    Tyson Fury was impressed with what he saw
    Alongside it Fury wrote: “What a shape on a man especially for his age. Respect. Ripped.”
    He then tagged in the 48-year-old.
    Johnson is seen facing the camera in the gym, with his muscles and veins bulging after a workout.

    He is continuing his gruelling workouts ahead of his next film in which he reprises his role of Black Adam.
    ‘The Rock’ is also set to produce and star in a movie biopic about pro-wrestler turned MMA and UFC fighter Mark Kerr.
    He revealed the news in a surprise press conference at UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden in New York on Friday.
    He said:  “Mark Kerr’s story is such an incredible story.

    “Like all of us, and like a lot of these fighters, he battled these demons — these demons of addiction, these demons of mental health, these demons of getting out and the pressure of fighting in front of 50,000 people and what that does to somebody.

    “Here’s a guy who has gone through it all, hit rock bottom, but the best part about Mark Kerr is that, like all of us in this room and all these fighters, these warriors, is that everyday, we get up and we want to do a little bit better tomorrow than we did today.”
    Mike Kerr was considered to be the best fighter in the world during his MMA career from 1997 – 2009, as well as being a two-time UFC heavyweight champion.
    Fury, meanwhile, is heavily into his fitness after an incredible 10-stone weight loss that got him back to the pinnacle of boxing.
    The 32-year-old held daily workouts through the first lockdown of 2020, and regularly shares footage of his gym work and running on social media.
    He also released a book late last year called The Furious Method to give tips on how to transform the body with exercise and diet.
    The Gypsy King is now in negotiations for a mouthwatering undisputed clash against fellow Brit Anthony Joshua this year.

    What is Conor McGregor’s entrance ring walk music he walks out to for UFC fights?

    IF previous entrances are anything to go by, Conor McGregor will be making quite the ring walk for his huge clash against Dustin Poirier.
    The Notorious usually walks down to the ring to his late namesake who was from Brooklyn, but only after something more close to home.

    What is the entrance song Conor McGregor uses, and who sings it?

    Draped in the Irish flag McGregor usually walks down to The Foggy Dew, an Irish folk ballad.
    Foggy Dew is powerful Irish war ballad with the lyrics describing the Easter Rising that took place in April 1916.
    The version McGregor walks down to the ring to is the one Sinead O’Connor sang on the 1995 Chieftain’s album The Long Black Veil.
    At UFC 189 in Las Vegas, O’Connor sang a live rendition of the song for McGregor’s entrance.

    The song then mixes into Notorious B.I.G’s 1997 hit Hypnotize, from album Life After Death.
    McGregor has also used 50 Cent’s I Get Money mixed into The Foggy Dew in the past too

    When did McGregor first use the song?
    McGregor first used the song in the UFC before his fight against Diego Brandao at UFC Fight Night in Dublin in July 2014.
    In front of the joyous home support, McGregor recorded a first-round knockout in the bout. More

    Floyd Mayweather shows off CRYSTAL ping pong table worth a staggering £22,000

    FLOYD MAYWEATHER paraded his CRYSTAL ping pong table worth an eye-watering £22,000.
    Money Mayweather is no stranger to flaunting his staggering wealth and his latest luxury purchase was shown off by The Money Team on Instagram.

    The 43-year-old boxer could be relaxing with a spot of table tennis in between training sessions ahead of his exhibition clash with YouTuber Logan Paul next month.
    One fan did point out the potential pitfall with his choice of material, saying: “It’s all fun and games until someone throws a paddle and breaks the entire table.”
    Mayweather and Paul are trying to break pay-per-view records ‘by a long shot’ to make the unlikely clash the richest bout of all time.
    Unbeaten boxing legend Mayweather was told his reputation would NOT be tarnished, if Paul shocked the world to beat him.

    Mayweather quit boxing as a pro in 2017 after beating UFC star Conor McGregor and finished up with a flawless 50-0 record.
    But the American has been tempted back into the ring for lucrative exhibitions scraps.
    He made £7million for just under two minutes work against kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa on New Year’s Eve in 2018.
    And now ahead of another cash-maker versus Paul, Mayweather reminded fans ‘I didn’t retire from making money’.

