      And in full voice, he shouted: “Tommy, if you can hear me, you a bitch, bro and you’re gassing out.
      “You a bitch, the whole Fury family are a bitch.”
      The comments did not go down well with John, who told The Express, via Free Bets: “Absolutely disgusting.
      “Him piping up in a fight like that is not professional, but it just shows you that you are dealing with adolescent children, aren’t you?

      “Because the comments during the fight are just ridiculous. That’s not professional.
      “It doesn’t work, it’s bad for the viewers, it’s bad for everybody involved in it, in the game.
      “But it is what it is, they are what they are, they’re YouTubers. They’ll do anything.
      “They’ll give their left nut up for a viewing figure and he obviously thought it would enhance his status as a YouTuber coming out with all that stupidity. But we knew it was coming anyway.”

      Logan, 27, revealed he tried to get into Tommy’s head with the goad only for it to backfire.
      He said on his podcast: “Some people seem to be upset that I cut a promo mid-fight.
      “What I was trying to do was – because I was on the mic – and you can hear it in the arena and I knew Tommy was sitting in his corner.
      “And Jake was losing, so I just tried to talk s*** and get in Tommy’s head. The issue is, it just p****d him off.
      “Because the round started and he just f****g unleashed a gnarly combination on Jake. I was like, ‘I just made him mad.'”
      Fury, 23, edged past Paul, 26, by split-decision and although they remain linked with a summer rematch, John said NO talks have taken place.
      He revealed: “It depends on what they want to do, but at the moment, Tommy’s put a hard training camp in.
      “We spent 10 weeks in camps, one, two months ready. So, you know, it’s probably going to be later on in the year.
      “I’ve not spoke to people connected to either, you know, so I think Jake Paul’s having a rest, just like we are, and his team and his people, we’ll be on it in due course. We’ve not spoken about anything yet.”

      Tommy had vowed to bury his bitter feud with Paul in the Diriyah desert before continuing to build up his boxing record the hard way.
      But after getting a taste of a mega-money payday, John wants his boy to cash in while he can.
      John told The Express, via Free Bets: “I think at this moment in time conventional boxing will have to go on the backburner because boxing is a business, and you have to go where the money is.
      “Whoever is a big name, who brings stuff to the table we’re interested in. Yep, we’re interested in KSI, he can have it next if he wants.

      “We’re interested in the Salt Papi’s of the world, everybody with a name who thinks they can have a go, can have a go. Even with conventional boxing.
      “If they want to pay the same sort of money as these guys are paying, we’ll do the conventional boxing as well, but, after where we’ve been you can’t really box at York Hall, can you?”
      KSI, 29, has had six bouts with no defeats and one draw while Salt Papi, 29, is 3-0 with two knockouts.
      John said: “I think that Salt Papi is quite good. I’ve only seen bits of him, but he brings a lot to the table.

      “So, if he wants it call me. If KSI wants it call me. Whoever wants it, call me. As long as the money is right and it makes business sense we are there.”
      Tommy, 23, is linked with a summer rematch against Paul, 26, but John admitted no official talks have yet taken place.
      He said: “It depends on what they want to do, but at the moment, Tommy’s put a hard training camp in.

      Meet Amber O’Donnell, OnlyFans model fighting Emily Brooke who was blasted by neighbour for ‘always having t**s out’

      by

      IT’S only March but OnlyFans model Amber O’Donnell has already had quite the year. Along with becoming the latest celebrity to sign up for the highly-anticipated Kingpyn boxing tournament, the star has also made headlines for less pleasant reasons.

      The Tik-Tok stunner could become a fan favourite when she brings her drama to the ringCredit: Twitter
      Amber, from South Yorkshire, was involved in a shoving match with Elle Brooke’s sister Emily earlier this week as her Kingpyn involvement was announced.
      And earlier this year she was berated by a neighbour for being too loud and “always having her t**s” out on TikTok.
      Drama simply appears to follow 24-year-old Amber around and boxing fans can expect to see much more of her in the coming months.
      Influencer entering “crossover” boxing is a growing industry, with Floyd Mayweather’s fight with Aaron Chalmers last month directly preceded by a bizarre clash between two female reality TV rivals.

      Kingpyn’s High Stakes matches could push the trend even further and it has been dubbed the “biggest influencer boxing tournament” ever.
      The Brooke sisters and Amber are among 16 influencer fighters taking part in three separate events.
      And although the fighting does not officially begin until the first round at the OVO Arena on April 22, Emily and Amber almost came to blows at the quarter-final draw earlier this week.
      After being pitted together the pair met on stage and it quickly became feisty.

      Emily leaned her forehead into Amber and the OnlyFans star responded with a push.
      The two had to be separated but then began exchanging verbals.
      But Emily’s insults would be nothing compared to the incredible onslaught that Amber faced when she annoyed her neighbour “Sharon”.
      The model was making a TikTok in her car and discussing pancakes when she received a knock on her window from her neighbour.
      Sharon did not hold back as she said: “You need to stop now. You’re being really loud. I just got home from work and all I can hear is you.”

      Amber said she was only making the videos as part of her job, but Sharon was not having it and left Amber totally stunned as she went off on a rant.
      She said: “I’ve just come from my actual job and I really don’t want to hear it. You’re in your windows with your t*ts out and I’ve had enough. It’s not just me who thinks it, it’s the rest of the neighbors as well. They’re clear, it’s all I can see is you, every f**king day!”
      Amber will be looking to create more noise and stir up more controversy when she launches her boxing career next month. More

      Tyson Fury’s dad says he advised son to offer Oleksandr Usyk 70/30 deal and fight will be ‘a walk in the park’

      by

      JOHN FURY has claimed he advised his son Tyson to offer Oleksandr Usyk a 70/30 deal and said the fight will be “a walk in the park.” Usyk’s team believe they have called their rival’s bluff by agreeing to his lowball deal for a title unification on April 29 at Wembley.

