    Fans all saying the same thing as Anthony Joshua’s ex-coach shares footage of AJ showing ‘raw aggression’ in training

    ANTHONY JOSHUA has been urged to return to his old coach Tony Sims after training footage of the pair was shared. AJ turned professional in 2013 with Sims and just three years later the heavyweight won the IBF title.

    Sims continued as head trainer up until 2016 when Joshua knocked out Dominic Breazeale.
    But in his next fight, against Erik Molina, AJ linked up with his former amateur coach Rob McCracken.
    Sims would then take an assistant role in the corner before departing from Joshua’s camp in 2019 before a shock loss to Andy Ruiz Jr.
    The British superstar, 32, most recently fell to defeat against Oleksandr Usyk, 35, his second to the Ukrainian in 11 months.

    But before the Saudi Arabia rematch, he parted ways with McCracken and hired American mastermind Robert Garcia.
    Joshua is now on the comeback trail and eyeing a return in December amid surprise talks with Tyson Fury, 34.

    And after Sims posted throwback footage training with AJ, fans and even Brit boxing legend Nigel Benn called for the two to reunite.
    Benn said: “It would be so good to see you guys working together again, you got history.”

    Another added: “I’ve said it so many times. I believe he needs to go back with you. Get that raw aggression back.”
    One said: “The link up that needs to be reunited.”
    Another commented: “Get the dream team back together.”

    Tyson Fury’s amazing £1.7million Morecambe mansion – with gold curtains and radiators and a red marble kitchen

    IT is a home fit for the Gypsy King.Back in 2020, Tyson Fury upgraded from his £550,000 abode to a stunning £1.7million home in Morecambe.
    Tyson and Paris Fury live in a £1.7m home in Morecambe
    The elaborate property cost the boxer a reported £1.7m
    And the heavyweight champ, 33, known for his love of flashy cars, has given glam wife Paris free rein to decorate.
    Clearly crafted with an open cheque book, the mansion has gold curtains and radiators throughout.
    There are huge chandeliers dangling from the ceilings, and the kitchen is decked out in red marble.
    It’s no wonder Fury, who has amassed a net worth believed to be over £100million, says he’s retiring and wants to put his feet up in his huge house.

    Sneak peek
    It’s missus Paris, 32, who often gives us a glimpse into her fab property.
    On Instagram, she regularly shares snaps in different rooms – dressed head-to-toe in designer clobber.
    One photo showed the blonde clutching a Chanel handbag while stood in front of a set of ornate gold curtains.

    In another, the beauty is surrounded by family in her kitchen – sipping a coffee and laughing.
    Behind her, red-topped marble decorates the surfaces. And there’s also a silver chandelier, fit for a queen, hanging from the ceiling.
    In the hallway, Paris – wearing a patterned blouse – leans on a gold radiator that’s clearly a statement piece. Next to her is an outstanding floor to ceiling mirror.
    For the musical, underneath the wood staircase is a grand black piano that sits on marble flooring.
    Height of luxury
    The Furys don’t skimp when it comes to high-end luxury.
    Tyson practically lives in a set of £390 Versace gowns, while Paris is a huge fan of the Italian fashion brand.
    Paris told us her favourite part of the house was her walk-in wardrobe.
    Paris Fury regularly shares images of the home on social media
    Sweeping gold curtains adorn the property
    A lavish gold radiator and and grand piano can be seen in the hallway
    “Having this walk-in wardrobe was a big dream of mine. I got it and I do appreciate it,” she said.
    Incredibly, it houses her mega shoe collection that’s worth an estimated £50,000.
    And they are certainly proud of their digs – keeping on top of housekeeping in-between looking after their six children.
    Paris once described Tyson as ‘a bit of a clean freak’, so you can bet you won’t find a spec of dust anywhere.
    Plot twist
    According to land registry records, Fury bought the property for £1.695million in December 2020.
    It was paid for by their firm Tyson Fury Ltd, and is mortage-free.
    The kitchen boasts hanging chandeliers and red-topped marble kitchen counters

