      That appears to have scuppered a potential August unification showdown between Fury and Anthony Joshua.
      But Fury has delivered a scary warning to whoever he faces next as he shared a clip of him landing huge and wild punches during a workout.
      And he captioned it with: “‘Seek and destroy.’ I got a lot of aggression I need to take out on my next victim.”
      Fury even offered Joshua a £20MILLION bare-knuckle fight until ‘one man quits’ after his Brit rival branded him a ‘fraud’.
      The heavyweight champions, who were all-but confirmed to meet on August 14 in Saudi Arabia, took aim at each other online yesterday.
      Joshua, 31, tweeted: “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.”
      Fury, 32, responded: Your (sic) more full of s*** that 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!!!”
      And the war of words continued, with AJ then hitting back: “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.”

      To which Fury replied: “Not going in to the details on line! you’ll slap me about will you dosser please come and try Bum, i’m waiting…
      “Femi AKA Bottlejob! 24/7 365. Ready. i’ll smoke wilder first then you will get yours aswell.”
      The Battle of Britain was thrown in doubt after a US judge ruled in favour of Deontay Wilder in arbitration.
      It means Fury owes the ex-WBC champion a third fight in their series, or would need to strike a step aside deal to keep his super-fight with AJ alive.

      Fury dethroned the American of the title 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.
      As a result, they entered talks with Joshua all while Wilder took his case to civil court. Following months of waiting, the decision went his way.
      And any hopes of negotiating a compensation package for Wilder to sit on the sidelines have been seemingly thrown out.

      His trainer Malik 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’.”
      And Fury’s US promoter Bob Arum 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.” More

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

      by

      EDDIE HALL has showcased his immense punching power in training by forcing 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 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 Hackey 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?”

      Jake Paul signs for Floyd Mayweather’s old promoters Showtime Sports on multi-fight deal after explosive start to career

      by

      JAKE PAUL has penned a multi-fight deal with Showtime Sports following his explosive start to his professional boxing career.The YouTuber, 24, has knocked out all of his three opponents inside the ring since making his debut in January 2020.

      He wiped out fellow content creator AnEnson Gib in the first round in Miami, before blasting out former NBA star Nate Robinson in the second round in November.
      And Paul then demolished ex-UFC ace Ben Askren within two minutes in his April dust-up against his American compatriot.
      The Problem Child has since been involved in a feud with Floyd Mayweather, who is preparing to face his brother Logan in an exhibition bout on June 6.
      After stealing the boxing legend’s hat at a press conference, a mass brawl erupted, resulting in Paul being given a black eye.
      And Paul has now agreed a multi-fight deal with Mayweather’s former promoters Showtime Sports, having previously been associated with Triller Fight Club.
      His adviser Nakisa Bidarian told ESPN: “Jake is proud of the events he participated in with Triller and appreciates the opportunities they afforded him.
      “Jake is excited to continue his boxing career with Showtime Boxing. Fight announcement coming soon.”
      Ryan Kavanaugh, the CEO of Triller parent company Proxima Media, also confirmed to ESPN that they will not be involved in any future Paul fights.

      Paul’s bout with UFC star Ben Askren last month did huge pay-per-view numbers
      He said: “We love Jake. I wish Jake the absolute best. We had our two fights with him.
      “I think for us, we’ve gone the distance with him that we can go. We won’t be doing any more Jake fights.”
      Paul revealed earlier this week that he is close to announcing his next opponent as he boasted of ‘getting paid like a king’.
      And he has even been offered a world title fight by IBF and Ring Magazine cruiserweight champion Mairis Briedis.
      In a video on his social media channels, The Punisher said: “Hey Jake, look I’m dressed like you, but one thing you’re missing is a belt.
      “And this belt, money cannot buy.”
      Briedis’ promoters are keen to make the fight – but on the condition Paul quits boxing if he loses.

      Jake Paul says it is ‘very possible’ he surpasses Floyd Mayweather as richest fighter ever with $1BILLLION earnings

      by

      JAKE PAUL is eyeing Floyd Mayweather’s crown as the richest fighter of all time – with $1BILLLION in career earnings. Mayweather retired officially in 2017 with a historic 50-0 record and as the pay-per-view king.

      His last fight, a tenth round stoppage against Conor McGregor is what he claimed made him a billionaire.
      But for all Mayweather’s unrivalled ability and persona, he did not headline on PPV until 2005, when he was aged 28 and 34 fights into his career.
      Paul, in another universe in terms of skill, has divided opinions with his 3-0 record, but has been a box office hit from the start.
      What cannot be denied is his pulling power, selling 1.5m PPVs in his last fight, a first-round knockout against ex-UFC welterweight Ben Askren.
      Paul is confident the path he is currently on leaves him in a position to sensationally retire as the wealthiest fighter ever.
      He told SunSport: “I do think I can hit the $1billion prizefighter mark, easily.
      “All I’ve got to do is keep on winning – and I will keep on winning – and we’ll see.
      “I think it’s very possible and that’s why I say there is no limit to where this can go. I have the ace up my sleeve. The ace up my sleeve is that I can actually fight.”

