      His brother, whose impersonation attempt was nothing short of woeful, predicted an easy win.
      The Problem Child, 25, replied: “Feeling good.

      The 6ft 9ins giant said: “The Pauls are getting annihilated! Dossers!”
      The younger Fury was set to fight rival Jake Paul on December 18, with both wannabes putting their unbeaten records on the line.
      Older brother Tyson, 33, was so confident in Tommy winning that he claimed he’d retire him and force him to change his surname if Paul came out on top.
      However, the fight was called off at the last hour when Tommy, 23, was forced to pull out because of injury.
      He returned to the ring last April to convincingly beat Daniel Bocianski on points after six rounds at Wembley Stadium – on the undercard of his Tyson’s fight against Dillian Whyte.
      So far, Paul and Fury have yet to reschedule their cancelled fight.
      Although, recent reports suggested the pair could meet in August
      YouTube reporter KEEMSTAR said in a video:“The question is, who’s Jake fighting?
      “Well, I’m hearing from my sources that Jake Paul is in fact going to be facing Tommy Fury.
      “Tommy had to back out of the last fight because he had an injury.
      “It looks like Jake is gonna give him another chance.”

      But when trying to sell a signed Pulisic Chelsea jersey for around £1,130, the fan went a little overboard.
      Appearing on the TV show Pawn Stars, host Corey Harrison said: “This guy’s like the phenom guy, right? The LeBron James of soccer?”
      To which the wannabe entrepreneur responded: “Definitely.”
      He then added: “I’m at the pawn shop today to try and sell my signed Christian Pulisic jersey.
      “I’m a huge soccer fan, and even more so a Christian Pulisic fan.”

      Despite being such a big fan, he didn’t seem to know all that much about him.
      Asked by Harrison what position the Chelsea ace plays, he said: “He plays centre-midfield, and sometimes centre-forward.”
      He then added: “He’s one of the top players in the Premier League which, for an American, is pretty few and far between.
      “He’s probably one of the most watched on the Chelsea team.”

      The show then brought an ‘expert’ in to judge the shirt, with its owner looking for around £1,130 to sell it.
      After being summoned the ‘expert’ said: “Christian Pulisic is one of the finest soccer players, or football players, in the world and he plays in England, plays for Chelsea.
      “The kid’s 22-years-old, so you imagine the talent this guy has.
      “We think of guys like Messi or Ronaldo – this kid’s already being compared to all them.”
      Despite these lofty comparisons, Pulisic doesn’t quite have the body of work to match up.
      He has struggled to stay fit this season, starting just four Premier League games.
      In 12 appearances in total this term, he has managed two goals and one assist.
      Fans on social media joked about the Pawn Stars clip

      Fans in the UK couldn’t believe what they were watching.
      One joked: “Christian Pulisic plays for the English soccer team Chelseashire FC United. A stalwart at the heart of the Chelsea midfield, Pulisic is widely considered the greatest player in the Premier League and is often compared to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.”
      Another had a rather different comparison for Pulisic: “$1500 for a signed American Alex Iwobi jersey?” More

      Worst Man Utd signings XI since Sir Alex Ferguson, including, Di Maria, Depay and De Beek that cost a whopping £431m

      by

      SIR ALEX FERGUSON left Manchester United with the Premier League trophy – but a raft of bad signings has seen it taken away with little sign of returning. An incredible £431.7million has been splashed on 13 dodgy deals in particular by flop bosses ranging from Louis Van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Romelu Lukaku cost an initial £75m and United struggled to find takers when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decided to offload the Belgian to Inter where he thrived, before re-joining Chelsea.
      A promising first season was lost with a drop-off in 2018-19, scoring at an average of one every three games before leaving for Italy.At the very least, Lukaku provided some memorable moments but the same cannot be said for Angel Di Maria.
      The winger arrived with much fanfare in 2014 and quickly dropped off the pace, shepherded out to Paris Saint-Germain where he painfully found the form he lacked in England.
      The next expensive error was Fred who joined for £52m, but last season he did prove some doubters wrong with some impressive displays.
      Although, for that kind of outlay, you still want to see more.

