    Tyson Fury tells ‘s***house’ Dillian Whyte to sign contract with deadline for title fight TODAY

    TYSON FURY has called Dillian Whyte a ‘s***house’ and told his fellow Brit to ‘sign the contract or jog on’.The deadline for their WBC heavyweight world title clash is by the end of play today.

    Whyte is only getting a 20 per cent share of the total fight purseCredit: Reuters
    The purse is heavily weighted towards the champ Fury, who will take an 80 per cent cut.
    That has not gone down well with Team Whyte, but after years of angling for a world title shot, it would still come as a surprise if he passes up the opportunity.
    Now Fury has posted a video on his Instagram Stories reminding Whyte that the clock is ticking to agree their fight.
    The Gypsy King said: “Today is the final day for signing the contract you big dosser.
    “So get it signed s***house or move on. Jog on you muppet, come on son, get out the way, stiff arse.”
    SunSport has exclusively revealed that Whyte is set for a big-money deal even if his grudge match with Fury falls through.

    Victory on the BT Sport show will land 34-year-old Whyte £9million and the WBC heavyweight title.
    But defeat could damage his brand ahead of a potential move to Hearn’s DAZN streaming app broadcasters in the future.
    WBC mandatory challenger Whyte has so far resisted signing on the dotted line – much to the frustration of Team Fury.
    SunSport understands Whyte’s long-time promotional partner Hearn has an attractive back-up plan on the table.
    The Matchroom boss – who has his shows broadcast on streaming app DAZN – wants to keep one of his star attractions away from Warren and his BT Sport backers.
    But only a guaranteed rematch with Anthony Joshua and perhaps a third clash with fans’ favourite Derek Chisora could make up for a WBC world title shot and £6million basic purse for challenging Fury.

    Noel shines a light on fight
    Many people within boxing have had their say on Saturday’s fight, but Johnny Nelson believes the most astute analysis came from a figure outside of the sport – Noel Gallagher.
    The former cruiserweight champion was part of Sky Sports’ punditry team, and revealed that the Oasis guitarist was on the money with his thoughts.
    Nelson said: “After the fight, this analysis from someone who doesn’t even know boxing was spot on.
    “Noel Gallagher said ‘Kell came to win, Amir came not to lose’, and I thought ‘yeah.’ You had one fighter that was hungry, and was a hunter. Kell was obsessed, and he wasn’t scared to hide it.
    “The other fighter [Khan] was there thinking ‘I’ve got this, I’ve just got to do my thing.'”
    Khan has heart of a lion
    Amir Khan will be remembered as having “the heart of a lion” if he does confirm his retirement from boxing as expected.
    That’s the view of victorious Kell Brook, who paid tribute to his beaten opponent as he spoke to Behind The Gloves after Saturday evening’s fight.
    Brook added: “He took some big shots. He put up a fight, he just came second tonight – but I knew that was happening.”
    Good morning boxing fans
    Kell Brook ended the 20-year war with Amir Khan by bludgeoning him – hopefully into safe retirement – following six savage rounds.
    Two decades after their first schoolboy spar, 10 years after the healthy rivalry turned spiteful and 48 hours after it had turned sinister with tit-for-tat accusations of racism and personal insults, Brook triumphed.
    Khan was punched from pillar-to-post and was ultimately rescued from his own bravery by a compassionate referee.
    Brook roared: “I always knew it was going to happen. What a feeling. I’m back on top now and I’ve got the bragging rights.
    “I always knew from when I was 18 that I was a better fighter than him and tonight the fans got to see a mega fight and I dealt with him.
    “I even had to put different gloves on in the ring.
    “I was told they weren’t gonna pay me if I didn’t put them on.
    “I even had someone knocking on my hotel door at 4am trying to upset my preparation.
    “They tried to get into my head all week but I took care of business. I can live at peace with myself. I’m back, baby.”
    Khan hinted he may retire after his stoppage loss to Brook as he told Sky Sports: “I’ve had 40 fights, winning two world titles, fighting in America and around the world.
    “I need to sit down with my family. But it is more towards the end of my career.
    “The love for the sport isn’t there anymore. In the ring, I didn’t have excitement and that push.
    “That’s maybe a sign that I should call it a day. But let’s see”
    Amir for you
    Kell Brook wants to sit down and enjoy a coffee with Amir Khan after ending their 10-year rivalry.
    Brook told Behind The Gloves: “I said, ‘Listen, you’ve got the heart of a lion’. He took some big shots.
    “I said, ‘Listen, let’s just put that to bed now’. We both said we’re going to put that to bed and maybe have a coffee one time.
    “Whoever gets in that ring, you have to give them that respect. He put up a fight, he just came second tonight.
    “But I knew that was happening”
    Get it Brook-ed
    Conor Benn wants to fight Kell Brook next after seeing him batter Amir Khan.
    Benn told talkSPORT: “I fancy that fight next. I just messaged my trainer. I fancy that fight next. That’s what I said.
    “If I have to wait, I will wait. If I don’t, then I don’t. I just want that fight.
    “He claims to be the best in Britain. He looked unbelievable tonight, he looks in shape, he looked great on the scales.
    “Now that is me challenging myself against a former world champion who claims to be the best.
    “Idols to rivals, that’s what it is.”
    How you Benn?
    Kell Brook has told Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr to fight each other if they want to follow in Amir Khan’s bloody footsteps.
    Brook said: “I think maybe they should fight each other first.
    “I’ve just beaten Amir Khan, I am flavour of the month again, so I’m the man. They have to get in line.
    “I am just going to enjoy this win, I want to spend some time with my beautiful kids, because I have been away so long”
    It must be glove
    Amir Khan and Kell Brook finally ended their long rivalry as they embraced after a thrilling fight.
    Brook produced a sensational performance to bully Khan before stopping him in the sixth round.
    And the 35-year-old bruiser took the defeat graciously as the pair hugged it out in the ring and then again in the post-fight press conference.

