      His last professional fight came against Tony Bellew in 2018, but Haye has remained in the headlines since his retirement due to his relationship situation.
      Haye’s girlfriend is Sian Osborne, 11 years his younger, who he reportedly met when she began modelling for his Black Mask Company.
      However, in more recent times, the pair have been spotted with a third celebrity.
      The Brit is also believed to be dating The Saturday’s pop star Una Healy after rumours of a unique throuple were reignited.

      Una is believed to have jetted abroad with Haye and Sian earlier this week.
      But she was nowhere to be seen at the birthday bash as the former two-weight world champion threw Sian an incredible party in Costa Rica to celebrate her 31st in style.
      Haye took to Instagram to share a number of snaps and several video clips of their stunning surroundings.
      The ex-boxer poses topless while Sian stuns in a white dress in one picture in front of a pool.

      In others they enjoy a romantic sunset on the beach, lunch with a bottle of bubbly and are even joined by a scorpion on the sand.
      Videos also show a gathering inside a stylish resort overlooking the ocean.
      Haye captioned the post: “What a beautiful 31st anniversary of the birth of my companion and co-conspirator, @sian.rosemarie.
      “What a wonderful celebration we had, with the beautiful residents of the Santa Teresa jungle town, who all brought nothing but succulent Pura Vida vibes.
      “How Sian puts up with my insatiable unquenchable thirst for living life as though we’ve only 6 months remaining, I’ll never know!
      “She obviously holds within her heart the wisdom that the juice is always worth the squeeze. Let’s keep squeezing!!”
      And it contained a nod to Una, who last week shared pictures and video of her sun-kissed holiday, captioned: “Pura Vida.”

      She shared clips of herself looking glam ahead of the party, playing a guitar, relaxing on a boat on the beautiful ocean, the stunning sunset and a clip of their plane landing and captioned it with: “Pura Vida.”
      David has been in a relationship with Sian since 2020.
      Una was married to ex-rugby star Ben Foden between 2012 and 2018. The former England rugby union star remarried Jackie Belanoff Smith almost a year to the day after their split.
      Last month, The Sun revealed that David is in a three-way relationship with Sian and Una.

      The “throuple” grew close last year, then spent time together in London over Christmas before a New Year getaway to Marrakech.
      The trio have told family and friends of their arrangement.

      ‘Demolition job’ – Tommy Fury’s girlfriend Molly-Mae hits back at Jake Paul over YouTuber revealing she gave birth

      by

      MOLLY-MAE HAGUE, the girlfriend of Tommy Fury, has fired back at Jake Paul after he announced the birth of their child.Paul, 26, is set to face Fury in a highly-anticipated fight in Saudi Arabia on February 26.

      Just days after the clash was confirmed last month, Molly-Mae welcomed daughter Bambi into the world.
      But the pair had not publicly said anything about the birth when Paul came out and revealed the news.
      Now Molly-Mae has responded with a short, sharp comment to the internet star.
      Speaking in one of her YouTube vlogs, Fury referenced his bout with Paul by saying: “26th Feb, be there or be square”.
      READ MORE ON TOMMY FURY
      Molly-Mae then swiftly added: “For a demolition job!”
      Paul gave an apology of sorts after revealing Bambi’s birth, telling SportBible; “Did I do that? I leaked it? Oh s***. My bad. I’m sorry, Tommy.
      “But don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone the gender or anything like that.”
      However, he quickly switched back to trash-talking the Love Island star when Fury failed to show up to their press conference in Riyadh on Wednesday.

      Commenting on Fury’s absence, which was due to training responsibilities and “private matters”, Paul said: “I’m used to his behaviour at this point, he’s unprofessional and he’s a flake.
      “He’s not a serious businessman or a serious fighter and I’m going to prove that. It’s why this fight is called, ‘The Truth’, because the truth is going to come out. He’s going to have to pay for all of the times he’s pulled out.
      “All the business people he screwed over, it’s disrespectful. There’s some of the biggest names in boxing, the biggest promoters and most influential people in the world.
      “One of the greatest countries in the world and he doesn’t want to show up because of a ‘private matter’. We all have private matters.
      “When you sign up to do something, you make a commitment, that’s what it should be about.
      “It just shows me he’s scared because he said he didn’t need to train for this fight. Meanwhile, his first excuse was that he needed to train extra, but now it’s a private matter.
      “I love Tyson but it’s typical from the dad [John] and Tommy.”
      Fury’s failure to turn up to the presser has led to concerns over whether the bout will go ahead.
      He has pulled out of the fight twice in the past, but attempted to reassure fans in a recent interview.
      He told MMA Fighting: “I can clear that up in two seconds [the press conference no-show].
      “Basically, Jake Paul signed up into the world of professional boxing and I am a professional athlete, a professional boxer.
      “I always have been and [ask] any professional boxer and they’ll tell you this.
      “No one breaks camp, mid to the end [of training camp] to fly all the way to Saudi Arabia, have a 10-minute press conference, fly all the way back to Manchester, complete my camp then fly all the way back to Saudi Arabia again the following week.
      Read More on The Sun
      “Now why the press conference couldn’t wait until a week later on fight week is beyond me.
      “Most big fights, they schedule press conferences on fight week. I don’t know what is going on there.” More

      Anthony Joshua reveals why Usyk calling him ‘strong’ sent him into post-fight rage that saw him toss belts out of ring

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has opened up on what caused his post-fight rage following defeat to Oleksandr Usyk. AJ was beaten by the Ukrainian master for the second time in the space of 11 months in Saudi Arabia last August.

      And he went onto grab the microphone and produce a bizarre post-fight rant after throwing Usyk’s belts out of the ring.
      Joshua – who had ex-opponent Wladimir Klitschko apologise for his actions – revealed being called “strong” triggered the anger.
      He told BBC 5 Live: “There was certain things in the ring that was said – not excuses.
      “But one of them was like, ‘You are big and strong – you’re strong.’
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “Remember, a lot of athletes from African-Caribbean community are told that they are strong and I feel like it’s quite kind of degrading because we don’t get mentioned about or talent.
      “So when he said, I’m big and strong it was just like the alarm f*****g bells – sorry about my language. The alarm bells went off.
      “So, there’s loads of things that are triggering me at the time. But it’s just pure and uncut emotion because it’s more than being big and strong – it’s passion, it’s drive, it’s work.”
      Joshua, 33, now returns on April 1 against Jermaine Franklin, 29, the American beaten by Dillian Whyte, 34, in November.

      AJ took the rest of 2022 off following his crushing loss and emotional breakdown.
      And he reached out to boxing legend Klitschko, 46, the man he beat in 2017, to apologise to countryman Usyk, 36.
      He said: “Listen, I’m not perfect and it’s not the right thing to have done.
      “I didn’t speak to Usyk, I spoke to Wladimir, I said, ‘Look, give Usyk a pat on the shoulder, tell him well done and I apologise.
      “Know what I’m saying? That’s man to man. But, it was just raw. Uncut and it may not make sense to a lot of people but it made a lot of sense to me.
      “It was just how much it means to a degree. I thought I’d feel like that at the end of my career – when it’s said and done.
      “I think that’s when I’ll just be like, ‘Wow, what a rollercoaster.'”
      Joshua was also overcome with emotion after the realisation of missing out on a dream unification fight with Tyson Fury, 34.
      He added: “I made it through the trenches but I feel like getting close to fighting for the undisputed title with Fury that people want so much.”
