      “He’s just a foreign person who doesn’t speak good English, so you can’t really sell him.
      “I am looking for probably another American. Probably looking to fight Jon Jones in a boxing fight.”

      “Having lost to a man who was named after him.
      “I think that it’s sad and I think that he should be in my corner, not the opposing corner.

      KSI gives prediction for Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua and fears fighter would turn ‘evil’ and ‘ANNIHILATE’ rival

      by

      KSI reckons Anthony Joshua will bring out a previously unseen “evil” side if a fight with Tyson Fury ever comes to fruition.The mouthwatering Battle of Britain – which has been on the cards for over six years – has been close to materialising twice but failed to get over the line.

      Nevertheless, British boxing fans continue to debate the winner of the heavyweight showdown.
      But YouTuber turned boxer KSI only sees one outcome for the domestic dust-up: an emphatic Joshua KO.
      The social media sensation told Misfits Boxing: “There is a lot of bad blood with that.
      “”Honestly I think that fight would bring out the scary, evil AJ that is just spiteful.

      “He’d come in like, ‘Finally, I get to put my hands on you’ and just annihilate, dominate.
      “I think it would be a good fight, Fury would try and do his thing, keep him at range to try and press him but I see AJ edging it.”
      AJ promoter Eddie Hearn shares that opinion, telling talkSPORT: “Call me deluded, but he’s going to knock out Deontay Wilder and then he’s going to knock out Tyson Fury.
      “Then he’s going to become undisputed heavyweight world champion and then we’re going to sail off into the sunset.

      “I see it, have the vision for that, let’s make it happen.”
      Joshua, 33, was seemingly set to be back in action in January in a long-overdue grudge match against former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.
      The financial side of deal has been agreed, although Hearn is currently without a site for the gunfight.
      AJ is currently on a two-fight win streak following a decision and knockout wins over Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius respectively.
      WBC heavyweight king Fury, meanwhile, is gearing up to throw down with former UFC champ Francis Ngannou in a Saudi showdown on October 28.
      An undisputed fight with former pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk could be in the offing for the Gyspy King, although he’s seemingly not interested in unifying the division. More

      Danis has accused the YouTuber-turned-boxer of taking performance-enhancing drugs – despite him never failing a pre-fight drugs test.
      He recently told controversial streamer Adin Ross: “He’s on a piece. Bro, have you ever seen him?
      “He’s f***ing juicy as t***s. I was asking him, ‘Where do you inject it?
      “Your a** or your back?”

      Paul has taken exception to the notion of being on PEDS, saying on his podcast: “I’m not on steroids, I’m not on steroids.
      “I don’t know how many times I need to clarify this.”
      Danis – a long-time pal of UFC superstar Conor McGregor – recently revealed that he and Paul haven’t been tested ahead of their October 14 cash.
      Paul, 28, insists he’s more than happy to be drug tested – so long as Danis submits to an STD test.

      He said: “I don’t know why we aren’t doing VADA testing.
      CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS
      “The conversation was never had with me. I’m more than happy to do it
      “I do have one request: Dillon laughed at me at the face-to-face. But if I do a drug test, I want him to do an STD test.
      “I’m just curious to see what’s going to show up. He laughed at me, he played it off.
      “He wasn’t interested in doing that. I wonder why. Watcha got?”
      Paul is no stranger to denying PED use, saying during an appearance on comedian Andrew Schulz’s podcast: “Shut the f*** up – guys.
      “I think honestly it’s because I drink Prime. The conversation [about drug testing] never happened.

      “I said ‘Dillon, you want to do your f***ing USADA testing, I’ll do an USADA test.
      “‘You take an STD test and the results are public.'”
      The build-up to the pair’s fight has been dominated by Danis’ relentless targeting of Paul’s fiancee Nina Agdal on social media.
      The Bellator star has repeatedly shared photos of the Danish model with her former partners.

      Agdal was recently granted a restraining order against the New Yorker after claiming his targeted campaign caused her to suffer ” humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational harm”.
      In her lawsuit, she also accused Danis of sharing hacked content from her Snapchat and a private photograph from a “romantic encounter” with a former partner ten years ago. More

      Tyson Fury downplays Mike Tyson training Francis Ngannou saying: Everyone has a plan until they’re punched in the face

      by

      TYSON FURY is unfazed by Mike Tyson training Francis Ngannou for their upcoming clash in Saudi Arabia.WBC heavyweight champion Fury, 35, will step inside the ropes to take on former UFC heavyweight king Ngannou, 37, in a boxing contest on October 28.

