      “Whatever makes sense to me, it’s got to make money, it’s got to make sense.

      “Obviously [I want to fight] the champions but if not the champions, I’d like to fight Avril Mathie.
      “I like the look of her, she’s tough. I think that would be a really exciting fight for the fans, other than that I’m not fussed.”
      Bridges previously claimed a fight against Mathie would “break the internet.”

      Tyson Fury says he’s rather give up belt than fight heavyweight rival who is two stone lighter than him

      by

      TYSON FURY insists he would rather give up his WBC heavyweight title belt rather than fight one individual who is TWO STONE lighter than him.The Gypsy King is currently in Australia to support training partner and friend Joseph Parker.

      Parker, 31, faces Faiga Opel, 29, in Melbourne tomorrow night and will have the backing of Fury, who made the near 11,000 mile trip over.
      The champ was in talks for the heavyweight division’s first four-belt undisputed decider against Oleksandr Usyk this year.
      But the deal broke down amid a row over the potential split for a rematch between the two.
      Fury, 34, was looking to come back in the summer at Wembley but found very little available opponents available.
      READ MORE ON TYSON FURY
      It led the two-time unbeaten champion to name Australia as a potential host for his very next bout.
      Fury was at today’s press conference to watch Parker weigh-in at 108.8kg, the New Zealander’s the lightest weight since his defeat to Anthony Joshua in 2018.
      The Brit, who hit the scales at 19.2 stone for his victory over Derek Chisora in December, was asked whether defending his title against close pal and training partner Parker in the future was “a realistic possibility” by the media in attendance.
      But he instantly replied with: “Definitely not. No. I’d rather give him the belt than fight him for it.

      “We’re too close for that fight, and there’s plenty of heavyweights out there.”
      Fury then joked that he also “didn’t want to get beat up” by Parker.
      The star had earlier in the week made the shock revelation that he could be in line to fight Aussie heavyweight Demsey McKean.
      McKean, 32, is signed to Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom banner and is currently 22-0 with 14 knockouts.
      And he was hired as Anthony Joshua’s sparring before before the Brit’s loss to Usyk in September 2021.
      McKean was also considered as an opponent for Joshua this year before Jermaine Franklin was ultimately selected. More

      She said: “I love being a part of Misfits events. It’s like one big family! It’s more like a social event for me rather than work.”
      She revealed two weeks ago she had been hit with a livestreaming ban on TikTok after alleged nudity and body exposure violations.
      Speaking to the Daily Star, Apollonia said: “I was wearing a white T-shirt that covered everything with no cleavage on show. It is absolutely ridiculous.
      “There was no warning, no nothing. I don’t know where the nudity has come from.
      “When it happened I was just so confused and didn’t really understand what was going on and when I clicked on it and it said I had been banned.
      “I was shocked because I haven’t done anything wrong. I would understand if I was sitting there in a bikini or whatever but that definitely wasn’t the case.

      “It is just so frustrating because I was just sitting there in a T-shirt and I could understand it if I was exposed but I was literally completely covered.”

      Anthony Joshua hits out at boxing with cryptic post about ‘rats’ and echoes Mike Tyson and George Foreman’s views

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has hit out at boxing with a cryptic post about “rats out-witting lions” as he echoed George Foreman and Mike Tyson’s views.Former unified heavyweight champion AJ returned to the ring with a scrappy points win over Jermaine Franklin last month.
      Anthony Joshua has seemingly took aim at boxing’s money men in a cryptic Insta postCredit: Getty
      He shared Mike Tyson’s message about boxing being business rather than sportCredit: Instagram
      We revealed this week that the 33-year-old’s long-awaited showdown with Deontay Wilder is on the verge of being finalised.
      His promoter Eddie Hearn has stated that he would like the Watford warrior to take another warm-up fight before throwing down with the former WBC king.
      An all-British clash with Dillian Whyte has been mooted – and now it seems that Joshua is about to start preparing for a fight camp before the bumper bout with the Bronze Bomber.
      However, frustration over finalising a fight seems to be mounting judging by the star’s latest cryptic Instagram post.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      He firstly shared a clip on his story of the legendary Foreman, which was headlined “I was forced back into boxing because the people I trusted stole everything from me”.
      The American said in the video: “I gave it all up. I never wanted to see a boxing ring again. But I got broke and I had to go back in the ring to take care of my family.”
      Joshua then shared a clip of icon Tyson saying: “I found out that boxing’s business and not about who is stronger or tougher, it’s about the smartest guy – who can make the most money with the least risk.
      “That’s what boxing is truly about but then ego gets involved but it’s about making the most money with the least risk and you leave here healthy, you have your family and have a enough money to take care of people.”

