      EDDIE HALL put Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder to shame by BREAKING a punch machine in a warning to Hafthor Bjornsson.Hall, 33, takes on his 32-year-old strongman rival next year in a super-heavyweight boxing grudge match.

      And the Brit demonstrated the might of his punching power by breaking a machine that professional fighters AJ and Wilder failed to conquer.
      Hall tried his luck out on a Bio-Synergy bag at the Arnold Sports Festival over the weekend, just months after attempting the infamous ‘Power Cube’.
      The 2017 World’s Strongest Man winner unleashed a major hit on the machine.
      But as the number which measures the power started to climb, it suddenly turned off.
      Bio-Synergy tweeted: “Think Eddie Hall broke our machine, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp with that punch.”
      Boxing fans will be hoping to see some similar punches thrown between Hall and Bjornsson when they finally meet in the ring.

      And Hall remains confident he will get the better of the Icelandic giant, who demolished arm wrestler Devon Larratt with a first-round KO last month.
      Hall told Luke Fullbrook: “I’m very confident. You know how seriously I take things. I have shown absolutely zero content in terms of how good, or bad, I am.
      “I’m just going to let my fists do the talking. He can say or do whatever he wants, but at the end of the day I’m going to knock him out.

      “All that matters to me is that he’s getting knocked out.
      “I haven’t even started the mental game with Thor and he’s already calling me a bully. He better get a grip of himself as it’s going to get a lot worse.
      “Those press conferences are going to be very stressful for him.”

      Inside Deontay Wilder’s amazing car collection, from a £430k alligator-skin wrap Lamborghini to a metallic bronze Hummer

      by

      THE Bronze Bomber loves his motors.Deontay Wilder, 35, has amassed a £30million fortune during a boxing career that’s left many of his opponents dazed and confused and hitting the canvas.

      And his car collection is also a knockout, featuring a very special Lamborghini, a gentleman’s Rolls Royce, as well as a good, old American favourite.
      As Wilder gets ready to face Tyson Fury for a third time – at the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday – SunSport takes a look at the Alabama native’s fine garage.
      It’s just as impressive as his famous right hook.
      LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR, £430,000
      In 2015, after claiming the WBC heavyweight title from Bermane Stiverne, Wilder wanted to treat himself – and why not?
      He rolled up to Exotic Euro Cars in Woodland Hills, California, and reportedly splashed around £430,000 on a special Lamborghini Aventador.
      What made this Aventador stand out from the crowd was its faux alligator-skin wrap that would even leave Floyd Mayweather jealous.
      This £430k Lamborghini Aventador is Wilder’s most extravagant possession and has a faux alligator-skin wrapCredit: Instagram
      Boasting a cream leather interior, it’s unlike any Lamborghini we’ve ever seen.
      A coat of bronze was added to the wrap – after all he is the Bronze Bomber – to complete the look.
      The Aventador can reach a top speed of 217 mph, and is one of the fastest Lamborghinis ever manufactured.
      It has a 700-plus horse power V12 engine that can reach 0-60 mph in just 2.6 seconds.

      ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM, £347,000+
      Every man of wealth should have a Rolls-Royce, after all it’s a true gentleman’s car. Lucky for Wilder he has two.
      His Phantom is a convertible, perfect to cruise around in with those hot, Alabama summers.
      You won’t be shocked to discover that the Phantom is the most expensive Rolls-Royce available on the market.
      Again, Wilder has his custom-made with a bronze metallic coat that’s fitting with his Bronze Bomber moniker.
      His model, the Phantom VII, has a 563 horse power V12 engine that’s capable of hitting 60 mph in 5.1 seconds.
      Deontay often shares snaps sat on the bonnet of this beast on social media, and who can blame him.
      It’s certainly a ride of beauty.