      But Fury’s dad John has stood by their demand for the lions share believing his son is the star attraction.
      He told Boxing Social via Freebets.com: “Whoever he fights in the world is not going to make a quarter what he’s been offered.
      “So, you know, it makes good sense for him to take what’s on the table, or else Tyson won’t do it, because he knows his worth, and I know his worth.
      “I don’t get involved in his business, but I do give him a little bit of advice, and I say, look, stick to your guns.

      “You’re the WBC champ, you’re the A-side, you’re the one putting 95,000 people on seats in the cold weather, and 60,000 in freezing cold conditions.
      “What does Usyk bring? If he fights Dubois or Joe Joyce, what’s he going to get paid for that?
      “We’re seeing nothing compared to what he can make with Tyson, because 30 per cent is a lot of money, when there’s a large amount the table.”
      Usyk’s team voiced concerns over Fury’s desire to actually fight or not, amid rows over a rematch clause.

      “He’s been in one of the most dangerous fights in the world with Deontay Wilder, so Usyk poses no threat at all.”

      “I’ll be in boxing because it’s a passion of mine and I’ll always revert back to being that old man and saying, ‘Did I really give it my best shot?’
      “Because I know if I give it my best shot my name can go down in history. I can achieve winning one world title belt because there’s a lot worse men than me who have done it and I’ve got the drive and determination to get me there.
      “I’m still eager to learn, win titles and go down as a proper boxer. I don’t want to be known as one of these guys who made a lot of money fighting idiots and then retired and left the sport. 
      “I want to be remembered as Tommy Fury, ‘He made great money fighting YouTube stars and then stuck to boxing and retired with a world title’. That’ll be happiness for me and I will achieve it.”

      Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou is an absolute mismatch and a freak show, slams Tony Bellew amid fight talks

      by

      TONY BELLEW said Tyson Fury fighting Francis Ngannou is both a mismatch and freak show. Ngannou is eyeing a boxing switch after leaving the UFC following a breakdown in contract talks.

      The ex-UFC heavyweight champion has confirmed discussions with Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder’s team.
      But Fury is also in the mix despite his ongoing negotiations to unify the division against Oleksandr Usyk.
      And Bellew has slammed the thought of the Gypsy King fighting anyone other than Usyk next, in particular Ngannou.
      He told talkSPORT: “He’s always going to want the Joshua one because it will be the biggest payday of his whole life, so he’s always going to want that fight.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “But, is there anything left in the sport to achieve if he beats Oleksandr Usyk? Absolutely not.
      “I’ve heard about the freak shows that he wants to face Francis Ngannou. That would be an absolute mismatch, that’s a joke.
      “He’s a former UFC heavyweight champion, that cannot be seen to be happening, so it’s Oleksandr Usyk or nobody else.”
      Ngannou, 36, appears to be closing in on a two-fight deal with Wilder, 37, with the pair talking up a blockbuster in Africa.

      Fury, 34, and Usyk, 36, are still going back and forth online over a undisputed title decider on April 29 at Wembley.
      And Bellew predicted: “Tyson Fury’s style has changed over these last few years he’s no longer this big awkward fighter, who uses his elusiveness as an advantage.
      “That change of style will play into Oleksandr Usyk’s hands, it really will, and I’m tipping Oleksandr Usyk to win.”

      Joe Joyce desperate for Tyson Fury to fight Oleksandr Usyk so he can take on winner for all the belts

      JOE JOYCE hopes Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk happens so he can fight the winner and leave damaged Daniel Dubois out of the firing line.The 37-year-old Putney Juggernaut is as frustrated as any other boxing fan at the ongoing negotiations between Ukraine’s WBA, IBF and WBO champ and the goal-post moving WBC Gypsy King.

      Daniel Dubois could end up facing Usyk if the Fury fight falls throughCredit: Getty
      If the undisputed decider happens on April 29 then the Olympic silver medalist – who lost to Usyk as a novice amateur – would be high in the queue to face the winner thanks to his WBO mandatory position.
      But 25-year-old Daniel Dubois is ahead of him chronologically as the WBA need to have their mandatory first – even though Joyce handily beat his fellow Londoner in a 2020 clash.
      Ahead of his April 15 battle with Chinese giant Zhilei Zhang, Joyce told SunSport: “I hope it gets done because it should keep things straight forward.
      “In theory, Fury and Usyk will fight, I will beat Zhang and fight the winner.

      “I have always got on well with Fury, sparred him a couple of times and he has always spoken well about me so I hope to fight them both at some stage.
      “It would just be better to fight one of them for all of the belts.
      “I know the WBA is the next mandatory to be called – and that’s Dubois – but I don’t think he is ready.
      “I saw his last fight at Tottenham stadium where he was almost knocked out so he would get slapped up by Usyk or Fury!”

      Fury has continued to move the goalposts for his historic showdown with Usyk.
      And the Ukranian’s team are doubtful the fight will come to fruition.
      Promoter Alexander Krassuyk told talkSPORT: “As Usyk said, the greedy belly is still hoping to find a way to pull out.
      “We knew before and know it now.
      “As soon as Usyk accepts a no rematch clause there will still be searching for another thing to find and pull out the fight.
      “I tell you why. He bluffed and Usyk called his bluff. This is 100 per cent. He didn’t expect Usyk to accept 70/30.
