      Fury is an overwhelming favourite to come out of the desert dust-up victorious but insists he’s not taking the boxing novice lightly.
      And he’s all too aware of the stain losing the Saudi showdown will leave on his career, much like Manchester United’s 7-0 loss to Liverpool in March has done with Erik ten Hag’s reign as Red Devils boss.
      He told TNT Sports: “He’s about 6ft 5in tall, he’s about 278 pounds, he’s about 18 or 19 stone, a dynamite puncher with both hands.
      “He’s recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the hardest puncher to have ever punched anything, so there’s that risk.

      “The biggest risk of all is fighting an MMA fighter, and I’m the world heavyweight champion, so what happens if he beats me? Ridiculed.
      “It would be like getting beat by Liverpool for Manchester United, 7-0, wouldn’t it?
      “How do you come back from that?”
      Despite Ngannou’s lack of professional boxing experience, Fury, 35, is treating the MMA man-mountain the same way he has all his previous opponents.

      He said: “All of these opponents I face, they are all risky fights, or are all big men – like anyone over 14 stone is a big man.
      ‘All of these guys are big lumps and when I fight them the risk is always the same, they’ve got a puncher’s chance.
      “But I never leave a stone unturned.
      ‘That’s one thing I do. I always do everything I can in my power to be successful.
      “The way I look at it is, if this guy is going to beat me then fair play to him I will shake his hand, he must be a good fighter because I’m no easy man to beat as I’ve shown over the years.
      ‘So if I can bump into somebody that can beat me, I would say, ‘Fantastic, fair play to you, well done,’ take them for a beer and that’s it.”
      Fury is set to perform a quick turnaround after his ten-rounder with Ngannou for a historic undisputed heavyweight title fight with former pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk.
      SunSport understands the fight is on course to take place in Saudi on December 23, although it could be pushed back to January. More

      by

      Man United boss Erik Ten Hag said: “I don’t think it’s a distraction. We will focus on the games. He will do as well.
      “On Saturday, he will be back in training, so tomorrow.”
      The star faced a voluntary police interview yesterday following allegations of assault by his ex Gabriela Cavallin.
      He is currently being investigated by police in both Manchester and Sao Paulo – and was axed from the Brazil national team for their World Cup qualifiers this month.

      It has been reported in Brazil that Gabriela has told police that £150,000-a-week Antony assaulted her four times.
      She previously alleged she was first attacked in June 2022 while pregnant and on holiday in Brazil.
      And she claimed in January Antony headbutted and punched her in a Manchester hotel, damaging a breast implant.
      And she claimed he threw a glass at her in May, injuring her finger.

      In a statement today, the Premier League club confirmed the £85million winger’s return to training at Carrington.
      But the star won’t be involved in training today or in Saturday’s match against Crystal Palace.
      Man Utd said: “Since allegations were first made in June, Antony has cooperated with police inquiries in both Brazil and the UK, and he continues to do so.
      “As Antony’s employer, Manchester United has decided that he will resume training at Carrington, and be available for selection, while police inquiries proceed.
      “This will be kept under review pending further developments in the case.
      “As a club we condemn acts of violence and abuse.
      “We recognise the importance of safeguarding all those involved in this situation, and acknowledge the impact these allegations have on survivors of abuse.”
      Antony, who has made 31 appearances for United since the alleged assaults, has denied all wrongdoing and vowed to clear his name.
      The announcement comes after the player was pictured leaving a Manchester police station following a five-hour grilling by cops.
      The winger landed at Manchester Airport on Monday night after flying in from Sao Paulo, Brazil to face the music.
      Antony allegedly contacted Greater Manchester Police and volunteered to meet them for questioning.
      The Man United ace is said to be planning to hand his phone over to officers to aid their investigations, The Times reports.
      And exactly 20 days ago, Cavallin led calls for Antony to be dropped from the squad in an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday.
      Gabriela said: “Antony needs to be taken off the pitch. It’s disappointing he’s still allowed to play while there’s an investigation.
      “I am absolutely destroyed by the whole process. How can life go on as normal for him? They can’t just know what they know now and not do anything. He needs to be removed.”

      Earlier this month, Antony was granted an indefinite leave of absence from the Red Devils.
      Club sources had insisted he had not been suspended and would remain on full pay during his time away from Old Trafford.

      BARCELONA have Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial on their six-man transfer shortlist, it’s claimed.The Spanish champions are also said to be eyeing moves for Arsenal duo Kai Havertz and Jorginho next summer.

