      The British pair have both penned a contract for a £200m two-fight deal with promoters now desperately trying to determine a venue.
      But the 32-year-old enjoyed a break from the rigours of training to pass on some of his knowledge to the next generation of Fury’s yesterday.
      His wife Paris, who is pregnant with the couple’s sixth child, shared a cute clip of her husband teaching one of his boys how to box.
      She captioned the video with: “Practice time on a rainy Sunday.”
      But moments later he was under attack as his three boys teamed up on him, with Paris once again sharing footage alongside a caption saying: “They don’t fight fair.”
      Meanwhile, Fury’s dad has cast doubt over the fight with AJ by insisting an agreement means nothing without a date and venue.
      And John Fury reckons people should not be getting ahead of themselves just yet.
      Appearing on BT Sport, the former boxer said: “We need to get him out, whether these cowboys get the job sorted which I don’t think they’re going to do.

      “What have they signed? They’ve signed nothing in my eyes. They’ve got no date, no venue, no nothing.
      “What does it mean if you can’t get a date and a venue? What does it mean if no one is willing to put the money up?
      “It’s all about someone coming forward and saying, ‘Right, I’ll pay for the fight, I’ll stage the fight.’ Where are these people?
      “That’s the position it’s in and I don’t think they can get it together. It’s too big for what’s happening and the climate the world is in at the moment.
      “I just don’t think the timing is right for a fight of that magnitude with the state of the world.”
      Fury, 32, has fought just once in the last 18 months – that stunning win over Deontay Wilder in February 2020.

      All eyes are on the showdown with Joshua.
      The Middle East was expected to host the blockbuster bout in June or July but Eddie Hearn admitted a full Wembley is an alternative if lockdown restrictions are lifted in time.
      However, Fury Snr, 56, added his son will get into the ring twice in 2021 regardless of what happens with the 31-year-old WBA, IBF and WBO king.
      He continued: “Tyson needs to fight twice this year, with or without AJ.
      “Tyson is not bothered by any heavyweight on the planet – he’s passed being bothered by this man or that man.
      “It’s a business for Tyson and we need to move on, get a living properly, sharpen his tools and keep him sharp in case that big night comes knocking.
      “But I think they’re dragging their heels a bit because they don’t want to and I don’t blame them.”

      by

      And Tommy began by explaining the amount he has been able to learn simply by watching Tyson.
      He said: “I just watch Tyson. Every single time we’re in the gym together my eyes are peeled, I’m like a sponge.
      “Everything that he does I’m watching very closely. And have done as a kid. I was in the background for a long time.
      “When he was in camp for Klitschko I was never saying nothing but I was like a sponge watching everything he was doing.
      “I thought ‘my time is going to come’ and I’m going to need everything I see here. And that’s exactly what I see to this day. Every time he spars I take note.”
      Tommy was then asked whether the pair ‘like each other’, to which the young boxer had a brillianty witty retort.
      He said: “Not when we’re body sparring and he starts laying those big hooks into my ribs, I’ll tell you that. I don’t like him then.”
      Before then adding: “Yeah, we get along well. We’re both from the same profession and he’s where I want to be. He’s achieved all my dreams that I could ever want.

      “So, I just follow him, whatever he’s doing I’m there because like I said before I’m a sponge and I take it all in.”
      Tommy moved to 5-0 as a pro last month when he picked up his fourth stoppage victory in a row.
      Meanwhile, brother Tyson is currently closing in on officially agreeing the date and venue for an undisputed clash against Anthony Joshua this summer.

      Dana White says ‘this s*** is getting silly’ amid Oscar De La Hoya comeback and rules out UFC star facing boxing legend

      by

      DANA WHITE said ‘this s*** is getting silly’ amid Oscar De La Hoya’s comeback and ruled out a UFC star facing the boxing legend. De La Hoya announced he will be returning to the ring on July 3, his first fight since 2008, where he was battered by Manny Pacquiao.

