      “Cheering you on from the car, babe.”

      Fry-ups could very well soon be off the menu for Tommy as a February grudge match with Jake Paul is on the cards.
      Negotiations are currently ongoing, although both parties are currently at a financial impasse.
      Tommy, however, is seemingly so desperate to put a beating on The Problem Child that he’ll take the fight for “free.”
      He said: “Once again I’m seeing Jake Paul s**t all over the internet.
      “You offered Paddy Pimblett a million pound to spar.

      “I just want to fight you and put an end to you, because all this money and everything – it’s gone on too long. Take it or leave it.”
      SunSport understands Paul vs Fury is tentatively slated to take place in Saud Arabia on February 25.
      But former Disney actor Paul insists he’s willing to fight Fury on enemy territory a week earlier.
      The Problem Child told The Mirror: “I have done everything in my power to make the fight happen against this 8-0 boxer, including offering to go to Manchester on February 18 in partnership with Frank and George Warren.
      “I’m looking at any other alternative to make this fight work.”
      Fury hasn’t set foot in the ring since his Dubai exhibition with Rolly Lambert last November.
      Paul, meanwhile, was last in action last October against former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

      According to social media site The Bread Batch, a fight deal is in place for February 25 in Saudi Arabia.
      And YouTuber Wade Plem claimed Fury was being offered an improved $2.5m (£2m) sum to accept.
      Paul publicly responded: “I cannot confirm nor deny this accurate statement.
      “What I can confirm is Tommy Fury is never going to see the kind of money he is being offered to step in the ring with me. And yet he’s still on the run.”

      Paul has gone on further and offered to fight Fury in his hometown of Manchester.
      He told The Mirror: “I have done everything in my power to make the fight happen against this 8-0 boxer, including offering to go to Manchester for February 18 in partnership with Frank and George Warren.
      “I’m looking at any other alternative to make this fight work.”
      It is believed both deals are on the table for Fury, but a UK fight would bring home less than would be the case in the Middle East.

      Fury, 23, first withdrew from fighting Paul, 25, due to a rib injury in December 2021 and then over a US visa issue in August 2022.
      His travel woes rules out a bout in America, leaving Britain and the Middle East as frontrunners to host.
      But Paul, who last beat 47-year-old UFC legend Anderson Silva in October, claimed his efforts were being knocked back.
      And it could see bare-knuckle boxer and ex-UFC welterweight Mike Perry, 31, offered the fight instead.
      Paul said: “Mike Perry, it might be your lucky year, because Tommy is running again.
      “If only the fans knew how much I was offering Tommy and he’s still ducking me. It’s pretty sad.”

      Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk: Heavyweight who has sparred BOTH champions reveals fight prediction ahead of title bout

      by

      TYSON FURY and Oleksandr Usyk are set to fight in an unprecedented title unification – and one man is perfectly placed to predict the fight. The pair of unbeaten champions are in talks for the heavyweight division’s first four-belt undisputed bout.

      British heavyweight Dave Allen knows all about the two, having sparred both of them in the past.
      And while hailing both Fury, 34, and Usyk, 35, he said there is only one winner in his mind.
      Allen, 30, told Boxing UK: “I think Fury wins to be honest. I think he’s too big.
      “I sparred Usyk and, as brilliant as he was, he’s not a big unit. He’s not physically the strongest man in the world. I think Tyson would get to him.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “They’re both outstanding. Two best talents of this generation I think, as heavyweights.
      “As special as Usyk is, Tyson, being around him as I have over the years, he’s just a special fella really.
      “He has vibes of other special athletes that can just do everything.
      “Usyk is probably in the same bracket, but can’t get away from the size difference, cause it is massive.”

      Allen sparred Usyk as recently as 2020 as was almost knocked out by the Ukrainian.
      The incident helped inspire his boxing retirement a year later, although he has since returned for two comeback fights.
      And Allen revealed, despite his friendship with Fury, he could be back in Usyk’s camp for sparring ahead of the historic unification.
      He said: “They did tell me if they fought Fury I would be brought over because stylistically I’m perfect for Fury.
      “So that tells you how I box in the gym compared to how I fight in the ring.
      “So, if the fight happens that will be a couple of interesting phone calls – one from them to me and me to Tyson saying, ‘I’m going to go to Ukraine, mate, if you don’t mind.’”

      Ebanie Bridges praises Elle Brooke and Jake Paul and names Tyson Fury as dream Christmas dinner guest

      EBANIE BRIDGES has thrown her support over to Elle Brooke and Jake Paul while naming Tyson Fury as her dream Christmas dinner guest. Bridges trains with Only Fans star-turned celebrity boxer Brooke and helped corner her to a win in July.

      So when asked about the new age of “YouTube Boxing” in Matchroom’s end of year review, the Australian praised her stable-mate.
      She said: “My friend Elle Brooke, I see her in the gym for the last four-five months, she’s never put on a glove before.
      “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.”
      American Paul, 25, is perhaps the most successful crossover boxer, having amassed an unbeaten 6-0 record.
      But it is not his pay-per-view wins over ex-UFC champions Tyron Woodley, 40, or Brazilian legend Anderson Silva, 47, that impresses Bridges most.

