      Due to the magnitude of the historic undisputed decider, Middle Eastern money men are fronting huge sums to host.
      Usyk, 35, won and retained the WBA, IBF and WBO titles after twice beating Anthony Joshua, 33, on points.
      And Fury, 34, held up his end of the bargain by beating Derek Chisora, 38, in December for the third time in their series.
      Joshua was offered the end of year blockbuster but negotiations collapsed.

      And Fury now doubts the Battle of Britain will ever commence as he looks towards a mega-money payday against Usyk.
      He told iFL TV: “That’s the bigger fight, in terms of money, 100 per cent, probably double the amount.
      “I’ll earn double the amount from Usyk than I will from the other sausage.
      “If it was going to happen it would have happened in December, 100 per cent.

      “I’m looking to fight Usyk, Joshua’s nemesis, the man who’s got AJ’s kryptonite, who made him cry after the fight like a little girl. ‘I’m 18 stone’, so? I’m 20 stone. I’ll beat him.
      “I’ll take that little sausage out, he ain’t got no kryptonite to me, he’s f*** all to me. He’s a little f***er, and I’m going to make him dance.
      “We’ll see how good he is, I’ll show you how a proper, proper Englishman does to a little mush when I get him in there, get up!”

      Arsenal jump ahead of Barcelona in Youri Tielemans transfer race as Mikel Arteta looks to grab Leicester ace on cheap

      by

      ARSENAL are reportedly in pole position to secure the services of Youri Tielemans for a cut price with his contract set to expire in the summer. The Gunners are supposedly leading the race to sign the Leicester man ahead of Barcelona.

      Tielemans is available for a low price with the Belgian international only having six months left on his current deal.
      The 25-year-old is free to speak to overseas clubs regarding a free transfer in the summer from January 1.
      But it’s Leicester’s Premier League rivals Arsenal that are closest to signing Tielemans according to Spanish newspaper, Sport.
      They state that the North London side are willing to offer £20million to tempt Tielemans to the Emirates Stadium.

      “My family is very happy there [in Leicester] and that’s important. I didn’t leave in the summer as I always said the project had to be the right one.
      “Just because things are getting worse now at Leicester doesn’t mean I should regret [staying]. Whether you are in your last contract year or not, it’s also not the case that I talk to the club every day about my extension or not. That’s work for my agent.”
      Leicester are currently 13th in the league after a mixed start to the season. More

      Man Utd, Chelsea and Newcastle transfer target Moises Caicedo to cost £70m as Brighton name price

      And now it will cost them £60-70million if they are to prise Caicedo away from the south coast, where he is a firm favourite.
      Both Uniteds wished to buy Caicedo from Ecuadorian outfit Independiente del Valle — but Brighton had already been over to watch him.
      Despite phone calls during Covid restrictions, the Reds and Magpies lost out to the Seagulls’ sales pitch as they snapped him up for £3.6m in February 2021.
      Sources close to Caicedo say he was persuaded by the way Brighton pushed hardest when he was a relative unknown.

      Now Caicedo is wanted by a host of top clubs, who also include Chelsea.
      The deal is potentially a big triumph for Brighton, who committed to the player after watching just a handful of games backed by a slick stats department.
      Their swoop came after Caicedo made his international debut to make sure he would get a work permit but before rich rivals could step in.
      The Seagulls are also signing Argentinian kid Facundo Buonanotte, 17, who joins in a £10m deal next month from Rosario Central.

      The south coast side have shown a willingness to sell their prized assets if the price has been right for them in the past.
      In 2021, Ben White left for Arsenal in a £50m deal and last summer Yves Bissouma and Marc Cucurella were sold to Tottenham and Chelsea in big-money deals.
      Brighton have started this season well and have managed to overcome the loss of boss Graham Potter who left for Chelsea.
      New manager Robert De Zebri has continued the good work from the foundations set by the Englishman, with the club sitting pretty in seventh place in the Premier League. More

      The Blues went on a nine-game unbeaten run, winning six of those fixtures.

      And Potter’s men have failed to score in their last three league fixtures against Newcastle, Manchester City and Arsenal.

      Silva’s showdown with The Problem Child has been labelled as a last-ditch attempt for a final big payday, a notion the future UFC Hall of Famer has rubbished.
      He said: “I don’t need the money anymore. People think money is important, but it’s not.
      “Of course, I will make money from this fight because it’s my job.
      “Don’t do something just for the money. Work because you have a passion.

      The Brazilian has amassed a 3-1 record, including a win over former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
      But despite his decades of combat experience, Silva believes there’s more room for improvement when it comes to his boxing.

      Watch Ederson pull off one of saves of season as he narrowly tips Mo Salah’s shot around post in Liverpool vs Man City

      by

      EDERSON foiled Mo Salah and fooled referee Anthony Taylor – with a contender for save of the season.The Manchester City keeper plunged full-length to divert Salah’s shot behind, only for a goal-kick to be awarded – before the Liverpool striker took revenge later with a brilliant winner.

      And even though Reds’ boss Jurgen Klopp was sent off for complaining about the officials, Ederson’s tip-round stirred up equal excitement on social media.
      So quick was his movement, so slight his touch, that Taylor failed to spot it – and neglected to give a corner.
      Salah had surged goalwards after first-time passing split City’s defence, but Ederson stood his ground and then flung himself to his right to fingertip the ball behind.
      Armchair observers were stunned by the save and furious Salah’s shot was NOT recorded as an effort on target due to the ref awarding a goal-kick.

      One fan posted: “Ederson makes an “incredible save” and then takes a goal kick.”
      Another hit out: “It is inexplicably given as a goal kick. What??!!”
      But some viewers noted that, no matter how outstanding Ederson’s diving save was, Salah could have rolled the ball across for Diogo Jota to slot home from 20 yards.
      One tweeted: “GNev (commentator Gary Neville) completely ignoring the fact that if he squared it, it’s a definite goal.”
