      “I’ve got this knockout for y’all. Trust me.”

      A number of veterans are in the mix to be AJ’s dance partner early next year, although Queensberry Promotions chief Frank Warren is hoping to secure the gold ticket for Joyce or Dubois.
      He told Sky Sports: “Now I’m going to be able to start throwing Daniel Dubois at him and Joe [Joyce].”
      Warren, however, doesn’t believe the Olympic gold medallist would accept fights with his surging heavyweights.
      He said: “If he don’t fight one of them I think they’ll find it hard to sell anything and he can’t say, ‘Why should I do that?’.
      READ MORE IN SPORT
      “‘ll tell you why, he’ll become a mandatory.”
      Joyce and Dubois, 37 and 25 respectively, scored big knockouts over Joseph Parker and Trevor Bryan in their last outings.
      And Warren firmly believes the duo would batter Joshua if given the chance to face the Golden Boy of British boxing.
      He witheringly said of AJ: “He’s liable to get knocked over by anybody. I’d put any of my guys in with him.

      “Any of them. Joe Joyce would knock him out and Dubois would do the same.”
      Putney pounder Joyce is currently the mandatory challenger for Oleksandr Usyk’s WBO heavyweight title.
      Warren said: “We’ve worked very hard over the last few years on this heavyweight scene and we’ve guided our guys in different organisations and we’ve boxed it off a bit so I’m pleased.
      “Joe done extremely well [against Joseph Parker], got great reviews back from America because his fight done big numbers over there.

      “It was a good fight to watch. He’s set himself up. Him and Tyson [Fury] will be a huge fight, [Deontay] Wilder will be a huge fight, AJ.
      “He’ll be out in February. He’s in a real good spot.” More

      Reason Tyson Fury could not fight Anthony Joshua and had to take on Derek Chisora in trilogy fight instead

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA’s Battle of Britain with Tyson Fury fell through due to “complications” with his sponsors and promoters.AJ was on course to face his long-time rival in a shock December dust-up before a breakdown in talks after Fury’s self-imposed deadline.

      WBC heavyweight champ Fury will now defend his title on December 3 in a trilogy fight with Derek Chisora, who claims Joshua’s hands were contractually tied.
      He told Sky Sports: “AJ could not take the fight because there were so many complications with sponsors and promoters.
      “The fighters always want to fight, just fight, but the complications come from the business people around them who get in the way.
      “The managers and promoters get in the way, they make it difficult. Even this fight and contract was a headache stressing me out.

      “People always think making a big fight is easy but it’s always such a headache.”
      Fury has repeatedly thrown verbal jabs at Joshua since their showdown fell apart, so much so Chisora believes his pal is occupying a big space in The Gypsy King’s head.
      Del Boy said: “AJ is living in Tyson’s head rent-free.
      “Tyson wakes up every day thinking about AJ and cannot do an interview without mentioning AJ.

      “AJ is off living his life, doing his own thing. I don’t know why Tyson keeps talking about AJ.”
      Fury and Chisora went back and forth over social media for weeks before their shock trilogy was confirmed.
      But following the confirmation of their third tussle, Fury – who the pair’s first two meetings handily – doesn’t have a bad word to say about his old pal.
      He said: “I’m not gonna sit here and call Chisora names.
      “I respect him. I’ve got nothing bad to say about Derek; he’s a good fighting man, and he brings his A game every time.

      “In my reign right now, I’m reigning supreme. I’ll beat him, and then I’ll beat the little middleweight guy.
      “I’m gonna go home and have a good Christmas with my family, and Derek can do the same with his.” More

      A day in the life of Jake Paul: YouTube star takes us inside his brutal training schedule ahead of Anderson Silva fight

      by

      JAKE PAUL has such a hectic training schedule he barely has time to eat lunch as the boxing star gave an insight into his daily routine. The YouTuber-turned boxer returns over the weekend in Arizona against UFC legend Anderson Silva, live on Showtime PPV.