      Jake Paul entered elite company

      Paul debuted by blasting out online rival ‘AnEsonGib’ in the first round in January 2020.
      He then followed it up with two showstopping KOs against ex-NBA star Nate Robinson and Askren, both 36.
      But yet to fight an experienced boxer or MMA fighter with proven striking skills, Paul has called for a step up in class on his return.
      His win over Askren proved to be the tenth highest-selling PPV fight of all time, only adding to his commercial value.
      But despite the money to be made between the ropes, Paul warned he could hang up the gloves by 30 to start a family, and invest his time elsewhere.
      He said: “It’s like, how long do I want to dedicate myself to these long, hard training camps? I see it happening for the next five, six years.
      “But I want to have a family eventually. At the end of the day I’m an entrepreneur, so I can make money any way I want.
      “It’s not like boxing is my only outlet. I’m doing it because I love it and I’m having fun.

      “It would be nice to hit 10-0 and retire but we’ll see. This is just the start of my journey, not even the sky, there are no limits to this.
      “I’m just enjoying each moment, each fight and taking it as I go.”
      Paul is still yet to convince many in his early yet meteoric rise in the ring, but has unquestionably made a splash in the fight game.
      He has called out superstars in McGregor, 32, and Mayweather, 44, as well as current contenders like Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy, 21.
      But the social media celebrity fears while several are quick to challenge him, not everyone is willing to risk their record and reputation when the bell sounds.
      And he questioned whether the purse will be enough to convince fighters to put it all on the line against him under the bright lights.
      Paul explained: “Do they want the biggest payday and exposure in their lives to risk it all?
      “I’m doing the same thing, right? I’m putting it all on the line, so why aren’t these guys who are considered ‘pro fighters’ doing the same?”

      The British pair were set to meet on August 14 in the Middle East, but their bout is in serious danger of not happening due to Deontay Wilder being contractually tied to a trilogy bout with Fury.

      It has been claimed that the American could be handed step-aside money in order for Fury’s dust-up with AJ to take place.

      “A lot of what Tyson does and says is a game, you can never take anything he says seriously or at face value.

      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.

      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.

      WILD CLAIMS
      Tyson Fury has thrown shade at Deontay Wilder by listing his varied excuses for why he lost to the Gypsy King last year.

      WHIP ROUND
      A boxing fan desperate to see Tyson Fury fight Anthony Joshua has set up a GoFundMe page for Deontay Wilder.
      The biggest fight in the history of British boxing is on the brink of collapse after a judge ruled Fury owes Wilder a trilogy fight.
      Former WBC king Wilder is willing to step aside – but only if he’s paid a whopping £14m ($20m).
      And boxing fan Greg Double has started a whip-round in order to help Team Fury pay off The Bronze Bomber.

      FAST AND FURY=OUS
      Tyson Fury has seemingly accepted he may not fight Anthony Joshua this summer – but he’s warned his fellow Brit he’ll ‘smash him to bits.’
      this is how i’m feeling right now, i’m on the inside fighting smashing stuff up, & my next opponent is getting smashed to bits! pic.twitter.com/lf0MDEEnPB— TYSON FURY (@Tyson_Fury) May 18, 2021

      MORNING BOXING FANS
      So, we are now around 36 hours on from Deontay Wilder winning his arbitration case against Tyson Fury to enact a trilogy fight between the pair.
      The decision has severely threatened Fury’s plans to take on Anthony Joshua in an undisputed bout in Saudi Arabia on August 14.
      It leaves Fury with the decision to either try and reach a financial agreement with Wilder to step aside or fight him for a third time.
      And the talk on Tuesday from Fury’s promoter Bob Arum and Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn will not fill fans with confidence when it comes to the undisputed clash going ahead.
      Arum 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.”
      Meanwhile, Hearn stipulated a deadline for Fury’s side and appears to now be turning his attention towards WBO mandatory challenger Oleksandr Usyk.
      He told the Matchroom Boxing 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 14. 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.
      “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.
      “I had a very good conversation this morning with Alex Krassyuk, he is a partner of ours and we have worked very well with Oleksandr Usyk and I was just very honest.
      “I said to him, ‘Team Fury are trying to solve the issue, if they don’t, there’s a very good chance we could be fighting you.’”
      Stay tuned because it could be another eventful day in the boxing world.
      WILD PAYMENT
      Deontay Wilder could be handed over £14MILLION by Tyson Fury’s team in order for his bout with Anthony Joshua to go ahead.
      The Gypsy King’s undisputed dust-up to face his British rival in August is in serious jeopardy after he was ordered to fight the Bronze Bomber for a third time.
      After being dethroned by the unbeaten Mancunian in February, the former WBC heavyweight champion was eligible to invoke a third meeting against Fury.
      But injuries and the coronavirus pandemic delayed the fight, with Team Fury claiming in October that the contract for a trilogy had expired.
      However, a US judge has now decided, following an arbitration, that Wilder is legally due a third fight that must happen by September 15.
      According to the Daily Mail, the American knockout specialist could be handed a step-aside fee of more than £14m, with Fury’s team confident an agreement can be reached.

