      When speaking about Tyson helping him out in camp, Ngannou told The Mail: “Having Mike Tyson present just makes you realise what is happening.

      “It makes me think ‘Oh man, this is serious, very very serious. It doesn’t get more serious than this’.
      “That alone brings you a lot of motivation. Even when you’re tired, even when you’re done for the day, I’m like ‘Man one more. I want to do one more’.
      “I’m like ‘I just want to be like that man’. So all that stuff, has helped me mentally already.
      “Then of course, there is the technical aspect that he is bringing too.
      “We all know how technical Mike Tyson was so obviously having his tips and hearing from him is very helpful for me.
      “I won’t have his boxing style but I can definitely learn a lot from him.”
      Meanwhile, fight fans were left furious earlier this week after learning the pay-per-view price for Fury vs Ngannou.

      So it set up a blockbuster rematch on the undercard of KSI’s eventual loss to Tommy Fury in Manchester.
      Deen got off to a quick start by dropping Walid – real name Walid Muhsein – and racing to an early lead.
      But disaster almost struck in round three after the American missed with a wild one-two combination.
      Tellingly, Deen quickly switched to the southpaw stance and only threw with his lead right hand.

      Recounting the incident, he posted on X, formerly Twitter: “When my shoulder dislocated midfight! Switched southpaw.”
      Deen went onto recover but had to survive a late fifth and final round onslaught by Walid.
      The Misfits lightweight champion subsequently revealed he also suffered a broken right hand as he shared an X-ray photo.
      Deen said: “Broke my hand on his face lol… be back soon ya’ll.”

      Deen said: “Gervonta Davis, if you wanna scrap, if you wanna run it, let’s get it.
      “Let’s make this bread because ain’t nobody else in the influencer scene can f*** with me.
      “Or if Ryan wanna run it. Ryan Garcia, anybody can get it.”

      DAZN chief calls for KSI vs Tommy Fury fight result to be overturned and demands rematch after ‘robbery’

      KSI fumed after the result was read out and revealed plans to APPEAL his first ever defeat.
      Even DAZN CEO Joe Markowski was in agreement and doubled down on his view online.
      He posted on X, formerly Twitter: “Stand by this. @KSI was robbed. Appeal and rematch please.”
      Markowski still has much to smile about after the Misfits Boxing event reportedly sold 1.3MILLION pay-per-views, according to Happy Punch.

      But much of the paying public would have been left underwhelmed by the bout, which was filled with ugly clinching and grabbing.
      Fury, 24, was even docked a point in round two for punches to the back of the head during one of many tie ups between the two.
      So it raised eyebrows when he was awarded a majority-decision win after two judges scored it 56-57 in his favour and another 57-57 a draw.
      But it was later revealed official Rafael James had actually sided 56-57 for Fury, with his win since being changed to a unanimous-decision.

      KSI, 30, was left raging after the loss and said: “That is a robbery. How many jabs did you land?
      “Look at your face, look at your eyes. I’m the YouTuber, you are the boxer so you have to win?
      “He is the man who is one who is supposed to be the pro boxer. He hit me on the back of the head over and over. It is outrageous.
      “I want to appeal. I need to see it again. I felt like I won that.”

      by

      And it was Fury who ultimately walked away with a controversial points win, handing KSI a first ever loss.
      The action itself proved to be few and far between leaving the paying public underwhelmed.
      But still the DAZN PPV event sold a stunning 1.3MILLION box office buys, according to Happy Punch.
      Priced at £19.99 in the UK, it means just over £25MILLION was made in PPV receipts alone.

      Promoters predicted it would actually surpass the British record PPV – believed to be 1.8m when Anthony Joshua beat Joseph Parker in 2018.
      Joshua’s last two losses – both to Oleksandr Usyk – reportedly sold 1.2m PPVs each.
      KSI, 30, is understood to have walked away with around £10m for the fight, with Fury, 24, making under half that.
      But he plans to APPEAL the loss having believed he did enough to win the scrappy six-rounder.

