      And Fury already looks to be in fighting shape as he revealed a snap in the gym flexing his biceps – with fans already warning KSI.
      One said: “Holy f***, Ksi is finished.”
      Another added: “JJ is in trouble.”
      One asked: “How is he in the same weight class as KSI?”
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Fury is coming off a split-decision win over KSI’s arch rival Jake Paul in February.
      But Paul, 26, snubbed a rematch to instead return against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, which he won over ten rounds on points.
      So KSI, 30, turned his attention to Fury, 24, and after four long months of negotiations, a deal was struck.
      KSI claimed Paul rejected the chance to settle their bitter score so it led him to challenge the American’s conqueror instead.

      But that bout and the event itself faced the KO after Dillian Whyte was withdrawn amid a failed drug test.
      Thankfully for Courtney & Co, Robert Helenius filled in on seven days notice to make sure the shows does go on.
      Courtney, 22, told SunSport: “I thank the lot of them.
      “I thank Eddie for doing it, all of Matchroom, DAZN, Anthony Joshua of course and even Helenius for taking the fight.

      “I’m just grateful that it’s actually happening.”
      Courtney ensures she gets more ring time and another purse to her name but she will have to wait a little longer to snack out.
      She said: “I would definitely have ate a little bit more. I haven’t been eating a lot.
      “I would have treated myself to maybe a packet of crisps or some chips, then straight back to it.

      “I haven’t got time to be wasting weeks and months because a fight has been called off. I want to be fighting.”
      Courtney works as a PT and coach at former world champion Darren Barker’s 12×3 Boxing club in London.
      And had she been denied the chance to return on the weekend, then the flyweight would have rocked up for her Saturday session as normal.
      She said: “I would have had to have gone back to work. I would’ve gone back to PTing people and teaching classes.
      “Without that, I don’t have any other way of getting through the month, that’s my pay.”
      Courtney’s class are still due to see her this week as they continue to show their support to the prospect prizefighter.
      She said: “I’ve got loads of regulars that come actually. They support me massively. They see the hard work that I put in.
      “They see me with a black eye, when I’ve been beaten up in sparring.”
      Courtney prepares for her fourth professional bout and steps up in class against Ruegg, who beat her last opponent Kate Radomska.

      I’ve shared the ring with Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder and Oleksandr Usyk… here’s how they compare

      by

      GERALD WASHINGTON might just have the answers for the greatest fantasy fights in the current heavyweight division. After all, he has shared the ring in some shape or form with the best of them.

      Deontay Wilder beat and later sparred Gerald Washington
      Washington was beaten by Deontay Wilder in 2017 but they later linked up as sparring partners.
      Similarly, Anthony Joshua recruited the 6ft 6in American for his camp before beating Kubrat Pulev in 2020.
      Oleksandr Usyk, Andy Ruiz Jr and even ex-heavyweight champions of the past like Wladimir Klitschko have also called on Washington’s services.
      And when he steps into the ring with Derek Chisora on Saturday night, it will not be for the first time as they sparred dating back to 2016.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      So Washington has almost experienced it all and lives to gush about the talent he has graced the ring with.
      He told SunSport: “Everybody brings something different to the table.
      “If you want power, you’ve got Deontay Wilder. If you want class boxing fundamentals then you’ve got Joshua.
      “If you want ring IQ and hard work, Usyk is a crazy guy to learn from. And even Derek Chisora, what he brings to the table is all heart.

      “He comes to get it, he works hard and he’s a grinder. That’s a skill in itself, that’s hard to do.
      “He’s putting in a lot of hard rounds for our entertainment, we’re grateful for him and that’s why he’s a hero here in the UK.”
      Washington, 41, and Chisora, 38, provide undercard action for Joshua’s return on Saturday night at the O2 Arena.
      But the event faced the KO when AJ’s initial opponent Dillian Whyte, 35, was pulled out amid a failed drug test.
      Robert Helenius, 39, has since subbed in to save the day but Washington was also considered although later overlooked.

      He has also sparred Andy Ruiz Jr
      He said: “We were ready to go. We’ve been working for a long time now and we was ready to go to put it together.
      “But, they chose Robert Helenius and we’ll get him next time.”
      Joshua, 33, will step foot in the ring knowing he is one win away from a super-fight in Saudi Arabia against Deontay Wilder, 37.
      And Wilder is a training partner and friend of Washington’s as they share the same coach, Malik Scott.
      But Washington admits he would have had no qualms in taking the bout with AJ despite Wilder’s impending blockbuster with the Brit star.
      He said: “I mean, s*** if it was going to come my way it was going to come my way.

      “If the cards fall as they lie, you just have to take it as they come. We were worried about what we’re in control of and that’s it.
      “Now we’ve got Derek Chisora on the plate and that’s all we’ve prepared for.”

      Boxing legend Henry Armstrong was a 5ft 5in freak of nature… he’d find Helenius doubling up vs Anthony Joshua amusing

      by

      IF he were still around today, Henry Armstrong would be amused at those concerned about Robert Helenius being asked to fight twice in a week.Helenius, the bearded 6ft 7in Finn, has stepped in as an ever-so-late substitute for Dillian Whyte — who failed a drug test — to give Anthony Joshua much-needed target practice at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday.

      The legendary Henry Armstrong once fought five times in 21 days
      Last weekend, former European heavyweight champion Helenius took less than three rounds to dispose of fellow countryman Mika Mielonen.
      And while it is highly unusual for a boxer to have a couple of fights only seven days apart, in the 1930s it was commonplace.
      Armstrong, only 5ft 5in tall, was a freak of nature.
      He is the only man to be a world champion at three different weights all at the SAME time.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      He held the featherweight, lightweight and welterweight titles — and what Homicide Hank did in a 21-day period in October 1939 is beyond belief.
      Criss-crossing America, Armstrong successfully defended his welterweight title no less than five times in five different cities. So what Helenius is being asked to do is really no big deal.
      Joshua — fighting in front of a contingent from Saudi Arabia, here to finalise the details of his mega-millions clash with Deontay Wilder in January — is priced at odds of 1-16 and is expected to blast his way to an easy victory.
      But we thought the same thing before his last fight against Jermaine Franklin four months ago — before he laboured to a dull points victory.
      Most read in Boxing
      CASINO SPECIAL – BEST ONLINE CASINOS FOR 2023
      Joshua knows Helenius has absolutely nothing to lose and he was a decent fighter 12 years ago when he beat Derek Chisora and Sam Peters.
      There shouldn’t be the slightest chance of Helenius kicking sand in Joshua’s face and I believe he will have done well if he lasts six or seven rounds.
      But when it comes to the heavyweights, I’m always haunted by dismissing Buster Douglas as a total irrelevance before he KO’d Mike Tyson 33 years ago in Tokyo — and he was a 42-1 chance. More
