      A fourth joked: “About to invent the Formula E competition 😉.”
      The sport has seen a number of F1 stars try their hand at the format, such as former Alfa Romeo driver Antonio Giovinazzi.
      Current AlphaTauri driver Nyck de Vries also won the world championship for it in 2021.

      The British team were joined by their own celebrity in the paddock this week, this being Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
      The tempers in the sport are not far off F1 either, with Dan Ticktum slamming Jake Dennis following a collision earlier this season.
      Red Bull unveiled a special livery ahead of the race, which they hope will not impact Max Verstappen or Sergio Perez as they bid to make it five wins from five for Red Bull.

      ‘Can you not read?’ – KSI and Tommy Fury erupt into Twitter spat amid rumoured talks for celebrity boxing fight

      by

      KSI and Tommy Fury erupted into a Twitter spat amid rumoured talks for a celebrity boxing fight between the two. YouTube, music and influencer boxing star KSI looked on course to finally settle his score with arch rival Jake Paul this year.

      But those plans look to have faced the KO after Paul was beaten by Fury in February by split-decision in Saudi Arabia.
      KSI has since revealed he now wants to instead face Fury and finish what Paul started.
      He tweeted: “I’d much rather fight and beat Tommy Fury so I can ruin Jake Paul’s legacy.”
      But a shocked Fury, 23, responded: “Wait. Beat who?”

      To which KSI, 29, bluntly fired back: “Beat you. Can you not read?”
      Paul, 26, snubbed a Fury rematch or talks with KSI to instead return on August 5 in Texas against 38-year-old ex-UFC star Nate Diaz.
      So KSI will refuse to wait around for Paul and instead try to one-up his arch enemy by beating Fury.
      He told SunSport: “I want Tommy Fury, simple as that. I’m not going to waste my time with Jake Paul.

      “He wants to fight Nate Diaz, an MMA fighter who isn’t known for his boxing; black belt in jujitsu, blah, blah, blah.
      “Maybe in the UFC ring it would be a bit more entertaining, in the MMA ring yeah, but in the boxing ring everyone just knows Jake is going to win that.
      “I’m not just going to waste my time, I’m going to go straight for Tommy and do what Jake Paul couldn’t.”
      KSI returns on May 13 at Wembley Arena against millionaire nightclub tycoon-turned 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40.
      But in the background, his promoter Kalle Sauerland revealed ongoing negotiations with Fury and his dad John.
      And KSI insisted the talks to face the brother of unbeaten heavyweight champion Tyson is no publicity stunt.
      He said: “It’s so funny, because a lot of people think it’s all cap.
      “A lot of people think I’m just chatting out my a***. Does it look like I’m chatting out my a***?
      “We’re working on it, man. Just a few thing but I think we’re very close and I’m pretty sure, fingers crossed by next week, we’ll see.”

      Conor McGregor brutally reacts to Manny Pacquiao’s huge £6.8million court battle with now-deleted tweet

      by

      CONOR McGREGOR has responded in a now-deleted tweet following Manny Pacquiao’s huge £6.8million court battle.Pacquiao in 2020 signed with Paradigm Sports management, who also represent the company’s highest-earner McGregor.

      But PacMan failed to have a fight under Paradigm and was instead sued for breach of contract.
      Following a case in California, Pacquiao was left to owe $8m (£6.3m), with £4m in damages, £1.7m in legal fees and additional 10 percent annual interest on the verdict amount for three years.
      McGregor, 34, took to social media, reacting to the news by posting: “And don’t let it happen again, @MannyPacquiao.”
      And in a now-deleted tweet, he added: “Manny owes 8 in all. 5.1 he owes and then 2.1 in legal costs.

      “Legal fees are heavy but that’s what we do. Heavy weight operations.”
      Paradigm signed Pacquiao, 44, as a client three years ago amid rumours of a fight with McGregor, who lost to Floyd Mayweather in 2017.
      A bout with Mikey Garcia was also in the works until Pacquiao was later announced to be facing Errol Spence Jr.
      American Spence, 33, pulled out injured and was replaced by Yordenis Ugas, who won the fight and sent Pacquiao into retirement.

      But Paradigm alleged that Pacquiao’s other representatives –  Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions – interfered with their deal.
      It led to Paradigm filing the lawsuit, which Pacquiao lost when the jury ruled that he acted in bad faith.
      The Orange County jury voted 9-3 in favour of Paradigm in the case.
      Paradigm CEO Audie Attar said in a statement: “We are elated to learn of the jury’s ruling in Paradigm’s favor in our suit against Manny Pacquiao.
      “The jury plainly found that Pacquiao testified falsely in denying Paradigm’s claims against him, and his excuses for his conduct proves our case that a breach of contract was committed.
      “Hopefully, Manny will have learned a lesson from the verdict and will henceforth act with the honesty and integrity that was so lacking in his treatment of Paradigm.”
      Pacquiao retired as a professional following defeat to Ugas, 36, but returned last December for an exhibition bout.
      The Filipino icon has revealed his next exhibition is set for the summer while he has also opened the door to a full boxing comeback.

