    A helmeted biker on a £24,000 Ducati was seen to pull up and cut into the tyres with a knife before riding off.
    Police suspected Froch, 45, but witnesses at the scene, a golf club car park, refused to help.
    The Nottingham-born dad of two denied he was the culprit.
    Froch was said to have been handed a brand new red Ducati to test drive as part of his deal with the motor firm.

    And he was spotted riding a similar bike.
    He was accused of owning leathers and a helmet similar to those used in the knife attack on the motor.
    Officers shelved the probe after he was spoken to further at a Notts police station.
    Froch retired in 2015 after winning 33 of his 35 fights.

    He was floored just twice, recovering to beat Jermain Taylor and George Groves.

    And boxing authorities recently OVERTURNED his second-round knockout victory to a No Contest.
    In a statement after the fight, KSI said: “I worked very hard for this fight and had an intense and gruelling camp.
    “There’s no better feeling than being in that ring and having my hand raised in front of my loyal and amazing fans, who I appreciate very much.

    “Unfortunately, the victory, which was inevitable no matter what, is tarnished and I hate that. It sucks!”
    “After landing my overhand right, he was pretty much out on his feet and I went for a short right hook as Joe clinched me and fell into me.
    “I landed that hook and the glove made contact but appears to have been followed by unintentional contact with my forearm.

    “I’m gutted that it’s not as clean a win as I wanted and it feels like it diminishes my hard work with my trainers.”

    The undefeated braveheart has somehow kept his cool, in the face of the rock-bottom trash talk.
    But the recently-married ace vows to let his rasping southpaw jab and vicious left power punch get revenge on the seemingly troubled challenger.
    Ahead of the Saturday night showdown, he explained: “All it does is give me more fire in my belly and more desire to give him a real pasting and really hurt him.
    “I really didn’t need motivation for this fight but, after what he said, I want to punish him and he will be made to pay for what he said.

    “It will be a barnstormer while it lasts but I think I stop him.
    “I think I make him retire on his stool from the accurate punches that will bust him up so bad.”
    Taylor’s hero Ken Buchanan – perhaps Scotland’s finest ever fighter – sadly lost his life on April 1.
    And, in his first fight since the sad loss, Taylor will pay a special tribute to his legendary mentor who gave him great advice – as well as inspiration – and walked an almost identical path.

    He said: “I knew Ken very well, from when I was a young lad of around 18.
    “He came into the gym I was training at and gave me tips on how to live, inside and outside of the ring, and how to apply myself and give it my all.
    “He told me great stories of the time he headlined at Madison Square Garden and he even had Muhammad Ali come and ask him if he could share the dressing room with him.
    “Ken agreed but he drew a line down the middle of the room and told him: ‘that’s your side, this is my side’.
    “He was a genuine legend of a man and – in my opinion – one of Scotland and the UK’s greatest to ever do it.
    “When I win this it will be a great story to tell my future kids and grandkids, I will be able to tell them that I went and did what one of Scotland’s greatest ever did and I now have a small place alongside him.
    “I could not make his funeral so my fight shorts are a tribute to the ones he wore in Madison Square Garden, it’s one of the ways I can pay my respects to him.” More

    Fury’s latest claim was quickly denied by Joshua’s team and prompted a scathing response from Frank Warren, who claimed Joshua and Hearn were “full of s**t.”
    Matchroom Boxing chief Hearn was left perplexed by Warren’s rant, telling iFL TV: “That was just bizarre.
    “I was like ‘What the f*** is going on here?’. He said that he will sign or forge the contract?”
    Hearn is on good terms with Warren’s son, George, and believes he should be at the forefront of Queensberry Promotion’s negotiations going forward.

    The 44-year-old said: “We’ve got a really nice thing going with George Warren.
    “I don’t mean this disrespectfully because my old man is one of them, but these older boys have got to go and have a sit-down.
    “What Frank Warren does is completely ruin any chance of the fight getting made.
    “Me and George will speak and agree to not saying anything, to that respect we’ve said nothing. Frank comes out with that.”

    Veteran promoter Warren pleaded with Joshua to reconsider his decision to prioritise his plans to have another warm-up fight before facing Deontay Wilder in December.
    And Hearn believes the public plea to AJ wreaked of desperation.
    He said: “It looked so desperate because they are desperate, they have no offer from Saudi Arabia and they have no fight.”
    Despite Joshua being lined up for a long-awaited grudge match with Wilder, Hearn is still open to pitting the former unified heavyweight king in a domestic dust-up with Fury.
    He said: “We have an offer without a contract so we need to wait on that contract.
    “Don’t forget that Frank has never done a fight with Saudi Arabia, I have done two fights.

    “I’m well up for talking about the Fury fight in September, but we have our plan for August and December.
    “Do you think interviews like that are going to help, ‘Anthony Joshua, you’re a coward’.
    “You’ve absolutely lost your mind. What are you doing, is that the sign of someone trying to make a fight?
    “The public have wised up to Frank Warren and Tyson Fury, they aren’t falling for it any more and we aren’t falling for it any more.

    “We will make the fight and talk about it sensibly.