      It is instead his work as a promoter to women’s champion Amanda Serrano, 35, who he helped turn into a star overnight and millionaire fighter.
      Bridges said: “Look at Jake Paul and Serrano, that’s just a little example.
      “Serrano wouldn’t even be known globally or making that kind of money if it wasn’t for people like Jake Paul.
      “And I think he genuinely loves boxing and wants to help people.”
      Bridges, 36, is coming off a stoppage win over Aussie rival Shannon O’Connell, 39, and hopes for a title unification this year.
      The IBF bantamweight champion linked up with adult film actress Brooke for a Christmas collaboration on her OnlyFans.
      But when it comes down to a dream dinner guest for Christmas dinner, there is only one winner.
      Bridges said: “Maybe Tyson Fury.”

      Boxing judge Ian John-Lewis ‘suing BBBofC’ after he was relegated for scoring of Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall

      by

      EMBARRASSED British boxing referee Ian John-Lewis is reportedly suing the board after they relegated him for his terrible card that gifted Josh Taylor a win over Jack Catterall.In February 2022, the British Boxing Board of Control official inexplicably scored the undisputed super-lightweight bout 114-111 to the defending Scotsman.
      Boxing ref Ian John-Lewis is reportedly suing the BBBofCCredit: Getty Images – Getty
      Broadcasters Sky Sports – like most fair-minded fans – were disgusted by the card and the BBBofC dropped John-Lewis from A* status down to A, ruling him out of their elite events.
      In September John-Lewis – who released his own autobiography in 2014 – moved to BBBofC rivals the British and Irish Boxing Association (BIBA).
      And the Mail now claims he is taking the matter to a tribunal
      After the BBBofC investigated the two cards that robbed Catterall of a magnificent win – and punished John-Lewis but not fellow judge Victor Loughlin – they said: “Following an internal review of the scoring of the Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall contest by all three appointed judges, the Stewards of the Board decided to call Mr Ian John-Lewis to appear before them to explain his returned card. 
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “Having considered Mr Ian John-Lewis’s explanation, the Stewards of the Board decided to downgrade Mr John-Lewis from an A Star Class to an A Class Official.”
      John-Lewis, 61, is no stranger to scoring controversy after another stinker in Lyndon Arthur’s split-decision 2020 win over Anthony Yarde.
      Yarde was the home fighter and favourite but underdog Arthur dominated him with a ramrod jab.
      Two of the ringside judges both gave Arthur victory, with 115-114 cards that should have been even wider.
      Most read in Boxing
      But John-Lewis somehow wrote 117-111 to Yarde on his scorecard and was the subject of ridicule online.
      The Mail also reports that 61-year-old ref Jeff Hinds  is seeking action for not being permitted to referee or judge fights since pursuing a 2020 defamation claim against the BBBofC. More

      Anthony Joshua was ‘CONFUSED’ going into Oleksandr Usyk bout as Eddie Hearn reveals worrying pre-fight sign

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA was so confused for his first Oleksandr Usyk showdown he needed a NOTEPAD to warm-up for, according to promoter Eddie Hearn.The 33-year-old London 2012 Olympic legend went into the 2021 Tottenham showdown with the WBA, IBF and WBO belts and three trainers giving him advice in the corner.
      Anthony Joshua lost his Saudi Arabia rematch to Oleksandr UsykCredit: Getty
      After the shock stoppage loss to Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019, AJ diluted decade-long mentor Rob McCracken’s influence by adding unproven coaches Angel Fernandez and Joby Clayton to his team.
      The new voices in the corner helped Joshua cautiously outpoint the 20st Mexican and regain his belts.
      But 19 months later there seemed to be an information overload as Joshua spent crucial moments before the bout checking a book, in between hitting the pads.
      Matchroom boss Hearn revealed: “He went into the first Usyk fight just confused, really.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “I remember when he was warming up for the fight and he had a pad of notes that he and the team had put together.
      “He would be hitting the pads and every now and again he would go over and look at the book.”
      The Spurs loss to the 35-year-old Ukraine mastermind cost McCracken his job.
      Mexican-American Robert Garcia was brought in for the August 2012 Saudi rematch, where AJ improved but suffered another compounding loss.

      But Joshua has just been on another US tour looking for another trainer to add to his corner.
      Hearn admits the constant confusion in Joshua’s corner, since the 2019 reshuffle, is harming his star attraction’s career.
      He said: “The best AJ thinks ‘I know exactly what I am doing’. 
      “But to do that you need a tutor. 
      “That’s why Rob McCracken was so important for him. Remember when he boxed (Wladimir) Klitschko, 
      “Rob McCracken was a big part of winning that fight, in rounds five and six. 
      “As a fighter you have to be able to look into a trainer’s eyes and say ‘I am in trouble here, tell me what I need to do’. 
      “Not go back to your corner and have five or six voices telling you what to do.”
