      And journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has claimed an extension “won’t happen”.
      He went on to add: “There are no negotiations ongoing, there have never been. So they’ll part company at the end of the deal in June.”

      “I regretted leaving Juventus after just three years.
      “I’d like to try an experience in Roma or Napoli one day, but I usually prefer to join at the end of the season.” More

      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…

      “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.

      Bridges was quick to clarify her comments about friend Conor McGregorCredit: Instagram @ebaniebridges
      “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

      The Problem Child has not been in the ring since beating Nate Diaz in May, having tasted defeat for the first time at the hands of Fury before that.
      Now, he has revealed he is eyeing December 15 for his highly-anticipated return.
      A potential opponent is yet to be named, but Paul declared he would be looking to face a professional boxer as he continues his unlikely quest to become a world champion.
      Ahead of last Saturday’s fights, Paul said: “I’m looking at some pro boxers.

      “Because I want to take this more traditional boxing route of moving up into the rankings, fighting professionals and taking the route to become world champion like a prospect of my calibre. 
      “So we’re looking at some pro boxers and they’re not going to be big names by any means.”
      Asked if that comes with risk, Paul said: “I want to be world champion, though. And there’s risk, for sure. 
      “But, for me I want to challenge myself, continue to grow in this sport and get to the top of it, from a skill level, 100 per cent that’s my goal.”

      It will be his ninth professional bout, having won seven and lost one so far.
      That loss to Fury was the only time Paul had come up against a boxing professional, having previously taken on a host of fellow social media stars and MMA fighters.
      The 26-year-old told MVP: “Eight fights in the boxing game and I’m already its biggest name.
      “I’ve proved that I can headline the biggest global events and defy the odds. PPV after PPV after PPV, and I’m just getting started.
      “My mission is to be a world champion and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get there. December 15th is the next step on my journey, and I promise you’re not going to want to miss it.”
      After the fight, Fury claimed he was “done” with crossover events, before immediately calling out the Paul brothers.
      He said: “I’m done with the bulls***. F*** the bulls****, on to the next challenge. Any of the Pauls want it I welcome it with open arms.” More

      He stood to win £1.1million if the WWE star beat Danis via knockout in the co-main event of Misfits Boxing’s Prime card.

      The controversial ending to the fight has instead seen him cash in his incredible bet.
      As the final bell rang, Danis attempted to choke out Paul, prompting a brawl to break out in the ring and the Bellator fighter was disqualified.

      Disqualifications count as technical knockouts, meaning Drake was paid out on his massive bet.
      His win saw him avoid his alleged “curse” when it comes to betting on major sporting events.
      Fans have previously noticed that the musician has lost a series of huge bets, most recently on UFC 293 last month.

      A range of reports state that he appeared to be on the front foot for most of the bout, which was filmed by an onlooker and had a boxing referee plus safety mats on the ground.
      However, around 90 seconds into it, he was knocked out cold when his rival landed a straight punch to the chin that sent him tumbling backwards.
      He was quickly tended to by first-aiders in Jijoca de Jericoacoara, north-eastern Brazil, and then regained consciousness.
      But his condition reportedly quickly worsened as he was rushed to an emergency care unit a short while after the fight’s finish.

      Local media have claimed that the brutal punch left him with cranioencephalic trauma.
      The following day after the blow, on October 8, he was transferred in critical condition to a hospital in nearby Sobral.
      Now they have announced that he sadly passed away on Tuesday 10 October.
      A hospital statement read: “After conducting examinations, the patient was declared brain dead, which also led to a cardiac arrest.”

      Away from his aspiring boxing ambitions, Joao Victor was employed as an HR manager at a hotel on the coast and lived in Jijoca de Jericoacoara with his family.
      His funeral took place last Thursday as his sister, Lilia Maria da Penha, told local media: “These fights are an absolute absurdity. I don’t even know what to say, especially after the tragedy with my brother.
      “We didn’t want him to participate. We were all very concerned; my mother asked him not to participate, sensing that something more serious could happen.
      “We talked to him, but he asked for our support, and then we had no choice.
      “The winner of the fight would get BRL 100 (GBP £16), and the loser would receive BRL 50 (GBP £8). My brother’s life was lost over this amount, unfortunately.”
      Local police are said to be investigating the case. More

      The fight will be shown live on TNT Sports pay-per-view and cost £21.95.
      Fight fans are not happy with many suggesting the clash is not worth the outlay – mainly due to the expectation Fury will dominate MMA legend Ngannou, who is making his boxing debut.
      In response to the news one fan said: “£21.95 too much.”
      Another added: “Won’t be watching.”

      A third wrote: “Who’s buying? Fury ends this when he wants.”
      And another commented: “And here’s me thinking KSI losing to Tommy Fury was a robbery.”
      Fury, 35, is wary of the threat posed by Ngannou, who has been trained by Mike Tyson.
      Ngannou, 37, will try to do in ten rounds what 31 of Fury’s career opponents have failed to do and put him out for the count.

      He added: “Having that punch is pretty interesting but it doesn’t have any value if it doesn’t land on the target.
      “So we have to work on being more precise with his punch, which he pretty much is.
      “He doesn’t need much, he’s a pretty rounded individual.” More
