      by

      And the 30-year-old admitted it contrasted with Fury, known to show off whacky suits and shoes.
      When asked: ‘Which celebrity that you’ve met has the worst fashion sense?’ the Capital team suggest Fury, pointing to his alligator sofas.
      But Joshua responded: “Oh! Mate, let’s not even. Is he even a celebrity?”
      He continues: “He needs to come to BOSS, ASAP.

      “He needs to come to BOSS, get some tailoring done, you know what I mean, get some custom made pieces, I promise you.
      “They said David Haye used to wear the worst suits and now, he’s passed the baton over to Tyson Fury.
      “So right now we’re saying Tyson Fury.”
      Joshua’s light-hearted jibe was echoed by Ricky Hatton, who mocked Fury for overtaking Haye as worse dressed heavyweight.

      Daniel Dubois vs Joe Joyce clash pushed back a month to November in bid to fill O2 Arena with fans

      by

      DANIEL DUBOIS’ heavyweight clash with Joe Joyce is set to be delayed until mid-November.
      Promoter Frank Warren had initially eyed October 24 for the Battle of Britain spectacular.

      But talks with Government officials have indicated a date in November would be more suitable for allowing fans into the O2 Arena.
      November 14 and 21 are the new dates being considered as trials to allow fans back into sporting events continue.
      Test events to reintroduce spectators have included cricket, football and rugby matches with boxing so far reduced to behind closed doors.
      Matchroom even resorted to staging Dillian Whyte’s fight with Alexander Povetkin in the garden of Eddie Hearn’s HQ.

      Warren this week pointed towards an October date for Dubois versus Joyce but SunSport understands the situation is changing quickly.
      The Queensberry promoter, 68, said: “Lockdown has meant a delay, but we all want the fight to take place in October and we are hopeful that the government will give us the all-clear.

      “What a position the winner will be in. They will be nailed on for a world title shot in 2021.”
      Given the delay, prodigal talent Dubois, 22, and former Olympic medallist Joyce, 34, have each taken part in warm-up fights.

      Dutchman Ricardo Snijders was dispatched with ease by the younger of the pair last month.
      In July, Joyce secured an early knockout of his own in the defeat of Michael Wallisch.

      It is clear Dubois has his sights set on heavyweight boxing’s grandees – should he get past Joyce.
      Whyte’s surprise defeat to Povetkin, coupled with Anthony Joshua’s increased vulnerability, has boosted the Greenwich fighter’s confidence.
      He told SunSport last month: “Seeing older targets and potential opponents lose – in very good and hard fights – only makes me more confident I can take over soon.”

      Did Anthony Joshua really beat up Tyson Fury over three rounds? Boxing rivals recall sparring session together

      by

      LAST year, rivals Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury had agreed to spar each other – and it would not have been the first time, either.
      Joshua, 30, told the Gypsy King, 32, he would help him prepare to face Deontay Wilder by becoming one of his sparring partners.

      AJ’s proposition was accepted by Fury who would “love” to have AJ in his training camp – but it never happened.
      Now the two are in line to fight for real in an all-British unification fight.
      It comes after the heavyweight champions verbally agreed to a two-fight deal for next year. 
      Joshua and Fury have shared the ring before, in 2010, when the Gypsy King was 22 and preparing to face Derek Chisora for the first time – with Joshua a 20-year-old amateur.

      Soon after their spar, in a candid interview with journalist Steve Bunce, Fury admitted Joshua “gave me a beating” for three rounds – and predicted the unified champion’s future stardom.
      He said: “He’s very good. To be honest with you, I thought to myself ‘I’m only going to take it easy as he’s an amateur and we probably won’t spar again if I go mad.
      “He’s rushed out at me he threw a one-two and left-hook and I slipped, slipped and I thought he’s not very good I’m going to take my time.
      “Then bash, he hits me with a big uppercut right on the point of the chin – if I had a bit of a weak chin like David Price I would’ve been knocked out for a month.

      “He’s very, very good and only young, 20, watch out for that name Anthony Joshua he is one prospect for the future.
      “He came out at me for three rounds and he gave me a beating – I’m not going to deny it, he gave me hell for leather.
      “For three rounds I thought ‘Oh my god, an amateur is killing me’.
      “Being a professional, and I’ve been an amateur myself and fought all over the world, I slowed him down a bit with a few good body shots.
      “The kid’s only 20, and I’m a handful myself, so for him to put up a good performance like that against a top prospect in me, I think he’s one for the future.”
      AJ explained: “I was just in the gym to avoid getting punched if I was found guilty for one of my court cases.

      “Tyson Fury came down, my coach told me this was the guy from the paper and if he is knocked out, you get a Rolex watch.
      “I wasn’t even in to Rolex watches back then, I was rocking Casios!
      “I was young and we just went to war really. He’s a gypsy warrior, hungry and that’s it – just a good, all out heavyweight sparring session.”
      It seems Fury himself had a change of heart about what happened ten years ago.

