      Floyd Mayweather in bidding war with ‘high-profile rapper’ to buy a £1.9m Maybach also owned by Drake and DJ Khaled

      by

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER may have finally met his match as he’s locked in a celebrity bidding war for a £1.9million Maybach car.
      The boxing legend, also known as ‘Money Man’, is not shy in flaunting his staggering cash.

      Mayweather, 44, usually gets what he wants which is evident with a stunning car collection worth around £20m.
      But there’s one motor he might not be able to get his hands on.
      Mayweather is in the market for the ultra-rare 2009 Maybach 62S Landaulet.
      According to TMZ, there are only eight that have been made worldwide and two belong to artists Drake and DJ Khaled.

      Car dealer Obi Okeke, who is flogging the luxury motor, has put a price-tag of £1.9m on it – or best offer.
      The report adds Mayweather is in a bidding war with a high-profile rapper.
      The latest bid has hit £1.4m but it’s still active so expect it to continue rising.
      Mayweather, who retired from boxing with a 50-0 record, has earned a reported $1billion throughout his illustrious career.

      The boxing legend also owns a Bugatti in white

      So it would be no surprise to see the American land another knockout blow by making the highest offer.
      Hans-Dieter Multhaupt, vice president of program management for Maybach, described the car as: “The Landaulet is for a superrich individual who wants something that is extremely extraordinary and enjoys being driven in a car with acres of sky above them.”
      It is also described as a “chauffeur-driven limousine” with a soft partial convertible top with V12 Twin Turbo Engine and 620 horsepower.

      Tommy Fury must dodge big-money Jake Paul fight if Love Island star wants to be taken as a serious boxer

      by

      TOMMY FURY’S latest KO win and seismic social media impacts have everybody excited – except boxing fans.
      On Saturday night the gorgeous 21-year-old Love Island ace flexed all of his many, many muscles to dispatch Scott Williams inside two rounds.

      With his 3.3million Instagram followers, celebrity girlfriend, legendary fighting family and boy-next-door-charm, the highlight reel win should have been the main event of the prime time show.
      Broadcasters BT Sport – just like Sky Sports and everybody else – are crying out for a crossover talent like TNT to blow away barriers between sport and reality TV.
      But Fury’s opponent arrived with a record of 0-9 and is now the fifth opponent cherry picked to have no chance of troubling the starlet.
      The record of Fury’s first five opponents is currently 12 wins, 5 draws and 175 losses.

      And this most recent installment was only announced as Fury’s latest whipping boy around 24 hours before the bout
      It leaves BT Sport and promoter Frank Warren simply unable to build any serious sporting hype or rivalry for the ring Adonis.
      And explains why, despite the sort of following that could make viewing figures flutter, Tommy’s bout came just after three young debutants and before a part-time teacher.
      Thankfully in the aftermath, Jake Paul – either the saviour of 21st Century boxing or the utter dismal death of it – sparked some trash talk with the Manchester man.

      Just a couple of days after reminding the world of his pedigree as a fighting man, his Spartan training regime and world title aspirations, Tommy had Molly-Mae’s blonde wig on to call out 2-0 Paul, who cried like a baby when his brother lost his debut in 2019.
      YouTuber Paul is such a bona fide attraction that his last ‘fight’ against a hapless former NBA player – Nate Robinson – featured on the undercard of the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr circus.
      The self-anointed ‘Problem Child’ has recently offered Conor McGregor $50million for a fight  – while insulting his wife.
      And labelled four-weight hero and boxing’s pound-for-pound king Canelo a ducker.
      Unlike Fury and alongside Logan, Jake Paul has gathered an audience that seems to want to see him fail.
      Like Floyd Mayweather before them, the mantra seems to be ‘love me or hate me, you are going to pay me’.
      But Tommy Fury is one of the few people in history who has entered a reality TV show and come out with an improved reputation and, even with all the money and adulation, he has still not put a foot wrong.

      Fellow Love Island star Jack Fincham has more modest ambitions
      Fury only had 12 amateur fights – and then lost a large chunk of his career to Love Island and the snowballing success that followed – so he deserves plenty of time and space to make mistakes and learn his craft.
      But he is now 5-0, regularly on TV and talking about winning world titles – and instead of honing his skills in learning fights with journeymen, he is battering short-notice victims to pad out his record.
      Fellow Love Island ace Jack Fincham boxed between the ages of 14-18, won 18 of his 26 amateur bouts and is close to making his pro debut.
      But when he spoke to SunSport last October, he admitted his loftiest ambition was a respected but modest Southern Area title.
      Whether Tommy wants to be taken as a serious contender or a big-money novelty act, he is putting in the hours so deserves respect.
      The young man was ringside when Deontay Wilder almost decapitated his brother and would have watched Kubrat Pulev slash a gash into cousin Hughie’s eye
      Tommy will know he could earn modest money in high risk fights with Northern Area champ Kieron Conway or English boss Dan Azeez.

