      Anthony Joshua reveals he’s watching Tyson Fury Netflix doc for insight on how to beat Gypsy King

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has watched Tyson Fury’s Netflix documentary – and is using it to study ways of beating him. The At Home with The Furys six-partner went to No1 in the UK and gave fans an inside look into the heavyweight champion’s life.

      In an interview with Men’s Health, Fury’s rival AJ was asked if he had watched the docuseries.
      And Joshua revealed: “Yes. I am on episode six. I’m enjoying it.”
      AJ’s name comes up regularly in the show as at the time of filming the British rivals were going back and forth in fight negotiations.
      One scene shows Fury on a day out with his sons when a member of the public tells him Joshua would beat him.

      Responding to the funny interaction, Joshua said: “I’ll need to get him some free tickets. I thought Fury handled it really well.”
      The two-time champ admitted he would be open to doing in a similar-style show.
      But he would not have son JJ feature as much as Fury’s six children did throughout the episodes.
      He said: “Maybe I would focus more on the business, our values, what we will do after boxing.

      “What is the gain for family? A minute of fame? If one of them had a strategy where they wanted to showcase themselves for some reason then yes, a great opportunity, but they don’t.”
      Joshua, 34, and Fury, 35, have frustratingly failed in the past to ever get their blockbuster showdown over the line.
      And AJ admitted his career would not be complete if he does not share the ring with the Gypsy King or Deontay Wilder, 37.
      He said: “If I don’t fight Fury or Deontay Wilder, one of those two, then yes.
      “But I am not waiting around till I’m 40. I can’t drag my career out waiting.
      “In between waiting, I will have to do more fights, more training camps, more pressure.”

      The social media personality secured a victory over Ms. Danielka and gave viewers more than they expected when the scorecards were read out as she pulled up her top.
      However, that led to her being banned from boxing and thus she hasn’t been seen in the ring since.
      And with bikini season done for the most part, combined with her current ban, Daniella has to find other ways to get attention.
      She previously showed off some “cringe” dance moves while wearing a revealing outfit.

      This time she posed as famous DC Comic character Harley Quinn for her 273,000 TikTok followers.
      Daniella is no stranger to splitting opinions as she was previously slammed by boxing promoter Eddie Hearn.
      Hearn said: “I think that, if I start preaching people will start moaning at me. But you always ask for my opinion and my opinion is that I hate it.
      “We’ve worked so hard for women in boxing to be respected for their ability, for their merits and for their hard work. One thing we must understand is that it is not boxing.

      “Misfits and Kingpyn needs to be booted so far away from professional boxing and we need to disassociate ourselves with what it is.”
      However, she was later supported by boxer Ebanie Bridges for her recent ring antics.
      For now, she posts a series of glam pics across her various social media channels.

      “At the time it will be the worst thing ever, but then I think when I come out, I will say I wish I had done more.”

      He said: “I hope so, for two grand.
      “I hate creepy-crawlies. I hope there are no spiders. When I was training in Vegas, there was a lizard in my room. I killed it.
      “Two days later, there was a scorpion on the curtain. I don’t want any of that.”
      Joshua, 34, most recently knocked out Robert Helenius, 37, in August.
      And now his promoter Eddie Hearn is looking for AJ to return in December or January after talks with Deontay Wilder collapsed.

      Tyson Fury explains why Francis Ngannou is a ‘much more dangerous’ fight than Oleksandr Usyk

      by

      TYSON FURY has insisted Francis Ngannou is a “much more dangerous” opponent than Oleksandr Usyk. Fury, 35, and Usyk, 36, have signed an agreement to meet in the heavyweight division’s first ever four-belt unification bout.

      But first, the WBC champion returns next Saturday in a crossover clash against ex-UFC star Ngannou.
      And despite the Cameroonian powerhouse, 37, making his boxing debut, Fury argued he will be tougher than unbeaten Usyk.
      Fury told ESPN: “A lot of people are on about this undisputed fight, fantastic.
      “But I have a much more dangerous person to deal with next, I believe.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “Francis is a bigger man, stronger, more powerful and has knockout capability. Usyk, he doesn’t really do much damage to people he hits.”
      Fury has flirted with retirement in the past but has made several U-turns on when he will call it a day.
      And having already lined up his next pair of bouts, the Gypsy King now hopes it will be just two of many.
      Fury said: “I’m looking to sign another ten-fight deal after this, so I don’t know, I’m going to put my feelers out there and see who I can get the best deal off for another ten fights.

      Eddie Hearn ‘reveals’ staggering Tommy Fury earnings for YouTube fights despite Love Island star being ‘terrible’

      by

      EDDIE HEARN claimed Tommy Fury is earning millions to fight YouTube stars – despite being “terrible.” Fury, 24, beat social media sensation-turned boxer Jake Paul, 26, in their Saudi Arabia grudge match in February.

