      Indeed, it was the same sexy number she wore earlier in the day when she draped herself across police cars outside Parliament.
      But with temperatures dropping overnight in the capital, Ivana looked to beat the cold with a fur coat draped over her shoulders.

      Older brother Tyson – the WBC heavyweight champion – is also in the Middle East ready to corner Tommy.
      And John insisted there is no way a Fury could possibly fall to defeat against YouTuber-turned boxer Paul.
      He said: “We’re here to fight. He’s been around the big stage most of his life.
      “When he first started out, he was meant to do big stuff, being who he is, Tyson Fury’s brother. This kid survives on pressure.

      “And believe me, I wouldn’t have my son sat here if I didn’t think he could deliver.
      “There’s no way in this entire world my son would disgrace our great champion in Tyson Fury.”
      Tommy, 23, has twice pulled out against Paul, 26, in the past amid injury and US visa issues.
      But they hope third time will be the charm ahead of their grudge match in the Diriyah desert.

      KSI is a MACHINE and has been improving as a boxer more than Jake Paul, says man who has trained with BOTH rivals

      by

      BOXER Hasim Rahman Jr has backed KSI to beat Jake Paul as their bitter grudge match edges closer. The pair of arch enemies are in talks to finally settle their score in the ring, with talks of a December blockbuster in the UK.

      Rahman sparred Paul before the American’s second professional fight, which turned out to be a brutal KO of ex-NBA star Nate Robinson. 
      But two years later, they actually signed to fight each only for the bout to be cancelled with a week to go amid a row over the weight. 
      Rahman would go on to sign for KSI’s Misfits Boxing banner, while striking up a training partnership and friendship with the British celebrity. 
      And having witnessed first-hand KSI’s famed work ethic, the American believes Paul will be no match.

      Rahman told SunSport: “I think that JJ outworks Jake and drowns him. 
      “I think that the deep waters that JJ would take Jake to, he just hasn’t been to before. 
      “Jake’s workrate, even in his last fight, is nowhere near what it needs to be for JJ. 
      “JJ is an incredible machine, that boy doesn’t stop and he’s only getting better.

      “I sparred Jake before he fought AnEsonGib and I’ve been watching his career up till the Anderson Silva fight. 
      “I’ve been watching JJ since he fought Logan the first time and he took some time off and came back but the rate of improvement from JJ is much better than Jake’s. 
      “That’s just my honest opinion.” 
      Paul has now given Tommy Fury, 23, THREE chances to fight him, following two prior pullouts, amid injury and US visa issues. 
      The second of which was when Rahman signed as a replacement for a 200lb cruiserweight fight. 
      But the New York State Athletic Commission later changed it to 205lb, although still the two teams clashed, resulting in a fight collapse. 
      Rahman still held a weigh in the day before the planned bout and came in slightly over the catchweight at 206.6lb. 
      Like I told people from the beginning, Jake Paul doesn’t really want to fight me. He never wanted to fight me. Hasim Rahman Jr
      But would refuse to reschedule – unlike with Fury – and chose to fight UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, instead winning in October. 
      Rahman said: “Like I told people from the beginning, Jake Paul doesn’t really want to fight me. He never wanted to fight me. 
      “The world saw him weight 206.6lb – and that was in three weeks – imagine if he gave me the time to prepare like he’s given to Tommy or Anderson Silva. 
      “He definitely had the opportunity to do that, even after our fight fell out. 
      “Now he can’t go back and say, ‘Oh, I don’t want to give you another chance because the fight fell out the first time and we wasted money.’ 
      “When they’ve been through this twice this Tommy and then turn around and give Tommy another fight. 
      “I don’t think Tommy’s going to win, I think Jake will win but it still shows he already pretty much admitted a fight with me meant more and was tougher than with Tommy.

      “He’s still going to have to answer that question after this fight. But he’s going down in weight and I’m not going nowhere lower than 200. 
      “That’s the absolute lowest I would go. But we’ll see about Jake, but Logan can get it, even though I don’t think Logan will be interested in fighting me.”