      Or he can make mega dough for semi-serious brawls with either of the Paul brothers, maybe tempt Rio Ferdinand out of his boxing retirement or have a grudge match with a lairy Hollyoaks star.
      Idris Virgo, the Birmingham boxer who seems hellbent on earning a living by making people hate him, was on Love Island the year before Fury.
      Since leaving the villa he has reached 9-0-1 on Channel 5 and also poleaxed poor Scott Williams early in his career.
      Virgo has offered Fury a fight and, unlike all of their previous battles combined, this would be a fair fight between two celebs who talk a great game.
      The build-up would be a soap opera, the trash-talk would be slapstick, but at least we could take them seriously after.
      Tommy’s incredible support means he is going to be a huge success whichever route he takes, but if boxing is really in his blood, we might need to see him spill some soon.

      Eddie Hearn names SEVEN possible Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury fight locations but doubts Wembley is an option

      by

      THE biggest fight in British boxing history between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury will NOT take place at Wembley Stadium.
      That’s according to AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn.

      Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are set to meet in the ring in June after years of fans calling for the fightCredit: AFP or licensors

      The undisputed world heavyweight title fight is set to take place at the end of June, with Hearn revealing they are ‘ready to sign’ to make the clash official.
      However, the promoter does not believe the UK is a viable option despite Boris Johnson’s roadmap out of lockdown planning to remove restrictions as early as June 21.
      Speaking to iFL TV, he said: “When you talk about the venue that is starting to move because we’re in a position time-wise where we’ve had to move.
      “So, your next question is ‘where is it going to be?’ Well the answer to your question is it’s still wide open, but we are much further down the line than we were a week ago because we’ve had to speed that process up.

      “Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, China, London, Las Vegas.
      “Can you really sit there with confidence and say we’re going to be allowed 100,000 people in June in Wembley? You’ve answered the question.
      “I don’t like to give people false hopes. I saw Bob’s interview. ‘Yeah, Wembley is an option, Vegas is an option’ – I don’t believe that. I don’t believe it is.
      “Do you honestly think Bob Arum gives a monkeys about the UK fans? I mean come on. You’ve seen the comments about his fighters lately.

      “Ultimately, they’re going to say to us ‘where can we generate the most money to hold this fight?’ Let’s not beat around the bush. And ultimately it’s going to be up to AJ and Tyson Fury to say ‘yep, we’re happy with that venue’.
      “If you asked everybody myself, Frank Warren,Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua where they would like to do this fight, it’s Wembley, of course it is.
      “But one, I don’t think that’s possible and two, we can’t ignore the fact this is the biggest fight in boxing, it’s going to generate so much interest, so much money, we can’t just ignore that fact.”
      Here is all you need to know about each of the seven possible locations.

