    Fury’s older brother Tyson recently upped the stakes by claiming he’d ‘retire’ his sibling and change his surname if he came up short again the social media phenom.
    And Paul has latched on to the Gypsy King’s vow by making an additional £368,000 ($500,000) wager.
    The Problem Child said: “Here’s my response to Tyson Fury.
    “He just said that if his little brother Timmy Fury loses to me that he will make him quit boxing and he’s going to have to change his last name.
    “He will no longer be allowed to be a Fury.
    “So you know me, I’m a betting man. I like to make bets. So, I’m putting my money up right now.

    “Tommy, if you beat me I will give you an extra $500,000.
    “However, if you lose, you have to change your last name for one year to Tommy Fumbles.
    “Deal or no deal? I’m putting the money up. Are you confident?”
    Fury, 22, has yet to respond to Paul’s latest taunt, although he is eager to silence the YouTuber.
    During an appearance on The MMA Hour, he said: “When me and you get in the ring, kiss goodbye and don’t ever put on a pair of boxing gloves ever again, because it’s over for you.
    “I’m going to send you straight back to where you belong — jumping off bridges on YouTube and messing about, because you don’t belong in my world, mate.
    “And you’re going to find out very soon. So keep talking.”

    Fury, however, is refusing to sit on the sidelines and wait for the younger Paul brother, saying: “Listen, I’m not about to put my career on standstill for someone like Jake Paul, a YouTuber. “
    “I’m a professional athlete, a professional boxer who’s been doing this a long time.
    “Jake Paul or no Jake Paul, you’ll see me back in the ring in December.”

    Tyson Fury wears incredible bespoke suit with WBC belts plastered over it to taunt rival Deontay Wilder ahead of fight

    Fury battered Wilder from pillar to post in February 2020 to snatch the American’s WBC strap.
    It also saw Wilder suffer his first ever pro defeat – and in crushing style.
    Ahead of their third fight this weekend, the two had their final press conference – and once again Fury was dressed to impress.
    He wore an eye-catching suit – without a shirt – that showed Wilder what he once used to have.
    Plastered all over the fabric were images of the iconic green WBC belt, which will be on the line this weekend.
    Fury, who once dressed as batman for a presser, has previously wore a suit featuring images from his KO of Wilder when faced with the Bronze Bomber.

    BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
    The press conference was, as you’d expect, a fiery affair, with Fury telling Wilder he was a ‘weak man’ and would be ‘getting knocked out’.
    And there was certainly fire in the belly of Fury’s US promoter Bob Arum.
    The 89-year-old was incensed with broadcaster Fox Sports and presenter Kate Abdo for suggesting the two fighters were going to come together.
    According to Arum in his rant after the press conference, both Fox and Abdo knew a face-off was never going to be part of the press conference – and he claimed Abdo was out of order for bringing it up.
    Arum even shouted out from the crowd “Not a good idea!” when Abdo raised the prospect.
    However she then quickly changed her mind – suggesting it was Arum’s intervention which prevented the face-off happening.

    Fury’s promoter Bob Arum slams Brit broadcaster Kate Abdo and rages ‘f*** her’ for ‘favouring’ Wilder over face-off fear

    TYSON FURY’S U.S. boxing promoter Bob Arum claims he “saved the fight” after stepping in to make sure his client did not face-off with Deontay Wilder during their press conference.Arum, 89, was incensed with broadcaster Fox Sports and presenter Kate Abdo for suggesting the two fighters were going to come together.

    According to Arum in his rant after the press conference, both Fox and Abdo knew a face-off was never going to be part of the press conference – and he clamied Abdo was out of order for bringing it up.
    Arum even shouted out from the crowd “Not a good idea!” when Abdo raised the prospect.
    However she then quickly changed her mind – suggesting it was Arum’s intervention which prevented the face-off happening.
    That annoyed the promoter, who said: “They bring this woman in from the UK and she’s slanting all the press conference to Wilder.
    “Like I don’t give a damn, but it’s obvious what she was doing!
    “And then, she knew that the understanding was: no face-off. Tom Brown argued with Fox, no face-off.
    “We said, “No face-off”. What does she say? “Now we’re going to do a face-off?”
    “F*** her and f*** them. There was no face-off and we saved the fight.”
    There have been heated exchanges between the two heavyweight boxers this week, with Fury responding to charged comments made by Wilder after their last bout.

