That’s my first and biggest Olympic memory — until I do it!“When I started, the man everyone looked up to was Anthony Joshua.READ MORE IN BOXING“From then it was in my head that I need to win a medal, because this is what GB Boxing has been doing time and time again and proved over and over again.“So it’s only right for me to go out there and do that. To listen to the coaches and go up there and perform and just have full belief and trust in them and myself.”AJ was crowned king of the super-heavyweights at London 2012 before turning pro and twice becoming world champion.The Watford star, 34, now has a third world crown in his sights following his demolition of former MMA fighter Francis Ngannou in two rounds in Saudi Arabia a fortnight ago.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSAnthon Joshua’s London 2012 gold inspired Orie to take boxing seriouslyCredit: News Group Newspapers LtdOrie turns 27 on May 31, two months before the Paris Games start.He added: “I’ve spoken to AJ a few times about what it’s like to step into that Olympic arena.Anthony Joshua jumps up Ring Magazine heavyweight rankings after Ngannou KO but ‘crazy’ Fury laughs off standings“It’s great because you can have this kind of conversation with him outside the ring.“I’m so lucky to be able to speak to him about these things. He has given me advice, both boxing advice and things for outside the ring.“I just couldn’t have a better role model to look up to.”Orie’s mum is Russian, his dad Nigerian and he has a Ukrainian grandmother and cousins.He came to England at the age of seven, settling in Wolverhampton, has an economics degree from Birmingham’s Aston University and reads books on finance in his spare time.The ongoing situation in Ukraine remains “devastating and horrible” for Orie but his heart, now, is very much red, white and blue.He added: “If I can win that gold medal for Team GB, it will mean absolutely everything.“It will be a way for me to say, ‘Thank you’ to the nation, for giving me all the opportunities I’ve had so far.Orie is hoping to do Team GB proud in ParisCredit: Getty“I’m just putting it all together and making the most out of it.“It will be my job in Paris to inspire the next generation, just like I was inspired as a young adult.“My boxing has 100 per cent evolved over the past couple of years, since I stepped inside the Sheffield GB boxing camp.“Every tournament I get into, I feel within me that I’m getting better and better.“Not just physically and in terms of strength, because that’s just natural.“But in being able to cope with pressure, expectations, being able to cope with the level of opposition and just go out there and win.“In terms of progression, it’s second to none. I’m feeling lucky the last couple of years now.READ MORE SUN STORIES“So this is the plan — Paris Olympics and then turn professional.

      by

      TYSON FURY has hinted at a tactic change for his fight with Oleksandr Usyk by giving fans a glimpse into his training.The pair of unbeaten champions were due to collide in the heavyweight division’s first four-belt unification bout on February 17.Tyson Fury in training to fight Oleksandr UsykCredit: Instagram @tysonfuryBut just two weeks before the Saudi showdown, the Gypsy King suffered a horror cut in sparring that forced the bout to be rescheduled to May 18.Now Fury – who watched Manchester United beat Liverpool at Old Trafford – is officially back up and running by restarting his training camp. Fury shared a clip from his pad session with Bob Howard – who has cornered his brothers Tommy and Roman in the past.And interestingly, he turns left and captioned the short clip: “Southpaw GK.” READ MORE IN BOXINGFury has often switch-hit during his career, once fighting Martin Rogan in 2012 purely as a southpaw just to prove he could do it. The WBC champion controversially beat MMA star Francis Ngannou, 37, in his last bout in October despite being floored. And he recently watched from ringside in Riyadh as Anthony Joshua, 34, then knocked out Ngannou in two rounds. But Fury – set for a two-fight series with the man who twice beat AJ in Usyk – has refused to even entertain the all-Brit bout for the time being. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSHe told The Stomping Ground: “Me and Usyk is the biggest fight of the century, for all the belts first time it’s ever happened, six, seven belts on the line. “He’s undefeated, I’m undefeated, and there’s nothing bigger than that. No fight’s bigger than that. Fans say ‘there’s no way Oleksandr Usyk beats this version of Tyson Fury’ as Gypsy King trains on day one of fight camp”I know that people are trying to get their foot in the door to try and get a fight with me but when I beat Usyk I’ll be the undisputed. “And then I’ll fight him again and I understand that one of the belts are going to be taken of us again straight away. “So, I’ll have two fights with Oleksandr Usyk this year. Let’s not forget, Usyk beat the other fella twice in a row. “That puts him way down the ladder, nowhere near, you understand? So me and Usyk is the fight?” More
