    ‘Time to put the lbs back on’ – Chris Eubank Jr posts picture of skinny frame ahead of piling weight back on

    CHRIS EUBANK JR has posted a picture of his skinny frame after his fight with Conor Benn was postponed following his rival’s failed drugs test.The 33-year-old campaigned as high as 168lb at super-middleweight but dropped to 159lb to meet the catchweight in order to fight his rival.

    Born Rivals Eubank Jr and Benn were set to do battle almost 30 years after their dads’ famous rematch, which ended a draw.
    However, Benn failed a drugs test after traces of clomifene were discovered in his system.
    Clomifene is commonly used as medication to treat infertility in women who do not ovulate, but it can also increase testosterone levels in men.
    The BBBoC then stepped in and declared the scrap is prohibited under their sanctioning, despite BOTH fighters wanting to continue with the bout – a decision which promoter Warren has praised.

    Benn insisted he’s a “clean fighter” but Eubank Jr says his rival “escaped his schooling”.
    Eubank Jr tweeted: “Conor got caught using an illegal substance so the fight is off. Can’t believe it.
    “I really apologise to the fans & everyone that bought tickets, traveled & booked hotels, this should not of happened.
    “He has escaped his schooling… for now.”

    Eubank Jr will now pile the pounds back on, sharing a skinny post-workout photo to Instagram.
    And he has gone up a lot in some boxing fan’s estimations.
    One responded: “Fair play for being a man of your word – warrior code.”
    Another said: “I used to love your boxing but hate your attitude, now your my favourite fighter.
    “You’ve done yourself proud the way you have dealt with all the press and shown the real you.
    “You’re the people’s champ from now [on]. Hats off.” More

    Roman Fury is 25 years old and boxes as a cruiserweight. He is the brother of Tyson and Tommy, and the son of John.
    He had previously had a scholarship to become a rugby league player but got into boxing after his weight ballooned up to 19 stone. 
    Roman shed six stone after starting training with Tyson and Tommy during lockdown and is now ready to go under the microscope by following the family tradition in the ring.

    Roman, who lives in Morecambe and trains alongside WBC heavyweight champ Tyson and fellow brother Tommy, told VIP Boxing: “I don’t want to rush things. I don’t want to box on big bills just because I carry the ‘Fury’ name.
    “You can’t run before you can walk and the VIP Boxing shows are ideal for me to learn my ringcraft and build.
    “I could have had amateur fights, but I am around professional boxers and learning that side of things.
    And Roman is brother to Tommy, 23Credit: PA
    What is is pro boxing record?
    Roman had his first pro boxing fight on October 8 in Doncaster.
    He beat Ryan Hibbert over four rounds on his debut to move to 1-0 in the pro ranks.
    He has no amateur experience and says that he has “only messed around on the pads” – but that is not stopping him from trying to add more championships to the family collection.