      HUMMER H2, £70,000
      There was a time when you couldn’t move for Hummers in the US, especially among the sporting elite.
      However, the car manufacturer GM stopped making the Army-inspired SUVs in 2010.
      That’s now made the Hummer a collector’s item, something Wilder is well aware of, which is why he owns one.
      Reportedly worth around £70k, it’s bronze (again!) and it even has its own nickname – the Bomb Zquad Mobile.
      The 34-inch custom bronze and chrome star wheel rims are also engraved with the words Bomb Zquad on them.
      There was recent speculation that Wilder parted with his prized possession, but this was never confirmed.
      Another prized possession of Wilder’s is his Hummer H2, which was discontinued from 2010Credit: Instagram

      ROLLS-ROYCE CULLINAN, FROM £269,310
      Wilder’s most recent purchase, he was spied driving the Rolls-Royce SUV back in August 2019.
      Just like his Lamborghini Aventador, the champ has wrapped the expensive motor in glorious fashion.
      His Rolls-Royce has a mottled black and bronze snakeskin finish, as well as a smooth leather interior.
      The hub caps surrounding the 26-inch wheels are customised with Wilder’s now famous logo.
      Wilder had his Roller souped up by Dreamworks Motorsports in North Carolina by Adam Wolfe.
      The moment it was delivered to him, he took to Instagram to record a video of his new wheels.

      This Rolls-Royce Cullinan is a stunning vehicle that’s part of Wilder’s collection
      Wilder had it custom wrapped in a mottled black and bronze snakeskin finish
      Wilder took to Instagram to share his purchase with his followers
      DODGE CHALLENGER, £30,000+
      There’s nothing like a muscle car to complete your enviable garage.
      The cheapest motor in Deontay’s collection, you could argue that it’s his finest looking.
      His Dodge Challenger came with a starting price of around £30,000, but you can bet with extras and the custom paint job he had done to it, it’s now worth a lot more.
      Impressive hub caps, special side-opening doors and sprayed in shades of red – this motor looks like it belongs to the Fast & Furious franchise.
      We bet it drives like a dream too, thanks to a powerful 6.2-litre V8 engine.

      SUZUKI HAYABUSA, FROM £14,500
      When four wheels won’t cut it, Wilder has been known to try two to get some kicks.
      Back in 2014, he shared an image of a Hayabusa that had been jazzed up with an exterior that looks like it belongs in a Mad Max film.
      The Hayabusa was designed with the sole intention of being the fastest production motorbike of its day.
      Incredibly, it can reach a top speed of 186 mph. Opening the throttle reveals its brutal power.
      “Imma keep riding my baby as long as the weather’s right,” Wilder wrote in a Tweet with a pic of the beautiful bike.

      POLARIS SLINGSHOT, FROM £15,500
      The ultimate boy’s toy.
      Lewis Hamilton and Shaquille O’Neal also own the three-wheeled Polaris Slingshot that’s on every petrol head’s wishlist.
      And Deontay Wilder has shared images on social media, zooming around town on one.
      Launched in 2015, the Slingshot is capable of reaching 0-60 mph in under five seconds and is practically a street-legal go-kart.
      It’s powered by a 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine that was built in Germany alongside Mercedes-AMG V8 hardware.
      Who knew Wilder was such an adrenalin junkie?

      How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder face off in the fashion stakes with bespoke suits, gold slippers and diamond jewellery

      by

      TYSON FURY and Deontay Wilder may be fighting in the ring this weekend, but the duo are also competing to be the best dressed fighter ahead of their trilogy bout.Over the years, as the pair have squared up to one another at press conferences, they’ve both managed to cut stylish figures.

      Fury is well known for attending press events in bespoke suits, and he has continued that trend for Furv v Wilder III.
      It’s a far-cry when the Gypsy King wore a Batman costume in the build-up to his bout against Wladimir Klitschko, of course.
      But, thanks to help of his tailor Claudio Lugli, Fury’s outfits have become a centre piece in the build-up to the fights.
      Most recently, Fury donned a two piece that featured his own image sitting on a throne wearing a crown.
      While, ahead of the second fight he wore a suit that had messages regarding mental health
      Wilder, himself, has been more paired down this time round wearing sportswear. But, he’s still making sure he’s matched Fury when it comes to the jewellery stakes.
      DRESS TO IMPRESS
      As well eye-catching suits, Fury also has a penchant for wearing slippers with his suits, including a fetching gold pair.
      Not wanting to be outdone by the unbeaten Brit, Wilder marched to the MGM back in 2020 dressed to impress.
      The 35-year-old arrived to the event wearing a fur-collared leather coat, with a gold chain and medallion hanging around his neck.
      A gold-encrusted watch was also proudly shown off by the American, as well as a gold ring and jazzy, spiky footwear to prove he truly is the King of Bling.

