      Tommy Fury is still in talks to fight Jake Paul
      Fury’s promoter Frank Warren revealed talks to reschedule his grudge match with Paul were ongoing.
      But the American took to social media to claim his celebrity boxing rival is refusing offers sent to him.
      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.”

      Fury, 23, has twice pulled out of fighting Paul, 25, firstly due to a rib injury in December 2021 and then over a US visa issue in August 2022.
      But the 8-0 boxer, brother of 34-year-old WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, has been given the chance to once again reschedule.
      And it was rumoured Fury was being offered $2million to fight Paul, who beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in October to move to 6-0.
      It leaves Perry, 31, as a wildcard alternative to welcome the social media sensation back to the ring.

      Anthony Joshua told he doesn’t fit in Tyson Fury’s 2023 plans and offered Joe Joyce and Daniel Dubois domestic dust-ups

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has been told he does not fit in Tyson Fury’s plans for 2023 – but can fight Joe Joyce and Daniel Dubois instead. Fury is in talks for the heavyweight division’s first four-belt title unification against Oleksandr Usyk, who is coming off two wins against AJ.

      It leaves Joshua, 33, on a rebuilding job this year, starting with a return in April against a top 15 contender.
      Eddie Hearn said a super-fight against Fury, 34, or Deontay Wilder, 37, could follow by the end of the year.
      But rival promoter Warren warned AJ faces being frozen out, unless he looks towards Dubois, 34, and Joyce, 37.
      He told SecondsOut: “The obvious question is: is he going to figure in (Fury’s plans)?. I can’t really see him figuring.

      “Tyson’s [busy] in his next couple of fights, that’s for sure. Tyson’s a bit p***ed off with what went on in the time we wasted.
      “So, we are where we are with that. But if [Joshua] wants to fight Joe Joyce or Daniel Dubois we’ll do those in a heartbeat.”
      Warren expects Fury to challenge Usyk, 35, in early March with negotiations between the opposing camps continuing.
      Meanwhile, AJ is in the last stages of finalising his return as he also searches for a new coaching team.

      Hearn told DAZN: “We are down to three or four opponents.
      “He is ready to start camp and will likely start that camp this week. Honestly, I couldn’t give Anthony Joshua an opponent he will turn down.
      “It’s all about putting together the right training team.”

      So he is willing to face Diaz, who last year left the UFC, as part of a two-bout deal in both sports.
      Paul said on his YouTube channel: “I’ve already disrupted boxing and now it’s time to disrupt MMA.
      “I know this is such a tough sport and it’s not going to be easy but if I can do it in boxing, I can do it in MMA.
      “I’m so dedicated to this I offered Nate Diaz a two-fight deal; first we box, then six months later we fight MMA in the PFL SmartCage and lay it all on the line.

      “If that’s not balls then I don’t know what is. Nate Diaz, I’m down to fight you in your own damn sport. It’s a two-fight, let’s make it happen.”
      The PFL is MMA’s only league format and consists of a Regular Season and Playoff.
      Stars in each weight have two qualifying bouts with the top four progressing to the knockout stages.
      It culminates in a championship finale where a $1million cheque and title belt is on the line.

      Paul, 25, has signed to fight in MMA and also founded the PFL’s “super-fight pay-per-view division” in which he will also compete in.
      Diaz, 37, meanwhile is a free agent having ran out his contract with the UFC, last beating Tony Ferguson, 38, in September.
      He was ringside in October at Paul’s last fight, to watch the American beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, on points.
      The social media sensation is set to return in February but is still without a named opponent for his seventh boxing bout.

      Talks over a British showdown with Tyson Fury in December collapsed.
      And now the Watford ace is set to return to competitive action in April before a likely rematch with Dillian Whyte and then either Fury or Deontay Wilder in a mouthwatering end to the year.
      His promoter Eddie Hearn revealed there were “three or four opponents” Joshua could face next.
      And Wallin’s counterpart Dmitry Salita revealed his Swedish heavyweight could be AJ’s next challenge.

      Salita told Ice36 Live Casino: “Eddie Hearn and I have discussed Otto and Joshua potentially taking place and I’m waiting to see if an offer will materialise.
      “Eddie’s talking about a three-fight plan for AJ in 2023 to build him back up after defeats to Usyk.
      “Eddie says he wants a top-15 opponent in spring.
      “If they want a credible challenge, a familiar name, and a fighter ranked highly by the organisations – Otto Wallin fits that description perfectly.

      “A fight is a big possibility.”
      Wallin, 32, faced Fury in 2019 before the Gypsy King beat Wilder in their first rematch.
      “All In” hurt Fury by cutting him above the eye as he took the 6ft 9in giant all the way to the final bell.
      But he suffered the only defeat of his 26-fight pro career via unanimous points decision.
      Wallin was due to fight Whyte in 2021 but the Body Snatcher pulled out due to a shoulder injury.
      Salita could not resist a subtle dig at Joshua by hailing Fury as the best boxer in the division.
      He added: “Otto almost stopped the best heavyweight in the world and Joshua’s countryman, Tyson Fury, and is quietly confident of going one better against AJ if we can get the fight signed.” More
