    But after Tempo Arts had walked to the ring, Godson was nowhere to be seen.
    The YouTuber’s music played three times but he failed to emerge as the crowd were left baffled.
    Following a 10-minute wait, he eventually emerged flanked by hip hop duo Krept and Konan.
    And the fight got underway shortly after 7pm as those inside Telford’s International Centre were finally treated to some action.

    Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk ‘not far off’ being scrapped as promoter reveals decision to axe fight will be imminent

    TYSON FURY’S undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk is “not far off” collapsing, according to promoter Frank Warren.The Gypsy King, 34, has been in talks with the Ukrainian’s team ever since he successfully defended his WBC crown against Derek Chisora in December.

    A clash in Saudi Arabia appeared to be the most likely location for the bout – which would see all four world heavyweight titles on the line.
    But a failure to secure a site fee in the Middle East has left them looking at Wembley on April 29.
    However, Fury’s promoter Warren has now cast doubts about the fight taking place at all.
    Speaking to iFL TV, he said: “We’re getting to a situation where one way or another we’re going to have to make a decision.

    “And we’re not far off that.”
    Fury and Usyk are both undefeated as professionals and widely regarded as the two best heavyweights in the world.
    Since moving up from cruiserweight, Usyk has beaten Derek Chisora and Anthony Joshua twice.
    But before that, Fury ended Wladimir Klitschko’s reign with a superb win in 2015 and then left the sport for three years due to mental health issues.

    He returned in 2018 and has gone on to beat Deontay Wilder on two occasions, as well as Dillian Whyte and Chisora.
    If a Fury-Usyk fight does not materialise, an all-British dust-up with Joe Joyce could be next up for the WBC champion.
    Last month, Warren hinted at a summer clash between his two men Fury and Joyce.
    Joyce is set to face Chinese heavyweight Zhilei Zhang at the Copper Box Arena on April 15 as he awaits a world title shot.
    But he could be thrown into a Fury clash instead should the opportunity arise.
    Speaking in a recent column, Warren said: “Our big hope, of course, is that the Juggernaut [Joyce] remains on a collision course with Tyson Fury and a big summer date at Wembley.
    “That is the plan if Tyson takes all the titles from Oleksandr Usyk and Joe does the business on April 15 in Stratford.” More

    And the two rivals have made a bet that will see the loser changing her name across all her channels in exchange for an embarrassing nickname chosen by the winner.
    AJ was the one who came up with the idea and agreed to put her own reputation on the line.
    The reality star warned her opponent she will have to go by “Astrid Wett wipe” if she beats her.
    AJ said during the pre-match press conference: “I’m very confident, yes shall we do a fun bet?

    “So if I beat you, you have to change all your names on social media to Astrid Wett wipe.
    “You can change my name on socials if you win.”
    Astrid accepted on the condition that AJ agrees to go by “AJ Flunker” if she loses.
    The model responded: “I’m not very creative but AJ Flunker, we have a deal.”

    ‘Size matters’ – Tyson Fury reveals reason Deontay Wilder was never able to KO him despite FOUR knockdowns

    TYSON FURY claims he survived four thunderbolt knockdowns in his Deontay Wilder trilogy because “size matters”.Fury was floored two times in drawing his opener with the world’s hardest hitter and got up twice more in the second of two wins that followed.
    Tyson Fury admits he knew nothing about what was going on when Deontay Wilder downed him twice in their trilogy contest in October 2021Credit: Getty
    Fury’s size, power, skill and determination earned him two victories over Wilder after they drew their initial boutCredit: Getty
    And he reckons Wilder could never KO him due to his gargantuan frame.
    TalkSPORT’s Michael Benson reports Britain’s unbeaten heavyweight king as saying: “I think my sheer size and weight has a lot to do with him not being able to knock me out cold.
    “He hits a guy 6ft 3ins and 225lbs, they’re nailed to the canvas. But a guy 6ft 9ins and 277lbs – size matters.”
    Talks over Fury fighting Oleksandr Usyk in a title unifier on April 29 appear to have stalled.
    READ MORE ON TYSON FURY
    And a fourth clash with Wilder, plus a bout with Anthony Joshua, are also possible.
    But the Gypsy King, 34, has no doubt the Bronze Bomber has given him the severest tests in his 33 victories and single draw.
    Fury said: “My most formidable opponent was Deontay Wilder.
    “All three times it could’ve been curtains for me at any second. He knocked out every single person that he ever fought, apart from me.

    CASINO SPECIAL – BEST NEW CUSTOMER SIGN UP DEALS
    “I’d back him to beat everybody in the division apart from myself.”
    Fury recovered from an almighty knock-down in the 12th round of his first fight with Wilder in August 2018 to deserve more than his draw.
    And in February 2020 he dominated the American, flooring him twice on the way to a seventh-round KO.
    But Fury said he had to overcome mental health issues in a thrilling trilogy conclusion in October 2021.
    And he admitted afterwards he didn’t know what had happened to him when he was twice flattened.
    In the end, though, he triumphed via a stoppage in the final round.
    Fury said at the time only someone “made of something a little bit different” could have come back from Wilder’s “absolutely massive” punches. More
