      Brave electrician Josh Padley wins over fans with amazing Mike Tyson tattoo and spirit in loss to world champ Stevenson

      by

      JOSH PADLEY put on the performance of a lifetime to take pound-for-pound American superstar and three-weight king Shakur Stevenson nine rounds.The 29-year-old Doncaster electrician was crawling through roofs on Tuesday, installing solar powers for a daily rate.Josh Padley took on Shakur Stevenson in Riyadh for a world titleCredit: GettyFans were quick to notice Padley had some unusual inkThe incredible ink shows Mike Tyson punching ZeusBut, when American Floyd Schofield pulled out of the fight with a mystery illness, the fearless super-sub called his long-suffering boss to book a very short-notice holiday for a shot at the WBC lightweight world title and boxing greatness.Before the shock call came, Padley had plans to work all week and then spend the weekend doing DIY in his new home.But instead he made mouthy Stevenson look like a flat-pack bully who needed every ounce of strength and skill to overcome a man who does the sport part-time.Padley did Yorkshire and the nation proud in the opener, throwing right hands at Stevenson’s toned body and tricking him with clever feints.READ MORE ON BOXINGThe lairy champion grinned when the challenger dared attack him but Padley was utterly fearless.And it wasn’t long before his remarkable back tattoo caught fans’ attention on the PPV.The 29-year-old has a bizarre ink featuring legendary heavyweight Mike Tyson.In the huge tatt, Tyson is seen punching Greek god Zeus square in the face. Most read in BoxingOne fan gasped: “One thing I can say about Padley so far is that’s a hard-a** tattoo on his back.”While another said: “That Padley tatt goes hard.”BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSStevenson landed some wicked combinations in the second – just after Padley’s little pocket of fans took over the Riyadh arena with a ‘Padley Wonderland’ chorus.But the brave Brit ate the shots up and threw back his own, defying all the ratings between them.Frank Warren’s Commonwealth Gold medalist Lewis Williams builds to second pro fight | Contender Watch the full episode of Contender on Sun Sport’s YouTube channel NOW as we exclusively go behind the scenes with Lewis WilliamsThe third was nip and tuck too, right until the final seconds when Stevenson unloaded a volley of expert blows that buzzed the Englishman and buckled his legs, thankfully the bell came right on cue.Stevenson’s promises of a brief and one-sided beatdown were proven totally empty by the fourth, when Padley again soaked up his best work and tagged him back.By the fifth Stevenson had to try dirty tricks, slashing a southpaw lead hook at Padley when the ref had ordered them to break.But Padley was then hurt by a legitimate body punch that robbed him of his lungs but not his heart and he tucked up and slashed back, to hear another bell.There was a lone and soft female fan in the darkness somewhere shouting “Go on Josh!” all through the sixth, when he needed it most.Padley was deep under fire and taking a beating but he refused to melt and even backed Stevenson back onto the ropes twice and hurled shots back like a hero.Stevenson landed a sickening body shot in the seventh, a normal man would have folded in half and taken the payday.But Padley bit down on his gumshield, sucked in the agony and ended the session hurling shots back as he continued to humble the Floyd Mayweather protege.This was supposed to be a one-sided massacre but the only thing getting slaughtered was Stevenson’s reputation and standing in the pound-for-pound list. Padley was simply magnificent and making a mockery of every ranking and rating in the entire convoluted sport.Padley did take an eight count in the ninth when one body blow too many took its toll.READ MORE SUN STORIESAnd he was back on the canvas seconds later when another rib shaker left him gasping.Shakur got his hat-trick of ninth-round knockdowns right on the bell and his team threw in the towel to end the incredible showing of super-human courage from the working-class hero at the right time.

      COLEEN ROONEY has revealed how she felt “ashamed” when husband-to-be Wayne went tat-too far with his teenage love.But the awkward etching exchange ended with him explaining they would be “together forever”.Wayne and Coleen have been married for 16 yearsCredit: GettyAn unexpected phone call led to an uncomfortable incidentCredit: GettyColeen, 38, and the 39-year-old Manchester United legend wed in 2008.But now she’s told of some tricky moments from the past, as well as the pressure Wayne’s status has sometimes put on their family.And one episode in particular stands out – from even before they got engaged in 2003 when she was 17.It began when Coleen got a shock as the childhood sweethearts prepared to go out.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLShe explained to Sky Bet’s Stick To Football podcast, hosted by ex-United defender Gary Neville, how it started with an odd phone call.The 2024 I’m a Celebrity runner-up told Nev: “We were going to a party as one of our friends was turning 18, who was a bit older than us.“That day, I got a phone call, and it was his cousin who asked me if I spelled my name with one L or two L’s.“I said one L and asked why, and he said he was in the town with Wayne who was getting a tattoo!”Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSIt appears it could have spelt disaster for him – but instead he found ‘one L’ of a way to get out of it.Coleen continued: “He walks into the party with his top off, showing everyone – I felt ashamed.Rooney has bagged a new role for 2025 as house husband – after blowing the final whistle on his manager job with failing Plymouth Argyle“He told me it was fine because we were going to be together forever.”She also recalls one of their four kids, 15-year-old son Kai, missing a spot-kick “a few years ago” because of an insult about Wayne.Coleen said: “Kai stepped up and just skied it.”Afterwards I asked him how he could take a penalty like that, and he told me he was just fuming as the goalkeeper was saying: ‘Your dad’s sh*t’ and he got dead angry.“It doesn’t happen to him very often, but it did then… He’s strong-minded though and usually shrugs it off.”Kai, now 15, has put it behind him – as he’s now a junior with the Red Devils, and a lethal striker like his dad.Meanwhile, ex-England skipper Wayne is looking for a new job after Championship bottom side Plymouth sacked him as boss a fortnight ago.Wayne Rooney’s record-breaking careerWAYNE Rooney took the football world by storm when he made his debut for 2002 with Everton.He quickly became the club’s youngest-ever goalscorer aged 16 years and 342 days and was named the BBC’s Young Sports Personality of the Year.The striker joined Manchester United in 2004 and spent 13 years at Old Trafford.

United and Derby County at the end of his career.As well as his impressive club career, Rooney is also England’s second-highest goalscorer with 53 goals in 120 appearances, behind only Harry Kane.After hanging up his boots, the England icon turned to a career in management.He took charge of Derby County in 2020 and managed to just about save the club from relegation from the Championship at the end of his first season.However, with Derby handed a 21-point deduction the following campaign, he was unable to keep them up again and subsequently left.Then came a 15-month spell in charge of MLS side D.C. United. He failed to impress during his time in Washington and parted ways with the club at the end of the 2023 regular season.Rooney was controversially handed the Birmingham job in October 2023, replacing John Eustace with the club doing well and sixth in the Championship table.However, in 15 games he suffered nine defeats and managed just two wins. He was sacked in January 2024 with Birmingham down in 20th. The club were relegated to League One at the end of the campaign.He returned to management in May with Plymouth Argyle but managed just five wins in 25 games. The United legend now finds himself out of work once again. More
