      Roy Jones Jr looking sharp on pads aged 51 as boxing legend prepares for Mike Tyson showdown fight

      by

      ROY JONES JR looked sharp on the pads as the 51-year-old prepared to face Mike Tyson.
      The veteran pair are set to do battle in the ring on November 28 in an exhibition bout.

      And Jones Jr, 51, showed he still has the skills required to succeed with his blistering pace on the pads in a video he posted to Instagram.
      Working with coach Tom Yankello, Jones Jr was put through his paces at the World Class Boxing Gym in Pittsburgh.
      Not everyone is favour of the clash between the two boxing legends with a combined age of 105.
      Former world heavyweight champ Tyson, 54, has a natural size advantage over Jones – who traditionally competed in lower divisions.

      And Tyson’s former conqueror Danny Williams warned about the consequences of a potential mismatch.
      He told rt.com: “I think Roy is going to get seriously hurt. He is a natural middleweight.”
      Jones recently opened up on the struggles he has had to overcome in his life.
      He revealed he battled suicidal thoughts in his younger years but is now “a killer”.

      Jones Jr may avoid similar treatment given the nature of the fight – the California State Commission rules state both will not look for the knockout, instead ‘exhibiting’ their skills.

      Deontay Wilder in ‘amazing physical shape’ ahead of Tyson Fury trilogy fight, says his protege Raphael Akpejiori

      by

      DEONTAY WILDER is in ‘amazing physical shape’ ahead of a third fight with Tyson Fury, according to his protege Raphael Akpejiori.
      The Bronze Bomber was beaten up by Fury, 32, in their second fight in February but is blitzing himself in the gym ahead of the scheduled trilogy clash in December.

      Nigerian Raphael Akpejiori has been guided by Deontay Wilder

      Wilder, 34, has been mentoring Nigerian heavyweight prospect Akpejiori and he could spar the 29-year-old in preparation for The Gypsy King.
      The former WBC champ has upped his training regime in Miami.
      He is being looked after by the same coach who drills former University of Miami basketball and American football star Akpejiori.
      Akpejiori told Sky Sports: “Based on what I know, the only person that can beat Deontay right now, is Deontay.

      “He will beat Fury if he sticks to the game plan from his coaching staff, and I know that he has all the physical tools.
      “Right now he is in amazing physical shape, that I can tell you for sure.
      “You will see a completely different Deontay, mentally and physically in the ring, when that bell rings again for that third fight. That I can tell you.
      Wilder surrendered his WBC crown after suffering a seventh-round stoppage against Fury in Las Vegas.

      Wilder is no stranger to putting in the hard yards in trainingCredit: Getty Images – Getty
      His corner controversially threw in the towel after Wilder was dropped twice by the man from Morecambe.
      Many thought Fury had done enough to win the first fight in December 2018 on points but the judges ruled it a draw after The Gypsy King miraculously got off the canvas in the 12th round.
      He made sure it didn’t go the distance second time round but Wilder’s sparring parter has since claimed The Bronze Bomber carried a bicep injury into the fight.
      But Akpejiori denied he is struggling with his physical condition and added: “You’re going to have to wait for Deontay to break it down and address those rumours.
      “Listen, I can tell you from my conversations with Deontay that he was ready to fight Tyson Fury in July.
      “The only reason why he didn’t fight Tyson Fury in July, was because the fight was moved due to the coronavirus pandemic and the lockdown that came after that.
      “He does the same workouts that we’ve been doing. I don’t know how somebody can be injured and do all that. It’s really hard stuff, I can tell you that for sure.”

