      Tommy Fury says Jake Paul will ‘NEVER step foot in a boxing ring’ again after fight and vows to ’emphatically’ KO rival

      by

      TOMMY FURY said Jake Paul will “NEVER step foot in a boxing ring ever again” after they meet at the end of the month. The celebrity boxing pair have announced the latest rescheduling of their grudge match, on February 26 in Saudi Arabia.

      Fury, 23, becomes the first opponent Paul, 26, will face with a recognised professional boxing record.
      And he vowed to be the last by burying the YouTube star’s career as a prizefighter in the Diriyah desert.
      Fury told Queensberry Promotions: “Enjoy your last training camp.
      “Pay everybody a bit more, you know, ‘Thanks for the good times on the way,’ because you’re gonna be kissing the canvas, and you’ll never step foot in a boxing ring ever again.”

      The pay-per-view bout has been billed The Truth as the two look to finally settle their score in the ring.
      And Fury said: “The truth is Jake Paul will be knocked out emphatically in a few rounds. This man can’t live with me.”
      The brother of heavyweight champion Tyson, 34, was forced to pull out twice before due a rib injury and US visa issue.
      But he looks to put the two years of bitter feuding in the past and end it all between the ropes.

      Fury said: “My mind’s bulletproof. He can’t get into my mind, I’m training as hard as I’ve ever done before.
      “But I’m training a lot different — I’ve brought different people in, I’m training in different places, training in different styles.
      “He’s not gonna know what hit him. I’ve been there. I’ve seen all this before. I was beating better people than he last fought in my amateur days.”

      The two faced off in the ring afterwards as their rematch was CONFIRMED for May 20 in Dublin, boxing’s first event in Ireland since 2014.
      Hearn had eyed 82,000-seat football stadium Croke Park to host but claimed the fees were three-times what Wembley costs.
      So UFC legend Conor McGregor publicly offered to help fund the bout, with talks set to continue.
      Hearn is due to speak with McGregor, 34, and the fighter’s manager Audi Attar to discuss sponsorships.

      Hearn told iFL TV: “He was asking questions like, ‘How much more is it? How does it work?’
      “I told him that we’re likely to go 3Arena and then maybe Croke Park in September, he liked it, he got that, he liked it.
      “Wants to see what we can do, he’s gonna get Audi to reach out and see if there’s a sponsorship deal for one of his many brands.
      “In an ideal world, everyone would like to do that event at Croke, we understand the reasons why and this hasn’t been about complaining that the government aren’t helping out.

      “But at the end of the day, the running costs as I said are three-times the running costs of Wembley.
      “Sometimes you’ve got a deal in place with both fighters for the money required, and it just works out more effectively for everyone to do it at the 3Arena.
      “Haven’t given up on it, but very likely.”
      Taylor, 36, beat Serrano, 34, in a thriller at New York’s Madison Square Garden to unify all four lightweight belts.
      So Serrano – promoted and managed by YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul – moved back down to featherweight.
      She did so to also become undisputed champ, achieving that feat with a points win over Cruz, 32, on points.
      It has set up a rematch between the two women’s boxing stars, both now as four-belt undisputed title holders.

      Tyson Fury’s energy drink sales soar by 300% after dad John brands KSI and Logan Paul’s Prime ‘cat’s p*** in a bottle’

      by

      JOHN FURY has helped son Tyson’s energy drink soar in sales by 300 per cent after branding Prime “cat’s p*** in a bottle”. WBC heavyweight champion Tyson launched his Furocity line in early 2022, striking an exclusive deal with Iceland.

      But in the same year, YouTube boxing rivals-turned-business partners KSI and Logan Paul brought out Prime hydration.
      The beverage has sparked a craze in the UK, with fans scrapping to get their hands on a bottle and shops selling them on for up to £100.
      But evidently John – the father to Tommy and Tyson – is not a fan and cannot understand the hype as he urged fans to buy Furocity instead.
      And it appears to have done the trick, as sales went up by 300 per cent after the scathing video, according to the Daily Star.

