      Boxing Scene claim that Fury, 23, is likely to face the 5-2 New Yorker on November 13.
      Fury, the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, is 8-0 as a professional boxer.
      And he will try to maintain that unbeaten record against the relatively-unknown US Marine Corps veteran Bamba.
      The 33-Year-old is the founder and president of Trifecta Strong, a boxing and fitness training company.

      The match up comes after the former Love Island star turned down a bout with ex-UFC champ Tyron Woodley. 
      Fury is said to have made things difficult for promoters in the Middle East who wanted to see him in a big name fight.
      The Mirror report that he was never keen to face Woodley despite multiple efforts to make it happen.
      Meanwhile Jake Paul, who Woodley has suffered two defeats to, couldn’t help but take a dig at Fury after learning his rival is expecting a child.

      He quote-tweeted pictures from the pair’s pregnancy announcement video and wrote: “Shocking. Tommy usually pulls out.”
      Paul’s jibe was in reference to his two cancelled fights with Fury.
      The pair – who began their feud on social media – were first scheduled to do battle last December in Florida.
      The Tampa tussle, however, fell through days before the bout as Fury was forced to withdraw due to injury.
      The pair then tried again this August, but the British light-heavyweight was withdrawn amid a US visa issue. More

      by

      However, some of these messages are rather bizarre to say the least, with Bridges revealing some of the requests she has been previously sent.
      Speaking on an episode of Pub Talk, she said: “I get love letters, all kinds of stuff.
      “I get asked for bath water, toe-nail clippings, sweat.”
      Bridges then explained how she deals with “jealous” trolls.

      She added: “I ignore it (troll messages). Anyone who is successful, they’re going to get the jealousy, the hate, people will try to drag you down.
      “That’s just normal. The people talking s***, they don’t know me, so why should I sit there and get emotional and bothered by someone who has never met me?
      “I’m very secure within myself. I’ve been through hell and back in my life and I’m very secure, I love who I am.”
      Bridges turned into a boxing pro in 2019 and won each of her first five fights, and is currently on a three-bout win streak.

      In 2020, the “Blonder Bomber” admitted to having indulged certain fan requests in the pursuit of getting some extra income such as selling dirty training socks.
      In a previous interview with talkSPORT, she said: “Give me your money, that’s my response! You want my stuff, then you’ve got to give me your money. There’s plenty of weird people out there.
      “I haven’t sold my bath water, but I’ve been getting so many weird requests I was thinking, should I go buy some jars? I’ve done the socks and my feet because it’s a laugh and harmless.
      “I thought it was funny and they ended up paying, so now any requests that come through, I’m just like here is my PayPal.
      “You’d think normal people would want lingerie or something like that, but it’s all feet and socks. I do get the random requests for the bath water and other weird things which I won’t go into now.

      “It’s all side money at the end of the day, if they want to pay then it’s up to them. I don’t care really, as long as I’m putting food on my table and the bills are being paid, I’m happy.”
      Bridges has previously been pictured alongside OnlyFans star Elle Brooke, but has also dismissed fan requests for her to copy a celebration of bare-knuckle boxer Tai Emery.

      Joshua, 32, had insisted on Sunday he would sign it, but his promoter Eddie Hearn was adamant there was “no chance” it would  be done by Fury’s self-imposed deadline, claiming the details “were all over the place.”
      Fury’s BT Sport broadcasters and AJ’s streaming app DAZN also met yesterday to  plot a mutually beneficial pay-per-view TV plan for the £75million superfight after AJ had verbally agreed a 60-40 purse split.
      Team Joshua will now accuse Fury of bluffing all along and never being serious with the offer.
      But Fury, 34, added: “You’ve had this contract 10 days now, b**** and still not signed it.
      “I have had Frank on the phone and I am not extending until tomorrow. Tomorrow it is off the table.”
      Fury is now most likely to fight Germany-based 37-year-old Manuel Charr after iconic recent wins over Deontay Wilder and Dillian Whyte.

      The win earnt “Money” another £20million.
      The self-proclaimed “Best Ever” was forced to evade heavy artillery coming his way early on in the scrap.
      Mayweather did pick up the pace towards the end of the opening round as he started to fire off his famous piston-like right hand.
      The second proved to be all out action with the American starting on the front foot.

      Mayweather, 45, landed a series of rear hand shots, both to head and body.
      But Asakura, 30, fired back and even landed a perfect counter right hook, which snapped Mayweather’s head back.
      Now slow-motion footage of the punch has emerged which has seemingly revealed how much it caught the icon off-guard.
      But it did seem to spark Mayweather into action with the star soon landing a huge right of his own.

      It crashed into the side of Asakura’s head, seemingly affecting his equilibrium and leaving him unable to continue.
      Pacquiao, 43, who retired last year, entered the ring after the knockout and embraced with Mayweather.
      It came after Mayweather said: “Another legend right here, eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao. Great champion. Unbelievable world champion.”
      Mayweather officially retired in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 34, in ten rounds before embarking on a series of exhibition bouts. He is set to face YouTuber Deji, 25, next in Dubai in November but said he will be back in the Far East soon. More