    “It really has.”
    More from Roman
    Roman Fury has been quizzed on his southpaw style, which echoed shades of older brother Tyson.
    Speaking on the comparisons, he told Sporty Stuff TV: “It must be inherited because I’ve had a load of people saying I box like him, I resemble him.
    “So that’s only good things isn’t it. I felt good in there, I felt loose.
    “And that was the key for me, that’s what everyone’s been saying, ‘control yourself, be loose and look experienced’ and I didn’t look like a novice at all did I?
    “I looked like an experienced boxer so I’m very happy with it.”
    Roman Fury reacts to his win
    Speaking after the fight, Roman Fury tells Sporty Stuff TV: “I couldn’t have asked for a better debut.
    “I’ve never experienced anything like this before in my life.
    “So I’m just happy with how I dealt with it, I’m proud of myself, I’ve gained confidence and it’s on to the next one now!”
    On his opponent: “He’s had tons of fights, thanks to Ryan [Hibbert] for taking the fight. I’ve learnt lots from him, he’s not just a pushover, he’s a very experienced guy.
    “And yeah I’m very happy with it.”
    Roman’s return
    Roman Fury will be back in action in just FIVE weeks, according to his manager.
    He is set to feature on the undercard of Ricky Hatton vs Marco Antonio Barrera on November 12.
    Roman Fury wins on debut!
    It’s a win for Roman Fury on his professional debut!
    He triumphs by a score of 40-36 on the solitary scorecard, meaning he won all four of the rounds.
    That’s about as comfortable as it gets!
    The Fury family ringside are on their feet cheering.
    Result coming next!
    Here comes the result…
    Ryan Hibbert is already applauding Roman Fury…
    Ding! Ding! Ding!
    And there’s the final bell!
    Roman Fury goes for broke at the end, trying to land a last second KO to no success.
    The pair touch gloves at the end of the fight.
    Tyson Fury is on his feet applauding his little brother, as is Tommy, as Roman holds his hand up to the crown.
    Final minute of the fight
    We’re into the final minute of Roman Fury’s pro debut.
    There haven’t been any fireworks, but he’s gone about his work effectively.
    Fury lands with a left right combo to Ryan Hibbert’s body as the clock ticks down.
    Round Four underway
    The fighters touch gloves as the bell sounds for the fourth and final round.
    Will there be a late KO in this?
    End of Round Three
    That’s the end of the third.
    Just one round left to go now in Roman Fury’s professional debut.
    Ryan Hibbert didn’t look to engage in that one, leaving Fury to do all the work.

    End of Round Two
    There’s the end of the second, signalling the halfway point in the fight.
    Again, Roman Fury has probably shaded that one.
    Round Two – Hibbert improving
    Ryan Hibbert is just starting to settle into this one a bit more.
    Although he gets himself so excited he falls over after an almighty swing with his right hand.
    Round Two – Here we go
    Right, we’re back underway.
    Roman Fury starts the second how he ended the first, and is the bigger aggressor of the two fighters.
    He throws a jab before looking to follow it up with a booming left hand, but can’t connect.
    What a ring walk
    Tyson, Tommy and John all made the ring walk with Roman for his debut.
    We now move into round two.

    End of Round One
    Fury connects with a decent overhand left as he backs Hibbert onto the ropes again.
    And there goes the bell.
    End of round one, which will probably go the way of Fury.
    The pair touch gloves as they make their way back to their corners.
    Round One – Fury on front foot
    It’s Roman Fury who is the more aggressive of the two fighters early on.
    He’s got Ryan Hibbert backed up on the ropes.
    There’s not much landing in the way of punches, but it’s a confident start for his pro debut.
    Ding! Ding! Ding!
    We’re underway in this cruiserweight bout.
    Roman Fury, brother of Tyson, is making his professional debut.
    Four three minute rounds are scheduled.
    Fury Sr cheering on brother
    Tyson Fury gives a big cheer ringside as Roman is introduced.

    Tyson Fury’s dad insures his wedding tackle for £10million after fathering world champ

    TYSON Fury’s dad has insured his wedding tackle for £10million.John Fury said his testicles are hot property because he fathered the heavyweight champion of the world.

    John, 58, who is super fit and does 10km runs, said he took out the policy after Gypsy King Tyson, 34, won the WBC world heavyweight title.
    He said: “I’ve insured my nuts for £10million. Believe me there is good stuff that comes out of them.
    “I’ve got world champion nuts in these trousers — breed some kings I do.
    “There are only champions coming out of these nuts — it’s been proven hasn’t it?”
    Read More on Tyson Fury
    The former professional boxer said he got the policy after Tyson knocked out Deontay Wilder in 2020 to win the WBC title — making him a two-time world champ.
    John has two other sons — Love Island star Tommy, 23, who boxes professionally, and Shane, 29, who isn’t a pro boxer but has trained with his brothers.
    Tommy is unbeaten after eight pro bouts and says he is also aiming to be a world champ.
    John was never a champion and has a modest pro boxing record of eight wins, four defeats and one draw.
    Most read in Boxing
    But he was known as a fearsome bare-knuckle fighter.
    He has 18 grandchildren and is expecting a 19th after Tommy announced his partner, Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague, is pregnant with their first child.
    John told freebets.com: “Words cannot express how proud of Tyson and Tommy and all my family I am. I feel like I’m a world champ some times.”

