      And for the dream bout, the Wythenshawe-born fighter is already working hard in a training camp in the USA.
      After flying out to Nevada, Fury has been working in the gym with Javan ‘Sugarhill’ Steward.
      But, it hasn’t been all play for the WBC champ – who was seen hanging out with David Beckham at an Inter Miami game, as well as polishing off a dinner with basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal
      And he’s now been joined by his pregnant wife Paris.
      HARD WORK PAYS OFF
      Back in April, Fury kick-started his preparations for the blockbuster contest by flying out to Las Vegas for some gym work.
      He linked up with legendary cutman Jorge Capetillo, who uploaded a couple of videos of the pair in action at Top Rank’s private gym.
      In the first clip, Capetillo can be seen wrapping Fury’s fists.
      While in the second, Fury’s speed and agility are put to the test during the workout.
      Ahead of Billy Joe Saunders’ contest with Canelo Alvarez, Fury also met up with ‘Superb’ in Texas for a week.
      The pair did some cardio work – running and cycling. Of course, Fury got there by private jet with Tommy Fury and his son, Prince John.

      PARIS HAS FLOWN OUT
      After photos emerged of Tyson with his female fans poolside, wife Paris has flown out to Miami to be with him.
      The pregnant 31-year-old reunited with her beloved and they shared a picture on Instagram together.
      Fury wrote: “Wow! look what i bumped in to in miami the hottest blonde about, @parisfury1 my queen 👸 has arrived….. usa.”
      Now, she can keep a closer eye on her man!
      SWEET AS SUGAR
      Javan ‘Sugarhill’ Steward has been Fury’s trainer since 2019, after Fury parted ways with Ben Davison.
      Not only have the pair been working on a strategy to defeat Joshua on the ring, they’ve also had plenty of fun along the way.
      Aside from sparring together, they’ve also been hitting the town in some flamboyant wear since April.
      The two appear to have a very close relationship – inside and outside the ring.

      LOTION GATE
      It’s not all work and no play for Tyson, and his brother Tommy.
      The pair have been enjoying the luxuries of their Las Vegas hotel, topping up their tans by the pool.
      And, of course, they’ve had plenty of attention, especially, Tyson who was pictured getting some suntan lotion rubbed on his body by a female fan.
      The incident even had fans guessing if wife Paris was furious with her husband, posting pics of herself without her wedding ring.
      Rest assured though, she’s in the US now with Tyson.

      HE’S INTER MIAMI
      When you’re Stateside it’s always good to check out the local sports teams.
      And when is owned by another English sporting hero, it would be even ruder not to.
      Fury and his family went to David Beckham’s Inter Miami last week to see a 2-0 loss to Montreal Impact.
      And not only did they meet Becks, they also got a snap with DJ’s David Guetta and Cedric Gervais .
      The supergroup posed for a snap – with Fury wearing the most astonishing of shirts.

      CELEBRITY GUESTS
      While in America, Fury has been mixing with other sports stars.
      And when you are as famous as the Gypsy King, they’ll all want to meet you too.
      As well as that invitation from Becks, he was spied having dinner with basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal.
      Fury also made his son Prince John’s dream come true by taking him to a WWE event, where he met Rey Mysterio.
      The WBC heavyweight champion has been in America training for his undisputed title fight with Anthony Joshua.

      A MARVELOUS ROBE
      When you’re the champ (and worth around £40million), splashing out on quality garments is essential.
      And for Tyson, it’s important he’s comfortable too.
      On Insta, we’ve seen a new addition to his wardrobe – a gold Versace robe that costs £355.

      He hasn’t been shy wearing it out either, often seen cruising around his Las Vegas hotel lobby with it draped around his shoulders.
      However, he better be careful. The robe comes with an apparent curse – UFC stars Conor McGregor and Israel Adesanya, as well as Saunders all lost their next fights after been seen wearing one.

      KSI reveals why he will NOT be watching Logan Paul against Floyd Mayweather and slams ‘does anyone care?’

      by

      LOGAN PAUL’S boxing match with Floyd Mayweather is of no interest to former rival KSI, who has declared ‘does anyone even care?’.Ring legend Mayweather, 44, will take on YouTuber Paul, 26, in Miami on June 6.

