      by

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER is set to put all his belts on the line in Conor McGregor’s weight class for their highly anticipated rematch, according to a close source.The 50-0 undefeated champ, 44, and Irish MMA star McGregor were in talks for a sensational billion dollar rematch, as revealed by The Sun earlier this year.

      Mayweather is currently in training for his exhibition fight with YouTuber Logan Paul
      However, the fight was temporarily scuppered after Notorious, 32, was beaten by American Dustin Poirier in a shock KO defeat in January.
      McGregor, who was defeated by Money in 2017, has said he is ready for the rematch and even revealed how he would train for the fight, in an impromptu Twitter Q&A on Sunday.
      However, Mayweather is said to be growing impatient with McGregor and wants a deal to be hashed out soon.
      A source in the Mayweather camp told The Sun: “Floyd is getting mad now, he wants the fight to go ahead next year.
      “He’s been telling everyone in his camp he’s going to beat the hell out of him and saying he’s got a dead record.
      “Floyd is even willing to put all his belts in McGregor’s weight class on the line because he’s so sure he can beat him again easily.
      “Right now Floyd is super-focused on his boxing…
      “He even asked his girlfriend to move out temporarily so he could train without distraction.”

      Money officially retired from professional boxing in 2017 after beating McGregor in ten rounds.
      He did come back a year later to face featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in a brutal, one-round exhibition beating.
      For now, Mayweather is currently gearing up to fight YouTuber Logan Paul in an exhibition match on June 6.
      Money looks in incredible shape after sharing pictures of his latest training session – just days after kicking Brit stripper Anna Monroe out of his £8million mansion.

      Watch Eddie Hall punch Anthony Joshua protege Lawrence Okolie so hard in boxing training he’s forced to swap body pads

      by

      EDDIE HALL’s punching power in training was so immense it forced WBO cruiserweight king Lawrence Okolie to swap body pads.The 2017 World’s Strongest Man champion is preparing to face his rival Hafthor Bjornsson in September in what has been dubbed the ‘heaviest boxing match in history’.
      Eddie Hall showed off his power during a training session with Lawrence Okolie
      WBO cruiserweight champion Okolie put on the body pad to receive punches from Hall
      Hall, 33, has released footage on his YouTube channel of him being put through his paces by unbeaten British star Okolie.
      And the six-time UK’s Strongest Man champ has once again showed off his power as he hammered away at Okolie’s chest.
      The 28-year-old even had to swap a body pad for a heavier one during the workout after feeling the explosiveness of the Beast.
      Commenting during the session, Okolie remarked: “Without a body bag, you’d really be feeling these shots. Those are ones you don’t take, you run.”
      He then joked to Hall: “You know I’m not actually Thor.”
      Okolie then spoke of feeling slightly intimidated by the 26st Hall who impressed the world champion with his speed and power.
      The 16-0 Hackney native said: “It’s scary, bro. I’m trying to soak it and stay there, but my body’s like no.
      “I know the camera’s rolling and I want to stay there.”

      Hall earlier this month called out YouTuber Jake Paul over a potential bout, despite there being an 11 stone weight difference between the pair.
      He said: “I would [fight Jake Paul] actually. He’s actually surprised a lot of people, a lot of people laughed at Jake Paul.
      “But he came out of the woodwork, he’s obviously trained very hard and he’s smashed his first victims in the ring, and he’s lined up a few more.
      “Massive size difference, but there is between me and Thor, and Mike Tyson is living proof that size doesn’t really matter in the ring.
      “It’s about what you do in there, how fast you are, how powerful and agile you are. That’s what matters.
      “So if the money is right, I would 100 per cent fight Jake Paul. Why not? Good exposure for me, good exposure for him, and earn a few quid in doing so.
      “I would probably want five minimum, £5million. So yeah, I’d fight Jake Paul for £5m. So Jake Paul bro, let’s get it on after Thor, eh?”

      Josh Taylor says Jose Ramirez fight not as scary as dropping girlfriend’s engagement ring into shark-infested sea

      by

      JOSH TAYLOR is in deep waters on Saturday night but insists his shot at undisputed immortality will be less scary than dropping his girlfriend’s engagement ring in the shark-infested sea.The Tartan Tornado sneaked a sparkler out to Dubai in December to propose to darling Danielle but forgot the little box was inside his trunks as he dived off a yacht.

