      Reid was stunned into silence
      But he left the GMB host stunned when he started throwing combinations midway through their conversation.
      AJ started throwing left and rights in his seat when Reid began discussing a potential Battle of Britain with long-time rival Tyson Fury.
      Reid couldn’t quite believe her eyes and completely stopped talking as the Watford warrior did a brief shakedown in front of millions of viewers.
      Prior to his shadowboxing antics, Joshua was asked by GMB co-host Martin Lewis if he’d fight Gypsy King Fury if he wins this weekend.

      Joshua, 33, replied: “That would be an honour, honestly.
      “The WBC heavyweight champion of the world, to be able to compete for the title again in the summer.
      “I would love that opportunity. If you’re asking me, yes, I would take the opportunity for sure.”
      Before AJ can start thinking about a multi-million-pound showdown with Fury, he must first take care of business against Jermaine Franklin at The O2 on Saturday night.

      🥊 Anthony Joshua vs Jermaine Franklin – Date, live stream, TV channel and all you need to know about heavyweight bout
      Joshua’s clash with the American will be his first since back-to-back defeats to pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk – who is seething following the collapse of his undisputed showdown with Fury.
      And the Olympic gold medallist admits a third defeat on the bounce could spell the end of his illustrious career.
      He said: “How long can this run go on for, three or four years?

      “And you know how quick time goes.
      “We’re saying this now and we can look back in two years, three years, and be like f***ing hell where’s the time gone?
      “So, if I was going to do another run after this, you’re talking about fighting into my forties and I truly believe that boxing is a young man’s sport, 
      “It takes a real solid character like Bernard Hopkins, George Foreman, Wladimir Klitschko and Alexander Povetkin, to go on into their forties.
      “But I think this is a run I want to make successful and then, you know, hopefully, go out on top.”

      Grinning Tommy Fury REFUSES to answer GMB host Susanna Reid’s question on Jake Paul victory

      by

      TOMMY FURY grinned and refused to answer how much he had earned from his victory over Jake Paul during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.TNT, 23, claimed a split decision victory over the Problem Child in Saudi Arabia on Sunday after years of bad blood despite being knocked down in the final round.

      Tommy Fury refuses to give hosts Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid an amount
      Fury celebrated wildly in the ring after two judges scored it 76-73 in his favour with the other favouring Paul 75-74.
      He then broke down in tears as he dedicated the win to girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague and their new baby daughter Bambi and declared he would accept a rematch if Paul wanted it before the American reeled out a number of excuses for his loss.
      Fury is believed to have secured a £4m purse for the blockbuster showdown in the Middle East but could have walked away with twice that amount had he taken up Paul’s offer during the week.
      The Problem Child rocked up pre-fight with a contract for Fury to sign after they had previously shaken on a double-or-nothing bet that would either see the Brit take home £8m or be left empty-handed, depending on who won.

      However, Fury ultimately refused to put pen to paper as he held on to his agreed payday.
      Love Island star Fury appeared on Good Morning Britain for his first TV appearance since the fight and showed off a plastered eye in the process and confirmed he will grant Paul a rematch.

      But when host Susanna Reid pressed him about how much he pocketed from the bout, he simply said he had done “very well” before grinning to the camera.
      Tyson Fury’s half-brother then said: “But not for me should I say, because everything I do now in my career is for Bambi.

      “Everything I do is to make sure she’s happy and has a good life for herself.
      “Whatever I can do to make sure she has that, that’s enough for me. This victory, it was for her and for both of them.
      “At the end of the day, I’ve been training and Molly’s been amazing.
      “She’s the best woman any man can ask for. I owe everything to her and Bambi.”

      Speaking on the programme, Fury has now confirmed his intention to face off against the YouTuber-turned-boxer once again.
      He said: “The rematch is something that I’m definitely wanting because I believe in the rematch I will stop him.
      “You know [in] the first fight I’ve never been eight rounds before so you’re just a bit weary of what’s in your tank and how the fight is going to go.
      “But I’ve now been in the ring with him once, I know what to expect.”

      TNT emerged victorious over The Problem Child in the grudge match in Saudi Arabia via a split decision from judges.
      It saw Fury improve to a 9-0 record, while Paul had his first loss in professional boxing inflicted on him to move to a 6-1 record.
      Tommy’s big brother Tyson Fury also believes a rematch is the way forward for him.

      “I expected Tommy to knock him out, to be quite honestly quite comfortably, but Jake was better than I thought he’d be, so fair play to Jake Paul…
      “He’ll (Tommy) be headlining now forever. I’d like to see him fight a rematch with Jake Paul and fight Logan, his brother.”
      However, since the fight, a row has ensued regarding the payouts following a bet which the pair shook hands on.
      Fury has taken home a cool £3.7million, while Paul claims to have walked away with a whopping £25m.
      Pre-fight Paul wagered a double-or-nothing deal to Fury, with the pair shaking hands before needing to be separated.
      John Fury, father to Tommy and Tyson, took to social media to demand Paul honours his end of the alleged deal.
      But Paul has hit back, claiming both Tommy and John refused to sign the deal.
      In response, Paul’s manager, Nakisa Bidarian, said: “Dear John – congratulations on the win.
      “I’ve grown to highly respect you off camera.

