      He shouts advice at the screen before mocking Usyk, saying: “See him there, he couldn’t knock the skin off a rice pudding.
      “I will smoke that little motherf***er’s boots. Five or six years ago, I relieved a Ukrainian of all of the the belts before in [Wladimir] Klitschko. F*** them.”
      Fury begins to call Joshua on as he screamed: “Go on AJ, good jab son! Left hook to the body, let’s go! Bang, bang, bang!
      “Let them rip, both hands.”

      But showing signs of frustration, Fury sighed: “Come on, get stuck in son! Swing some shots for God’s sake. This is shockingly s****.”
      Usyk beat Joshua on points twice in the space of 11 months.
      But Fury, 35, was left unimpressed, saying: “I’ll tell you what I’ll do, I’ll go over there and I’ll fight them both in the same night.
      “That’s how s*** they are, they are f***ing s***. Thought it was a s*** fight, honestly I thought it was a proper s**** fight.

      “It wasn’t even worthy of a British title, never mind a world heavyweight title. S***.”
      Joshua has bounced back with two wins since that defeat, beating Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius.
      And after Usyk failed in talks to fight Fury, he was later ordered into a WBA mandatory defence against Daniel Dubois set for August 26.
      Fury meanwhile returns in Saudi on October 28 against ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou in a crossover clash.

      Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn says Deontay Wilder is ‘overrated’ and ‘NEVER beaten an elite heavyweight’

      by

      EDDIE HEARN says Deontay Wilder is overrated and has “never beaten an elite heavyweight.” Wilder is in talks with Anthony Joshua for a super-fight in Saudi Arabia in January, with Hearn leading negotiations.

      But the promoter has already started the fighting words by questioning Wilder’s record.
      He told Boxing Social: “I cannot believe how highly people rate Deontay Wilder. He’s never beaten a top-five heavyweight.
      “Luis Ortiz is his best win – he was getting smashed in the first fight, he was 7-0 down in the second fight. He’s never beaten an elite heavyweight.”
      Wilder, 37, made ten successful WBC title defences, losing only to Tyson Fury, 35, in their rematch and trilogy bout.

      The American returned last October, knocking out Robert Helenius, 39, in just 40 seconds.
      And it was Helenius who replaced Dillian Whyte, 35, following a failed test to fight Joshua, 33.
      AJ took seven rounds to take Helenius out and Hearn hopes it will set up the blockbuster bout with Wilder.
      He said: “I think that he can beat Deontay Wilder comfortably, but he could also get beat by Deontay Wilder.

      “I don’t think necessarily, I mean, the good thing is he got – what was it – seven rounds in against a tall opponent who can punch a bit with the backhand?
      “I think it’s difficult to replicate certainly the power of Deontay Wilder. But I’ve always felt that AJ can outbox Deontay Wilder.”
      Hearn is set to conduct talks with Saudi’s Skills Challenge Entertainment and Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel.

      by

      But he has now signed with YouTuber-turned boxer Paul’s media company Betr.
      It comes after years of the polarising prankster and prizefighter’s callouts and verbal jabs of McGregor.
      But Garry, 25, told MMAFighting: “I am Conor’s biggest fan.
      “I am literally the first fighter of a generation to make it to the UFC because of Conor’s rise.

      “What they wanna do and what they have and their personal beef has nothing to do with it.
      “If you have two friends that don’t get on, if you have two people that know they don’t get on, you can still be friends with both.
      “You can still do business with both, you can still talk to both, you can still go to both of their houses and have dinner.
      “What they have has nothing to do with me. That’s called being an adult.”

      Paul, 26, first called out McGregor, 35, in 2020 and hurled insults at the Irishman’s long-time partner Dee Devlin.
      And he has continued try and goad the ex-UFC champion back into the ring, following McGregor’s debut 2017 loss to Floyd Mayweather.
      Paul meanwhile bounced back from defeat to Tommy Fury by beating McGregor’s former rival Nate Diaz.

      But managing the cameras and his kids proved to be the father-of-six’s greatest fight yet.
      Wife Paris said on Capital XTRA: “I think the little ones found it complete normality, the younger ones is like six and down, they didn’t know any different, just cameras around, right cameras are in today, no problem.
      “My older girl who is just starting to be a teenager, we went through the teenage tantrums the whole time we was filming.
      “So that was all on there and that was hard work because we’d be like ‘Right, cameras are here’, ‘I don’t care, I’m not interested, I’m not bothered, I want to be the Rob of the Kardashians.’

      “I think they enjoyed it because they all agreed to do it, we talked to the bigger two, the little ones were too young, the big two we were like ‘Do you want to do it, do you want to be involved?’
      “And they were like ‘Yeah, yeah’, but then there’s times when I suppose you don’t want to.
      “Especially when Tyson said no he didn’t want to. We got halfway through filming, and he wanted to cancel the whole show!”
      Fury, 35, added: “Yeah I wanted out, I was like, couple of weeks in I said, ‘Is there any way?’

      “I’d be on the phone with my lawyers, ‘Is there any way I can get out of this? I don’t know what I’ve signed up for again. I never said I’d do it again, I’ve done it again, I’ve made a mistake.’
      “That’s just my bipolar going up and down all the time, one minute I’m happy, the next minute I’m not and it’s very evident to see my emotional roller-coaster throughout this episode.
      “People are going to be shocked because I can take ten turns in an hour.”