      The 30-year-old is not a huge fan of the water so when trainer and friend Ben Davison started waving frantically at the WBA and IBF super-light king, he thought he had a problem with Jaws, not jewels.
      Ahead of the clash with Jose Ramirez, the 17-0 king told SunSport: “The captain told us we could have a swim and I completely forgot the ring was in my pocket and dived in the sea.
      “I saw Ben panic and luckily he shouted ‘look what’s that behind you’
      “I am a bit nervous in the sea and was worried it was a shark but I turned around and it was the ring box floating and bobbing in the ocean. And thankfully Danielle never noticed.
      “That’s more nerve racking than any fight.
      “If I had lost the ring to the sea we would have been on the first plane home so it went straight in a bag after that and, after I had calmed down, I got the job done.”

      If the Prestonpans ace can get the job done in Las Vegas he will join one of the most elite clubs in boxing’s history by holding all four major belts, in his weight class, simultaneously.
      Shamefully, both Sky Sports and BT Sport have opted against showing the magnificent meeting of two undefeated 10st savages in the prime of their lives, preferring to show circus acts like 54-year-Mike Tyson and YouTube prankster Logan Paul in fake fights.
      Thankfully Taylor prefers a quiet life over the border and under the radar, where he can focus on emulating his hero and fellow Scot Ken Buchanan, 75, who became undisputed lightweight champ fifty years ago.
      The motorbike nut said: “My career has gone under the radar a little but that has always been my style as a person. 
      “I like to go about my business quietly, I am no show pony.
      “It does not bother me when other people are getting hype or attention. 
      “I quite like being left alone to do my talking in the ring, with my fists and focus on the results. 
      “I don’t want to be a superstar.”

      Jake Paul entered elite company
      Taylor is a brilliantly complex character, the heartbreaking death of his beloved dog – named after Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao – this year led to him getting a tattoo of the staff on his thigh.
      And he was his snarling, biting best in Sin City this week, growling at weight-cutting WBC and WBO boss Ramirez on Thursday to “get back in the sauna-suit you fat c***”, in that brilliant way of swearing only Scotsmen have.
      Former stablemate Carl Frampton even nicknamed the tall southpaw ‘Hank’ after the Jim Carey character from ‘Me, Myself and Irene’ who suffered with a split personality – and a dodgy trim.
      “My ‘Hank’ nickname originally came because when I shadow box I am a bit herky jerky, like the character,” he claimed.
      “And then one time I had a really bad haircut with a flat top and then I looked even more like him and it has stuck until this day.
      Josh Taylor is already a Scottish hero and is on the verge of becoming an iconCredit: PA
      “Closer to fights my mentality changes, a bit like the film character, my spitefulness and nastiness comes out.
      “I start coming down in weight and getting a bit cranky, I slip into fight mode and find myself saying things to get under my opponents skin.
      “It is all part of the psychology, fight week is all about getting in your opponent’s head as you try to wage warfare on them.
      “I feel my mood change, I become a bit more quiet, I don’t want to have fun or joke with people. I don’t feel like a person or an animal, my mood just gets a little bit darker.”

      Taylor’s lifelong love of speed and the Isle of Man TT race, that has claimed 151 lives since its debut in 1907, has given him the ideal mentality for boxing that will stand him in perfect stead on Saturday night.
      “It is very dangerous and if you come off in the race you are lucky to survive,” he said. “But it comes down to personal choice, everyone involved knows the risks and dangers involved. 
      “There are only a select few people in the world who do it and they want to, for the excitement and adrenaline and competition.
      “I don’t think about the dangers of boxing before I go in the ring every time. I can’t even consider the fact that every time I go to work I could be paralised, brain damaged or killed.
      “If I let those thoughts come into my head I would never box again. 
      “Instead, I focus on my love of the sport, the mental, physical and tactical challenge. And becoming a champion, an undisputed world champion”

      Tyson Fury wears gold £280k watch as he treats pregnant wife Paris and their kids to ice cream on holiday in Miami

      Taking a break from his title fight preparation, Tyson wore an eye-catching Versace shirt, a WBC cap and a chunky silver cross around his neck.
      The expensive watch is easily affordable for Tyson, who is said to be worth around £40million. That figure will rise significantly with a mega fight due this summer with either Anthony Joshua or Deontay Wilder.
      Tyson and pregnant wife Paris held hands with youngest son Prince Adonis, two, after visiting the Sugar Factory for some sweet treats.
      The fashion-loving family also took a tour at the famous Versace mansion, with Paris sharing some pics on Instagram.
      Paris flew over to the States with the couple’s kids after Tyson was pictured being covered in suntan lotion by female fans around a hotel pool.