      Pogba played over 200 games in total for United, winning two trophies, but often came under fire from sections of the Red Devils’ supportCredit: AFP

      Paul Pogba is perhaps the biggest duff of the lot.
      The £89million paid by Manchester United bring him back in 2016 remains the club’s highest ever transfer fee.
      It was also the world record figure paid for a footballer at the time.
      But now six years later Pogba will leave Old Trafford for NOTHING, with only a League Cup and Europa League winners medal to show for it.
      Marcos Rojo and Daley Blind were picked up in 2014 off the back of good World Cup campaigns – a strategy that rarely pays off and cost the club over £30m.
      And although Matteo Darmian was an Italian international when plucked from Torino, Louis van Gaal’s exit cast him to the fringes.
      De Beek’s has had a torrid time at Old Trafford since joining from Ajax for £35m

      Falcao struggled both at United and ChelseaCredit: PA:Empics Sport

      In the slightly more affordable but nonetheless useless category are Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Morgan Schneiderlin, who came in for £30m and £27m respectively.
      Still, United recouped most of the fee they spent on French anchor man Schneiderlin when he joined Everton but Mkhitaryan’s exit saw Alexis Sanchez arrive – making the Chilean’s initial fee cheap and yet still a huge disappointment.
      Among those who arrived with potential and waited until after leaving to go on to great things is Memphis Depay.
      Now a star at Barcelona and with the Dutch national team, his baffling form in the 2015/16 season showed that United had lost their touch when turning young gems into superstars.
      Many United fans point to former executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward as the chief architect of these abysmal deals.
      While replacing the peerless David Gill was a tough assignment, and finding a man capable of replacing Fergie nigh-on impossible, there were serious questions over his approach, which is why Richard Arnold is now orchestrating affairs. Credit: PA:Empics Sport Perhaps the Red Devils thought they were pulling off a cunning piece of Andrea Pirlo-esque business when bringing in Bastian Schweinsteiger but, at 31, the German was far past his best during an 18-month spell.
      Radamel Falcao was still in his late-20s when arriving on loan in 2014 on a £6m fee and massive wage combination yet hit just four goals in 29 games.
      United’s last boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also brought in a few questionable faces to Old Trafford.
      The Norwegian was responsible for recruiting Dutch flop Donny van de Beek from Ajax for £35m last summer.
      But he’s hardly set the Premier League alight, making just four domestic starts since the beginning of last season.
      De Beek’s joined by Jadon Sancho on Solskjaer’s list of poor signings. The winger signed from Borussia Dortmund in the summer for a whopping £73m but has flattered to deceive.
      However, the English international may prove doubters wrong next season under new boss Erik ten Haag.
      Of course, not all of Fergie’s signings hit the right note – just ask Kleberson, Eric Djemba Djemba, Juan-Sebastian Veron, Massimo Taibi. More

      From Love Island’s Gemma Owen to a singer adored by Ant and Dec, can you guess the footballer dads of these glam girls?

      by

      MICHAEL OWEN is full of surprises. First, the former England ace rapped as a giant stack of doughnuts on ITV’s The Masked Singer.

      Now, the baby-faced pundit’s daughter Gemma is set to sizzle on our TV screens this summer as a contestant on Love Island.
      19-year-old Gemma will look very different on the nation’s TV screens to when we saw her in a mini Newcastle kit as a toddler in her famous daddy’s arms.
      The former international dressage rider and swimwear business owner is in it to win it in the famous villa as she reveals she’s just as competitive as her footy star dad.
      But Gemma admits former England and Liverpool star Michael, 42, isn’t exactly “buzzing” ahead of her stint in the Majorcan love nest, and has banned her from scoring on the ITV2 hit.
      But Gemma isn’t the only footie girl in a league of her own…

      Paul, former Manchester United midfielder, came in for some teasing on social media last October after Alicia posted a video to her 120,000 followers which appeared to show him giving his daughter a foot rub before nibbling on her big toe. She captioned it: “True love.”
      Alicia is also an ambassador for Sportingmindsuk, which offers mental health support to young people in sport.