    How Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul compare ahead of their fight

    The former five-division champ showed off his diamond jewels and watch, justifying his place at the top of Forbes sporting rich list of the decade in 2019.
    And Mayweather appears to have forked out for a sparkling diamond ring after The Sun was told he popped the question to his British stripper girlfriend Anna Monroe and the pair are now engaged.
    Fans were also questioning whether the famous fighter had laid out for a hair transplant after he was spotted parading his fleet of expensive cars with a full head of hair – a move away from his traditional bald look.

    Humble Mike Tyson rejects Anthony Joshua’s claim he would beat Muhammad Ali if boxing legends ever met in ring

    MIKE TYSON has dismissed claims that he would have beaten Muhammad Ali in his prime.
    Anthony Joshua reignited the age-old debate last month as he predicted that Iron Mike would have won.

    Tyson came out on top when the fight was simulated by the World Boxing Super Series but the 54-year-old insisted he would have lost to Ali as he described him as the ‘greatest there’s ever been’.
    He told Yahoo Sports: “I know it’s a fantasy game.
    “Most likely I would win the fantasy, I wouldn’t win the real fight.
    “Ali’s the greatest there’s ever been.”

    Ali, who passed away aged 74 in 2016, finished his career with 56 wins and five defeats.
    The man dubbed ‘The Greatest’ won the first 31 fights of his career – before losing to Joe Frazier.
    Tyson, who 24 years Ali’s junior, called time on his career in 2005 with a record of 50-6.

    But the 54-year-old made an incredible comeback to the ring in November to face Roy Jones Jr.
    Evander Holyfield has now confirmed that he is in talks to fight Tyson – 34 years after having his ear bitten by his old rival.
    Holyfield, 58, told SunSport: “The thing is that if it’s meant to be it will happen, either way, it is what it is.
    “What I can tell you is that my team is talking to Mike’s management, so I’m waiting for a decision. They are communicating right now. 
    “The thing is I’m still training for this, I know it will be some day this deal will happen and I’m ready for him. I’m doing OK.”

    FLOYD Mayweather is engaged to his stripper girlfriend Anna Monroe, a source told The Sun.
    The boxing champ, 43, has proposed to Anna Monroe, 29, – head stripper at his Las Vegas club Girl Collection – shortly after news of their relationship was revealed by The Sun last week, the insider said.

    Anna posted pictures on Instagram on Sunday in which she sports a huge diamond ring – believed to be her engagement ring – on her left hand.
    According to the source, they are also planning to try for a baby this year.
    “Floyd was annoyed at first that news of their relationship broke because he wanted to keep it private,” the source told The Sun.
    “They had an argument about it but soon made up.

    “And then he decided to pop the question on Saturday.
    “Anna has told family and friends she’s getting married and wants to have a baby with Floyd this year.

    “She hasn’t announced it on social media but everyone could see the huge rock on her hand on her latest Instagram snaps.
    “Her family and friends have had their concerns about the relationship but she’s an adult, it’s her decision and they want her to be happy.”

    The boxer has been seeing Brit Anna for months and the couple went official with their relationship on New Year’s Day – telling family and friends in the UK the news over FaceTime, according to a friend.
    She could be seen giving him a lap dance in an exclusive video published last week.

    Blonde Anna can be seen wearing a revealing black dress and grinding against the boxer at the club to the Nicki Minaj song Sir.
    Floyd, dressed in a baseball cap and patterned shirt, can be seen grinning and rubbing his hand against her butt.
    Anna has also posted photos of her and Floyd on holiday posing outside the Acropolis in Athens, Greece.
    The pair have also posted pictures of themselves at the exact same locations at the same time in Paris, France; Abu Dhabi, UAE; the Blue Lagoon spa in Iceland; Santorini, Greece and Amsterdam, Holland.
    A family friend told The Sun last week: “They have been seeing each other on and off for a while, whenever Floyd decides.
    “Now Floyd wants another child he only wants Anna to be the mother.

    “They FaceTimed Anna’s family in England on New Year’s Day to tell them officially about their relationship.
    ” They met at Floyd’s club Girl Collection.
    “Anna was born in America but her parents moved to England for work when she was younger.
    “She then moved back to America when she was 22.
    “She went for an interview for the job at Girl Collection but was declined, however as she was leaving she passed Floyd in the corridor.
    “The next day the club called her and asked her to go back in and Floyd was there in person with a candle lit dinner in the strip club to tell her she got the job and she was now the lead girl.”