      The pair have been more loved-up than ever since her arrival, with Tyson calling her “the hottest blonde about”.
      Earlier this week Tyson slammed ‘joke’ Deontay Wilder for demanding £14million to step aside to let him fight Anthony Joshua.
      He could be set to face Wilder for a third time after a US judge ruled in favour of the American in arbitration.

      Only paying the former WBC champion compensation money could keep his super-fight with AJ alive.
      But in an Instagram post, Fury took aim at his heavyweight rival for his step aside demands and seemingly accepted the possibility of a trilogy bout.

      He wrote: “What a joke @bronzebomber has become asked for 20 million to move over #joker looks like I have to crack his skull again!”
      Fury, 32, dethroned Wilder, 35, of the WBC belt in February 2020 but their contract included an immediate rematch.
      That never came to fruition amid the coronavirus pandemic and the Gypsy King’s team argued the stipulation expired in October.
      Tyson Fury with promoter Bob Arum
      As a result, they entered talks with Joshua, 31, all while Wilder took his case to civil court and returned to training with new Malik Scott.
      And after months the decision went his way, meaning Fury is faced with fighting him for a third time, after their first ended in a draw.
      To salvage the historic undisputed title decider, paying Wilder a compensation fee emerged as an option.

      But his new trainer Scott, who he beat in 2014, threw out that idea, as he all-but confirmed the heavyweight is prioritising revenge over a payday.
      Scott, 40, posted: “Wilder declined and had no interest in step-aside money. Y’all dealing with a whole different type motherf***a over here.
      “He want the blood, not that step-aside money. ‘Retribution is upon us’.”
      Fury’s promoter Bob Arum also told ESPN: “We’re not paying Wilder to step aside.
      “It’s better to get rid of him. We can make Fury vs AJ for November or December.”

      The veteran promoter revealed he has reserved the new 65,000-seater Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for July 24 should Fury have to box Wilder again.
      Joshua’s backer Eddie Hearn, a driving force in securing a deal for the all-British unification, hopes the historic clash can still be saved.
      But he admitted it is out of his hands and is lining up a back-up option in Oleksandr Usyk, 34, who is currently AJ’s WBO mandatory challenger.
      AJ and the Gypsy King were all-but ready to put every heavyweight belt on the line on August 14 in Saudi Arabia.
      But according to The Athletic, talks are underway for Joshua to face Usyk instead on either August 21 or 28 should Fury chose to fight Wilder.

      Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 could take place just ONE week before Anthony Joshua fights Oleksandr Usyk

      A date of August 14 in Saudi Arabia looked set to be announced before disaster struck just a few days ago.
      A US judge ruled in favour of Wilder on a contract dispute over whether the American had the right to a third fight with The Gypsy King.
      The decision means Fury will now take on Wilder again, 18 months after he stopped him inside seven rounds.
      And Joshua looks set for a clash with his WBO mandatory challenger Usyk, with both fights potentially taking place in August.
      On Thursday, The Athletic’s Mike Coppinger said: “One date being considered for a trilogy heavyweight title fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder: Aug. 14.
      “Bob Arum told @MarkKriegel the other day Top Rank was looking at July 24 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.”
      And on Friday, he added: “As I reported yesterday, Aug. 21 and Aug. 28 two dates being explored for a potential Anthony Joshua-Oleksandr Usyk fight.”
      If Fury and Joshua come through their fights against Wilder and Usyk, The Gypsy King’s promoter Bob Arum has insisted the plan is for the two champions to clash in December.

      And Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn said: “AJ wants to fight this summer, Oleksandr Usyk is the mandatory, we have two or three other options as well.
      “In an ideal world, if the right deal could be done, to maintain those belts and to keep the Fury fight alive for December, but for the undisputed as well.”
      But the bouts in between pose a major threat to a potential all-British undisputed fight.
      Wilder had not lost in 43 professional fights before Fury beat him last year, with the only blemish on his record up to that point coming in a draw against the Brit in 2018.
      And Olympic gold medallist Usyk still has a perfect record having beaten the likes of Mairis Briedis, Murat Gassiev, Tony Bellew and Derek Chisora.