      Speaking to Showtime before he drew against Wilder, the Manchester slickster maintained Joshua had success in the early rounds, but was left squealing from body shots later on.
      Fury said: “We’ve had a spar before – amateur boxer he was at the time – he had a good couple of rounds then I started hitting him round the body.

      He came out at me for three rounds and he gave me a beating – I’m not going to deny it, he gave me hell for leather.

      “He was lifting his legs up in the corner, there were 10 people in the gym who saw it.
      “I’m there with my hands down, he’s coming forward with big swings, how’s he going to hit me? I said go on then, put one on me, I’ll stand still.”
      Fury even claims he offered to have a street fight with AJ – but the Watford ace “s*** himself”.
      He revealed: “He seems pretty spirited, doesn’t he?
      “But when I stood face-to-face to him and said, ‘Do you want to get outside?’ His a*** started flapping.
      “He s*** himself.

      “It doesn’t matter what weight I was at the time, I wasn’t in shape, but I’d have took him outside and kicked his c*** right in for him.
      “If a man said that to me – I don’t care if I was unfit or not – he’d be outside and punches. We’d have had to have a fight. Simple.
      “But I said that to him and he didn’t want to know.”

      Dillian Whyte shares training video as he aims to avenge shock Alexander Povetkin KO in rematch

      by

      DILLIAN WHYTE is already back in the gym working on avenging his shock loss to Alexander Povetkin.
      The Brit was floored and put out for the count courtesy of a devastating knockout blow by the 41-year-old last month.

      It was a stunning upset on the final show of Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Fight Camp in his back garden.
      Whyte immediately requested a rematch, which is likely to happen in November or December.
      And he is already working towards gaining revenge against the Russian.
      Matchroom shared a clip of the Body Snatcher working on the bag as he waits for his day of destiny to be confirmed.

      The 32-year-old recently hit out at criticism he received from boxers, boxing experts and Twitter trolls after the shock loss.

      One name he dropped was former heavyweight world champ Ruiz Jr.
      And his newly-acquired trainer Dave Coldwell launched an impassioned defence of the Brixton brawler, saying he has “bigger b***s” than the trolls.
      But Ruiz Jr, who stunned Anthony Joshua to win the WBO, WBA and IBF heavyweight belts back in June 2019 before losing the rematch six months later, has slammed Whyte’s reaction.

      The two have previous beef, with Whyte scoffing at Ruiz Jr’s boxing skills and battle with his weight.
      Posting on Twitter, Ruiz wrote: “Stop playing the “victim” card bro.”

      But Whyte pulled no punches with his response, saying: “Andy Ruiz is glad that he don’t have to fight me.
      “He’s glad the only battle he’s got now is just with diabetes.
      “I’m not on him anymore, he’s glad. Diabetes he can overcome, but he can’t overcome me.”

      Inside Mike Tyson’s former mansion for sale for £7m with pool, gym, cinema and games room with boxing memorabilia

      by

      MIKE TYSON’S former Maryland mansion is on the market after his ex-wife Monica Turner put the massive estate up for sale for a massive $9.4million (£7m)
      The vast property – in which Tyson once lost his pet tiger – comes with seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a large gym, a game room, a swimming pool, sports courts, and a piano room.

      Agent Daniel Heider has listed the massive mansion on The Tyson Estate website, which gives details about the home.
      Tyson – who now owns and runs his own cannabis empire – bought the Bethesda mansion with Turner in 1995.
      The heavyweight – who is making a comeback aged 54 by fighting Roy Jones Jr – lived there into the 2000’s until the two divorced after she claimed the boxing legend committed adultery.
      Turner won the house in the divorce settlement that was finalized in 2003.

      The mansion spans 19,000 square-feet with updated interior including an entertainment area, a gourmet kitchen and fully-equipped butler’s pantry.
      The estate also includes an elevator that serves all three floors, an amazing three-storey spiral staircase, and a handcrafted cherry wood-paneled library with a wet bar and fireplace.
      There’s also  a heated pool complete with a bubbling spa, tennis court, sauna, steam shower, changing room, billiards room, media room and a bar.

      According to the Wall Street Journal, Turner now wants to sell the residence as her youngest child has just graduated college and she doesn’t need so much space.

      The estate, which is located just 30 minutes out of Washington DC, overlooks the Congressional Country Club gold course, which has hosted several US Open tournaments.
      The house was home to the couple’s white pet tiger, which Tyson and Turner called Kenya.
      She said they lost the cub once before finding it in their neighbour’s garden.
      “The neighbor yelled over, ‘I think you may have lost your dog,’” Turner recalled.

      Tyson has been married three times: first to Robin Givens from 1988-1989, then to Turner, before he ties the knot with Lakiha Spicer in 2009, 12 days after the death of his four-year-old daughter, Exodus.
      At the prime of his boxing career, Tyson was worth a mind-blowing $685million before he blew it all.
      In 2020, Tyson’s reported net worth is said to be $3million. More

      Tyson Fury fight with WWE champ Drew McIntyre would break box office records as chief Triple H urges boxer to ring him

      by

      TYSON FURY’S fight with WWE champion Drew McIntyre has been tipped to break box office records as Triple H urged the Gypsy King to call him.
      The heavyweight duo were first linked with a mega wrestling showdown after McIntyre became WWE king in April.

