      Tommy Fury gained THREE STONE after binging on £300 of cheesecake plus pizzas and burgers following Jake Paul win

      by

      TOMMY FURY gained THREE STONE after binging on £300 worth of cheesecake plus pizzas and burgers following his win over Jake Paul. The former Love Islander ended two years of bitter feuding with YouTuber-turned boxer Paul in February.

      Fury weighed 184.5lb (13st 1lb) the night before his split-decision win in Saudi Arabia.
      And the reality TV star – believed to have made over £3MILLION for the fight – reaped the rewards of his pay-per-view victory.
      So much so that in an interview with The Times, it was revealed he went up three stone meaning he would have weighed over 16 STONE.
      But Fury explained that, having restricted himself to a diet during his training camp, he makes up for lost time after the bout.

      He said:  “My logic — and it’s terrible – is that between fights I try to cram as much c**p as I can into my body so that when I have to get back in shape I’m sick of junk food.”
      After beating Paul over eight rounds, he ate £300 worth of cheesecake while gorging on pizzas, burgers and milkshakes.
      He added: “Everything that was bad for you, it was in that hotel room that night.”
      Fury, 24, returned from the Middle East with bragging rights, his reputation and unbeaten record intact.

      And after handing Paul, 26, a first defeat, he saved his own boxing career in the process.
      Fury admitted: “Hand on heart, 100 per cent. I wouldn’t even be able to show my face in public for a long time.
      “I’ve been boxing all my life and then I lose to a YouTuber? That would have been the biggest joke.”
      Fury now goes into a second consecutive celebrity boxing blockbuster next Saturday in Manchester.
      This time, it will come against Paul’s arch rival KSI, 30, who has five wins, one draw and a no-contest in the ring.
      It is claimed Fury will earn another £1.1m for the bout, which will be broadcast on DAZN PPV in both the UK and US.
      And despite the allure of a rematch with Paul or a fight against the American’s older brother Logan, 28, Fury insisted he must win a traditional boxing gold.
      He said: “For me to be truly satisfied, I have to get my hands on title belts.

      “I don’t want to sit in the rocking chair at 70 thinking I could have challenged for a world title, I could have been in contention.
      “I want my name to go down in history for ever.”

      The MMA fighter has even been hit with a restraining order after harassing his rival’s model partner by repeatedly posting photos of her online.
      The actions of Danis have led to fierce criticism, with many slating him for bringing his opponent’s loved one into it.
      However, former heavyweight world champ Joshua believes “anything is acceptable in the art of war”.
      When quizzed about it, AJ said: “I’ll be real, in this game of boxing, there are no rules.

      “The internet is undefeated. All of your information is out there at the end of the day.
      “What you put out there will always come around full circle.
      “Unfortunately, they are using this as a war tactic – and you’re at war. 
      “So there are no low blows and anything is acceptable in the art of war.”

      It emerged last month that Danish model Agdal, 31, had taken out a restraining order against Danis. 
      The order does not prevent the pair from being in the same place at once, but rather stops Danis from posting specific photos of Paul’s fiancee online.
      It is also said to restrict the American from posting any content depicting or portraying Agdal that was never meant to be shared publicly or was obtained without consent.
      But despite Danis’ attempts to upset Paul and his wife-to-be, the social media star has revealed that Agdal will still be coming to watch him fight next week.
      The Maverick, who is now also a WWE superstar, lost to KSI back in 2019 after previously drawing with the man who is now business partner.
      The Brit will be fighting alongside Paul this time as the Prime pair share the limelight in Manchester.
      KSI will face Tommy Fury, who is fresh off the back of silencing Logan Paul’s little brother Jake during their bout in February.

      Osimhen was subject to mockery from his own club as Napoli’s social media team called him a “coconut” in a TikTok video – widely seen as a racial slur.
      They taunted the Nigerian after he missed a penalty against Bologna – leading his agent to threaten legal action against the club.
      Osimhen then refused to take a penalty against Udinese and did not celebrate after scoring in the clash.
      Napoli boss Rudi Garcia decided to drop the forward against Lecce but insisted it was not because of the ongoing controversy.

      He told DAZN: “There has to be squad rotation, it is almost a third of the team that changed since the game with Udinese, so it’s natural to look to everyone, including those who come off the bench.
      “The extra-sport issue is not important, I prefer to talk about what happens on the field and Osimhen has scored four goals in six games. The rest will take care of itself.”
      Napoli responded to the threats of legal action by stating “no offence was intended” and the bizarre clips were meant to be “light-hearted”.
      A statement read: “Calcio Napoli, wishing to avoid any exploitation of the issue, point out that we never wanted to offend or mock Victor Osimhen, who is a treasure of this club.
      Most read in Football
      “As proof of that, during the summer training retreat, the Club firmly rebuffed every offer that was received for the striker’s transfer abroad.
      “Social media, in particular TikTok, has always used an expressive form of language with a light heart and creativity, without wanting to, as in the case with Osimhen as protagonist, have any intention of insult or derision.
      “In any case, if Victor perceived any offence towards him, this was not what the club intended.” More