      Saudi Arabia
      Joshua fought Andy Ruiz Jr in Diriyah at the end of 2019, but the venue – the Diriyah Arena – was purpose-built and taken down immediately after the Brit reclaimed his belts.
      However, Fury has also entertained in Saudi Arabia when he fought Braun Strowman in WWE’s Crown Jewel event 18 months ago.
      The Gypsy King wowed the 70,000-strong crowd at the King Fahd International Stadium, a potential venue for the Fury-Joshua clash.
      Last month, restrictions in Saudi were extended for another 20 days.
      It means that events, parties, weddings and corporate meetings should not exceed 20 people.
      And there is no certainty as to whether restrictions will be lifted come the summer.
      Qatar
      The Khalifa International Stadium in Qatar could well stage the Fury-Joshua super-fight.
      With a capacity of 48,000 people, Hearn and co may well feel it is suitable for the heavyweight clash.
      Coronavirus restrictions in Qatar currently include public transport, cinemas and gyms working at 30 per cent capacity, while offices are at 80 per cent capacity.
      Abu Dhabi
      When it comes to Fury-Joshua taking place in the UAE, The Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium could well be the location.
      It is currently home to Emirati football club Al Jazira Club and the UAE national team.
      The venue can hold 42,000 people and has played host to football and cricket matches since opening in 1980.
      Coronavirus restrictions mean those travelling to the UAE will have to return a negative Covid test less than 96 hours before departure.
      Singapore
      The Singapore National Stadium holds 55,000 people and could well be in the running to stage Joshua-Fury.
      Most shops and restaurants are open in Singapore, but social distancing is still taking place.
      This means under current measures a mass event such as Fury-Joshua would not be able to take place.
      China
      Fury’s promoter Bob Arum has discussed the idea of staging a fight in China in the past.
      Arum has previously named gambling hotspot Macau as a possible location for a big heavyweight dust-up.
      The likely venue in Macau would be the Centro Desportivo Olimpico, which holds more than 16,000 people.
      In terms of coronavirus restrictions, there is testing for people attending social gatherings of more than 400 people and those flying in from abroad will be required to quarantine if they are not already on the banned list.
      London
      If the fight takes place in the UK, then it will happen at Wembley Stadium.
      Joshua has headlined the famous venue on two occasions, against Wladimir Klitschko and Alexander Povetkin, while Fury is yet to fight there.
      The major stumbling block of the fight taking place in Britain remains the coronavirus restrictions.
      Prime Minister Boris Johnson hopes to remove all restrictions by June 21, but that date could be pushed back if the government’s criteria is not met.
      Las Vegas
      Fury’s last three fights have all taken place in Las Vegas, including his sensational win over Deontay Wilder in February of last year.
      The likely venue in Vegas would be the MGM Grand, a famous boxing arena that has staged some of the most iconic clashes ever.
      Vegas authorities are hoping to re-open entertainment establishments as early as May 1, so coronavirus restrictions may not be a problem.
      The number of daily new cases in Nevada currently stands at less than 400, the lowest since September.

      Watch Oleksandr Usyk spar TWO opponents at once and attempt insane double punch in amazing training video

      by

      OLEKSANDR USYK has left fans in astonishment after taking on TWO sparring partners at once – even attempting an outrageous double punch.
      The Ukrainian southpaw, 34, is targeting a fight with Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury after winning his first two fights as a heavyweight – with Joe Joyce first on the horizon.

      Usyk shared a video of himself sparring two fighters at once – even throwing a double punch at one stageCredit: Instagram / @usykaa

      Usyk shared the video on Instagram with fans going mad for the stuntCredit: Instagram / @usykaa

      Having moved up from cruiserweight, Usyk beat Chazz Witherspoon in December 2019 before battling past Brit Derek Chisora for the WBO Inter-Continental heavyweight title in October 2020.
      And Usyk is pulling out all the stops in a bid to take on any challenge that may come his way in the coming months by taking on two sparring partners simultaneously.
      At one point, the Ukraine icon aimed haymakers at BOTH fighters at the same time.
      Usyk shared the remarkable video on Instagram, captioned: “Double punch. Part one.”

      Just an hour after being uploaded, the clip has already been viewed nearly 150,000 times.
      And fans were left with their jaws on the floor, with one even calling him ‘The King’.
      First on the agenda for Usyk could be a fight with Joyce – who beat Daniel Dubois in November to jump to No2 in the WBO rankings.
      Promoter Frank Warren has opened up talks with Usyk’s team.

      How Usyk and Joyce match up ahead of their potential 2021 showdown

      But, without guaranteed big money from live gates, negotiations are expected to drag on.
      Usyk, who won 2012 Olympic gold in London, has not boxed in Kiev since 2015 and Putney man Joyce knows he will have no fear of signing up for a British battle.
      The pair last clashed in 2013 at York Hall as amateurs and Joyce remembers the atmosphere Usyk fans created in the 1,200-seater hall for his loss.
      Joyce said: “The WBO now has him as No 1 and me as No 2 so it is the natural progression that we fight each other.
      “Especially if Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are working on fighting each other, probably a couple of times.
      “The WBO is backing it, they want to make the fight and the fans want to see it happen.
      “I know Usyk has a lot of support in the UK and he has never been afraid of travelling.
      “I remember fighting him in the World Boxing Super Series in East London and it felt like I was in the Ukraine.
      “It seems like every Ukrainian based in the UK comes out to support their guy when they compete so, if fans are allowed in by the time we meet, the atmosphere will be great.
      “His fans bring drums, they sing and shout so I am sure he will have no problem fighting here.”

      Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury could be pushed back to July in huge boost to fans with £200m fight agreed

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA’s blockbuster undisputed heavyweight title fight with Tyson Fury could be pushed back until July.
      The biggest fight in the history of British boxing is on the brink of being announced following months of negotiations.

