      Whyte will be guaranteed £6m for turning up to face 6ft 9in Fury and if he wins he’ll see his pay increased to £9m.
      Despite being unsatisfied with the purse split being 80/20 in the Gypsy King’s favour, Whyte has agreed to his shot at the big time and the chance to hand Fury his first ever defeat.
      And he has every confidence he can become the first man to beat Fury after allegedly flooring him already.
      Speaking during a previous appearance on The Boxing Show on Sky Sports News, he said: “He’s the one that come out and said he beat me up in the gym and stuff like that. I can tell you now, that didn’t happen.
      “I don’t like telling sparring stories, but people in the game know. They know about me.
      “Well, me and Tyson Fury sparred and I bashed him about and dropped him on multiple occasions. Simple as that.

      “If I was such an easy fight, why is he not in any rush to fight me? He said before beating Wilder, ‘When I beat Wilder, I’m going to give Dillian Whyte his title shot.’ He just talks rubbish. This is war, let’s go.”
      Whyte has also claimed that Fury refused to a mandated fight against him for the WBC diamond belt.
      The Body Snatcher added: “It makes me angry and it frustrates me because Tyson Fury refused to fight me in a mandated fight for the WBC diamond belt.
      “And they took my mandatory position away and gave it to Tyson Fury after he fought Otto Wallin who was ranked around 1,000,000 in the world.
      “It’s a joke, how can he fight Tom Schwarz and Otto Wallin and then be the WBC mandatory contender after I have been beating top-ten guys back-to-back?”
      However, Fury seems to have a different recollection of events between him and Whyte and called the Londoner out as a liar.
      He told BT Sport: “Dillian Whyte is a bum, untrue. Dillian Whyte couldn’t drop his granny, never mind the ‘Gypsy King.
      “Who has Dillian Whyte ever dropped, Lucas Browne…please. Who else, who has he ever dropped?
      “I’ve never seen him drop anyone.
      “He even had to cheat Dereck Chisora out of a fight, grabbing him and holding him because Eddie Hearn told him to. What a bum…useless!” More

      The Body Snatcher managed to defeat the future world champion via a unanimous points verdict in an all-out brawl.
      However, Whyte later revealed that he only received the small sum for the fight – but sounded very happy with his pay cheque.
      He told Carl Froch’s podcast: “I remember, I had an amateur fight somewhere and I beat the guy, I think it was the Joshua fight, and the coach comes to me and he gave me like 300 quid and he said, ‘this is your exes,’ and I was like ‘what?’.
      “So you’re telling me I get paid to beat people up? And he went, ‘yeah, here are your exes’.
      “So I was shocked, I never came from a sporting background, I ain’t had no big amateur career.
      “I had no-one to look after me and tell me whatever, no-one in my family did anything sport-wise.”

      Whyte, 33, added: “I didn’t know how it worked, my coach said do you want to fight and I said yeah, cool, I don’t care I’ll fight anyone.
      “So he came to me and gave me [the money] and [I said], ‘so you’re telling me I can beat guys up and don’t get in trouble and I get paid’. I was like, ‘when is the next fight then’.”
      Whyte and Joshua both moved into the pro ranks following successful amateur careers.
      They met again in December 2015 but this time Joshua, 31, got the win via knockout in the 7th round after being rocked by Whyte in the second.

      But now Whyte is set to earn the biggest payday of his professional boxing career on April 23.
      Whyte will pocket £6million for his WBC heavyweight title clash against Tyson Fury.
      And if he upsets the odds, he’ll be handed a £3m bonus taking his pay up to £9m in total.
      Joshua, on the other hand, is preparing for a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk, who he lost his WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles to last year. More

      UFC star Khabib’s manager claims YouTuber Jake Paul would ‘beat the s***’ out of Conor McGregor and his teammates

      by

      KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV’S manager has claimed Jake Paul would ‘beat the s***’ out of Conor McGregor and all his team-mates. YouTuber Paul has been relentlessly pursuing a boxing match with McGregor and even claimed he sent the UFC star a $50million (£37m) deal.

      It came after he called The Notorious an ‘Irish c***’ and insulted his fiancee Dee Devlin last year.
      The viral callout earned the respect of Nurmagomedov’s manager Ali Abdelaziz – who himself has a bitter rivalry with McGregor.
      Abdelaziz told TMZ Sports: “Jake Paul, I like this kid. You know why? Because he is real.
      “When he talked about Conor’s wife, [Paul] said [McGregor] talked about Khabib’s wife. I like Jake Paul.
      “I think he’ll beat the s**t out of Conor, Conor’s team-mates, all these guys.
      “I like his brother too. Logan Paul, I like these kids, they make something from nothing. Even Mike Tyson likes these kids. Mike is my friend.”

      Man Utd legend Rio Ferdinand reveals his most ‘enjoyable’ football came at Leeds and tipped them for Prem success

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED legend Rio Ferdinand has admitted that his “most enjoyable football” came during his time at Leeds United.The former England star moved to Elland Road from West Ham in 2000, spending two years in Yorkshire before departing for Old Trafford.