      The Alabama fighter immediately opted to take up his rematch clause against Fury but Covid-19 put pay to chances of getting a fight on this summer.
      Yet promoter Bob Arum is ‘optimistic’ the two will fight on December 19 in front of 10,000-15,000 fans in the 65,000 capacity new Raiders Stadium in the US.
      Akpejiori made it clear Wilder – who has advised him since 2017 – is still ‘very hungry’ to reclaim his belts from Englishman Fury.
      He said: “Oh yeah, he definitely is. You can really tell that’s all he’s thinking about, from just talking.
      “We talk about a whole lot of other things, personal stuff, boxing promotional stuff.
      “But concerning fighting Tyson Fury, he’s extremely confident. He’s very excited about that third fight.
      “I can tell you for sure that he’s very hungry, and he’s trying to get back into the ring as soon as possible.
      “He’s in great spirits, excited to get back to fight Tyson Fury.”

      MIKE TYSON showed his devastating power and speed in training – by nearly taking his trainer’s head off.
      The heavyweight legend steps back into the ring on November 28 to face Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition contest.

      The American is set to duel with Roy Jones Jr in November

      Rafael Cordeiro has been overseeing Tyson’s preparations for the fight and was almost put in a coma for his troubles.
      Footage posted online by FightHype showed Iron Mike hammering his padded-up trainer with brutal punches.
      On more than one occasion, Tyson, 54, takes a swipe near Cordeiro’s head – earning a stern look from his coach.
      Cordeiro is no stranger to facing a barrage of blows, from his fighting days as Brazil’s Muay Thai champion with an MMA record of four wins and two defeats.

      And fans were left fearing for the safety of Jones Jr, 51, in the upcoming bout.
      Adrien wrote online: “Tyson still almost annihilating his trainers In his 50’s lmao. This better be for charity and Tyson doesn’t let his full power fly, or we might be needing a body bag for my boy Roy.”

      Jay added: “This dude is definitely gonna break Roy’s ribs.”
      Mikey commented: “Rafael Cordeiro almost got his head taken off!!!”

      While David pondered: “Damn I think Roy should think this over.”
      Officially speaking, California State Commission rules state that both fighters will not look for the knockout in November, instead “exhibiting” their skills.

      Mayweather’s amazing lifestyle, with homes in LA, Miami and Las Vegas, a £20million car collection and £14m watch

      by

      WHEN you’re one of the world’s richest sports stars, it’s an open invitation to spend, spend, spend.
      And Floyd Mayweather, 43, isn’t afraid to show off his dazzling wealth to his millions of followers on social media.

      ‘Money’ regularly wows us with his amazing lifestyle, sharing video and photos inside his incredible homes, showing off his latest rides, as well as his expensive jewellery.
      It’s a life he’s built all himself – being one of only six sportsman in the world ever to earn over $1billion (£760million) in his career – with reports saying it might be as much as £2.4billion.
      Here’s where some of that money went…
      THREE AMAZING HOMES
      Mayweather doesn’t skimp when it comes to property.

      That’s why he’s got THREE incredible mansions dotted around the country – in LA, Las Vegas, and Miami.
      His most recent purchase is his Nevada compound that cost a whopping £7.8million.
      The undefeated boxing champ’s Vegas mansion features 11 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a gym.
      There’s also a wine cellar and his own vineyard, as well as two detached underground garages that house his mega car collection – more to come on that later.

      His LA abode in Beverly Hills set him back an eye-watering £19million.

      The six-bed, 10-bathroom property has everything a sports superstar could want, and his love of wine continues with a 225 wine rack he’s showed off before on social media fixed on the kitchen wall.
      There’s also a 12-seat cinema room, complete with its very own sweet shop loaded with popcorn, chocolate and liquorice.
      While his Miami beachfront five-bedroom house is the perfect holiday home.
      Mayweather bought the 5,200-square-foot £5.3million digs in 2015, but is rarely seen there.
      It features a sleek design, with an open-plan layout and floor-to-ceiling windows in place of walls.
      Outside, there’s a ‘zero-edge’ swimming pool and spa, and the mansion also comes with a private dock as part of its boatload of features.
      SO MANY CARS
      It’s no secret that Mayweather loves his motors.
      But he often only gets them in two colours – white or black. Either way, he has to have two of each stored in LA and Las Vegas.
      And it’s reckoned that his car collection is worth around £20million.