    Watch Amir Khan and Kell Brook finally end feud and embrace in emotional scenes outside ring after grudge fight
    Khan addresses past comment
    Amir Khan has finally come clean about his infamous sparring session with Kell Brook… by admitting he cannot even remember it.
    Khan said at the time: “Why is it I got picked for the Olympic team? Because I was schooling Kell Brook with one hand.”
    Khan looked back and said: “To be honest with you Kell I don’t even remember the sparring sessions.
    “I’m serious do you remember them Kell? Listen I sparred Brian Rose when I was 15 and I remember that he kept picking me off.
    “But I can’t even remember me and Kell sparring but it made a good storyline no?”
    More from Brook
    Kell Brook opened up a little more about retirement after his victory over Amir Khan.
    “I’ve always said I never want boxing to retire me, I want to retire from boxing and punishment like that sometimes in boxing, too much of that can be sometimes harmful in the future.
    “I’ll sit down with my wife and my family in the morning and see where we go from here”
    Kell Brook future
    Kell Brook, on the other hand, revealed he will discuss his future with his family after beating Amir Khan.
    Brook said after the fight: “I’ve always wanted to have the fight with Amir.
    “I think this grudge match and this is the icing on the cake for me. I can live at peace with myself, with my career now.
    “Do I want to carry on? I feel like a 23-year-old today. I’m gonna sit down with my family and see if I want to carry on”
    More from Khan
    Amir Khan opened up a little more about a potential retirement after fighting Kell Brook.
    Khan said: “The first time I felt like this was when I fought Bud Crawford. I felt like I just can’t get in the groove. I thought maybe it was just because he was that good. And today again, I tried to get in the groove, and I just couldn’t really get in the groove.
    “It’s something to think about it, definitely. I’ve always said I don’t want boxing to retire me, I want to retire from boxing before it does that. Punishment like that sometimes in boxing, I know I showed a big heart and took some big shots today, but sometimes too much of that can be harmful in the future.
    “I’ve done more than I ever expected. Maybe I peaked too early in my career, I was at the Olympics at 17, I won the world title at 22. I’m 35 now, I’ve been in the game a very long time, I’m an old man now.
    “I want to spend time with my kids and my family. I want to be there for my family, I want to take them to school at be that father”
    Khan retirement reminder
    Amir Khan has hinted he may retire after his stoppage loss to Kell Brook.
    Khan told Sky Sports: “I’ve had 40 fights, winning two world titles, fighting in America and around the world.
    “I need to sit down with my family. But it is more towards the end of my career.
    “The love for the sport isn’t there anymore. In the ring, I didn’t have excitement and that push.
    “That’s maybe a sign that I should call it a day. But let’s see”
    Brook’s trainer wants Mayweather fight
    Kell Brook’s trainer, Dominic Ingle, has urged promoter Ben Shalom
    Floyd Mayweather has been called out of retirement to fight Kell Brook by the Brit’s trainer.
    Several potential opponents have been touted for Brook after his demolition of Khan last night.
    But his trainer Dominic Ingle revealed that Money May’s one of the only names worthy of fighting Brook.
    And to make the bout happen, Ingle called on promoter Ben Shalom for his assistance.
    Ingle said: “There’s got to be some good fights out there, I’m thinking Mayweather. Get Mayweather out of retirement and we’ll make that fight.
    “If it can be made, Ben, you’re the man apparently. Get in touch with Floyd.”