      And while he won countless trophies as a Red Devil, Ferdinand, 43, still has plenty of nice things to say about rivals Leeds, who take on Man Utd this afternoon.
      Speaking to BT Sport in 2020 after Leed’s first few outings back in the top flight, Ferdinand gushed about his time at Elland Road.
      He said: “As much as there was a lot of talk about me going to Man United and it was emotional, for a lot of the fans it was difficult to accept.
      “But I think in the long term it was proven that the reasons why I went were justified, but I probably had my most enjoyable football when I played here [at Leeds].
      “I loved it at West Ham but we didn’t win that much, I loved it at Man United, we won a lot but with that came a lot of pressure.
      “So the enjoyment factor isn’t as free-spirited as it was when I was here at Leeds where we won a fair amount in terms of games, got to some good heights, Champions League semi-final etcetera, and there wasn’t that added pressure or expectations with it.

      “We were a young squad, all good lads, all socialised together as well and I just had some fantastic times here, really enjoyed my football here, enjoyed my time, the people were great.
      “Where I lived was fantastic so I’ve never had anything bad to say about Leeds. It’s always been somewhere that I’ve always appreciated at it was part of my journey.”
      Leeds succumbed to relegation two years after Ferdinand left for Manchester United.
      But after 16 years of hurt they made it back to the big time and their former defender believed that they can take the league by storm.
      Ferdinand was proved right last season as Marcelo Bielsa’s side as they finished in a remarkable ninth place after a year of swashbuckling football.
      Although now the Whites could be suffering from what some call ‘second season syndrome’.
      The Elland Road outfit have won just five Prem games this season and currently lie 15th in the table.
      Ferdinand continued: “Again, I think Leeds are a breath of fresh air for the league.
      “I think last [two] seasons [ago] Sheffield United took that mantle, they were the team that came up and surprised a few, a new system, but this has gone to another extreme.
      “The way that Leeds are set up, the way they play, they’re going to outrun most teams physically, but tactically they seem like a team that’s set up very, very well and you can see that there’s a lot of work that goes in on the training ground when you get to matchday because they do ask teams a lot of questions, whether it’s tactically or physically.

      “I think that we saw on the first day of the [last] season, against Liverpool, they could have won that game easily and they’re playing against the champions, so it tells you that they’re going to give a lot of teams a run for their money.
      “Fulham, they went out there and got the three points. I think that’s the thing they need to do, get points on the board, draw confidence from that and the tactics, they’ll be able to fall back on that, especially later down the line in the season when things settle down a little bit.”
      And Ferdinand, having watched a training session, was also awestruck by the work of manager Bielsa.
      He added: “I’ve got to be honest, Bielsa, I’ve heard a lot about him and people talk about how great he is.
      “A lot of people use the word scientist, he’s got a scientific approach to the game. He’s been around a long time but when you haven’t seen it and you go and see it, it’s a breath of fresh air.
      “It’s so informative, there’s a lot of questions in your mind when you’re watching them train. There’s a purpose behind every session, there’s no wastage in terms of time, very methodical.
      “It really interests me, really intriguing, I’d love to get a bit of time to speak to him, even through a translator just to understand how and why he’s got to this point.”

      Not much is known of Brook’s significant other, keeping herself private away from her husband’s fame.
      She is believed to be of the same age as Special K and her birthday is just a week after the Sheffield boxer’s on May 10.
      How many children do they have?

      The couple then welcomed their third child
      Who is Kell Brook fighting?
      Brook will take on bitter foe Amir Khan in Manchester.
      With both fighters past their primes, most are viewing the fight as a final cash-out for both Khan and Brook.
      But the entertainment value in the build-up has remained high, with both men exchanging barbs ahead of their Manchester clash.
      Khan jabbed in their Gloves Are Off episode on Sky Sports that Brook has been obsessed with him for years, while Brook accused his foe of ducking the fight all this time.
      ‘Special K’ then rejected the opportunity to shake Khan’s hand when the Bolton man offered his peacemaker.
      Khan vs Brook will take place in Manchester in front of a sold-out crowd of 20,000, with the main event expected to get underway at 10.30pm UK time. More

      That will help the talented Brit continue to fund his enviable lifestyle… even though he’s still some way short of new team-mate Hamilton’s mega £40m pay-grade.
      Russell currently rents a flat in an affluent area of London, but he has plans to join many F1 colleagues in millionaires’ playground Monaco.
      Away from the racing circuit, the Norfolk-born star drives a £140,000 car – fittingly a Mercedes AMG GT.
      He also manages to enjoy luxurious breaks away to stunning destinations like St Barts and Santorini, and is joined by glam girlfriend Carmen Montero Mundt.
      Russell already leads a playboy lifestyle, despite his tender years.