      Other notable rides include a Lamborghini Aventador (£275,000), as well as a Ferrari 488 worth around £238,000.
      Recent additions to Mayweather’s LA fleet are his Mercedes G63 AMG (£155,000), and he even has his own branded van.
      And if it’s not wheels he’s after, wings work too.
      Mayweather is believed to own three private jets, including one he calls ‘Air Mayweather.’
      He bought a £50million Gulfstream G650 jet as a birthday present for himself in 2018.
      Often, he shares snaps online playing high-stakes poker with mates on board.
      The plane is, of course, emblazoned with his TMT ‘The Money Team’ logo and his undefeated 50-0 professional boxing record.
      AND THE JEWELLERY
      When you live the lifestyle Mayweather leads, you’ve got to look the part.

      Roy Jones Jr: “He’s still Mike Tyson, he’s still one of the strongest, most explosive people who ever touched a boxing ring. If anything, I made a mistake going in with him. He’s the bigger guy, he’s the explosive guy. He’s going to have all the first-round fireworks, not me. I do have first-round fireworks, but he’s known for more first-round fireworks than anybody to ever touch boxing, other than maybe George Foreman.” More

      Dillian Whyte refuses to make changes to team and style as Povetkin rematch with fight announced for 21 November

      by

      DILLIAN WHYTE insists he does not need to make major changes to exact rematch revenge on Alexander Povetkin on November 21.
      The Brixton heavyweight made a great start against the 41-year-old Russian on August 22, flooring him twice in promoter Eddie Hearn’s Essex garden.

      Dillian Whyte is looking for revenge after his fifth round defeat to Alexander Povetkin

      3

      Povetkin was floored twice in the initial fight but found a way to win with a stunning KO

      But the Body Snatcher was knocked spark out by a lethal fifth-round uppercut and lost his mandatory challenger status for Tyson Fury’s WBC crown.
      The shock loss was his first fight under new trainer Xavier Miller – with Dave Coldwell drafted in as a late assistant – after splitting with long-time coach Mark Tibbs during lockdown.
      But Whyte, 32, believes he does not need to make drastic changes for the must-win rerun and that just a little more concentration is key.
      Speaking from his Portugal training camp, Whyte said: “I’m over the moon to have the rematch.

      “As soon as I got out of the ring, I was looking for confirmation that the fight would be on. I can’t wait to get back in the ring and get back what is rightfully mine.
      “I’m looking to do what I said I would the first time and that’s beat Alexander Povetkin.
      “There won’t be any major adjustments but I just need to be more switched on and not get distracted. He was able to use his experience against me.”

      3

      Eddie Hearn’s immaculate Essex garden hosted the first fight after Covid-restrictions left the promoter with few options
      The three-month turnaround is rapid, especially after serving a 28-day medical suspension from the British Boxing Board of Control.

      But Whyte reckons the same ruthless mindset and gameplan will help him avenge only the second defeat of his career.
      He said: “I will be a lot more focused and sharper in the rematch. 
      “I’m coming to win and knock him out. I’m coming to even the score and the only way to do that is by knocking him out.”
      Povetkin welcomed his second baby to the world during his training camp and twice climbed off the canvas after taking a couple of Whyte’s best shots in the initial bout.
      So the Soviet slugger is even more confident of returning to the UK for another payday.

      Floyd Mayweather’s glittering boxing career was worth an astronomical £2.4BILLION as earnings from PPVs revealed

      by

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER’S boxing career generated a staggering £2.4billion from pay-per-views.
      That is according to World Boxing News, who have calculated the numbers by working out the average price for a PPV bill (£58) with the amount of sales.

      They even stated that the 43-year-old’s fights generated a whopping £1.4bn in the United States alone.
      And worldwide figures brought the figure to £2.4bn, proving Mayweather really is the ‘Money’ man after all.
      It has been claimed that Mayweather’s contract with Showtime made £776m alone, thanks to 14 million PPV buys.
      In total, Mayweather had 16 PPV fights spanning 2005-2017, culminating in his tenth round stoppage win against Conor McGregor.

