      Joshua, 30, and Fury, 32, are both playable characters on the new UFC 4 game.
      And eager fans could not resist throwing the two heavyweight into the Octagon together.
      YouTube channel MMAGAME simmed the showdown and shared footage of the outcome.
      Both fighters ended up on the canvas, but it was Joshua who came out on top.

      AJ sent the Gypsy King crashing to the ground with a huge right hand before he jumped on top of him.
      Joshua then knocked Tyson out cold to secure the win in the third round.
      But fans have a long time to wait until they can watch the real thing.

      Fury has to get past his trilogy fight against Deontay Wilder first.

      And Joshua will face Kubrat Pulev in December before he faces the unbeaten Gypsy King.
      Pulev has branded the British star “arrogant” for focusing on the Fury fight – even though he’s next in line.

      Eddie Hearn tells fan to ‘suck my nuts’ after being told his Matchroom Fight Camp card was ‘s***’ on Instagram live

      by

      EDDIE HEARN told a fan to “suck my nuts” on Instagram live after they slated the fight card for the latest Matchroom Fight Camp event.
      The promoter will host another star-studded boxing show in the grounds of the Matchroom HQ in Essex on Friday night.

      Eddie Hearn did not hold back as he responded to fans on InstagramCredit: Instagram / @eddiehearn
      Hearn went live on Instagram to promote the event to his 946,000 followers.
      But when one fan insulted the fight card, the 41-year-old hit straight back.
      As he read comments from the stream, Hearn said: “Right you said ‘s*** card this Eddie’. Mate, suck my nuts!
      “This ain’t a s*** card, this is an unbelievable card this Friday, let me tell you.

      “This card on Friday top to bottom is the best of the three.”
      Friday’s fight card features Felix Cash’s clash against Jason Welborn and John Docherty’s showdown with Anthony Fox.
      Discussing the fights on show, Hearn added: “Docherty against Fox, John Doc is a powerful super middleweight, Fox coming off a great win against Dwayne Sinclair.
      “It’s a proper eight-rounder to kick the show off.

      “Then we go back to the 154lb division with Nav Mansouri against Kieron Conway.
      “That’s a banging fight, let me tell you.
      “Then we go to the ladies again. Shannon Courtenay against Rachel Ball.
      “Toughest fight of Shannon’s career. Loads of people picking Rachel Ball in that fight.
      “Our new signing, Manchester’s finest Zelfa Barrett against Irish star Eric Donovan.
      “A lot of people think it’s a tough fight for Zelfa Barrett.
      “That’s a proper tear up the lawn. What’s the matter with you? This is the best one.”

      Another added: “You told him Ed! Great card mate.”

      Tyson Fury tells Frank Warren to find him another fight by end of the year as travel ban hits Deontay Wilder trilogy

      by

      TYSON FURY is eyeing up a sensational return to a British boxing ring before the end of this year.
      The Gypsy King’s hopes of taking on American Deontay Wilder again in 2020 could be KO’d by  Covid-19 travel restrictions.

      Fury’s hopes of taking on American  Deontay Wilder again in 2020 could be KO’d by Covid-19 travel restriction
      So Fury has ordered promoter Frank Warren to find him another fight.
      Warren revealed: “Tyson made it very clear  I’ve got to give him a fight by the end of the year.
      “I don’t want him fighting behind closed doors.
      “But Tyson’s been in lockdown since February so, by December, it’s ten months out of the ring.”

      Fury, 32, lost three years battling depression and a doping ban.
      The world heavyweight champ claims the best mental health medicine is training regularly.
      Warren said: “The only way the Wilder fight works financially is in front of  a crowd.

      MIKE TYSON showed Roy Jones Jr what he’s walking into by showing off his skills in a slow-mo video.
      The 54-year-old heavyweight legend is preparing to fight for the first time in 15 years, having signed to an eight-round exhibition bout.

      Tyson wings in hooks to body and head with Cordeiro’s body belt taking a beating.
      The pair now have more time to prepare for the pay-per-view spectacle after it was moved from September 12 to November 24.

      They were also due to box under strict orders, prohibiting knockouts and not having judges score the bout.
      But now an unnamed but recognised sanctioning body will oversee the fight adopting more familiar rules.
      Officials will be ringside scoring and the winner of the exhibition receive a special belt.