      The 48-year-old will make his return on a Triller pay-per-view, the social media platform who brought Mike Tyson, 54, out of retirement in November.
      And Triller’s Ryan Kavanaugh, told ESPN they want a ‘big name’ UFC fighter to welcome De La Hoya back.
      But UFC president White has no interest, and blasted the comeback.
      He said: “To box De La Hoya? Come on guys, this shit is getting silly. You guys just want to ask me silly questions.
      “You have got a 50-year-old guy fu**ing boxing, and you guys are actually talking about it and covering press conferences?
      “Come on, come on you guys.”
      White has had a long-running feud with De La Hoya, dating back to 2017 when the boxing promoter criticised Conor McGregor’s crossover bout with Floyd Mayweather.
      The UFC boss also publicly slammed Tyson’s comeback fight against Roy Jones Jr, 52, which ended in a draw after eight exhibition rounds.

      But White, a personal friend of Iron Mike’s, later admitted he was wrong as he featured on the heavyweight icon’s podcast.
      He said: “Somebody asked me at a press conference about it and I said ‘I don’t like it, I don’t want them to do it, this and that…’
      “Then he called me and was like: ‘Listen man, we’ve been friends for a long time but I’m a grown ass man, if I wanna fight I’m gonna f***ing fight! Don’t be f***ing negative about my fight.’
      “And I said ‘you know what, you’re right. You won’t hear a f***ing peep out of me again.’
      “Then when I watched the fight I thought he looked really f***ing good.”

      Ben Askren posts incredible Rocky 4 training montage and again goads Jake Paul for being ‘Logan Paul’s little brother’

      by

      Ben Askren took inspiration from Rocky Balboa’s iconic training scene in the 1986 boxing classic
      And to prepare for the fight, Askren took inspiration from Rocky Balboa’s iconic training scene in the 1986 boxing classic.
      In the movie, Sylvester Stallone’s character is set to face Soviet boxer Ivan Drag in Russia.
      And he trains for the fight in bitter cold Russia, running in the snow, chopping wood and lifting logs.
      Askren, 36, paid homage to the film, as he posted a clip online channeling his inner Balboa.
      The former Olympic grappler jogs in the snow, chops at a tree and even pushes his two kids who are sitting in a rubber dinghy.
      All while he takes a swipe at opponent Paul, 24, the younger brother of fellow YouTuber Logan, 25.
      Askren posted: “When I got the call to fight Logan Paul’s little brother I had to go into Rocky Style training!”
      When the two came face to face at their first press conference, Paul appeared to lose his cool after being compared to Logan.

      Askren said: “I’d heard of Jake Paul prior to accepting this fight, but I couldn’t have told you a lot about him or his brother.
      “I knew he kinda came up in his brother’s shadow, he was trying to follow his brother’s footsteps.
      “His brother’s a lot more talented, has a larger following.”
      Tensions later spilled over when Askren facepalmed Paul, causing the social media star to lash out.
      Askren goes into the pay-per-view headliner having never boxed before, instead renowned for his wrestling background.
      Meanwhile Paul has two knockouts in as many fights, but only against online rival ‘AnEsonGib’ and ex-NBA player Nate Robinson.

      Dillian Whyte desperate to ‘smash Deontay Wilder’s face in’ as the Body Snatcher eyes TWO more fights this year

      DILLIAN WHYTE will FINALLY meet his son before plotting his next heavyweight attack.Whyte will be handling nappies for the next fortnight after he manhandled Alexander Povetkin with a brutal fourth-round finish on Saturday.

