But in the aftermath of the split-decision, the maverick heavyweight hero denied that Paris was pregnant. Fury, 35, and Usyk, 37, are now set to rematch on December 21 back in Saudi Arabia. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSHow rich are the Furys? Tyson and Paris Fury have an estimated combined net worth over £70 million. The bulk of this comes from Tyson’s heavyweight boxing paydays, most recently earning £80 million from his clash with Oleksandr Usyk. Experts believe he has a whopping £300 million sitting in the bank, which is also thanks to the Fury family’s Netflix show and five book deals. But mum-of-seven Paris proved she can take on the world after stepping down from Tyson’s company in August 2022 to focus on her own projects. In just one year of flying solo, she raked in £180,000 from book and PR deals, and social media ads.The couple live with their seven children in a £1.7 million mansion in Morecambe, Lancashire. But the IBF title will not be on the line after Usyk vacated it to proceed with the Riyadh return. Daniel Dubois, 26, instead was elevated from interim champ and defends the belt against Anthony Joshua, 34, on September 21. The winner of the all-British bout and Fury’s rematch with Usyk are then primed to collide for all the marbles.

But he contributed much more than his goals, which is really important when you’re scrapping away for your lives.“He wasn’t just sat at the top of the pitch waiting for the ball to come. He would roll his sleeves up and get involved in all aspects of the game.”Days after joining, Watkins made an instant impact with an equaliser against Farnborough.Team-mate Tom Jordan said: “He always struck me as the kind of lad who had his eyes wide open to different aspects of the game.“Sometimes you would have loan lads come in from a League club to non-League and they would be looking at you like they were doing you a favour.“His attitude was very different. He was coming in thinking, ‘I’m going to learn from this experience’.”It was during Watkins’ spell at Weston that the then Walsall boss Dean Smith spotted him.Smith would later take the striker to Brentford and bring him to Villa, where he has reached new levels under current boss Unai Emery.But Watkins has never forgotten the part that Weston played in his rise to the top.One of his Villa shirts is on display there, he has spoken to young players coming through and happily tells the local press how important and enjoyable his time at the club was.And he even helped fund an end-of-season boys’ trip to Spain due to his fines for being late – although he was allowed to join the rest of the squad.Read all about Ollie Watkins’ incredible rise in full… More

Then she called us out for basically leaving her on read.”It’s hard to meet people, isn’t it? I’m from Newcastle and eventually we met up, and then went on a very undercover date, and obviously what comes out in the press, comes out in the press, but it’s not always the full story.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSLaura is a regular sight on Adam’s InstagramCredit: instagramThey make the most of their free time togetherCredit: Instagram @laurawoodsy”I’m kind of glad in a way as well, as I feel like there’s an element of having to hide too much now.”Laura’s charm seemed to rub off on Adam almost instantly, as he also suggested he felt he might have found “The One”.How Euro 2024 host Laura Woods finally tamed Love Island’s biggest bad boy Adam Collard who made Joey Essex look like a puppyBy Christmas, Laura’s parents had also given the seal of approval for their relationship as he spent the holidays with her, joking that “luckily they don’t read many papers”.Yet even before that, Laura and Adam enjoyed a romantic getaway to Amsterdam, Holland, which saw them checking out a rude restaurant, enjoying a trip down the city canal’s and relaxing in a spa.Adam claims to have had 25 girlfriends in the past, yet the “influence of stability” – as relationship expert Jo Hemmings puts it – Laura gives off has been the cornerstone of their blossoming romance.While the pair have continued to be front and centre in their respective careers, with Laura a fan favourite on ITV and TNT Sports, they have also made time for each other.When they aren’t grafting, they have often been seen enjoying one another’s company on holiday.Following their trip to Amsterdam, their next getaway in February saw them skiiing on the famous French Alps, though Laura revealed it resulted in a few “near-death experiences”.In March, during the international break, the pair changed lanes by jetting off together for some sun and sea at Tulum Beach in Mexico.Adam and Laura shared a number of snaps from the holiday, including one of Laura planting a kiss on Adam’s cheek while they were at a restaurant before also revealing what their favourite food was following a date night at Checkpoint Ciao.How Laura Woods tamed Love Island bad boy Adam CollardHE was one of Love Island’s most notorious bad boys – but one woman seems to have changed all that.Personal trainer Adam Collard, 28, has been dating Euro 2024 presenter Laura Woods, 36, since 2023.The former loverat has called her “The One,” spent Christmas with her – the first time he’s done so with a girlfriend since he was 21 – and kept their relationship relatively out of the limelight, seemingly on Laura’s wishes.It’s a far cry from the man who admits himself he’s been “ruthless” in the past, claims to have had 25 girlfriends, and spent many years partying and juggling flings with girls including Zara McDermott and Lottie Moss.Relationship expert Jo Hemmings says: “He’s now 28, he’s a professional with a job, and I think he just went off the whole idea of ever realistically meeting somebody on a TV show.“He’s now met somebody who is also a professional, and is only on TV as a byproduct of what she does in sport.“He’s got himself in a comfortable place. Financially, he’s older, he’s more mature, he’s more settled.“He once played into this roguish character that people saw him as, and became a parody of himself. But look who’s laughing now.“He’s got a fabulous girlfriend, they’re in a long term relationship, he’s well off, he’s still in the public eye, and he’s getting on with his life in the way that I think he always wanted.”Read the full article hereThe following month, Laura shared a selfie from the Tulum trip featuring Adam with the caption: “Things I love.”However, in May as the hectic English football season drew to a close, Laura suffered an horrorendous facial injury.Laura had been due to present TNT Sports’ coverage of Tyson Fury’s undisputed heavyweight title fight with Oleksandry Usyk before she was forced to pull out after revealing she had accidentally smashed a glass lampshade while on holiday with Adam.She explained how the smash had caused it to shatter before it cut her face and arm, leaving her with some nasty injuries around her eye.Unfortunately, the freak accident was used by vile trolls as a way to bash Adam by suggesting he was involved, before he snapped back: “Shut up you stupid c*** and read her Instagram post.”Laura described Adam as her “hero” that day as she hailed him for “acting so quickly and not leaving my side since and to his family for taking care of me in a time when I was petrified”.After some time being seen with a bandage around the effected area, Laura was back on TV in time for ITV’s coverage of the Euros.In early July, Adam posted a loved-up pic of the pair to celebrate Laura’s birthday, captioning the post: “Happy birthday you rockstar x.”Laura had a nasty accident in May when she shattered a lampshadeCredit: Instagram @laurawoodsyLaura described Adam as a ‘hero’ for all his helpAnd fast forward a couple of weeks and they have shared the news that they are expecting a baby.The post was simply captioned: “Hey, baby,” followed by some love heart emojis.However, some eagled-eyed fans had noticed some telltale signs that gave away the news days prior.Recent social media posts by Laura had not showed her stomach, while a post from Adam saw a note reading: “Just remember 5 years ago, you dreamed about where you are now”, which may have been another clue.Fans also noticed a brief social media hiatus from them in the days prior to the announcement.Adam has made no secret of his desire to have kids, but declared he would not be plastering them all over social media.He previously said: “I’m protective, whether it’s Laura, or my family, my friends. I want to get married. I want to have kids as well. “I’ve always thought, what type of person will I be? How can I protect my kids?”Obviously I’ve never had a kid, but I don’t think I’ll be plastering it all over [social media]. “I want them to have a fair fight and a chance not to be judged straight away.READ MORE SUN STORIES”As long as my really close circle knows exactly who I am, I don’t care.