    The American accused Fury of tampering with his gloves and offered up several more excuses as to why the Gypsy King defeated him in February 2020.
    In response Fury said: “I ask, if I only won because I cheated, what was the point of changing everything?
    “No one can answer, so (you) have egg in your face.
    “He says he wants to do bad things to me and hurt me – for those who hold a hot coal with the intention of throwing it at somebody, they are the ones who get burned.
    “I don’t want to hurt Deontay Wilder, I just want to beat him in a fight.
    “Guess what, after this fight you (Wilder) will be back at the fast-food chain you were working at early in your career.”

    Dillian Whyte WILL face Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder winner if he beats Otto Wallin for WBC world heavyweight title

    DILLIAN WHYTE will finally get his long-awaited crack at the WBC heavyweight title if he beats Otto Wallin.The Brixton banger is the current interim titleholder but will get his shot at the undisputed belt should he beat the Swedish slugger on October 30.

    And Whyte will face the winner of the bout provided he gets past Otto WallinCredit: MATCHROOM BOXING
    That’s because the WBC will mandate the winner of this weekend’s clash between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder to face the interim titleholder.
    They will, however, give the victor 30 days to finalise an undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk, although the Ukrainian is contractually obliged to rematch Anthony Joshua.
    That means nearly 1500 days after he was officially confirmed as the highest-ranked contender, the Body Snatcher will get the chance to fight for the prestigious WBC strap.
    A statement read: “The WBC Board of Governors has reviewed the recent history in the Heavyweight Division.
    “Considering the long inactivity in the division due to the pandemic, ongoing legal processes, and Covid-19 infections, the WBC has ruled that the winner of this fight will have 30 days to secure a contract to unify the Heavyweight Division against WBO-IBF-WBA champion Oleksandr Usyk in search of an undisputed champion in the division.
    “If no unification bout is secured within that time, the winner of Fury vs Wilder 3 must then fight next against the then reigning WBC Interim Heavyweight Champion.”

    BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
    Fury’s co-promoter Bob Arum revealed this week he’s interested in pitting Fury and Whyte against one another.
    He told iFL TV: “I haven’t spoken to [WBC President] Mauricio [Sulaiman] yet, we will have to see [what they rule on Fury’s mandatory].
    “I assume you are talking about Dillian Whyte, who is the number one contender.
    “And that could be a big, big fight for Tyson, particularly if we held it in UK.
    “That is not out of the question, Dillian Whyte is a capable heavyweight and a fight against Tyson Fury or Wilder [or] whoever wins would be a very interesting fight.”
    Whyte, however, is refusing to get his hopes up.
    The 33-year-old said: “Tyson Fury hasn’t spoken to anyone from my team about any fight.
    “If he was serious, he would have sent emails or phone calls and we’d have been talking.
    How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
    “If he was serious I would probably have even waited for him and not fought until December.
    “But these fights are big fights, big fights don’t get made in one or two months.
    ‘There’s a lot of things that need to happen.”

    Wilder, 35, has made it his sole mission to become a two-time heavyweight champ since being stopped by Fury last February.
    And Joshua reckons The Bronze Bomber will upset the applecart and hand Fury his first professional loss.
    When asked to predict the outcome of the fight, AJ said: “I’m not too bothered.
    “Look, because you’ve asked the question, let’s go with Wilder because he seems obsessed, like he really wants it.
    “He seems really focused on the task ahead, so, you know, a focused man is a dangerous man and he’s focused.
    “Wilder might get the decision. Actually, no, it has to be a knockout.”

    BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
    Joshua, 31, had initially tipped his fellow Brit to get the job done in the Vegas desert.
    In June, he said: “Fury won the last one so I’ll go with Fury because you’re only as good as your last performance.
    “Good luck to them both.”
    Joshua is still licking his wounds from his unanimous decision defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last month, which ended his second reign as unified heavyweight champion.
    The Watford warrior will rematch the slick southpaw early next year and is confident of avenging his second professional loss.

