      His older brother Tyson, 35, is a legend of British boxing and currently reigns as the WBC world heavyweight champion.
      Meanwhile younger sibling Tommy is 10-0 but shot to mainstream fame on the 2019 edition of reality TV show Love Island.
      His celebrity status has seen Tommy, 24, earn massive payday fights against YouTube’s biggest boxing stars Jake Paul and KSI.
      Tommy edged past Paul, 26, via split-decision in February and controversially beat KSI, 30, also on points in October.

      Now brother Roman fancies a slot on a Misfists show and called out Chase Demoor, who was on Netflix show Too Hot to Handle.
      Roman, 27, told SecondsOut: “One hundred per cent he can have it whenever he wants.
      “I’d fight Chase DeMoor tomorrow. I think he’s absolutely pathetically useless and I don’t want wanna sound mean but I’m just being honest with you.
      “I’d fight him any day without training. So, Chase DeMoor find your b*****s, mate and let’s get it on.

      “But it would be a very bad decision on your behalf if you was to take the fight with me.”
      DeMoor, 27, was actually beaten in his last bout, losing to YouTuber Tempo Arts, 19, on KSI’s undercard.
      The American later failed in appealing the loss.

      And it would have been seen by masses as it featured on free-to-air TV on Channel 5.
      The station has been somewhat of a happy hunting ground for the Fury family.
      After all, it is where superstar Tyson made his name.
      The current WBC heavyweight world champion had several fights on Channel 5 in his early days when signed to Mick Hennessy.

      In 2011, he beat Derek Chisora over 12 rounds for the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles.
      It was considered an upset at the time and a massive THREE MILLION viewers tuned in.
      Fury’s later wins against Nicolai Firtha, Neven Pajkic, Martin Rogan, Vinny Maddalone, Kevin Johnson and Steve Cunningham were also on Channel 5.
      Some of 35-year-old Tyson’s relatives also fought on his undercards on the terrestrial TV channel.

      Cousin Phil boxed on the night of Tyson’s 2011 win over Chisora, losing on the undercard to Lee Noble.
      He retired in 2012 at 13-3, winning his last three bouts.
      Tyson’s brother Young Hughie’s last fight against Imantas Davidaitis, which he won over four rounds, was aired on Channel 5.
      He also retired from boxing in 2015 at 6-1 but remains a part of Tyson’s team.
      Cousin Hughie – like the Gypsy King – made early strides on the channel while signed with Hennessy.
      His 2018 KO against Sam Sexton garnered a huge 2.9m viewers.
      Hughie has not fought since his October 2021 stoppage of Christian Hammer amid a health battle.
      The only big name from the family not to be on the platform is Tommy, who shot to mainstream fame in 2019 on reality TV show Love Island.
      Tommy, 24, boxed exclusively on BT Sports under Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren.

      That included a pay-per-view fight against YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul, 26, which he won on points with over 800,000 buys.
      But after leaving Warren, Tommy beat Paul’s arch enemy KSI in DAZN PPV bout, which organisers say sold 1.3m buys.

      Anthony Joshua in talks to fight man who almost beat Tyson Fury with Deontay Wilder facing ex-champ in big double header

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA and Deontay Wilder are in talks with separate opponents to fight on the same card in Saudi Arabia. The heavyweight superstars were lined up for a huge bout years in the making until Saudi backers pulled out.

      So the two now face the prospect of returning in interim fights before negotiations can resume.
      Boxing bosses in Saudi had planned for a massive event on December 23 between Tyson Fury, 35, and Oleksandr Usyk, 36.
      But Fury was dropped and left fortunate to walk away with a controversial win over ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou, 37, only eight weeks beforehand.
      So the historic first four-belt heavyweight unification has been postponed until February.

      However, the Saudis still want a show on December 23.
      According to Dan Rafael, it could see Joshua, 34, and Wilder, 38, fight in individual bouts on the same card.
      Reports from International Boxing News say AJ is in talks with former sparring partner Otto Wallin, 32.
      Wallin famously gave Fury 47 stitches and almost scored a shock TKO victory before controversially losing on points.

      He is now lined up for an IBF interim title fight with Filip Hrgovic, 31, where the winner would face the Fury-Usyk winner or inherit the vacated belt.
      So if Joshua were to beat Wallin it could force through an IBF title fight against Hrgovic.
      Or, it could pave the way for a blockbuster with Wilder, who IBN claim is in talks with ex-WBO champion Joseph Parker, 31, who recently won on Fury’s Saudi undercard.

