      The younger Fury brother, 23, is set to face Paul Bamba on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s bout with Deji.
      Also on the card is Taylor, a former opponent of 8-0 Tommy.
      MMA fighter Taylor, who is set to fight Love Island’s Jack Fincham, stood up during the press conference to heckle Fury – claiming he should be getting a rematch.
      He bellowed that their fight would be the “real main event” – although John Fury quickly grew sick of the interruption.

      John shouted in Taylor’s direction, and was prevented from getting closer by security.
      Both men removed their jackets as things got heated on stage.
      Taylor, 33, is a team-mate of Fury’s rival Jake Paul.
      Since losing to Tommy via unanimous decision in August 2021 he has gone 3-2 in the ring – most recently beating Ashley Tebi last month.

      As Taylor howled and cried “I’m the real pretty boy” – John turned in disgust and wagged his finger.
      When Deji arrived, he admitted that he is just hoping to land a single blow on Mayweather.
      He said: “I’m looking to land a punch, that would be amazing of course against the best defensive fighter in the world.
      “So, I’m looking to have fun, I’m looking to showcase my skills and show what YouTubers can do.
      “Me being in there with Floyd is only going to enhance my skills in boxing and push me further up the ladder.”

      ‘Everything’s done’ – Team Usyk say deal to fight Fury is ‘done from our side’ and they’re waiting on Gypsy King to sign

      by

      Negotiations, however, continued and Team Usyk has agreed to the proposed terms for the historic dust-up.
      The Ukrainian’s manager Egis Klimas told SecondsOut: “Everything is done from our side – everything, absolutely.
      “So, there’s only one guy who can say, ‘Yes, we’re going [ahead];’ that’s Fury.”
      Usyk, 34, holds four of the heavyweight marbles following spectacular back-to-back displays against Brit Anthony Joshua.

      But the former undisputed cruiserweight king will likely be the underdog against 6’9 man-mountain Fury.
      Klimas admitted: “Size difference, of course, it’s not in Usyk’s favour.
      “[Fury] is a giant. Also, he’s a good fighter. He’s a talented fighter first of all; Second, he has a good boxing IQ.
      “So, he is a very, very dangerous fighter.”

      Fury, 34, will defend his WBC crown at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on December 3 in a trilogy fight with fellow Brit Derek Chisora.
      And Usyk has no problem rematching 38-year-old Chisora for the belts should he shock the world and dethrone The Gypsy King.
      When asked about Chisora potentially throwing a spanner into the works, Klimas said: “Then we’re gonna go and unify the titles with Chisora.
      “We [beat him comfortably in 2020], but again: Boxing is boxing; one time you beat them, one time you can lose, one time you can draw – and all kind of different things happen.”
      Usyk was left baffled by Fury’s choice of Chisora for his voluntary defence of the WBC title.

      “F***ing idiot, yeah.’ And then now, 18 months later, here we are.
      “And when I say that, maybe people are taking it a little bit more seriously now. And I still mean it. And I still want that fight.”

      Who is Harley Benn? Meet Conor’s brother who’s fighting on Floyd Mayweather vs Deji undercard

      by

      EXHIBITION boxing is back next weekend as Floyd Mayweather takes on Deji in Dubai. Mayweather had fought a number of these exhibitions before, having beaten both Mikuru Asakura and Don Moore earlier this year.
      Harley Benn is the half-brother of Conor and son of Nigel
      And he’s set to earn millions again in a clash with KSI’s brother Deji.
      But on the undercard of the big fight is Conor Benn’s brother Harley, who faces Faizan Anwar.
      Who is Harley Benn?
      Harley, like his half-brother Conor and famous dad Nigel, is a professional boxer.
      The 26-year-old has a record of 9-1, with his only defeat coming in 2019 on a Frank Warren show against 0-16 journeyman Lee Hallett.
      Harley was conceived after Nigel, 57, had an affair with his mum Lisa Andrews while going through IVF with second wife Carolyne.
      It was announced last month that Harley would be in action on the Mayweather-Deji undercard.
      “LETS F****G GO‼️ A nice test for me against an undefeated fighter. This is where I show the world what I can do,” he wrote in a post on Instagram.

      Promoters Global Titans announced the bout and revealed anti-doping tests will be in place.
      A statement said: “The Middle East Professional Boxing Commission has requested a full Anti Doping testing regime for this bout.”
      That comes following the news of Benn’s brother Conor failing a pre-fight drug test ahead of his clash with Chris Eubank Jr last month.
      Conor, 26, returned an adverse finding for the banned substance clomifene in a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association test.
      The substance, usually used to treat infertility in women but can increase testosterone in men, is prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
      The bout was called off and Conor relinquished his British Boxing Board of Control licence.
