      by

      But he was beaten by Undisputed Universal champion Roman Reigns at the Crown Jewel pay-per-view event in Saudi Arabia.
      The event also played host to younger brother Jake’s first WWE appearance after he attacked Reigns’ Bloodline entourage.
      It has fuelled speculation that Logan, 27, could link up with his younger brother, 25, in an official tag-team partnership.
      And he told TMZ: “I think it’d be crazy, right? I don’t think that’s deniable. That would be amazing — yeah, that would be incredible.”

      According to PW Insider, Jake and the WWE have “a lot of interest” in working together again.
      But for now, the social media sensation-turned boxer in focussing on his fight career, after beating UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in October.
      He is now linked with a celebrity grudge match against rival Tommy Fury, 23, following two failed attempts to get it on in the past.
      Meanwhile, Logan has been ruled out of his proposed boxing return, scheduled for January, after suffering a horror knee injury against Reigns.

      Instead, he has talked up a massive WWE match against John Cena, 45, and messaged WWE chief Triple H, 53, to make it happen.
      Logan said on his podcast: “After the Crown Jewel event, John Cena posted about me on his Instagram.
      “And then I saw an article saying he’s looking for an opponent at WrestleMania.
      “I favourited it, responded with ‘the eyes [emoji]’. I mean, truthfully, I think me versus John Cena would break the internet.
      “I texted Triple H right away, ‘Do you want to break the internet again?’
      “That’s a dream matchup, dude: at WrestleMania, in LA, on my birthday.
      “Triple H, throw me a bone, give me a birthday present, let me take out John Cena. And that’d be crazy.”

      Tyson Fury pushed me and I twisted two ligaments in my foot in ‘massive breach’ of rules, claims Dillian Whyte

      by

      DILLIAN WHYTE claimed he twisted two ligaments in his foot after Tyson Fury “pushed” him over. Whyte was knocked out by the WBC champion in April following a brutal right uppercut in round six.

      But Fury, 34, clearly shoved the challenger after the punch connected but referee Mark Lyson waved off the contest.
      Whyte, 34, still protests that he should have been given until the count of ten to try and recover and that he was illegally pushed down.
      He told Matchroom Boxing: “I think the fight obviously got stopped too early you know, I got hit with a good shot. It’s boxing, you get hurt.
      “I’ve been down in fights before and obviously you get back up and obviously got hit with a good shot, pushed me over.

      “When he pushed me over I ended up f***ing twisting two ligaments in my foot.”
      Whyte was halted at the count of eight as he got to his feet dazed and confused while stumbling towards ref Lyson.
      But per the rules, pushing an opponent is considered an illegal move, categorised alongside kicking, headbutting and biting.
      It leaves Whyte, who returns next Saturday against 29-year-old Jermaine Franklin, feeling hard done by.

      He said: “The boxing board didn’t follow the rules as well because if you go down, after the bell they’re not allowed to stop the fight.
      “They’re allowed to send you to your corner, send the doctor intervene if you beat a ten count.
      “They didn’t even do that they just stopped the fight you know which is a big, massive breach.”

      After his most recent defeat in August, AJ revealed he will look to trial a different set of trainers having lately worked with Robert Garcia.
      Joshua, 33, told Sporting News: “So in terms of Robert Garcia, thank you for asking, I respect him a lot. He’s a really good man, really good trainer.
      “Will I work with him again? Yeah I would, but what I’ve said to Robert and the team as well is that I want to be a free spirit.
      “You know, I locked myself down for 11 years with one coach, and now I just feel like I just want to learn as much as possible.

      “Honestly, if you know me closely, which a lot of the viewers probably don’t, what it is is it’s not the trainer it’s about the fighter, what he has up here [in his head].
      “So I feel I’m in a position where I’m able to work with anyone. So, yeah, who knows what will happen next year.”
      Boxing great Roy Jones Jr, 53, offered his services to Joshua and the pair could set up a trial period together.
      And now renowned British coach Shane McGuigan, who formerly worked with ex-champion David Haye, has thrown his name into the hat.

