    Footage shows the moment two young men in hooded jumpers make their way onto Caswell’s driveway.
    The pair are seen approaching the house and then looking over the side of the property in the early hours of January 8.
    Caswell, who was born in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, suddenly appears out of nowhere, shirtless, ready to take on the duo.
    He’s heard yelling “come on you little c**ts,” before chasing them down the street.

    The pair set off with Caswell behind them, but they managed to flee unharmed.
    Caswell’s fellow fighter and friend Demsey McKean uploaded the footage to social media.
    McKean said his mate’s response to finding two people was to be expected.
    He told the Queensland Times: “Casey doing what anyone man would do.

    “This is how to deal with low-life rats that try to break into your house.
    “Not how Casey Caswell wanted to start his early Sunday morning, no doubt.
    “Woke up to see two thieves walking around his car and front property about to jump the fence. So he ran out there and chased them off down the road.
    “My mate is a professional fighter and an Australasian champion. They picked the wrong house to mess with.”
    McKean alleged the pair had been spotted around the neighbourhood, which is one of the “nicer” parts of the area.
    He alleged one of the men was slightly older and was carrying a knife.
    The sportsman continued: “They were spotted at another house in the community at 3.30am so they were doing the rounds.” More

    And talks over a spring showdown with Aussie southpaw Demsey McKean – a training partner for two of his previous fight camps – are currently underway.
    McKean told Sky Sports: “We are one of the frontrunners for a possible opponent for Anthony Joshua.
    “I could be (the man to retire Joshua) and I am very confident I can do that.
    “But don’t get me wrong, there is still more fights for AJ. If he loses to me, a top-10 heavyweight as well, that shouldn’t be the end.

    “People probably don’t give him the credit he deserves, what he has done for the heavyweight game.
    “He has brought a lot of eyes and money into the heavyweight division.
    “He is probably the biggest name in boxing, everyone is after him, including me. It is the name to have on your resume.
    “There are still fights to be made and people are still going to pay to watch those fights.

    “But three losses in a row, does he need to keep doing this, he is well set up now?
    “He probably still has his doubts, he still doubts himself a lot, I know that.
    “But who wouldn’t when they are at the top, in the limelight and cop a lot of criticism.
    “There are a lot of factors but I have the skills to do that (retire him) for sure.”
    COULD GO SOUTHPAW
    Although talks are progressing well, McKean believes the fact he’s a southpaw could scupper the bout.
    He said: “I feel confident if that fight goes through. The only doubt I have is that he doesn’t want to fight a southpaw.
    “It would be a shame. I have been on the brink of some very big fights myself. I have come close to fighting Dillian Whyte as well.
    “I think it is sad that some of the elite boxers in the world pick and choose who they fight. We would not have had this back in the old days.
    “Even with Tyson Fury a few years ago, when his fight fell through with Deontay Wilder and he was looking for a last-minute replacement. And again it came down to not wanting to fight a southpaw.
    “The world has gone mad, and all these so-called champion boxers don’t want to fight a southpaw. Let’s hope he [Joshua mans up] and fights this time.”
    Joshua and McKean, 33 and 32 respectively, know each other all too well having taken part in several hard rounds.
    And the undefeated ‘Machine’ is confident of putting what could potentially be the final nail into the coffin of AJ’s glittering career.
    He said: “I have been sparing with him for years, I have been in his camp twice.
    “He knows it is going to be a hard fight, by the rounds I give these guys.

    “He is a smooth operator, there aren’t too many who move like him. His size is an advantage and disadvantage for him.”
    Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua is set to jet out to the USA next week to begin working with new coach Derrick James.

    KSI admits to being inspired back to boxing by rival Jake Paul but reveals why he will NEVER fight on after grudge match

    KSI admits he has been inspired back to boxing by bitter rival Jake Paul – but insists their grudge match will be the end of his fight career. The pair of YouTube foes are in talks to put bragging rights and reputations on the line this year.

    Jake Paul has become a 6-0 star and silenced many critics in the processCredit: Esther Lin/SHOWTIME
    Paul is desperate for revenge after KSI took his brother Logan to a draw in 2018 only to win the rematch a year later.
    That victory saw KSI – real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji – take three years out of the ring to focus on his fledging music career.
    But while doing so, Paul made a name for himself in the fight game and has quickly become a pay-per-view star at 6-0 in the process.
    Finally settling the score between the sworn enemies is what convinced KSI back to boxing.

