      It comes just hours after he posted a now-deleted Instagram video accepting Oleksandr Usyk’s fight challenge
      He said: “My cousin was murdered last night, stabbed in the neck.
      “This is becoming ridiculous – idiots carry knives. This needs to stop.”
      He called on the Government to “bring back higher sentencing for knife crime”, adding: “It’s a pandemic.
      “You don’t know how hard it is until it’s one of your own.

      “Life is very precious and it can be taken away very quick. Enjoy every moment.
      “RIP Rico Burton – may the lord God grant you a good place in heaven, see you soon.”
      It’s not yet known where Mr Burton was fatally injured.
      His death comes amid a wave of knife and gun violence across the UK, much of it focused in London.

      Just last night, four men were stabbed in Brixton. Seven people have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
      Earlier this week, 44-year-old Lee Byer was charged with murdering Thomas O’Halloran. The 87-year-old was knifed in Greenford as he rode his mobility scooter.
      And in the early hours of the morning in Manchester, a man in his 30s was reportedly stabbed to death in Altrincham. A 17-year-old boy was also seriously injured in the horror at 3.30am.
      It’s understood no arrests have been made.
      Two-time world heavyweight champion Fury wrote the emotional post just hours after vowing to come out of retirement and take on Oleksandr Usyk in a blockbuster world title fight.
      The Ukrainian put on a masterclass to beat Anthony Joshua and defend his belts last night in Saudi Arabia.
      Usyk, 35, claimed it was either retirement or the Gypsy King next for him.
      FURY’S GRIEF
      This morning Fury, 34, confirmed he is open to stepping back into the ring to win back his heavyweight titles.
      He said in a now-deleted Instagram post: “I’ve just seen Joshua lose for the second time to Usyk – out of his depth.
      “However, England has been relieved of its belts. Yet again, as usual.
      “There is a remedy and a solution that I can suggest. If you want those belts back then send in the Gypsy barbarian of England. Come on!
      “Send me in. I will relieve the Ukrainian dosser of his belts like I did the last Ukrainian dosser
      “But its not gonna be cheap. If you want the best you’ve got to pay, it’s gonna be very expensive.
      “So get your f***ing chequebook out and I will relieve that Ukrainian dosser.”
      Life is very precious and it can be taken away very quick. Enjoy every momentTyson Fury
      He previously revealed it would take £500MILLION to get him to fight again – but claimed he would beat both Usyk and AJ in the same night immediately after the bout in Jeddah.
      After watching on TV with his family and friends on holiday in Menorca, he blasted: “After watching that, the both of them were s***e. It was one of the worst heavyweight title fights I have ever seen.
      “It was bulls***. Come on!”
      Fury, who was born in Manchester, comes from a big family. He and his wife Paris, 31, have six children of their own. They live in Lancashire, although the boxer also owns a home in Vegas.

      Another said: “Goddess.”

      It is not certain how much more Manchester will get to see Georgina this year as her boyfriend seems determined to leave United.
      Ronaldo, 37, has informed the club’s hierarchy that he wishes to depart in order to play in the Champions League.

      However, there aren’t many suitors willing to sign the five-time Ballon d’Or winner as the likes of Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain reportedly rejected him.
      And in another blow for the Portugal captain, Borussia Dortmund have turned down the opportunity to bring him to Signal Iduna Park.
      The star forward has also been previously linked with Atletico Madrid and Sporting Lisbon.
      It has been claimed that Georgina is pushing the 37-year-old to return to Spain, but no clubs are willing to take a chance on him.

      Man City ace Ruben Dias’s mystery lover revealed as sexy cabaret dancer

      MANCHESTER CITY ace Ruben Dias’s mystery lover can be revealed as sexy cabaret dancer Ginevra Festa.The Sun revealed earlier this week he was snogging a mystery woman on a boat after splitting from his pop star girlfriend.