    He said: “I’ve watched the fight, analysed my preparations and identified my mistakes.
    “I’ve learnt my lesson. Don’t worry about me. My spirit is strong!”
    Immediately after the fight, AJ said: “If you look at it from a negative point of view, you’re never going to have that mindset that you can make a difference because you’re down anyway.
    “But if you look at it from a positive point of view, and realise, ‘Yeah, I took a loss.
    “‘But that’s a lesson, that’s a blessing. I can use it as fuel to get better.
    How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
    “‘And use it as fuel to right my wrongs. You can only get better from there.
    “So I’m not gonna hold myself down from the mistake I made, I’m only gonna uplift myself and say, ‘Actually, you know what? That was a tough fight.
    “‘But from that fight, I’m gonna go away, get my notepad out and find ways to improve.”

    Anna, 22, reportedly ditched Floyd, 44, in July after he was pictured with his arm around ex Gallienne Nabila in New York, back in July – although the couple are back together, according to the source.
    The source said Money was fuming when he read the message from Jake to Anna – in which he allegedly told the blonde she needed a “real man” and that Floyd was scared of him after fighting his brother Logan.
    Mayweather fought Jake’s older brother Logan Paul in June but was unable to knock the 26-year-old out meaning the exhibition ended without an official winner.
    There have been rumours about Mayweather fighting Jake ever since, and this week Jake claimed he had texted the champ asking for a “real pro fight”.
    A source told The Sun: “Floyd has been telling pals he’s had enough of Jake Paul.
    “He thinks he’s destroying the sport of boxing by being disrespectful about great boxers and saying he wants to be world champion.

    “Then when he saw Jake had private messaged Anna – that was the final straw.
    “He believes Jake did it to get under his skin and to disrespect him.
    “The message was about how Anna needs a real man not a cheat – referring to the pictures of Floyd and his ex.
    “And he apparently told her that Floyd was scared of him after fighting his brother Paul and how he would destroy him.
    “Jake was clearly doing in it to get in Floyd’s head but Floyd isn’t letting it go.
    “Floyd wants to get the fight sorted now, he’s in training and in talks over contracts. He knows the only way to shut Jake up is in the ring.”

    FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE
    But Fury hit back: “I knocked you out dosser! You are a weak man and you are getting knocked out.
    “I have come here looking a million dollars and you have turned up looking like a tramp.
    “He is a lying little dosser and an insecure little s***. He has been done, beaten, busted.
    “This little p***y got his a*** handed to him twice and he can’t do f*** all about it.”
    There was NO head to head at the end, as per instructions from worried promoter Bob Arum.

    FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE
    Though Wilder insists Fury robbed him with a range of scams.
    He said: “I don’t regret the claims I made and I will go to my grave believing it because I have confirmation and clarity.
    “Men and women lie but the eyes can’t, the eyes don’t lie.

    PURE FURY
    Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder have exchanged words at their final press conference before Saturday’s fight…and it’s been explosive!
    Fury has told Wilder face-to-face that he is a ‘weak little person’ for accusing him of cheating.
    The 35-year-old accused Fury of loading his gloves and paying off members of his team for the February 2020 war he lost.
    And, at the pre-fight press conference when Wilder was given the chance to retract and apologise, he doubled down on the claims, leaving Fury raging.
    The Brit giant fumed: “I don’t care, because it is coming from an unwell person.
    “He blamed me, his trainer, his costume, the referee, the commission, one might have been believable but not 50.
    “It just tells me he is a mentally weak little person who I am going to beat again.
    “I obliterated him in the rematch and he is getting it again.”

    ‘ANTI-CLIMAX’ 
    Tyson Fury is gutted Anthony Joshua’s defeat to Oleksandr Usyk cost him £75million.
    Saudi Arabia were ready to stump up mega-money to host the all-English undisputed heavyweight decider in August, helping raise around £200m for the pair to split.
    But Fury has no interest in gloating or sticking the boot in, despite feeling Joshua costing him.
    Fury told IFL: “It was a bit of an anti-climax but no part of me was happy that he lost.
    “We were all in the front room saying ‘come on win the fight, land a big right hand’.
    “Why would I be pleased? There just goes £75million down the toilet so I wasn’t pleased that he lost.”