      It will be the online star’s first contest since he lost to KSI in November 2019.
      The two meetings between the celebrity pair has sparked a scramble for boxers and MMA fighters wanting to cash in on their popularity.
      But Mayweather will be by far the biggest name to do so when he takes on Paul in the eight-round exhibition.
      Nevertheless, KSI insisted title fights such as the recent Canelo Alvarez victory over Billy Joe Saunders are far more interesting.
      He said during a Sidemen episode: “Does anyone even care?
      “I feel like Jake stole the show.

      “I’ll watch it on Twitter.
      “Canelo vs Saunders, I’d stay up for that. It’s obvious who’s winning this, though.”
      Paul’s brother Jake infamously clashed with Mayweather during a media day for the upcoming fight.

      The 24-year-old is himself putting together a boxing career and recently downed ex-UFC star Ben Askren, in another fight that did not impress KSI.
      The Brit stated: “I didn’t actually realise Ben [Askren] was s***.
      “I just didn’t realise how s*** he would be. I’d say Nate [Robinson] did better. Ben was so bad. He didn’t do anything.”

      But for now, AJ is keen to enjoy some family time.
      On Sunday, Joshua shared two snaps of himself and his son JJ, 5, enjoying some quality time together.
      The Watford star sat atop a dirt bike as JJ rode a mini-quad bike in the woods.
      Taking to Instagram, Joshua captioned the two snaps: “My General.”
      But Joshua’s attention will soon have to turn back to the ring.
      On Monday, Fury confirmed his fight with AJ is on for August 14 in Saudi Arabia.
      Reaffirming Eddie Hearn’s plan, the Gypsy King told his 4.4million followers: “Got some massive news for you all.
      “I’ve just got off the phone from Prince Khalid of Saudi Arabia, he’s told me this fight is 100 per cent on. August 14, 2021 summertime.

      “All eyes of the world will be on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
      “And I cannot wait, repeat: cannot wait to smash Anthony Joshua on the biggest stage of all time.
      “This is going to be the biggest sporting event ever to grace the planet earth. Do not miss it. All eyes on us.
      “Peace out, God bless, see you all in Saudi! Yes, get in!”
      Saudi Arabia hosted Joshua’s title rematch victory over Andy Ruiz Jr in December 2019 despite a swarm of criticism from human rights’ campaigners.
      A temporary venue was built in Diriyah for the fight that year.
      But now Matchroom boss Hearn has promised a new stadium that will ‘shock the world’ for August’s event.

      Hearn told Sky Sports: “They want to build a new stadium.
      “They have indoors options. In August at 11pm it will be about 23 degrees.
      “They want to create something very, very special.
      “Last time they built a stadium for the Andy Ruiz Jr fight in just seven weeks and it held 18,000. This will be a similar setup.
      “They have the opportunity to hold it indoors but they want to create something that will shock the world.
      “They want to build a stadium just for this fight.”

      Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua could be forced into paying Deontay Wilder mega £5.65m in step-aside money to seal fight

      by

      DEONTAY WILDER could be in for a £5.65million cut of Anthony Joshua’s huge fight with Tyson Fury after a US court ruled in his favour.A trilogy fight clause in the American’s contract with the Gypsy King must be honoured by September 15, it has been decided.

      However many within the boxing world reckon a payout will suffice to keep the Bronze Bomber at bay.
      According to ring journalist Gareth A Davies, a deal including £5.65m and an agreement to fight at a later date may have to be thrashed out.
      He told his Instagram: “It is a civil case so I think they can still sign the fight between Fury and Joshua.
      “Wilder may get potentially $5m to $8m (£3.5m to £5.65m) and perhaps even an agreement to fight going forward.”
      Fury, 32, thrashed Wilder in their February 2020 rematch, following a controversial draw in their first bout, and were due to fight for a third time.
      The Gypsy King’s team claimed six months ago that the clause had expired amid the coronavirus pandemic.

