      Should Fury put his rivalry with Chisora to bed, a unification fight with WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champ Usyk could be on the cards for next year.

      Warren told talkSPORT Breakfast: “Usyk will be at ringside.
      “He’s flying in on Friday so he’s gonna be there.

      The Brit has vowed to “slap him in the mouth” if he shows up.
      Fury told iFL TV: “Oleksandr Usyk can go suck a d***.

      Whyte only claimed he dropped ‘two-sided’ Tyson Fury in sparring after being trash talked

      by

      DILLIAN WHYTE labelled Tyson Fury a “two-sided guy” and insists he only revealed he floored the Gypsy King in sparring because he was sick of being trash-talked.Whyte lost to Fury via knockout in April in front of 94,000 fans at Wembley.

      Fury and Whyte exchanged bitter words before the showdown
      Speaking about Fury, Whyte revealed in 2020 that he had “dropped him on multiple occasions” in a sparring session.
      And the Brixton Bodysnatcher then said last year that he decided to reveal all after becoming sick of Fury’s taunts.
      ‘TWO-SIDED GUY’
      Speaking on The AK and Barak Show, Whyte said: “Yeah, well he started saying stuff about me so I said come on you know what happened in the gym.
      “You know what went down. I never went out and said anything he did. But Fury is a very two-sided guy.
      “Like sometimes he says something and you think the dude’s cool and I ain’t got a beef with him then. The next minute he starts talking a load of rubbish.
      “You’re like, ‘Are we cool, are we beefing or are you talking sense. What’s going on?'”
      Fury previously said that he has beaten Whyte in the gym many times, describing him as a “heavy bag on legs”.
      MOST READ IN BOXING

      In 2021, Fury even claimed that Whyte only wanted to face him because he was protected by the coronavirus lockdown.
      The Gypsy King posted on Twitter: “Funny how everyone wants to fight during Covid-19, when there are no sports events happening.
      “Also I have a contract with the @bronzebomber first and when I win that I’ll have the fight with Joshua as undisputed comes before mandatory. Happy hunting.”
      But Whyte ended up getting a shot at Fury after the WBC champion’s 11th round knockout of Deontay Wilder in October last year. More

      But the youngest Diaz brother was unable to field offers from potential suitors due to an exclusive three-month negotiation period.
      That has now come to an end.
      Diaz’s manager Zach Rosenfield told MMA Junkie: “Nate is going to be looking at the biggest fights possible.”
      A blockbuster trilogy with rival Conor McGregor is, however, still something Diaz wants to complete before hanging up his gloves.

      Rosenfield continued: “He has stated that completing the trilogy with Conor McGregor is something that interests him, and that has not changed.”
      Diaz is expected to enter the boxing world following his 15-year stint in the UFC – with a showdown against YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul a real possibility.
      But the fan favourite won’t solely compete in the squared circle next year.
      Rosenfield said: “You will see Nate competing multiple times in 2023, and that will include boxing.”

      He tweeted: “Hi Nate. Finally out of your UFC contract?

      And promoter Eddie Hearn hopes to have the Brit back in the ring in the spring.
      During an appearance on the DAZN Boxing show, Hearn said: “At the moment, AJ’s plans are he is due to fight in late March, and we’re locking that in.”
      Joshua has plenty of fights available to him for his return to the ring – including a long overdue grudge match with former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.
      Hearn added: “Could that be Wilder? Possibly. I’m open to that conversation.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “In my head, because of the Andy Ruiz situation and everything, it was one for the summer or certainly 2023. We’re more than willing to have that conversation.
      “Obviously, Dillian Whyte’s win during the weekend sort of opens up that situation for Whyte against AJ, but we also understand that AJ against Deontay Wilder is one of the biggest fights in boxing.
      “So definitely, we’d be open to making that fight next or even the one after.”
      Hearn, however, concedes a gunfight with Joshua may not be top of Wilder’s wish list, saying: “Maybe they’re trying to push the [Andy] Ruiz fight a little bit, or maybe they want it.