    Tyson Fury defends his WBC belt against Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas this weekend.
    And punters can back three amazing specials on the blockbuster heavyweight showdown PLUS new Sky Bet customers can claim a whopping £40 in free bets!
    The pair meet for their trilogy fight in Las Vegas on Saturday.
    The ‘Gypsy King’ is an overwhelming 4/11 favourite to successfully defend his belt.
    But Wilder could prove a more difficult obstacle with new trainer Malik Scott in his corner.
    The 35-year-old was knocked out by Fury in February 2020 after their first contest ended in a controversial draw where the Briton twice hit the canvas.
    History could repeat itself this weekend with Fury available at 7/1 to win the contest having been knocked down with Sky Bet.
    Fury can also be backed at 9/1 to win by Unanimous Decision and Wilder to be knocked down in Rounds 1-6.
    But if you fancy an upset, YOU can back Wilder to win by KO/TKO in Rounds 1-3 & 3+ knockdowns in the fight at giants odds of 25/1.
    FULLY FOCUSED
    Deontay Wilder has shared the reason why he stayed silent at the first press conference ahead of his trilogy fight with Tyson Fury.
    The Bronze Bomber only spoke to give a brief statement before putting on headphones when he met Fury in June.
    And the American explained that the reason he done that is because he means business this time around, he hasn’t come to entertain.
    He told ESNEWS: “I just mean business, I didn’t come here to play around.
    “I’m strictly business when it comes to this fight. I’mma let him do the circus, let him promote it and do it.”
    FRIEND OR FOE
    Deontay Wilder needs to set aside friendships if he’s to have any chance of finally defeating Tyson Fury.
    That’s the view of legendary trainer Harold Knight, who says the appointment of Wilder’s friend Malik Scott as his head coach could spell trouble for the Bronze Bomber.
    The pair teamed up earlier this year to prepare for the highly anticipated trilogy bout with Fury.
    And Knight – who coached Scott and has worked with Dillian Whyte and Lennox Lewis – warned Wilder he needs to stay businesslike ahead of Saturday’s showdown.
    Knight told MyBettingSites: “From experience and being around Malik for a long time, it’s a fine line between friendship and business.
    “If Malik can keep it business rather than friendship with Wilder, I believe they can do some good things.
    “This is business, this is high stakes boxing, this is world championship boxing, legacy is on the line.”
    WALL FAN
    Deontay Wilder has been urged to ‘man up’ and accept defeat if he has any chance of beating Tyson Fury in their trilogy bout.
    Fury brilliantly beat Wilder in their February 2020 rematch, after they dramatically drew in 2018.
    Otto Wallin, the last man Fury beat before his crowning night over Wilder, has hit out at the Bronze Bomber for refusing to acknowledge his loss.
    And he fears it will hold back the former champion from recognising what went wrong and fixing it – playing right into Fury’s hands.
    Swedish fighter Wallin, 30, told SunSport: “I think that Fury is going to win again. I find it strange with Wilder, all the excuses.
    “That really makes me question, how much can you really improve if you have to keep coming up with excuses?
    “I feel like Wilder’s got to man up and take the loss, he lost fair and square to the better man, realise that and start working.”
    DRESS IT UP
    Deontay Wilder plans to wear another eccentric outfit into the ring when he faces Tyson Fury.
    Critics blamed the last one Wilder wore for his defeat to Fury the last time they met.
    But Wilder’s unphased by what they think because he has the best costumes that represent his tribe.
    He told Boxing Scene: “Since I became champion, you know, nobody has come out with a better dress, better uniform than I have.
    “And we’re going to continue with that. We’ll just have to see what I put on. It’s going to be something special.
    “It’s going to be something that I dedicate to my people, my tribe. So you can look forward to seeing it.”
    WILD VISION
    Deontay Wilder claims he already knows how his fight with Tyson Fury will end on the weekend.
    The Bronze Bomber reckons that he’ll give Fury a good hiding before sending him sprawling to the canvas.
    That’s the vision that Wilder’s seen in his head while preparing for the fight.
    The American told Boxingnews24: “I see me beating him up and knocking him out.”

    COSTUME QUIP
    Tyson Fury has taken a swipe at Deontay Wilder’s explanation for his loss to the Brit in their previous Trilogy clash.
    The Bronze bomber partly blamed the weight of his battery-operated ringwalk attire for his defeat.
    Ahead of their clash on Saturday, Fury Boxing Scene: “Maybe we should have him weigh his costume before he walks to the ring in it so there can’t be any excuses this time.”

