      And the celebrity boxing rivals went face-to-face for the very first time and were forced apart by security after a fiery exchange.
      Fury’s heavyweight champion brother Tyson, 34, was sat ringside at Wembley Arena, where Anthony Yarde was beaten by Artur Beterbiev in a thriller.
      And he warned his younger brother must change his name and stay in Saudi if he fails to secure bragging rights next month.
      But former child actor Paul, 26, warned it mounts massive pressure on the younger Fury as he vowed to bury the Love Islander’s boxing career in the desert.

      He said: “He’s going to get knocked out by a Disney star, plain and simple, that’s it.
      “You’ll see, you’ll see who the real professional boxer is. All these critics, all these people saying, ‘Fight a real boxer.’ Here we go.
      “Tommy has so much to lose, his family is going to disown him when I knock him the f*** out, plain and simple, that’s it.
      “Sorry Tyson, I love you but it’s over for your brother.”

      Fury, 23, has twice pulled out of fighting Paul, with a rib injury and then a US visa issue.
      The travel woe still persists today and as a result has brought the pair over to the Middle East.
      Paul has knocked out ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva in his 6-0 career.
      But 8-0 Fury will be the first opponent he has faced with a recognised professional boxing record.
      He told Paul: “I’ve beaten better people than you when I was 14 in the amateurs. I will school you. I’m not an MMA guy.
      “I was beating people better than you when I was 14, when you was messing about on Disney Channel, so don’t come round here pretending you’re about it when you’re not.”

      And Paul travelled to London to square up to Fury before Anthony Yarde’s light-heavyweight title challenge against Artur Beterbiev.
      The two went nose-to-nose, exchanging fiery words and had to be forced apart before tempers boiled over.
      Fury, 23, said: “Come 26th of February, this s***’s been going on too long, he’ll never box again.
      “I’m not 50, I ain’t 40, I ain’t an MMA guy, I’ve been doing this my whole life and I swear to God you’re finished come 26th of February.”

      Paul, 26, hit back: “He’s fought taxi drivers, he’s got no chin, it’s all a joke. I’m ending you February 26th and you already know it.
      “You’re going to crack under pressure, you’re not built for this moment. You’re an impostor, it’s all a bravado, it’s all fake confidence.”
      Fury has twice pulled out of fighting Paul, with a rib injury in December 2021 and then a US visa issue last August.
      The travel woe still persists today and as a result has brought the duo over to the Saudi desert.

      Fury has been warned by heavyweight champion brother to drop their famous surname and stay in the Middle East if he loses.
      And Paul jibed: “He’s going to get knocked out by a Disney star, plain and simple, that’s it.
      “You’ll see, you’ll see who the real professional boxer is. All these critics, all these people saying, ‘Fight a real boxer.’ Here we go.

      by

      And Hall of Famer Arum revealed a deal could be confirmed by next week with only a date and location to be finalised.
      The promoter is in London to watch Artur Beterbiev, 38, defend his unified light-heavyweight belts against Anthony Yarde, 31.
      And he took a seat ringside with Fury ahead of the WBC, IBF and WBO title fight, also reuniting with Derek Chisora, 38, who he beat in December.
      The Gypsy King is sure to have asked how negotiations are progressing for his historic unification.
      READ MORE IN boxing
      Saudi Arabia has emerged as a frontrunner to host the historic title fight with the boxers negotiating separate deals.
      Arum confirmed an agreement to fight is in place with the date and venue to be imminently announced.
      Arum told Sky Sports: “I think both of the fighters have agreed to the fight, I think the question is where the site will be. 
      “That will be sorted out hopefully next week and we’ll have an announcement shortly.

      “If the fight goes to the Middle East it will be sometime after Ramadan and if the fight is in the UK it will be the beginning of April.”
      Arum has refused to rule out Fury, 34, fighting Usyk, 35, on home soil at Wembley Stadium.
      But he admitted the prizefighters could be convinced over to the desert, where the most money can be made.
      Arum said: “It depends what the deals are and so forth.
      “There are a number of us that would prefer the fight to be in Wembley, but again it depends on the money.
      “The fighters have a very short limit of their careers and they have to make whatever money, particularly large amounts of money, because in a few years it’s not going to be available.
      “I just think it’s going to be a tremendous fight.”

