      Eddie Hearn says Tyson Fury will have to personally phone up Anthony Joshua to rescue super-fight

      by

      EDDIE HEARN has urged Tyson Fury to get on the blower and personally arrange a fight with Anthony Joshua. The Great British blockbuster looks dead in the water with Fury refusing to go back on the retirement he announced in January. Tyson Fury has been urged by Eddie Hearn to phone up Anthony Joshua for a fightJoshua is yet to return since his KO loss to Daniel DuboisCredit: GettyStill AJ’s promoter Hearn has not lost hope yet – but argues only the Gypsy King can rescue the super-fight now.He told iFL TV: “I said it the other day in an interview, the way that fight gets made is probably Tyson reaches out to AJ and says, ‘Mate, do you fancy it?’ “And he’ll go, ‘100 per cent, let’s f***ing do it.’ And it’ll be made like that. So let’s see.”Fury, 36, lost his undefeated record and WBC belt in the same 12 rounds against Oleksandr Usyk, 38, in May. READ MORE IN boxingAnd he was beaten again by Usyk on points in December – before hanging up his gloves a month later. Joshua, 35, meanwhile has not fought since his September knockout loss to Daniel Dubois, 27, and a recent injury has delayed his return. It leaves him without a scheduled opponent – but Hearn warned they will not wait around forever to fight Fury. But he said: “This is not down to us going to the team. This is down to one man. Only one man can make this fight happen, and that’s Tyson Fury.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS”There’s one man that can make this fight happen and that’s Tyson Fury. We’re not waiting forever. “What I’m saying is if all of a sudden in a couple of months’ time, he comes out… but this ain’t about calling him out to fight AJ. Tyson Fury’s manager left ‘surprised’ by boxer and hints he will come out of retirement with cryptic comment“It’s got to come to him. He’s got to say, ‘Do you know what…’ “Oh, and by the way, he’s training every day. Looks great. He’s the one that has got to turn around and say [I want to fight Joshua].“And I don’t know him that well, but I know he’s a competitor and I know he loves to fight. “I know he loves the big nights. He’s a showman, and like many – don’t blame him – he likes a pound note.“I just know those two collectively could give each other the icing on the cake of a great career. “But only one man can make that happen, and we wish him well whatever he does.”Fury pictured with Joshua’s promoter HearnCredit: �Mark Robinson Photography/Matchroom More

      Jake Paul reveals what Anthony Joshua told him on phone after claiming Brit superstar ‘doesn’t have a chin’

      by

      JAKE PAUL has revealed what Anthony Joshua told him over the phone following his blistering blast and viral callout. YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul audaciously vowed to knock out two-time heavyweight world champion AJ. Jake Paul revealed what Anthony Joshua told him over the phoneJoshua and Jake Paul agreed to a 2026 fightCredit: Rex FeaturesAnd Joshua looked to quite literally call the American’s bluff by phoning Paul up to confront him. The pair then teased an agreement to fight in next year – with Paul opening up on his impromptu chat with Joshua. He said after the Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano press conference: “We’re going to plan that for 2026. I talked to Anthony on the phone. “He called me up and said, ‘I saw you call me out, let’s run it. Let’s make it happen.'” READ MORE IN boxing Paul moved up to heavyweight for his last fight when he controversially brought Mike Tyson out of retirement aged 58 in November.He weighed 16st 2lb and won over eight rounds – with 100 MILLION watching in what was Netflix’s first live boxing event. But Paul would still be TWO STONE lighter than Joshua, 35, who was 18st for his September KO loss to Daniel Dubois, 27. The American sent social media into a frenzy when he called out AJ on his podcast – and hit out at the 2012 Olympic gold medallist. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSPaul, 28, said: “I want to fight Anthony Joshua – exclusive – because I know I will f***ing beat Anthony Joshua’s ass.”He doesn’t have a chin, and he has no skill and he’s stiff. I love you Anthony, we’e friends, all this s*** but I want to fight you.” Shocking moment Jake Paul drops 20 stone heavyweight as fans say he would ‘end Anthony Joshua’s career’ Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed to SunSport that AJ is on board for the fight – and called to make it happen THIS YEAR. But Paul’s promotional partner, Nakisa Bidarian, hit back: “I saw Eddie Hearn made a comment around ‘Why 2026? Why not in 2025? It’s just clickbait.’ No, it’s not clickbait.”Jake realises he needs some more in-ring experience to be in the best position to hold his own against Anthony Joshua. So we’re not rushing into a fight against Joshua.”We’re not financially dependent on Jake having a fight against Anthony Joshua for 2025 for our business to flourish.”We’re gonna do at least two Jake Paul fights in 2025, and then we’ll definitely sit down with the appropriate parties to look at Jake Paul versus Anthony Joshua in 2026.”Paul was close to announcing a shock 200lb cruiserweight fight with Canelo Alvarez on May 3 in Las Vegas.But Canelo, 34, walked away at the 11th hour to instead sign a four-bout deal with Saudi’s Turki Alalshikh.Paul then considered an exhibition bout against WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis – who is seven stone lighter. But Davis, 30, is set to rematch Lamont Roach, 29, in the summer following their controversial draw. Read More on The SunPaul is due to reveal his next fight but said: “We do have an announcement next week but I’m just not going to leak anything.”We’ve had these fights pulled twice now at the one-yard line, Canelo, Gervonta, so I’m just not going to jinx it and say anything.” Jake Paul is preparing to announce his next fightCredit: Sportsfile More

      Unai Emery bizarrely claims there’s ‘not a lot of difference’ between losing 2-1 or 3-1 as Villa face uphill battle

      by

      UNAI EMERY bizarrely claimed there is “not a lot of difference” between losing either 2-1 or 3-1. Villa return from the French capital trailing by two goals against PSG after their Champions League quarter-final first leg. Unai Emery – TNT SPORTCredit: TNT SportMorgan Rogers cancelled out Desire Doue’s opener before goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Nuno Mendes gave PSG a commanding 3-1 lead. Mendes extended the score in added time – but Emery has not lost hope of overturning the deficit at Villa Park. He said: “More or less the expectation I had before the match happened. “[There is] not a lot of difference between 2 and 3-1 as we will play at home next week.READ MORE IN football “It will still be a huge challenge for us but we can feel strong at home with our supporters. “We needed to be defensively strong, lower than normal, but even when we were losing we had a free approach.”[There were] two shots from Morgan [Rogers] and one of Marco Asensio, the last goal, OK, but our mind is not changing a lot because we have to win at home now.” PSG – leading Ligue 1 by 22 POINTS – will travel to Villa Park on Tuesday.
