      The unbeaten younger brother of WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury comes into the fight having beaten KSI’s arch rival Jake Paul via split-decision in Saudi Arabia back in February.
      And having already chalked one off his list, the 24-year-old ex-Love Islander wants to put the crossover boxing scene to bed by securing wins over the pair.
      However, during an appearance with his father, John Fury, on GMB today, he shocked host Garraway when dishing out a threat to KSI.
      Fury, whose fiancee Molly-Mae Hague gave birth to baby girl Bambi in January, began by claiming: “This is an easy win for me, I’m training like I’m training for an undisputed world title fight.

      “When I jump in the ring with KSI he will quickly realise that fighting a YouTuber is completely different to fighting a professional boxer.”
      With his dad nodding in approval next to him, he then warned: “This is a message for KSI. Cut all of that fancy talk out, the laughs and all the stupid bandanas, whatever you want to do… come October 14 his life will be ruined.

      “All his singing, podcasting, his business, it will all be finished as mark my words, he’ll be leaving Manchester Arena in an ambulance. I can quite clearly guarantee it.”
      “Crikey,” replied Garraway before adding: “I’m actually getting a little bit disturbed by all of this.”

      Dad John already helped to raise the heat between the two fighters as their latest press conference to promote the fight descended into chaos when he began flipping tables on stage this week.
      And the former bare-knuckle boxer predicted more carnage come fight night as he claimed his son will keep punching his opponent until he “URINATES” himself and warned it will be a “street-fight with gloves on” at the event.
      After claiming his “good-looking son” can beat anybody out there, Fury then told Garraway and GMB viewers today: “Don’t be deceived by looks. This kid can fight, he’s as tough as boots.”
      And he then finished off by promising: “The fans are going to love it.”
      KSI also appeared on the ITV show last month and made a better impression on Garraway.
      The 30-year-old sat down in the studio to discuss his global fame, appeal to young people and how he keeps his private life under wraps.
      But he then stood up to give Garraway a punching demonstration – with the presenter later throwing some punches at co-host Richard Madeley.

      Fury has taken pelters for fighting boxing novice Ngannou instead of taking part in an undisputed title fight with Oleksandr Usyk, who many expect him to face next year.
      But the WBC heavyweight champion’s sights are seemingly set on cage clashes with Ngannou and current UFC heavyweight king Jon Jones.
      Fury, 35, said: “I’d like to fight Ngannou in the cage, I think I can beat him for sure.
      “He’s not a good wrestler, he’s known for striking and I’m a better striker than him.

      “In little gloves, I’d knock him out in seconds… I’d fight Jon Jones also in the cage, if the money was right.”
      Fury recently revealed he’d received an offer from the UFC to lock horns with mixed martial arts legend Jones – who is set to retire from MMA in November – in an exclusive interview with SunSport.
      He said: “That’s 100 per cent true [that I received an offer to fight Jones].
      “I’ve had an offer from the UFC, from [WME] IMG, to fight Jon Jones.

      “Frank Warren knows about it, my team knows about it.
      “It’s still ongoing and we’re looking to move forward on that for sure.
      “Me and Jon have even spoke about it, ” It’s definitely a real thing.”
      Before he can think about fighting in MMA, Fury must first see off the challenge of Ngannou in their Saudi showdown – the primary motivator of which was a once-in-a-lifetime payday.
      He said: “Obviously I’m getting paid a hell of a lot of money.
      “And I get millions of people from MMA and boxing who are gonna watch it.
      “Whether they like that I’m doing it or not, guess what they’re gonna do? Still watch it.”

      But he was accidentally mistaken for Brit heavyweight boxer David Adeleye by Top Rank’s lead presenter for the broadcast.
      She was seemingly told by producers that Adeleye would be speaking to herself, former UFC star Dan Hardy and retired boxer Carl Frampton after his opponent Fabio Wardley left the scene.
      As Ferdinand had his back turned to the presenters and spoke to Wardley, she said: “I think we’re going to try and get his opponent in.
      “David Adeleye, can we get him in?”

      The presenter then turned around to try and look for the undefeated heavyweight and was left bemused when Ferdinand popped into her line of vision.
      She said: “No? All right, that’s not David Adeleye – that’s Rio Ferdinand. But we are just as delighted to have you with us.”
      Ferdinand was quick to give his opinion on Fury’s controversial Saudi showdown with Ngannou after ribbing Frampton for sweating in his plush get-up.

      He said: “The size of these guys. When one of the connects, it doesn’t matter where you’re from – you’re gonna go down.

      “And the power that he’s [Ngannou] got, it he transfers that to this and he gets hit on the chin Tyson [that is] then he will go down.
      “But I just think his ring IQ, his footwork and his ability and what he’s shown and experience [will be too much for Ngannou].”
      Top Rank eventually got their hands on Adeleye, with their lead presenter quickly making light of the previous mix-up.
      That came moments before the Adeleye and Wardley were involved in a crazy pre-fight brawl further down the red carpet.
      Things got heated when a fired-up Adeleye repeatedly said “shut your mouth” to someone on media row.
      Suffolk slugger Wardley waded in and was quickly on the receiving end of a two-handed shove from his domestic rival.
      Members of both men’s teams got involved in the melee which saw Wardley dropped by a left hook from an unknown person.
      Wardley seemed to be dazed when he rose to his feet and was nursing a cut to the side of his left eye – which could potentially scupper the fight.