      A two-fight deal, which will see both men split the purse from their first meeting evenly, was agreed last June.
      Both parties had earmarked late June for the long-awaited Battle of Britain, although Fury’s co-promoter Bob Arum has revealed the bout could end up happening in early July.
      The Top Rank Boxing chief told The Daily Mirror: “We’re nearly there.
      “As far as I can ascertain, there are no issues separating the two sides. There has been consensus agreement in all issues.

      “We hope very shortly that the fight will be signed. Then we will pick the site and we’ll be up and running.
      “I’m looking towards late June or early July for the actual fight to take place.”

      The news that Joshua vs Fury could take place in July is a huge boost for UK sports fans, who, from June 21 onwards, won’t be restricted from filling stadiums and arenas.

      Arum’s update on the potential date for the fight comes a few days after he revealed the fine details of the £200million bout had been ironed out.
      He told iFL TV: “Yeah as far as I am concerned. I’ve been working on it; all the points have been agreed to.
      “That’s what each side has said. Now, we are scrambling around to get the thing signed and everything.
      “But I can say clearly, based on my view on everything, that there are no more issues.”

      Unified heavyweight king Joshua is champing at the bit to share the ring with his WBC counterpart and settling the long-running debate over who the best heavyweight in the world is.
      During a JD Sports live stream last Sunday, AJ: “June should be the date.
      “Trust me. For the fans, for the people that have been calling it on for many, many months.
      “Shoutout to Fury and his team as well, hungry go-getters, that’s what we are.

      “UK stand up. And to the world – we’re bringing it.
      “I can’t wait. Undisputed.”
      SunSport understands an announcement for the blockbuster showdown is set to be made later this month.
      A non-disclosure agreement has restricted both parties from discussing the fine details of the deal, much to the disappointment of many.

      Mike Tyson training: The methods icon used to transform body from 4,000 calorie-a-day diet to brutal 4am runs

      by

      MIKE TYSON dramatically transformed his body back into fighting shape for his boxing comeback in 2020 – with more in store in 2021.
      The American fought fellow legend Roy Jones Jr to a draw in November – his first fight in 15 years since he retired.

      And now he’s readying himself to face former foe Evander Holyfield at some stage in 2021, with Lennox Lewis also registering his interest.
      Back in the day, Tyson stuck to a strict and brutal training schedule and diet under his trainer and mentor Cus D’Amato.
      And while it’s not known if the 54-year-old has kept to those standards, his stunning shape ahead of his ring return proves he is on the right track.
      Here SunSport reveals Iron Mike’s iconic regime that helped him become the youngest heavyweight champion of all time aged 20.

      DIET
      According to ManOfManny, Tyson used to consume anywhere from 3,000-4,000 calories a day.
      He would start off with oatmeal, milk and vitamin supplements like magnesium and fish oil tablets.
      For lunch he would go for chicken breast, as it’s a muscle-building food, high in protein and low in fat and carbohydrates.
      His carbs were made up of rice, which is packed full of whole grains and provided him with energy.

      His favourite drink was orange juice, full of Vitamin C and natural sugars, to lift calorie consumption while giving a healthy energy boost.

      For dinner Iron Mike got a nice blend of protein between steak and pasta.
      And he would again enjoy a glass of OJ to go with it.
      In between meals Tyson had a protein shake blended with SIX bananas, to aid muscle growth and recovery.
      And as a heavyweight, he did not need to worry about making weight, meaning he could enjoy a cheat snack every now and then.
      He loved ice cream and cereal – both loaded with sugar.

      TRAINING
      In a breakdown released by Bodhizone, Tyson’s workout schedule was rammed.
      Like most boxers in the past, Iron Mike would start his day early with a three to five-mile jog around 4am.
      After two hours he would come back, shower and go to sleep again until about 10am, when it was time for breakfast.
      By midday he would be in the gym for his first boxing session, which was normally ten straight rounds of sparring.
      Tyson then did three sets of Calisthenics, including squats, tricep extensions, pushups, shrugs with 30 kilos and neck crunches.

      Overall, he would perform ten sets of each over his six days of training.
      Afterwards, at 2pm the heavyweight would then have lunch before returning back to the gym for more boxing.
      This consisted of sparring, bag work, pads with his trainer, and an hour on the stationary bike as well as more Calisthenics.
      At 5pm, Tyson would do four more sets of the same calisthenics routine and then slow shadow boxing, focusing on just ONE technique.
      Two hours later he would have dinner, before his final session of the day at 8pm, which was a light 30 minutes on the exercise bike for recovery purposes.
      Tyson was in bed at 9pm, watching TV or studying fight films before hitting the hay.