      But the Brit’s camp are now facing having to appeal a US court arbitration verdict in 35-year-old Wilder’s favour.
      It is understood both Fury and Joshua will argue against having to contribute any funds to the step-aside bundle.
      And Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn has also insisted that the saga will not impact the £500m unification showdown in Saudi Arabia on August 14.
      Speaking in May of last year, Fury claimed he would rather fight Wilder again than pay him a penny to stand aside.

      He told iFL TV: “Wilder’s got a rematch clause.
      “Some newspaper reported that he wanted £10m to step aside.
      “I’m not paying him no money to step aside, I’d rather take his scalp again.
      “I’ll beat him in the ring and that’s how I’ll get him out the way, I wouldn’t pay him £2m to step aside – I’d rather give him another battering, hopefully the end of [2020].”

      In The Sun’s exclusive photos Tyson, 32, smiled and chatted to female fans and he later admitted he was in his wife’s “bad books” – after she ditched her wedding ring in photos on Instagram.
      Taking to Instagram earlier this morning the boxer shared a photo with Paris after she touched down in the US, and said: “wow look what i bumped in to in miami the hottest blond about, @parisfury1 my queen 👸 has arrived….. usa 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸”
      One fan joked beneath his post: “When ya on a night out with the lads and ya bird turns up😂”
      Another eagle-eyed follower said: “She’s even showing her ring 💍 😂”
      And one more remarked: “Even the gypsy king can end up in the doghouse 😂😂”
      Paris is believed to be around six months pregnant after her husband announced they were expecting their sixth baby on boxing correspondent Gareth A Davies’ YouTube series in February.

      And she covered her wedding ring finger with a tree emoji in a new Instagram snap on Saturday.
      Tyson reacted to the telling photo and said he was heartbroken.
      “Looks like the GK is in Mrs Paris Fury’s bad books!” he shared on Instagram.
      “Wedding ring off.”
      After first seeing our pictures, Tyson took to Instagram to criticise the story and insist: “I took a thousand pics yesterday at Fountain Blue but they only show the girls, haha.”
      He also said his relationship with wife Paris was a solid as ever and posted a picture of him posing happily with his family.

      Tyson and brother Tommy are continuing their training after flying to Texas to watch pal Billy Joe Saunders fight Canelo Alvarez earlier this week.
      It comes ahead of the blockbuster heavyweight clash between Anthony Joshua and Fury, which will take place in Saudi Arabia on August 7 or 14, promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed.
      The British superstars will clash for all four heavyweight belts in the Middle East in a fight the world has been craving.
      He also stated that both men were happy to trust the Saudis because they already “delivered on every one of their promises” for Joshua’s fight against Andy Ruiz in 2019.

      No official announcement has yet been made but Hearn revealed last week that the deal was done.
      He said: “That fight [Joshua vs Fury] is done and you’ll get an announcement very soon.”
      The August clash will be the first in a two-fight deal, with the second bout expected to take place at the end of 2021.

      It has also been reported that the fight could generate as much as £500million, with Joshua and Fury agreeing a 50/50 split.
      However, the fight has been hit with a curve ball after a judge ruled Fury must fight Deontay Wilder before September 15.
      It might be possible Wilder can be paid to step aside.
      Fury is unbeaten in 31 professional fights, with his only blemish coming in a controversial draw against Deontay Wilder in 2018, a clash many felt he won.
      Meanwhile, Joshua has a record of 24-1, with his only defeat coming in shock fashion at the hands of Ruiz in 2019. More

      WILDER WARNING
      Here the message Deontay Wilder sent to Tyson Fury in November 2020.
      Hey @Tyson_Fury ,Don’t worry about me I am Fine, Blessed.The only thing I want from you is for you to honor your agreement and fight me. I gave you 2 shots when I didn’t have to and it changed your life. Now it is time for you to be a man and give me my shot as you agreed to.— Deontay Wilder (@BronzeBomber) November 12, 2020

      FIGHT IN DOUBT
      The arbitration court has ruled that Tyson Fury has to fight Deontay Wilder in a third fight this summer, so the bout against Anthony Joshua could be off.
      The WBC heavyweight champion has been in arbitration with the American for months over a contracted third fight between the pair.
      Fury, 32, beat Wilder back in February 2020 to take the WBC title after their first meeting ended in a controversial draw.
      But in the contract there was due to be a third clash between the pair.
      That was pencilled in for July 2020 but it was delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
      It was pushed back until December 2020 but both sides could not agree on a date.
      Wilder’s team wanted to push it back further into early 2021 but Fury did not want to wait any longer.