      With her surname of Maradona, Dalma needs little introduction.
      The 34-year-old – daughter of the late Argentine legend, Diego – began acting at just nine years old, on Argentine children’s TV series, Cebollitas, which fittingly told the story of child footballers at a neighbourhood club. 
      As a teen, she worked in theatre and TV and made her film debut in La Rabia in 2008. 
      Dalma went on to earn a degree in acting. 
      Her mother, Claudia Villafañe, who divorced Maradona in 1998 after 13 years of marriage, is also an actress and won the first series of Masterchef Celebrity Argentina. 
      After her dad’s death from a heart attack in 2020, Dalma posted a touching black and white photo of herself as a toddler with the superstar, with the words: “I’m going to remember you every day, every day missing you a little more.”

      Chelsea Pearce takes after her mother, Liz, with her talent for horseriding.
      The daughter of England and premier league defender Stuart Pearce – who was nicknamed Psycho for his aggressive style – competes for Great Britain in eventing and is a European silver medallist. 
      She is funded with a SportsAid UK grant and also teaches groups and individuals. 
      The 21-year-old started riding at two years old, taking after her mum, Liz, who split from Stuart in 2014 and kept racehorses at stables near the family’s £1.8m home near Marlborough, Wilts.
      At Stonar School, Wilts., she was on the netball, hockey, cross country running and swimming teams.

      Jade Leboeuf – daughter of French footie star Frank – grew up in London, France and Qatar and is now a model and social media influencer, with 141,000 followers on Instagram. 
      The 31-year-old acted in American film, Everlasting, in 2016, but has since become an entrepreneur, launching a food van, Hyde Pizza, in Luxembourg, where she lives. 
      Jade is married to reality show star Stéphane Rodrigues and the pair welcomed their first child, Elon, in August 2020. 
      She’s clearly a fan of the gym if her abs are anything to go by.

      Her Brazilian superstar dad, Romario – now a politician – might be hailed as one of the world’s greatest ever players, but Danielle Favatto is making her own mark as a social media star. 
      The stunning brunette has amassed more than a quarter of a million Instagram followers since 2015. 
      One of six kids, Danielle, 24, posts pictures of herself enjoying the sun in Rio de Janeiro, admiring the sights in Paris and posing in bikinis at various exotic locations. 
      The model also appears to have a deal with a Brazilian swimwear company.

      IN a four-man midfield, THREE Liverpool stars make the cut.
      And leading the headlines is the inclusion of Stevie G, who edges out Lampard in the starting XI – playing just off the strikers.
      It’s not too much of a surprise given Torres called the Kop idol his best-ever team-mate on announcing his retirement.
      Mascherano and Alonso join Gerrard in the middle, with the Argentine at the base of the diamond.
      Also in the midfield is Spain team-mate Xavi – helping form a centre-mid Xavi-Alonso partnership.

      UP FRONT, Torres has picked himself to lead the line.
      In his prime he was possibly the best striker on the planet.
      He’s joined by Spain team-mates Villa and Iniesta in providing a threat going forward – two of his country’s all-time greats.

      How Anthony Joshua lives lavish life with private jets, holidays and luxury cars – without spending his £63m fortune

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA’s social feeds are littered with snaps of exotic holidays on private jets, custom-made sports cars and watches worth more than £350,000.But despite being worth £63million and living a life of luxury, the British star is so humble that he still lives in an ex-council house with his mum – and gets everything from his luxury holidays to his clothes for free.

      AJ also has a humble two-bed flat in Sheffield that he uses when training, which features a master bedroom with a single bed, worn-out sofas in the living room and just one communal bathroom.
      And while Joshua might be one of the few people in the country not to have to worry about the cost of his weekly supermarket shop, it seems he doesn’t even pay for his own cartons of eggs, with his sponsors paying for his meal prep as well.
      The 6ft 6in 32-year-old banks all his money, only splashing out on treats for his family, not himself.
      His right-hand man and marketing manager, Freddie Cunningham, says that despite having “a lot of money,” Joshua “doesn’t live the life that he could.”

