    Newcastle star Joelinton holds his balloon-filled baby gender reveal on the St James’ Park pitch with wife and two kids

    JOELINTON went from Toon main man to balloon game fan with a spectacular gender reveal at St James’ Park.The crowd favourite endeared himself to Newcastle supporters even more by choosing the cherished turf for his own personal big moment.
    Newcastle midfielder Joelinton and his family had fun on the pitch revealing the gender of their third baby
    For once at St James’ Park blue was the colour worth celebrating
    The Brazilian, partner Thays Gondim and their two children waited on the halfway line – gazing at a goal covered in pink and blue balloons.
    Joelinton then booted a ball in the air – the signal for launching a mass of blue flares and streamers.
    His family reacted with wild excitement, leaping around and sharing hugs.
    They then spoke to the camera about their new boy joy.

    It’s also a thrilling time for Joelinton in his more normal role on the pitch.
    His form took off after manager Eddie Howe moved him back from a striking role last season.
    And the 26-year-old has maintained that dynamism this term for a Saudi-backed Newcastle side who sit fourth in the Premier League.
    Now Brazil are monitoring Joelinton ever closer, with a first international call-up likely.

    First, though, the South Americans must find a successor to Tite.
    The manager stepped down after six years in charge following Brazil’s World Cup 2022 quarter-final exit against Croatia.
    Real Madrid chief Carlo Ancelotti, as well as ex-Spain and Barcelona boss Luis Enrique, are among major names mentioned as contenders.
    For Joelinton, then, it’s a momentous year all round – as he awaits his third child and hopes for Champions League football and his first cap.

    Fury, 23, was forced to pull out in December 2021 due to a rib injury and then last August amid US visa issues.
    So after agreeing to reschedule on neutral ground, Paul, 26, claimed rival was left with “no excuses”.
    But he also used the social media dig to bring up the birth of Fury and Molle-Mae’s baby daughter, which at the time had not been announced.
    Paul posted: “After multiple failed attempts to get Tommy Fury in the ring, the moment of truth has finally arrived.

    “Fumbles has no excuses now. Baby is born. Money is massive. Immigration is not an issue.”
    Paul made the claim on January 27, and Molly-Mae later revealed baby Bambi was born four days prior to that.
    The YouTuber-turned prizefighter hosted a Q&A on Instagram and was asked if he should apologise for leaking the birth.
    Paul responded: “No she should pay me for giving that baby more clout.”

    In an interview with TalkTV’s Piers Morgan, Fury was probed on the American’s move to announce his child’s birth.
    And he said: “At the end of the day, all Jake Paul can do from wherever he is in this world is speculate, and that’s all that was. 
    “Speculation, nothing is ever true unless you hear it from me and Molly. It’s part and parcel, it’s what we have to do.”
    Fury admitted the mental and verbal warfare is part of the fight game – but warned Paul’s famous antics cannot save him in the ring.
    He said: “It comes with the entertainment business, that’s what we’re in, and me and Jake Paul are great dance partners, and I’ve enjoyed the build up so far, it’s going to get a lot more heated, and I can’t wait.
    “Social media can’t save Jake Paul, his mouth can’t save him, it comes down to fighting.”

    The pay-per-view bout will come just a month after the 2019 Love Islander welcomed his baby daughter Bambi into the world with Molly-Mae.
    And in an interview with Rob Moore, before his baby’s birth, Fury admitted the mega-money fight with Paul was too good to turn down.
    He said: “I was earning my stripes. But if you want to slap millions of pounds in front of my face to fight Jake Paul, why am I not going to do that?
    “I’ve got a family to feed now any day – the reason I’ve taken the Jake Paul fight is it’s financially good.”

    Fury, 23, is finally set to get his hands on Paul, 26, after twice being forced to pull out against the American before.
    He suffered a rib injury in December 2021 and then US visa issues last August, which has taken the two to the Middle East.
    Both are set to pick up life-changing cheques for their duel in the desert, but Fury recognises there is more than just money on the line.
    Fury added: “He can’t get underneath my skin because I know what he’s doing.

    “He’s a whizz on social media, he’s made a living off being an idiot, arrogant and calling people out. It is what it is, but he can’t get underneath my skin.
    “All I see with Jake Paul is a business and if you want me to beat a man who can’t fight and throw millions of pounds in my face, not a problem, sign me up and that’s purely what this is.
    “I’ve described it all the time as being on Route 66 and I need to stop off in my campervan, fill it up and get back on the road.
    “I am on a straight and narrow road to world titles. But you want me to take a slight detour for an awful lot of fuel, pick that up and then jump back on the road?
    “That’s exactly what I’m doing here at the end of the day. This is a business; you’ve got to use your head and every fighter in my position would take that fight if it got offered to them.”