      Tyson Fury jokes dad John should join ‘middle-aged’ Love Island as Gypsy King reveals he’s ‘feeling fantastic’

      by

      TYSON FURY joked his dad should join “middle-aged” Love Island and revealed he is “feeling fantastic” ahead of his next fight.
      Fury signed his 56-year-old dad up to Instagram and the pair posted a video thanking fans for their support.

      Tyson Fury joked his dad John should join ‘middle-aged’ Love Island
      Then WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, 31, told his dad to follow in the footsteps of son Tommy, who made a name for himself of ITV’s hit reality TV show.
      Tyson said: “I tell you what, dad, what do you have to say to all your fans because over 50,000 followers in 24 hours?”
      John responded: “Well that’s incredible and I thank you very, very much for showing interest in me.
      “Because me being a nobody, I’m only the father of the heavyweight king of the world.”

      Tyson followed up: “Listen, if we can get Love Island stars for middle aged people, put me down! Middle aged Love Island!”
      Tommy fought twice as a professional before entering Love Island and came out a fully-fledged celebrity along with partner Molly-Mae Hague.
      He has boxed once more since, but gained over 3.1million followers.
      Tyson on the other hand regained the world title in February and prepares for an immediate rematch against Deontay Wilder, 34.

      And dad John insisted his son’s fitness almost beggars belief.

      Ring Magazine’s top 10 P4P boxers ranked with NO Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua.. but another heavyweight makes list

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA and Tyson Fury were no where to be seen in the Ring Magazine’s pound-for-pound rankings.
      But Canelo Alvarez dethroned Vasiliy Lomachenko as the world’s best boxer after becoming a four-weight champion last November.

      10

      The Mexican superstar beat WBO light-heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev in Las Vegas to cement his legacy in the list of the sport’s immortals.
      Boxing bible Ring Magazine has now seen fit to adorn Alvarez with another accolade less than two weeks after Lomachenko was crowned King of the Ring.
      Familiar faces behind the Ukrainian include Terence Crawford, and former undisputed cruiserweight king Oleksandr Usyk ranks as the only heavyweight – despite only one fight in the blue ribbon division.

      Here is Ring Magazine’s top ten boxers…
      1. Canelo Alvarez – 53–1–2 (36 KO)
      Mexican hero Saul Alvarez has quickly taken over as boxing’s biggest star since former foe Mayweather walked away from the sport.
      With only a sole loss – to Mayweather in 2013 aged 23 – “Canelo” has gone on to rule the super-welterweight and middleweight divisions as well as winning a world title at super-middleweight.
      However, a controversial draw and contentious win against rival Gennady Golovkin had doubters questioning Canelo’s invincibility with a trilogy bout yet to take place.

      Snubbing GGG to move up to 175lbs, a win over KO king Kovalev to become a four-weight champion and actively ruling three divisions has seen him rise to the P4P top.

      2. Vasiliy Lomachenko 14-1 (10)
      Leaving the amateur game with a record of 396-1 – with the one loss to Albert Selimov later avenged – the simple question was could the boxing maestro transcend his skill-set to 12 rounds.
      But after being roughed up by Orlando Salido for the WBO featherweight title in his second pro fight, Loma has not suffered a blip since, becoming the quickest three-weight world champion in history.
      In just 14 bouts, the 31-year-old has won four world belts and earned scalps such as Gary Russell Jr, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Jorge Linares and most recently Britain’s Campbell.
      Loma is due to face IBF champions Teofimo Lopez once the pair can agree terms and find a venue fitting to stage the potentially behind closed doors clash.

      3. Naoya Inoue – 19–0 (16 KO)
      A monstrous puncher, Inoue is working his way up the divisions and remaining the most powerful man in the ring.
      Having begun his career at 108lbs the Japanese star went on to claim titles at super-flyweight, junior-bantamweight champion and bantamweight.
      Unbeaten Inoue recently dared to call out Lomachenko for a featherweight bout – having scored 16 KOs in his 18 wins.
      The heavy-handed 26-year-old moves up to third after being crowned the World Boxing Super Series champion at bantamweight following his points victory over Nonito Donaire.

      4. Terence Crawford – 35–0 (26 KO)
      Possibly the best switch-hitter in the game right now, Crawford has the ability to overwhelm any foe with his combination punching.
      The American has won world titles at lightweight, super-lightweight and currently reigns as WBO welterweight king – having held undisputed gold at 140lbs.
      Though unlike others on this list, Crawford is yet to beat a high-profile name – but that could change if he secures a welterweight unification bout.
      He faces little-known Egidijus Kavaliauskas on December 14, but insists next year he will go after the best in the 147lbs division after calling out countrymen Errol Spence Jr.