      Fury and Ngannou, 35 and 36 respectively, faced off with one another at Wembley last April, an encounter in which the former mentioned the MMA star’s privates.
      And he bizarrely did so again at their pre-fight presser, saying: “I get to knock out him, he’s a good-looking lad – I do like him.
      “Probably got a big cory as well. Remember that Francis.
      “However, it’s unlucky for him that he has to come across me.”

      Ngannou shrugged off the awkward comment with a wry smile and made light of it with his response.
      He said: “If you know where I came from, you don’t have to ask that question.”
      Fury then broke out into song and said: “Come on, come on. Get it out! Get it out!”
      The bizarre request was ended by a cackle from the WBC heavyweight champion and a perplexed look from Ngannou.

      Another chimed in: “Crazy lol Jesus Christ.”
      One perplexed fight fan asked: “Why [does] Tyson keep bringing up Francis’ meat?”
      Ngannou goes into his professional boxing debut as a huge underdog but is adamant he’ll shock the world by knocking Fury old cold.
      He said: “I’m going to be hunting for that guy’s head, to take it off.” More

      A bout between Wilder, 37, and former pound-for-pound king Usyk has also been mooted in recent months.
      But John Fury – the dad of WBC heavyweight champ Tyson – reckons neither AJ nor his recent conqueror truly wants to share the ring with The Bronze Bomber.
      When asked about Wilder, the outspoken coach told Freebets.com: “They’re all terrified of him.

      “All those people will never get in with The Bronze Bomber. Usyk, AJ, none of them will fight The Bronze Bomber.”
      Tyson, of course, shared the ring THREE times with the former long-reigning WBC heavyweight champion.
      The pair fought to a controversial draw in their December dust-up in 2018, with Fury rising from the dead like Lazarus in the final round to salvage a draw.
      Fury got his revenge in the 2020 rematch, scoring a seventh-round knockout under the bright lights in Sin City.

      Oscar De la Hoya’s life outside ring is a disaster, from Olympic lie and mum beating him to failed relationships

      by

      OSCAR DE LA HOYA has finally come clean and admitted he blatantly lied about one of boxing’s most heart-wrenching stories.Two years before going to the 1992 Olympics, the Golden Boy told the American media in a tear-jerking interview that his his 38-year-old mother Cecilia, who was dying of cancer, made him promise to return from Barcelona with the gold medal.

      And when the handsome 19-year-old fulfilled that dream and arrived back in the US with the gong hanging from his neck, millions fell in love with him.
      De la Hoya became an instant celebrity and President George H Bush gushed: “He has not only brought home the gold medal, he has brought honour to his mom’s memory.”
      Sadly, it turns out Oscar made up that highly emotional conversation between mother and son.
      That will come as a great shock to all those who idolised him and embraced that touching tale.

      In fact his Mexican mother used to physically abuse him – she constantly beat him as he grew up in the tough neighbourhoods of  East Los Angeles.
      De la Hoya made it clear he wasn’t going to sugar-coat anything as he bared his soul in a three-hour HBO documentary of his life shown on Sky.
      He was obviously relieved to take the opportunity to unburden himself of a 30-year secret  by telling the truth about his mother.
      Biting his lip to stop himself breaking down the Golden Boy admitted: “I was driven by a lie. It happened – emotion took over and it just caught fire.

      “The world fell in love with my story – I embraced it and just held on to it. When you are lying you are caught up in this web.
      “My first thoughts of my childhood? Being afraid, pain. crying, anger. I hated it when she hit me – it was the worst. I never had the courage to tell my mother I loved her – I wish I did.”
      De la Hoya, was one of the greatest fighters of his generation  winning 11 world titles in six weight divisions – from super-featherweight to middleweight.
      He was the most popular fighter since Muhammad Ali, who generated $750 million in PPV revenue yet he said: “I didn’t live up to my potential in the ring  – I could have given a lot more.” 
      Early in his career I went to see him at his Big Bear altitude training camp in California’s San Bernardino mountains and like everyone else I was captivated by the bi-lingual young man’s charm and electrifying charisma.
      Unfortunately his brilliance in the ring wasn’t matched by his lifestyle outside the ropes, which was an unmitigated disaster.
      Oscar said “I was 24 years old, making $15-20 million a fight – I was living the American dream. You start to separate yourself from the world. But I ruined good things all my life.”
      My first thoughts of my childhood? Being afraid, pain. crying, anger. I hated it when she hit me – it was the worstOscar De la Hoya
      Beautiful women threw themselves at him – a former Miss USA  was one of several partners who bore him six children. 
      He didn’t meet one of his sons until the boy was sixteen and Oscar admitted: “I didn’t know how to be a parent.”
      Inevitably he became addicted to alcohol and cocaine and he spent time in rehab on several occasions.
      But perhaps his  biggest shock moment came when he was photographed cross-dressing – wearing make-up, high heels a wig and a fishnet body stocking – in a picture which appeared on the front page of the New York Post.
      Men like De la Hoya are envied for their wealth and fame but the reality is so many who come from the world’s back streets haven’t a clue how to handle it.
      Oscar ended  with a moving but telling  appraisal of the time when he was America’s darling.
      He said “The Golden Boy – it’s all f******   bull****, that’s all it is. Nobody really loves me – I am just a commodity. It’s time to live in reality.”
