      The Gypsy King is looking forward to Christmas with his wife Paris and his six children.
      But his family were nowhere to be found as he mocked-up a Christmas card that featured some of the heavyweights he has tangled with inside and outside the ring.
      Fury’s Instagram sees a Christmas-style card with the champ stood in his suit alongside five children.
      But instead of his actual kids, the boxer superimposed the faces of some of his rivals over the children.

      Fury is holding a child who bears Dillian Whyte’s face while below them, stood next to a Christmas tree, is Joshua, Wilder, Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye.
      Fans were loving the surprise Christmas Eve social media post.
      One said: “[Fury] really is a legend” with laughing emojis.
      Another added: “I’m not a Fury fan, but I find this funny.”

      A third said online: “This is pure class…. What are any of those boxers going to say?”
      The 34-year-old has history with all of the men who he featured on the card, most notably Wilder who he fought in three epic contests between 2018 and 2021.
      The first fight is best remembered for the extraordinary final round when Fury miraculously recovered after being floored by a vicious Wilder punch.
      Following that bout being scored as a draw, two more action-packed fights followed with Fury scrapping his way to two spectacular wins.

      He has also beaten Whyte and Klitschko before, with the 2015 battle against the Ukrainian seeing him win the WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO and the Ring titles.
      A fight with Haye was meant to happen in 2013 but the Hayemaker pulled out with injury.
      And Fury spent several weeks earlier this year desperately trying to put on a fight with Joshua before negotiations fell apart.
      Noticeably missing from the mock-up was Fury’s other trilogy rival, Derek Chisora.
      The two faced off in 2011, 2014 and earlier this month with the Gypsy King winning all three.

      Many fans also noticed that the current WBO, IBF and WBA title holder Oleksandr Usyk is also a big name absent from Fury’s Christmas card tribute.
      The pair look set to meet next year in a mouth-watering undisputed clash. More

      At last week’s Boxing Insider’s Holiday Fight Night card at Sony Hall in Time’s Square, Urbina squared up against Indeya Smith.
      However, it wasn’t quite the fairytale of New York that the Phoenix-based fighter wanted.

      After eight rounds, the judges rightly called the bout in Smith’s favour.
      But nothing should be taken away from Urbina.
      She has climbed up the bantamweight ranks through the years – doing things the hard way.
      Urbina grew up in Arizona as an undocumented immigrant, before realising her boxing dreams.
      “When I was a kid I remember watching fights all over the world and it was only a dream for me to do that because I was undocumented as a child,” she said.
      “Now that I’m living the dream of being able to travel all over the world and fight, I feel extremely blessed.”

      Previously, Bridges told SunSport she was initially reluctant to set up a Only Fans account because of her part-time teaching career.
      She told us back in April: “The main reason I don’t want to do OnlyFans is because I still want to go back and teach.

      “Where I’m headed in my life right now, I’m not sure I could go back to teaching because of my fame and popularity,” she said.
      “If it is that I’m not teaching anymore, then sure why not make a million dollars a year of photos I would post on Instagram anyway?
      “The only thing that’s stopping me is the teaching thing. So, it just depends on where my boxing career takes me over the next year.
      “It’s possible, because it’s easy money. But because of the teaching thing, it’s a no for now.”

      Anthony Joshua offered training by coach of bitter rival Dillian Whyte has AJ searches for new team ahead of comeback

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA has been offered coaching by Buddy McGirt… the man who trains his bitter rival Dillian Whyte. AJ is on the scout for a new training team in America following consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk.

      After the first, in September 2021, Joshua parted ways with long-time cornerman Rob McCracken, who led him to gold in the amateurs and pros.
      He replaced McCracken with esteemed US mastermind Robert Garcia, but following rematch defeat to Usyk the two have split.
      Now Joshua is trailing new coaches and McGirt has thrown his name into the hat.
      He told Boxing King Media: “Of course, it would interest me without a doubt.