      5. Oleksandr Usyk – 17–0 (13 KO)
      Usyk reigned as undisputed cruiserweight king having won the WBSS, and has now stamped his authority at heavyweight following a high-profile win against Tony Bellew.
      The Ukrainian maestro made a successful debut after making the step up when he stopped replacement opponent Chazz Witherspoon in seven rounds.
      Promoter Eddie Hearn has already hinted the 32-year-old could be in line to challenge for the WBO heavyweight title after securing a No1 spot with the governing body.
      Hearn claims the winner of the rematch between Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr will likely vacate the belt to instead face their IBF mandatory Kubrat Pulev – an easier option than Usyk.

      10

      6. Errol Spence Jr – 26–0 (21 KO)
      Former sparring partner of Floyd Mayweather, Spence’s punch volume, body attacks and balance give him the tools to rule the welterweight division.
      He has also been slated to move up the weights – having dwarfed many of his opponents at 147lbs – showing off his relentless pressure against Kell Brook in Sheffield three years ago.
      But the Texan added another belt in September, after he out-battled Shawn Porter in a Fight of The Year contender to become the new WBC and unified champion.
      He was already lined up to face either Danny Garcia or WBA champion Manny Pacquiao, but a devastating car crash left the boxer lucky to be alive and miraculously without a single broken bone.

      7. Gennady Golovkin – 40–1–1 (35 KO)
      Failing to get the decision against Canelo in 2017 and then 2018 has cost Golovkin both his belts and a spot in the second half of this list.
      Despite his age, 37-year-old Golovkin became world champion again by winning Canelo’s vacated IBF belt against Sergiy Derevyanchenko last month.
      Alvarez insists despite GGG winning back a world honour the trilogy does not interest him – unless the money is right.
      But for Golovkin the road does not end with the Mexican, with a move up to super-middleweight to become a two-division champion also sure to enhance the Kazakh’s legacy.

      10

      Golovkin secured the vacant IBF middleweight title with a unanimous points win over Sergiy Derevyanchenko
      8. Juan Francisco Estrada – 40–3 (27 KO)
      The Mexican rose to fame after avenging his defeat to Srisaket Sor Rungvisai – the man who dethroned super-flyweight king Roman Gonzalez.
      It came after Estrada reigned as unified flyweight world champion having beaten Brian Viloria.
      The 29-year-old moved to 40 wins in August after stopping American Dewayne Beamon in a tune-up bout ahead of bigger fights next year.
      9. Artur Beterbiev – 15-0 (15 KO)
      The Russian powerhouse cemented his place as the man at 175lbs after stopping Oleksandr Gvozdyk to add the WBC title to his IBF belt.
      The now unified light-heavyweight puncher stayed resilient in the Eastern European affair and kept his 100 per cent KO rate intact.
      A unification clash against WBA ruler Dmitry Bivol has now been mentioned alongside a potential meeting with Kovalev.

      10. Manny Pacquiao – 62–7–2 (39 KO)
      The Filipino great looked to have lost his status as one of the world’s best after a shock loss to Australian Jeff Horn in 2017.
      But PacMan scored a first KO in 11 years in his next fight, against Lucas Matthysse, before high-profile wins against Americans Adrien Broner and Keith Thurman this year – the latter for the WBA welterweight crown.
      In his storied 24-year career Pacquiao has ruled eight weight divisions, beginning his career at flyweight (112lbs) and going on to win titles at every weight up until welterweight (147lbs).

      Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury: Their expensive cars, jewellery, luxury homes and generous charity work

      by

      IT is on!
      Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have agreed terms to face off in the ring in 2021, according to the Gypsy King.

      26

      The pair are set to fight one another next year, if Fury disposes of Deontay Wilder in their trilogy bout and Joshua escapes unscathed from his world title defence against Kubrat Pulev.
      And it is set to be one of the richest fights in boxing history, earning as much as £150million, taking into account the purse, pay-per-view purchases, gate receipts and sponsors.
      However, British boxing fans will be disappointed to learn that it’s unlikely the fight will take place on our shores, and is more likely to be held in Las Vegas or Saudi Arabia.

