      Prior to Usyk’s defence of his unified WBA, IBF and WBO belts, Aadam will take to the ring.
      It is currently unknown who the 23-year-old will fight and at which weight category.
      Former featherweight world champion Prince Naseem believes his youngest son is a “future star”.
      The British legend said at a press conference: “We have been given an amazing opportunity for Aadam to be the co-main event.

      “He is a future star in boxing, and I truly believe that, God willing.”
      Aadam said: “It is an amazing opportunity for my debut, I am super excited and thank you to everyone that has come out and for the support.

      Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou will just be a larger version of the miserable Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor mismatch

      by

      FRANCIS NGANNOU is threatening when he’s kicking in a cage – but when he steps into the ring with Tyson Fury he will be about as menacing as a water pistol.Fury faces former Mixed Martial Arts champion Francis Ngannou over ten rounds under Marquess of Queensberry rules in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on October 28.

      The clash promises to be a mismatch like the Mayweather-McGregor exhibition bout in 2017Credit: Getty
      It’s just going to be a much larger version of the Floyd Mayweather Jr v Conor McGregor miserable mismatch in Las Vegas six years ago.
      McGregor’s vociferous army of followers were laughingly convinced the UFC superstar was going to be too much of a brute for Mayweather to handle.
      It turned out to be the biggest anti-climax since it was proved the Loch Ness monster didn’t exist.
      McGregor was completely out of his depth. Mayweather managed to hold him up long enough until he felt the ringside customers and TV audience had got enough of their money’s worth before finishing him off in the tenth.
      READ MORE IN BOXIN
      Inevitably for the next three months we will be bombarded by tall tales that Fury will be facing a murderous beast.
      But I will be surprised if Fury doesn’t do a Mayweather – toy with ferocious-looking Ngannou until he decides it’s time to take him out.
      Mayweather earned more than £200million to put McGregor back in his place and Fury has been made an offer he couldn’t refuse to be part of this Mickey Mouse match-up.
      The Gypsy King is by far Britain’s most popular fighter. But if social media is to be believed he has irritated and frustrated many of his fans due to his inactivity.

      He seemed to have embraced one of Sir Winston Churchill’s most significant remarks that Jaw-Jaw was better than War-War. 
      Tyson hasn’t had a meaningful fight since knocking out Dillian Whyte and defending his WBC world heavyweight title in April last year in front of a record 94,000 Wembley crowd.
      His supporters certainly won’t be happy he’s taken the easiest road to further riches, which Anthony Joshua has described as “this nonsense.” 
      It will be interesting to see how many – in the present financial climate – will be prepared to fork out the £27 it’s likely to cost to see it on PPV in what, after all, is a gimmick event. 
      Fury is simply following the golfers and footballers who are filling their pockets with immense amounts of Arabian gold.
      Every boxing lover wanted to see Tyson in a unification fight with Oleksandr Usyk or a Battle of Britain punch-up with Joshua.
      Fury’s supporters won’t be happy he’s taken the easiest road to further richesColin Hart
      Given Fury’s commitments until next year it’s getting more unlikely we will ever see him fight those two – and nearly two years would have elapsed before he’s able to make another defence. 
      He has a large family to take care of – he’s a professional so no one should criticise him for the millions he’ll take away from the Middle East. 
      But I feel he has demeaned the world championship belt he’s held for three years by getting involved with Ngannou. 
      Read More on The Sun
      Fury should do the honourable thing and give up the WBC title to allow Deontay Wilder and Joshua – if he beats Whyte next month – to fight for it in December.
      Then the winner could meet either Usyk or Daniel Dubois early next year and boxing can have the unified world heavyweight champion it craves. More

      Elle Brooke vs Jully Poca tale of the tape: How OnlyFans star compares to TikTok icon for huge Kingpyn boxing clash

      ELLE BROOKE will look to maintain her unbeaten boxing record when she faces TikTok sensation Jully Poca in Dublin on Saturday night.OnlyFans star Brooke, 25, will step into the ring with the Brazilian internet personality in the Kingpyn semi-finals at the 3Arena.