      “It would be great because I just think that with him, the adjustments that he needs are nothing major.”
      Whyte, 34, linked up with McGirt before his last fight, a disputed majority decision win over Jermaine Franklin, 29.
      Joshua, 33, was ringside for it and the pair of old rivals fist-bumped ahead of a proposed rematch next year.
      Whyte beat AJ in their 2009 barnburner in the amateurs but lost in the professional ranks six years later.

      Joshua is yet to announce his new team ahead of his scheduled return in the spring but McGirt did admit there could be a conflict of interest.
      He said: “If anyone tries any major adjustments for him, it’s not going to work, and I think a lot of people are overlooking that.
      “On the second hand, I’d only do it if he’s not fighting Dillian. If he’s fighting Dillian, I’ve got to stay with Dillian, of course, because I was with Dillian first.
      “If he’s not fighting Dillian, yes, of course, I would love that.”

      It comes after Usyk, 35, twice beat Joshua, 33, to win and retain the WBA, IBF and WBO titles.
      The Ukrainian then watched from ringside as Fury, 34, beat Derek Chisora, 38, in round ten of their trilogy bout in December.
      They faced off inside Tottenham’s 62,000-seat stadium as Fury rained down insults on “little midget” Usyk.
      The Gypsy King’s old amateur rival David Price – who retired in 2021 – believes the size difference between the pair will be a deciding factor.

      Price, 39, told ID Boxing: “When Joshua put Usyk on the back foot and tried to use his size, instead of standing and trying to be a bit of a chess match – he drained Usyk, I felt, in the second fight.”
      “What Tyson Fury does better than anyone is uses his size to his advantage. That’s one of his biggest strengths.
      “Watching him against Derek Chisora. He towered of Derek Chisora.
      “Now I’m a little bit taller than Tyson Fury, but I gave my height away when I boxed a little bit.”

      “He’s an expert at being the big man, and I just think he’ll big man Usyk.
      “I think he’ll lean all over him, he’ll fight dirty, and I think he’ll win probably a bit of a scruffy fight.”
      Asked for his prediction, Price said: “I think it’ll be a Fury win on points.”

      The fight, on the undercard of Chris Eubank Jr’s Sky Box Office bout against Liam Smith, comes after the New Zealander was beaten by Joe Joyce.
      Parker is out for revenge in a rematch against Joyce, 37, as well as Joshua, 33, and Whyte, 34, as he looks to right previous wrongs.
      He told SecondsOut: “It would be nice to get a rematch with Joshua, a rematch with Dillian Whyte and probably in the future, a rematch with Joe Joyce.
      “I like to fight those guys that I lost to. Before I flew here and before I locked in this fight, my manager put in a message to Joshua’s team and asked if they wanted to have a rematch.

      “We had no reply but we’re still trying to chase those fights, those rematches and it would be awesome if we can. It’s just up to each fighter and their team.”
      Parker has been training over the festive period but did so over 11,000 miles away from his New Zealand home.
      He is in Morecambe based at Tyson Fury’s gym and was even asked over for Christmas by the WBC champion.
      Parker, 30, said to SunSport: “I was at home training but my wife saw that it had no purpose and told me ‘you need to get a fight’.

      “She was the one who saw that in me and she told me ‘get back over to England and fight again’. So it’s thanks to my wife while I am here.
      “Me and my trainer Andy Lee trained this week but he has rightly gone back to Ireland to spend Christmas and New Year with his young family, even my live-in chef Pressley has gone to Spain for five days with his missus.
      “It’s just me here in the flat and this Christmas tree, bit of a crappy plastic one.
      “But everyone in Morecambe is so welcoming, I have been invited to so many homes and gatherings but I can’t risk getting ill before a fight so I need to stay healthy and fit.
      “Tyson has invited me over to have dinner with him and his family but I have to focus on the fact that I have left my family to work, so that is what I am here to do; work.
      “I suppose I could go and buy myself a present, wrap it up myself and then act surprised when I open it on Christmas morning but I have everything I need. I just want to train and fight.
      “I will take the day off and take up Tyson’s offer but then it will be back home to my tree, maybe sing a little carol and back to training on Monday.”