      On Monday, Fury spoke with the British media in a £375 Versace dressing gown about Wilder’s reluctance to talk in a previous press conference.
      “I don’t care what they do. None of my business. I keep my own business to myself and I don’t really care what that big dosser does, nothing,” he told Sky Sports.
      “I don’t care what he does. If he talks or he doesn’t. It doesn’t make any difference to me. Mind games don’t work with me anyway.”
      Fury also warned Wilder that he doesn’t matter how well prepared he is for the fight, the outcome will still be the same.

      He said: “I don’t think it matters, what he does, because it’s not about him, it’s about me, what I do. It wouldn’t matter if he ran around the ring in a circle, if he comes forward throwing bombs.
      “It doesn’t make any difference. When we’re in there, I’ll adjust to whatever it is on the night and what he’s going to do.
      “Winning is winning. An inch or a mile. I’ll take a knockout or I’ll take a points victory. It doesn’t matter, as long as you get the win, you move on to the next one.”

      Michael Bisping picks five boxing and UFC fights he wants to see including Tyson Fury, Conor McGregor and Jake Paul

      by

      MICHAEL BISPING has enjoyed the most famous MMA career in British history – but now watches on as a fan at heart. The British legend, who retired in 2018, is now developing a fledging commentary and punditry career post-fighting.
      UFC legend and now commentator Michael BispingCredit: Getty
      He is working for the UFC as an analyst and dipping his toes into the boxing world for BT Sports.
      So it puts him in a good position to lay out five fights across the two sports that fans must see.
      Bisping, talking to SunSport ahead of a tour later this month, picks the best of the bunch.
      Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua
      MB: It just shows the problems with boxing, it’s so unpredictable. 
      Oleksandr Usyk was unbelievable, he was absolutely fantastic and he outboxed Anthony Joshua, who had a terrible game plan and approach. 
      Hopefully he comes back and beats Usyk in the rematch and then we get Tyson Fury versus Joshua, that’s one that everyone wants to see.
      (Although, after that I think Tyson Fury would handle that pretty easily, but, you never know).
      Tyson Fury and heavyweight rival Antony Joshua

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      Jorge Masvidal vs Leon Edwards 
      I think we are going to get this. 
      And we remember back in 2019, Masvidal hit him with the ‘Three Piece and a Soda’.
      Come on, that one is way overdue. 
      Leon Edwards and UFC welterweight rival Jorge Masvidal
      Jon Jones vs Francis Ngannou 
      That’s a classic, Jones against anyone in the heavyweight division. 
      Of course, he got in trouble again recently, and I hope that he figures it out and exercises his demons, because he’s obviously got some stuff going on there. 
      He needs to stay away from alcohol, he needs to figure that out sadly and get back to the octagon. 
      UFC legend Jon Jones and heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou
      Francis Ngannou vs Stipe Miocic 3
      Jones versus Stipe would also be amazing. 
      But, I’d also like to see Stipe versus Ngannou, the rubber match.

      Conor McGregor vs Tony Ferguson
      For Conor McGregor coming back and fighting Dustin Poirier for the third time in a row, when he got knocked out and his leg snapped like a little twig, I don’t think that’s good. 
      I think he needs a build up fight, a comeback fight. You don’t know if he’s going to be the same. 
      Here’s one I’d say, for McGregor’s comeback fight, I’d say the perfect person is Tony Ferguson. 
      Tony Ferguson’s had a little bit of a fall from grace recently and it looks like things might be going down for him. 
      He’s very hit-able and he’s got a name value, I think Ferguson versus McGregor makes a lot sense. 
      Michael Bisping wants Tony Ferguson to fight Conor McGregor
      Jake Paul vs Anyone who can box
      I’d like to see Jake Paul go up against someone in the UFC.
      I’d also like him to fight a boxer, if I’m completely honest, but there’s plenty of people in the UFC roster that could whoop Jake Paul with great ease. 
      I would beat the s*** out of Jake Paul with one eye and I haven’t stepped foot in a ring for a very, very long time. 
      There’s plenty of others, Masvidal would take care of him pretty easily. Nate Diaz would take care of him, Poirier too. 
      That’s without getting into the heavier weight classes, they’re all lighter weights. But fair play to Jake Paul, what he’s doing is great.

