      They saved the best till last in their trilogy classic in 2021, which included FIVE total knockdowns.
      Fury, who was floored twice himself in round four, dropped Wilder three times on the way to a knockout in the 11th.
      But an “amazing” fourth fight could be on the way with Wilder, 37, ordered to face Andy Ruiz Jr, 33, in a WBC final eliminator.
      Although Fury will only share the ring with his American rival if he travels to the UK.

      He told BT Sport: “That’d be amazing here.
      “I’ve been over there three times, if he wants the fourth fight, he’s gotta come to England. Do that at Wembley, break all records again.”
      Fury defends his belt on December 3 against Derek Chisora – the man he has twice beaten in one-sided fashion.
      Their unexpected trilogy came after proposed super-fights with Oleksandr Usyk, 35, and Anthony Joshua, 33, broke down.

      And Fury – who only announced his boxing retirement in April – admitted he is lacking motivation ahead of his return.
      He told Carl Frampton: I’m boxing today for no reasons, for no gain, for no goals.
      “So it’s like I’m treading water and until I meet someone who’s very hungry, who’s not treading water and doing it because they need to put food in their kids’ stomach and pay their bills, then that day is going to be a say day for me, isn’t it.
      “So, my heart is not in boxing, but I have nothing else. Without boxing I am nothing.
      “Even though I’m a multi-millionaire and a family man, great, that’s all aside.
      “But my passion and my love affair has been with boxing from a child and I can’t let it go.

      “I am here today to say I am a very, very, very selfish person, because I should have walked away in April when I said I was going to walk away.
      “And I’m back for more punishment, an idiot really, but what can we do?”

      The YouTuber-turned boxer heckled from ringside and the two later clashed post-fight with security having to restrain them.
      At one point, Tommy’s father and coach John ripped off his shirt and challenged Paul to a bare-knuckle fight.
      And he boasted of striking fear into the eyes of his son’s celebrity boxing rival, ahead of another potentially rescheduled grudge match.

      John told iFL TV: “I’m ready for a fight. You know me, I’ll fight.
      “I’m drawing me pension on Monday but I’ll peck mate. I will peck with any man on this world, especially him.
      “I looked in his eyes, and I’ve fought many a man, he ain’t got the eyes of a fighting man.
      “He absolutely s*** his trousers. His full team s*** their trousers, not just him, his manager as well.”

      Twice the celebrity boxing foes have signed to fight but both times Fury was withdrawn.
      He suffered a rib injury last December and then was pulled out in the rehashed date in August amid a US visa issue, which still persists.
      John named Dubai as the venue to renegotiate after striking a verbal deal with Paul’s manager Nakisa Bidarian.
      He said: “Contracts mean nothing to me but a handshake does and my word, you can build a tower block on it.
      “He’s given me his word, his manager, we fight in February. And where better place? The world of Dubai.”
      Paul beat 47-year-old UFC legend Anderson Silva in his last fight in October, the biggest win in his 6-0 career.
      Fury was set to return against 5-2 American Paul Bamba, 33, but the bout was dramatically scrapped on the day due to a weight disagreement.
      Instead, 17-bout Lambert, 33, filled in on just hours notice but it was unable to be sanctioned as a professional fight.

      “And I’m back for more punishment, an idiot really, but what can we do?”
      Fury, 34, claimed he was walking away after knocking out Dillian Whyte, also 34, at Wembley but retirement lasted a matter of months.
      But the fear of falling into depression, like he did after first winning the belts in 2015, has brought him back to the pain game.
      Fury confessed: “For the four months I was retired, I’ve never felt so back to 2016, 2015, 2017, ever before since then.
      “But I was back in that moment in time when life was very dull and very dark and there was no way out for me again.”

      ‘He’s not a killer’ – Anthony Joshua called out by forgotten rival Jarrell Miller who says Oleksandr Usyk ‘beat him up’

      by

      JARRELL MILLER claimed Anthony Joshua is “not a killer” after Oleksandr Usyk “beat him up.” Miller, who failed to fight AJ in 2019 after a series of failed drug tests, still wants to settle the score with his old rival.

      And he believes Joshua, 33, is damaged goods following consecutive defeats to unbeaten unified champion Usyk, 35.
      Miller, 34, said on the BOXR podcast: “I’ve still got to punch that scallywag, crumpets and tea because if you watching, ever since I punked his a*** in New York he’s never been the same.
      “He lost all his marbles, Andy [Ruiz Jr] smoked him, Usyk smoked him twice.
      “I tell people this, media can be your worst enemy or your best friend. Media was both, it made him be something that he wasn’t.

      “He’s not a killer, he’s not an animal, he’s not a savage. I know killers and savages in the ring, he’s not one of them.
      “So, I always knew that, and I knew whenever he’s in front of a super tough task he’s going to crumble, he’s going to crack, and Usyk just ran from him and beat him up.”
      Joshua is set to return in the new year after taking a break from boxing to recover mentally.
      Whereas Miller wants to get back in the ring after being granted a professional boxing licence in Las Vegas again.

      The shamed heavyweight was initially hit with a two-year ban dating back to a positive test ahead of his proposed fight with Jerry Forrest.
      But the Nevada State Athletic Commission have now cleared Miller to fight just over two years on.
      Miller infamously failed three Voluntary Anti-Doping Association pre-fight drug tests before he was set to face Joshua over three years ago.
      He blamed his failed test before fighting AJ on a tainted supplement and stem cell shots in his elbow.
      AJ went on to suffer a shock loss, the first of his career, against stand-in Andy Ruiz Jr, 33.
      Miller in 2020 earned a contract with Bob Arum’s Top Rank stable but again tested positive for a banned substance.
      This time the ex-kickboxer put it down to a SEX PILL and was handed a two-year suspension.
      Miller enrolled in VADA testing in December 2020 and has returned clean drug tests since, which saw him able to return this summer.
      The American beat Ariel Esteban Bracamonte, 29, and Derek Cardenas, 24, in his first two comeback bouts.

      by

      The boxing legend was quizzed on his bruised left cheek in the post-fight press conference and laughed it off.
      He said: “How’s my left eye? Yeah, absolutely (it’s bruised). That’s cool, we had fun tonight.
      “You guys wanted to see a little something. A had to close the gap, you know, when you close the gap, it happens.”
      Mayweather, boxing in his fifth exhibition bout since officially retiring in 2017, toyed with Deji throughout the entirety of the contest.

      He danced, chanted and even held up the ring card in between rounds.
      But Deji, 25, managed to land a few blows and walked away with a moral victory after marking up unbeaten Mayweather, 45.
      He posted on Instagram: “I gave Floyd Mayweather a black eye.”
      The social media sensation, brother to KSI, admitted he wasted no time in making the online brag.

      He joked: “It was amazing, I guess I was a little bit eager! I cut Floyd, you guys saw it, right?”
      Deji was halted on his feet in the corner following a barrage of punches by Mayweather, but contested that it was premature.
      He said after the bout: “It was an early stoppage, I wanted to carry on. But I mean, boxing’s boxing, I understand. It feels good, honestly.”