      “From the outside, it probably looks like he does. He’s seen in private jets, wearing expensive watches, and driving around in nice cars,” he told Business Insider.
      “But the jets are all sponsored. We’ve never paid for a private jet, or a helicopter, in our life. He gets a signature car from Land Rover.
      “He’s not spending that money. He’s accumulating money.
      “He’s living a lifestyle that probably everyone wants him to live, or see him live, but he’s doing it in a smart way. Tactful.”
      Joshua has 12 endorsement deals on the go – earning him an estimated £5m per year – ranging from clothing, electronics and cars that keep him in the money when he isn’t fighting opponents.

      A free £45million private jet
      AJ is sponsored by US sportswear giant Under Armour – who provide him with a private jet, as well as paying him a seven-figure salary.
      Showing the interior of the £45million black G550 ahead of his trip to the States to face Ruiz for the first time, AJ said: “These type of things aren’t ordinary, in my daily life and in many other people’s daily lives, so it’s a blessing.
      “However, my view is even though I enjoy it and the door has been opened for me, I can’t forget to open the door for people who have come with me and the people who aren’t in a position to enjoy this type of luxury.
      Anthony travels on a £45million private jet provided by one of his sponsorsCredit: Instagram, @anthony_Joshua
      “I never get too lost in the source and get carried away with these types of things.”
      The company also provide the former world heavyweight champion with his in-ring attire and training wear, including all tracksuits and trainers.
      Anthony also has free use of a helicopter, provided to him by Beats by Dre, who he’s been the face of since 2017.
      Free car when his was stolen
      As a 17-year-old, Joshua’s first car was a Vauxhall Astra, which he saved up £1,500 to buy and claimed it was a “stable, sturdy car.”
      Now, thanks to his partnership with Jaguar Land Rover – which is rumoured to be worth £790,000 a year – AJ rolls round London in his choice of a fleet of luxury wheels, including a customised white Jaguar XJR, worth £93,000.
      Anthony has a deal with Jaguar – who give him free carsCredit: Instagram, @anthony_Joshua
      His favourite motor is his personalised black Range Rover, which he says “looks very professional and sets a standard”
      He was furious last year when, just days before his fight with Alexander Povetkin, his bespoke £150,000 motor – gifted to him by his sponsors – was stolen outside of his cousin’s house.
      Luckily the company replaced it with a new one immediately.  
      Free trips to Dubai, Miami and Jamaica
      When he isn’t sparring, AJ enjoys exotic holidays with his family and friends, with his Instagram showing him recently in Dubai, Jamaica and Miami.
      Again, most of these trips are sponsored by countries and resorts who want the privilege of having the sporting icon spotted hitting their hottest tourist spots.

      Cunningham said: “We have a partnership with Dubai Tourism and they really like him and get his philosophy on life, his morals, everything.
      “He resonates with that territory. They want to bring boxing there. Hopefully we can do something there.”
      Anthony has even stayed at the Nobu Miami Beach Private Villa, which costs £5k per night and the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok, where luxury villas are rented out for £4k a week.
      A free watch worth more than a house
      Anthony came from humble beginnings on a council estate in Watford.
      He now says he knows the value of the money he’s made.
      “Don’t save what is left after spending, spend what is left after saving,” was the advice he gave his 8.8 million Instagram followers.
      The boxing champ even gets free gym membership and meal plans
      But despite keeping his purse strings shut, he still wears jewellery and clothes worth thousands.
      He was gifted a £350,000 watch worth more than the average house, thanks to his partnership with luxury jewellers Audemars Piguet.
      Free gym, concerts and food
      In 2019, Joshua helped to open state of the art BXR gym in London’s Marylebone along with his promoter Eddie Hearn.
      Joshua said: “I spend the majority of my life in the gym, so I know what is required to make a truly great one.”
      Ahead of his first fight with Ruiz, he returned to train at his former gym, ABC Finchley, for free.
      AJ doesn’t even have to spend much on his weekly shop.