      Fury was docked a point in round two for punches to the back of the head but was handed a majority-decision on the night.
      But it was later overturned to a unanimous result after it was revealed one judge totted up his total of 57-57 wrong and instead scored in 56-57.
      After defeat, KSI raged: “That is a robbery. How many jabs did you land?
      “Look at your face, look at your eyes. I’m the YouTuber, you are the boxer so you have to win?

      And it was Fury who controversially walked away with a majority-decision win, which was later overturned to a unanimous.
      It raised eyebrows after the 2019 Love Islander was docked a point in round two for punches to the back of the head.
      The scrappy six-rounder was filled with ugly clinching and grabbing – a tactic actually encouraged by KSI’s head trainer Alexis Demetriades.
      Cameras captured the moment Demetriades told KSI, 30, to get up close with Fury, 24, and force his opponent into another penalty.

      He said: “You’re up on all the rounds and he’s got a point off.
      “Stay in the clinch with him and make him, he’s gonna hit you in the back of the head again and it will be another point off.”
      The clip was shared by KSI’s rival Jake Paul and garnered a negative response from fans.
      One said: “So KSI intentionally wanted to get hit at the back of the head.”

      Another added: “His coaches really lost him that fight.”
      After the dull affair, two judges scored the fight 57-56 in favour Fury while another totted up his total to 57-57 even. 
      But upon the release of the official scorecards, it was revealed official Rafael James had actually sided 56-57.
      The result has since been changed to a unanimous-decision win for Fury, which will only anger KSI after he revealed plans to APPEAL the loss.
      He raged: “That is a robbery. How many jabs did you land?

      Internet sensation Logan Paul also featured on the Misfits Boxing card as he beat MMA star Dillon Danis by disqualification.
      After the event, former world champion boxer Froch, 46, called on Misfits Boxing to come to an end, labelling the concept “absolute crap”.
      Now IBF bantamweight champion Bridges, 37, has had her say as she directly hit back at Froch’s comments on social media.
      Responding to a tweet quoting Froch’s words, she said: “But yet y’all keep watching it, talking about it, promoting it, sharing it, good or bad this will keep it growing and making money…
      READ MORE ON MISFITS BOXING
      “I feel like there is a lot more boxing casual fans than purists… and the casuals barely know the difference between good and bad boxing.
      “Look at how many people thought McGregor could beat Mayweather…. Like the fact people actually debated that shows purists and traditional boxing fans are the minority.
      “NOT TO MENTION these events are PACKED from the first fight.. and it ain’t purists filling those arenas out….u never see that in pro boxing shows, NEVER. So keep whinging and promoting it 😂.”
      She continued: “You all complain like influencer boxing IS pro boxing… it’s not lol, it’s a circus and it’s entertainment just like WWE.

      “Stop comparing and expecting it to be like pro boxing, that’s like asking MMA to be like pro boxing 🤦🏼‍♀️. Just let the guys make their money, they ain’t fighting for WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO world titles or taking anyones money…
      “They making money cos they are famous in their own right… got nothing to do with boxing skill… people need to chill tf out. It’s embarassing watching the boxing world complain.”
      One fan then pulled Bridges up on her comment about McGregor – who was stopped by Mayweather in the 10th round of their crossover bout in 2017.
      McGregor and Bridges have been pictured together in recent months, with the boxing world champion helping to promote his Forged Irish Stout brand.
      The fan said: “That’s the forged stout sponsorship gone 😂😂😂.”
      To which Bridges replied: “Not at all, the guy made bank with that fight, he’s smart.
      “He ain’t a soft c**k like half the people on here and gonna cry about not being a favourite to beat one of the all time greatest boxers…”
      Bridges then finished her rant by replying to another of her followers who asked what Fury is gaining from being a part of YouTuber boxing.

      Bridges said: “Cash. Money. In the end of the day when u retire, u want to have money for u and ur family.
      “Pretty sure he and his family know he will never be a world champion so he might as well capitalise in influencer boxing.” More
