      Tyson Fury called out by forgotten heavyweight Mahmoud Charr after being ordered into title fight with Jarrell Miller

      by

      TYSON FURY has been called out by forgotten heavyweight Mahmoud Charr following the announcement of his title fight. Daniel Dubois formerly held the WBA’s secondary “regular” belt until he unified it with Oleksandr Usyk’s full version.

      Usyk prevailed to also retain his IBF and WBO straps but the WBA have since ordered Charr to fight Jarrell Miller for their trinket title.
      The pair are now set to contend for the gold in either Nigeria or Las Vegas and Charr has set his sights on fighting Fury afterwards.
      He told Sky Sports: “I will beat Miller and want to move to Tyson Fury.
      “Fury and me, it will be the best fight right now in heavyweight entertainment.

      “I am always looking to fight the best, this is Fury right now.”
      Miller, 35, was banned for two years following two separate doping scandals but he has had three comeback bouts since.
      Charr, 38, meanwhile had four years out from 2017-2021 but he has a trio of wins to his name also.
      Despite eyeing Fury, 35, in the future the veteran heavyweight insisted Anthony Joshua, 33, does not fall in his plans.

      Charr added: “Many people tell me, fight Anthony Joshua after that. Really I am not interested in fighting him.
      “I want legacy. If want to be the best, I need to beat the best. Tyson Fury is my focus, nothing else.
      “I know AJ is money but money doesn’t attract me. Legacy is the goal.”

      Jake Paul promises he will make huge KSI grudge match happen but says rival is ‘hiding’ from fight

      by

      JAKE PAUL has promised to make sure he finally fights KSI but claimed his rival is hiding behind contract clauses. The YouTubers-turned boxers have rivalled ever since KSI beat Jake’s brother Logan in their 2019 rematch following their draw a year earlier.

      But KSI has since teamed up with Logan to form the surging drinks company Prime – which has caused friction with Jake.
      It has set the stage for the mother of all grudge matches in the influencer boxing space but no deal has been struck.
      And while speaking to Twitch streamer Adin Ross, Jake claimed there is only one man to blame for that.
      He said: “It’s gonna happen, it I mean it has to happen. It has to happen, we’ll make it happen, for sure.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “I’ve been trying to do it, man. He then goes online and like lies about it. Certain clauses and stuff.
      “What happens in boxing is if they don’t really want to do it, they just hide behind all these crazy clauses to make it seem like it’s the contract that’s holding everything up but really it’s the person who doesn’t want to do it.
      “And it’s like look, I’ve fought everybody, every single time. Anyone who asks to fight me, I did the deal, I made it happen.
      “They want ten round? OK, cool. They want this? OK, let’s f***ing do it. So I make these fights happen back to back to back to back for past three-and-a-half years.

      “And people think that I’m the one that wouldn’t make it happen? It’s like, come on guys let’s be realistic here.
      “And I told them, I’ll do it in the UK, you can be the A-side, I don’t give a f*** about any of that.
      “So it’s like, where is the contract hold up? Oh no, you just don’t want to do it.”
      KSI’s manager Mams Taylor hit back: “Does this guy actually ever stop lying? It’s so natural to him it’s scary.”
      Jake, 26, was beaten for the first time in February, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.
      But he snubbed a rematch to instead return in August to beat ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, over ten rounds.
      Now Fury is set to fight KSI, 30, on October 14 in Manchester with Jake set to be in attendance with Logan, 28, fighting on the undercard.

      Conor McGregor ‘bets $200,000’ on training partner Dillon Danis to beat Logan Paul amid YouTuber’s offer of $2m wager

      by

      LOGAN PAUL claims Conor McGregor has bet $200,000 on Dillon Danis to beat him – but ignored his offer of a $2million wager. McGregor’s training partner and friend Danis makes his boxing debut against the YouTube star on October 14 in Manchester.

      Paul initially called out McGregor to bet $1m (£800,000) on the outcome but he then doubled the terms.
      The American, 28, is yet to hear back but claimed the UFC legend, 35, has put a bet worth around £160,000 down at the bookies.
      Paul said: “He’s not behind Dillon, bro.
      “If he was behind Dillon he’d take my $1m bet, there’s a reason he completely ghosted me.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “Dillon mentioned that Conor put money on him in the face-to-face, he goes, ‘Conor put $200k on me.’
      “And I’m like, ‘Then why wouldn’t he take my f***ing bet then. Conor knows, bro, he doesn’t believe in his fighter, his fighter doesn’t believe in himself, when I look at Dillon I see a broken individual.
      “If he thinks he’s broken now? Wait until October 14, I’m going to break him entirely.”
      McGregor is set to train with Danis, 30, ahead of the bout, which acts as co-headliner to KSI’s fight against Tommy Fury.

      And Paul upped the ante with his wager during an episode of comedian Andrew Schulz’s podcast.
      He said: “I asked Dillon about it in the face-to-face I was like, ‘Where’s Daddy Conor, your f***ing boy, if he’s so confident in you?’
      “He goes, ‘Don’t worry about that, blah blah.’ He has no answer. Conor, you know what?
      “I’ll tell you what Mr Moneybags, I’m going to make this more interesting for you, how about we double it?
      “We make it $2m – $2m says I beat your boy Dillon Danis. I know you’re going to see this clip, you’re coaching him, guiding him, he’s definitely going to show up?
      “F*** you, both of you are all bark, no bite. $2m says I beat your boy and I’ll send you the contract tomorrow.
      “But I guarantee you he’s not going to respond. All bark, no bite, both of them.”