      KING’S LYNN TO A KING’S RANSOM
      Rising star Russell was born in King’s Lynn to father Steve and mother Alison.
      The youngest of three children, he has a sister, Cara and older brother, Benjy.
      He caught the racing bug when he started go karting at the age of seven alongside Benjy, who was involved in competitive karting.
      But by 18, he moved to Milton Keynes to be closer to British Formula 3 Championship racing team, Hitech.

      In early 2017, he joined Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport as a part of their junior driver programme.
      A year later, Williams announced that Russell had signed a multi-year deal to drive for their team.

      As soon as he was thrust into the spotlight, Russell’s love life was placed under the microscope.
      He met stunning Seychelle de Vries, who was once linked to Max Verstappen, when he raced in Formula 2 in 2017.
      They reportedly dated for three years, before calling it quits.
      Most recently, Russell has been seen with stunning Carmen Montero Mundt.
      Back in February, the pair were spotted on holiday in St Barts together kissing on a sunlounger and frolicking in the sea.
      While in August, Russell was spotted enjoying a break in Santorini.

      COMPANY CAR
      Call it fate, but Russell has always had a penchant for Mercedes.
      On top of his current swanky Mercedes AMG GT, he has always favoured the car manufacturer as his ride.
      He’s been spotted with TWO AMG C 63 motors that cost in the region of £80,000.
      Russell proudly displays his cars on social media to over two million followers.
      About the AMG GT, that’s capable of reaching 0-60mph in just three seconds, he wrote on Instagram: “Love my little rocket!”

      HE’S A STUDENT OF THE SPORT
      One of Russell’s many heroes is the late, great Niki Lauda.
      In 2017, the up-and-comer got the opportunity to meet his hero in Baku after a race.
      Lauda even took the student to a Black Eyed Peas concert, after meeting him at a hotel.
      Russell became friends with the three-time F1 champ, and would often lean on him for advice.
      During lockdown last year, Russell shared a picture of himself reading Lauda’s autobiography.
      While he was stuck at home when the coronavirus pandemic was at its height, he made sure he continued to workout and stay in shape.
      He also fitted an F1 simulator to polish up on his driving skills in his bedroom.

      HEALTHY LIVING
      Crucial to Russell’s is his diet plan.
      Regularly, he shares snaps on social media of what he eats – and it’s never unhealthy.
      From poke bowls to fresh salads, the athlete makes sure he’s putting the right food in his body.
      Coupled with going to the gym, it’s what keeps Russell in peak condition and lean for a race car.
      Aside from driving, and working out seven days a week, Russell also likes to play squash and get out on his mountain bike.
      LOVES SPORT
      Playing and competing in sport just isn’t enough for Russell.
      When he has some downtime, he’s happy to sit in front of the TV and watch a live event.
      During the Euros, he shared an image online cheering on England. The football fan is a devoted Wolves supporter, like his dad.
      While last year, he encouraged his followers to comment who they felt would win the Indy 500, which he was tuned into.

      And in 2019, he was in the stands at Twickenham to cheer on England against France in the Six Nations.
      This year, it will be Russell who will be hopeful of more fans cheering him in a Mercedes car.
      He might just give them something to shout about, should he pip Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen to the title.

      Khan and Sheffield-born Brook, both 35, finally face off in an all-British blockbuster in Manchester on Saturday after years of speculation.
      And back, in March 2021, Khan told talkSPORT that he was pushing for the fight to happen that summer.
      He said: “What’s the fight that everyone wants to see?
      “Everyone wants to see the Kell Brook fight. We’ve been talking about it for years and years.
      “Look, me and Kell are probably past our best, I’ll be honest. But at the same time, we’re both around the same age.
      “I think it’d be a good fight between us to see still who the number one is in Britain.”

      BETTING SPECIAL – GET KHAN AT HUGE 40/1 OR BROOK AT 30/1 FOR BOXING SHOWDOWN
      “So I called Eddie Hearn and I said ‘let’s make it happen’.
      “Eddie said ‘no worries’, spoke to Kell’s family and Kell’s father wasn’t interested in it. He said ‘no, we’re gonna look at other options’.
      “What other option is there for Kell Brook to make a good payday and fight someone with a big name like myself? Unless he fights someone with a world title or in America.
      “So I’m scratching my head man, I’m thinking like, ‘What’s he going through?’
      “What’s going on with Kell Brook? How come he doesn’t want the fight? Let’s make it happen.”
      Khan was in no doubt who would win if he did get his wish, adding: “The prediction for me and Kell Brook? I knock out Kell Brook in under six rounds.”
      Khan ultimately did not get his wish of a summer dust-up, but will now finally get a crack at his old foe.

      Back then he suggested he would ‘call it a day’ after facing Brook, but appears to have had a change of heart.
      Khan told BBC breakfast earlier this week: “After Sunday? Career still going strong. I’m still fighting.
      “I feel better at 35 than I was at 25, believe it or not.”
      Khan added: “I feel so strong, so fresh. I’ve got that love back for the sport again.
      “Training with the new team in Nebraska, they’ve brought the love back for me. I’m really excited to see what the future holds.” More