      Tyson Fury offers to train Anthony Joshua for Oleksandr Usyk rematch and guarantees rival victory over Ukrainian

      by

      TYSON FURY has remarkably offered to TRAIN heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.Joshua was comprehensively outboxed by the Ukrainian in a one-sided fight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last month, relinquishing his three world titles for a second time.

      The defeat leaves a clash with WBC champion Fury dead in the water as The Gypsy King prepares to take on Deontay Wilder for a third time in Las Vegas this weekend.
      But Fury, who switched trainers from Ben Davison to SugarHill Steward before his win over Wilder in February last year, believes he and SugarHill could give Joshua the pointers he needs to overcome Usyk.
      Speaking about Joshua’s loss, he told Steve Bunce on BBC’s 5 Live Boxing podcast: “Crazy times because a lot of people who don’t know about boxing would say this smaller guy [Usyk] doesn’t look a specimen like AJ [and] would get beat by him – before that [it was] Ruiz.
      “They’re obviously good fighters that have beat him and the landscape has changed. But do I like to kick a man when he’s down? Nope, not really.
      “Do I think he can beat Usyk in a rematch? Definitely, if me and SugarHill trained him for it.
      “We could give him the victory in that fight and then I wouldn’t be able to train him for the fight vs me.”
      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH

      When asked whether he could make the difference for Joshua against Usyk, he simply added: “For sure.”
      Fury and Joshua looked set to meet in the summer in a huge undisputed fight before an arbitrator ruled Wilder was entitled to a trilogy bout.
      So Fury and Wilder will now meet once more this weekend as the Brit looks to successfully defend his world title for the first time.
      If he wins, Fury could face WBC mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte before he takes on the winner of the Usyk-AJ rematch.
      Speaking to iFL TV, the 33-year-old’s promoter Bob Arum said: “I haven’t spoken to [WBC President] Mauricio [Sulaiman] yet, we will have to see [what they rule on Fury’s mandatory].
      How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
      “I assume you are talking about Dillian Whyte, who is the No1 contender.
      “And that could be a big, big fight for Tyson, particularly if we held it in the 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.”

      Tommy told Paul: “Get your figures up and then we can talk.”
      But big brother Tyson, 33, has told him and Paul to ‘get some balls’ and finally go toe-to-toe in the ring.
      When asked for his thoughts on the potential fight between the feuding youngsters, Fury told Behind The Gloves: “Hopefully it happens.
      “I hope they can both get some balls and sign the f***ing contract.
      “Make this fight happen and give the world the fight they want to see.
      “I want to see it. Everybody wants to see this fight.”

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      Addressing Paul, Fury – who is preparing for his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder – continued: “If you’re watching Jake: Get this fight done.
      “You and Tommy. Get it on.”
      Fury signed a two-fight deal with network Showtime in the summer and made his US debut in August, beating Paul’s sparring partner Anthony Taylor.
      Later that night, Paul, 24, scored his biggest win against ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley – taking his career record to 4-0 as a pro.
      Fury then turned down TWO offers from Paul to fight, claiming they were ‘not even worth talking about’.
      The American then revealed he would pay Fury $1million out of his own pocket to get the fight over the line.
      But as of now, the pair are yet to sign terms – with Tyson stepping in to play the role of middle-man.

      Tyson Fury brands himself ‘Professor X without the wheels’ as he insists Deontay Wilder’s mind games won’t work on him

      by

      TYSON FURY has likened himself to X-Men’s Professor X, insisting rival Deontay Wilder’s mind games won’t work ahead of Saturday’s trilogy fight in Las Vegas. The Brit meets Wilder for the third and possibly final time at the T-Mobile Arena.

      Fury says he’s not bothered if his rival talks and says the mind games don’t work on him – likening himself to Marvel superhero Professor X, who could read and control the minds of others.
      He told Sky Sports: “I keep my own business to myself and I don’t really care what that big dosser does, nothing.
      “I don’t care what he does. If he talks or he doesn’t. It doesn’t make any difference to me.
      “Mind games don’t work with me anyway.
      “I’m like Professor X without the wheels.”
      The pair first met back in 2018, but the fight ended in a draw.