      His high protein diet is funded by his deal with Bulk Powders. He’s also sponsored by Lynx and Axe, so that’s his beauty and hygiene regime sorted.
      And if he wants to treat his family and friends to a free dinner, he can flash his black card at Nando’s and get it for free.
      He doesn’t even have to pay to attend gigs, concerts and sporting events, having the luxury of VIP suites through his endorsement with StubHub ticketing agency, while he gets free Sky TV through his deal with Sky Sports. More

      Ex-Middlesbrough footy star Richard Kell became a Jet2 pilot after two broken legs wrecked his footballing dream

      by

      WHO needs a football career?When Richard Kell, now 43, decided to hang up his boots at 27 after suffering two broken legs he already had a back-up plan.

      Midfielder Kell revealed his analytical skills as a footballer put him in good stead to become a pilotCredit: AFP – Getty
      Kell is equally as critical of his performance as a pilot as he was a player
      The former Middlesbrough trainee began learned how to fly a plane during an injury lay-off at Scunthorpe United from 2001-2004.
      And back in 2020 he revealed all about what led to him becoming an airline captain for commercial airline Jet2.
      “I had just recovered from my first broken leg and felt I was struggling to get back to full fitness at Scunthorpe,” Kell revealed in 2016.
      “I was on a month to month contract and whilst waiting in the airport for a pre-season tour to Ireland I got talking to a pilot who was sat next to me.
      “On my return I went to my nearest airport (Humberside) to make my initial enquiries.
      “I had completed about 10-15 hours training, however my fitness returned, I signed a new contract and my pilots training was put on the ‘back burner’ for a time.
      “Fortunately I was able to keep returning to my training at different times in my playing career.”
      Kell believes that key skills he had as a footballer put him in good stead when it came to transitioning towards flying a plane.

      He said: “I was analytical as a footballer and always wanted to learn more.
      “Also, football gave me interpersonal skills. Being confined within the ‘tin box’ of a cockpit at 35,000 feet, means that I must be appreciative of my co pilots and other crew, who I have to interact with.
      “Finally, I was a fairly technical player so my overall touch and hand/ eye coordination is a great attribute to have as a pilot, helping me instinctively know when to apply power and rudder.”
      Kell jokes that he is as critical of his performance as a pilot as he was a footballer – and he analyses his performance in the cockpit just like he did on the pitch.
      “Rather like being a footballer I always want to do the job to the best of my ability,” he said.
      “I still sometimes think about my performance on the way home and how I can do my job better the next time.”
      Making it as a footballer is a tough ask, every kid dreams of becoming one.
      However, going on to become a pilot is equally as hard in what is a competitive industry.
      “You can be different, but nothing worthwhile is easy,” Kell revealed.
      “My chosen career was every bit as hard to get into as football and can be equally as competitive. However, if I had failed to gain my commercial pilot license I could still have gone and done something more mainstream and familiar.
      “I didn’t want any niggling doubts or ‘what ifs’ later in life.”
      PFA HELP
      When his premature retirement came knocking on the door, Kell was awarded a lump sum from the PFA.
      They also gave him an educational grant that helped fund his aviation courses.
      Kell said: “When I retired I put all my money into finishing my private licence off and going from one thing to the next; commercial licence, ground school etc.
      “After I retired I received some insurance money and I thought I would never lay my hands on that sort of cash again so, rather than put an extension on my house or something like that, I thought ‘this is my career so let’s do something with it’.
      “Aviation will last you up until you’re 60-65 years old so it’s a long-term investment.
      “Footballers can get funnelled down the path of coaching or management but there is a lot more out there and it’s worked out really well for me.”
      Kell has one piece of advice to pass on to players, especially in the lower leagues.
      “My main advice would be that players only tend to think about an alternative career during difficult periods in their careers. Try and capitalize and think of your transition when things are going well.”