      Why do people call Tyson Fury ‘Luke’?

      by

      TYSON FURY has one of the meanest sounding names in world boxing today, and he’s also one of the best fighters in the sport. Fury has ignited rivalries with fellow Brits Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte in recent years, and both have used the same piece of information against him in verbal sparring.
      Tyson Fury has been called ‘Luke’ by both Anthony Joshua and Dillian WhyteCredit: Getty
      Joshua and Whyte have called Fury ‘Luke’, with boxing fans now cottoning on to the mutual jibe.
      Why do people call Tyson Fury ‘Luke’?
      Well, both Joshua and Whyte believe Fury’s actual first name to be Luke.
      Luke is actually Fury’s middle name, as listed on Companies House, Boxrec and Wikipedia.
      But Whyte thinks otherwise, as he told SunSport in an exclusive interview last year.

      “My real name is Dillian. I know his real name is Luke,” Whyte told SunSport last year. “He changed it to Tyson to make himself sound harder.
      “People can have a little look around on the internet and see for themselves.
      “In boxing, the name Tyson is a lot more sellable than Luke.
      “A lot of what Tyson does and says is a game, you can never take anything he says seriously or at face value.
      “He might say he wants to fight me sometimes but how can you trust a man who doesn’t even use his own name?”
      If there was an arbitration going on, why announce to the world we are fighting! The fight was signed! UNDISPUTED 💥Bare knuckle? You’re a good kid, don’t play with me Luke! I’ll slap your bald head & you’ll do nothing! Waste man. https://t.co/d9PLjAesj6— Anthony Joshua (@anthonyjoshua) May 19, 2021

      Joshua then went ahead and used the same jab against Fury on Twitter earlier this week when the pair went back and forth over their fallen-through heavyweight showdown.
      “If there was an arbitration going on, why announce to the world we are fighting!” he wrote.
      “The fight was signed! UNDISPUTED. Bare knuckle? You’re a good kid, don’t play with me Luke! I’ll slap your bald head & you’ll do nothing! Waste man.” More

      And Taylor did not pull any punches when the pair came face-to-face.

      “Next time back it up to your f*****g face, ok?”
      Taylor and Ramirez – both of whom are undefeated – came head to head in a fiery first face-off as they prepare to do battle in Las Vegas for all four versions of the super-lightweight world title.
      And the Edinburgh-born fighter is supremely confident he can reach the pinnacle of the sport by becoming undisputed champion.
      Speaking about the clash last month, he said: “I’m flying – I’m way ahead of schedule. My weight is bang on target and I’m hitting PBs in the gym.
      “I’m absolutely smashing the numbers and I just can’t wait to get over there now.
      “It’s been a long 12-week camp and I just want to get over to the sunshine and get down to work.

      “I’ve done all my homework on Ramiriz. He doesn’t really do anything in his fights.
      “But I’ll tell you after the fight on May 22 if there’s anything that surprises me.”
      Taylor, who is 17-0 as a professional, puts his super-lightweight IBF and WBA straps on the line in Las Vegas where he is looking to win the WBC and WBO straps held by his American rival.
      Should Taylor emerge victorious in Sin City, he would become Scotland’s second undisputed champion, and first in 50 years.
      Ken Buchanan created history in 1971 when he beat Ruben Navarro for the WBA and WBC lightweight tiles, and Taylor is looking to follow in his footsteps.
      But he knows he will have to be at his best if he wishes to inflict a first professional defeat on Ramirez.

      Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua LIVE updates: Gypsy King ‘to face Wilder on July 24’ as AJ set to fight Usyk – latest