      An Iceland spokesperson said: “We’re doing everything we can to keep up with the huge demand we’ve been seeing for Furocity Energy drinks in recent days, following John Fury’s video post.
      “We would ask shoppers to please remain patient as we work hard to get cans of Furocity Energy back on our shelves.”
      John’s critical response to trying Prime for the first time went viral online.
      Taking a swig, he told Freebets: “Disgusting. I wouldn’t put that in my mouth.

      “What was that? Cat p*** in a bottle? It was a cross between cat p***, dog p*** and camel p***.
      “Furocity’s the one you want, not that.”

      And he showed off some of his trademark reflexes and counter punching, evading shots coming his way and firing back rapidly.
      Mayweather aimed verbal digs at Jarvis, 21, throughout and boasted about his skills at the ripe old age of 45.
      At one point, he says: “I’m so sweet with this s***. Nobody can ever be better than me.
      “Come on, get back. That’s all, just light work. No matter what I’m on, I’m sweet with this s***. I’m sweet with this s***.

      Floating around the ring, Mayweather gloats: “I ain’t boxed since last year. I feel calm, I’m almost 50-years-old. I’m cold with this s***.”
      “I already beat him up this rounds, now I’ve gotta move for the rest with my good legs.”
      Jarvis, who shot to fame in the Faze YouTube clan, won his only boxing match, knocking out TikToker Michael Le, 22, in 2021.
      And he showed off the damage of trading leather with boxing royalty, revealing his cuts and bruises.

      ‘It made me want to hurt him’ – KSI accused of ‘very disrespectful’ contract talks with ex-UFC champ Tyron Woodley

      But instead, the YouTube, music and crossover boxing star agreed to fight Dillon Danis, who later pulled out.
      Woodley, 40, leaked his proposed contract with KSI, 29, which had an agreement to weigh 175lb and a rehydration clause of 185lb.
      And he said on The MMA Hour: “The negotiation of the contract was very disrespectful, and it made me want to hurt him.
      “So I told this to his manager. I was on a call with his manager and I said, ‘Never in my life have I been disrespected like this in a contract.’”

      The plan was initially for Logan Paul, 27, to face MMA fighter Danis, 29, with KSI against Woodley.
      But Paul got injured while starring in the WWE, so KSI instead turned to Danis.
      Eventually the American former training partner of Conor McGregor pulled out.
      YouTuber Faze Temperrr, 29 instead replaced Danis but was knocked out in round one.

      KSI is set to return in the summer as he builds towards an end of year grudge match against Paul’s brother Jake, 25.
      And he included Woodley – twice beaten by Jake in the ring – alongside 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40, as potential opponents.
      KSI said on Twitter: “Look, I’ve got several options. I think tomorrow I’m going to have a little call with my team, figure out what we’re going to do.
      “There’s plenty of options. We can have a few Misfits events to try and help with our options.
      “But obviously a lot of people are saying me versus Salt Papi, and you know that could be an option.
      “A lot of people are saying me and obviously Fournier, me and Woodley, etc.”

      Jake Paul refuses to apologise for leaking birth of Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae’s baby and says they should PAY him

      by

      JAKE PAUL refused to say sorry for breaking the news about Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae’s baby – and said they should instead PAY him. The celebrity boxing pair are finally set to fight, on February 26 in Saudi Arabia at the third time of asking.

      Fury, 23, was forced to pull out in December 2021 due to a rib injury and then last August amid US visa issues.
      So after agreeing to reschedule on neutral ground, Paul, 26, claimed rival was left with “no excuses”.
      But he also used the social media dig to bring up the birth of Fury and Molle-Mae’s baby daughter, which at the time had not been announced.
      Paul posted: “After multiple failed attempts to get Tommy Fury in the ring, the moment of truth has finally arrived.

