    Tommy Fury’s dad John says KSI must APOLOGISE to have any chance of rematch and provides update on talks with Jake Paul

    He first edged past Paul via split-decision last February in Saudi Arabia before moving onto a mega-fight with KSI.
    But the build-up was marred in bitterness and KSI even spat gum at John during an open workout.
    Son Tommy went onto win a controversial six-round decision but still tension remains between the two camps.
    John told the Daily Mail, via Free Bets: “We’re not interested in KSI. Not for a trillion dollars.

    “Unless he comes up with an apology and decides to be a man, we want no part of it.
    “He lost to Tommy on his own show. I know he’s aged about 10 or 15 years because of it. People like him, their egos are so big they just can’t move on from it.
    “That will be his downfall. He needs to look in the mirror and take some lessons off real men on how to be one. You can’t disrespect people think you’re it.
    “At the end of the day, up until the spitting job, up until the BS, he was doing a great job. Him and Logan Paul.

    “But, at the end of the day, Pauls are a different class to him. They’re not spitting at people. They are having verbal disagreements. That’s all part of the game.
    “Spitting at people is a reptiles job. That’s something the scum of the earth does.
    “I am no posh person, I am probably one step off the bottom but I don’t spit at people. I don’t disrespect people in that way.
    “It becomes hatred and no one can do their job properly then.”
    KSI, 30, announced he would take time out from boxing following his first loss but has since revealed he will fight again this year.
    Meanwhile Fury, 24, has undergone hand surgery for an injury in which he said has hampered him for four years.
    Paul, 27, bounced back from his defeat with two wins and returns on March 2 on the undercard of Amanda Serrano’s Puerto Rico homecoming.
    But he revealed talks with the Fury family are back underway.
    And John added: “We spoke to them about six weeks ago and we’ve not heard anything since.

    “I’m not sure what is going on behind the scenes. But, the buck stops with me. Right here.

    He has bounced back with two wins and revealed negotiations are going on behind the scenes for a rematch.
    But Paul claimed the Furys were only interested in raising the payday figure and questioned if they were purposely pricing themselves out.
    John has now hit back to deny that the phone call was a heated one but insisted his son should stand to make more the second time around.
    He told the Daily Mail, via Free Bets: “I’m at a loss to know what that heated conversation was. I thought we spoke and had a nice, intelligent conversation.

    “So, I don’t know where all this c**p is coming from. There was never a heated conversation, nothing like that. 
    “I thought it went quite well so I don’t understand what people are having their tuppence about because that just wasn’t the case.
    “Both sides were very respectful. I knew what we want and they know what they want so we just have to meet in the middle somewhere. I’m sure that can be achieved. 
    “You’re going to hear all that second guessing, second hand information and people putting their ten pence in.

    “It’s all clickbait rubbish. We had a meeting and it went very well for our first chat. 
    “I think the Pauls are doing an excellent job at what they do, but so are we. Don’t forget, we are the victors here. We are the ones in charge.
    “We are in the driving seat. They got the best of it last time, so it’s up to me as Tommy’s representative and father, that we get the best of it this time. I’m sure we will.”
    Paul beat ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, on points and knocked out American boxer Andre August, 35, since suffering his first defeat.
    The 27-year-old now returns on March 2 on the undercard of Amanda Serrano’s Puerto Rico homecoming with an opponent yet to be announced.
    Fury, 24, has also not returned since beating Paul’s arch YouTube rival KSI, 30, via controversial decision in October.
    And talks have since cooled with Paul, as John said: “We spoke to them about six weeks ago and we’ve not heard anything since.
    “I’m not sure what is going on behind the scenes. But, the buck stops with me. Right here.
    “People can say what they want and do what they want, but the bottom line is that it has to go through me and Tommy.”

    Georgina firstly stunned at the star-studded Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai last week as she posed in a lace mini dress.
    That was when she accompanied her Al-Nassr forward fella Ronaldo as he won the Fans’ Favourite Player of the Year award at the do.
    But she took centre stage last night in a sparkling Lena Bena Berisha dress back in Saudi Arabia.
    Georgina matched her outfit with a glamorous diamond necklace, black gloves and heels at the Joy Awards, which is part of Riyadh Season and hosted by the GEA.

    It is in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 and has been billed as the largest celebration of entertainment creators in the Arab world.
    But it was Georgina’s followers that were celebrating her glitz and glamour after she posted a number of snaps of herself at the bash.
    Along with a love heart and star emoji, she captioned them with: “What a magical night at the #JoyAwards.”
    One of her 56.1 million followers replied by telling her that she was “on fire” as another called her “stunning”.