      I’ve fought Tyson Fury three times and he will beat Francis Ngannou… but he will get DROPPED by ex-UFC star

      by

      TYSON FURY has been backed by his former opponent to beat Francis Ngannou – but only after taking a trip to the canvas. The unbeaten heavyweight world champion faces ex-UFC star Ngannou on October 28 in Saudi Arabia.

      Fury, 35, comes into the bout having last stopped Derek Chisora, 39, in December, the third time he beat his British rival.
      And Chisora is picking the Gypsy King to beat Ngannou, 37, but warned he could have to get up from the floor first.
      He told SecondsOut: “Tyson is going to win it, but I think Tyson is going to get dropped by Ngannou.”
      Ngannou is set to make the move from the MMA cage to the boxing ring following his UFC departure.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      And Fury’s dad John expects the former UFC champion to bring every ounce of his rugged martial arts style into the bout.
      He told Seconds Out via Freebets.com: “I hold him in the highest esteem and the highest regard.
      “He’s world champion at his game, he’s taking on the best in the world, taking it seriously and I do believe he’s going to bring the smoke.
      “I’m expecting Tyson to come out with a broken leg or a broken arm.

      “He’s not going to come out unscathed and I’m glad they’re paying him well because if they weren’t paying him well I wouldn’t put him in against Francis Ngannou.
      “He’s going to get knocked about, Tyson, and he knows that, exhibition my backside – they’re going to kill each other them pair.”
      Ngannou has called on the help of American legend Mike Tyson – who John named his son after – for his boxing debut.

      Iron Mike has been helping train the Cameroonian in his Las Vegas camp.
      And John said: “Bare in mind he’s got Mike Tyson there and he wants to impress Mike Tyson.
      “And then Tyson [Fury] has got an ego as big as Morecambe so the stage is set for a battle royal.
      “He couldn’t have a better mentor in his camp than the great Mike Tyson, I’m sure Mike will show him the boxing moves he needs.”

      Oleksandr Usyk opens up on horror of front line in Ukraine war where he saw lost limbs and ‘everything looked dead’

      OLEKSANDR USYK’S Ukraine Independence Day celebrations today will be haunted by severed limbs, ­‘zombies’ and abandoned playgrounds.

      The war-torn nation left the Soviet Union 32 years ago  — and is now fighting for its existence following Russia’s invasion.

      Oleksandr Usyk has appeared on the frontline of Ukraine’s war

      Produ Ukrainian Usyk will take on Daniel Dubois saying he’d ‘fight every day’ if it could ‘bring some enjoyment to his country’s fightersRichard Pelham / The Sun

      Not known, clear with picture deskUsyk, centre, holds a machine gun as he joins his country efforts to thwart Vladimir Putin’s Russian invaders[/caption]

      World heavyweight champ Usyk chose this weekend to defend his WBA, IBF and WBO crowns against Daniel Dubois in Wroclaw, a Polish city that has welcomed around 250,000 Ukrainians since the war started 18 months ago.

      Forty thousand of them will pack the local football stadium on Saturday night to watch their hero take on Londoner Dubois.

      At 300 miles from the Ukrainian border, it is the closest Usyk has got to fighting at home since 2015 and should be a blue and yellow parade of national pride.

      But the father of three, whe spent time on the front line in the East Ukraine ghost town of Niu-York, has lost friends, been separated from his family and remains troubled by  his experiences.

      He explained: “Through binoculars, from 900 metres, I saw my enemies running, exploding tanks and broken houses. I saw people with no legs and arms.

      “I saw people walking but looking like they were dead.

      “When I was going in the car around the city, I realised it was a dead city. I saw children’s toys and playgrounds but everything looked dead, there was no energy in the city.

      “I realised that one day that place, on that ground, kids were playing. But now it is dead.”

      GettyWorld champ Oleksandr Usyk says he is ‘not a general, just a regular Ukrainian guy’ when asked by friends why he appears on the front line[/caption]

      EPABritain’s Daniel Dubois prepares to face Oleksandr Usyk n Wroclaw, Poland[/caption]

      The former Olympic gold medallist and undisputed cruiserweight king regularly speaks to Ukraine fighters.

      He added: “I get a lot of text messages from my fans and friends on the front line.

      “I sometimes speak to my friends on the phone and I can hear missiles exploding in the background. I can hear the sounds of bombing.

      “The people I speak to say, ‘Brother, I will call you back, if I am still alive’. Thankfully, most of the time, they stay alive.”

      Usyk has not fought since beating Anthony Joshua for the second time in Saudi Arabia 12 months ago.

      It is staggering that the southpaw genius has had the mental strength to twice dominate AJ and now get ready to dice with Dynamite Dubois who, at 25, is 11 years younger than the champ.

      But Usyk insists he is just a simple family man.

      He said: “For the last 18 months my family has been separated.

      “My kids cannot live in Ukraine, they live somewhere else.

      “But all of this makes me stronger. Some of the guys I was with on the front line did not understand why I was there.

      “They asked, ‘Why are you here, what are you doing here? Some of the generals are not even coming to this place’. More