      His 2015 bout against Manny Pacquiao – dubbed the ‘Fight of the Centuty’ – earned the most buys.
      MAY PAY DAY
      With over 4.6 million purchases, the contest is said to have generated over £310m in revenue.
      His second-highest grossing fight was the last of his 50 outings inside the ring.
      An incredible 4.3 million people bought the PPV event to see who would come out on top against the Notorious, with the fight earning an estimated £287m in revenue.

      Mayweather’s dust-up against Saul Alvarez in 2013 earned £116m thanks to 2.2million buys.

      Mayweather’s amazing lifestyle, with homes in LA, Miami and Las Vegas, a £20million car collection and £14million watch

      by

      WHEN you’re one of the world’s richest sports stars, it’s an open invitation to spend, spend, spend.
      And Floyd Mayweather, 43, isn’t afraid to show off his dazzling wealth to his millions of followers on social media.

      ‘Money’ regularly wows us with his amazing lifestyle, sharing video and photos inside his incredible homes, showing off his latest rides, as well as his expensive jewellery.
      It’s a life he’s built all himself – being one of only six sportsman in the world ever to earn over $1billion (£760million) in his career – with reports saying it might be as much as £2.4billion.
      Here’s where some of that money went…
      THREE AMAZING HOMES
      Mayweather doesn’t skimp when it comes to property.

      That’s why he’s got THREE incredible mansions dotted around the country – in LA, Las Vegas, and Miami.
      His most recent purchase is his Nevada compound that cost a whopping £7.8million.
      The undefeated boxing champ’s Vegas mansion features 11 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a gym.
      There’s also a wine cellar and his own vineyard, as well as two detached underground garages that house his mega car collection – more to come on that later.

      His LA abode in Beverly Hills set him back an eye-watering £19million.

      The six-bed, 10-bathroom property has everything a sports superstar could want, and his love of wine continues with a 225 wine rack he’s showed off before on social media fixed on the kitchen wall.
      There’s also a 12-seat cinema room, complete with its very own sweet shop loaded with popcorn, chocolate and liquorice.
      While his Miami beachfront five-bedroom house is the perfect holiday home.
      Mayweather bought the 5,200-square-foot £5.3million digs in 2015, but is rarely seen there.
      It features a sleek design, with an open-plan layout and floor-to-ceiling windows in place of walls.
      Outside, there’s a ‘zero-edge’ swimming pool and spa, and the mansion also comes with a private dock as part of its boatload of features.
      SO MANY CARS
      It’s no secret that Mayweather loves his motors.
      But he often only gets them in two colours – white or black. Either way, he has to have two of each stored in LA and Las Vegas.
      And it’s reckoned that his car collection is worth around £20million.

      He has a series of Rolls-Royces worth over a staggering £3million, as well as four Bugatti Veyron supercars that cost £1.7million.
      Other notable rides include a Lamborghini Aventador (£275,000), as well as a Ferrari 488 worth around £238,000.
      Recent additions to Mayweather’s LA fleet are his Mercedes G63 AMG (£155,000), and he even has his own branded van.
      And if it’s not wheels he’s after, wings work too.
      Mayweather is believed to own three private jets, including one he calls ‘Air Mayweather.’
      He bought a £50million Gulfstream G650 jet as a birthday present for himself in 2018.
      Often, he shares snaps online playing high-stakes poker with mates on board.
      The plane is, of course, emblazoned with his TMT ‘The Money Team’ logo and his undefeated 50-0 professional boxing record.
      AND THE JEWELLERY
      When you live the lifestyle Mayweather leads, you’ve got to look the part.

      And the Michigan-born ringmaster loves jewellery, including having a penchant for watches… expensive ones, at that.
      It is believed he has up to 41 in his collection – but nothing beats his “One and Only” worth a staggering £14million bought from Japanese jeweller Tadashi Fukushima.
      Made by Jacob & Co, it’s actually called ‘The Billionaire Watch’ and was made in 2015.
