Perry is signed to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship – which McGregor recently became part-owner of. Paul goaded that he would give McGregor a “fourth or fifth row ticket” with his star power no longer warranting anything better.

      Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua is a fight between ‘TWO LOSERS’, says ex-champ as Battle of Britain suffers fresh delay

      by

      THE long-overdue showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua has sensationally been branded a battle of “TWO LOSERS”.Boxing fans around the world have been itching for a fight between the Brit duo to come to fruition for the best part of a decade.Brit boxing fans still want to see Tyson Fury throw down with Anthony JoshuaCredit: GettyBut their long-overdue Battle of Britain is a million miles away at this moment in timeCredit: GETTYFormer WBC super-middleweight champ Carl Froch has claimed the fight is a battle between “two losers”Credit: REUTERSBut the fight is seemingly a million miles away from ever happening following the pair’s respective losses to undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.A win for Fury in his December rematch with the former pound-for-pound king will further delay Saudi’s grand plans for him to finally do the dance with AJ.But former two-time super-middleweight champion Carl Froch could care LESS about the Battle of Britain.He told Lord Ping: “I’m not surprised Fury’s activated the rematch clause, where else can he go?READ MORE BOXING NEWS”Does anyone want to see Fury and Anthony Joshua – it’s two losers isn’t it?”You’ve got two losers there fighting over second place.”Froch would’ve been excited to watch Fury vs Joshua had the Gypsy King won last month’s historic Riyadh rumble with Usyk.He said: “It would have been huge if Fury beat Usyk, but now it’s two losers in a rubber match.Most read in BoxingBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSFor all the love for resurgent AJ… these two are head, shoulders and fists ahead of everyone else
      OLEKSANDR USYK is the deserved undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, writes Wally Downes Jr
      A great biggun doesn’t always beat a great littleun, not when David has the weight of a besieged nation on his shoulders and is able to swing each compatriot into every punch.
      Usyk did what Usyk does, he moved magnificently, he counter punched and he outworked his taller and heavier opponent.
      He somehow manages to use every physical disadvantage to his favour.
      But what the hell is Fury doing getting up in round nine?
      Why is a father-of-eight with £300million in the bank, three best-selling books and a Netflix series going to the well like?
      Britain is not fighting back Putin’s army, Morecambe is not occupied.
      So when the 35-year-old’s senses are scrambled, when the canvas is calling him, when he is so desperate not to be felled he is willing to bounce around all the ropes like a drunk, when he eventually has to collapse into a corner, why doesn’t he just stay down?
      He has earned the right to surrender as well as his millions.
      The sheer courage and guts and bloody mindedness it takes to climb off that deck, with a broken nose and a crumbling ego is not comprehensible to us mortals.
      Fury said he felt he won the fight but was too dignified to call robbery or corruption, no doubt his dad will taint that decency by the time you’ve read this.
      The rematch will be superb.
      Because for all the love we have for a resurgent Anthony Joshua – who was ringside for that iconic event – these two polar opposite men are head, shoulders, fists, hearts and brains ahead of everyone else.
      There is the top two, then there is a void and then there is the rest.
      Read Wally’s big fight verdict in full here…

      “I’m not that excited about it, if Nottingham Forest are playing I’m watching that instead.””Fury should try and rectify the defeat to Usyk. I think he needs to rectify the loss if he’s going to be remembered as a top fighter of the era.Anthony Joshua to fight Daniel Dubois as Wally Downes Jr gives rundown on all-British bout “To be remembered the best, he’s going to have to beat Usyk.”Fury, 35, has gone on record with his desire to have back-to-back fights with Joshua after fulfilling his dream of becoming undisputed heavyweight champion.And should he win his rematch and the subsequent trilogy fight with the Usyk, Froch has no doubt in his mind that he’ll do a number on AJ.He said: “Fury-Usyk was a close fight, so I’d make Fury the favourite against AJ. “What’s AJ done since losing to Andy Ruiz?”He’s had comeback fights against opponents who didn’t want to be in there with him, he lost twice to Usyk and he beat Ngannou in an exhibition.”AJ has been flattered by the low-level opposition he’s been fighting at. “If Fury jumps in there with AJ now on the back of that performance, I’d make Fury the favourite.”READ MORE SUN STORIESFormer WBC king Fury is set to renew his rivalry with Usyk in Riyadh on December 21.Joshua, meanwhile, is set to return to the ring in late September in a domestic dust-up with interim IBF champion Daniel Dubois.

      I ran 100-mile hell marathon in step-daughter’s memory – boxing comeback after ban will be easy

      by

      LIAM CAMERON ran 100 miles of hell to help him get back from the darkest depths of losing his career and his step-daughter.In 2018 the Sheffield fighter was handed an incredibly harsh four-year British boxing ban when a metabolite of cocaine was found in his system.Liam Cameron and friend Hassan took on the 100-mile round trip to ManchesterAnd he suffered another devastating blow in 2020 when his step-daughter was killed in a traffic incident just two days before her 21st birthday.Struggling to cope, the former Commonwealth middleweight champ battled addiction and survived an attempt on his own life.But last year, as the sport welcomed him back and he started a four-fight win streak, he took on a Sheffield-Manchester round-trip marathon to raise money for a tribute to Tiegan and prove his fitness to return to the ring.Ahead of his Friday night fight with Lyndon Arthur, live on Channel 5, Cameron told SunSport: “It was a crazy idea really, me and my pal Hassan just wanted to see if we could do it.