      How Brooke and Poca compare heading into their fight this weekend
      The winner will take on either 6AR6IE6 or Elle’s sister Emily Brooke in the final.
      But how do the pair stack up against one another heading into their bout in Ireland?
      Poca, 29, has four years on Brooke – but has two fewer boxing bouts to her name.
      Brooke has three wins and boasts a 100 per cent record.

      She stopped Faith Ordway in her second contest, but the other two have gone to points against AJ Bunker and Ola Danielka.
      Poca also has a perfect record, albeit after just one boxing bout – which came in a decision victory over Daniella Helmsley in April.
      One major advantage Poca has is she is six inches taller than Brooke.
      But the OnlyFans star knows all to well what it is like being the smaller fighter.

      That’s because her last opponent, Danielka, dwarfed her by NINE INCHES.
      They are effectively the same weight, but Polka boasts a bigger Instagram following – 1.9 million compared with less than 800,000 for Brooke.
      But that popularity will do little for either fighter this weekend as they prepare to throw leather in the Irish capital. More

      Conor McGregor will NEVER fight Jake Paul but I’ll smoke him instead, says UFC star’s training partner Kiefer Crosbie

      by

      CONOR McGREGOR’S training partner Kiefer Crosbie has told Jake Paul to forget about fighting the UFC star. But Crosbie would gladly step in to shut Paul up following years of the YouTuber-turned boxer calling out McGregor.

      He told SunSport: “I’d smoke Jake Paul, I’d smoke him. But obviously it comes down to a name thing.
      “The easy thing is, ‘Who’s he?’ That’s the easy way out of that fight, ‘Who’s Kieffer Crosbie?’ 
      “Cool, well move round with me then, mate. Spar me then, fight me then, it would never happen, he’d never fight me. 
      “He’d go after a bigger name with less skills, that’s what he’s trying to do or the biggest name where he knows it will never happen.

      “He’s calling out Canelo, calling out Conor, he knows them fights will never happen and he’d never win them fights, let’s be real. 
      “But yeah, I’d smash Jake Paul, easy. Let’s be real, he’s good and improved but you can only improve so much in a couple of years. 
      “I’m doing this my whole life, you can’t just jump into this sport and after two or three years think you can take on the world.” 
      Paul, 26, suffered defeat for the first time in February, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.

      But he snubbed a rematch to instead return on August 5 in Texas against Nate Diaz, 38, who shared two classics in the octagon with McGregor.
      Paul wants to fight McGregor, 34, afterwards and claimed he would even do it in the cage.
      But Crosbie, 33, said: “Conor is the biggest combat sports athlete of all time, so of course the whole world is going to try call him out. 
      “Jake Paul calling someone like Conor out is just stupid to me. There’s levels to this game, let’s be real here. 
      “Look what Conor’s done, all his accomplishments. He’s one of the best of all time and that’s a way all these guys are trying to get clout. 
      “They’re calling Conor out to keep their name out there but that’s just what YouTubers and celebrities try to do. 
      “They’re looking for clickbait and Conor is not bothered about all them. Jake Paul, he’s a marketing genius.”

      Anthony Joshua risks war of words with axed coach by claiming he wasn’t ‘taught anything’ by him ahead of Whyte rematch

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA claims he didn’t learn “anything” under former coach Robert Garcia.The Watford warrior, 33, enlisted the services of the multiple-time world-champion trainer after being taken to school by Oleksandr Usyk in their Tottenham tussle in September 2021.

      Their partnership, however, failed to bear fruit as AJ was bested in a rematch 11 months later – despite turning in a better performance.
      But Joshua doesn’t believe their brief partnership benefitted him in any way, telling talkSPORT: “I recall when I was training for Usyk, and I had Robert Garcia on board.
      “The fight date kept getting pushed back and the general conversation in the Usyk camp was, ‘We need this fight to happen soon, because we don’t want AJ to spend as much time as possible with Robert Garcia.’
      “In my mind, I was like, I didn’t feel like I was being taught anything, so I didn’t think it mattered if I spent a year [with him].