    Watch Anthony Joshua smash punching machine challenge with weaker hand – but how does he compare to Tyson Fury?

    ANTHONY JOSHUA followed in heavyweight rival Tyson Fury’s footsteps by taking on a punching machine challenge.The 32-year-old almost broke the machine – despite having a go with his WEAKER hand.

    Tyson Fury took on a similar machine last monthCredit: Instagram
    Joshua didn’t manage to register the 999 needed to break the machine, but he did clock an impressive score of 965.
    And that was using his left hand.
    Although it was less than Fury’s mammoth effort on a similar machine last month.
    Comparing scores on a punching machine might be the closest the pair ever come to fighting after their December 3rd bout was KO’d.
    Read More In Boxing
    And it’s the Gypsy King, 34, who has bragging rights when it comes to the punching machine challenge.
    WBC champ Fury clocked a huge 993 when having a go last month – and that was also with his weaker hand.
    Joshua though did better his previous effort with his latest score.
    AJ registered a score of 848 during an appearance on the Graham Norton Show in 2017.

    While Fury can technically claim bragging rights, it must be said each machine is different so any comparisons are hard to gauge.
    British boxing fans had been eagerly anticipating a blockbuster bout between the pair at the end of the year.
    That was until hopes of a mega showdown were KO’d when Fury claimed AJ missed his deadline to sign a contract for the clash.
    While Fury recently confirmed he would be fighting on December 3rd, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn admitted in the week that the bout was off.

    And he now weighs 24st 4lbs after training hard over the last few weeks – an increase of nearly two stone compared to his pre-fight weight.
    Ford, who is dubbed the ‘World’s Scariest Man’, also revealed he has never been so happy.
    Instead of focusing on boxing the 40-year-old has returned to his TV and film career and recently starred in Netflix’s ‘The Sandman’.
    He has been living in Bulgaria and appears to be loving his “stress-free” life.

    Ford shared a photo on Instagram showing off his huge frame, and used the post as an opportunity to speak to his followers.
    He said: “154 KG / 340lb. It’s incredible what a happy mind can do, the last few months, my food has been off (difficultly living in a hotel room), training has been consistent but it’s been in a commercial gym with no training partner.
    “Work has been amazing but extremely tough physically and sleep deprived.
    “However I have been so happy, so great full and had absolutely zero stress while I’ve been here. And my god it shows in my results.

    “Not only that, having a clear focus and a solid purpose to train. Bulgaria has been amazing for me, for so many reasons, appreciate each and everyone of you who has added to this incredible experience.”
    The bodybuilder intended to fight Sajad Gharibi, aka the Iranian Hulk, in April, but it was cancelled due to Ford holding concerns about his opponent’s physical and mental wellbeing.
    Ford vowed he would organise a replacement fight but he has been unable to do so.
    And since he has cut down to 22st 8lbs for that contest, it does not seem likely that Ford will be fighting anytime soon. More

    He has no amateur fighting experience but Tyson believes that Roman may become a cruiserweight champion in the future.
    The Gypsy King took to Instagram to support his sibling saying “massive congratulations and good luck” ahead of the bout.

    He has reportedly ballooned up to 19 stone for the bout and has plenty of well respected people in his corner.

    Roman previously had a scholarship to become a rugby league player but got into boxing after getting heavier. 
    He shifted six stone after starting training with Tyson and Tommy during lockdown and is now ready to go under the microscope by following the family tradition in the ring.
    Jimmy Harrington is his trainer and manager as well his father John regularly by his side.
    It is no surprise Roman has taken to boxing as he is the ninth Fury to compete – as have cousins Hughie and Andy Lee.