      Outside the ring, Joshua, 30, and Fury, 32, are contrasting personalities that live fairly modest lives.
      Joshua, who has amassed a reported £107million fortune, lives in a North London home with his mum. While Fury, worth around £30million, has a base in Morecambe and plenty of impressive motors.
      But how do they compare?
      CARS
      After suffering with depression, Tyson decided it was best to scale down his lifestyle.

      He did own a Rolls Royce Phantom, worth around £360k, but decided to sell that when he hit an all-time low.

      Instead, he bought himself a 15-year-old Mercedes S-Class for £2,000. A shrewd investment from the big man.
      He did own a £160k Ferrari California, before he sold it to one of his friends.
      And Fury has also been seen around town in a £150,000 camo-wrapped Range Rover.
      “I used to love leading the flash life, like most red-blooded young men,” Tyson admitted.
      “No longer. I’m not interested in material possessions. Not any more. They mean nothing.”
      However, he has slightly contradicted himself of late.
      Tyson recently splashed around £300,000 on a Ferrari GTC supercar.
      While he also has a Land Rover Defender worth around £38,000, that he takes great joy in keeping clean.
      Meanwhile, Anthony did have his very own bespoke Range Rover –  the SVAutobiography-Dynamic through a sponsorship deal with Jaguar.
      Worth around £150k, the vehicle is so elaborate diamonds are stitched into the seating.
      There’s also a huge sports equipment storage unit in the boot for trophies, gloves, pads and a punchbag.

      However, weeks before a title fight it was stolen by very brave thieves as he trained for the world heavyweight title fight.
      Still, he had it replaced with a new model.

      In the past, Joshua has spoken before about how it’s the most lavish thing he owns.
      As for Tyson, we’ve seen him show off his taste in bizarre high-end fashion but he doesn’t tend to overly accessorise at all.
      However, he does have a vintage Rolex wrapped around his wrist that he still wears.
      When Anthony and Tyson sparred against each other in their amateur days, AJ revealed that Tyson offered anyone who could knock him out that same watch.
      “I didn’t even know who he was because I wasn’t a boxing fan at all, Anthony said back in 2015.

      “I just heard this big guy from Manchester had said that anyone who knocks him out can have his Rolex.
      “He said it in the Boxing News. So my coach said ‘if you want that Rolex, take it to him’ – so I went to war.
      “It wasn’t technical – he was holding on with one hand and trying to hit with the other, low blowing me and all sorts.
      “I’ll remind him of that promise. If we fight down the line I want the watch on the line again. I’ve only got a rubber G-Shock now and I want that Rolly.”

      HOMES
      He may be worth a mint, but Anthony doesn’t have a flash home.
      Instead, he bought his mum, Yeta Odusanya her council flat in north London for a mere £185,000 in 2013.

      When AJ trains in Sheffield he lives in a tiny two bedroom flat
      AJ did spend a portion of his hard-earned winnings on a rented property in a north London mansion while he was training for the Wladimir Klitschko fight.
      According to a report, the mansion near Lord’s Cricket Ground was worth £27 million.
      It belonged to South African diamond trader Walter Hennig, and cost AJ around £20,000 per month.
      Needless to say, after the fight was done AJ reportedly moved back into his mum’s council flat once again.
      And when he trains, he retreats to a humble two-bedroom flat in Sheffield he once showed off on YouTube.
      Not one to forget his gypsy roots, Tyson restored his 1958 Westmorland Star caravan, which rests on his £550k five-bedroom home in Morecambe, Lancashire.
      The home was regularly featured on their ITV documentary, Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King.

      He’s the celebrity of the area, regularly spotted running along the sea front, and he even threatened to run as an MP for Morecambe in 2015.
      During lockdown, Fury and his wife Paris have been staging their own workouts for fans live on Instagram.
      Tyson once said: “Whatever happens I won’t end up one of those boxers whose 20-room mansion gets repossessed and suddenly discovers his friends were just hangers-on who were sucking him dry.”

      CLOTHES
      Often seen modelling their gear on his Instagram, AJ has a huge sponsorship deal with Under Armour, who are second only to Nike when it comes to shifting sportswear.

