But Paul talked down the bout with Chavez and any token title – stating he wanted a “tougher fight”. He was in talks to face Canelo, 34, in May in Las Vegas with the two close to announcing a shock bout. But Canelo walked away at the last minute to instead sign a four-fight deal with Saudi Arabia’s Turki Alalshikh.Paul’s camp then began negotiating for an exhibition against WBA lightweight champ Gervonta Davis – despite the SIX STONE weight difference.Read More on The SunBut Davis, 30, is set to rematch Lamont Roach, 29, in the summer following their controversial March draw.

      ‘At times I hated him’ – Josh Warrington vows not to follow his dad’s ‘horrible’ coaching techniques with his own son

      by

      JOSH WARRINGTON has finally got a little boy in his family corner but could never coach him like his dad did.The 34-year-old suffered his third consecutive loss, to Anthony Cacace, last September but ended the year with the Christmas gift of son Oran.Josh Warrington is not a fan of his dad Sean’s training techniquesCredit: AlamyThe Leeds star recently became a dad to baby boy OranCredit: Instagram / @j_warringtonSean (right) and Josh’s relationship almost broke down over his coaching styleCredit: RexThe two-time featherweight world champion already had twin daughters with wife Natasha and now has a male heir to the Warrington legacy.But the Leeds hero, who fights Asad Asif Khan on Saturday, doesn’t think he could ever coach his lad, after the partnership almost destroyed the relationship with him and dad and trainer Sean.”There were horrible and hard times when I hated my dad,” he told SunSport.”Boxing can do that to a father and son, no matter how close they are and how much they love each other.READ MORE ON BOXING”There were times when my dad had to push me to breaking point – mentally and physically – and times when he had to be brutally honest with me.”Those moments made me a world champion and I am grateful for them and they made our successes even more meaningful.”But I don’t think I could do that with my son.”The high points in boxing are brilliant and sharing them with your dad, in your corner, is great.Most read in BoxingBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK”But the lows are horrible and going through that with your dad – and not just a trainer – is a very difficult thing to manage and cope with.”Sadly the lows have come thick and fast for the Elland Road regular.Josh Warrington’s top-flight boxing career ends after suffering his third fight on the spinA hat-trick of losses, after a magnificent career, led to him laying down his gloves in the Wembley ring after the Irishman dominated him at his new super-featherweight.The tough Yorkshireman could not bottle up his emotions any longer and was devastated for weeks.But an outpouring of support and the X-rated backing from his old-school father helped him get back in the ring and a fight with Mick Conlan is now being targeted.He told us: “When I laid down my gloves, I meant it.”I then spent about three weeks just crying. I hid away and didn’t want to see anyone.”But slowly I started seeing people and getting messages and dad told me to stop being a ‘silly c***’ and I got back in the gym and got focused again.I don’t know how I or anyone can fill the void of a sport and a job that has been all I have known since I was nine years old.Josh Warrington”I am not silly and I am not deluded and the people around me care about me and are honest with me.”When I said I wanted to carry on, my dad and my wife and my manager backed me and that’s what I needed.”British fight fans don’t like to see their heroes – like Warrington, Joe Joyce and Derek Chisora – go on too long and spend the rest of their lives suffering.The business has a horrible way of chewing up even the biggest and bravest men.But Warrington – who admits the idea of retirement scares him – insists he will not be abused by the hurt game.He said: “I don’t know what I will do without boxing, even with a lovely family and other interests and hobbies.”I don’t know how I or anyone can fill the void of a sport and a job that has been all I have known since I was nine years old.”I understand why some fighters end up using drink and drugs and lose their way and it’s such a shame.Read More on The Sun”But I will know when to hang my gloves up – I will not become a stepping-stone opponent.”I just want to finish on a performance that I and the fans can be proud of and I know I still have that in my locker.”Asad Asif Khan faces Warrington at the weekendCredit: Getty More

      ‘We’re slaves eating the master’s leftovers’ – Inside Chelsea’s Strasbourg talent factory where loyal fans reject owners

      by

      OUTSIDERS looking in would think that RC Strasbourg and their fans are living the dream.The Ligue 1 side are enjoying a season to remember – one of their best campaigns ever with some of the most promising young players on the planet strutting their stuff.On the pitch Strasbourg are having a season to remember, but fans aren’t happyCredit: AFPMany are vocal in their hatred of their club’s new ownershipStrasbourg Ultras are furious with the direction of the club under Boehly, Eghbali and CoCredit: GettyGraffiti reading ‘BlueCo Out’ can be spotted all over the cityBut not everything is as it seems. There’s trouble brewing, bubbling just under the surface, and ready to erupt.As a Chelsea fan, when I went to visit the city of our sister club, I discovered that the incredible on-pitch performances are only Polyfilla in the cracks of the club’s identity.Strasbourg Ultras fervently believe their beloved club is at risk of crumbling into nothingness at the hands of BlueCo, the consortium that also owns Chelsea.But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start at the beginning…With one French Ligue 1 title to their name – after winning the 1978-79 crown – Alsace’s biggest football club was shockingly declared bankrupt in 2011.But, since then, their story has been one of footballing authenticity, a true tale of the ‘dare to dream’ mentality that captures everyone who falls in love with their team from a young age.They rose back through the ranks from the amateur fifth tier and back into France’s top division with ex-France international and West Ham midfielder Marc Keller as president.It is the kind of footballing romance story that personified a city of people who took immense pride in their local team.However, as in many a romance tale, a shock betrayal came from the leading man in the summer of 2023.Keller sold the club to Behdad Eghbali, Todd Boehly and Co – leading to almost two years of confusion, disarray, lack of communication with supporters, and monumental change from those now in charge of the club.Todd Boehly gives major Chelsea stadium update and vows to leave Stamford BridgeStrasbourg could finish second in Ligue 1 this season, but signs of protests remain plastered across the stadiumCredit: AFPStrasbourg is a beautiful city full of passionate fans – but many fear they are merely becoming Chelsea’s ‘B team’Supporters fervently believe their beloved club is at risk of crumbling into nothingness at the hands of BlueCoAs I strolled through the quaint and beautiful city of Strasbourg, I took a moment to sit on a wall and marvel at the river opposite me, when I was struck by what I saw on a lamppost.Stickers covered it, reading one particular message loud and clear: “BLUECO OUT”.Walking to the stadium on my first day, I noticed that these stickers occupied almost every lamppost, street sign, dustbin and bridge, alongside other variations such as ‘Non a la multipropiete’ which translated reads ‘Not a timeshare’.I reached out to Alexandre, a spokesperson for the club’s supporters federation, to find out how the fans really feel.He said: “I’m not worried about losing our identity, we’ve already lost it. It’s like you are eating the master’s leftovers, but you are a slave.”Some people might say, ‘OK, well that’s better than what we were used to’ but some others would say, ‘I’d rather be free, broke but free’.””The beauty of European football is that you have teams from different countries competing against each other based on merit, not because you are part of an ownership.”Chelsea use us as a feeder club, as a ‘B Team’ and to us that is very, very wrong.” More

The rematch is also marred in controversy with Cameron having been sent a contract for 12 rounds while Whittaker’s was for ten.

READ MORE IN BOXING“I actually had a bit of an argument with my media manager, James Marshall, because I just wanted to get it out, anything out, a video or a statement of something.“But he said just to relax and to think about it.

Clarke needed emergency surgery on his jaw and cheekbone but returned to his partner and two children soon after. But opening up on the emotion of defeat, he told Ring Magazine: “Oh man, it was just… “You know when you used to watch episodes of Eastenders where Phil Mitchell was on a mad one with a bottle of vodka on the park bench?
