      Wilder responded, saying: “F*** your momma. F*** your momma.”
      Tension between both teams rose, with Shane Fury getting into it with a member of Wilder’s team.
      Shane said: “You with the b****es haircut. F*** you. I’ll tell you what a fat boy will do to you, rip you to pieces you p*****.”
      Brother Shane – who is manning the ship in dad John Fury’s absence – clearly didn’t take too kindly to the ‘momma’ jokes.
      The 28-year-old branded Wilder’s team a ‘classless piece of rubbish’.
      A rattled Wilder team member then threatened to ‘smack the f***’ out of brother Shane.

      They said: “I’ll beat yo ass, boy.”
      Shane responded: “You’re as dwarf, walk on, tough guy. Just walk on.”
      The man branded a ‘dwarf’ continued: “H** as boy, you ain’t gonna do s***.
      “I’ll smack the f*** out you boy. You a h**. You’re momma a h** too boy.
      “Your brother ain’t gonna get up tomorrow. Your brother ain’t gonna get up tomorrow.
      “And then you next. And then you next.”
      Wilder and his team have accused Fury of cheating his way to victory in their second fight back in 2020.
      You’re as dwarf, walk on, tough guy. Just walk on.Shane Fury
      And the American believes the Brit is preparing to cheat again on Saturday in Las Vegas.
      He told 78SPORTSTV: “You think he ain’t gonna try to cheat this time?
      “Oh they’re thinking, they’re coming up with a master plan.
      “But my thing to him – man, you couldn’t even get me out on loaded gloves and the conditions I was under.
      “You couldn’t knock me out, you didn’t knock me out.”
      Fury, in no mood to entertain Wilder’s excuses, listed the 35-year-old’s many theories – from glove tampering to spiked water.
      An excerpt of the post read: “No excuses… but: Costume was too heavy. Fury’s gloves were loaded.
      How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
      “I had weak legs. My water was spiked. Fury’s gloves had no padding. Had bicep surgery.
      “I was a zombie. Disloyal trainer. Complications in camp.”
      The post also included a number of conspiracy theories peddled by Wilder, including the 35-year-old’s claim that Fury had ‘egg weights’ in his gloves.

      Lawrence Okolie reveals Tyson Fury told him ‘you’re destined to be world champ’ after sparring for Deontay Wilder fight

      by

      TYSON FURY knew Lawrence Okolie would go on to become world champion after they shared rounds of sparring together. So much so that Fury, who hired the cruiserweight to prepare for Deontay Wilder before their original 2018 fight, reassured him of it.

      That is despite Okolie being mentored and managed by the Gypsy King’s long-time rival Anthony Joshua.
      The now-WBO champion was invited into Fury’s Los Angeles training camp to mimic 6ft 7in Wilder, and left being hailed as one to watch out for.
      Okolie, 28, told SunSport: “That trip there, it really boosted my confidence and belief even further. 
      “I was in there with someone I knew was a legitimate heavyweight championship-level fighter. 
      “I’ve been in there with AJ, but we’re friends, so being in there with someone who is not my friend, but is respected as a boxer and getting off good work, I left there with confidence. 
      “They were even telling me in the camp back then, ‘Oh mate, you’re destined to be a world champion’. 
      “And I’m just happy I proved them and everyone else right.” 

