    CARL FROCH has backed friend Tony Bellew to thrive in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, but admits he will need to “calm down” in the jungle.Former world champion boxer Bellew, 40, is set to enter the camp on Thursday evening’s show as a latecomer despite the passing of his nan on the eve of the programme, which started on Sunday.

    And legendary super-middleweight Froch, 46, who revealed earlier this year that Bellew was the only man to ever knock him down in sparring, feels he will take to the reality show like a duck to water.
    However, he was also quick to stress the Evertonian will need to control his temper.
    Speaking to AceOdds, Froch said: “I think he’ll do really well. I think he’s a good guy, Tony.
    “He stands by his principles. He says some things that I agree with. He says them in an intense way and puts himself out there.

    “He beat my best mate David Haye and I’ve still not fell out with him because he helped me sparring for some big world title fights. I think he’ll do well. He’s a man of principle but he’s fair. He’s a nice guy.
    “He comes across as this angry guy and he’s got to calm down and that but he’s a nice guy. He’s got four kids, a loving wife, he’s a family man, and he’s a real avid Everton fan.
    “He’ll take part in the challenges. He’ll help out with the team. If anybody says anything you don’t agree with, he’ll tell them or hopefully he will unless he’s playing the game a little bit.”
    Bellew’s career-high came in 2016 when he beat Ilunga Makabu to win the WBC Cruiserweight title at Goodison Park.

    He then upset David Haye on two occasions, overcoming the odds to stop him in 2017 before he repeated the feat the following year.
    He hung up his gloves in 2018 after losing to Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed cruiserweight crown.
    Since then, he has featured as a pundit on DAZN’s boxing coverage, as well as guest appearing on shows such as A League Of Their Own.
    And his outspoken personality looks set to make him a watchable character in the jungle.
    But while Froch heaped praise on Bellew, he also insists he has no interest in any form of TV.
    He added: “There’s some big household names in there [I’m A Celeb]. I don’t know f***ing anyone.
    “I don’t watch TV. I don’t watch any television that’s on the like legacy media, I don’t look at it.” More

    Daniel Dubois brutally warned his career could be OVER aged just 26 if he loses to disgraced Jarrell Miller

    Now the 26-year-old British heavyweight hopeful is set to return to the ring on December 23 on a bumper night of boxing in Saudi Arabia.
    Dubois has signed to fight the disgraced American Miller – who is most-famous on these shores for failing anti-doping tests ahead of his then cancelled scrap with Anthony Joshua.
    The Brooklyn trash-talker, who has won all three fights since his ban, is considered to be the rank outsider with most bookies.
    However, Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn believes the man known as ‘Big Baby’ will provide a much bigger test than many anticipate.

    He told Boxing Social: “I think it’s a very tough fight.
    “I mean if Jarrell Miller’s got a good chin it’s a very tough fight for Daniel Dubois, because I feel like Jarrell puts a lot of pressure on, he’s got a good engine, I think he’ll try and wear Dubois down but he’s gonna have to come through some heavy artillery on the way.”
    Miller, 35, has vowed to knockout Dubois – and Hearn says that the Englishman’s career could be finished if that scenario unfolds.
    He added: “I think if Daniel Dubois loses his career might be over.

    “I would’ve liked to see him brought back with a couple of wins, because I think he’s a really good fighter.
    “Against Usyk, he did well. He didn’t win many rounds, but the low blow controversy etcetera.
    “So we’ll see, but I think it’s a very tough fight Dubois and if he loses he’s not in a great position at all.” More

    Derek Chisora reveals why Anthony Joshua can become three-time heavyweight champ ahead of clash with Wallin

    AJ faces Wallin on December 23
    AJ will be back in the ring against Otto Wallin on December 23 in Saudi Arabia.
    If he gets the win that most people expect it will put him No2 with the IBF.
    That belt is expected to become vacant following Usyk’s undisputed fight with Tyson Fury in February, assuming it goes ahead.
    The sanctioning body has made it clear that the top two challengers – Filip Hrgovic and Joshua in this scenario – will fight for the vacant title.

    AJ, who has already beaten Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius in his latest bid for glory, could then have the option for taking on one of those for the title.
    That could mean possibly delaying a long-awaited clash with Deontay Wilder.
    He fights on the same card as AJ in December, taking on Kiwi Joseph Parker.
    A win there would pave the way for a blockbuster clash between the American and fellow former champ AJ.

    And Matchroom boss Hearn is not convinced that it will not go the distance.
    Speaking to Fight Hub TV about the blockbuster night in Saudi Arabia, the 44-year-old revealed that he predicts one of the fighters to get stopped.
    He said: “It’s a great fight. Miller will either get stopped or he’ll stop Daniel Dubois.
    “If he gets stopped that’s the end of Jarrell Miller, if he stops Daniel Dubois he’s right back in the mix.”

    Miller approaches the December 23 fight off the back of a sixth-round stoppage win against Lucas Browne.
    Should the 35-year-old defeat Dubois, Hearn expects him to call out Joshua for another proposed bout.
    The two were due to face off in June 2019, but the fight was cancelled after Miller tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs.
    Andy Ruiz Jr then stepped in as a last-minute opponent and shocked the world by winning via technical knockout.

    Hearn admits there is still animosity between AJ and Miller over four years later.
    He said: “Joshua wants to smash him up. Don’t forget the beef that those two had in New York, then the round table which nobody has seen yet but I’m sure it will get released one day soon. There is history there.
    “We know why the fight didn’t happen and there are a lot of people from our side that aren’t happy with what he did.
    “The fight has never come back round because I felt like he didn’t deserve it. But sometimes time is a good healer and if he can beat Daniel Dubois then I’m sure he’ll scream and shout in that ring and say ‘I want AJ’ and then commercially that fight becomes big.
    “Good luck to Jarrell, I don’t have dislike or hatred towards him, I don’t like what I saw but good luck.” More