      Less than 12 months ago, the Portuguese centre-back, 25, ended a three-year relationship with stunning singer April Ivy.
      But now he has moved on with leggy brunette Ginevra after the pair were seen getting close on a holiday in Formentera.
      The sultry dancer has shared jaw-dropping snaps on social media, where she describes herself as an ‘Ibiza dancer’.
      She posed with a beautiful array of red and white flowers from a romantic admirer, hinting the Prem giant was behind the gesture.

      Pictures show her entertaining crowds at Spain’s Lio cabaret, starring on a catwalk in a dazzling red-sequin dress and lace-up boots, with her hair tied behind her head.
      And a video of her performance showed her strutting on stage as a suited male dancer grabbed her from behind and kissed her neck.
      Away from work, Ginevra shared images of her with cropped hair in a purple bikini on a speedboat – the same swimsuit she wore when romping with defender Dias.
      Her distinctive tattoos were on display, including an inked serpent which stretches down her right arm.

      Ginevra, who has also worked in Dubai, is among the performers at the “world’s most glamorous cabaret”, in which dancers, singers and acrobats entertain guests over dinner.
      The evening ends with all visitors being invited to dance, and the good news for Dias is that the cabaret venue is due to open restaurants in Mykonos, Las Vegas and London – meaning she could work nearer his Cheshire home.
      The lovers have made no attempt to hide their new relationship after following each other on social media.
      He has a massive 1.4m followers on Instagram, while she has 5,200 fans.
      Dias was seen enjoying himself as he relaxed on a boat off the coast of the Spanish island in The Sun’s published snaps.
      And his pin-up partner also chilled out in a skimpy bikini as the pair took in the glorious sunshine.
      His previous relationship with pop star April ended because of lifestyle differences, with he being “more discreet” than her, a Portuguese celebrity mag said.
      April then drew attention back towards their relationship two months later after she brought out a song which appeared to be about the famous footballer.
      “Broken Apologies” opened with the words: “I tried to give you what you needed. But you didn’t see I tried.
      “In my mind I can’t find a reason for you to leave us both behind.”
      It continued: “So I’m sorry I gave you all my love, sorry I didn’t mess this up, sorry that I wasn’t enough for you.
      “So I’m sorry I give my world for you but when you’re in love that’s what you do. I’m hoping you hear this and forgive me.”
      Reigning champions City kicked off their Premier League campaign with back-to-back wins.
      They followed up a 2-0 opening weekend victory over West Ham with a comfortable 4-0 thrashing of Bournemouth at the Etihad last Saturday.

      Next up for Dias – who has started both games – is a tough trip to St James’ Park to face Newcastle on Sunday.
      The couple were contacted for comment.

      Watch Tyson Fury demonstrate to Anthony Joshua how to attack Oleksandr Usyk’s body as he shares tips with Brit rival

      TYSON FURY urged Anthony Joshua to target Oleksandr Usyk’s body in their Saudi Arabia rematch. Fury uploaded a video to his Instagram smashing combinations with trainer Andy Lee, who was wearing a body belt.

      And he captioned the post: “This is how Anthony Joshua needs to attack Oleksandr Usyk’s body.
      “I know the blown-up middleweight can’t take body shots.”
      Usyk – who started his amateur career at middleweight – was once dropped by Artur Beterbiev after a body shot in the unpaid ranks.
      And Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has urged the former two-time champion to adopt similar tactics on Saturday night.

      Hearn told EsNews: “You got to hit him hard to the body, to the arms, to the shoulders, to the neck. You’ve got to damage him.
      “But he’s a very tough challenge. The key to this fight is those first six rounds.”
      Joshua, 32, was beaten over 12 rounds by Usyk, 35, last September but Hearn wants the rematch in Jeddah wrapped up before the final bell.
      He said: “I don’t want it to go to points. I don’t like this fight going to points for Anthony Joshua.

