      “I think people think that’s now, and maybe I didn’t explain it right, but they just hear the 30 grand a month. 
      “Uni ended when I was 21 or 22, so three years ago now.
      “Life is good, thank you Piers Morgan – he basically doubled my earnings.

      by

      The American star went through the belt system at Jamie Cruz’ academy before moving to New York to train full-time at Marcelo Garcia’s academy in New York.
      By the age of 19, Danis had earned himself a black belt after wins at the sport’s most prestigious competitions.

      Paul, 26, came up short in the biggest fight of his brief professional career – suffering a split decision defeat.
      The Problem Child blamed the defeat on “illness” and “arm injury” but has since pivoted to claims he was out on the razz seven weeks before fight night.
      During an interview with The Nelk Boys, he said: “I knew I wasn’t focused going into the Tommy fight.
      “I was drinking like seven weeks before and I was like, what the f**k am I doing?

      Former Disney star Paul felt like he could live it up during fight camp following six wins on the bounce.
      He said: “You think like, ‘Okay, no one’s really beat me or given me a crazy challenge’.
      “In hindsight, it’s so stupid and that’s why I’m saying it out loud.

      Paul says he only came to his senses a matter of weeks before the Saudi showdown.

      “I’m done with this shit and sure enough, I lost because of that.”
      Paul bounced back from defeat to Fury in August with a unanimous decision victory over former UFC star Nate Diaz.

      I’m friends with Tyson Fury and was trained by Joe Frazier but I swapped boxing for a different kind of canvas

      by

      ARTIST Richard Slone has painted some of the best boxers in the world – but he wasn’t a bad fighter himself. Slone has worked on legendary fighters like Floyd Mayweather, Ricky Hatton and Tyson Fury over the years.

      But at one point in his life, he thought his career was destined for the ring.
      At just 16 he left England and accepted an offer from the great Joe Frazier to live at his gym in Philadelphia.
      He also helped Hall of Fame coach Emanuel Steward at the famous Kronk gym in Detroit.
      Frazier’s son Marvis phoned Slone to suggest training with the legendary heavyweight.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Slone told talkSPORT: “As a gift to Joe, I showed up with an ink drawing.
      “It got smashed along the way – and the frame – but Joe loved the drawing.
      “I was Joe’s protege. I idolised him and would have done anything he said. I mimicked his style very, very well, but unfortunately I couldn’t mimic his heart.
      “There’s only one Joe Frazier. I knew at one point, internally, so I was the first guy to give up on myself – and also immigration was an issue, so I couldn’t go pro or fight amateur fights.

      “We did exhibitions all the time. Joe took care of me [financially], and I had some jobs, cash in hand, and sometimes bartering.
      “I was here 90 days the first time; I went home once, and I’ve never been back since.”
      Slone would later spend more time with Steward at the Kronk, where Lennox Lewis was being coached into the world’s best heavyweight.
      But after Lewis retired in 2004, Slone relocated to Las Vegas and began spending more time focussing on his art.
      Nelson Mandela, Pamela Anderson and Denzel Washington are among those to have paintings from him.
      But British pair Hatton and Fury are among self-taught Slone’s favourite customers as well as Mayweather.
      He said: “[Ricky Hatton’s] probably the one I painted the most and had the most conversations with.
      “Ricky is just so down to earth and approachable, and he likes a laugh and isn’t ashamed of his actions. Fury’s the exact same thing.

      “It’s a great relationship [with Floyd Mayweather]. I’ve a lot of respect for him – I know people have mixed views – in my eyes he’s a champion human being, and has always treated me correctly.”
      Slone is still busy to this day and his artwork of Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo was used for the fight program and on-site poster.

      But in the seventh round, when Warrington took his eye off the ball with only seconds of the stanza remaining, he landed a blistering right hand and left hook that sent two-time IBF champ Warrington plumetting to the canvas and toward retirement.
      Warrington leaped to his feet but staggered across the ring and was saved from his own bravery by referee Michael Alexander.
      The Sheffield arena, bang in the middle of their respective homes, was split down the middle.
      Leeds United fans made a deafening din on one side of the ice rink while the Forest faithful did their best to bellow above them.

      Warrington, 32, tore straight into his rival, slashing at his body with hooks and whipping out a lead left that grazed his face.
      Wood, kept his arrows long and straight and he complained about Warrington’s rabbit punches from the off.
      Both men thew Mexican-style body punches in the second but Wood, boxing out of the southpaw stance, then tagged Warrington a couple of times to the head.
      Wood looked buzzed at the start of the third when Warrington backed him up against the ropes and unloaded a volley.

      Later in the same session a left hook from the Yorkshireman landed too and stunned Wood.
      Warrington’s pre-fight plan to bully the permed Gedling puncher was working as he started totting up the early rounds.
      Wood livened up for the fourth but Warrington kept slipping past his pawing jab and tagging him with hooks.
      Right on the bell a cut opened up and squirted blood out of Wood’s right eye, his corner would be stemming the flow of claret as the Leeds fans took over the venue with their chanting.
      Wood’s nightmare start got worse in the fifth when Warrington poked out three jabs that teed up a booming right hand.
      The blow rattled Wood’s brain and made his legs stiffen, he showed great courage to stay on his feet as his right cheekbone turned a nasty shade of purple.
      Warrington lost a point for rabbit punching in the seventh then right at the end he was smashed senseless.
      Wood walked him on to a right hook, then another, and then a left hand another hook, five punches landed flush and unanswered before he collapsed.
      He seemed spark out but leaped to his feet but he was saved from his own bravery as he was staggering and stunned. 
      After the fight, Wood reflected: “It’s gotta be up there. It was a bit like my career: started off a bit rough, but we got there.