      “Fumbles has no excuses now. Baby is born. Money is massive. Immigration is not an issue.”
      Paul made the claim on January 27, and Molly-Mae later revealed baby Bambi was born four days prior to that.
      The YouTuber-turned prizefighter hosted a Q&A on Instagram and was asked if he should apologise for leaking the birth.
      Paul responded: “No she should pay me for giving that baby more clout.”

      In an interview with TalkTV’s Piers Morgan, Fury was probed on the American’s move to announce his child’s birth.
      And he said: “At the end of the day, all Jake Paul can do from wherever he is in this world is speculate, and that’s all that was. 
      “Speculation, nothing is ever true unless you hear it from me and Molly. It’s part and parcel, it’s what we have to do.”
      Fury admitted the mental and verbal warfare is part of the fight game – but warned Paul’s famous antics cannot save him in the ring.
      He said: “It comes with the entertainment business, that’s what we’re in, and me and Jake Paul are great dance partners, and I’ve enjoyed the build up so far, it’s going to get a lot more heated, and I can’t wait.
      “Social media can’t save Jake Paul, his mouth can’t save him, it comes down to fighting.”

      Jake Paul says Tommy Fury had more chance in their first two axed fights as rival is now ‘getting knocked the f*** out’

      by

      It marks the THIRD time they have attempt to put bragging rights, reputations and unbeaten records on the line.
      Fury, 23, was forced to pull out twice before due a rib injury and US visa issue.
      And Paul, 26, claimed his rival missed his chance of success as he stands primed to end it all with a KO.
      He told Queensberry Promotions: “Me and my team have said it, he should have fought me back then. It would have been probably a much more competitive fight.

      “I think I still would’ve won, but I don’t know if I would’ve knocked him out. Now, he’s getting knocked the f*** out.”
      Paul first signed to face Fury in December 2021 in his fifth professional bout in Tampa.
      He was 4-0 at the time, having beat YouTuber AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, as well as former UFC pair Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren, 38.
      Woodley, 40, replaced Fury and was brutally knocked out by Paul in their short-notice rematch.

      The two then renegotiated for last August in New York until Fury was denied entry to America.
      Paul would go on to beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, two months later over eight rounds, his biggest win to date.
      And he insisted the time since first putting pen to paper on a fight with Fury has benefited his development more.
      Paul said: “It’s definitely helped me way more. Because like I’ve said, I’ve only been boxing for two years and 364 days as a pro.
      “So I’ve got exponentially better and beating a guy like Anderson Silva, that experience is literally priceless.
      “Going eight rounds with Anderson Silva is priceless experience and he hasn’t been in the gym dedicated like I have.
      “So I’ve definitely ran laps around him in the past year.”

      According to Sky Sports News, both Joshua and Franklin have agreed terms to the fight.
      But promoter Eddie Hearn insisted neither have officially signed despite ongoing talks.
      Hearn told iD Boxing: “The contract is not signed for that fight but he’s the guy that I think it will be. He has been for a while.
      “We’ll look to tie that up, April 1st is the date, you’ll get an AJ press conference next week.”

      Joshua, 33, has linked up with new trainer Derrick James in Texas following double defeat by Usyk, 36.
      He watched from ringside in November as Dillian Whyte, 34, edged past Franklin, 29, in a disputed decision win.
      It has set up the pair of amateur rivals-turned professional opponents for a summer stadium rematch.
      But Whyte – who beat AJ in the unpaid ranks but lost in the pros in 2015 – voiced his anger to SunSport at not getting Joshua next.

      But Hearn responded: “I feel that Franklin gave Dillian Whyte a tremendous fight and it was a very, very competitive and close fight.
      “So I don’t see why it’s a bad fight for Anthony Joshua. Anthony Joshua has no problem fighting Dillian Whyte.
      “I think it’s a stadium fight, we can do that fight next, AJ’s teamed up with a new trainer after losing two on the bounce against the pound-for-pound No1.
      “It’s a very good fight. Competitive fight and I guess the comparisons will be.
      “Let’s see how Anthony Joshua does against Jermaine Franklin versus how Dillian Whyte did versus Jermaine Franklin and then we’ll see.”
