Both men have yet to receive the respective cuts of the pay-per-view buys, which will significantly top up their purses.

“I feel like I won the fight. I feel like Jake’s a great opponent. That’s why I came in great shape.
“The fact that one judge gave me two rounds is laughable.
“No disrespect, but f**k that [Tommy] Fury fight, me and Jake need to run that back”

Paul responded by saying: “Get the tattoo and we’ll run it back.
“We got the tattoo artist right here, so you ain’t going nowhere.
“Wipe the sweat off and shave that leg, because I’m f*g putting, ‘I love Jake Paul’ on your leg and we can run it back.”

TYSON FURY is pushing for his long-awaited undisputed heavyweight title fight with Anthony Joshua to take place in December.The WBC heavyweight champ was due to face AJ in Saudi Arabia last month but was ordered to have a trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder.

But Fury is eager to share the ring with his fellow Brit before the end of the year, provided they get through their respective bouts with Wilder and Oleksandr Usyk.
The Gypsy King’s dad, John, told GiveMeSport: “He’s trying to get Joshua in December.
“We’re going for that fight this year.
“Because we see Wilder as no threat at all once he’s done the camp right.
“If he’s done everything right to the letter, Wilder ain’t a problem, he’s got his number, beat him twice, beat him like a ragdoll, beat him to a pulp last time.
“Wilder has got nothing to offer him at all, only that big punch.

“And believe me, what I’m seeing in the new trainer, we know a lot about him as well, so we’ve got no fear at all.”
Fury, 32, ran through Wilder in their rematch last February, stopping him in the seventh round of their Sin City showdown.
But his old man insists he’s not overlooking The Bronze Bomber, adding: “He’s concentrating on Wilder first.
“AJ won’t even play a part in his mind at the moment because he’s thinking about Wilder.
“But yeah, get him out the way, AJ here we come!”
Fan favourite Fury hasn’t set foot inside the ring since his spectacular dethroning of Wilder, who has hired a new head coach ahead of their third clash.
John doesn’t foresee the outcome being any different, so much so he’s planning for his son to have a short break after the fight before resuming preparations for AJ.

The 57-year-old said: “He’s been inactive (Tyson), but so has Wilder, they’ve both done nothing for two years.
“But I see Tyson with a mindset he’s got today, knocking him out within four rounds.
“I mean, KO’ing him this time properly, getting the job done where there is no arguments at all, flat out on his back.
“And then when that’s happened out the way, few weeks rest, on to Joshua.”
Fury may have set his sights on a December dust-up with Joshua, but promoter Eddie Hearn doesn’t foresee the fight happening until ‘January or February’ 2022 at the earliest.
He told iFL TV: “I think that was pretty much the case anyway.
“But fighting September 25, it’s very difficult to do a fight in December.

“And a lot of our conversations now about the undisputed fight are end of Jan, February.
“So it probably helps. Fury might’ve wanted to do another fight in November or December.
“And then the whole thing is, like, never-ending.”

Tyson Fury taunts ‘big bodybuilder’ Anthony Joshua by joking ‘I’m s***ting myself’ amid claims he’s dodging fight More

ANTHONY JOSHUA’S slimline figure for the upcoming Oleksandr Usyk fight is thanks to him ditching the dumbbells.Watford’s WBA, IBF and WBO champ felt too heavy and muscle-bound for the iconic Wembley KO of Wladimir Klitschko (17st.12lbs) and follow-up win over Carlos Takam (18st 2lbs), both in 2018.