      “However, this statement is shocking given what you said to me at his Highnesses [sic] house on Friday evening and the correspondence from your / Tommy’s lawyer.
      “Moreover our team has you on camera refusing to agree on the deal the night of the fight.” More

      by

      The ex-England defender initially had a dig at celebrity Arsenal fan Piers Morgan, who claimed Thomas Partey would dominate the “snowflakes” in United’s midfield.
      But Ferdinand then had no problem in agreeing Arsenal could be on course for their first Prem title since 2004.
      He told Gunners fan Joel Beya on his Five Youtube channel: “You lot played like champions.
      “I was sitting there watching it with my two sons.

      “The biggest telling factor for me was when you went one down. There was zero panic.”
      Sun columnist Piers had predicted beforehand that all-action Partey would be too strong for his Red Devils’ counterparts.
      So Ferdinand was quick to note Marcus Rashford nutmegging the Ghana hero on the way to his brilliant 17th-minute breakthrough.
      Ferdy posted a clip of the England frontman’ s cheeky skill and chilling finish along with the taunt: “Close ya legs!”

      ‘Come and be loved’ – Piers Morgan begs Declan Rice to make Arsenal transfer as they line up £80m move

      Rice have been linked with a summer move to the Emirates Stadium.
      Arsenal are believed to have made signing the Hammers captain their top priority in order to bolster their midfield options.
      The club are also keen on the deal as it would be a blow to rivals Chelsea, of which Rice is a long-term target.
      The Blues hijacked Arsenal’s deal for Mykhailo Mudryk, and this could be a way for the North London side to get their own back.
      READ MORE ON ARSENAL
      Morgan, however, believes that Rice would be perfect for Mikel Arteta’s squad alongside Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey.
      He told talkSPORT breakfast: “I love Declan Rice. I’ve had this conversation with him on Twitter where I’ve begged him to come before. I think he’s exactly what we need.
      “I think that when Arsenal have our first eleven starting, including Xhaka and Partey, we look really strong, but if one of those two gets injured, I think we need another big midfield enforcer who can also play a role in attack too.”
      “Rice can do everything and he’s got that right mentality, the right attitude, I think he’s very much an Arteta-style player and I think he would fit absolutely perfectly into our squad.”

      The vocal Gunner also suggested that Rice would “be loved” should he move to the Emirates Stadium.
      He added: “So Declan, come on, I know you’re listening, Declan – come, come to the Emirates. Come and be loved.”
      The England international has made it clear that he wants to be challenging for trophies in his career.
      This is something that does not seem likely at 18th-placed West Ham.
      But a move to Arsenal will not come cheap as the East London club are set to demand a premium price for their star player.
      Rice’s contract runs until 2024, with the option for a further year. More

      ‘94,000 Ben!’ – Tyson Fury hilariously interrupts GMB host Shephard to correct him on how many fans watched him vs Whyte

      by

      TYSON FURY hilariously corrected Good Morning Britain host Ben Sheppard on the amount of fans who attended his last fight. The heavyweight star sold a UK record 94,000 tickets for his sixth-round knockout against Dillian Whyte in April.

      Sheppard told Fury live on air: “So I was at your last fight at Wembley it was an extraordinary experience, I can’t imagine what it would have been like for you, 80,000 people in that stadium…
      But the Gypsy King quickly interrupted: “94,000 Ben, 94,000.”
      Sheppard apologised: “Sorry, 94,000.
      “I think the capacity for football games is 80,000 but of course, obviously everyone was on the pitch, there were seats on the pitch.”

      Fury, 34, marks his return on December 3 in what is set to be a similar sell out at Tottenham’s 62,000-seat stadium.
      And he does so against Derek Chisora, 38, the man he previously beat in 2011 and 2014.

      Fury said: “Very excited to get back in the ring, the last fight was in April so it’s been quite a while and I’m really looking forward to getting in there and getting an early Christmas present.”
      The WBC champion’s boxing career was in doubt after he announced his retirement following victory over Whyte, 34.

      But after three shorts months, Fury realised the gap the sport left could not be filled.
      He said: “I needed a good rest after being in boxing for such a long time and I wanted to spend some time with the family and do the stuff at home.
      “And I did that for three or four months and I realised, I miss what I do. I missed fighting, I missed training, I missed gearing up for a big event.”

      The ex-heavyweight king’s head slumped down as he nodded off when Morgan and fellow presenter Susanna Reid questioned him on Good Morning Britain in November 2020.

      And quizzed by Morgan again this week on Talk TV, he explained his previous dozy behaviour.
      Morgan pointed out the Brooklyn bruiser looked much more “perky” now.

      “I received some painkillers from my wife and after I received these painkillers I was just incapable of articulating anything.
