      by

      But it is the THIRD time the pair will attempt settle their score in the ring following a pair of previous pullouts.
      Fury was forced to withdraw due to a rib injury in December 2021 and then amid a US visa issue last August.
      So Paul has come prepared this time by placing ex-UFC welterweight-turned bare-knuckle boxer Perry on standby.
      And Perry’s sparring partner – karate combat star Samuel Ericsson – says the YouTuber better hope Fury makes it this time.

      Ericsson said: “I think Jake Paul has made a mistake putting Mike Perry on standby for if Tommy Fury drops out.
      “Because I am positive Mike will knock him out. He doesn’t care about anyone’s hype and he’s just too tough.
      “He’s also got a really intelligent fighting mind. Look at his BKFC fight with Michael Venom Page.
      “Everyone was predicting that Page would pick him apart and be too clever for him, plus Mike was the smaller guy in the fight.

      “But in the fight Mike not only overwhelmed him with aggression but was also the one setting traps and tricks.
      “Look what Page has done to people and then look at how Mike outboxed him.
      “So I think Jake Paul is biting off more than he can chew here, but I do respect Jake’s willingness to step up and take challenges like this.”
      Swede Ericsson, who knocked out Tarek Khelifi in the karate combat pit in December, has been sparring with Perry recently.
      The American was considered as an alternative for Paul, 26, when talks with Fury, 23, dragged on.
      But Perry, 31, will instead be patiently waiting after it was confirmed he was the substitute opponent.
      Paul said: “We have Mike Perry on standby. Let’s go Mike Perry. He’s ready to jump in if Tommy pulls out.”

      The 36-year-old appears the worse for wear as he shadow boxes in front of a framed portrait of him having won the IBF welterweight title in 2014.

      But he said recently he would return to the ring for the right offer.
      He has been touted as an opponent for light-middleweight Liam Smith who beat Chris Eubank Junior last weekend. More

      Paul had swapped sunny Puerto Rico – where he has been based for the last two years – for the Middle East.
      But he travelled from his Dubai camp to London over the weekend to officially face off with Fury for the first time.
      Following a hectic day of pay-per-view promotion, Paul returned back to Dubai to carry on with his preparation.
      And he gave fans a glimpse inside his brutal regime by uploading a series of training pictures.

      He can be seen sparring, shadow boxing and working the battles ropes, used to improve conditioning.
      What is most surprising is that the YouTuber-turned boxer is training out of Umar Kamani’s gym.
      Kamani is the CEO of PrettyLittleThing, the company in which Fury’s girlfriend Molly-Mae works as a creative director.
      The fashion mogul has welcomed the likes of Floyd Mayweather, 45, and Anthony Joshua, 33, through his gym doors before.

      And Paul, 26, was there as recently as November, when he commentated on Fury’s exhibition with Rolly Lambert, 33.
      It set the two up to finally meet in the ring, following two cancellations in the past.
      Fury, 23, was forced to pull out in December 2021 due to a rib injury and then last August amid a US visa issue.
      But he hopes it will be third time lucky after the duo agreed to a blockbuster in the Saudi desert.
      Fury himself is enduring a gruelling grind and said he even moved out of the £3.5million mansion he shares with Molly-Mae.
      He told Sky Sports: “I’m a professional athlete, I’m a professional boxer.

      “One man is flying around the globe, coming here to do media stuff, going here, there and everywhere and you’ve got one man that’s living in a hellhole.
      “I’ve moved out of my own house, I’m living in a little apartment, I’ve gone back to the dog mindset.
      “And that’s what’s going to get me through this fight, he’s not working as hard as I am, I’m putting the work in.

      Matchroom Boxing chief Hearn wasted little time in contacting Diaz after the UFC’s exclusive renegotiating period ended but was left stunned by the fan favourite’s aspirations in the squared circle.
      During an appearance on The MMA Hour, he revealed: “It was just a friendly conversation to say, ‘What are you thinking?’
      “And Nate Diaz’s mindset is, ‘I want to fight Canelo Alvarez.’ And who knows?”
      Although a Canelo vs Diaz fight would do well at the box office, Hearn has reservations about making the fight.

      He said: “I like to make competitive fights. That’s the problem again with Jake Paul, for example.
      “Jake Paul against Nate Diaz may be a fight that happens over time.
      “But at least with [Francis] Ngannou and AJ [Anthony Joshua], you’ve got two huge punchers were something could happen.
      “It’s very difficult to give Nate Diaz a shot in a Canelo Alvarez fight.

      “But again, Nate Diaz can box. I’m not saying he’s going to compete with Canelo Alvarez.

      “And I think there’s a fascination behind seeing these guys do something different.
      “It’s the unknown. What’s going to happen?
      “I have no idea. What if Francis Ngannou came out and they traded up and he knocked Anthony Joshua out?”
      Bar hinting that he wants to compete in Japanese combat sports promotion RIZIN, Diaz has kept his cards close to his chest since his UFC exit.
      Hearn would love to bring the enigmatic Stockton slugger into his stable of fighters but won’t move heaven and earth to sign him.

      The 43-year-old said: “I’m not the type to turn outside of someone’s house and camp out and harass people and phone people.

      Tyson Fury ranks top five heavyweights and puts Deontay Wilder above Anthony Joshua after blockbuster bout announced

      by

      TYSON FURY revealed his top five heavyweight boxers – with Brit rival Anthony Joshua down in third.Unsurprisingly, Fury put himself at the top of the tree, but few would argue against that.

      The Gypsy King completed one of the sport’s greatest ever comebacks when he battered Deontay Wilder in their February 2020 rematch.
      It saw Fury win the WBC title and hand Wilder his first ever pro defeat.
      Prior to the pair’s third meeting, in which the Gypsy King overcame the Bronze Bomber once again in a classic, the British boxing hero ranked his top five heavyweights.
      And despite the one-sided beatdown that was their second meeting, Fury still ranked Wilder ahead of Joshua in the pecking order, with the American coming in at No2.
      Fury and AJ had been set to meet in 2022, only for Joshua to not keep up his end of the bargain – losing to Oleksandr Usyk in September.
      Before this Joshua had ranked third, with 2023 opponent Usyk coming in at four.
      Although it’s fair to say Fury may well have now changed his mind.
      In fifth spot in the list Fury reeled off in a chat with the WBC was Dillian Whyte.

      The Brixton brawler got his shot at the Gypsy King in April 2022 but lost via sixth-round TKO.
      Now, Fury turns his attention to a massive unification fight against two-time AJ conqueror Usyk – potentially at Wembley.