      Logan Paul announces retirement from boxing and reveals why he will become a full-time WWE star

      by

      LOGAN PAUL has announced his retirement from boxing to focus on WWE. The YouTube sensation recently won his first bout in the boxing ring, beating online rival and jiu jitsu champion Dillon Danis.

      And only a month later, he defeated WWE icon Rey Mysterio to win the United States Championship.
      The winning streak has left Paul with a decision on how he will commit his future.
      And he told Fox Business: “I think I’m retired from boxing.
      “I’ve done enough going fully undefeated at 25-0. I’m going to be a wrestler now.

      “No more money in boxing, every company is going broke. Full-time wrestler. Beat Rey Mysterio. Fair and square for the US Championship.
      “It feels great. It was a dominant performance. Some frog splashes, some punches, it feels good.”
      Paul, 28, first stepped into boxing in 2018 and drew against KSI, 30, only to lose the rematch a year later when they turned professional.
      The pair are now friends and business partners following the launch of their Prime hydration drink.
      Most read in Boxing
      Paul also faced boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, 46, in a 2021 exhibition and beat Danis, 30, over six rounds.
      But his future looks to be in the WWE after beating Mysterio at the Crown Jewel pay-per-view event for the US title.
      Despite Paul’s boxing future looking in doubt, he has no shortage of challengers in the WWE.
      He said: “I have to defend this belt. There are going to be people coming after me. Seth Rollins, LA Knight, Cody Rhodes.
      “Whoever wants it, they can come get it. Mr. Bad Bunny. Whoever wants it can come get it. I have stuff to do in WWE.”

      Oleksandr Usyk says he ‘LOVES’ Tyson Fury despite Gypsy King’s verbal insults as undisputed title fight draws closer

      by

      OLEKSANDR USYK has nothing but love for Tyson Fury – despite the constant verbal onslaughts. The eccentric Gypsy King has slammed Usyk as a “midget”, “sucker”, “p***y”, and a “sausage” to name a few foul-mouthed digs.

      But the masterful Ukrainian – who has signed to fight Fury next – refuses to hold a grudge against his rival.
      Usyk, 36, told AP: “I heard so many insults about myself, that at some point I started flipping them over and making them my achievements.
      “I love this incredible person. As a human being I feel no hostility towards him. I simply love people, including Tyson Fury.”
      Usyk was ringside in Saudi Arabia to watch as Fury, 35, returned against ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou, 37.

      The pair were then due to announce their historic four-belt unification bout for December 23 afterwards.
      But the expected routine crossover clash turned into a nightmare for Fury, who was dropped in round three.
      And he was deemed fortunate to walk away with a controversial split-decision win.
      It kept the heavyweight division’s first undisputed title decider with all four belts at stake alive – albeit postponed until February.

      So Usyk remains sceptical of the bout until the first bell officially sounds.
      He said: “I’m not 100 per cent sure. I will be sure when I’m Iin the ring.
      “I will stand in one corner, Tyson Fury will stand in the opposite corner, between us a referee in a white shirt, and only when I hear the sound of a bell – that’s when I’ll understand that yes, the game is on.
      “I want this to work out, I want this fight to happen. The fact that it is postponed is no problem to me. I’m satisfied.
      “I don’t care about material things. I care for the path I follow.”

      Meanwhile, X Factor star Quickenden, 35, won his MMA debut with a first-round knockout of comedian Paul Smith.
      And with Oktagon MMA coming to Newcastle on January 27, Chalmers, 36, has the perfect bout to bring him back into the cage.
      He said: ”This is a message for Jake Quickenden, I saw your MMA debut the other day. It was very impressive.
      “I’ve been out of the MMA loop for four years now, but I know Oktagon has a big show in Newcastle and I am the hometown hero.

      “You are 1-0, and I haven’t stepped foot in an MMA ring for four years. Let’s get the party started!”
      All five of Chalmers’ wins in the cage came by stoppage, either from a knockout or submission.
      He has since had four boxing bouts, winning his professional debut on points against Alexander Zeledon.
      This year alone, he faced boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, 46, and UFC welterweight Kiefer Crosbie, 33.

      His most recent fight was on KSI’s Misfits Boxing promotion, losing in round three to Idris Virgo, 30.
      Quickenden was meanwhile quick to shut down any comparisons to influencer boxers after his first pro MMA win.
      He said: “They don’t have to do a weight cut, they don’t have to train for 10 months to learn 5 different disciplines.
      “We did a proper weight cut, we lived a fighter’s life, sorry I’m quite emotional about this.”