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      Fury, 33, who first drew to Wilder, 35, but won their 2020 rematch, saw his prediction reign true in March.
      Okolie knocked out Polish southpaw Krzysztof Glowacki, 35, in round six of his crowning night.
      The Londoner, who was inspired to box watching AJ in the 2012 Olympics while working at McDonald’s, now has his eye on unifications.
      And Latvia’s IBF champion Mairis Briedis, 36, who pushed Oleksandr Usyk, 34, all the way in 2018, is top of his list.
      He said: “It’s mainly whoever I can get, you can’t focus on one person because they can lose a fight, or someone else could come up. 
      “But he would be my No1 choice, purely because he’s ranked No1 and I don’t like being around someone that’s ranked above me. 
      “It’s like no, I won a world title not to mess around, I won a world title to fight anybody, so why not go to the No1? 
      “I believe I’m the No1, and there’s not a cruiserweight that could beat me, but I have to go out there and show it for real.” 
      They were even telling me in the camp back then, ‘Oh mate, you’re destined to be a world champion’. Lawrence Okolie on sparring Tyson Fury
      Before returning to the ring, Okolie has teamed up with his former employers McDonald’s launch a new Plan for Change. campaign.
      It will see youth workers and services connected to every restaurant in every community by 2024, 3,000 apprenticeship roles being offered by 2025 plus helping one million people gain new skills and open doors to jobs by 2030.
      Okolie said: “Working at McDonald’s gave me not just stability and direction but opportunities and training too.
      “I would honestly say it was one of the best times of my life, working with my brother, making friends I am still close with and learning things like punctuality, confidence and respect.
      “It was there I watched Anthony Joshua win at the 2012 Olympics whilst on a break in the crew room, which inspired me to start training and dream big.
      “Anything is possible if you work hard enough and I encourage all young people to believe in themselves.”

      “Do what you do, we all love you because you’re relentlessly yourself.”

      As we gear up for fight night, let’s recap how things stand following yesterday’s weigh-ins.
      Reigning champ Fury tipped the scales at the heaviest in his career, coming in at 19st 11lbs at Vegas’s MGM Grand.

      Challenger Wilder has taken a similar approach, packing on the weight to come in at his own career heaviest of 17st.
      After the weigh-in the pair then clashed backstage in one some of boxings most hallowed halls.
      They’ll get into the ring together tonight (or early tomorrow morning, to be exact) at the huge T-Mobile Arena just across town.
      Ring-walks are expected around 3am – once the anthems are done we’re expecting it to hit 3.30am before the first punch is thrown.
      TALE OF THE TAPE
      If you needed reminding, here’s how Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of their trilogy fight early tomorrow morning.
      How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight
      ‘SMASHING HIS FACE IN’
      Things certainly got heated during yesterday’s weigh-ins, with Fury – who donned a hat in homage to The Undertaker – vowing to smash Deontay Wilder’s face in.