      And following the tight split-decision win, he was challenged by Paul’s bitter enemy KSI, 30.
      Again Fury walked away with a razor thin victory on the scorecards – and, according to Hearn, another healthy payday in the process.
      Speaking on The Overlap, he said: “Tommy is a professional boxer, but he’s terrible. He’s absolutely swam the channel.
      “He’s gone from making £40,000/£50,000 per fight to making £4million/£5m to fight a YouTuber.”

      And Hearn defended the crossover clashes amid ridicule from boxing purists – having called Fury “terrible” just days after his KSI victory.
      He said: “The ones that understand the bigger picture and the marketing side of sport get it.

      “I don’t agree with the whole, it’s not fair, it’s taking opportunities away from boxers. I like to say, put it over there.

      Fury, 35, returns next Saturday in a crossover clash against ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou, 37, in Saudi Arabia.
      And he already has a signed agreement to face Oleksandr Usyk, 36, in an undisputed title decider afterwards.
      But Fury hopes that is just the start of another long stint in the sport.
      He told ESPN: “I’m looking to sign another ten-fight deal after this, so I don’t know, I’m going to put my feelers out there and see who I can get the best deal off for another ten fights.

      But he fell into depression soon after and relinquished his belts amid a battle with alcohol and substance abuse.
      It sparked one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history as, in 2018, he would return and win the world title two years later.
      But Fury has spoken out about struggling without boxing being in his life – and wife Paris believes it could keep him in the ring into his 40s.
      She told Fabulous Magazine: “Deep down I can imagine him going until he’s 40.
      “I don’t want him to, but he’s still young and at the top of his game, but he has to stop eventually.
      “He needs to find what he likes and put his passion into something else.
      “I don’t know what that is, because he’s spoken about opening a boxing gym and helping the younger generation.
      “But he needs something that will fill the void of 100,000 people cheering his name.”

      Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou is a fake fight which has cost champ credibility, only the most gullible fans will watch

      by

      IT’S very difficult to take the desert dust-up between Tyson Fury and MMA star Francis Ngannou seriously. Because the Rumble in Riyadh a week tomorrow is a fake fight and simply a giant version of the Letdown in Las Vegas from seven years ago.

      That was when gullible punters on both sides of the Atlantic were led to believe Floyd Mayweather Jr – the greatest boxer of his generation – was in mortal danger when faced with Ireland’s Cage King, Conor McGregor.
      They fell head-over-heels for the outrageous hype, which led to that mismatch becoming  boxing’s second-biggest pay-per-view event.
      It became known as The Money fight. Floyd lined his pockets with £230million while Conor had to put up with his paltry share of £105m.
      Neither could wipe the smile off their faces for months.

      Nearly a million British fans paid £19.95 to watch it, and what did they get for their investment?
      Seeing Mayweather carry the  outclassed McGregor before putting an end to the bombastic Irishman and the dreary proceedings in the tenth.
      The publicity machine in Saudi will be going full-blast next week attempting to persuade us WBC world heavyweight champion Fury is under serious threat. They certainly have a hard sell.
      When it comes to the Queensberry rules, 37- year-old Ngannou is an unknown non-entity who has been out of his cage for two years. In fact, he’s been in action only twice in the last 3½ years.

      Mike Tyson has been drafted in to show him the rudiments of the noble art. He is doing his bit, claiming that the Cameroonian boasts fearsome punching  power that can flatten Fury.
      It’s just not feasible that Ngannou is going to outsmart master boxer Fury, or do what Deontay Wilder couldn’t do in three fights and KO him.
      But then the one-time Baddest Man on the Planet admitted that if Ngannou should win, it would be a bigger upset than when Buster Douglas knocked him out and took his world title in Tokyo 33 years ago.
      Fury’s team are not in the least bit fearful he  is going to come to any harm because they have already announced he and Oleksandr Usyk, 36, have signed to have their unification fight in December or January.
      Fury is by far Britain’s most popular champion but I’m afraid he has lost a lot of credibility by becoming involved in what is nothing more than a way to make easy money.
      Some fans feel he is demeaning his world championship status and it will be interesting – with the Mayweather-McGregor charade in mind – how many will be suckered into paying TNT £21.95 to watch.

      Even Muhammad Ali and George Foreman were involved in freak shows in the 1970s – though it was after they’d lost their world titles.
      Foreman took part in an unsavoury stunt when he took on five much smaller men in one night in Toronto and beat them all – three by KO.

      Whether it turns out  to be an Arabian night to remember, or one to forget, Fury was made a Saudi offer he couldn’t refuse – a crazy £34.5m to nobble Ngannou.