      “He can win the fight on points but I want him to knock Oleksandr Usyk spark out because I don’t want any mucking around.
      “I want a nice, clean stoppage where we can all dive in the ring, celebrate and go home with all the belts and that’s what we want.”
      Fury, 34, is linked with a comeback to fight the winner between Usyk and Joshua.

      The ex-football stars who look FITTER in retirement – from David Beckham’s incredible abs to super strong Rio Ferdinand

      by

      FOOTBALLERS are said to be at the peak of their fitness when they’re playing. But a number of the world’s former footballing superstars actually look even fitter in retirement than during their playing days.
      Ferdinand shows off his ripped muscles after a gym workoutCredit: INSTAGRAM
      And SunSport is here to give you the rundown on some of the stars who are ageing like fine wines…
      Rio Ferdinand
      Former Manchester United captain Rio Ferdinand was a cultured ball-playing defender, especially when compared to his more brutish central defensive partner Nemanja Vidic.

      However, Ferdinand was no slouch in a physical battle, and after a glittering 20-year career where he won 15 trophies he has doubled down on that part of his physique.
      The 43-year-old’s muscles can often be seen bulging while he wears a suit during punditry work and he has posted photos flexing his impressive muscles.
      He even teased becoming a boxer – however he retired before ever actually having a fight.
      Patrice Evra
      Patrice Evra is up next, and like Ferdinand he enjoyed a glittering career with 21 trophies to his name across stints with Manchester United, Juventus and Monaco before retiring in 2019.

      Evra showed off his ripped physique in a recent Instagram postCredit: INSTAGRAM
      Evra regularly posts feel-good messages on his Instagram page, with his trademark “I love this game” coming out often.
      But Evra isn’t just a talker – he’s also a doer as his shredded physique testifies.
      David Beckham
      Everyone knows no list about fit-looking former footballers is complete without David Beckham.

      Following his retirement from football in 2013, the former England captain continued to pursue modelling work, and still has partnerships with brands such as TUDOR watches and Haig Club.
      In his playing days, Beckham had a far leaner look but now has a shredded physique with an impressive set of tattoos to go along with it.

      Paolo Maldini

      The Italian, now 54, was one of the best to ever play the game, and coined one of the most famous quotes of any footballer: “If I have to make a tackle then I have already made a mistake.”
      The AC Milan legend was never the most imposing player – not that he had to be – but in retirement, the Milan director has worked into a more chiselled figure with a defined six-pack to boot.

      Clarence Seedorf
      Clarence Seedorf was included in Ferdinand’s toughest Champions League XI, and if that doesn’t indicate the type of quality the former midfielder had, then the 19 trophies in his cabinet should be enough.

      Ferdinand labelled Seedorf: “One of the most underrated players of our generation,” and such a statement might be fair considering the calibre of clubs he played for at the height of their powers.
      Since retirement, Seedorf shares his videos of his intense workouts and beach-going antics online to his 1.4million Instagram followers.
      Ze Roberto
      While some footballers lose their shape following retirement, some manage to change their physique so drastically that it surprises everyone.

      The fire the former Juventus midfielder had while playing could still clearly be seen as he squared up with Thomas Tuchel during Chelsea and Tottenham’s Battle of the Bridge II.
      And now at 53 one might have expected his physique to have dipped a bit, but as seen from his spot of paddle boarding earlier this year, he looks as fit as a fiddle.
      Zinedine Zidane
      The great midfielders just keep on coming, this time in the form of Zinedine Zidane.

      Zidane is credited as having two of the most iconic moments in football history thanks to his stunning goal in the Champions League final against Bayer Leverkusen for Real Madrid and his headbutt in the 2006 World Cup final.
      The Frenchman was never needed to be the most domineering player but now aged 50 looks as good as ever when he posts on his Instagram for his 33.5m followers.
      Andrea Pirlo
      The tongue-in-cheek phrase “no Pirlo no party” couldn’t have been more appropriate in Italian football between 2011 and 2015, such was Andrea Pirlo’s impact on the outcome of who won the Serie A title in each of those seasons.