      Tyson Fury missing out on millions from WWE PPV extravaganzas amid US visa problems

      by

      TYSON Fury’s immigration problems in the US are costing him millions – from wrestling and not boxing.The world heavyweight champion’s WWE return is hanging by the balance amid problems at the border.

      WWE executives had been plotting for Fury to make an appearance at the Royal Rumble at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas in January.
      And they had an eye on a match at Wrestlemania 39 in Los Angeles in April.
      Fury, 34, won his WWE debut in October 2019, beating Braun Strowman, and made a surprise cameo at the Clash of the Castle in Wales in August.
      Now those hopes are looking slim and complicated, The U.S. Sun has learned.

      Fury, 34, is banned from entering the US after links to alleged Irish mob boss Daniel Kinahan emerged.
      The boxer’s team is responsible for ensuring he fulfills the credentials needed to work in the USA, while WWE’s lawyers have expertise in dealing with foreign athletes.
      Recently, Fury’s younger brother Tommy confirmed they are still being refused permission to enter the country.
      Tommy, who was due to fight Jake Paul in New York City, said it was apparently due to connections to Kinahan.
      Most read in Boxing
      Fury was being wooed by show bosses to appear in 2023 shows as full-time CEO and chairwoman Stephanie McMahon and creative director – her husband Paul “Triple H” Levesque are huge fans of the ‘The Gypsy King’.
      An insider told The U.S. Sun: “Tyson is well loved at the WWE and him popping up in any match and a run to Wrestlemania would generate huge headlines and fan interest.
      “However his immigration status is proving tricky to deal with.
      “Tyson and the legal team or getting this whole grey and tricky area resolved. But non-entry, quite simply put, means non-payment.
      “And people may not believe this but turning up for a match or being part of the shows, not even fighting, earns him several million dollars.
      “So this issue with his working visa in the States is costing him a large amount of cash.
      “The WWE works with foreign athletes all the time in aiding their visa processing for appearances.
      “The legal team are on the sidelines offering support in this matter, but ultimately getting approval is on Tyson’s head and how US immigration assesses his case.”
      The source added: “It is not all bad news for Tyson, because there are other options for WWE through their premium live events outside of the US.

      “It’s likely that they will go to Saudi Arabia twice a year for those bigger nights and of course, there are often European battles.
      “But having a potential invite to feature in something special at Wrestlemania is a huge deal, and currently those shows are only in the USA.”
      In October, Tommy confirmed he and Tyson are banned from entering the United States.
      The 2019 Love Island star was unable to fight rival Paul amid a US visa issue in August.
      The Sun also revealed in June that Tyson was also denied access to a Stateside flight.
      The bans are believed to be in connection to links with alleged Irish mob boss Kinahan, who in April was hit with sanctions.
      Kinahan was the co-founder of boxing management company MTK Global – who represented Fury following his 2018 comeback – but the organization cut ties with the 44-year-old Dubai-based Dubliner in 2017 and ceased existence in April, just as Kinahan was hit with sanctions.
      Tommy, who along with Tyson has no links to criminality, revealed he is still unable to enter America.
      He said on The MMA Hour: “Me and Tyson just can’t get into America at the minute and that’s the way it is.”
      The US Treasury imposed sanctions on Kinahan and the US Department of State is also offering rewards of up to $5million for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of three members of the criminal family.
      A list of over 600 people, all connected to Kinahan, are understood to be banned from entering the US.
      It has left Tommy, who was never advised or managed by Kinahan or his former MTK boxing stable, seemingly caught up in it all.
      Read More on The Sun
      Directly asked about “the Kinahan situation” by host Ariel Helwani, Tommy, 23, said: “I don’t know (what’s happening), that’s what I pay my lawyers for and my legal team every day, they’re sorting it and I said please get this resolved as soon as possible and that’s where I’ve left it at the moment.
      “I’m hoping it gets resolved asap because I want to come to America not just for boxing and of course for the big one to get this fight over the line but if it doesn’t get resolved for a long time I can’t speak on how long this is going to take.” More