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      Fury won the 2020 rematch convincingly in round eight to strip Wilder of his WBC heavyweight title.
      Wilder has since accused Fury of cheating in their second fight, saying he tampered with his gloves to put his fist in an improper position.
      He also believes that Fury put a hard object inside his gloves to deal more damage with each punch. 
      The next strange claim was that his water was spiked, potentially by his co-trainer at the time Mark Breland.
      And then he blamed fatigue due to the weight of his ring walk costume. 
      The American also accused and fired Breland for disloyalty after he threw in the towel to end the fight.
      And Wilder sticks by his wild claims, doubling down ahead of the fight saying Fury is ‘coming up with a masterplan to cheat again’.
      Fury’s dad John has advised Wilder to take a leaf out of former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua’s book.
      Joshua was gracious in defeat when he lost his WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight world titles to Oleksandr Usyk at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in late September.
      John said: “I got asked about Wilder being like AJ.
      “You could never compare the two men. AJ had dignity in defeat, he knows what’s gone wrong and he’s trying to put it right and he will do.

      “The other one’s in total denial and has been talking absolute rubbish for the last two years.
      “He’s still talking rubbish and that’s what puts me off him as a fighter and that’s why in my opinion he cannot improve because of his mindset.
      “Tyson will know when to fight and when to box and I don’t think Wilder has the intelligence to cope with that on any level at all. Not knocking him it’s just the character he’s shown to me in defeat.
      “How can you learn in defeat when you carry on like that?
      “The American people love Tyson and I love the American people but I like men amongst men, I like men to be men. 
      You could never compare the two men. AJ had dignity in defeat, he knows what’s gone wrong and he’s trying to put it right and he will do.John Fury
      “I don’t want them to be like spoilt children in defeat. I admire men in defeat with dignity.
      “Look at Manny Pacquiao the other day. You didn’t see him doing that, blaming his costume, blaming his team, slandering world champions, giving professional people a bad name. You can’t do that, it’s defamation of character.
      “Like I said before I would have had him in court, he would never have got a second fight but that’s politics and that’s out of my hands and like I said, I’ve got no control over it at all.”
      Fury insists he doesn’t care if he wins by an inch or a mile on Saturday as long as he gets the job done.
      Fury added: “I don’t think it matters, what he does, because it’s not about him, it’s about me, what I do.
      “It wouldn’t matter if he ran around the ring in a circle, if he comes forward throwing bombs.

      Ruiz has had what looks like a sword-wielding Roman centurion tattooed on his back.
      It is underneath his previous ‘victorious’ tattoo.
      The soldier’s elaborate armour can clearly be seen with it stretching down onto his right bum cheek.
      And on his left one, there appears to be a human face in pain.
      Ruiz shared a picture of him showing off the new ink on social media.
      The 32-year-old is wearing just a black pair of boxers with his biceps flexed.

      He captioned the shot: “Back and cheeks done. Lol.
      “Hahahaha. Thanks to my boy, @ish_tattoos.”
      Henry was one of several fans to reply and he commented on the typically large fighter’s body shape.
      He wrote: “Great to see the champ @Andy_destroyer1 looking so well!”
      Ruiz loves tattoos.
      Like his heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua, the Mexican-American brawler boasts several tatts dotted around his torso.
      But what do all his tattoos mean?
      SunSport dissected the body art – piece by piece – to understand the mindset of the man nicknamed ‘The Destroyer’.
      Ruiz was last in action in May against veteran heavyweight Chris Arreola and laboured to a unanimous decision victory over the 40-year-old.
      Mexico’s first heavyweight champion is itching to get back into the ring and is currently eying clashes with Adam Kownacki, Luis Ortiz and former IBF titleholder Charles Martin.
      He told Fight Hype: “We’re looking at Adam Kownacki, he’s going to be fighting in October.

      “There’s Charles Martin, Luis Ortiz. There’s a lot of guys out there for me. I just gotta stay busy and stay active.”
      Ruiz’s return is tentatively slated for December, although that’s contingent on him landing an opponent.
      He recently underwent surgery on his bothersome right knee but is on the road to recovery.
