      Ekow Essuman is the former basketball hopeful turned boxing champ looking to spoil Josh Taylor’s big comeback

      by

      EKOW ESSUMAN has had a slam dunk boxing career after leaving behind his hopes of being a basketball star. Essuman came to the UK from Botswana aged 11 and immigrated with a passion for sports. Ekow Essuman swapped basketball for footballCredit: GettyHe started playing basketball while at school and only began boxing in a bid to better his chances on the court. Essuman told Fight Post: “When I eventually moved to the UK, I got into football and then basketball and I was doing really well at basketball. “One season I went to some try-outs for a big team locally and I didn’t get in because I wasn’t fit enough. “They wanted me to be more ambidextrous. It really got to me and I wanted to better myself, get fitter and come back stronger for the next season. READ MORE IN BOXINGI gave it a go and my first session, I had two left feet and struggled with the bag.”I slowly got into it and it got to the point where I thought ‘I’ll have one bout’ and I just caught the bug.”Before long, Essuman was competing in national finals after only starting boxing at 17 and even earned himself a place on the GB squad. That was all while studying for a Marketing, Design and Communications degree at Nottingham Trent University.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSHe said: “It was initially just juggling the two. I’d take my uni work with me to camp and do it while between the training sessions and at night when we were meant to be resting. “Shortly after uni, I became a junior web developer for the A.G.A group. Josh Taylor reveals his toughest ever fight that left him peeing BLOOD for five days and unable to walk”I was working on up to 40 websites for them at the time, in different countries, in different languages as well. I was doing that whilst at GB. “But eventually when I got offered the podium spot, I had to put that to one side, as I was spending a lot of time with GB on camp, so I wouldn’t have been able to work from home in regards to web design.”Essuman eventually turned professional in 2016 with Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren. And over nine years and 22 bouts, he has become one of the best welterweights in the country with British and Commonwealth titles to his name. Essuman suffered defeat for the first time in 2023 – losing a decision to Harry Scarff – but he has since returned with two wins since. Now he welcomes former undisputed light-welterweight world champion Josh Taylor to the 147lb division this Saturday in Scotland. I gave it a go and my first session, I had two left feet and struggled with the bag. I slowly got into it and it got to the point where I thought ‘I’ll have one bout’ and I just caught the bug.Ekow EssumanAnd the two know each other well from their time in the GB set up in Sheffield.Essuman told Ring Magazine: “To be honest, I personally touted him as one of the higher talents on GB whilst I was there so I always had respect for him.”I was always just shooting from the hip of him, just being really honest and whatnot. “We’ve talked a few times as pros, just about matches we’d had and stuff like that, and the respect was always there. “He knows I respect him. I’ve been training hard for it because I know he’s going to pose a hard puzzle to solve but I am going to solve it.” Taylor was beaten by Teofimo Lopez in 2023 and then suffered defeat in his rematch with Jack Catterall last May. Read More on The SunAnd his career could be on the line when he returns up in weight. Essuman said: “Regardless of if he has the answers or not, he will come apart because I’m not going to let anything else happen but that.”Josh Taylor steps up to welterweight to fight EssumanCredit: Queensberry Promotions More

      Tyson Fury’s DMs to Jake Paul LEAKED as YouTuber gives scathing verdict on Love Island star’s comeback fight

