      And following the match, Wilder has been taken to hospital after getting knocked down four times.
      What is the latest update on Deontay Wilder’s condition?
      Just as in his second fight with Fury, Deontay Wilder has ended up in hospital following defeat to the Gypsy King.
      The Bronze Bomber will undergo tests this morning.
      However, the Wilder camp so far say this is simply a precaution.
      Following the fight, Wilder said: “I did my best, but it wasn’t good enough tonight. I’m not sure what happened.
      “I know that in training he did certain things, and I also knew that he didn’t come in at 277 pounds to be a ballet dancer.
      “He came to lean on me, try to rough me up and he succeeded.”
      And Fury commented: “Wilder is a tough guy with a big heart to keep going, I think a doctor got in the ring and checked him.
      “He took a lot of punishment and that puts miles on the clock – but so did I.”
      In their meeting 18 months ago, Wilder was taken to hospital after suffering a suspected burst eardrum. More

      What have they said?
      Smith: “I’ve never lost to a domestic fighter as a pro. I’ll beat Anthony Fowler; I’ll never lose to a domestic fighter. That’s a good little record to have.
      “I turned pro and I’ve had 30-odd fights and I’ve never lost to a Brit. If I beat Fowler, I’m not going to fight another domestic fighter again, unless it’s a [Chris] Eubank or someone like that.
      “I’m confident that I beat Anthony Fowler every day of the week and twice on Sunday. If I turn up at 100% then I beat Anthony Fowler. The way I see the fight going, it’ll be competitive early doors and then experience, cuteness and everything else will come on. I’ll stop him down the straight.” 
      Promoter Eddie Hearn: “This is the biggest night of boxing we’ve ever put on in Liverpool. The biggest Saturday night fight card we’ve put on since I’ve promoted boxing.
      “This fight is a fight that quite frankly I hadn’t even thought of a couple of months ago. Liam Smith went to Russia and was robbed in a fight which should have taken him on to challenge for a world title.
      “Anthony Fowler has improved and improved under the tutelage of Shane McGuigan and wants all the big challenges.” More

      Why are Red Bull cars white at the F1 Turkish Grand Prix?

      by

      F1 is in Turkey this weekend as Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen continue their battle for the world championship.But Verstappen might initially be a bit tough for some viewers to spot in his Red Bull car after a change in colour scheme.
      F1 Turkish Grand Prix LIVE – All the action from Istanbul

      Why are Red Bull in white at the Turkish Grand Prix?
      Red Bull are in white as a tribute to their outgoing racing partner Honda.
      The Japanese manufacturer will bid farewell to the Austrian team after seven years of providing its engine, as it bows out of F1.
      Driver numbers are also placed on red circle backdrops – a reference to the flag of Japan.
      And the body features the word ‘Arigato’ – Japenese for ‘Thank you’.
      Sister team AlphaTauri is also set to run with the message on its cars, having served as Honda’s partner since 2019.
      Red Bull will continue to use Honda power units in 2022 when an engine freeze is introduced as the newly formed Red Bull Powertrains takes on the manufacturer’s intellectual property.
      Will Red Bull race in white until the end of the season?
      No, the white shell will be a one-off tribute to Honda.

      Why have Red Bull chosen the Turkish Grand Prix to change colour?
      The Turkish Grand Prix has been chosen as F1 was set to race in Japan this weekend, before local authorities cancelled the event due to Covid concerns.
      Team Principal Christian Horner said: “We had all been looking forward to giving Honda’s Japanese fans a chance to celebrate our extremely successful relationship in Formula 1, on home soil at Suzuka.
      “With the race falling victim to the pandemic, we just couldn’t let the weekend pass without paying tribute to Honda and its amazing home fans by bringing a little bit of its heritage to Istanbul.
      “The livery chosen for our cars pays homage to Honda’s remarkable F1 journey and hopefully we can give fans another victory in those legendary colours this weekend.” More

      Who is Paris Fury? Tyson Fury’s wife and mother of their six kids

      by

      TYSON FURY is preparing to head back into the ring against Deontay Wilder.The Gypsy King, who currently lives in Morecambe, is all set to face the American for a THIRD time.

      After their last fight, he belted out American Pie to his adoring wife – but what do we know about Paris Fury?Who is Paris?
      Tyson met Paris around 16 years ago at a wedding of mutual friends when she was just 15.
      Like Tyson, who grew up in a gypsy family in Wythenshawe, Manchester, she was also raised in a traditional traveller family in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
      The pair met again by chance at Paris’s 16th birthday party and took up together, going to the cinema and ice skating every weekend.
      He is 6ft 9ins and she is 5ft 8ins.

      Fury has told Paris he’d like 10 kidsCredit: Instagram
      The heavyweight superstar has likened boxing to marriage.
      He said: “Boxing is like a marriage – you have to work at it. You do fall in and out of love.
      “But I have spiced it back up again, bought her some sexy lingerie and we are back at it, better than ever.”
      Paris, 31, has been a regular panellist on ITV’s Loose Women.What was their wedding like?
      The couple had a traditional wedding in front of more than 300 guests in Paris’ home town in November 2008.
      In keeping with the travellers’ tradition they didn’t sleep together until their wedding night.
      Paris explained: “Even after we got engaged, Tyson would sleep in a caravan at my parents’ home, while I slept inside the house.”
      How many children do the couple have?
      The couple have six, after welcoming the latest to their brood on August 8, 2021.
      They have welcomed a girl called Athena, who follows their third son Prince Adonis Amaziah.
      He came along just over a year after their fourth child, Valencia Amber.
      They are also parents to three other children – Prince John James, Venezuela and Prince Tyson Fury II.
      She told Tyson she was pregnant with Prince John James less than 24 hours before his famous world ­heavyweight boxing ­championship victory against Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.
      Paris revealed she suffered a miscarriage on the day of the Gypsy King’s comeback fight against Albanian Sefer Seferi. 
      But she did not let him know until after the bout.

      She said: “I was about eight weeks pregnant. Then on the day of the fight I knew I’d lost our baby.
      “I didn’t mention it to Tyson before he went in the ring.
      “Then straight after I told him and the next day we went to the hospital and it was confirmed.
      “Five weeks later we fell pregnant again.” More