      NOT SO FURIOUS
      TYSON Fury’s wife Paris has been pictured wearing her wedding ring again just days after removing it following images of the boxer soaking up female attention in America.
      The champ admitted he was in his wife’s bad books as she remained at home pregnant and looking after four of their children – but it seems she’s had a change of heart.
      The 31-year-old was seen wearing the huge sparkler as she ran errands yesterday at the couple’s home in Morecambe.
      She later revealed she was spending the night in a hotel, as she shared a picture of herself getting room service.
      Tyson meanwhile addressed the situation on Instagram yesterday as he continues to train across the pond ahead of his big fight with Anthony Joshua.
      He wrote: “Looks like the GK is in Mrs Paris Fury’s bad books! Wedding ring off.”
      THE PREDATOR
      Derek Chisora’s trainer Don Charles has shared his initial verdict on Fury vs Joshua, and he issued a warning to The Gypsy King.
      He told iFL TV: “For that fight it’s a question of who is able to implement their game plan on the night.
      “There’s very little to split them. If anyone has the style to dent The Gypsy King it is Joshua.
      “Anthony is a very well-skilled amateur, hence why he’s an Olympic gold medaslist and let’s face it, Fury does get knocked down here and there.”
      “If Joshua nails Fury, he will stay hit. He’s got that power.
      “The first Predeator [film], that is Fury, because the predator is able to camouflage himself. He [Fury] has that ability.
      “Whatever game plan you bring he can rip it up in front of you.”
      CARD TRICK
      Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury is set to have world title fights and cross-promotional bouts as part of their £3.5million undercard budget.
      Promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed to DAZN the chief supporting act will include multiple world title fights.
      And there is also the opportunity for rare clashes between the opposing promoters’ stables.
      That means Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing could go against Frank Warren’s Queensbury Promotions and Bob Arum’s Top Rank.

      HEARN WANTS TO BE HEARD
      Eddie Hearn has given a fiery response to the Fury-Joshua fight being announced.
      Via Dazn, he said: “I told everybody this fight would be done.
      “No-one believed me, ‘Oh, it won’t happen, it’s a bad time, they won’t come up with the money.’
      “I’m not looking for props, but give me some f***ing props!”

      ‘I NEVER LOST’
      The Gypsy King is getting into the Saudi Arabia spirit already, and he sent a warning to Anthony Joshua.
      The caption on his Instagram story reads: “Time to take back what I never lost. Every belt there [is] all mine chump!”

      QUIET ON THE AJ FRONT
      Let’s take a look at what Anthony Joshua has been up to instead of announcing the fight…
      Oh, posting a paid sponsorship with JD on his Instagram account.

      ‘GOOD CHANCE’
      DAVID HAYE reckons Anthony Joshua will KNOCK OUT Tyson Fury in their eagerly-anticipated undisputed heavyweight title fight.
      The pair are finally set to share the ring in Saudi Arabia on August 14, although an official announcement has yet to be made.
      He told PA: “What Fury did against Deontay Wilder in his last fight sounded like suicide on paper, but it was genius.
      “Tactically I believed he had got it totally wrong, but it was proven right.
      But if you look at some of his prior fights, I wouldn’t say his tactics were that good.
      “Joshua got his tactics terribly wrong in his first fight against Andy Ruiz, trying to mix it against a guy with short arms whose only chance was to get inside.
      “But his tactics are improving and I very much liked what he did against Kubrat Pulev in his last fight.”
      ANTICIPATION BUILDING
      Paddy McGuinness already cannot wait for August 14th, it just happens to be his birthday then too.

      LESS TALK MORE ACTION
      Anthony Joshua has continued to remain silent despite Tyson Fury’s public announcement on Sunday that the two will fight this summer.