      by

      JAKE PAUL revealed Tyson Fury has been DMing him behind the scenes to try and arrange a rematch for his brother Tommy.YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul suffered his first and so far only defeat to Tommy in a 2023 split-decision loss in Saudi Arabia. Jake Paul says Tyson Fury has been DMing him about rematching his brother TommyCredit: The AH ShowTyson Fury with his younger brother TommyCredit: Social Media – Refer to sourceSince then, the American has won five on the spin and most recently against heavyweight legend Mike Tyson in November. The bout was marred in controversy due to Tyson coming out of retirement aged 58 but still 100 MILLION watched on Netflix. Paul’s camp say Fury turned down a £6million offer to rematch on Netflix before Tyson accepted the deal. Fury meanwhile returned after nearly two years out with victory in Hungary against Bosnian Kenan Hanjalic. READ MORE IN BOXINGBut Paul told Ariel Helwani: “I think the Fury fight will happen in the next 12 months, yeah. He just has to be realistic about what’s he’s worth, right?”He just had a free fight on DAZN that tanked, couldn’t sell the tickets in wherever he was like a 1,000 person venue and he’s just negotiating like he’s God.”Again, I have ten names waiting to fight me in multiple different sports, MMA, boxing, all this stuff. “These people just have to be realistic about what they’re wanting to get paid and Tommy Fury isn’t.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS”But I DM’d Tyson Fury because Tyson was like, ‘You guys need to make this happen now.’ “I was like, ‘Tyson, you’ve got to put your brother in check here. He’s not going to get this money or this offer anywhere else.’Tommy Fury calls out ‘b****’ Jake Paul after making boxing comeback after 18 months”He already missed out on the massive opportunity on Netflix, his dad, who is his manager has no idea what the f*** he’s doing and you can’t let your dad run your career.”Tommy’s not his own boss, he’s an airhead as well so I just feel bad for him because he thinks he’s worth more than what he’s worth.” Fury, 26, beat KSI, 31, in October 2023 but had to have hand surgery in the aftermath before his comeback fight. Paul, 28, returns on June 28 against former middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39, in a cruiserweight clash. And he has a rematch with Fury in his sights, saying: “I just can’t wait to get back in there with this guy because in the past three years, I fought him two years into being a pro boxer now it’s been three years since then.”It’s just night and day and he hasn’t got any better, right? He’s been boxing since he was six years old, it’s going to be the same stuff, same coach, his dumbass dad.”He hasn’t got any better so I just can’t wait, seriously I can’t wait to get in there with him and whenever we can make that happen it’s going to be Christmas Day for me.”Tommy Fury beat Jake Paul in their 2023 fightCredit: AP More

      Ange Postecoglou does not know his Tottenham history if he thinks Europa League win will save him his job

      by

      IF ANGE POTSECOGLOU believes winning the Europa League could allow him to keep his Spurs job – he doesn’t know his Tottenham history.It was in 1984 that Keith Burkinshaw won his third trophy as Tottenham chief, with Tony Parks’ shoot-out heroics seeing off Anderlecht to win the Uefa Cup.Ange Postecoglou does not know his history if he thinks the Europa League will save his jobCredit: GettyKeith Burkinshaw won the trophy back in 1984 but was still given the bootCredit: GettyPostecoglou’s modern-day Spurs are out to win the same trophy in Bilbao on Wednesday.But like Yorkshireman Burkinshaw, Aussie Ange seems set for the exit door no matter what happens.Although the current Spurs hierarchy have kept their counsel about Postecoglou, back 41 years ago, Burkinshaw’s imminent departure was known for weeks – much to the frustration of his squad.Burkinshaw’s relationship with chairman Irving Scholar, always strained, had broken, irretrievably.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe manager believed it was his club, to manage as he saw fit.Scholar believed otherwise.The final, decisive breach came in March on the afternoon of the quarter-final second leg tie at Austria Vienna.Burkinshaw subsequently explained: “About 4pm in the afternoon he came to my bedroom with the assistant chairman.Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK“They said: ‘You’re not going to be allowed to run the club as you’ve been doing. We are going to bring in the players. We’re going to decide how much they will get as wages.’“And it went on and on. I said: ‘Don’t you think this is the wrong time to be coming in here, at 4pm when we’ve got a quarter final at quarter to eight….?’How Europa League final will be decided – four key Man Utd vs Tottenham tactical battles“That started it all off. In the end I knew he’d been looking for another manager. I knew of it. And he’d made a proposal to one of them.”That “another manager” was, in fact, Alex Ferguson, with Scholar under the impression that the then-Aberdeen boss wanted to come down to London.Burkinshaw and Scholar agreed there was only one way to resolve their differences, with his players turning his imminent departure into a cause.Graham Roberts, who skippered the side for the second leg in the absence of the suspended Steve Perryman, said: “We wanted to win it so much, not just for ourselves but also for Keith, because we all knew it was his last game at the club.“But it was a Cup Final, in front of our own fans. You don’t get the chance to do that very often in a career, if at all. It meant so much.”Burkinshaw’s departure brought one of the most withering farewell comments in the history of the game.Collared by waiting reporters as he walked away for the last time, he was ready to vent.Read More on The SunHe explained: “I was really sick about it. And the way the club was run was being changed.“Clubs were becoming Public Limited Companies. So they were being run as businesses rather than football clubs. So I said to one of the reporters, ‘This used to be a football club here.’”Man Utd vs Spurs – Europa League final: Kick-off time, TV channel and live stream info for Bilbao clash More
