      by

      Verbal jabs have often been thrown by the pair on social media, but WBC heavyweight king Fury reckons Paul – the rival of his brother Tommy – will strike the telling blow if they ever throw down.
      When asked who would win between the pair, The Gypsy King told ESPN: “Jake Paul, all day every day.”
      Fury, 34, was further pressed on his prediction and replied: “I just think he knocks him out cold.”
      Paul, 25, called out KSI – real name Olajide Olatunji – after seeing his rival win back-to-back fights at the O2 Arena in August.

      But The Problem Child is adamant the Brit will never share the ring with him.
      Late last month, he tweeted a mock-up picture of himself knocking out KSI with the accompanying caption: “Enjoy this image because he will never fight me.”
      KSI, however, is adamant he will one day face the younger brother Paul – who he wants to close out his boxing career against.
      He said: “I figured it out, you guys will not be happy until I fight Jake Paul.

      “So that’s why I don’t see the eagerness for you to want me to fight Jake Paul so quickly.
      “I said I’m going to fight him in 2023, the only reason I’ve come back into the boxing scene is to fight Jake Paul and beat him.
      “So I don’t really understand why people are complaining about the people that I fight.

      “Why don’t we just enjoy the journey? Enjoy the ride because ladies and gentlemen, once I fight Jake Paul, I’m done.
      “I’m not boxing anymore, I would have solidified my legacy and then I’m hanging up the gloves forever.
      “So why do we want to rush that?”

      Artur Beterbiev claims Canelo Alvarez’s weakness is punch power and says he has blueprint to beat P4P star

      by

      ARTUR BETERBIEV reckons he has the beating of pound-for-pound king Canelo Alvarez.Undisputed super-middleweight king Canelo is back in the crosshairs of the Russian following his return to the light-heavyweight division.

      Canelo conceded both height and reach to Dmitry Bivol after stepping up to 175lbs back in May.
      And the Mexican paid the price, losing for just the second time in his career.
      Speaking before Alvarez’s shock defeat, Beterbiev told SunSport: “I disagree with your assessment that he is pretty much unbeatable.  
      “It is not true. He lost to [Floyd] Mayweather, he had equal fights verses GGG [Gennady Golovkin].
      READ MORE SPORT STORIES
      “With that said, Canelo is undoubtedly a good fighter, he has the technique, he works nicely on the ring, and he has a good punch.
      “Of course, I will do my best to beat him, because he is not unbeatable.
      “His loss to Mayweather and equal fights vs. GGG is proof of that.
      “I don’t consider myself worse than Mayweather or GGG as a fighter.
      Most read in SPORT
      “So the result of our fight will show who is the best between the two of us.”
      Beterbiev reckons a dust-up with the Guadalajara gladiator would be a box-office smash.
      He said: “I am sure that would be a mega-fight. It will be one of the huge events over the last years.”
      Canelo’s ferocity was on full display in consecutive stoppage victories over Anvi Yildirim, Billy Joe Saunders and Caleb Plant.
      He recently got back to winning ways, dispatching Gennady Golovkin in their trilogy match.
      But Beterbiev doesn’t have the slightest concern about the punching power possessed by the four-weight world champion.
      Canelo’s ferocious punch power doesn’t intimidate Beterbiev at allCredit: GETTY
      He said: “I think his technical side outweighs his physical force.
      “His asset in the boxing is his thinking, he is a smart fighter.
      “As for his punch power, I think there are fighters in our division who are stronger than him, who hit harder.
      “I don’t follow up closely other fighters, but Canelo seems to be training hard and he gets what he wants.
      “As for how I am going to beat him, I don’t want to reveal it to anyone.

      “Generally speaking, I would be following the same guidelines I used in my previous fights.
      “I will do my best to be fully prepared for this fight and stay 100% focused on it.” More

      Eddie Hall floored YouTube star Nile Wilson after he volunteers to take punch from former World’s Strongest Man

      And Wilson – a retired Olympic gymnast – was on hand to feel the full force of the Brit’s power.
      Hall, who stands 6ft 3in and 25 STONE, completely dwarfed the 5ft 6in, 9st 4lb, ex-athlete.
      Wilson attempted a punch of his own but it has no effect whatsoever on the super-heavyweight.
      Hall, 34, said: “The thing is, mate, I train – with my training, I’ll hang on a bar and my training partner will smash me in the gut.

