    Jake Paul reveals Francis Ngannou’s ‘real’ earnings for Tyson Fury fight and fumes ‘get it right’ after $8million claims

    JAKE PAUL has revealed that Francis Ngannou will be earning far more for fighting Tyson Fury than the rumoured sum of $8million (£6.1m).It was confirmed this week that the former UFC heavyweight champion would be facing the Gypsy King in Saudi Arabia on October 28.

    The pair will fight for ten rounds under Queensberry rules – with Fury’s heavyweight belts NOT on the line.
    Following the official announcement, it was rumoured that Ngannou would be earning $8m for the bout.
    But Paul has clarified that this figure is way off – and that is merely what he’d been offered by the UFC, before he ditched Dana White’s promotion.
    The Problem Child, like Ngannou, is signed to PFL’s Super Fight Division.

    He has also fought in Saudi Arabia this year, losing to Tommy Fury in February.
    Addressing rumours surrounding Ngannou’s purse, Paul tweeted: “Francis got eight figures. Not $8million. Get it right.”
    The 26-year-old then added: “To all the Twitter geniuses: eight figures = $10,000,000+ and Francis deserves every bit of it.”
    White, 53, has called Ngannou vs Fury a “gimmick fight”.

    After securing the biggest payday of his career, Ngannou cheekily set up his own company, calling it “GIMIK Fight Promotions”.
    Appearing on Sirius XM, the 36-year-old said: “For some reason, I always prove Dana White wrong – even when he’s on my side. I always prove him wrong, every single time. This is just our story.
    “They were ready to do Jon Jones and Tyson Fury in MMA – why couldn’t they do Ngannou and Fury in boxing? I don’t know. I think [he] did that to try to take the fight away from me, and Dana did send out a contract [for the Jones fight].
    “He sent out the contract, which I think was very embarrassing because that contract was rejected, and he signed mine for the GIMIK Fight Promotions.
    “It’s not a secret that so many people wanted me to fail. They don’t want me to succeed, it’s not a secret, it’s quite obvious, and you all know about it.” More

    Tyson Fury’s dad John fumes at ‘snake’ within camp and warns ‘it’s in his best interest to avoid me’

    Fury, 34, was linked with an April 29 heavyweight unification bout with Oleksandr Usyk earlier this year.
    He appeared to have begun working with Steward ahead of the huge proposed bout.
    But Fury’s trainer later denied that he’d been in the UK to work with Fury, instead claiming to have only been over to work with Lawrence Okolie ahead of his fight with David Light.
    These comments appeared to enrage John Fury, who accused Steward of lying while calling on his son to SACK his “Judas” coach.

    Four months on, John is still furious with Steward, branding him a “traitor”.
    He told All Out Fighting via Freebets.com Ireland: “I stand by what I say.
    “If a man’s a traitor to you and betrays you, turns his back on you and tells lies on you, they’ve got to go haven’t they? But that’s up to Tyson, not me.
    “I’m an old fashioned man. Going back to SugarHill, what he said, that he wasn’t training Tyson, that was a lie.

    “He had no need to say that. And I’m waiting to see him and tell him to his face that it was a lie.
    “It’ll probably cause problems, but I don’t care what it causes. But he’s getting told off me, one way or another.
    “He’ll probably avoid me, and it’s in his best interest to avoid me.
    “I won’t have them snakes near me. Be straight. Where was he coming from with that bull****?
    “But it’s not my call, if Tyson had any sense he’d get rid of him – he’s not doing a good job for other fighters is he?”
    It remains to be seen whether Steward will corner Fury for his exhibition against former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
    The duo will meet in an October 28 crossover bout in Saudi Arabia – without Fury’s WBC title on the line.
    Fury will face Ngannou under Queensberry rules over 10 rounds. More

    Eddie Hearn tells Anthony Joshua the three fighters he MUST beat to go down in boxing Hall of Fame

    EDDIE HEARN reckons Anthony Joshua only needs three more wins to make himself a shoo-in for the International Boxing Hall of Fame.The Watford warrior’s two stints as unified heavyweight champion have already made him a dead cert to go in the British Boxing Hall of Fame.

    Despite having had less than 30 pro outings, Joshua has been involved in a whopping 12 world title fights and one unification bout.
    While AJ has already certified himself as a British boxing great, his admittance into the International Hall of Fame is by no means guaranteed.
    Hearn, however, believes the Brit can punch his ticket with wins over Dillian Whyte, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury.
    The Matchroom Boxing chief said: “If you beat Dillian [Whyte], [Deontay] Wilder and [Tyson] Fury, you’re in the Hall of Fame.

    “No pressure.”
    Joshua, 33, will have the opportunity to tick the first of those names off that list next month.
    The Olympian will renew his rivalry with Whyte in a domestic dust-up at the O2 Arena on August 12.
    A win over Whyte will see Joshua finalise a long overdue grudge match with former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder.

    Joshua had hoped to face Gypsy King Fury later this year but negotiations over the Battle of Britain fell through for a third time.
    He told Sky Sports: “I’m not disappointed.
    “That’s just the reality that we live in. That’s the reality.
    “Unfortunately it didn’t happen, but I’m not disappointed because we know why. People are starting to see.

    “This is just how boxing goes sometimes. People are just…it’s just a shame.
    “But it is what it is, none of my business. If that was me, I would have gone in there and fought, but it’s not me so I can’t really comment on another man’s decisions.
    Joshua’s sights are firmly set on winning his latest showdown with Whyte, but he can’t help but admit subsequent fights with Wilder and Fury would be the “dream” scenario.
    He said: “Yeah, it would be [the dream scenario fight Whyte, Wilder, and then Fury]. But dreams are fake. This is reality.” More