      TRILOGY FIGHT BUILD-UP LATEST
      Tyson Fury can craft and crush his way into history and Deontay Wilder into retirement later tonight in Las Vegas.
       Britain’s heavyweight champ Fury is a warm tip to repeat his second-bout win – albeit on points this time – in the long-awaited trilogy fight.
      But the Gypsy King has had major problems in his build-up after the date was put back due to the 33-year-old catching Covid.
      Dynamite puncher Wilder’s career could be over if he loses again.
      But British boxing legends Ricky Hatton and David Haye have both fired warnings to Fury.
      Hatton urged his pal to ensure the contest doesn’t go “tits up” – after fellow Brit Anthony Joshua lost his WBA, IBF and WBO crowns to Oleksandr Usyk a fortnight ago 
      The former two-weight world king said: “Tyson is the favourite but it is not a foregone conclusion. It will be tricky.
      “We all want Tyson to win but – like we saw with the AJ fight – these are all sticky wickets and it can all go tits up with one heavyweight punch.”
      And Haye said: of Fury’s preparations: “If his camp has been that short then it is shocking but Tyson has proved time and time again that he raises his game only when he really has to.
      “When he beat Deontay Wilder (February 2020) and Vladimir Klitschko (2015) he had his back against the wall and people ruling him out and his performances went through the roof.
      “In other fights – like the Otto Wallin one – he has struggled his way through and not looked as good.
      “Maybe Tyson just has Deontay Wilder’s number now and he has just got him in his pocket, it can happen. We will find out again on Saturday.”
      CONTINUED
      Twig-legged Wilder, 35, was a career heaviest 16st 7lbs for the first defeat of his once-brilliant KO artist career.
      That night was a disaster but instead of stripping back the bulk he piled even more on.
      Wilder said “I wanted to look sexy and feel sexy, he will not be able to put all his weight on me now.
      “The weight came off naturally and we had a loving, joyous camp.”
      The pair clashed backstage in the MGM arena, swapping insults in the bowels of the building.
      Both men shouted “f*** your mumma” before Fury’s younger brother Shane got into a slanging match with a member of the Bomb Squad.
      Big Shane was heard yelling: “You piece of s***, you are getting knocked spark out. F*** you”
      And when a member of Team Wilder yelled back an insult relating to Shane’s curves, he barked: “I’ll tell you what a fat boy could do to you, rip you to pieces you p***y!”
      Fury’s unfamiliar black fedora hat also made a bit more sense when a social media message from wrestling legend The Undertaker was posted.
      The American giant asked Fury to floor his compatriot before standing over him and uttering his famous catchphrase: “Rest in peace”.
      FROM SUNSPORT’S BOXING REPORTER, WALLY DOWNES JR
      Bloodthirsty Tyson Fury plans to feast on Deontay Wilder’s plasma again tonight after weighing in at 19st 11lbs – the heaviest of his career.
      England’s 33-year-old WBC heavyweight champ weighed in at a monstrous 19st 7lbs for last clash he totally dominated and has packed on about 4lbs to reach 277lbs for the trilogy bout.
      Wilder did the same by packing on more muscle to hit his own career heaviest of 17st.
      When the Gypsy King shook up the sport by axing his old defensive skills and blasting Wilder out in seven February 2020 rounds, he had bulked up and looked sensational
      And he once again looks set to slam one foot on the Las Vegas gas and the other on the American’s throat.
      Remembering the iconic moment he licked the blood that was oozing from Wilder’s mouth and ear last time out, he roared: “I told him before the fight I wanted to taste his blood and I did.
      “It has only made me thirsty for more.
      “My weight means total obliteration and annihilation, 277lbs to put him in the royal infirmary.”
      MORE FURY
      “I feel absolutely amazing, I’ve been training at this weight for two years.
      “I’m on fire, I”m going to knock the dosser out, he’s in trouble tomorrow night.
      “I think he’ll be slow, he can’t carry his weight, he’s actually a small man.
      “They’re not going to face me, I’m a real man, he’s a coward.
      “I’d fight his army on my own.”
      WEIGHT RECAP
      So then, both men come in heavier than the second fight.
      Wilder is 238lbs, while Fury is 277lbs.
      Tomorrow should be a cracker.
      FURY
      “I’m going to severely damage him, he won’t be recognisable after the fight.”
      Fury is raging here, several swear words too!
      FURY
      “It means total annihilation of the dosser!
      “I’m going to put him in the infirmary.”
      WILDER
      “The weight came on, I wanted to look and feel sexy.
      “There won’t be no pushing me. Calmness is the key to the storm.”
      BAD MOUTHING
      Some shouting from Fury towards Wilder, who responds with his own yells.
      They both look like they could get in the ring right now!
      FURY WEIGHT
      Here’s Fury on the scales.
      And the Gypsy King is 277lbs!
      He was 273lbs last time…
      WILDER WEIGHT
      Deontay Wilder has stepped up to the scales.
      And he is 238lbs!
      That’s SEVEN pounds heavier than last time!
      DON’T LET TRILOGY GO ‘TITS UP’
      Ricky Hatton has urged mate Tyson Fury to keep British boxing afloat by not letting the Deontay Wilder trilogy go ‘tits up’.
      The Manchester legend was ringside to watch AJ surrender his WBA, IBF and WBO world titles to Oleksandr Usyk on September 25, as prospect son Campbell Hatton got a win on the undercard.
      In 2017 the UK held 13 boxing world titles but AJ’s defeat last month saw the number dwindle down to just six.
      And the 43-year-old national treasure wants his old pal – who did two training camps in his Manchester gym when working with ex-trainer Ben Davison in 2019 – to keep his eye on the ball in Sin City this weekend so he does not lose his WBC belt.
      “Tyson is the favourite but it is not a foregone conclusion,” the two-weight champion said. “It will be tricky.
      “We all want Tyson to win but – like we saw with the AJ fight – these are all sticky wickets and it can all go tits up with one heavyweight punch.”
      HERE THEY ARE
      Here is Deontay Wilder, finally on the stage and surrounded by a huge entourage.
      And straight after him is Tyson Fury, looking cool as a cucumber with his belts… and hat.