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA and Tyson Fury are in training for their HUGE heavyweight world title fight.But there has been fresh dispute over the confirmation of the fight with Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 ordered by a US judge.
      And it’s been suggested by Bob Arum that trilogy showdown will be on July 24.
      We’ll be bringing you ALL of the latest developments on the bout plus all of the news from the world of boxing right here…
      RAGING FURY
      Tyson Fury has sent a chilling warning to Deontay Wilder ahead of their trilogy fight in July.
      He told The Athletic: “Deontay Wilder’s a b***h, p***y, s**thouse an excuse maker and whoever it is in my next fight I don’t care who it is they are getting smashed to bits.
      “I don’t care if it’s King Kong, Godzilla a great white shark, I don’t care who it is they are getting severely damaged.
      “I’ve always had exceptional talent, exceptional ability to beat anybody that’s been put in front of me hence being unbeaten in 13 years. Whoever the next opponent is he is going to pay the price for all this messing around I’ve had over the last year.
      “Covid f****d things up a lot, I was supposed to fight many different people, none of it has materialised. I’m being told now I’m fighting soon. I’m fit, ready to go, just got to cross all the ts and dot the is and I’m going to make mincemeat of whoever they put in front of me.”
      Fury and Wilder are set to do battle for a third time
      CASH BACK
      Anthony Joshua wants to know where Tyson Fury’s infamous £7million charity donation is before he signs up for a £20m bare-knuckle bout.
      Watford’s 31-year-old WBA, IBF and WBO champ is furious his summer undisputed showdown with the WBC Gypsy King has been KO’d by his contractual obligation to fight Deontay Wilder for a third time.
      And the warring boxers swapped Twitter insults on Wednesday night as things heated up between the pair, with Fury making the offer of a massive-money straightener.
      Joshua then retweeted a fan comment that called into question Fury’s claim to have donated his huge purse from his 2018 draw with Deontay Wilder to good causes.
      The message Joshua reposted said: “20M the f***ing homeless are still waiting on the 7M you promised them two years ago you sham.”
      AR YOU SERIOUS?
      Tyson Fury will fight Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas on July 24, his promoter Bob Arum insists.
      The American former heavyweight champion has thrown a spanner in the works of the Gypsy King’s undisputed clash with Anthony Joshua after a judge said his trilogy with Fury must go ahead.
      And after insisting Fury, 32, would not pay step-aside money, Arum told Boxing Social: “There’s no chance he [Wilder] will step aside.
      “Whatever it is, the judge said he had a right to the rematch and we are going to go ahead with it. It will definitely be in Las Vegas.
      “It is what it is. He will take out his frustration and anger on Wilder and he tells me he will knock Wilder out quicker than he did last time.”
      YOU MAE REGRET IT
      Jake Paul hit back at Tyson and Tommy Fury’s taunts by sharing a flirty ‘message’ from his rival’s girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague – only for her to claim it was a fake.
      World heavyweight king Tyson and half-brother Tommy say the latter would destroy the YouTuber in the ring – showing the unbeaten American what professional boxing was really like.
      But Paul labelled the Furys ‘desperate’ for enlisting NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal to help call him out and insisted he was leagues above Tommy.  
      The social media star then added controversy to the row by posting an Instagram image of an alleged DM from Molly-Mae in 2018.
      According to Paul’s picture, she wrote: “Might be coming to America later this year and have always been a fan of your videos (heart emoji). Maybe you can show me around?!”
      But Molly-Mae, who met Tommy on Love Island in 2019, scoffed at that claim.
      The 21-year-old tweeted: “Times must be hard when you’re having to fake a DM…. (followed by two sad emojis)…photoshop is scary.”

      GOOD MORNING BOXING FANS
      Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder are likely to conclude their trilogy fights on July 24.
      The big bout will probably take place at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, which is where one of the sport’s biggest rivalries today will come to a climax.
      Fury seemed set for an all-British unification fight with Anthony Joshua but an arbitration court judge declared that Wilder is entitled to a rematch, after The Bronze Bomber turned down a step-aside fee.
      That means Joshua may have to fight Oleksandr Usyk a month later after the WBO issued AJ with a 48-hour deadline on Thursday.
      Wilder has broken his silence amid ongoing talks of a third fight against Tyson Fury.
      The American bruiser and The Gypsy King first touched gloves three years ago in a fight that ended in a controversial draw as many claimed the British superstar deserved the victory.
      The two heavyweights met again last year when Fury beat Wilder with a technical knockout in the seventh round.
      The Bronze Bomber is now expected to get his opportunity to reclaim his WBC belt this coming summer.
      Wilder had a message for Fury as he quoted Tupac’s ‘Hail Mary’ alongside a new workout video and wrote: “Revenge is the sweetest JOY next to getting p***y”.
      Meanwhile, Fury has shared a bizarre video of himself, his brother Tommy, his son Prince, trainer SugarHill Steward and NBA legend Shaquille O’Neill calling the Paul brothers out.
      To be more exact, Tommy and the rest of the crew are challenging Jake Paul to a fight.
      Tyson’s brother, a 5-0 light heavyweight boxer, has been in a war of words with the youngest of the Paul brothers and a fight between the two has long been touted.
      Tommy has stated that he would have broken Jake’s jaw if he tried the same thing he did with Floyd Mayweather.
      Paul and Mayweather had a heated confrontation in front of the cameras until the YouTube personality grabbed Mayweather’s cap and ran away before the legendary boxer and some others chased after him.
      Fury insists it would have been different if he were in Money’s shoes as the controversial celebrity would have been knocked out.