      And the bad blood carried over to the pre-fight press conference as they two put down each other’s boxing records.
      Paul, 26, said: “He can’t knock out the taxi drivers he’s been put in there with, who have a combined record of 20 wins and 250 losses.
      “And when I say that stat, my friend came up to me like, ‘Yo, I thought you was joking when you said that stat.’
      “That’s an actual stat, his opponents have a combined record of 20 wins and 250 losses.
      READ MORE IN boxing
      “And the records of the opponents now is like 30 wins and 350 losses. So he’s never been put in there with someone who wasn’t put in there to lose.
      “So on Sunday, when he’s in the locker room warming up he’s gonna be thinking, ‘Damn, everyone has been put in there to lose, the Warrens put me in there with scrubs and now I have a real fight, eight rounds.’
      “He’s never been eight rounds, he’s going to be put in the deep waters and drowned and I promise that.”
      Fury, who has never gone past six rounds, will be Paul’s first opponent with a recognised boxing record on Sunday in Saudi Arabia.

      That is despite wins over ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47.
      But Fury, 23, responded: “Tyron Woodley was 40-years-old, Anderson Silva was nearly 50, not too far off my dad’s age and he got took the full distance.
      “Everybody knows in this building who knows about boxing, MMA fighters are not boxers, we all know that.
      “I’ve absolutely took apart every single MMA fighter I’ve ever sparred with in my entire life.
      “They’re not boxers, and this guy couldn’t even deal with them. Let alone, ‘This guy is a great striker.’ Yeah, in MMA, not boxing.
      “And you still went eight rounds with him and looked like you went through the trenches.
      “On Sunday night, you’ve got a fresh, young, 23-year-old, proper legitimate fighter who will have it inside or outside the ring.
      “I’m not for lights, camera, action, this is in my heart, blood and sole and you’re going to feel that.

      “Let me tell you now, I’m not a 50-year-old man and when you’re in the opposite corner, and you’re getting hit all about the head, blue flashes, you’re going to wake up and realise what boxing is.

      “And listen, I don’t think they brought him here to lose either, because he’s good for fighting and is good for boxing.
      “He makes more money than the champions of boxing. So he’s an enigma.”

      The ‘Problem Child’ spoke exclusively to Piers Morgan Uncensored
      The two bitter foes faced the media in the Middle East this afternoon ahead of the showdown and needed Derek Chisora to stop them from coming to blows.
      The trouble erupted after Paul threw out a stunning ALL OR NOTHING wager – which was accepted by Fury.
      And the confident American YouTuber is adamant that he has already worked out a plan to down the 8-0 former Love Island star.
      As part of the pre-fight build-up, the 26-year-old appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Talk TV.

      And he said: “I love it man, I love big moments, I love the high stakes. This is what I came into this sport to do, to put on big pay per views, big events.
      “I’m putting it all on the line – the bigger the risk the bigger the reward. 
      “It’s the UK versus the US. It’s the Furys versus the Pauls and I have to go out there and prove I can beat a professional boxer because that’s been the number one criticism of my career, so far. So I’m super excited about this.”
      When asked about how much money he has made and will earn from this bout, Paul laughed and said: “A lot, a lot.

      “It gets to a point where you make so much, you don’t even count it any more. So yeah, I don’t really know.
      “I promise you Piers Morgan, I have no idea. I make money in lump sums, residuals, investments, equity, exits of companies. So the net worth is always going up and down, you are moving with the markets and such.
      “I mean it when I say, you stop paying attention at some point. To me the money is great, but I really love boxing and this is what I was put on earth to do. 
      “When I first started out, I wasn’t getting paid like I am getting paid now to box all these guys. This is as of two, three years ago… I would be doing this regardless of the money.”
      And when Morgan asked whether he had any doubts about if he will win, the confident Paul replied: “No I don’t. I’m confident in my preparation.
      “Anything can happen in a boxing match but you work to make those things not happen and he just doesn’t have the power, the capabilities to do anything to be able to defeat me and that’s why I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is because talk is cheap and that’s why I’m putting it all on the line on Sunday night.