      Fury is an overwhelming favourite heading into the fight given he is unbeaten in 34 professional boxing bouts and Ngannou is making his debut.
      In a bid to give himself the best possible chance, Ngannou has enlisted the help of legendary heavyweight champion Tyson, 57.
      Fury’s father John named him after Tyson in the hope he would follow in his footsteps by becoming a world champion.
      Yet while Fury has a great deal of respect for Tyson – who he first met in 2016 – he does not believe his involvement in Ngannou’s training camp will have any impact on the outcome of the fight.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      And he used one of Tyson’s most iconic phrases – ‘Everyone’s got a plan until they get punched in the face’ – to make his point.
      Speaking to The Mail, Fury said: “Mike Tyson is a great guy. He is a living legend in sport.
      “He is a living legend in boxing. He’s got a lot of knowledge on boxing, I think he will teach Francis a lot.
      “But, I don’t [think] it would matter who trained Ngannou for this fight.

      “He’s got to fight Tyson Fury and I’m not an easy opponent for anybody no matter who is training you.
      “So yeah, everyone’s got a plan until they get punched in the face. That’s exactly what’s going to happen to Ngannou when I fight him.
      “He’s going to have this big plan and then he’s going to get punched in the face and it’s going to go all out the window.”
      Ngannou last fought in January 2022 when he made the last defence of his UFC crown against Ciryl Gane in the octagon, winning by unanimous decision.
      But he is now embarking on a new challenge as he steps into a pro boxing ring for the first time.
      And he is buoyed by the help Tyson is offering him.
      Ngannou said: “Having Mike Tyson present just makes you realise what is happening.
      “You know that you have a fight and obviously you are serious about it but it seems like there is something missing.
      “You’re like ‘Ok I have a fight but what else do I need’. Then you have Mike Tyson and he’s basically like the biggest boxing figure.
      “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.

      Eddie Hearn branded ‘legitimately David Brent’ after bizarre statement about Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury

      by

      BOXING fans have compared promoter Eddie Hearn to legendary comedy character David Brent after he named himself as one of the top three most famous stars in British boxing.Matchroom Sport chairman Hearn, 44, has guided the careers of some of the country’s best fighters in recent years including the likes of Anthony Joshua, Carl Froch, Kell Brook and Tony Bellew.

      And he has also boosted his profile in the process, emerging from the shadow of his dad Barry Hearn – who founded and built Matchroom Sport for more than 40 years.
      But the Essex-based promoter has received some backlash after claiming he is the third biggest name in British boxing behind heavyweight superstars Joshua and Tyson Fury.
      Speaking to The Independent, he said: “If you asked someone on the street to name three people in UK boxing, they’d probably go: ‘Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Eddie Hearn.’
      “Or something like that, top five maybe. That’s important.”
      READ MORE IN SPORT
      This statement led to a hilarious response on social media as fans poked fun at the promoter for sounding like Brent – the cringe boss played by Ricky Gervais in British comedy The Office.
      One said: “He is LEGITIMATELY David Brent. #boxing #Sessions.”
      Another quoted one of Brent’s most famous lines from The Office, adding: “There goes Mr. Hearn. I must remember to THANK him.”
      A third replied: “He is unbelievable.”

      While a fourth responded: “‘That’s important’, not sure it really is…”
      Hearn is currently negotiating a potential heavyweight dust-up between Joshua and American knockout artist Deontay Wilder for early 2024.
      However, Saudi Arabian chiefs who had hoped to stage the fight are yet to confirm it is taking place.
      And if it does not happen, Joshua will likely fight in December.
      AJ, 33, has returned from back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk with successive wins against Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius.
      There remains doubts about the Brit’s ability to compete against the elite of the division – namely Fury and Usyk.
      Yet despite his three professional losses, Hearn remains eternally grateful to Joshua for what he has done for Matchroom.
      He added: “He’s a one-off. Tyson Fury’s gone to great levels as well, but Joshua… We did a tremendous job with him and still do, but he was a one-off.

      Boxing rookie Ngannou has enlisted the help of former undisputed heavyweight champion Tyson in a bid to shock the world in the ten-round exhibition.
      And Fury, who was named after Iron Mike by his dad John, can’t help but feel down about the boxing icon trying to plot his demise.
      The undefeated WBC heavyweight champion told Sky Sports: “I think that it’s sad, actually.
      “The man that I am named after, a legend, has to go against me and then come out as a loser.

      But Fury insists the American’s iconic mantra will ring true as soon as he sticks it on the MMA man-mountain.
      He said: “No matter what he teaches this fella [Ngannou], no matter how much boxing training he does, everyone has got a plan until they get punched in the face.
      “And I’m not sure who said that, but that is true. They’ve all got a plan until they get smacked in the mouth.”
      Despite Tyson being on Team Ngannou, the Fury family still hold the New Yorker in the highest regard.
      But that hasn’t stopped John from calling out the iconic heavyweight for a rumble on the undercard of his son’s controversial outing.
      The 59-year-old told SecondsOut: “Why wouldn’t I not speak to Mike Tyson?
      “I love the guy, I named my son after him. And if he wants to fight me on the undercard he can, no problem.” More