      by

      But Tyson, 55 – who made his comeback against Roy Jones Jr in 2020 – has also had his say on how he’d fare against some of the current best in the heavyweight division.
      From British stars Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, to the Bronze Bomber, Deontay Wilder, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ has revealed how each fight would go.
      Check out what he makes of the hypothetical super-fights…
      MIKE TYSON vs TYSON FURY
      Tyson reckons he’d have Fury’s number in the ring in his prime
      Back to his dangerous best, 6ft 9in Fury beat Wilder in Las Vegas in 2021 to clinch the WBC and The Ring magazine belts.
      And he kept them with a homecoming win over Dillian Whyte earlier this year.
      Tyson has been a fan of Fury’s since before his rise to the very top – having watched the controversial draw in his first fight with Wilder.
      Tyson claimed: “In the first fight I was hoping for Tyson Fury, I always pulled for him because he was named after me, that is the natural thing to do, right?
      “He amazed a lot of people by getting up. He showed he is tough, he got up and won the final round.

      “I thought it was over, then he got up and it was like Rocky, he then fought back.
      “It was amazing, it made me a fan. It takes great fortitude and belief.”
      But, as with AJ, Tyson revealed he’d beat his namesake if he was in his prime – while admitting it would have been tough.
      The American said: “Listen, if you’re asking me if I was 20 years old, then yes, there’s no doubt.
      “They’re really good fighters and I respect all these skills. It would have been very tough fighting them.”
      MIKE TYSON vs ANTHONY JOSHUA
      Mike Tyson reckons he’d beat Joshua in his prime, but admitted he’s a ‘beautiful’ boxer
      The former WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO champion, AJ was stunned by Oleksandr Usyk and lost his belts late in 2021.
      Tyson revealed: “Hey, I really like him. You know what he is? He’s really a breath of fresh air.
      “He’s really clean, he really looks clean, he’s a clean guy, he’s a clean fighter, he’s a good puncher.
      “You just wish the best for him.
      “I don’t know. My ego says, ‘nobody would beat you’ – but you look at him and… he just looks beautiful.
      “He just looks like a fighter, you know? He looks like he was born to do what he has to do. He needs more experience of course, but that will come in life.”
      Despite remaining fairly tight-lipped on that occasion – while speaking on his Hotboxin’ podcast – Tyson had previously claimed he would easily beat Joshua.
      When asked if he’d beat AJ or Fury, Tyson replied: “Yes. Listen, if you’re asking me if I was 20 years old, then yes, there’s no doubt.
      “They’re really good fighters and I respect all these skills. It would have been very tough fighting them.”MIKE TYSON vs DEONTAY WILDER
      Tyson has no doubts in his mind he’d beat Wilder in his prime
      Wilder might have lost out to Fury in their trilogy – but he’s back on the boxing trail after rumours he was about to hang up his gloves.
      The Bronze Bomber has claimed his hard-hitting style would see him beat Tyson.
      Wilder claimed: “Me vs. Tyson in ’86, I’d kick the hell outta that guy.
      “Listen, I’ve got to keep it real. I know people always go back to the old school or look at the new school and there’s no school where I’m not No1 on earth.”
      Replying to those comments before his defeat to Fury, Tyson was typically diplomatic, saying: “I don’t know [whether I’d beat him].
      “I love the fact that he thinks that, because that’s the way I would think as well.
      “He’s supposed to think that way, he is the heavyweight champion of the world and that’s something very special.”
      But Tyson’s former trainer, Jeff Fenech, was in no doubt as to who would win…
      Fenech said: “Boxing’s not the same now. I’d guarantee that if Mike Tyson trained for six weeks, he’d knock Wilder out in a minute.
      “He would hit them. If these guys are getting knocked out by Tyson Fury – who’s a great fighter, but not a huge puncher – Tyson would kill these guys.
      “They’re not on the same level today. Mike today, I reckon if he trained he could still beat these guys.
      “Fury’s got these other skills, but Deontay Wilder’s got a punch and nothing else. If you punch him, it’s over.
      “And Mike don’t miss.”