      And for the biggest fight in his 5-0 career, Paul is cutting no corners in camp, whether that be in the gym or recovery.
      The American, based in sunny Puerto Rico, has given SunSport an exclusive look into his training regime, running down a day in the life.
      MORNING
      Paul conducts his sparring sessions at night, to get his body accustomed to fighting at that time.
      So he likes to lay in in until midday after a good night’s sleep, before preparing for the rest of the day.
      He said: “Usually I wake up around 1pm. We train a lot of times at night, we spar at night to sort of mimic the fight. 
      “I wake up and will do some sort of workout if I’m not sparring at night and that can be mitts, shadow boxing.

      “Then after that we usually do abs, neck and a jog. Or weight training.” 
      Paul fills up on a high-protein breakfast of eggs on toast and often swerves lunch.
      He revealed: “Breakfast is just like an omelette, with one piece of toast. 
      “And then sometimes I’ll skip lunch, I’m not really a big lunch person and I think that sort of helps me drop weight.”

      AFTERNOON
      After a morning session, Paul focus on recovery and makes use of all the state-of-the-art equipment at his disposal.
      He has a theralight bed that he will lay in, used to boost energy levels.
      Another technique Paul favours is swapping from his ice bath and hot tub, which lessens muscle fatigue, aiding recovery for injuries.
      Revealing his routine, he said: “I have a stretch therapist, I go into the red light bed, I have a theralight bed that I use.

      “Then I’ll come home, drink some protein right into the ice bath, then I go ice tub, hot tub, ice bath.
      “That usually recharges me right away.”
      As established, Paul snubs a big lunch meal and instead enjoys something light.
      He said: “I’ll usually have like a snack, maybe some fruit and a snack usually like a high-fibre protein bar.”

      EVENING
      If Paul is not sparring at night, he goes back to his roots with content creating.
      He has a new podcast, called BS With Jake Paul, as well as launching micro-betting app Betr, giving him a focus outside of boxing.
      Paul said: “Pretty much the rest of the day I’m either doing interviews like these or working on Betr or my show BS with Jake Paul, which is my new endeavour. 
      “Then there will be some sort of recovery at night.”

      Paul is coming down from 190lb to 187lb for a catchweight clash with Silva, 47, so is watching what he eats for dinner.
      He said: “Dinner is like chicken kenowa, steak kenowa, fish, rice, not a lot of carbs. So it’s been a really tough diet coming down to 187lb. 
      “But we’re wanting to go it the right way, where I can wake up on the morning of the weigh in and have pasta if I want to. 
      “I weigh like 195 right now, so a lot of fighters could just jump in the sauna but that kills you in the fight, you’ll have nothing left in the fight. 
      “So we cut weight the right way, ahead of time so I don’t have to sit in the sauna or the steam room and I’ll actually be in that weight.”

      The American boxer is expected to fly across the pond on January 28, 2023.

      And Nico has so far been continuing the family legacy well as he is undefeated after winning all of his six professional fights.
      The 22-year-old likely picked up a thing or two by repeatedly watching Ali’s fights with the man himself before his death in 2016.

      In fact, the young boxing ace revealed to SunSport how his grandfather’s eyes would “light up” every time he watched his old matches.
      Nico recently said: “The main fights we would watch would be of his fights. When we weren’t watching him on TV, we would watch on my phone my sparring clips and me training.
      “If I had to pick a fight of his we would normally watch Rumble in the Jungle because this is my favourite fight of his. It was fun watching this with him and to see his reaction. I mean, he always reacted when we watched it.
      “I always watch his fights. It’s hard to replicate him because he’s so different so I don’t try to replicate him but I definitely watch them they’re very entertaining.

      “It brings me back to the memories when I was a kid watching with him. I remember his eyes would light up, when he saw himself.
      “That was one of the best things when I watched his fights with him seeing his reactions, how he would react to hitting his opponent, or his opponent hitting him. It was overall fun to see what he thought about his own fights.” More
