      But YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul has instead opted to try and get back in the win column against former UFC star Nate Diaz in August.
      And Fury claims the duo didn’t immediately run things back because Paul and his team went AWOL.
      When asked if he’d been offered the fight, he told talkSPORT: “Nope. Not once [has he been in contact.]
      “I think I saw a tweet the other day that he wants to run it back in a year’s time, but as far as I’m concerned we were meant to be running it back a few months later.”

      Former Disney star Paul, 26, was hellbent on rematching Fury in the aftermath of his first professional defeat.
      But Fury reckons he had a change of heart after watching back their Saudi showdown.
      The 24-year-old said: “He was in the middle of the ring saying ‘I’m here for the rematch, that’ll be my next fight.’
      “Obviously he’s gone away, watched it, and thought ‘maybe I’m not that good yet.’ So he’s silent.”

      Although his sights are currently focused on MMA icon Diaz, Paul already has a date in mind for exacting revenge on Fury.
      In a scathing rant at bitter rival KSI, Paul tweeted: “This clown… tried to fight D***o Dan [Dillon Danis] who has never boxed and put a dehydration clause on him.
      “Fought a 40-year-old who hadn’t fought for 3 years and put a rehydration clause on him before elbowing him.
      “Now trying to squeeze Tommy.
      “I elevated Tommy, my son is now worth a lot more than the $1.5M offers you making. Tommy, February we run it back.”

      Mike Tyson’s old coach reveals prediction for Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder as former champ admits he’s ‘nervous’

      by

      Both men are shells of the fighters they were five years ago when they held all the heavyweight hardware, but Joshua more so.
      And Teddy Atlas believes AJ’s proneness to being caught with right hands will result in him suffering a brutal knockout loss.
      The International Boxing Hall of Famer said on his ‘The Fight’ podcast: “If I was backing him [Joshua], I don’t know if I’d want to put him in with Wilder, to be quite frank.
      “With the kind of right hand Wilder chucks and the susceptibility he has to getting hit with the right hand.

      “It’s not a knock on him, but I think Wilder would knock him out.”
      Joshua returned to the win column in April with a scrappy points victory over Jermaine Franklin, who had success with his counter-overhand right on several occasions.
      When pressed further on a fight between AJ and Wilder, Atlas said: “Joshua’s vulnerability for the right hand is one of the reasons [I think he loses].
      “Besides, the fact [is[ he’s made so much money.

      “He doesn’t need to do this, that you never see him with Wilder ever.”
      Before Joshua can think about a long-overdue clash with Wilder, he must first get through fellow Brit Dillian Whyte.
      A rematch with the Brixton Body Snatcher is in the works for August 12, although the fight has not yet been made official.
      And Wilder admits he’ll be “nervous” watching Joshua put their multi-million-pound Saudi showdown on the line against Whyte.

      The Bronze Bomber told SunSport this week: “Are you nervous?
      “Everybody’s nervous, we all are.
      “I will be, I’ve said before I’m a straightforward, honest guy anyone that knows me knows that.
      “But I am nervous, if he takes a fight. We’ll keep it like that.” More

      A helmeted biker on a £24,000 Ducati was seen to pull up and cut into the tyres with a knife before riding off.

      Froch was said to have been handed a brand new red Ducati to test drive as part of his deal with the motor firm.

      “There’s no better feeling than being in that ring and having my hand raised in front of my loyal and amazing fans, who I appreciate very much.

      “Unfortunately, the victory, which was inevitable no matter what, is tarnished and I hate that. It sucks!”
      “After landing my overhand right, he was pretty much out on his feet and I went for a short right hook as Joe clinched me and fell into me.
      “I landed that hook and the glove made contact but appears to have been followed by unintentional contact with my forearm.
