    And the WBC world boxing champ admitted it has been hard to study the boxing debutant.
    He said: “It’s been a little bit difficult to get any footage on the guy but at the end of the day I can only be the best version of myself.
    “It’s not really about what the opponent does, ever, it’s always about me being the best version of myself and going in there fully prepared and expecting the unexpected.”

    Fury has already signed for his next fight before even sharing the ring with powerhouse Ngannou.
    He has an agreement in place with Oleksandr Usyk, 36, to meet in the heavyweight division’s first four-belt unification.
    Promoters have eyed a December 23 date in Saudi, meaning Fury has little time to breathe between bouts.
    He admitted: “It’s a quick turnaround yes, that’s for sure.
    “But I’ve been prepping for these boxing fights for 35 years, if I can’t do it now I’m never going to be able to do it.
    “It’s never been a thing of, ‘I’m going to go for it or I’m not going to go for it.’
    “It’s always been thing have happened, finances have been involved and things haven’t worked out for whatever reason.
    “This time, everything’s in place, everything’s there and the deal was done in like ten minutes when before it was taking months on end to get sorted out.”

    PIERS MORGAN urged Victor Osimhen to “come to Arsenal” as the striker considers suing his own club Napoli for a mocking TikTok video.Osimhen’s agent blasted the Italian champs for a now-deleted post taunting their main man for missing a penalty in Sunday’s 0-0 Serie A draw at Bologna.

    And Gunners’ super-fan Morgan responded with a direct plea to the Nigerian, who was linked with Arsenal, Manchester and Chelsea earlier this year.
    The Sun columnist posted: “Don’t take this terrible treatment @victorosimhen9 – come to Arsenal instead.”
    PSG, Newcastle and Everton also reportedly shown interest in the 23-year-old in the last two transfer windows.
    Napoli have appeared determined to keep a player who some pundits rate as the world’s most complete frontman.

    That stance has not altered publicly – but the decision to make, let alone post, a video trolling Osimhen seems bizarre.
    Napoli added the caption “Gimme penalty please” to his spot-kick miss, plus a whining voice-over appearing to take fun out of the ex-Lille star.
    Osimhen’s representative Roberto Calenda issued a statement on Tuesday night condemning the club’s actions.
    He wrote: “What happened today on Napoli’s official profile on the TikTok platform is not acceptable.

    “A video mocking Victor was first made public and then, but now belatedly, deleted.
    “A serious fact that causes very serious damage to the player and adds to the treatment that the boy is suffering in the last period between media trials and fake news”.
    “We reserve the right to take legal action and any useful initiative to protect Victor.”
    Osimhen later appeared to have deleted all reference to Napoli from his Instagram account, with only pictures from Nigeria and his previous clubs remaining. More

    FA creep Luis Rubiales refuses to apologise to Jenni Hermoso & says kiss was ‘noble’ in bombshell Piers Morgan interview

    Rubiales caused a worldwide storm by kissing Spain’s Jenni Hermoso on the lips at the Women’s World Cup Final
    The row caused a shockwave across the international football world, as numerous figures called for his resignation and Spanish prosecutors opened a criminal investigation.
    But in a revealing sit-down with Piers, Rubiales defended his actions – saying the kiss was “noble”.
    He said: “You can imagine if you win the lottery or hopefully soon one day the war in the Ukraine finishes, I mean celebrations will go on up and down the globe. 
    “People don’t ask permissions, it’s just a happy, happy time and people celebrate.
    “This has turned out to be a snowball created by spurious arguments and people. 
    “My intentions were noble, enthusiastic, 100% non-sexual, 100%, I repeat, 100%.”
    During the interview he was repeatedly pressed by Piers to apologise to Hermoso – but he insists it was a misunderstanding.
    He said: “It was a mutual act, she came towards me, very happy. She lifted me up, she lifted me up in the air… We were both emotional.

    “When we hit the ground, I had a quick conversation with her. We congratulated each other. I gave her a quick peck. I asked her, can I give you a quick peck, which is normal in our country. 
    “I think she gave me one or two slaps in my side, she was laughing, and that was it. No intention. 
    “Of course no sexual connotation of anything. Just a moment of happiness, just great joy in that moment.”
    It comes after Rubiales this week revealed he is resigning following the scandal.
    On Wednesday World Cup Champion Jenni Hermoso presented a complaint of sexual assault against Rubiales to the Spanish prosecutors office.
    He formally announced his resignation from the Spanish FA and from his UEFA vice-presidency.
    It’s the first formal complaint from Hermoso, 33, following the non consensual kiss after Spain’s victory.
    She lodged the sexual assault complaint in person at the State Attorney General’s Office – as the public ministry will present an official complaint soon against Rubiales soon.

    A judge at Spain’s Audiencia Nacional court in Madrid will be tasked with conducting the probe and deciding whether Rubiales should face charges before inviting prosecutors to indict the suspended Spanish FA president.

    “This is more a question of not only me. In this situation now it is more intelligent and the thing I had to do.”
    After news of his resignation broke, Rubiales tweeted: “I will defend my honour. I will defend my innocence.
    “I have faith in the future. I have faith in the truth.

    “I’m very proud of them. They are very close to me.”

    “I do not want Spanish football to be harmed by this entirely disproportionate campaign.”

    Dad John already helped to raise the heat between the two fighters as their latest press conference to promote the fight descended into chaos when he began flipping tables on stage this week.
    And the former bare-knuckle boxer predicted more carnage come fight night as he claimed his son will keep punching his opponent until he “URINATES” himself and warned it will be a “street-fight with gloves on” at the event.
    After claiming his “good-looking son” can beat anybody out there, Fury then told Garraway and GMB viewers today: “Don’t be deceived by looks. This kid can fight, he’s as tough as boots.”
    And he then finished off by promising: “The fans are going to love it.”
    KSI also appeared on the ITV show last month and made a better impression on Garraway.
    The 30-year-old sat down in the studio to discuss his global fame, appeal to young people and how he keeps his private life under wraps.
    But he then stood up to give Garraway a punching demonstration – with the presenter later throwing some punches at co-host Richard Madeley.