      The 32-year-old Brixton ace avenged his August KO defeat to Russia’s Povetkin with a convincing win, which he had prepared for in a Portuguese training camp since September.
      His stint away meant missing the birth of his baby boy — but Whyte still wants TWO more fights this year
      He said: “My child hasn’t seen me. I’ve never met my son. Never.
      “My son is four months old and I’ve never seen him. I’ve only seen pictures and videos. I call every day and his mother has been great.
      “It’s all good man but I worry because that’s what warriors do. I’m not a part-time warrior.”
      Whyte wasted 1,000 days as the WBC’s No1 challenger to Tyson Fury’s crown when the 41-year-old Russian iced him last summer.
      One unmissable fight on the menu, should Anthony Joshua and the Gypsy King’s potential two-fight rivalry delay Whyte’s dream, is ex-champ Deontay Wilder.
      But the Jamaica-born ace is concerned Wilder may not have the stomach for a scrap after The Bronze Bomber’s defeat to Fury.

      Either way, Whyte has vowed his ruthless win over Povetkin will spark another battle to land his shot at a world title.
      He added: “I want to fight three times this year. I’m young, why not enjoy it while I’m young.
      “I will activate my legal clause as a mandatory challenger because I’ve already waited a thousand days so I shouldn’t be waiting for any more time really.
      “I should be back to mandatory challenger again because I’m an old mandatory challenger.
      “I should, by law, be able to have the fight in the next three to six months. Let’s see.
      “I’d love to fight Trevor Bryan for the WBA world title, that’s the same title David Haye and lots of other champions held so I’d love to fight him for that. It would be a great opportunity.
      “We don’t know if Deontay Wilder is even going to fight again, or if he has any interest in fighting again.

      “All he does is post pictures with guns, alcohol and weed. Or he’s twerking and shaking his ass on TV.
      “There’s no sign of him even training at the moment, he may never fight again.
      “I would love to smash his face in but if he’s not going to fight, what can I do?”

      Whyte, 32, showed off his bloody boots
      Whyte, 32, last night avenged his shock 2020 loss to the Russian last night, producing a stunning fourth-round knockout.
      But the 28-2 star, who had won his last 11 fights prior to previously being upset by Povetkin, wasn’t entirely satisfied with his night’s work.
      After the fight in Gibraltar, he revealed to iFL TV that he likes to collect opponents blood on his shoes.
      Asked if he intends to fight twice this year, despite his title path being blocked by the two-fight contract signed by Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, Whyte responded emphatically: “I want to fight three times this year.
      “I love fighting man, I’m young. Why not enjoy [it] when I’m young?
      “I don’t care about… I just go and fight and enjoy fighting and getting my job done.
      “Only thing I didn’t get no blood on my boots, I’m p***ed.”
      Called a ‘weirdo’ for his comment, Whyte responded: “Why?

      “Look (pointing at his boots), these are previous opponents’ blood.”
      After his charge’s win, promoter Eddie Hearn said: “The ultimate aim has been for Whyte to challenge for the world heavyweight title.
      “Tonight was about getting his career back on track. It was a lot of pressure.
      “Coming back from the knockout was not easy. We are back where we wanted to be.”
      Amid plenty of speculation surrounding his next opponent, Whyte joked: “I’ve waited long enough, there’s no way I should wait anymore…
      “I’ll just break Joshua’s leg so they can’t make the fight, then I’ll just turn up and fight Fury.”
      But Hearn, 41, fancies a shot at Deontay Wilder.
      So for me that’s a stadium fight, that’s a colossal fightEddie Hearn on Whyte vs Wilder
      He added: “I’d like to see him box quickly again in the summer, maybe go over to the States and have a fight over there.
      “We know there’s a logjam. For me, we called for the Deontay Wilder fight for a long, long time.
      “Now, he got knocked out and he’s calling for the fight with Dillian Whyte. So for me that’s a stadium fight, that’s a colossal fight.
      “The ultimate aim has always been for Dillian Whyte to challenge for the world heavyweight title.”

      Champs Joshua and Fury have already agreed a whopping £200m two-fight deal to unify the division.
      Whyte has been in this position before and it appears he is sick of waiting around.
      After delivering a brutal KO to Povetkin, he tongue-in-cheekily said: “I’ve waited long enough, there’s no way I should wait anymore…
      “I’ll just break Joshua’s leg so they can’t make the fight, then I’ll just turn up and fight Fury.”