      “Obviously, as you can see, I’ve also got a massive wall of thick muscle there.”
      Later on, Hall lands a single jab to Wilson, who is wearing a body belt – but it still sent him flying in the brilliant 2021 clip.
      Wilson, 26, said: “My brain hit the back of my head.”
      Hall then joked: “I think I might have actually knocked him out…”
      Most read in Boxing
      But Wilson rather unconvincing replied: “I’m alright, yeah.”
      Hall and ‘Thor’ Bjornsson squared off in a fight billed the ‘heaviest boxing match in history’.
      Game of Thrones star Bjornsson, 33, dominated the contest and ran out a clear winner.
      Both giants have dramatically transformed their bodies as they swap weight lifting for tireless punching.

      Stunning ring girl ‘fell asleep’ in Tyson Fury’s last fight against Derek Chisora as pair prepare for trilogy

      TYSON FURY’S last fight with Derek Chisora caused a ring girl to fall asleep ringside.The Gypsy King takes on Del Boy for a third time tonight, although the trilogy bout has failed to capture the imagination of some fans.

      Punters flocking to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this evening will be hoping for a more exciting night of action than what was on offer when the pair fought eight years ago.
      Fury, 34, had handed Chisora the first defeat of his career when they met in 2011.
      Following further losses to Robert Helenius, Vitali Klitschko and David Haye – Del Boy was able to rebuild by stringing together five victories on the bounce.
      This earned him a second shot at Fury in November 2014 – but it would end in the same outcome.

      The duo didn’t take to the ring until after midnight at an emptying ExCel Arena in London.
      And such was the dullness of the action on offer, that a pair of ring girls struggled to even stay awake.
      A picture snapped by boxing reporter Gareth A Davies showed the glamorous Stephanie Holland sleeping with her head on an unimpressed-looking Sophie Rose’s shoulder.
      Fury picked Chisora apart on the night, before the fight was eventually stopped in the tenth round, likely to the relief of the ring girls.

      The Gypsy King is aiming to dispatch Del Boy in exciting style tonight… before partying with England fans.
      On a visit to Sun HQ, he said: “I’m looking forward to putting on a show. I’m feeling fantastic. I always win and so will England.”
      Fury added that he’ll “get messy again” in Qatar when, rather than if, Gareth Southgate’s team beat Senegal in tomorrow’s last-16 clash – and that the booze ban won’t get in his way.
      He said: “I’ll put it up my top. Who’s going to stop me?
      “I’m not an alcoholic, I’m just a devil for the drink.”
      He is planning a “wild lads’ holiday” at the football without wife Paris, 32, or their six children.

      The Gypsy King has beaten Del Boy twice before and has still yet to be beaten in his professional career.
      Ahead of the tasty all-British bout, he sat down with SunSport’s Isabelle Barker to answer the questions every fan wants to know the answers to.
      Tyson Fury Q&A
      Favourite post-fight cheat meal?
      Fish fingers, chips and beans. Very simple, I’ve even ordered it in five-star restaurants.

      Dinner with three guests dead or alive?
      Jesus Christ, Tom Jones and Elvis!
      Which of the England squad would you most want to go on a night out with?
      Jordan Pickford. He seems like a laugh to go on a drink with.

      Drink of choice?
      Anything cold and wet! 
      Last song you listened to?
      Chesney Hawkes singing!
      If you could time travel where would you go?
      This is a very complex topic. I used to always be obsessed with time. I always thought whoever controlled the element of time could control the world.
      When asked what superpower I wanted as a kid I always said I’d want the ability to control time. However I’ve learnt to be very comfortable living in today’s world.
      I wouldn’t want to go back or forward. I’m very happy living as who I am today. So I’d stay put.

      Michael Jackson hands down.
      Ultimate walk-on track?
      One of my happy songs is Biggie Smalls’ “Juicy” because the lyrics go ‘it was all a dream.’ For me it was all a dream that is now a reality.
      Role model outside of boxing?
      God. 
      Fondest memory as a Manchester United fan?
      Winning the Treble in 1999. I think that is the highlight of any Manchester United fan’s life.
      Top five fighters in the world, excluding yourself?
      They’re all pretty good. Anyone who gets in the boxing ring, I’ll leave it to the fans to decide.

      Describe the feeling of being punched by Tyson Fury?
      To the normal person on the street it would probably feel like getting run over by a Land Rover Defender but to a boxer it’s no biggie. We get punched in the face daily in training camp. Big hits. More
