      “My wife’s been watching me fight — we met each other when we were 15 years old. We have four children together.
      “I am her f*****g guy and if something happens to me, now you can feel her pain and what she’s feeling.
      “She has my four children, man. She’s my f*****g ride or die.

      “She can’t control what’s going on and her yelling or her screaming, that’s how she feels.
      “It’s genuine so if you don’t like it, deal with it. But it’s f*****g genuine. I hear her and so does everyone else. We all hear her.”
      Alvarez crossed over to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship after leaving Asian MMA promotion ONE Championship.
      And he beat Mendes, 37, in his bare-knuckle debut by split-decision in a bout Conor McGregor – who beat both in the UFC – watched live.

      ‘That guy will hurt you’ – WWE legend Ric Flair urges Jake Paul to avoid fighting 56-year-old boxing icon Mike Tyson

      by

      RIC FLAIR has strongly urged Jake Paul to avoid fighting Mike Tyson. The YouTuber-turned boxer has refused to rule out a bout with Tyson, who he is friends with and 30 years younger than.

      But WWE legend Flair insisted it is not a good idea – for Paul at least.
      He said on Joe Rogan’s podcast: “I’ll tell you what though, one thing he doesn’t wanna do is fight Mike.
      “He wants to fight Mike, I think. Mike’s in good shape too. Mike trains everyday. Yeah, he don’t wanna fight Mike.”
      UFC commentator Joe Rogan has been a big supporter of Paul’s boxing career, but also warned him about fighting Tyson.

      Rogan added: “Like, I don’t give a f*** if you think he’s 55-years-old, that guy will hurt you.
      “If Jake Paul’s on the other side of the ring and sees Mike Tyson just f*****g bobbing and weaving, he’s gonna have a recognition.
      “He’s gonna look over and go, ‘Oh my God, that’s really Mike Tyson.'”
      Tyson, 56, retired in 2005 but made a shock comeback 15 years later for an exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr, 54, which ended in a draw.

      It led to the likes of Paul, 26, being aligned with the heavyweight icon for a similar spectacle showdown.
      The American most recently lost to Tommy Fury, 23, in February and returns on August 5 in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38.
      Tyson was a special guest in Saudi Arabia the week Paul lost to Fury and admitted it had him reminiscing about his heyday.
      He said on his podcast: “I just always wanted to be a fighter. That’s all I wanted to do my whole life was be a fighter, nothing else.
      “I miss this stuff, I didn’t think I’d miss it until I was at the weigh-in in Saudi Arabia for [Paul-Fury]. You miss being the centre of attention.”
      Tyson has been linked with a rematch  with Jones as well as a trilogy bout against old rival Evander Holyfield, 60.
      Up until now Iron Mike has remained happy in retirement but leaves the door open to another exhibition.
      Tyson told TMZ Sports: “I don’t know, I’m just chilling out.

      “I did that, I wanted to do that, I did that. People also in Saudi Arabia want me to do this stuff too. I don’t know, I could be persuaded.”

      Conor McGregor’s ex-opponent Eddie Alvarez reveals he listened to UFC legend’s ringside advice in bare-knuckle fight

      by

      EDDIE ALVAREZ revealed he listened to old rival Conor McGregor’s advice during his bare-knuckle fight with Chad Mendes. McGregor was a shock guest at Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship’s event in Denver, which featured two of his ex-opponents.

      And it was Alvarez, 39, who emerged with a split-decision win over Mendes, 37, following a series of knockdowns from both.
      At one point in the bout, the former UFC lightweight champion listened to the call of McGregor, who cried out for an uppercut.
      And after landing the shot, Alvarez pointed at the Irishman in acknowledgement.
      He later said on The MMA Hour: “He was yelling for uppercut, and I was kind of recognising that Chad was hitching, he was doing a little hitch before he came under, and Conor picked it up and then he was mentioning it as soon as he was against the [ropes].

      “As soon as he yelled uppercut, I was like, ‘I see it,’ and then I landed it and I was like, ‘Good call.’
      “It was a good moment. He recognised it, I recognised it, and I think that was that.”
      McGregor, 34, knocked out Alvarez in 2016 to win the lightweight belt in 2016, his last title fight victory.
      One year earlier, he recorded the same second-round stoppage against Mendes for the interim featherweight strap.

      So when he rocked up in support of the pair, McGregor’s loyalty was split.
      Alvarez said: “Someone said he was yelling s*** for Chad too.
      “I don’t think he had a horse in the race, I think he just wanted to see a good fight and he was just recognising some things that were going wrong and he was trying to coach guys.
      “For him, he’s a winner already. He beat both of us. He shows up with his f*****g whiskey, rich and doing nice s***, and good, I wish the best for everyone in this sport.
      “It’s a very difficult life, it’s very difficult to make money, and when he’s done what he’s done for himself and for the sport and for his family, I’m all for it.
      “I have no animosity to any of my opponents. We’re all in this crazy, uncertain life journey. It’s difficult, and if you can do what he did, I’m all for you.”