      BOXER Kell Brook has been filmed snorting a line of white powder at a party in his home.Footage shows the former world champion bending over a glass-topped coffee table.
      Boxer Kell Brook has been filmed snorting a line of white powder in a party at his home
      Footage shows him snorting the substance through a roll-up from a glass coffee table
      Kell then appears worse for wears as he shadow boxes in front of a framed picture of him on the wall
      More white powder is heaped next to a plastic “wrap” and the star — nicknamed Special K — mumbles “nice”.
      The 36-year-old appears the worse for wear as he shadow boxes in front of a framed portrait of him having won the IBF welterweight title in 2014.
      Last night his manager Terry Thompson insisted it was “a joke”.
      Brook wore a T-shirt featuring boxing legend Joe Louis at the Sheffield party.

      A source said: “He had a bit of a gathering at his house where people were drinking spirits and smoking.
      “He was snorting white powder.”
      Wife Lindsey, 35, who was often seen in the ring after his fights, and their three children were believed to be away.
      Brook’s last bout was almost a year ago when he beat bitter rival Amir Khan — who in 2012 wrote on Twitter: “I’ve heard things about Kell Brook.
      Most read in Boxing
      “He’s been seen taking cocaine.
      “Boxing is a professional sport for those who have discipline and respect.”
      Brook announced his retirement in May after winning 40 of 43 professional fights.
      But he said recently he would return to the ring for the right offer.
      He has been touted as an opponent for light-middleweight Liam Smith who beat Chris Eubank Junior last weekend.
      Our source added: “Kell seems a bit lost without boxing, and it seems like it would be better for him if he made a comeback.
      “He seems to be surrounded by the wrong people, who are not a good influence on him.”
      Brook, who is pals with England and Manchester City footballer Kyle Walker, was brought up in a council house in Sheffield.
      He began boxing aged 12 and turned professional at 18 — quickly winning title belts.
      But he had problems outside the ring.
      In 2007 he was stabbed in the buttocks outside a nightclub in Sheffield.
      In 2014 he beat Shawn Porter in California to become IBF World Welterweight champion.
      But two weeks later he was slashed three times with a machete in Tenerife and needed 32 metal staples.
      In 2016 he lost a fight while suffering a broken eye socket.
      In 2020 he admitted suffering depression afterwards, recalling: “It ruined me.
      “It was a very dark time.
      “I needed counsellors, the lot.
      “Words can’t describe how low I’ve been.”
      Manager Mr Thompson said of the party clip: “This is a thing that has sort of got out of hand.
      “They were at his house, they were having a laugh.
      “They were joking about things.

      “He said to them, ‘Film me having a laugh’.”
      Asked if the powder was cocaine, he replied: “No.”

      Fury challenged the Cameroonian to a hybrid bout, in the cage with 4oz gloves on but under boxing rules.
      And Ngannou, 36, is ready to accept, insisting the time is right to pit the heavyweight stars against each other.
      He told Canal Afrique: “The next step could be that but, once again, everything has to be finalised.
      “Let me remind you that Tyson Fury and I have been warming up on social media for more than two years.

      “Obviously we all need this fight. It’s been long enough. Hopefully we have the possibility of dotting the i’s.”
      Fury, 34, is currently in talks over the heavyweight division’s first four-belt undisputed title decider with Oleksandr Usyk.
      But he warned attention will turn to a blockbuster crossover fight with Ngannou if terms for the historic unification are not met.
      Fury said to Seconds Out: “Francis Ngannou, I know you’re out of contract with the UFC. You want to earn some big boy money?

      “Let’s kick it up spicy, in a cage, four-ounce gloves under Queensbury [rules] and let’s have a badass referee like Iron Mike Tyson.
      “Did I just sell that to the world? If the contract doesn’t get signed with Usyk next for the fight of the century in boxing then we’ll do the Ngannou fight.”