    Another admirer asked: “Why are u so beautiful?”
    “You shine like a real diamond,” commented another fan.
    A fifth said they were “speechless” after viewing the snaps while a sixth said that she looked “so eloquent”.
    And a seventh even declared: “Ronaldo is one lucky man!”
    Meanwhile, Georgina’s man has claimed that awards are “losing credibility” after being snubbed by the Ballon d’Or and Fifa’s The Best.
    The 38-year-old former Manchester United star left top level football to join Al-Nassr 12 months ago.
    He has scored 54 goals since then but he was still not named on the 30-man shortlist for the Ballon d’Or, which was won for an eighth time by rival Lionel Messi.
    Ronaldo also failed to make The Best awards’ men’s player of the year shortlist but he did collect two other prizes at the Globe Soccer Awards as he added Best Middle East Player and Best Goal Scorer gongs to the fan one.
    But he took aim at his Ballon d’Or and Best Awards snubs by saying: “I think that, in a way, these awards are losing credibility. We have to analyse the entire season.
    “It’s not to say that Messi didn’t deserve it, or Haaland or even Mbappe. I simply no longer believe in these awards.

    “And it’s not because I won at Globe Soccer. But there are facts, there are numbers. And the numbers don’t deceive.
    “They can’t take this trophy away from me because it’s a reality. So it makes me even happier, because the numbers are facts.”

    Jake Paul faces losing over ONE STONE to secure KSI fight as Brit YouTuber’s manager refuses to budge on contract terms

    JAKE PAUL faces losing over ONE STONE in weight if he is to meet KSI’s demands for a blockbuster grudge match. The pair of YouTube superstars-turned boxers have rivalled each other throughout their careers but are yet to settle it in the ring.

    And the latest sticking point in talks between the two camps is a disagreement in weight.
    Paul has campaigned from 185lb but his last bout – a knockout over boxer Andre August – was at the 200lb limit
    Whereas KSI was last at a 183lb catchweight in defeat to Tommy Fury but he insists his best fighting weight is 175lb at light-heavyweight.
    So it leaves his manager Mams Taylor adamant the pair must meet in the middle and box at a mutually unsatisfying 180lb – over a stone from Paul’s weight.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    Taylor told SunSport: “The reality is, I think they both have so much to lose it has to be fair and it has to be uncomfortable.
    “KSI is not comfortable at 180, Jake is not comfortable at 180 either. 
    “It’s like the art of negotiating something in meditation, you both walk away not feeling great but not feeling bad about the deal you’ve done. 
    “And if they’re both prepared to do that then I think we’ll have a fight.”  
    Most read in Sport

    Before KSI’s boxing comeback in the summer of 2022, Paul offered to fight him on short notice at 180lb.
    But the American’s team have also pointed out that KSI in 2019 fought at 196lb the night he beat Paul’s brother Logan on points.
    So Taylor is left to admit the row over size could prevent the mega-fight from happening.
    He said: “With Jake, he’s said numerous times that he’ll fight at 180 and KSI’s most comfortable fight weight thus far is 175. 
    “If KSI was a full-time pro boxer his optimum performance would be at 168lb, because he doesn’t have as big a frame and Jake is a lot bigger and getting a lot bigger. 
    “So I don’t know if that fight ever happens just because of the weight issues.” 
    KSI was forced to concede to Fury’s demands of a 183lb catchweight before he lost a controversial decision in October.
    So Taylor refuses to make the same mistake twice and have his star man fight outside his best weight.

    He said: “I don’t think that’s a good idea and I wasn’t in favour of that for Tommy, to be honest. 
    “KSI just said, ‘Look, I don’t care anymore, I don’t want to wait anymore give him that advantage.’ 
    “He gave him really almost all the advantages and I’m very proud of the way KSI performed.
    “He had a tactic in mind and a tactic he developed with his team to negate Tommy’s jab and he did and I think most people think he did enough to win. 
    “It’s unfortunate and we move. It was a great show in the end and we’re proud of that.” 
    Another roadblock is the breakdown in relationship between Taylor and Paul’s business partner Nakisa Bidarian.
    So the former music mogul is ready to hand over talks with Bidarian to his Misfists Boxing right hand man, promoter Kalle Sauerland.
    Taylor said: “I’m going to defer negotiations to Kalle if that ever happens again.

    “I really want that fight to happen, I think the people want it to happen and I certainly don’t want to be a catalyst for a reason for it not. 
    “I think Nakisa and I are like oil and water when it comes to business. So sometimes you just can’t get along with people.”