      Meanwhile, Perry moved to 3-0 in BKFC after beating Luke Rockhold, 38, having punched the ex-UFC champion’s TEETH out.
      McGregor has one before crossed over to boxing, losing in a lucrative bout against Floyd Mayweather in 2017.
      But he needed special permission from the UFC to do so, something they have not granted a signed star since.
      Although Perry is hoping McGregor wins his comeback bout against Chandler so they can set up a blockbuster in the ring.
      He said: “You know he’s still in with the UFC.
      “Let’s hope he beats Michael Chandler, then we can really make the biggest fight date in the world, Platinum Mike Perry versus The Notorious Conor McGregor.”

      Worth £120m, Anthony Joshua boasts an envious lifestyle
      Deontay Wilder looks set to fight Joshua in December
      His promoter Eddie Hearn flew to Saudi Arabia last week to hold talks over a potential super-fight for AJ.
      And Joshua appeared to confirm that a blockbuster meeting with the Bronze Bomber is on the cards for later this year.
      In a video reposted to YouTube by iFL TV from Instagram, Joshua was asked if he’s going to beat Wilder.

      The pair have accumulated a huge wealth from boxing.
      While Wilder has made around £25million from the sport, that figure is dwarfed by AJ’s reported £170million fortune.
      It affords the heavyweight duo a lifestyle to envy. Here’s how they compare.

      The pride of his collection is an outrageous £430,000 Lamborghini Aventador he bought in 2015.
      This isn’t any old Lambo. No, it’s stylishly wrapped in faux alligator-skin.

      Add to that a £347,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom, a £70,000 Hummer H2, custom-made Dodge Challenger costing £40,000 – cars clearly mean a lot to the Alabama native.
      He also boasts an incredibly gorgeous £14,500 Suzuki Hayabusa that looks like it should feature in a Mad Max film, as well as a brilliant Polaris Slingshot (£15,500).
      Thanks to his partnership with Jaguar Land Rover – which is rumoured to be worth £790,000 a year – AJ rolls round London in his choice of a fleet of luxury wheels, including a customised white Jaguar XJR, worth £93,000.
      His favourite motor is his personalised black Range Rover, which he says “looks very professional and sets a standard”.
      But AJ doesn’t boast anything as flashy as Wilder, that’s for sure.
      Private jet
      In 2021, Wilder was spotted flying a private jet ahead of his fight with Tyson Fury with fiancee Telli Swift.
      Although, that’s not a life he is accustomed to.
      Through Under Armour, one of his many sponsors, AJ gets to use their company jet.

      Showing the interior of the £45million black G550 ahead of his trip to the States to face Ruiz for the first time, AJ said: “These type of things aren’t ordinary, in my daily life and in many other people’s daily lives, so it’s a blessing.
      “However, my view is even though I enjoy it and the door has been opened for me, I can’t forget to open the door for people who have come with me and the people who aren’t in a position to enjoy this type of luxury.
      “I never get too lost in the source and get carried away with these types of things.”
      6ft6in AJ has been seen in many glam locations around the world, you can bet he flew their privately for the extra leg room on board.
      Homes
      Anthony came from humble beginnings on a council estate in Watford.
      He bought his mum, Yeta Odusanya her council flat in north London for a mere £185,000 in 2013.
      AJ did spend a portion of his hard-earned winnings on a rented property in a north London mansion while he was training for the Wladimir Klitschko fight.

      It has been reported his property portfolio includes a £1million property in north London, as well as three homes in Watford totalling £1.5million.
      AJ also bought a £500,000 penthouse in north London, for his ex-girlfriend and JJ’s mum, Nicole Osbourne, despite them splitting.
      Wilder has stayed true to his roots, buying a £1million property in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
      Built in 2012, the 5,600 square-foot property boasts four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a two-car garage.
      Hardwood floors, an outdoor kitchen perfect for a BBQ are other ace features, as well as a lift to take you down to the basement.
      However, the home’s biggest selling point though is its location – sitting above Lake Tuscaloosa.
      The views are unparalleled, with trees surrounding the abode – ensuring his complete privacy.
      There’s even his personal tram that takes him down into the lake. Now that’s living.
      Wags
      In-demand AJ is currently single.
      Typically, he keeps his love life under wraps, although he recently flirted with talkSPORT presenter Laura Woods – describing her as his dream date.

      She has since launched the Boxing Wag Association which raises money to support children and families of retired boxers, who have fallen on hard times.
      Elaborate ring walks
      Being superstar boxers, both AJ and Wilder’s ring walks are legendary.
      For the American, it’s an elaborate costume that does the talking.
      Often, a mask clad in Swarovski crystals and crafted by Los Angeles-based designers Cosmo and Donato installs some intimidation into his opponents.