      HAYE MAKER
      David Haye has backed Anthony Joshua to surprise Tyson Fury with an early knockout in their unification fight this summer.
      He told the Belfast Telegraph: “I like the dedication of Joshua and I think he has a good chance of winning it early.
      “People think I’m crazy but that’s just the way I see it. I loved his fight against Wladimir Klitschko – he took his licks and got back up and showed the heart of a champion.”
      “Tyson isn’t so much of a one-punch specialist. He puts his punches together and his style is that if you throw big looping shots at him he’ll make you look silly. But AJ throws hard, compact punches and he puts them together well. I don’t see this fight going smoothly for Fury at all.”
      He concluded: “I think it’s a great fight and I really see it being won by stoppage. I’m just so glad we’re so close to seeing it happen.”
      TALE OF THE TAPE
      Anthony Joshua will go to war with Tyson Fury! Here’s how the two fighters compare…

      BOOKIE’S EYE
      Tyson Fury is the bookies’ early ODDS-ON favourite to beat Anthony Joshua ahead of their confirmed bout on August 14th.
      Fury is odds-on at 4/7 with Paddy Power while Joshua is a slightly bigger price at 11/8 to win the fight.
      Fury’s most-likely method of victory is on points or decision (15/8) rather than via knockout (9/4).
      But Joshua’s shortest price in terms of way of victory is via KO/TKO at 5/2, making this an intriguing showdown.
      Paddy Power are offering an early odds boosts on either Fury to win via KO/TKO at 3/1 or Joshua to win via KO/TKO at 11/4 HERE*.
      As the two fighters are evenly matched, punters could back a controversial draw at 22/1.
      ED IN THE CLOUDS
      Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has insisted he had nothing to do with bringing Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul to Sky Sports PPV.
      He told iFL TV: “You can’t blame me for that one, dreadful.
      “Listen, people are gonna watch it, aren’t they?
      “I did Logan Paul vs KSI, but it was a fight between two YouTubers who couldn’t really fight – now you’ve got a bloke who can’t fight against one of the greatest fighters of all time.
      “I can’t go back on what I’ve already said about the fight because it’s now on PPV.
      “I wasn’t involved with it, it’s got nothing to do with me, enjoy the show.”
      TY-SUN FURY
      Tyson Fury is still enjoying his warm-weather break to Miami with brother Tommy.
      The Fury brothers have been lapping up the Florida sun for the best part of a week having flown there from Texas after supporting Billy Joe Saunders in his ill-fated clash with Canelo Alvarez.
      And the pair, 32 and 22 respectively, appear to still be enjoying their getaway, despite all the photo requests.

      MORE FROM TONY BELLEW
      He added: “He will finish Tyson Fury. Deontay Wilder dropped him twice. Anthony Joshua only has to drop them once and the fights done.
      “He is the most vicious finisher that I’ve seen since Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson.
      “That’s how good a finisher he is. When he gets his man hurt, you do not survive.”
      BELLEW OF THE BALL
      Tony Bellew expects Anthony Joshua to drop Tyson Fury during their super-fight this summer.
      He told the ‘Don’t Tell Me The Score with Simon Mundie’ podcast: “I think he (Joshua) catches Tyson.
      “People are reading far too much into what happened against Deontay Wilder. Anthony Joshua is not Deontay Wilder.
      “Anthony Joshua is a very accomplished excellent technical boxer fighter. Anthony Joshua is a former Olympic gold medalist.
      “Deontay Wilder was skimming the lights when he was trying to knock out Tyson Fury in round twelve of the first fight.
      “He was jumping off two feet in the air, swinging punches – a lunatic. Anthony Joshua is not going to take that approach.
      “Don’t get me wrong. He’s only got six rounds to do it, in my opinion.
      “Because after six rounds, if you can’t figure out Tyson Fury in six rounds, you are not going to do it in twelve.
      “I’m not saying it’s going to be easy, but I do believe he’ll catch him.
      “And if he does catch up and hit him, he’s the most destructive finisher in the heavyweight division.”
      CASHING IN
      Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are set to split an eye-watering £110million site fee after their Saudi Arabia mega-fight, according to reports.
      The heavyweight champions go head to head on August 14 and the fighters are set for an epic pay day with the Middle Eastern country coughing up some serious dough in order to stage the fight.
      Each man will receive £53million from the site fee while an additional £2m each will be for ‘expenses and the undercard’, according to TalkSPORT.