      “I have to reach out to Shelly [Finkel] (Wilder’s manager) today.
      “There are a lot of options for Deontay Wilder. Firstly, I have the Anthony Joshua fight, which is a massive fight for Deontay Wilder.
      “I also have the Dillian Whyte fight. I’d still like to make Dillian Whyte against Deontay Wilder.
      “I’d be happy to look at both of those fights.
      Joshua is planning to fight before the first quarter of 2023 comes to an end but is refusing to give a specific date for his return.
      He said: “I don’t know [when I’ll be back].
      “I was supposed to be in the ring this year, I’m going to be in the ring next year. I’ll be in the ring when I’m in the ring.
      “I don’t want to make statements today and then I’ll get held to the cross.
      “Do you know what I mean? When I’m ready, I’ll be back in the ring.”

      Tyson Fury offers £1MILLION bet Deontay Wilder knocks out Anthony Joshua and says Brit doesn’t have ‘minerals’ for fight

      by

      But Fury doubts British rival Joshua will ever step foot in the ring with the Bronze Bomber.
      He told Behind The Gloves: “I’d like to see that fight but I don’t think AJ has got the minerals to take that fight.
      “That’s it, I just don’t think he will fight anyone that will knock him out. I just don’t, that is my personal opinion.
      “Wilder will definitely knock out Joshua. I’d even have a bet on it.

      “I’d have one million quid on it with anybody. £1million, even money, Wilder knocks Joshua out cold.”
      Joshua, 33, has taken a break from boxing following consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, 35.
      Meanwhile Wilder, 37, knocked out Robert Helenius, 38, in round one of his October comeback fight.
      It was his first since a KO loss to Fury, 34, in their epic October 2021 trilogy bout.

      AJ is being lined up to rematch the man he beat in 2015, Dillian Whyte, 34, next year.
      But Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel called on Hearn to make a fight between Joshua and the American next.
      Finkel told SunSport last week: “If Joshua is ready or willing to fight us next, that is what we want and we will give anything to fight him. 
      “This has been a five-year campaign and each time they always try to say we have avoided it. 
      “Right now is the 28th of November, we’re saying why not fight next? Let’s just make the fight.”

      “I want to lay my mark down on this division and what ever [Lerena] brings I’m going to have to deal with it.
      “If they want it, Usyk or Tyson, either one of them, I don’t mind who, Anthony Joshua and whoever, these are the fights I want. Having the WBA ‘regular’ title puts me right up there at the front of the queue. I’m No 1 ranked with the WBA, I’m doing it the right way.
      “I just need to perform now, I’ve been out the ring a while, I need to get my career moving again.” More

      Usyk is rumoured to be ringside at Tottenham’s stadium amid speculation of unification bout with Fury next year.
      But the Gypsy King warned his Ukrainian rival not to get too close or else their fight could commence early.
      Fury told iFL TV: “Usyk can go suck a d***. Excuse my french. I’m not interested in a foreign little t*****.
      “If he comes to the fight I promise you I’ll slap him in the mouth.

      “How’s that? All these men I don’t care who is next. Wherever I can get the most money for my next fight, that is who I will fight.
      “And if I have to fight a middleweight I will do it. Usyk called me a drunk recently but I want to see what he says about it.
      “I like a drink yes I am a human but I know what he likes to do in his spare time.
      “I think he is a s***house, he had an opportunity to fight for $65 million and he didn’t take it.

      “That is a s***house, who doesn’t take a fight for $65 million? Listen whoever comes to fight me I am there to give them a good hiding.”
      Usyk, 35, ruled himself out of the heavyweight division’s first four-belt undisputed bout until next year.
      But the pound-for-pound star called on Fury, 34, to fight in 2023 after labelling him a borracho, which is Spanish for drunk.
      Usyk told Seconds Out: “I’m appealing to Tyson Fury. Hey, Tyson, borracho, let’s make it happen.
      “Hey borracho, let’s fight, let’s determine who is the best in the division, who is the best in the world.