      WILDER BREAKS SILENCE
      Deontay Wilder has broken his silence amid talks of a third fight against Tyson Fury.
      Wilder’s successful legal case to enforce a third meeting with Fury may have scrapped plans for the all-British unification showdown between The Gupsy King and Anthony Joshua.
      The Bronze Bomber turned down a step-aside fee, which could amount to approximately £20million.
      Thus, the American boxer is now expected to get his opportunity to reclaim his WBC belt at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on 24 July, while Oleksandr Usyk could face Joshua a month later.

      MIND THE CAP
      Tommy Fury has stated that he would have broken Jake Paul’s jaw if he tried the same thing he did with Floyd Mayweather.
      Paul and Mayweather had a heated confrontation in front of the cameras until the YouTube personality grabbed Mayweather’s cap and ran away before the legendary boxer and some other chased after him.
      Fury insists it would have been different if he were in Money’s shoes as the controversial celebrity would have been knocked out.
      Here’s what he told Dev Sahni:

      HITTING IT HARD
      Tyson Fury has stepped up his training amid ongoing talks with Anthony Joshua’s representatives over a dream match in August.
      Joshua and Fury’s match, which is expected to take place in Saudi Arabia, has hit a few hurdles.
      AJ has been issued with a 48-hour deadline to sort out the fight or face Oleksandr Usyk instead.
      The Gypsy King, on the other hand, still has Deontay Wilder waiting for him after the American turned down a step-aside fee as he looks for revenge.

      FURY-OUS CHALLENGE
      Tyson Fury has shared a bizarre video of himself, his brother Tommy, his son Prince, trainer SugarHill Steward and NBA legend Shaquille O’Neill calling the Paul brothers out.
      To be more exact, Tommy and the rest of the crew are challenging Jake Paul to a fight.

      JOSHUA RETALIATES
      Anthony Joshua had another response during his fiery exchange with Tyson Fury on Twitter.
      Fury challenged Joshua to a “bare-knuckle” fight following the WBO’s 48-hour deadline that could see the dream match getting postponed as the latter would have to face Oleksandr Usyk.
      Here’s what AJ had to say:

      FURY-OUS EXCHANGE
      Tyson Fury has hit back at Anthony Joshua once more claiming he will “smoke” Deontay Wilder first.
      This casts doubt over a potential dream match between Fury and Joshua as the former has suggested he will fight Wilder first.
      The Bronze Bomber was offered a step-aside fee to let the fight between the two British heavyweights go ahead.
      However, the American turned it down as he wants to avenge last year’s loss to Fury

      JOSHUA RETALIATES
      Anthony Joshua issued the following response to Tyson Fury’s challenge to a “bare-knuckle fight” as their dream match is dealing with plenty of hurdles.
      Joshua posted: “If there was an arbitration going on, why announce to the world we are fighting! The fight was signed! UNDISPUTED.
      “Bare knuckle? You’re a good kid, don’t play with me Luke!
      “I’ll slap your bald head & you’ll do nothing! Waste man”

      FURY RESPONDS
      Tyson Fury has hit back at Anthony Joshua’s recent tweet.
      Joshua called Fury a “fraud” and claimed he “let boxing down” as their dream fight is starting to face many hurdles.
      The Gypsy King tweeted the following answer: “@anthonyjoshuayour more full of s**t that [sic] Eddie, Spouting absolute s***e!
      “Your full team knew there was an Arbitration going on, it was out of my hands! but i tell you what if i’m a fraud let’s fight this weekend bare knuckles till 1 man quits? let’s put up 20 mill each!!!”