    City slam Foden’s mum attack
    Man City have slammed the “appalling abuse” suffered by Phil Foden and his family after a horrifying video showing his mum hurt in a brawl emerged overnight.

    Khan’s loss of boxing love
    Amir Khan has revealed that his love of boxing has waned after losing to Kell Brook.
    Speaking after the fight, Khan said: “40 fights, a lot of fights. Winning two world titles, fighting up and down in America and around the world. I need to sit down with my family. But I think it is more towards the end of my career.
    “Obviously, that love of the sport is not there anymore. I used to have that excitement and that push but I just didn’t have it in me. I felt quite flat.
    “I think that’s maybe a sign for me to know that maybe I should be calling it a day maybe but let’s see.”

    The life-long City fan Gallagher saw the funny side and responded while smirking: “Of course I’m upset, we’ll talk about this later.”

    Brook predicted Khan win
    Kell Brook has revealed that he always knew he was better than Amir Khan.
    And he also claimed he had no doubt that he would defeat his adversary when they finally stepped in the ring.
    Brook said after the fight: “I put a lot of pressure on myself because I told everyone — and I did believe it but I still have to get in there, it’s a boxing fight at the end of the day.
    “But I always knew from when I was 18 years old I were a better fighter than him, and tonight the fans got to see a mega-fight and I dealt with him.”
    Jake my dream come true
    Boxer Jake Darnell revealed he took on Olympian Frazer Clarke just so he could watch Brook and Khan go at it.
    Darnell ended up on the undercard of Brook’s win over Khan, and he let it be known before his fight that he only agreed to take on Clarke to see the main event.
    He explained to IFLTV: “I was down at the public workout on Wednesday, asked my manager, ‘Come on mate, can you get me a ticket?’
    “He was like, ‘It’s not gonna happen.’
    “Got a call Thursday off him. He was like, ‘I’ve got you a ticket for the fight, but you’ve gotta fight Frazer.’
    “So I’m like, ‘No dramas, let’s go and have it.’”
    Peak times

    Khan reflected on his earlier successes in his career when assessing if it’s time to call it a day in the ring.
    He said: “My boxing career, I’ve done more than I ever expected.
    “Maybe I peaked too early in my career. At 17 I was in the Olympics, won a world title at 21/22 – I’m 35 now, been in the game a very long time.
    “I’m an old man now. I want to spend time with my kids and my family.”
    Brook’s pinnacle career moment
    Kell Brook has revealed that beating Amir Khan was the pinnacle of his career.
    And he has no plans of hanging up his gloves anytime soon.
    Kell Brook: “I’ve had a fantastic career. Over to America [to beat] Shawn Porter for the IBF title. Been in with GGG, Spence, Crawford. This [Amir Khan] is the icing on the cake for me. I can live at peace with myself. I’m gonna sit down with my family, see if we wanna carry on.”— Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) February 20, 2022

    Khan praises Brook’s performance
    Amir Khan offered no excuses for his loss at the hands of long-time foe Kell Brook.
    The pair have been at logger-heads for a decade and Brook got the better of Khan when they finally settled their differences.
    However, after the fight Khan had nothing but good things to say about his adversary.
    He said: “No excuses the better man won and he boxed out of his skin I have to say.
    I didn’t expect that from him especially from the fights I have seen before.
    “No disrespect to Kell he put on a great performance today and he came out to win. At the end of the day we have rivalries but as I say after I punch them we can be friends.
    “He put a great performance on and did everything he needed to. He was the best man tonight. I had a great, great training camp, but I just couldn’t get going.
    “I was missing quite a lot. Kell was on his A-game, all respect goes out to him.”
    Brooks’ brutality paid off
    Brook’s took no prisoners when he discarded of Khan last night.
    Before the fight, both fighters predicted how they planned to win the brawl.
    But in the end Brook prevailed, and after the fight stats were revealed, it was clear there would only be one winner on the night.
    The stats from the fight showed that Brook landed 64 power punches – compared to Khan’s measly 19, talkSPORT reported.
    Best of British
    Conor Benn is ready to go toe-to-toe with Kell Brook after being impressed with his counterpart’s demolition of Amir Khan.
    Speaking to talkSPORT, Benn mused: “After Josh Kelly messed up, who is there now for me?
    “Who can I really test myself against? Who claims to be the best in Britain?
    “He is still sharp, he has still got his timing, he has still got accuracy. That makes the fight more realistic.”

    After his six-round demolition job over Khan, 35, Sheffield’s ex-welterweight champion already had two potential rival’s ringside.
    Middleweight contender Eubank Jr, 32, and welterweight prospect Benn, 25, both worked as pundits in Manchester and called out Brook.
    But Sky Sports’ Carl Froch – no stranger to all-British beef – told Brook to stay at welterweight with Benn instead of moving up for Eubank Jr.
    Froch, 44, said to iFL TV: “That’s more of a sensible fight. That’s what I should have said when I was talking about Chris Eubank Jr.