      GOOD MORNING BOXING FANS
      Tyson Fury has now declared that his fight with Anthony Joshua is “100 per cent on”.
      He said: “I’ve got some massive news for you all guys.
      “I’ve just got off the phone from Prince Khalid of Saudi Arabia, he’s told me this fight’s 100 per cent on.
      “August 14, 2021 – summertime. All eyes of the world will be on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
      “I cannot wait, repeat, cannot wait to smash Anthony Joshua on the biggest stage of all times.
      “This is gonna be the biggest sporting event ever to grace the planet Earth.“Do not miss it, all eyes on us.”
      Saudi Arabia hosted 31-year-old Joshua’s title rematch victory over Andy Ruiz Jr in December 2019 amid criticism from human rights’ campaigners.
      A temporary venue was constructed in Diriyah for the fight and Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn has promised a new stadium that will ‘shock the world’ for August’s unification event.
      He told Sky Sports: “They want to build a new stadium.
      “They have indoors options. In August at 11pm it will be about 23 degrees.
      “They want to create something very, very special.
      “Last time they built a stadium for the Andy Ruiz Jr fight in just seven weeks and it held 18,000. This will be a similar setup.
      “They have the opportunity to hold it indoors but they want to create something that will shock the world. They want to build a stadium just for this fight.”
      TY-TOTAL
      Exclusive by Michael Hamilton: Tyson Fury has gone teetotal as he bids to keep his mental health demons at bay.
      The boxing champ, 32 — who confessed to drinking 12 pints a day — has vowed to family and friends he will stay off booze.
      “Gypsy King” Fury has spoken openly about his drink, drugs, and mental health issues in the past.
      He was spotted this week with his boxer half-brother Tommy, 22, relaxing by a pool in Miami — with Fury sipping from a bottle of alcohol-free lager.
      A source said: “Tyson has kicked the booze on the head for good.
      “It is not because of the boxing, because he can always get in shape for fights and obviously doesn’t drink during training camps.
      “Tyson is doing this for himself and his family — especially his wife Paris.
      “And he reckons it is the best way to be a great dad and stay in shape physically and mentally.”
      BATTLE OF BRITAIN
      Anthony Joshua is champing at the bit to face Tyson Fury, who he plans to ‘absolutely demolish’ in their undisputed heavyweight title fight.
      Eddie Hearn told Sky Sports: “You will get a different AJ in this build-up.
      “He’s excited because he’s never really, apart from the Dillian Whyte fight, been in a trash talk environment. He will enjoy it.
      “AJ has got the bit between his teeth, goading him a bit.
      “I’m sure these two DM each other, goading each other. I get DMs from Fury – sometimes pleasant, sometimes unpleasant!
      “When the announcement comes and the press conferences start, the pleasantries will go away and it will become personal.
      “It doesn’t matter who respects who. Both sides are desperate to win because this is everything.
      “There are no fun and games. It’s ‘them and us’.
      “AJ will go to war with Fury. He has plans to absolutely demolish him. That’s what I believe he will do.
      “In the meantime we will go through the build-up, which will be a lot of fun, before the biggest event of 2021.”

      Tyson Fury faces paying Deontay Wilder to step aside for Anthony Joshua clash as judge rules in Bronze Bomber’s favour

      by

      TYSON FURY faces having to pay Deontay Wilder step aside money to keep his hopes of fighting Anthony Joshua alive. It comes after an arbitration judge ruled in favour of the American, who was seeking a trilogy bout with Fury.

      Wilder, beaten by the Brit in February 2020, was contracted to an immediate rematch with his heavyweight rival.
      But as talks stalled amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Gypsy King’s team claimed the stipulation expired in October.
      As a result, they entered talks with Joshua for an undisputed title decider, which was heading for August 14 in Saudi Arabia.
      Meanwhile, Wilder was fighting his case for a shot at redemption with a mediator.
      And now the Daily Star has reported that the legal dispute has gone the former WBC champion’s way.
      Fury, 32, has been told he owes Wilder, 35, a third fight and would be breaching his contract if he failed to meet him in the ring again.
      But according to The Athletic, the undisputed title decider between Britain’s two superstars can still go ahead – even though the water has been muddied.
      The Telegraph say the case is believed to be civil, not federal, meaning a payout in compensation for Wilder is possible.