      WILD SCENES
      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’.”

      TYSON BROTHER TOMMY’S RETURN
      Tommy Fury will make his return on June 5 in front of 1,000 fans, with Daniel Dubois headlining the event.

      He has since taken a break but appears keen on keeping his rivalry with the UFC alive.
      The social media sensation was confronted by former champion Daniel Cormier, 42, at UFC 261 in April.
      And welterweight king Kamaru Usman, 34, who knocked out Jorge Masvidal, 36, that night also called out Paul.
      The American celebrity recently revealed he was in talks with Usman’s management ahead of his return.
      And while it is not yet clear who else could be on the cards as Paul’s fourth opponent, he hinted confirmation will be released soon.
      Paul, 24, tweeted: “In the media business they say content is king… and in the fight business, fighters are the content…so WE are the kings.
      “Make sure you are getting paid like a king! new fight announcement coming soon…”

      And he stole the headlines at the press conference after stealing Mayweather’s hat.
      It sparked a mass melee involving the boxing legend and the Paul brothers.
      Jake warned Logan has ‘knockout power’ and predicted an unassuming Mayweather will ‘severely underestimate’ his brother.
      “I think it’s great, I think it brings more eyeballs to the sport of boxing. People forget that boxing is entertainment,” Jake told SunSport.
      “All sports are designed for entertainment even dating back to the Roman Empire, they had Olympics sports for entertainment.
      “This is entertaining and I think that Floyd will again severely underestimate my brother, and there’s a size advantage, my brother’s fast and has knockout power.
      “I’m not saying he’s going to beat Floyd, I’m not going to say he’s going to lose against Floyd, but I do think we’re going to see a good fight.”

      Floyd Mayweather ‘deserves a payday’ in Logan Paul exhibition having beaten 18 WORLD CHAMPIONS, says boxing manager

      by

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER ‘deserves a payday’ in his Logan Paul exhibition having beaten 18 WORLD CHAMPIONS, a boxing manager said. Mayweather faces Paul in a pay-per-view exhibition on June 6 in Miami.

      The fight has been labelled a farce by several due to the skill disparity between one of boxing’s greatest and a 0-1 YouTuber.
      But Amer Abdallah, an experienced manager and advisor, has backed the box office spectacle, which his fighter Badou Jack will be on the undercard of.
      And he listed Mayweather’s unmatchable 50-0 record and the names beaten on his resume when defending the American’s latest payday.
      Abdallah told Boxing Social: “It angers me sometimes and disappoints me sometimes when I see how much slack he’s getting from the media on, ‘Why you fighting Logan? Go fight one of these…’ Why?
      “During his career, at his time, he fought 50 professional fights and he beat 50 people, 18 of them world champions.
      “The man deserves a payday, the man is the pay-per-view king, during his heyday; De La Hoya, Mosley, Pacquiao, name the guys Floyd has beaten, Cotto.
      “You go on and on and on, so he doesn’t deserve after his retirement, you want him now at 44-years-old, 45-years-old to start fighting 22-year-old killers?
      “Why? He already did that during his career, let the man enjoy his retirement, let him make his money.”

      Abdallah helped British YouTuber KSI, 27, in his training camp in 2019 when facing Paul, 26.
      KSI – real name Olajide William Olatunji – emerged victorious and was coached by Viddal Riley.
      Abdallah currently manages Riley, 23, and has an understanding of the new wave of social media stars entering the boxing business.
      Among them is Paul’s brother Jake, 24, who is 3-0 in his own career and sparked a brawl with Mayweather at a press conference.
      He stole the 44-year-old’s hat before an ugly melee broke out, with brother Logan also involved.
      Abdallah argued the viral incident will only help the PPV sales in Mayweather’s exhibition.

      He said: “I’ll tell you and I’ve had conversations with some promoters, these guys are content creators.
      “They know what clickbait is, they know how to get views, they know how to attract the media.
      “Look, Jake Paul is making more than 90 per cent of combat sports athletes in the world, good for him.
      “So a lot of guys again, they hate on it and they say it’s not fair and I have a lot of fighters that have legitimate injuries, concussions, brain damage that they suffer, real injuries that don’t make the money that he does.
      “But here’s what you’ve got to understand, he did put in his time it was just in social media and he built that following.
      “Now he’s transitioning it over to boxing. And I don’t hate it, I love it, I think it’s great.
      “For him, what he did, I think that really helped sell the fight, I really do.”