      Barca’s financial problems have had a direct impact on their transfer business in recent seasons.
      In order to manage their issues, the club have been forced to look at free agents, flops, and out-of-favour players from top teams in Europe.
      According to Mundo Deportivo, they have already applied that approach to their plans for next summer.
      The report claims that Barca have drawn up a six-man list of potential targets, which includes Sancho and Martial.

      Sancho has not played for United since August 26 following his public falling out with Erik ten Hag.
      The Red Devils boss has even banished the winger from attending any first-team activities as their feud continues.
      As a result, Sancho’s future at Old Trafford appears to be over, with Roma joining Barcelona in being linked with a move.
      Meanwhile, Martial has also struggled for consistent opportunities so far this season and is into the final year of his contract.

      The Frenchman was also booed by his own fans as he replaced Rasmus Hojlund against Brighton earlier this month.
      Xavi is not just looking at United players, though, with the report adding that he has his eye on Arsenal pair Havertz and Jorginho.
      The former Chelsea duo have both joined the Gunners this year, with Jorginho arriving in January ahead of Havertz’s summer move.

      Mikel Arteta has yet to start Jorginho in the league this season and the Italian was linked with an exit in the summer as his contract expires in 2024.
      Havertz, on the other hand, has struggled for form since joining the club and is yet to register a goal or an assist this term.
      He was also dropped for the trip to Everton earlier this month and again started on the bench in last weekend’s North London derby.
      Barcelona’s six-man shortlist does include players from outside the Premier League, though.
      Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt is their sole defensive target, having complained about his playing time with the German giants.

      The Blaugrana are also one of a number of clubs tracking Athletic Club forward Nico Williams.
      With less than a year remaining on his deal, the Spain winger has provided four assists in four LaLiga matches this season.

      Chiesa, 25, could fit the bill and his contract is set to expire in 2025.
      According to Calciomercato, United want to agree a deal for Chiesa in January to bolster their wide options.

      His club are hoping to agree a one-year extension on similar money in upcoming weeks, before sitting down for more long-term talks.
      The Euro 2020 winner struggled to recapture his best form after returning from a serious knee injury last season.
      But he has looked more himself this term, scoring four goals and laying on an assist in his first six appearances.
      Meetings are set to take place between Juventus chiefs and Chiesa’s agent Fali Ramadani in the coming weeks.

      Sancho, meanwhile, doesn’t look likely to return to contention at Old Trafford any time soon.
      He has not featured since August, having been initially dropped for his side’s trip to Arsenal on September 3 for what Ten Hag claimed were poor performances in training.

      The 23-year-old subsequently refuted his manager’s claim, and said that he was being made a “scapegoat”.
      Sancho has since reportedly been banned from all first team facilities, including the canteen.
      Ten Hag, 53, will not entertain the idea of re-integrating the former Borussia Dortmund star until he apologises.
      Dortmund are among the teams interested in signing Sancho in January.
      While Serie A strugglers Roma are also believed to be keen.

      Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool ‘to rival City in race for £50m-rated Brentford star after red-hot start to 2023-24’

      The 21-year-old full-back has been in remarkable form for both club and country – attracting interest from a the Premier League’s big-hitters in the process.
      SunSport exclusively revealed earlier this year that City were chasing Hickey, who was then rated at £30m.
      And Pep Guardiola remains keen on the Bees star, despite seeing his side win six out of six in a flawless start to the season.
      But it won’t be easy, with the Mirror reporting title rivals Arsenal and Liverpool, as well as neighbours United interested too.

      German giants Bayern Munich who already poached Harry Kane from the Prem this summer, are also keen.
      And Hickey’s performances have seen his price-tag continue to rise too, with Brentford set to demand at least £50m.
      Bees boss Thomas Frank will be gutted if he loses another key asset with Rico Henry sidelined due to a serious knee injury, and suspended talisman Ivan Toney set to depart in January.
      Frank spoke about Hickey’s versatility and importance in the Bees squad.

      He said: “With Aaron there is a lot of talk about whether he is a right back or a left-back, but I am in that privileged position that he can play on both sides and will most likely go on the left.
      “He is both-footed and has huge ability, we don’t have that many full-backs so he is very important.
      “He is a player we signed a year ago with big ambitions and his future and it is going in the right direction for him.”
      Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has made it clear how much he rates Hickey’s ability to play on either flank and is ready to fight for his signature.
      United meanwhile are desperate to add to their full-backs with Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka suffering injuries.
      Liverpool are keen to reboot what Jurgen Klopp is calling ‘Liverpool 2.0’ with youthful talent and Hickey fits the bill perfectly.
      The Brentford star started out as a left-back for Hearts before making his way to the Serie A side Bologna in 2020.
      Hickey then made his debut in 2022 for the Premier League and has since made a remarkable start under Frank. More
