    Most people with little to no combat experience would dip their toes in the water with a fellow rookie – but not Little.
    Little decided to kebab box none other than interim WBO light-middleweight champion Tim Tsyzu.
    And unsurprisingly, he didn’t make it out of the first round with the Sydney slugger.
    Little – who donned a kebab suit – tried his best to hang with Tsyzu but ended up collapsing to the canvas after eating two nasty body shots a mere 11 seconds into the stanza.

    The 38-year-old joked: “I’m going to leave the judges out of it and award you the win.”
    The aftermath of the bout, however, was far from a joke as Little was left in agony due to a cracked rib.
    He said: “I can’t cough, sneeze, burp, fart, have sex, breathe deeply so I went to get a scan.
    “Great news, lung not collapsed. My rib is broken – I heard it crack when he hit me.”

    Tsyzu, 28, is due to return to the ring on June 18 for a showdown with Carlos Ocampos.
    But the fight is seemingly in doubt after he had his right arm savaged by a dog at a barbeque.
    Tsyzu – the son of former Ricky Hatton opponent Kosta – underwent emergency surgery but his team are confident it won’t scupper the Queensland clash.
    Manager Glen Jennings said: “The wound was superficial.
    “The post-surgical report is all good.
    “There is no doubt that Tim will be ready and 100 per cent healthy and focused to take on Carlos Ocampo on June 18.”

    The Caribbean Realty Group say the house was initially listed at $19,995,000 (£16.1m) until Paul came to an agreement with Molina.

    Worried fans tell Anthony Joshua to wear SAFETY GOGGLES as heavyweight star’s new training method goes wrong

    ANTHONY JOSHUA had his fans fearing for his safety after showing off a gruelling new training method. The heavyweight star is back in Texas training for his next fight under coach Derrick James in his Dallas gym.

    And AJ shared footage of some old-school training techniques of chopping wood, used as a strength and conditioning exercise.
    But fans were left urging Joshua to put some safety goggles on to avoid any chopped up wood getting in his eyes.
    One said: “Gotta put on them safety goggles.”
    Another agreed: “Put some goggles on man safety first.”

    One added: “Need safety goggles though.”
    Joshua, 33, returned with victory in April against Jermaine Franklin, 29, in what was also his first fight under James’ guidance.
    And promoter Eddie Hearn hoped it would be the first of three bouts in 2023 to keep the newly-formed pair active.
    But that was until Hearn led talks for AJ to face Deontay Wilder, 37, in a December super-fight in Saudi Arabia.

    No formal offer has yet been lodged by the mega-rich backers in the Middle East, meaning AJ is leaving the door open to a bout in the interim.
    And Hearn revealed if they are to take a fight to help prepare for Wilder, it will likely fall on August 12.
    Dillian Whyte, 35, had been in the running for a rematch with Joshua following his 2015 and Hearn teased a proposal could be sent.
    He told Boxing News: “There’s others but that’s the fight that I think makes sense.
    “We’re talking to DAZN about it and we expect to make a formal offer to Dillian Whyte but we’ll see what plays out in the Middle East as well.”

    Paul revealed he found the insult funny but absolutely butchered an attempt at impersonating the UFC legend.
    He said on Logan’s Impaulsive podcast: “I think Conor McGregor is funny as f***.
    “Like when I watch him talk shit about me and he’s like, ‘Oh yeah, that lad he’s a bit windy. He’s a bit windy and he’s a f*****g donkey.’ 
    “I don’t know how to do it, but I’m like, Yeah, bro. But guess what Conor? I’d beat the f*****g f*** out of you and you can’t box as good as me.

    “I’m going to do to Nate what you couldn’t which is knock him the f*** out and you’re going to be sitting there with your new beer company – that’s is failing – drinking it, drunk as f***, realising that you p****d your life away drinking at the end of the bottle. 
    “And you’re gonna say, ‘Damn, I really thought no one was going to do what I did in this sport, I really thought no one was going to be as big of a name, I really thought I was going to be the biggest forever.’ 
    “But you can’t choose and you can’t have both lives.” 
    Paul, 26, has continued to call out McGregor, 34, ever since his professional boxing debut in 2020.

    He returns against McGregor’s ex-opponent Diaz, 38, in Texas just six months after suffering his first loss, to Tommy Fury, 24.
    Meanwhile, McGregor is set to make his UFC comeback this year against Michael Chandler, 37, after two years out with injury.
    The former two-weight champion has boxed just once before, losing to American great Floyd Mayweather in 2017.
    But he needed special permission from the UFC to do so as Paul took a swipe at McGregor and Dana White.
    He said: “That money fight will always be there and when I knock Nate Diaz the f*** out and you realise I’m the biggest fight for you, call me. 
    “And I’ll answer, and I’m my own boss, I make my own decisions.
    “I’m not controlled by Dana White, I don’t have a dad so I can make the fight happen. 
    “But if Dana lets you make the fight happen then we can run it.”

    Anthony Joshua ‘laughed’ at Tyson Fury’s latest fight offer after Gypsy King agrees to face THREE other opponents

    It came after reports emerged that Australian pair Jai Opetaia and Demsey McKean have been in talks to fight Fury Down Under.
    Meanwhile, WBC champion Fury was also going back and forth with UFC champion Jon Jones over a crossover showdown.
    So promoter Eddie Hearn admitted it was hard for Joshua, 33, to take Fury’s social media call-out seriously.
    Hearn told iFL TV: “I spoke to AJ, AJ laughed and said, ‘Isn’t he fighting Jai Opetaia, or Demsey McKean, or Jon Jones?

    “I said, ‘No. They’re telling us they want to fight you.’ I’ll go through the process and see how real this is. I believe George Warren.
    “I think they’re in a really difficult spot. Tyson Fury, he wants big money fights and AJ is the money fight for him but no back and forth, just ‘we’ll talk’.”
    Joshua returned with a victory in April over Jermaine Franklin, 29, following consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, 36.
    And soon after, Hearn began leading talks for AJ to fight Deontay Wilder, 37, in Saudi Arabia in December.

    It could see Joshua returning beforehand in an August interim bout, leaving Fury, 34, out of the equation.
    Hearn said: “Right now, our plan remains the same, August and Deontay Wilder in December so we’ll see what happens in Saudi Arabia this week.
    “That’s our plan, that’s what we’re moving forward with this week, if we can’t make that happen, we’ll 100 per cent look at the Tyson Fury fight.”