Joshua has transformed his body since the fight against Vladimir Klitschko in 2018
And he has since controlled and adapted his weight to cater for differing opponents like Joseph Parker, Alexander Povetkin and the Andy Ruiz double.
Ahead of the September 25 defence against the former undisputed cruiserweight champ, AJ has confirmed he is extra trim for the ex-14st 4lbs boss and Team AJ physio Rob Madden has revealed the secret to his transformation.
Pulseroll ambassador Madden told SunSport: “The weight is always a team decision and effort but I think it has been more of a training adjustment than anything else.
“There is a lot less weight lifting and strength work, he actually gets a lot of his bulk just from boxing itself.
“If you look at his biceps and shoulders, a lot of that comes from the heavy bag and the amount of boxing he does.
“The weight always depends on the opponent, he felt really fresh and fit at the Ruiz 2 (16st 13lbs) and Pulev (17st 2lbs) weights, without sacrificing his power as a natural asset.

“Going into the Usyk fight, you can see now that he is leaner than how heavy he was from Klitschko because he learned how heavy that feels and he personally prefers to hover a bit lower than that.”
Ukraine’s 34-year-old southpaw superstar has struggled to bulk up while maintaining his speed and reflexes and missed his 16st target last time out in October against Derek Chisora by 7lbs.
So it looks like AJ will be four inches taller, enjoying a 4in reach advantage and at least a stone heavier when they lock horns at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
Madden said: “Usyk is a fantastic boxer and the team has nothing but respect for him, he will get all of our focus and discipline, he was a phenomenal cruiserweight.
“But AJ is going to have a lot of advantages on him, especially things like power and strength in any clinches.
“AJ is already in a league of his own for that and against somebody lighter he will be even more dominant.”
AJ has shared photos of his training regime on Instagram
The world champ prefers a lighter build but will still retain a height, reach and weight advantage over Usyk
Madden, a long-time member of the close-knit AJ team, confirms everyone in the Sheffield-based camp was convinced the undisputed Tyson Fury clash was going to happen this summer.
And there was a lingering hangover that hit the whole group when the WBC champ was ordered into a third fight with Deontay Wilder instead, that the vastly different Usyk challenge has helped lift.
“I won’t go into it all but it was a disappointment and a headache for everyone because we were talking about it happening just before the legal case was settled,” Madden confirmed.
“There was a real shock that Wilder vs Fury was ordered to happen because we genuinely thought the fight was going to happen.
“It was a weird little patch because he had that focus and then it went. With Usyk we know he is great and needs to be respected and prepared for so that focus is back and it’s total heads down and all eyes are on him.”

A BOXER is in critical but stable condition after she was knocked out by her opponent during an event in Montreal on Saturday evening.Jeanette Zacarias Zapata, 18, was stopped by Marie-Pier Houle before collapsing to the floor moments later and being hospitalised.
Zapata was hit several times towards the end of the fourth round
The teenager was standing when the referee called time on the fight
But Zapata collapsed seconds later and is now in a critical condition
Zapata was taking part in her sixth professional bout at the GYM Gala Boxing event in Canada.
The teenager was hit several times by Canadian boxer Houle towards the end of the fourth round and was hanging on to the ropes as the bell rang.
The referee immediately went over to Zapata to check on her condition and ended the fight seconds later – initially as a precautionary measure.
Although it was clear the Mexican star couldn’t continue, she was still on her feet at this stage as Houle started celebrating her TKO victory.
But just moments later, Zapata began having convulsions before her trainer Jovanni Martinez laid her down on the ring.
She was hospitalised and placed in a medically induced coma, with doctors describing her condition as critical but stable.

Event organiser Yvon Michel told Global News: “She didn’t regain consciousness.
“She was sedated in order to rest her body and her brain.
“The doctors didn’t give her much of a chance [to get out] initially, but they find her situation has improved a lot.
“The next two to five days will be critical and she will be kept sedated for that period.
I only realised the magnitude of the situation after seeing her. I wish it had happened to me instead of Jeanette; I am frustrated.Jovanni Martinez
“The next six weeks will then be critical in determining if there is damage and how much damage it has.”
Opponent Houle added: “This is not the thing you want to see.
“I was definitely going for the knockout, but I would have preferred her to come out on her feet, not lying on a stretcher.
“We’re keeping our fingers crossed that everything goes well.”