    Anna has not yet commented on the relationshipCredit: Instagram
    Her family were said to be concerned about the relationship given the boxer’s track record with women, including his ex Josie Harris who accused him of domestic violence.
    The world champion boxer, whose last pro bout was against Conor McGregor in August 2017, served two months behind bars after he was convicted for attacking his ex Josie and the pair split up.
    Josie, the mum of Floyd’s three kids, was found dead at the wheel of her car in California on March 9 last year after an accidental drug overdose.
    She was writing a tell-all book about the beatings she suffered at his hands, at the time of her death.
    Before his relationship with Josie, Mayweather had been convicted of attacking another partner, Melissa Brim, the mother of his daughter Iyanna, who he punched in an argument in a Las Vegas shopping centre in 2001.

    He pleaded guilty to two counts of battery against Brim and received a suspended sentence in 2002, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
    A year later, he punched two of her female friends in a nightclub and again received a suspended sentence for two counts of battery, the Las Vegas Sun reported.
    “Everyone knows Floyd Mayweather beat his other girlfriend up,” a family friend said.
    “Her dad is worried sick but Floyd just reels them in with money.
    “Yeah when they have a child that child will be set up for life but Floyd will eventually get fed up with Anna and hurt her one way or another.”
    Despite his history of violence towards women, Mayweather has been linked with many different partners in recent years.

    He was engaged to Shantel Jackson, but they split in 2013, with Jackson starting a relationship with rapper Nelly a year later.
    Neither Anna or Floyd responded to requests for comment.

    Ahead of the fight, 2017 World’s Strongest Man Hall is working out like he is going to face heavyweight world champion Fury instead of the Game of Thrones star.
    But Hall was quick to confirm that he would NOT want to take on the unbeaten Gypsy King.
    Speaking on his YouTube channel, he said: “Forget Thor, I’m training to fight Tyson Fury. 
    “I’m not going to, I don’t want to, but that’s who I’m training to fight and that’s what excites me

    Former doorman Hall is still scoffing down 7,000 calories per day ahead of his boxing debut.

    “The jogging, I’m doing a mile-and-a-half or two miles every single morning at a good pace of seven minute miles.
    “I’m doing two hours of weight training every day, so I’ve done two hours training legs.
    “I squatted 300kg this morning and I still come in to do ten three-minute rounds.
    “Everything is feeling really positive.”
    Bjornsson made his boxing debut against Irish cruiserweight Steven Ward on Friday.
    Despite weighing nine stone more than his opponent, Bjornsson’s first exhibition bout ended as a draw.
    After the fight, the Icelandic strongman vowed to knockout Hall when they eventually meet.

    Hall, who once weighed 28st, is gunning for revenge against Bjornsson.
    He has accused his rival of smearing him with ‘lies’ over the 2017 World’s Strongest Man cheat scandal.

    The 43-year-old pointed towards his Lamborghini Aventador, Bentley and Ferrari 488 and 599.
    Mayweather has a huge motor collection, believed to total around £20million.
    The multimillionaire – who topped Forbes rich list of the decade with a£706MILLION fortune in 2019 – then laughed at ‘comedians’ who say he is ‘hurting’.
    After a glimpse of his supercars, Mayweather was followed into his indoor swimming pool area, which is situated next to his garage.

    The swimming room is equipped with SIX TV screens so he can keep an eye on things while doing lengths.
    The next reveal was his massive living room, which appeared covered in artwork.
    Lastly, Mayweather wanted to show fans his front door, which is built to look like a huge gold bank vault.
    Explaining the design, he said: “My front door looks a little like a bank vault, because I’m Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather.”

    Floyd’s huge gold front door

    Mayweather retired as a professional in 2017 after beating UFC star Conor McGregor, banking north of £300m for his round ten win.
    But in 2018 he returned for an exhibition bout against featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, pocketing £7m for under two minutes of work.
    Despite not fighting since, Mayweather will make his comeback in February in his most daring money-making scheme yet.
    The all-time great faces YouTuber Logan Paul in a similar pay-per-view extravaganza, which promises to be more spectacle than competition.