      In doing so, he set a new record for most goals in a single Premier League season, eclipsing the 34 from Shearer in 1994/95 and Andy Cole in 1993/94.
      After Haaland’s 35th league goal, Gary Lineker tweeted: “A Premier League record for @ErlingHaaland. 35 goals. That’s nuts.
      “Thoughts are with @alanshearer at this difficult time.”
      In response, Shearer replied: “Couldn’t have wanted it to go to a nicer guy. It’s only taken 28 years!!!! He’s the best 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.”

      Haaland has scored his 35 Premier League goals in just 31 games this season.
      He still has five matches remaining to add to his remarkable record.
      And he also has his sights set on Dixie Dean’s single-season record of 63 goals in all competitions in England.
      Haaland is on 51 and will have to score 13 in Man City’s final eight games if he is to break the 95-year-old landmark.

      Conor McGregor shares highlight reel of Floyd Mayweather bout and is convinced he can ‘get the job done in second fight’

      McGregor gave a valiant account of himself in the early rounds but eventually succumbed to fatigue and was stopped in the tenth.
      A fan of the UFC superstar shared a highlight reel of the Irishman’s ninth-round display against Money on Twitter early on Wednesday morning, which Mystic Mac quickly reflected on.
      The UFC’s first simultaneous two-weight champion tweeted: “Round 9. I was playing ping pong with this guys head in there at many times in this fight.”
      SunSport revealed in January 2021 that talks over a blockbuster rematch between the pair had taken place.
      READ MORE ON CONOR MCGREGOR
      Last September, Mayweather confirmed that negotiations over a second showdown had resumed.
      And McGregor has no doubt in his mind that he’d get the better of the 46-year-old second time around.
      He continued: “If you don’t think there is some real nice adjustments that can be made and implemented in a second fight, to get the job finished, you’re silly.”
      McGregor, 34, is currently gearing up to make his eagerly-anticipated return to the octagon.

      The UFC’s poster boy hasn’t set foot inside the cage since breaking his leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier last July.
      McGregor’s comeback fight is set to be against fellow fan favourite Michael Chandler – who he coached opposite on season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter.
      But a date for their mouthwatering showdown has yet to be finalised.
      That’s because McGregor is currently out of the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s testing pool – which he must be in for a minimum of six months before he’s eligible to compete.
      The UFC could, however, could grant their poster boy an exemption to the requirement.
      McGregor launched a stinging attack on USADA in March when they re-affirmed his requirement to be in the pool for six months.

      The enraged Irishman tweeted: “This is my issue. I’ve not lied once.
      “Nor have I tested positive. Ever.
      “I have over 70 clean tests under this program, yet they are consistently coming out after I speak in a manner that makes it seem I am lying.
      “It’s ridiculous. F**k used. You are in The Bin. Over 70 clean tests.

      Man Utd fans convinced Erik ten Hag’s ‘lost the plot’ after claiming result against ‘rubbish’ Spurs was ‘good draw’

      But Spurs fought back to earn a point against United thanks to strikes from Pedro Porro and Heung-min Son.
      Old Trafford chief Ten Hag has plenty of credit in the bank after ending the club’s trophy-drought in February by lifting the Carabao Cup and has also guided them to the FA Cup Final where they will meet neighbours City on June 3.
      However, he has suffered some humiliating results along the way during his first term in charge, such as the 7-0 thrashing at Liverpool.
      And he has come under criticism from some quarters of the Stretford End by stating last night’s result “was a good draw”.

      Ten Hag said: “Some thought 90 per cent was enough. I know they are not robots and fatigue is an issue but you have to give it everything on every occasion. That is the basis.
      “We took a bit of the gas off and that was our problem. I think it’s been that for a few games where we are sharp and coming ahead and [haven’t] kept it going.
      “We are disappointed – we were 2-0 up. We had the chances to make it 3-1 which we didn’t take.
      “We were not good over the 90 minutes, we did not play brilliant. After half-time, being up 2-0, we had to score another goal.

      “We need energy and we have to be ready for Sunday (against Aston Villa). But in the end, good draw.”
      Supporters quickly took to Twitter after hearing that final comment with one saying: “Ten Hag just said 2-2 is a good draw has he lost the plot.”