    The Furys have six children
    They used to live in a £550,000 house that overlooked Morecambe Bay, before moving to a new plot that was once home to a static caravan-style.
    However, the previous owner had it demolished and replaced it with a stone-clad palace – complete with a water fountain on the driveway.
    In terms of security, the property has a castellated front wall, and a wrought-iron black and gold fence. Of course, that boasts its own lavish decor – with lion motifs and four eagle sculptures on the gate posts.
    Unwanted burglars are warned off by signs that reveal the home is guarded by CCTV.
    Tyson Fury has previously boasted about having an expensive property portfolio.
    He once revealed he had bought a mansion in Marbella for £6million, although that was never confirmed.
    While last year, he claimed to have splashed the cash on a home in Las Vegas, which again was never substantiated.
    But Fury’s love affair with Morecambe knows no bounds.
    He recently agreed to sponsor League One side Morecambe FC. And he appeared at the nearby Sultan of Lancaster Experience restaurant where he cut the red ribbon to open the establishment.
    Glam Paris is the height of fashion and the decor in her home reflects that
    For Fury there’s no place like home More

    The Gypsy King doesn’t reckon Usyk would have the same success as he did against Anthony Joshua if he took on American heavyweight WilderCredit: Getty
    That’s despite Usyk beating Anthony Joshua twice in the last year, and currently holding the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO world titles.
    The Ukrainian also won the Ring heavyweight belt that Fury vacated after claiming he was retired following his April win against Dillian Whyte.
    Wilder, 36, has not fought since being knocked out by Fury in their trilogy fight in October 2021.
    But Fury told RingTV: “I think Usyk would be awkward for Wilder for the first three or four rounds but Usyk slows down. We’ve seen him slow down.

    “We’ve seen Joshua land on him and hurt him. Wilder would land one punch on him and it would be over by the fifth round.
    “Maybe Usyk can outbox him for up to 10 rounds, but in a 12-round fight you’re gonna get hit.”
    Fury went on to praise Wilder for his punching power, saying: “I don’t care if you’re the slickest man alive.
    “As soon as Wilder lands on any of them, goodbye forever.”

    Wilder is set to return to action on October 15 against Robert Helenius, almost exactly a year to the day since he was last beaten by Fury.
    The Gypsy King meanwhile is targeting an epic Battle of Britain showdown with Joshua for the end of this year.
    WBC champ Fury then wants to an undisputed fight with Usyk early next year. More

    The fight – which takes place at London’s O2 Arena to headline an historic all-female card – has been 10 YEARS in the making.
    Marshall has knocked out 10 of her 12 opponents in the pro ranks and is arguably the most powerful puncher in women’s boxing.
    But she has admitted that hasn’t always been the case as she recalls sparring with Tyson Fury’s brother in an eye-opening intro to pro boxing.
    Marshall said: “Before I flew out to Vegas for my debut, I was on the phone to Sam Jones and I said ‘I’ve never actually been in a pro gym’.
    READ MORE ON BOXING
    “He said, ‘I’m looking after Joe Joyce at the minute and he’s sparring Hughie Fury in Bolton and his dad Peter has said you’re more than welcome to come down and he’ll show you bits and bobs and help get you started for your debut’.
    “I didn’t know anything about Peter, I knew he was Tyson’s uncle and knew that Tyson had become heavyweight champion, that’s all I knew. I went down to meet Peter and he was really nice and welcoming.
    “I remember him saying ‘do you want to spar?’, I said ‘ahh yeah go on then’. Tommy Fury was there and I remember Peter saying ‘you do not lay a glove on her, do not touch her, I want you working on defence’.
    “I put my gloves on and thought ‘I’m going to batter you’ but I could not lay a glove on him, that was my introduction to pro boxing.”
    Most read in Boxing
    “I remember thinking ‘wow, this is just a totally different dance.
    “I went away and the next day I got a call off Sam saying ‘Peter said you’re more than welcome to come down and he’ll train you for your full camp’.
    “During that camp, Peter the philosopher that he is every now again would say ‘you just watch yourself in America, because this pro boxing is not what you think you know’.
    “Every now and again he’d drop it again ‘this pro boxing is a dirty business you know?’. Even back then he was prepping me going ‘it’s not all Lamborghinis’ and it wasn’t.”
    All four major belts will be awarded on one of the middleweights on Saturday night in this hotly anticipated bout.
    Marshall is the only fighter to ever beat Shields – by securing a decision win when the two fought as amateurs in 2012. More