      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

      Here’s Fury on the scales.
      And the Gypsy King is 277lbs!
      He was 273lbs last time…
      WILDER WEIGHT
      Deontay Wilder has stepped up to the scales.
      And he is 238lbs!
      That’s SEVEN pounds heavier than last time!
      DON’T LET TRILOGY GO ‘TITS UP’
      Ricky Hatton has urged mate Tyson Fury to keep British boxing afloat by not letting the Deontay Wilder trilogy go ‘tits up’.
      The Manchester legend was ringside to watch AJ surrender his WBA, IBF and WBO world titles to Oleksandr Usyk on September 25, as prospect son Campbell Hatton got a win on the undercard.
      In 2017 the UK held 13 boxing world titles but AJ’s defeat last month saw the number dwindle down to just six.
      And the 43-year-old national treasure wants his old pal – who did two training camps in his Manchester gym when working with ex-trainer Ben Davison in 2019 – to keep his eye on the ball in Sin City this weekend so he does not lose his WBC belt.
      “Tyson is the favourite but it is not a foregone conclusion,” the two-weight champion said. “It will be tricky.
      “We all want Tyson to win but – like we saw with the AJ fight – these are all sticky wickets and it can all go tits up with one heavyweight punch.”
      HERE THEY ARE
      Here is Deontay Wilder, finally on the stage and surrounded by a huge entourage.
      And straight after him is Tyson Fury, looking cool as a cucumber with his belts… and hat.

      TIME HAS COME
      We are nearly there folks.
      Any moment now!
      WEIGHTING AROUND
      Another weigh-in, this time between undefeated pair Efe Ajagba and Frank Sanchez.
      Sanchez comes in at 240lbs while Ajagba is 237lbs.
      NEXT UP
      We now have Robert Helenius vs Adam Kownacki.
      Helenius is 246lb while Kownacki is 258lb.
      NOT QUITE YET
      First we have a weigh-in for Jared Anderson vs Vladimir Tereshkin.
      Tereshkin tips the scales at 256lbs while Anderson is 240lbs.
      GLOVES ARE OFF
      Deontay Wilder is examining some gloves… on a mobile phone screen.
      Surely it’s all been said and done by now!

      NEARLY THERE
      Both men are in the building, and the weigh-in is imminent.
      Fury even arrived in an Undertaker-style hat!
      Should be interesting…
      WILD THING
      Wilder sticks by his claims that Fury cheated in the second fight, saying: “I don’t regret it and I go to my grave believing in what I believe in.
      “I know things for fact. I have confirmation, clarity of a lot of things.
      “Many people can believe what they want. We’re all human. We believe what we want. But the eyes don’t lie.
      “It only made me better as a man, as a fighter, to understand and see certain things. To know things for facts.
      “It made me even hungrier than before.”
      FURY ROAD
      Speaking on Wednesday, Fury said: “All these fights are exactly the same to me. I’ve got some guy trying to take my head off with punches.
      “It don’t matter if it’s Deontay Wilder, or whoever it may be. It doesn’t really matter to me, because it’s the Tyson Fury road show.
      “I absolutely obliterated him in the rematch. He didn’t even win any of the rounds.
      “In this third fight, I just see much more of the same. I hope you’ve got your excuse book ready, dosser!”
      WHAT ARE THE ODDS?
      Unbeaten Fury goes into the fight as the favourite with odds of 4/11.
      You can get 9/4 on dangerous Wilder to avenge his only loss.
      And a draw – which was the result of their first fight remember – is currently set at 25/1.

      Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder’s ring-walk body language revealed how Gypsy King had won rematch BEFORE bout had started

      by

      A BODY language expert has claimed Tyson Fury had the edge over Deontay Wilder BEFORE the first bell rang. Fury dethroned the American of the WBC title in February 2020, after they drew two years beforehand and they now meet in a trilogy on Saturday.

      The Gypsy King walked in on a throne, with a crown on his head to the tune of Patsy Cline’s 1961 classic ‘Crazy’.
      And according to expert Mark Bowden, who teamed up with Parimatch, Fury’s ring walk oozed confidence.
      Here, he breaks down the key factors which put the unbeaten champion on the path to victory.
      Tyson has the power
      MB: Use of the icon of royalty portrays him as having high status and power, and also communicates that he should not be touched, let alone struck.

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      All hail the Gypsy King
      MB: The audience are asked to stand for their king which causes a powerful mass display of nonverbal compliance.
      This again signals to the opponent his power not only in the title but in others’ response to this.
      This can prime the opponent to socially comply also to this power signal.

      Fury holds the dominance
      MB: He is held up high on a throne in a display of height dominance.
      Also carried in by women to evoke the mythology of the Amazons, a mythical race of warrior women.
      In this imagery he has dominance over these super-women.

      A ‘crazy’ Fury approaching?
      MB: Images around the stadium are of Fury displaying a face of anger and the word Fury beneath it to evoke the emotions in the audience that he is full of anger, rage, and is a fury of violent power.
      The song also sings of “Crazy” to evoke the idea of loss of control.
      Conversely however, when carried in he sits calmly on his throne, and when he does rise seems to benevolently give blessings and benedictions to the audience rather like a Pope would do.
      Again, using the iconography of uniquely high-status world figures.

      Wilder offers no threat
      MB: Stands again with arms wide outstretched to display a fully prone body.
      This is a very vulnerable position and so shows that he does not suspect anything in the space to be of risk to him physically.
      He then stands casually leaning as he sings along to the lamenting song in a display of nonchalant calm. 
      When you are presenting yourself as the king, you are untouchable and even the gods are on your side.
      This affords you to be powerful with a serene calm. This is the story that Fury is playing alongside the large banners of his underlying aggression.
      This creates a grand story of his underlying extreme aggression that will be casually released upon his underling once in the ring.

      Tyson Fury makes Deontay Wilder fight prediction and vows to ‘punish’ rival before forcing him to quit on stool

      by

      HEAVYWEIGHT champ Tyson Fury has made his prediction ahead of his fight with Deontay Wilder on Saturday night.The Gypsy King, 33, believes the scrap will NOT go the distance and insists he’s going to force the Bronze Bomber, 35, to throw the towel in again.

      As quoted by ESPN via Michael Benson, Fury said: “Does it go the distance? No chance. I’ll stop him again. I’ll smash him.”
      Fury floored Wilder twice during their second fight in February 2020, with the American’s corner throwing the towel in during the seventh round.
      But during the first bout in December 2018, Wilder floored the Brit in the eleventh round before the judges called a controversial draw.
      And Fury believes the third meeting between the pair will be similar to their last scrap – but even more in favour of the defending champ.
      He added: “I’ll submit him this time. Like an MMA fighter, I’ll make him quit. I’ll punish him severely. I’m going to really, really damage him.”
      Fury is the favourite for the fight and British boxing legend Frank Bruno has tipped his compatriot to deliver again.

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      Promoter Eddie Hearn has also backed the Gypsy King to win on Saturday but believes he won’t stop the powerful American inside 12 rounds.
      And Fury’s British rival Anthony Joshua reckons Wilder will shock the boxing world and reclaim his WBC belt in Las Vegas.
      When asked about the fight, Joshua said: “I’m not too bothered… let’s go with Wilder because he seems obsessed, like he really wants it.
      “He seems really focused on the task ahead, so, you know, a focused man is a dangerous man and he’s focused.
      “Wilder might get the decision. Actually, no, it has to be a knockout.”