      LASHING OUT
      Anthony Joshua has taken to Twitter to lash out to Tyyson Fury once more as their dream match is facing plenty of hurdles.
      Fury’s rival Deontay Wilder has turned step-aside money down whereas the WBO have given Joshua a 48-hour deadline to sort out his fight with The Gypsy King or he will have to fight Oleksandr Usyk.
      AJ tweeted: “@Tyson_Fury the world now sees you for the fraud you are.
      “You’ve let boxing down!
      “You lied to the fans and led them on. Used my name for clout not a fight.
      “Bring me any championship fighter who can handle their business correctly”

      FUND AND GAMES
      Anthony Joshua has jokingly suggested he will set up a GoFundMe page to pay off Deontay Wilder so that he can have his dream match with Tyson Fury next.
      Joshua posted on his Snapchat: “I’m thinking about starting a GoFundMe page to raise money for Wilder’s step-aside payment.
      “So I can smoke that fat guy with skinny legs from Manchester.
      “These heavyweights need a podcast or something, they do more talking than fighting.”
      However, Wilder has already turned down a large step-aside fee as he wants revenge from Fury following last year’s loss
      WBO NOTICE
      Anthony Joshua has been issued with a 48-hour deadline by the WBO to rectify his dream match with Tyson Fury before he is ordered to face Oleksandr Usyk.
      That is according to Sky Sports, who claim Joshua and Fury will have to move fast.
      The Gypsy King has also met a hurdle as Deontay Wilder is not willing to take the step-aside money that would allow his rival’s match with AJ to go ahead.

      PREDICTION TY-ME
      Tyson Fury’s training partner Stephen McKenna insists The Gypsy King is going to beat Deontay Wilder again.
      McKena told Mirror Fighting: “Tyson Fury is too smart.
      “He’s too good, he has Wilder beat, even looking at what he did with him last fight, he got him out of there fairly quick and I think there’s only one winner there and it’s Fury.
      “He’s a great man even in the gym, he always brings a great atmosphere to the gym and he’s a very motivational guy”
      BOMBS AWAY
      Deontay Wilder is going to “knock Tyson Fury out cold” in their third fight.
      That is according to Floyd Mayweather’s right-hand man Leonard Ellerbe, who claims Fury is set to face a completely different Wilder if and when they face off again.
      Ellerbe told IFL TV: “Wilder knocks him out cold this time.
      “Sugar Hill made some adjustments, they tweaked something [in Fury’s game]. It was a great adjustment. But Wilder can do some things where the advantages are in his favour.
      “But he’s got to do it from the start. You know, he don’t need to sit back. He definitely don’t need to sit back, because Fury’s a tremendous boxer, especially for his size.
      “But I fully expect, from what I know and, I’m privy to a lot of things that most people aren’t, and there’s a whole new Deontay Wilder that they ain’t seen. And I fully expect him to implement that when they go”
      NO TAY
      Deontay Wilder appears to be on the brink of a third fight with Tyson Fury.
      Wilder doesn’t seem keen on taking step-aside money that would allow Fury’s clash with Anthony Joshua to take place first as he is prioritising revenge.
      The Gypsy King shared a post online mocking The Bomber and his “excuses” after a defeat.
      But the American star has yet to respond to the swipe
      WILD N OUT
      Deontay Wilder has ‘NO INTEREST’ in taking step aside money in what would be a huge blow to Tyson Fury’s super-fight with Anthony Joshua.
      Wilder’s new trainer Malik Scott shared the news on Instagram, as he all-but confirmed the heavyweight is prioritising revenge over a payday.
      Scott, 40, posted: “Wilder declined and had no interest in step-aside money. Y’all dealing with a whole different type motherf***a over here.
      “He want the blood, not that step-aside money. ‘Retribution is upon us’.”
      NO JOSHING
      Anthony Joshua is keeping silent over the news that Tyson Fury may have to fight Deontay Wilder first.

      TALE OF THE TAPE
      WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is on the brink of a third fight with Deontay Wilder.
      Here’s how the two fighters compare…

      EDDIE SET GO
      Eddie Hearn has warned Tyson Fury must resolve his trilogy issue with Deontay Wilder this week – or else they turn to Oleksandr Usyk.
      Hearn said on Matchroom Boxing’s YouTube channel: “I have been focusing on Plan A. The only fight we had our mind on was Tyson Fury.
      “We hope that that fight can still take place on August 14th.
      “The game changed last night where we have to have a plan B in place, and probably a plan C as well.
      “We have a couple of different options; of course, the one that springs to mind immediately is the WBO mandatory of Oleksandr Usyk.
      “They have been quite patient and I think really, we are in a situation where if Team Fury don’t get themselves together, get their act together, by the end of this week, we will have no option but to look for an alternative fight.”
      PACKING ON THE PDA
      Tyson Fury cosied up to pregnant wife Paris on Instagram yesterday proving they’ve never been stronger as they reunited in Miami.
      The boxer, 32, was seen kissing his other half as they dined out after spending the day sunbathing alongside his brother Tommy, 21.