      And then Joshua wrote the following message to his followers: “Boxing: The only jungle where the rats out-wit the lions.”
      Boxing bosses in Saudi are working on a deal for AJ to fight Wilder, which the American’s coach Malik Scott said is close to being agreed.
      Scott told Betway: “Without going into too much detail about the business aspect of it, everything’s been said, talked about, negotiated, but nothing’s been signed.
      “But signing is almost upon us. But the negotiations definitely are happening.
      “The moves are being made. The business aspect is definitely being taken care of.
      “And most of all Deontay Wilder is being taken care of and is going to get paid very well for his services, and that’s the most important part to me.”
      Meanwhile, AJ has been warned he does NOT have the ability to beat a “reckless” Deontay Wilder.
      Esteemed British trainer Dominic Ingle has backed Wilder, 37, to win the proposed blockbuster bout in the Middle East.
      Ingle told Boxing King Media: “The way Wilder is, he’s reckless when he fights – and Anthony Joshua isn’t.
      “He’s got the reach, he’s got the recklessness, he’ll throw caution to the wind, he’s got the power and he’ll get off the floor and he’ll fight.

      “He’s also boxed Tyson Fury three times, something Joshua hasn’t done. So you’ve got to give him full credit for how he is.
      “I think it’d be a very difficult job for Anthony Joshua to beat Deontay Wilder. Very difficult. I don’t think he has the ability to.”  More

      McGuigan: Okolie has all the physical advantages but lacks the mental strength to beat Billam-Smith

      by

      SHANE MCGUIGAN reckons Lawrence Okolie is too mentally weak to defend his world title against Chris Billam-Smith on Saturday.The expert coach and son of Irish ring legend Barry trained both cruiserweights for around four years and oversaw around 300 rounds of sparring between them.

      Okolie, 30, left the gym on good terms at the start of the year to move to Dubai, with the WBO crown McGuigan helped him land in 2021.
      And now he heads to Bournemouth’s Vitality stadium to face his 32-year-old former stablemate – at his boyhood club – and the good will and respect is starting to fade.
      “Chris is naturally a tougher man than Lawrence,” McGuigan said at his Leyton gym. “He’s naturally more brave. 

      “Lawrence has ‘self preservation’ stamped on his forehead.
      READ MORE BOXING NEWS
      “He doesn’t want to go to the well and that’s why he boils himself down from 108kg to 90kg instead of moving to heavyweight, it’s so he has an advantage. 
      “In everything Lawrence does he always wants an advantage. He always wants to be one step ahead.
      “He has a massive advantage, he’s physically a much bigger specimen than Chris. He’s stronger than him when you get him in the weights room, he punches harder than him. 
      “All of these things favour Lawrence but, in mindset, Chris is a much superior person. And, also, he can go in there and put himself on the line.”
      Most read in Boxing
      Undefeated Okolie, now 19-0, has sensational knockout power in his right hand but has a fair reputation for being in a handful of underwhelming wins.
      And McGuigan reckons his man will spring the surprise as long as he survives the first few rounds and drags Okolie down the stretch.
      The 35-year-old coach said: “He is either boring the place out or knocking them out with one shot – because he’s got the power. There is no in between. 
      “He’s never thinking it through or breaking someone down. It’s always either he blitzes you or hits you with a few good shots, they weather it, and he wins in a boring, messy way. 
      “It’s up to us to ensure we can negate what he does well. 
      “First off, get through the first three or four rounds. If we do that we can chip away, land a few good shots and then make sure we negate what he does well.”

      McGuigan concedes a year ago it would have been tough to back CBS to beat the 6ft 5in Hackney ace.
      But now his man is on a run and has the backing of the Prem side and the seaside town, he can only see a new British world champion emerging.
      “I think you’d have to say ‘Okolie win’,” he said about a bout 12 months ago. “But at the same time he’s now finding a new style and Chris has got better. 
      “We know what we have to do. It’s a world title fight, at home in front of 15,000 people. 
      Read More on The Sun
      “Out of the champions at cruiserweight, I favour us against Lawrence because we know him well. 
      “I know what his weaknesses are mentally and physically. It means we can go in there with a structured game plan to give ourselves the best opportunity.” More