      McGuigan said to SecondsOut: “It’s Anthony Joshua, of course, I would fancy it.
      “Athletic guy, he’s got things to learn, and he needs to get the belief back in himself.
      “Genuine belief back in himself, a couple of good victories and then roll the dice again.”

      Fury’s wins over Chisora in 2011 and 2014 put him on the path to heavyweight glory – with the Wythenshawe warrior going on to win all the titles on offer.
      But Chisora hasn’t been impressed by what he’s seen of his old rival in his back-to-back dust-ups with Deontay Wilder or his Wembley war with Dillian Whyte.
      War told BT Sport: “I think he was a better fighter when I last boxed him.
      “Last time I fought him he was better, he was good, he was on point.”

      Chisora’s third tussle with Fury will provide him with a second crack at a world title, the first of which came against Wladimir Klitschko ten years ago.
      But there won’t be any wild celebrations for the battle-weathered bruiser if he shocks the world.
      When asked how he plans to celebrate if he dethrones Fury, he said: “Go home. Do the same thing I do every day.
      “Go home and just chill. Winning or losing there’s only one place you’re going to go afterwards, and that’s home.

      “You chill, and then, from then, you know exactly what you’re going to do.”
      Despite handily winning their two previous meetings, Fury is refusing to overlook fan favourite Chisora.
      He said: “He [Chisora] done very well against [Oleksandr] Usyk.
      “And may I say, who the hell is Usyk? People didn’t know his name until he beat the bodybuilder the other day.
      “He was a little, small heavyweight who wasn’t going to do anything against AJ when Chisora fought him.
      “But then he stepped up and beat the big bodybuilder [Anthony Joshua] and now all of a sudden, he’s the killer. I don’t think so.
      “Listen, I rate Derek Chisora as highly as I rate Usyk, and I will train as hard for Derek as I will for any man in the world.
      “If I didn’t, I would have to be an absolute idiot – I will not underestimate Derek Chisora.

      “God forbid I got beat, it won’t be for the fact that I had an injury or I didn’t train hard enough, it would be the fact that I lost to a better man on the night.
      “We’re going to have a fight and that’s it. It’s going to be a good fight too, because he doesn’t shy away and I’m running nowhere, so someone is getting chinned.” More

      KSI – real name Olajide Olatunji – will face mixed martial artist and Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Dillon Danis at Wembley Arena on January 14.
      KSI cryptically talked up Danis’ skill set before the fight was officially announced, saying the American was “dangerous” and had “beaten a lot of people”.
      Fellow social media superstar Paul took exception to KSI’s description of Danis’ combat experience, tweeting: “‘Has beaten a lot of people’.
      “You are ‘boxing’ a guy who has two MMA fights in his entire career and the last one of those was 3.5 years ago.”

      Paul, 25, then claimed KSI should’ve fought his former foe Tyron Woodley, who recently revealed he had a contract to take on the YouTuber.
      He said: “Should have fought Woodley but you ain’t got the balls.”
      KSI and Danis clashed at the weigh-ins for Sunday morning’s Misfits card, with the latter PUNCHING the former in a heated scuffle.
      The pair went face-to-face again shortly after the confirmation of their bout and were quick to trade verbal jabs.

      KSI replied: “No, you don’t need to, but I could knock you out if I wanted to.”
      After a bit of argy-bargy, KSI said: “Best believe January 14, you’re finished.

      Revenge has been on Whyte’s mind ever since he lost their professional domestic dust-up seven years ago, so much so that he’d forego his usual purse demands to get his hands on the Watford warrior again.
      The Brixton Body Snatcher told DAZN: “I’ll fight Joshua tomorrow. I’ll fight him for less money.
      “Whenever me and him fight, sparks fly. We just want to beat each other up.”

      Whyte doesn’t foresee his rivalry with the former two-time unified heavyweight champion ever dying.
      He said: “I’ll fight Joshua even when I’m 60. It’s a fight that will make you me faster, diet better, and make me go to bed at 7 o’clock every day.”
      Before Whyte can think about levelling his series with Joshua, he must first get through a tricky tussle with Jermaine Franklin next weekend.
      He said of the American: ” He’s the best opponent at the minute. He’s 22-0.