      The maestro made passing an art form and easily stands alongside the likes of Xavi and Paul Scholes among the best passers of a football ever.
      Pirlo tried his hand at management after retirement, unsuccessfully thus far, but has had great success in keeping in shape despite hanging up his boots in 2018.

      David Ginola
      The last man on our list is French winger David Ginola. The former Spurs and Paris Saint-Germain man retired all the way back in 2003.

      Ginola suffered a heart attack in 2016 during a charity football match in France which saw him die for eight minutes, but fortunately, he recovered and opened up on his ordeal.
      However, as seen with his 2021 appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, his body appearance has more than stood the test of time, even if he has less hair than he used to. More

      JOACHIM ANDERSEN has revealed the horrific abuse he has received after being headbutted by Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez.Crystal Palace defender Andersen was sent sprawling to the Anfield turf when Nunez nutted him in the 57th minute of Monday’s night’s 1-1 draw.

      The Dane, 26, has since copped serious flak on social media – including a death threat – some of which he shared on his Instagram page.
      The expletive-laden content of the messages the ex-Fulham loanee received was disgusting, with one particular user threatening to kill the player and his family.
      Andersen ended a number of stories he posted detailing some of the abusive posts by calling on the Premier League and Instagram to take action.
      He wrote: “Got maybe 3-400 of these messages last night. I understand you support a team but have some respect and stop act tough online.

      “Hope @instagram and the @premierleague do something about this.”
      Part of one sick message to Andersen said: “F*** you. I will kill you and your family.”
      While another read: “You’re a f***ing disgrace. Some tough man diving on the floor hope the plane crashes on the way back to London.”
      Palace’s process will now be to speak to Andersen to offer their support and see if he wishes to report the abuse.
      Most read in Football
      If he does, the South London club will do so to their club police liaison officer and the Premier League, who have a team set up to investigate these incidents.
      Nunez, who joined Liverpool from Benfica this summer for a deal starting at £64million, is set to miss three matches for his moment of madness.
      Palace were leading 1-0 at the time through Wilfried Zaha’s opener, but Jurgen Klopp’s side salvaged a point thanks to a strike from Luis Diaz.
      Andersen and Nunez had a running battle throughout the game but the Uruguayan’s action still came as a shock.
      Speaking about the incident to Scandinavian broadcaster Viaplay, Andersen said: “The whole game I sat really close to him, I annoyed him a lot and did well against him.
      “I think that’s why he was angry with me.
      “He headbutted me, the first one, at a cross, and I told him he shouldn’t do that.
      “I was angry with him. Then he did it again which, for me, is really stupid, so it’s a clear red card.”
      The Premier League are understood to have been in contact with Palace to offer their assistance. More

      The fire the former Juventus midfielder had while playing could still clearly be seen as he squared up with Thomas Tuchel during Chelsea and Tottenham’s Battle of the Bridge II.
      And now at 53 one might have expected his physique to have dipped a bit, but as seen from his spot of paddle boarding earlier this year, he looks as fit as a fiddle.
      Zinedine Zidane
      The great midfielders just keep on coming, this time in the form of Zinedine Zidane.

      Zidane is credited as having two of the most iconic moments in football history thanks to his stunning goal in the Champions League final against Bayer Leverkusen for Real Madrid and his headbutt in the 2006 World Cup final.

      The maestro made passing an art form and easily stands alongside the likes of Xavi and Paul Scholes among the best passers of a football ever.
      Pirlo tried his hand at management after retirement, unsuccessfully thus far, but has had great success in keeping in shape despite hanging up his boots in 2018.

      Ginola suffered a heart attack in 2016 during a charity football match in France which saw him die for eight minutes, but fortunately, he recovered and opened up on his ordeal.
      However, as seen with his 2021 appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, his body appearance has more than stood the test of time, even if he has less hair than he used to. More