      Anthony Joshua stays cool thanks to his sponsor Lynx
      He was first seen wearing the brand in the ring before fighting Eric Molina in 2016, alongside footballer Memphis Depay.
      AJ said: “It is a partnership that has been incredibly successful to date, the brand has helped me increase performance with custom products and new technologies.”
      Out of the ring, Anthony can often be seen looking suited and booted at award ceremonies, but given his focus on training he isn’t out much.
      He’s also sponsored by Lynx, so he’ll always stay fresh in the ring.
      This is why the British heavyweight champ is tipped to become the first billionaire boxer.
      Tyson, on the other hand, went full out when he became heavyweight champion.
      Before he was stripped of his belt after testing positive for drugs, Tyson flaunted his new-found wealth in some choice gear.

      One particular chinchilla fur coat looked straight off the set of Boogie Nights, and it set Fury back a cool £9,000.
      He’s possibly the only man who could pull it off, and we’re not going to argue with him either.
      The gentle giant also tried out a Louis Vuitton man-bag, and again who are we to argue that he didn’t pull it off.
      While ahead of a big fight, Fury always make sure he looks spot-on for a press conference.
      He’s taken to wearing elaborate bespoke suits by tailor Nav Salimian – some that even feature his own image.

      Being the consummate professional is important to AJ. That’s why he regularly says he doesn’t have time for girlfriends and is currently single.
      Although that didn’t stop him getting a lot of attention from the ladies at Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas one time in 2016.

      His ex was pole dancer, Nicole Osbourne and they have one son together called Joshua.
      In an interview in 2017, Joshua outlined his relationship plans.
      “My time training means there is not much time for girlfriends,” he revealed.
      “If people can ride with me for the next 10 to 12 years I would really appreciate it, but if they can’t foresee the future I’d rather they jump off the boat because I can’t stop for no one right now.”
      As for Tyson, he’s been with his childhood sweetheart Paris since they were both 15-years-old when they met at a mutual friend’s wedding.
      They have four children and Tyson has revealed he would love to have 10 kids.

      CHARITY
      Both Joshua and Fury do their bit for charity.
      Alongside StubHub, Joshua helped raise £10,000 for the Key4Life last year.
      And in 2018, he began working with anti-knife charity Steel Warriors to help tackle knife crime in London.
      “I like to give, for sure, to help people. That’s important. I want to invest because I like business,” he once revealed.
      In 2018, it was reported that Tyson donated his entire purse (£7million) to a charity helping the homeless and needy.
      He is an ambassador for the Frank Bruno Foundation, an organisation that exists to provide a safe environment with the aim to improve the mental wellbeing of participants who are facing or recovering from mental ill health.

      Roy Jones Jr turned down £33m deal to fight Mike Tyson at heavyweight, says former world champion Andre Ward

      by

      BOXING legend Roy Jones Jr reportedly turned down £33million to fight Mike Tyson back in 2003.
      The two stars will meet in November in an exhibition showdown as the pair prepare to climb back into the ring.

      However, Jones Jr could have been quids in if he had agreed to face Iron Mike 17 years ago.
      The four-weight world champ had just beaten John Ruiz to win the WBA heavyweight world title, while Tyson was coming to the end of his rollercoaster career.
      But according to ex-boxer Andre Ward, Jones Jr didn’t fancy going into battle with Tyson and instead pursued a scrap against Antonio Tarver, for a fraction of that money and back down at light-heavy.
      Speaking to to JRE Clips Ward said: There was a [Mike] Tyson fight on the table, and I believe I’m accurate when I say this it was somewhere around $40 million guaranteed.

      “There was an upside too. You stay at heavyweight, keep the weight on, and Tyson wasn’t quite Tyson at that time.
      “He was still dangerous, but he wasn’t quite Tyson. I think they were working towards it. What I heard was Roy wanted more money.
      “Roy somehow said, ‘No, the fight will be there down the road,’ and put his attention to Antonio Tarver, and the rest is history.
      “I wanted to see him fight Tyson and ride off into the sunset. One more and you’re out.

      “Roy could have had a full career, and rode off into the sunset, hunting and fishing, doing whatever he does, and still not been fundamentally sound.”

      Tyson had another two fights, both losses including the shock TKO defeat to Brit Danny Williams in 2004.
      Iron Mike retired after he was pulled out against Kevin McBride a year later.
      Jones, meanwhile, struggled to let go of the sport he loved, and was boxing right up until 2018 and finished on 75 fights, 66 wins and nine defeats.
      Now Tyson and Jones Jr will finally meet on November 28 after postponing their original planned clash on September 12.