      He went in as a 2-0 prospect and came out with his now-fiancee Molly-Mae Hague.
      Fury is currently 9-0 and most recently beat YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul, 26, in a celebrity super-fight.
      It landed him another blockbuster bout against British celebrity KSI, 30, in Manchester on October 14.
      But after hanging up his gloves, Fury wants to take his talents to the big screen as an actor.

      He made the reveal on At Home with the Furys, a Netflix series mainly centring around Tyson and his wife Paris.
      Fury said: “My dream is now to do the boxing, get as far as I can in that, then I’d like to get into the films.
      “I’ve made my mind up. But I think I’ll have an easier way into it, because I don’t want to do serious acting. I just wanna do horror films.”
      Brother Tyson, 34, said: “You’re a horror movie buff, ain’t you?”

      And Fury responded: “I only watch them.”
      The boxer lives in a stunning £3.5million mansion with Molly-Mae but he has now moved out of it while training to fight KSI.
      Molly-Mae said: “Today is a little bit of a sad day in a way as Tommy has gone into his official camp today.
      “He’s basically been in camp for the last few weeks but he’s gone into his camp where he has essentially moved out of the house for a long time actually.
      “It’s probably going to be about two months that we’re not living together, that’s just the way training camp is.”

      I arrived in London to coach Anthony Joshua but his training camp was a JOKE – I immediately told him to fly me home

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA’S former coach has taken another shot at the British boxer – claiming he instantly thought the training camp was a “joke” when they worked together.Trainer Robert Garcia was brought in by AJ last year following his first defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
      Anthony Joshua and former trainer Robert Garcia’s war of words is still going onCredit: PA
      And after Usyk, 36, won the rematch last August, Garcia was publicly critical of Joshua, 33, which led to his dismissal from the camp.
      AJ was told afterwards that he needed a “stricter camp” after having it too “easy and quick” by the American.
      Another dig was then fired by Garcia as he claimed that the 2012 Olympic Gold medallist would lose to lightweight Gervonta Davis.
      The animosity between Garcia and Joshua, who previously said his first trainer Rob McCracken did not teach him defence, appears to be mutual.

      The 33-year-old Watford-born star, who has bounced back from the Usyk setbacks with a unanimous decision win over Jermaine Franklin before Saturday’s seventh round knockout of Robert Helenius, has claimed that he was taught nothing by Garcia.
      But his now apparent foe hit back this week in extraordinary fashion when asked for his thoughts on AJ’s comments during an appearance on the Little Giant Boxing podcast.
      He said: “I don’t really pay attention to that. I didn’t hear it. Somebody read it to me, but to me, it’s just what boxing is, man.
      “When you’re with a fighter everything is going well then at the end something goes wrong and the first one to blame is the trainer.

      “One thing I will tell you, when I first got to training camp in London in England, the first week, there was things that they were doing, people involved, it’s just not my style.
      “And honestly I have all the emails where I told the management team, I said please fly me home, it was a joke.”
      Garcia then added: “The way it was going, the people involved, things they were doing to prepare for a fight, things were going on in training camp I would just sit and laugh by myself.
      “I told the management team can you just please fly me home I’m not going to be part of this, they convinced me to stay, change things around, which I did – I changed things around and we ended up doing good.
      “But one week into camp I was ready to leave camp so if that was the case [that they weren’t happy with me] they should have sent me home when I wanted to go.”
      Joshua is now preparing for one of his biggest challenges yet with an expected showdown against KO artist Deontay Wilder, the former WBC heavyweight champ, in Saudi Arabia in December. More

      Eddie Hearn trolls Jake Paul over ‘awful’ Nate Diaz fight and says YouTuber couldn’t win regional title

      by

      EDDIE HEARN has mocked Jake Paul’s fight with Nate Diaz – branding it an “awful” display of boxing.The YouTuber-turned-boxer returned to the win column with a unanimous decision victory over the former UFC star earlier this month.

      Paul, 26, dropped MMA legend Diaz in the fifth round on his way to picking up his seventh professional victory, although the knockdown did little to impress Hearn.
      During an appearance on The MMA Hour, the Matchroom Boxing chief said of the fight: “It was awful.
      “Don’t get me wrong, the event was unbelievable. You did a great job.
      “Brilliant. But when you’re talking about — you know MMA like the back of your hand.

      “I know boxing like the back of my hand, and I’m watching that like [face in his hands], ‘This is so bad.’”
      Problem Child Paul has aspirations of eventually challenging for a world title, something Hearn believes is the ultimate pipe dream.
      He said: “We have something in the U.K. called an area title, which is in a specific radius — it’s kind of like a state title.
      “These guys wouldn’t win a state title – that’s the level they’re fighting at.

      “But listen, props to Nate. He definitely didn’t have ability, but what he did have was grit.
      “But Jake just doesn’t have the ability or the experience to break someone down and stop them. And I was convinced he would.”
      Paul lamented his failure to stop Diaz, who has only ever been finished once in MMA.
      But Hearn doesn’t believe he had the skill-set to stop the fight inside the distance.
      He said: “The reason that Nate didn’t get stopped is that Jake didn’t have the ability.
      “He doesn’t know how to break a fighter down, cut off the ring, beat him up, and stop him.
      “But I give my props to Nate: super tough. Super tough. But you’re talking about low, low level in terms of standard.”
      Paul is expected to return to the ring later this year, although there currently isn’t a frontrunner to be his ninth professional opponent.