      “I was still going to do my thing anyway.”
      Joshua axed Garcia in the wake of the Saudi showdown and has since teamed up with Derrick James – the head coach of the undefeated Errol Spence Jr.
      The former two-time unified heavyweight champion said: “With Derrick James, I soak up every second I’m in that gym.
      “Whether I’m successful or not, [new trainer] Derrick James is the truth.

      “The time spent with him is very valuable. It all starts from the mind, it’s not just the mitts. He’s got a really good mindset.”
      Confusion reigned in Joshua’s corner during his second showdown with Usyk as Garcia and trainer Angel Fernandez seemingly weren’t on the same page.
      And AJ admits he only began working with Garcia after heeding the advice of Fernandez.
      He said: “The situation I found myself in Garcia… I was actually working with Angel Fernandez and Angel knew that he needed to grow his experience.

      “So I left it with him to decide who he felt he would connect with best.
      “I believe that there’s not much point in the athlete in making a decision if the trainer doesn’t respect the other coach in the room.”
      Joshua bounced back from consecutive losses to Usyk with a scrappy points win over Jermaine Franklin in April.
      The Olympian will bid to secure a multi-million-pound December dust-up with Deontay Wilder by winning a rematch with bitter rival Dillian Whyte on August 12. More

      Ngannou, 36, bagged the most high-profile fight of his career a little over six months after leaving the UFC.

      During an appearance on The MMA Hour, Martin said: “Let’s just say this: The bag is so big, he may actually just drop it on the way to the bank.
      “Let’s just say that.

      “This is life-changing. This is exactly what we planned and visualized, so we’re happy.”
      When asked if Ngannou’s earnings for the fight will be more than his UFC winnings, Martin added: “Oh, my God. I mean, by far. By multiples.
      “Just to make [this money] even while being champion, he would’ve had to fight multiple times just to [be in this ballpark].”

      Ngannou and Fury’s showdown will be a ten-round affair under the official Queensberry boxing rules.
      But it’s not yet known if the fight will count on both men’s records.
      Knockout artist Ngannou trained as a boxer before being convinced to try his hand at mixed martial arts by former head coach Fernand Lopez.
      And he plans to turn the combat sports world upside down by becoming the first man to defeat the fleet-footed Fury.

      He said: “I’ve been waiting to meet Tyson in the ring for the past three years.
      “My dream was always to box, and to box the best.

      AARON CHALMERS has put himself in line to be Jake Paul’s first MMA opponent after talks with the Professional Fighters League. Chalmers left behind the Geordie Shore house for a career in MMA in 2017 and he went on to have a 5-2 record in the cage.

      But he is now focused on boxing and this year faced American legend Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition.
      Meanwhile, Paul is 6-1 as a boxer but is also signed to MMA promotion PFL, where he is set to make his cage debut in 2024.
      And Chalmers spoke to PFL Europe chief James Frewin during an event in the UK about welcoming the YouTube sensation to MMA.
      He proposed a two-fight deal which would see the celebrity pair share the cage and ring.

      Chalmers told SunSport: “We were talking.
      “It’s kind of dried up at the moment because I was trying to double up and get a crossover, as in Jake in boxing and in MMA. 
      “He’s obviously getting his way in the boxing and I’m a bit more experienced in MMA.
      “It would make sense for something like that and I would definitely go back to it.

      “There’s a lot of hurdles to overcome, Jake’s right up there in the mix, he’s quite a big name. 
      “So I feel like a few wins under my belt in the next few months would hopefully push us back up that ladder.”
      Chalmers, 36, switched over to boxing in 2022 and in only his second bout in the ring he went eight rounds with Mayweather, 46, in February.
      And he returns on Saturday night at the 3Arena in Dublin against Irish MMA veteran Kiefer Crosbie, 33, training partner to Conor McGregor.
      Chalmers said: “He’s MMA based and I’ll tell you hand on heart, whenever Kiefer fights I watch because I know he’s always in a f*****g war. 
      “That’s what gets the blood pumping for me, because I know every fight Kiefer has it’s a war. So that’s what I’m prepared for. 
      “I know that’s what it’s going to be and I can probably say hand on heart it’s going to be fight of the night by a long stretch.”