      Scot McIntyre, 35, defeated Brock Lesnar to claim the crown.
      And he soon called out Fury for a ‘Battle of Britain’ showdown.
      Fury, 32, is no stranger to wrestling having made a high-profile cameo when he beat Braun Strowman at the WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia last October.
      Then at the weekend the WBC belt holder Fury released a video on social media calling out McIntyre for that fight.

      Another post on Tuesday followed and suddenly the possibility of Fury stepping back into wrestling was another step closer – before or after his trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder.
      So after Fury’s Twitter posts, Triple H told Fury it was simple – if he wanted to fight he just needs to give WWE’s executive vice president a call.
      Triple H said: “We could make Drew McIntyre v Tyson Fury work out, Tyson has got my number – we will make a call.
      “Tyson Fury is one of those fighters that sometimes now finds himself in a position where, does Anthony Joshua want to fight him?

      “Does Deontay Wilder want the rematch? Because he has proven to be maybe next-level from everybody.

      “If you are able to make a super-fight, a mega-fight like a WWE champion Drew McIntyre, like a world champion in Tyson Fury in boxing, I think we sell out massive stadiums, do record global box office business and that is what is all about – so my phone is on.”
      Fury drew in huge numbers for his WWE win over Strowman last year.
      And it also earned the 6ft 9ins giant a whopping £11.9million.
      Asked what Fury adds to wrestling, Triple H continued: “He brings different eyeballs in.
      “When someone like Tyson Fury comes in, he brings a sport aspect to this, he brings a boxing world championship and a popularity in something totally different that helps eyeballs across the board.
      “We gave him a platform to be the entertainer that he was born to be, sometimes he has that in boxing but the platform at that level for the entertainment pieces isn’t as big.
      “It is a win-win for both, Tyson is one of the most professional people I have ever worked with across the board – I spent a lot of time with him a few years ago and I would love to have him back.”

      Fury hit the headlines again last night as he once again called out Anthony Joshua telling him to: “Grow a pair.”
      He delivered the brutal blow after watching Daniel Dubois’ second-round takedown of Dutchman Ricardo Snijders.
      Boxing fans, both at home and abroad, are eager for Fury and AJ to step in the ring together.
      But both men have other commitments first, with Fury’s Wilder clash and Joshua taking on mandatory IBF challenger Kubrat Pulev.
      However, AJ is yet to set a date for his bout after it was postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

      Fury said on BT Sport: “If Wilder doesn’t happen, let’s do Joshua in December. Let’s get it on. I’m ready to go now, I’d have fought him in that ring tonight. 
      “I’d still kick his a***, any time of the day. Hopefully they grow a pair and want to fight the Gypsy King. 
      “If I was in their position, I’d have had my chance at glory to go to America and fight Wilder. 
      “But they didn’t take it and I had to come out of retirement set about him a couple of times – take the No1 spot, take all the glory. 
      “He must be sitting down thinking ‘that could have been me’. But it wasn’t. It’s their own fault.

      “Grow a pair, come see the champ, and I’ll sort you all out. I’m just waiting here patiently. 
      “No fights on the horizon, training like a lunatic, running up mountains, I’ve become a human racehorse. 
      “I’m looking forward to all challenges, whatever they are bring them to the Gypsy King and I’ll deal with them, in exciting fashion.”

      Speaking directly to the camera in a passionate online video, Fury Snr said: “I’m looking at fighting Mike Tyson, how’s that?
      “Mike’s making a comeback.
      “I don’t value my life to 50 pence but let me tell you something, Mike Tyson is worth doing charity with.
      “He’s a proper king and a champion. He’s a proper man, tried and tested.”

      Fury Snr has been a long time admirer of Iron Mike and even named his son Tyson after the Baddest Man on the Planet.
      And the 6ft 3in Galway born man had a pro fighting career of his own – fighting 13 professional bouts.
      He also fought bare-knuckle fighting and claims he won £100,000 in one bout.

      Fury Snr also served four years of an 11-year sentence for gouging a man’s eye out in a sickening attack.

      He continued: “I’ll fight Mike Tyson, I know he mentions my boy’s name every five minutes so here I am.
      “John Fury is hiding from no man, not even the king of all men.
      “Mike Tyson, I will fight Mike Tyson.
      “Hear that then, I will not be denied, I will die in a fight.
      “I am as game as an American Yankee c*** and I will die before I give in.”

      Tyson has been inundated with offers since his return to training and yesterday bookies slashed the odds on him taking on New Zealand rugby ace Sonny Bill Williams.
      The former heavyweight champ was even offered a staggering £16.2million to make his comeback in a bare knuckle match since footage of him hitting pads went viral.
      Boxing fans were also praying for a Tyson vs Evander Holyfield III after Iron Mike’s former rival also came out of retirement.