    Tyson Fury reveals his advice to brother Tommy on juggling a newborn with the biggest fight of his life vs Jake Paul

    TYSON FURY has all the advice in the world for little brother Tommy juggling a new baby and the biggest flight of his life.The 23-year-old and his Love Island darling Molly-Mae Hague announced the birth of their first child on Monday night.

    But, just 48 hours earlier, a topless Tommy had been in a Wembley ring announcing his February 26 showdown with American YouTuber Jake Paul with a scuffle.
    Injuries and visa issues have twice forced Tommy to pull out of the Saudi Arabia spectacle which has been two years in the making.
    And Tyson and dad John have both vowed to disown Tommy if he loses and shames the fighting family name.
    The pressure and clock are counting against Tommy but his 34-year-old WBC heavyweight king sibling has been through almost identical struggles – twice.

    In 2021 – after nights spent sleeping on hospital floors and jogging around car parks – Tyson showed incredible courage and professionalism to leave poorly newborn Athena and wife Paris to fly to Las Vegas and demolish Deontay Wilder in their iconic third clash.
    And, in 2009 on the night his first baby was born, Tyson was away in Ireland winning his ninth pro fight – and is still getting it in the ear to this day.
    The father-of-six and now proud uncle, said: “When my first baby Venezuela was born I was actually boxing on the same night in Dublin.
    “She arrived early and [I] got an awful lot of earache for it on the day and it’s still going now.

    “You miss one birth – out of however many – and you never hear the end of it.
    CASINO SPECIAL – BEST NEW CUSTOMER SIGN UP DEALS
    “But Tommy is getting paid well and lots of people have to miss out on family things for their work.
    “Having babies is one thing and working is another.”
    Paul, a 26-year-old former Disney actor, bulldozed his way into the boxing business with x-rated trash talk, mismatch fights and questionable antics.
    The 6-0 pro even announced the birth of Tommy’s baby prematurely on Saturday and labelled the Brit an “arrogant, egotistical p****”.
    But Tyson is no stranger to controversy and criticism himself and sounded every inch of the 6ft 9in veteran that he is, with his sage advice.
    “I will never call anyone out for things they have said in the past because I have said so much bulls*** in my life,” the Gypsy King grinned.
    “When you are coming up and trying to get famous, you have to do and say a lot of s***.
    “Look at Kim Kardashian and what she did to get famous! I can’t get into that.
    “To get popular and famous enough to sell tickets and become a pay-per-view star, you have to do some crazy-a** s***.

    “Whether it’s Jake Paul calling Conor McGregor names, or me having a go at everybody, or Tommy going in Love Island, you have to do what you have to do.
    “I will never point the finger at anyone because of all the s*** I have said over the years – and will probably continue to do so.”
    One bullish statement Tyson is not apologising for is his vow to exile Tommy to the Middle East if he is beaten by Paul.
    Tyson has given his little bro every bit of advice he can – on three particular topics he is an expert on – and now the genes have to do the talking.
    If he comes up short, he won’t just leave him behind, he’ll force him into labour as Cristiano Ronaldo’s keep-fit lackey.
    “Tommy is his own person so he has to do his own thing,” Tyson said.
    “My dad has trained him and advised him and he has all his own people working around him.
    “The only things he asks me for advice on are; trash talk, marriage and rearing kids.

    “I have told Tommy that if he loses he has to stay over in Saudi and become Ronaldo’s personal trainer. He agreed. 
    “He will have to spend his loser’s purse on a nice little flat out in Saudi and look after Ronny’s gym.” More

    Tommy Fury insists he won’t let birth of his and Molly-Mae’s baby disrupt Jake Paul fight preparations

    TOMMY FURY has insisted the birth of his first child will not disrupt his training to fight Jake Paul. Fury and his girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague – who he met on Love Island – welcomed their baby daughter into the world this month.

    It comes just four weeks before he steps foot in the ring on February 26 to face Paul in Saudi Arabia.
    But Fury told the BBC: “I’ve got my sole sight focused on Jake Paul.
    “By the time I get in the ring I’ll be an absolute specimen and I’ll be able to dismantle this man very quickly and very early.”
    Fury, 23, has twice been forced to pull out of the grudge match, in December 2021 with a rib injury and last August amid a US visa issue.

    So at the third time of asking, with the fight on neutral ground, Paul, 26, claimed his rival has “no excuses”.

    He posted: “Tommy has no excuses now…Baby’s born. Money’s massive. Immigration no issue.”
    Molly-Mae, 23, announced the birth of her child on Instagram but Paul was quick to aim another dig.

    He commented: “Just in time to watch your dad get knocked out.”
    Paul has beaten MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47, in his 6-0 career.
    But Fury will be his first opponent with a recognised boxing record that the YouTuber-turned prizefighter has faced.
    And he said: “There’s no way this man can beat me. There’s not a chance in the world.
    “Just because he’s got 22 million followers on Instagram, that doesn’t make it a 50-50 fight.”