      And due to the huge £110m site fee on offer in Saudi Arabia, the Alabamian could be in line for a settlement between £3.5m and £5.6m.
      The Bronze Bomber is co-managed by Shelly Finkel, Mike Tyson’s former representative, and mysterious boxing mogul Al Haymon.
      They have both remained silent throughout the process but Finkel has always reiterated their case was being taken care of in arbitration.
      The news comes only a day after Fury confirmed his unification with AJ was set in stone.
      He said in a social media video: “Got some massive news for you all.
      “I’ve just got off the phone from Prince Khalid of Saudi Arabia, he’s told me this fight is 100 per cent on. August 14, 2021 summertime.
      “All eyes of the world will be on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

      “And I cannot wait, repeat: cannot wait to smash Anthony Joshua on the biggest stage of all time.
      “This is going to be the biggest sporting event ever to grace the planet earth. Do not miss it. All eyes on us.
      “Peace out, God bless, see you all in Saudi! Yes, get in!”
      Now it is believed he has been order to fight Wilder – the man he initially drew with in 2018 – for a third time by September 15.
      Fury and his US promoter Bob Arum flew to California for an arbitration meeting with Wilder’s representatives in late April.
      At the time, he told Ring Magazine negotiations for a third fight between the two were possible as he claimed talks with Joshua’s side stalled.
      Since then, Arum and AJ’s backer Hearn confirmed the final touches in the contract for the undisputed title fight were being put together.

      The Bronze Bomber has recently returned to training and announced his new trainer Malik Scott, 40, the man he knocked out in 2014.
      He has largely remained silent since his first ever loss but has made headlines whenever he has made a rare appearance.
      That was largely due to him listing his bizarre excuses for his defeat to Fury, made baselessly and without evidence.
      They included the Brit loading his gloves with WEIGHTS and his water being ‘spiked’.
      Fury was so enraged with the accusations, Arum said in January he would NEVER fight Wilder again.
      But it remains to be seen how Wilder’s win in mediation will affect the three leading heavyweights, with their representatives yet to comment on the development.

      Love Island’s Idris Virgo backs Jake Paul to beat Tommy Fury as YouTuber is ‘different calibre’ to reality TV star

      by

      IDRIS VIRGO backed Jake Paul to beat Tommy Fury as the YouTuber is a ‘different calibre’ to the Love Island star. Virgo, who had his own stint in the popular ITV series, has long called out Tyson’s brother.

      And Paul, 3-0 as a boxer, is also on Fury’s radar after the celebrity pair engaged in a social media feud.
      Virgo, 27, took the chance to take a dig at his reality TV rival when asked who would win between Fury, 22, and Paul, 24.
      He told “I’ll say Jake Paul. Jake Paul win, 100 per cent.
      “Tommy Fury is like, going to the cinema, look for them pick and mixes, but you can’t find what you want.
      “If that makes sense. If anyone could understand what I’m saying. Jake Paul’s a totally different calibre than Tommy Fury.”
      Paul has won all his fights by knockout over online rival ‘AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 36, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 36.
      But he is yet to face an experienced boxer, unlike 5-0 Fury, who has instead fought only journeyman opponents.
      Virgo has nine wins and one draw while still juggling a career on the small screens with other shows.

      He made it clear he wants to fight Paul’s YouTube nemesis KSI, who beat the American’s older brother Logan, 26, by scrappy split-decision in 2019.
      Virgo told Behind The Gloves: “Let’s put this in the spanner, let’s throw this in on a fishing rod, let’s roll this in.
      “If them two fight, my fishing rod’s out, I want to fight KSI. Can KSI get the bait? Can he bite? Can I get him?
      “So KSI, if you see this interview, Jake Paul, Tommy Fury, KSI v the one and only, the Body Breaker, Idris Virgo.
      “Can you step up to the challenge? Let’s see.”