    Brook, 35, has only once gone as high as middleweight, in a 2016 defeat to Gennady Golovkin, 39.
    He replaced Eubank Jr, who failed to agree terms with GGG, and the grudge has remained ever since.
    Unbeaten Benn is on the rise and building his record against experienced but declining campaigners.
    He visited Khan’s dressing room following the crushing loss and promised to avenge the defeat on his behalf.
    But Froch, who retired in 2014 after knocking out George Groves, 33, at Wembley, called for Brook to hang them up in a similar way.
    If he’s going to fight again, should it be Chris Eubank Jr, or should it be Conor Benn? Conor Benn absolutely just because of the size.”Carl Froch on Kell Brook
    He said: “I actually want Kell Brook to retire now, 100 per cent.
    “I think one of the reasons he was able to stay in there is because of, and I don’t want to take anything away from his performance because he did really well, but it was because of the lack of what was coming back from Amir Khan.
    “That’s why I say Khan has got to retire. If he doesn’t, it’s stupid. It’s ridiculous.
    “He can’t carry on fighting; it’s as simple as that. I’d like to see Kell retire now after that win.
    “It was a great win, but if he’s going to fight again, should it be Chris Eubank Jr, or should it be Conor Benn? Conor Benn absolutely just because of the size.”

    Kell Brook tells Chris Eubank Jr he needs to lose weight if he wants British showdown after sweeping aside Amir Khan

    Eubank Jr and Brook fell out in 2016 when the son of legend Chris Sr was left fuming after his rival leapfrogged him in negotiations for a dream mega-money fight with Gennady Golovkin.
    After watching the fight in Manchester on Saturday night, Eubank Jr said he would “maybe” agree to fight at 158lb but no lower.
    And he tweeted: “You fought GGG at 160 so you will do the same with me if you want the biggest payday (& beating) of your career.
    “If not I’ve got much bigger fish to fry anyway . . . you don’t @SpecialKBrook”
    “Brook responded: “155 otherwise don’t mention my name.”
    The Sheffield fighter, 35, said: “I don’t like him and that fight can happen. I will have talks with Eubank and see what happens.
    “I know I am at the backend of my career but I know I can fight again once I finish enjoying this win.”

    Eubank Jr, 32, said: “It’s a massive fight for British boxing. Me and Kell don’t get on, he has said before that he wants to ‘kick my head in’.
    “I was not expecting Kell to be as dominant but let’s see how spicy he can get with me. His performance against Khan makes our fight incredible.”
    Rising welterweight prospect Conor Benn, 25, was refused access to the ring post-fight to challenge Brook.
    Brook, a former IBF world champion, suggested the two famous fighting offspring — who are yet to win major honours — fight each other first.
    He grinned and said: “I’ve just beaten Amir Khan, so I’m the man. They have to get in line.”

    Fury is adamant he is not pinning his boxing hopes on fighting the American YouTuber.
    But he is still willing to settle the score once and for all, with his promoter Frank Warren still trying to renegotiate with Paul.
    Fury, 22, told Sky Sports: “I’d like to see the fight happen back end of the year.
    “I’m not really really waiting around for him, he knows I’m here and I’m ready to fight at all times. I’ve put that out there countless times.
    “I’m not the issue here, if we wanted to fight the man would have rescheduled date by now but the ball’s in his court.
    “I’m ready to fight whenever. I’d like to see the fight happen at the end of the year.
    “I know Frank is still trying to reach out to him and stuff like that.”

    Paul, 25, is now 5-0 in his career and knocked out Fury’s replacement Tyron Woodley, 39, in round six of their late-notice rematch.
    He had initially beaten the ex-UFC champion on points only four months earlier.
    Paul’s three prior wins came against online rival ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37.
    But he is still yet to fight an opponent with prior professional boxing experience, with Fury hoping to be that man.
    Paul had demanded his British rival make an appearance on big brother Tyson’s undercard to earn the right to reschedule their clash.
    And Fury appears on board, with the Gypsy King, 33, set to fight Dillian Whyte, also 33, on April 23, possibility at Wembley’s 90,000 seater stadium.
    He said: “I do think the fight is still there because, he’s no daft, who else is he going to fight? He’s got nobody else to fight.
    “This fight is the biggest fight for him to take at the minute and he knows that full well.
    “But I think I’m looking to get a run out on Tyson’s undercard next, that’s the plan moving forward and then we’ll try set that fight up at the end of the year.”