      REST
      Tyson trained six days a week, taking Sunday off.
      He would do extra chores around Cus’ house or watch old fight films with his coaches while not training.
      Now, Tyson enjoys smoking marijuana, as he owns his own ranch in California.
      The two-time champion claims to be burning through around £33,000-a-week alongside his business partner Eben Britton.

      Tyson revealed he has stopped taking marijuana while in campCredit: Refer to Caption
      But he revealed he stopped taking marijuana while in camp.
      He said on Joe Rogan’s Podcast: “Pretty much stopped, when you do something like this it’s all about change.
      “Listen, you can’t continue being a comedian if you’re not sharpening your psyche.
      “Even when you’re doing this here, you’re practising your comedian act. You have to continue to practice.”

      Derek Chisora vs Joseph Parker tale of the tape: How boxers compare after verbally agreeing to fight in May

      by

      DEREK CHISORA is on a collision course with former heavyweight champion Joseph Parker.
      Former WBO titleholder Parker agreed to face the battle-seasoned Chisora in a light-hearted FaceTime call earlier this week.

      Chisora, 37, said to the New Zealander: “I’ve been trying to get hold of you!”
      Parker, who lost the WBO strap to Anthony Joshua two years ago, replied: “Are you ready to go?”
      A fired-up Chisora responded: “I’m ready to go. How about you? I’m ready to rock and roll so you tell me.”
      Parker added: “I’m ready to rock and roll too, seriously. I’m ready to go.

      “I’m looking forward to seeing you soon because you entertain.”
      Fan favourite Chisora signed off by saying: “Parker has FaceTimed me and has definitely confirmed the fight is happening.”

      Parker then added: “Let’s make it happen.”

      With a showdown between the pair verbally agreed, attention has turned to their respective records.
      And SunSport is on hand to give you all the details on a potential showdown between the pair, who are looking to share the ring in May.
      Derek Chisora

      Former world title challenger Chisora has fought a who’s who of the heavyweight division.
      The bruiser has locked horns with the likes of David Haye, Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte and Vitali Klitschko.
      The Zimbabwean-born Brit has had 42 fights in his professional career, which began all the way back in February 2007.
      War has triumphed in 32 of those bouts, winning 23 of them by way of KO or TKO.

      Chisora has tasted defeat on ten occasions, including in his world title clash with Klitschko in February 2012.
      The veteran has won three of his last four since losing his rematch with Whyte and is still very much a force to be reckoned with in the stacked heavyweight division.
      Joseph Parker
      At the age of 29, New Zealand’s Parker still has his best years ahead of him.

      The 6’4 Kiwi has amassed an impressive record since making his debut against Dean Garmonsway in July 2012.
      Parker has tasted victory 28 times in 30 professional fights, winning 21 of his bouts inside the distance.
      The only blemishes on his record are back-to-back defeats to Joshua and Whyte, the former of which ended his reign as WBO king.
      Parker has bounced back incredibly well from those consecutive setbacks, rattling off four wins in a row.
      But he looked sluggish and slow in his decision victory over Junior Fa late last month.

      The post comes off the back of her Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship debut, which she lost against Britain Hart.
      It was VanZant’s first fight since leaving the UFC, which led to her shock bare-knuckle boxing switch.
      But the 26-year-old is set to perform a quick turnaround and get back in the ring early in the summer.
      Feldman told MMA Fighting: “I can confidently say Paige VanZant absolutely will be back with us here in early to mid-summer.

      “100 per cent. We are 100 per cent in the Paige VanZant business.
      “We like being in that business. She delivered for us on every aspect we needed and finished the fight strong so that was very important for us.”
      VanZant signed a multi-million-pound deal with BKFC last summer after being released by the UFC following her submission loss to Amanda Ribas.
      Despite VanZant coming up short in her promotional debut, Feldman insists BKFC’s acquisition has so far been a success.

      He said: “Some people looked at me crazy ‘you’re paying her too much, you’re doing this, you’re doing that.’
      “I said, ‘Look I don’t know everything but I know what I’m doing on this stuff and she delivered.’
      “She delivered on every aspect that we needed her to deliver on.
      “She was worth everything that we gave her and it’s a great partnership.
      “She did everything we wanted her to do and we did everything she wanted us to do. We definitely have a win-win relationship.
      “I said in all my interviews and I said to you, I really take my hat off to her because she didn’t have to do this.
      “Now I take my hat off to her even more because she definitely doesn’t have to do this again.
      “She’s doing it and she really wants to prove herself and that’s the kind of person that I wanted to be in business with, the kind of person I have a lot of respect for.”