    But if he adds another Paul scalp to his collection, it will also be enough to see the social media sensation hang his gloves up for good.
    KSI, 29, told SunSport: “I know after Jake it’s done. I’d have no desire to continue.”
    Paul, 25, in January 2020 won against KSI’s close friend AnEsonGib, with the Brit ringside to see it.
    The American influencer has since beaten the likes of ex-UFC champions Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 46.
    Most read in Boxing
    It has cast doubt on KSI’s chances of beating Paul, which is the same fuel he used to beat brother Logan, 27.
    KSI said: “For me, after Logan I was like, ‘Alright, that’s it, it’s done.’ There was no one after it that I was like, ‘I want to fight this person.’ 
    “I beat the best person in this whole influencer space, why else do I need to fight anyone else? 
    “I was like cool I’ll focus on music, focus on the foundation of music and making sure it was where I wanted it to be. 
    “Then Jake really started picking up steam and I bigged Gib up to beat him and then he was able to beat Gib. 
    “Obviously Jake’s beaten all these other people and everyone thinks, ‘He’d destroy KSI.’ 
    “I was like, ‘Nah, nah, nah, nah. They have short-term memories, I swear. Do you not understand what I did when I fought Logan?
    “I wasn’t even at the best of my abilities when I beat Logan. Everything was in his favour, I had to gain weight to reach Logan’s level. 
    “All these things were in Logan’s favour and I was still able to overcome it. I had no interest in fighting again and now everyone thinks Jake Paul is that guy. 
    I know after Jake it’s done. I’d have no desire to continue.KSI on his boxing career
    “It piqued my interest and I was like, ‘OK cool, new goal: let me come back to boxing and I’ll knock him out.’ After that, I won’t have a goal again. I’ll be good.” 
    KSI first returned in August and made up for lost time by beating rapper Swarmz, 26, and boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23, on the SAME NIGHT.
    He was due to face Dillon Danis, 29, on Saturday but the 2-0 MMA fighter pulled out.
    KSI will instead fight gamer Faze Temperrr, 29, who has two wins and one loss in the ring, live on DAZN PPV.
    And it is all one step closer in KSI’s eventual plan to fight and retire from boxing after getting his hands on Paul at last.
    He said: “I don’t care who’s in front of me, I just know that I’ll destroy them. 

    “For me my main goal is Jake Paul and I don’t want to fight Jake Paul instantly because I know once I fight him and beat him then it’s done. 
    “I wouldn’t want to fight anymore because I wouldn’t have any more goals in boxing, I would have achieved what I strived for. 
    “I’m quite a goal-driven person, so once I get my goal I’m like, ‘OK, on to the next thing.’ 
    Read More on The Sun
    “For me, I’m just kind of enjoying the whole boxing space and enjoying and training, getting better and improving as a person and as a human physically and mentally. 
    “I’m like, do you know what? Let me have a few fights under my belt just so I’m the best of the best that I can be, then fight Jake and show him he’s absolutely nothing.”

    “I’ve seen her come in the gym every single day, work just as hard as all of us, she’s so dedicated and she’s so disciplined.
    “She listens, just because of the whole YouTube fame and the TokTik fame and all of that stuff, doesn’t mean she doesn’t take it seriously because she’s fallen in love with it and she does take it seriously.
    “The only difference is, instead of doing the amateurs like you would when you first start out and put on gloves and no one sees it, these TikTokers and YouTubers are having their first few fights with like this huge audience.
    “So we’re looking at them going, ‘Oh, they can’t box, they can’t do this and that.’ Of course they can’t, they’re novices.”

    Tyson Fury to fight THREE times in 2023 with Oleksandr Usyk and Joe Joyce eyed… but Anthony Joshua left in the lurch

    TYSON FURY is in line to fight THREE times in 2023 against the likes of Oleksandr Usyk and Joe Joyce… but not Anthony Joshua. Fury and Usyk are currently in talks for the heavyweight division’s first ever four-belt unification bout, which is eyed for March.

    And unbeaten contender Joyce, 37, is primed to contest the winner while standing as the mandatory challenger for the WBO belt.
    It potentially sets Fury, 34, up for a hectic year with his promoter Frank Warren hoping for a hat-trick of bouts.
    Warren wrote in his latest website column: “The booming heavyweight division will be featuring strongly in our plans across the next 12 months.
    “Top of the to-do list is finalising the undisputed showdown with Oleksandr Usyk that will dominate the spring schedule.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    “If Tyson can vanquish the great Ukrainian, then he has said himself that he is eyeing up a big Wembley night with Big Joe Joyce and that is a fight I would love to make and one that would once again break records at the national stadium.
    “With Tyson wanting to fight three times this year, there is plenty of scope for huge heavyweight action.”
    Fury has not fought more than twice in a year since 2018, when he made his boxing comeback.
    But after ruling out retirement, for now at least, the Gypsy King looks on course to be an active fighter.
    Most read in Boxing
    It will gives fans hope of Fury at last fighting long-time rival Joshua, 33, following years of failed talks, most recently in December.
    But with AJ set to ease himself back, after consecutive losses to Usyk, 35, Warren does not see him fitting in Fury’s plans.
    He said: “I’ll tell you why I can’t see it. Tyson’s told me what fights he wants, that’s number one.
    “And number two is they don’t want the fight. They had the chance to make it and we had all that palaver.”
