk.
      It was sure to get under Wilder’s skin bringing back memories of his first ever pro defeat – and a battering at that.

      Derek Chisora ranks top five heavyweights in world including Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua but NO Oleksandr Usyk

      by

      DEREK CHISORA has named his top five heavyweights in the world – but there’s no room for newly-crowned champion Oleksandr Usyk on the fan favourite’s list.The boxing world is fiercely debating the best big man on the planet following Usyk’s masterclass over Anthony Joshua last month.

      Anthony Joshua is second on the list, despite his recent loss to Oleksandr Usyk
      WBC king Tyson Fury is recognised by many as the best heavyweight on the planet, including by Chisora.
      But War believes there’s no room in the top-five for new unified champ Usyk, who he’s ranked below Joshua, Dillian Whyte, himself and Joe Joyce.
      During an appearance on BT Sport, the 37-year-old said: “No.1, for everything he’s achieved from the ups and downs, everything he’s done since the amateurs, I would go with Tyson Fury.
      “Because he’s won the English title and gone on to be the best fighter on the planet and then losing control and the retiring for two years, doing his bad habits, and coming back and winning again – being one of the pound-for-pound fighters in America. So I put him there.
      “At No.2, it’s not a tricky one it’s an easy one for me, I’d put my good friend AJ on number two.”
      When asked by Carl Frampton how could he have Joshua as the second-best heavyweight after his latest loss, Chisora replied: “Usyk’s got the title now, yes. He’s got the titles.

      “But AJ generates so much money for everybody. Everybody has fallen in love with boxing now because of AJ.
      “He’s the only guy I know now, in the last 30 or 40 years, that has sold out five arenas.
      “Sold out. That’s why I put him at No.2.”
      He added: “That’s my opinion, that’s me. And then I’ll go with, my No.3, I’ll go with Dillian Whyte.”
      After hearing Frampton’s shocked reaction to his placement of Whyte, Chisora said: “Listen, don’t worry about what I’m picking.
      Who can I put at number five? I’ll put what’s his name? Joe Joyce.Derek Chisora
      “I’m picking my top five, aren’t I?
      “No.4, I’ll go with myself because I’m still in the game.
      “All these guys started boxing when I was in the game already.
      “And at No.5, I’ll put… who can I put at number five? I’ll put what’s his name? Joe Joyce.”
      Former WBA and IBF super-bantamweight champ Frampton didn’t hesitate when it came to naming his list.
      How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
      The Northern Irishman said: “This is what I think: Fury, Usyk, AJ, [Deontay] Wilder and Dillian Whyte at No.5.”
      Fan favourite Fury will have the opportunity to cement his status as the best heavyweight on the planet early on Sunday morning in his Las Vegas trilogy fight with Wilder.
      The Wythenshawe warrior put a beating on the American 19 months ago, battering him from pillar to post until his former cornerman Mark Breland threw in the towel in the seventh round.