    BIG BUCKS BOUT
    Tyson Fury and Deontay are set to bank an eyewatering £18million EACH in the final fight of their trilogy on Saturday.
    Both heavyweights will be battling the WBC Championship belt which Fury currently holds.
    And Wilder will be looking for revenge after losing courtesy of a seventh-round stoppage the last time the two boxers fought.
    How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
    PRANK PRESSURE
    Tyson Fury says he intends to pull hotel pranks on Deontay Wilder ahead of their trilogy bout in Las Vegas.
    The WBC heavyweight champ is defending his title against Wilder for the first time this Saturday.
    Fury told BT Sport: “I’m going to be terrorising him all night.
    “I’ll be phoning his phone up, knocking on his door and running away cause that’s how we roll!”
    OUTBOXED
    Tyson Fury has hit back at cheating claims and has vowed to punch Deontay Wilder’s face in during their fight at the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas.
    Fury told The MMA Hour: “We’ve boxed 19 rounds and he’s practically won two rounds out of 19.
    “With Wilder, in my opinion, he’s come out with all this stuff saying I’ve cheated.
    “Whether he believes it or not is another thing, but he has to try and sell the fight somehow.
    “He has to try and make a reason why he could win.
    “So he clearly couldn’t do the reasons why in a boxing fight so he has to make other reasons for his own self, for the people around him who are saying he can do this, he can do that.”

    WILDER WORRY
    David Price and Dillian Whyte fear that Deontay Wilder’s ego could cost him in his fight against Tyson Fury.
    Wilder, 35, was on the wrong end of a technical knockout the last time the fierce rivals went toe-to-toe
    Former heavyweight Price told BBC Radio Five Live: “Instead of admitting to his mistakes and shortcomings and trying to improve on what went wrong, he’s not wrong. It’s a bit narcissistic to think like that.”
    Whyte added: “Wilder, we don’t know if he’s recovered at all because he went on this crazy run of blaming stuff. He was acting crazy.
    “We don’t know where they’re at fully. The smart money would pick Fury to win again, but something inside of me is saying Wilder might spring a surprise on us.”
    DOSSER STOOL TOOL
    Tyson Fury is set to have his ringside stool showing an image of Deontay Wilder getting clobbered with a right hook.
    It is thought the Gypsy King, whose WBC champ belt is up for grabs, will have the stool as his seat in the ring in between rounds.
    The outspoken heavyweight is set to face Wilder at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

    DELAY PAYS
    Deontay Wilder admitted to being grateful his Trilogy fight with Tyson Fury was delayed.
    The fight was rescheduled for this Saturday after the Gypsy King tested positive for Covid-19 back in July.
    Wilder told Boxing Scene: “The delay was a blessing, a blessing for me.
    “The more they delayed it, the more time we had to work on our craft and art and to go over even more, strategically, go over the game plan that we’re gonna have come October the 9th.
    “As a fighter, you’re ready to go. You know, you’re ready to get back out there.
    “And this is the longest I’ve been out of the ring, especially when I’m anxious to get in the ring.”
    WILD CLAIM
    Deontay Wilder has dropped a shock retirement hint by insinuating he could quit after his Tyson Fury Trilogy fight.
    The Bronze Bomber is hoping to nab the WBC heavyweight title from the Gypsy King when their pair clash on Saturday night.
    Wilder told Last Stand Podcast: “I can feel it getting close, retirement.
    “I’m seeking one champion, one face, one name.
    “The only way I will be able to retire is if I achieve (that).
    “The faster I can get that, the faster I can retire and get the hell out of here.”
    WILD ATTIRE
    Images of Deontay Wilder’s ringwalk costume are reportedly starting to emerge ahead of the Bronze Bomber’s clash with Tyson Fury.
    Designers Cosmo and Donato are thought to have made the star a ‘significantly lighter’ costume after he blamed battery-powered garments for his loss to Fury in February 2020.

    FRESH AND WILD
    Deontay Wilder claims he is feeling ‘rejuvenated’ ahead of his duel with Tyson Fury.
    The pair are set to go head-to-head in Las Vegas’s T-Mobile Arena on Saturday with Fury’s WBC heavyweight belt up for grabs.

    “It just tells me he is a mentally weak little person who I am going to beat again.
    “I obliterated him in the rematch and he is getting it again.”

    But Fury added: “I knocked you out dosser! You are a weak man and you are getting knocked out.
    “I have come here looking a million dollars and you have turned up looking like a tramp.
    “He is a lying little dosser and an insecure little s***. He has been done, beaten, busted.
    “This little p***y got his a*** handed to him twice and he can’t do f*** all about it.”
