      “She only tolerates boxing because she knows how happy it makes me. That’s it. Other than that she hates it.
      “She doesn’t like talking about it, she doesn’t like watching it, nothing, which I can understand.
      “She’s watching her partner, the father to her baby, getting in the ring, have a fight and get punched up.
      “It’s not a nice feeling to go through so I commend her, I do.”

      Fury revealed tricep kickbacks are a secret ingredient to gaining punching power.

      “I’m ready to go out there on DAZN, live pay-per-view in front of millions across the world and put on an absolute destruction.”

      Joshua Buatsi reveals he made agreement to fight Anthony Yarde in Brit blockbuster after seeing rival at Stormzy’s party

      by

      And after Yarde’s most recent win, he went out of his way to call out Buatsi, who puts friendship aside on October 21 against Dan Azeez.
      But in secret, the two already made a verbal agreement to finally fight in 2024 after attending a bash hosted by Stormzy.
      Buatsi told SunSport: “Stormzy had like a birthday party. We were both invited and we were talking and that’s when we mentioned it as well. 
      “The only thing about that was I think a couple of days later I see an interview where his energy was a bit different.

      “And I was thinking, ‘That’s mad. Because when I was with you a couple of days ago you wasn’t saying any of that. You was talking normal.’
      “But again, he’s saying what he’s supposed to say, so hopefully it can happen next year.” 
      Americans Errol Spence Jr, 33, and Terence Crawford, 35, had enough of middle men and decided to call each other up to negotiate their super-fight.
      Crawford ran out a convincing winner over nine rounds but it was his work outside the ring which has made the most impact.

      Buatsi said: “The Spence and Crawford fight, they took matters into their own hands and made it happen.
      “It’s important and good to see that boxers are doing that.” 
      Yarde, 32, has twice failed in his world title attempts and most recently shared a hellacious eight-round war with Artur Beterbiev, 38.
      Meanwhile Buatsi, 30, can put himself next in line for Dmitry Bivol’s WBA belt with a win over close pal Azeez, 34, at the O2 Arena.
      But Yarde is hoping to tempt the winner into a domestic detour as he issued out a public challenge.
      But Buatsi hit back: “I think he’s saying what he’s supposed to say.
      “What would have caught my attention is anything Azeez may or may not have said. 
      “I’m fighting Dan next, what Yarde is saying I don’t really care about.
      “But of course, it’s a fight that people are interested in, a fight that people want to see happen and a fight I’d like to have myself. 
      “So it’s great that he’s calling me out, it’s fantastic.”

      “I am truly gutted as my whole year has been preparing for this moment, for something out of my control to take it from me.
      “Just something else to add to the crazy autobiography I’ll write when I become world champion.” More

      Tommy Fury gained THREE STONE after binging on £300 of cheesecake plus pizzas and burgers following Jake Paul win

      Fury weighed 184.5lb (13st 1lb) the night before his split-decision win in Saudi Arabia.
      And the reality TV star – believed to have made over £3MILLION for the fight – reaped the rewards of his pay-per-view victory.
      So much so that in an interview with The Times, it was revealed he went up three stone meaning he would have weighed over 16 STONE.
      But Fury explained that, having restricted himself to a diet during his training camp, he makes up for lost time after the bout.

      He said:  “My logic — and it’s terrible – is that between fights I try to cram as much c**p as I can into my body so that when I have to get back in shape I’m sick of junk food.”
      After beating Paul over eight rounds, he ate £300 worth of cheesecake while gorging on pizzas, burgers and milkshakes.
      He added: “Everything that was bad for you, it was in that hotel room that night.”
      Fury, 24, returned from the Middle East with bragging rights, his reputation and unbeaten record intact.

      And after handing Paul, 26, a first defeat, he saved his own boxing career in the process.
      Fury admitted: “Hand on heart, 100 per cent. I wouldn’t even be able to show my face in public for a long time.
      “I’ve been boxing all my life and then I lose to a YouTuber? That would have been the biggest joke.”
      Fury now goes into a second consecutive celebrity boxing blockbuster next Saturday in Manchester.
      This time, it will come against Paul’s arch rival KSI, 30, who has five wins, one draw and a no-contest in the ring.
      It is claimed Fury will earn another £1.1m for the bout, which will be broadcast on DAZN PPV in both the UK and US.
      And despite the allure of a rematch with Paul or a fight against the American’s older brother Logan, 28, Fury insisted he must win a traditional boxing gold.
      He said: “For me to be truly satisfied, I have to get my hands on title belts.

      “I don’t want to sit in the rocking chair at 70 thinking I could have challenged for a world title, I could have been in contention.

      The MMA fighter has even been hit with a restraining order after harassing his rival’s model partner by repeatedly posting photos of her online.
      The actions of Danis have led to fierce criticism, with many slating him for bringing his opponent’s loved one into it.
      However, former heavyweight world champ Joshua believes “anything is acceptable in the art of war”.
      When quizzed about it, AJ said: “I’ll be real, in this game of boxing, there are no rules.

      “The internet is undefeated. All of your information is out there at the end of the day.
      “What you put out there will always come around full circle.
      “Unfortunately, they are using this as a war tactic – and you’re at war. 
      “So there are no low blows and anything is acceptable in the art of war.”

      It emerged last month that Danish model Agdal, 31, had taken out a restraining order against Danis. 
      The order does not prevent the pair from being in the same place at once, but rather stops Danis from posting specific photos of Paul’s fiancee online.
      It is also said to restrict the American from posting any content depicting or portraying Agdal that was never meant to be shared publicly or was obtained without consent.
      But despite Danis’ attempts to upset Paul and his wife-to-be, the social media star has revealed that Agdal will still be coming to watch him fight next week.
      The Maverick, who is now also a WWE superstar, lost to KSI back in 2019 after previously drawing with the man who is now business partner.
      The Brit will be fighting alongside Paul this time as the Prime pair share the limelight in Manchester.
      KSI will face Tommy Fury, who is fresh off the back of silencing Logan Paul’s little brother Jake during their bout in February.

      But this week it emerged that Fury will fight Oleksander Usyk in a clash to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world on December 23.
      To prepare for that fight, he has reportedly messaged Opetaia ahead of potentially adding him as a sparring partner in the run-up to fighting Usyk.
      Sydney-born Opetaia is currently unbeaten at cruiserweight level and stopped Brit Jordan Thompson at Wembley Arena on the weekend.
      He is also the reigning IBF cruiserweight champion.

      After beating Thompson, he told Boxing King Media: “Tyson Fury has already reached out. He messaged [my] coach, they’ve spoken about it before.”
      “I was close to going out there before the fight got cancelled,” the 28-year-old added, referring to the collapse of talks between Fury and Usyk in spring.
      “That’s a crazy experience, I look forward to doing things like that.”
      Usyk previously reigned as the undisputed cruiserweight champion of the world before stepping up to fight at heavyweight – so using cruiserweight Opetaia as a sparring partner may be crucial in helping Fury prepare for the undisputed title fight.

      Like Usyk, Opetaia says he hopes to step up to the heavyweight division one day.
      When asked about the prospect of going up a weight class, Opetaia said: “Definitely.
      “I’ve still got a lot of work to do as a cruiserweight, but I see myself fighting for heavyweight world titles further down the track.” More
