      Tyson Fury fight with WWE champ Drew McIntyre would break box office records as chief Triple H urges boxer to ring him

      by

      TYSON FURY’S fight with WWE champion Drew McIntyre has been tipped to break box office records as Triple H urged the Gypsy King to call him.
      The heavyweight duo were first linked with a mega wrestling showdown after McIntyre became WWE king in April.

      Scot McIntyre, 35, defeated Brock Lesnar to claim the crown.
      And he soon called out Fury for a ‘Battle of Britain’ showdown.
      Fury, 32, is no stranger to wrestling having made a high-profile cameo when he beat Braun Strowman at the WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia last October.
      Then at the weekend the WBC belt holder Fury released a video on social media calling out McIntyre for that fight.

      Another post on Tuesday followed and suddenly the possibility of Fury stepping back into wrestling was another step closer – before or after his trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder.
      So after Fury’s Twitter posts, Triple H told Fury it was simple – if he wanted to fight he just needs to give WWE’s executive vice president a call.
      Triple H said: “We could make Drew McIntyre v Tyson Fury work out, Tyson has got my number – we will make a call.
      “Tyson Fury is one of those fighters that sometimes now finds himself in a position where, does Anthony Joshua want to fight him?

      “Does Deontay Wilder want the rematch? Because he has proven to be maybe next-level from everybody.

      “If you are able to make a super-fight, a mega-fight like a WWE champion Drew McIntyre, like a world champion in Tyson Fury in boxing, I think we sell out massive stadiums, do record global box office business and that is what is all about – so my phone is on.”
      Fury drew in huge numbers for his WWE win over Strowman last year.
      And it also earned the 6ft 9ins giant a whopping £11.9million.
      Asked what Fury adds to wrestling, Triple H continued: “He brings different eyeballs in.
      “When someone like Tyson Fury comes in, he brings a sport aspect to this, he brings a boxing world championship and a popularity in something totally different that helps eyeballs across the board.
      “We gave him a platform to be the entertainer that he was born to be, sometimes he has that in boxing but the platform at that level for the entertainment pieces isn’t as big.
      “It is a win-win for both, Tyson is one of the most professional people I have ever worked with across the board – I spent a lot of time with him a few years ago and I would love to have him back.”

      MIKE TYSON trained with WWE legend Kurt Angle in preparation for his boxing comeback.

      Mike Tyson trained with WWE legend Kurt Angle in preparation for his boxing comeback
      Tyson has been training since March for his return, under the guidance of MMA coach Rafael Cordeiro.
      But the Reformed Baddest Man on The Planet called in the help of retried former UFC champion Henry Cejudo, 33, and pro wrestler Angle, 51.
      Angle shared a picture of all three on Instagram, and wrote: “#SmartCups Ambassadors @henry_cejudo @miketyson and yours’ truly, at a training session today.”
      Further footage shared online by pad man Cordeiro revealed Tyson’s intense training session as he fired off quick combinations and explosive footwork.

      His pay-per-view return faced the axe after it was moved by two months having previously been set for September.
      Jones threatened to pull out unless he was compensated for the extra weeks added, having argued it affected his business outside of the ring.
      But the American former four-division champion confirmed he will he WILL fight heavyweight legend Tyson after coming to terms over the rescheduling.

      Fury, 32, has not stopped training since his sensational February Las Vegas win over the Bronze Bomber and insists he needs a fight of any kind to keep his mind healthy.
      Fury wrestled for the American grappling firm, previously known as WWF, in Saudi Arabia last year when he was letting a cut heal before battering Wilder.
      But now he is in a social-media war of words with champ Drew McIntyre of Scotland and rumours of an all UK-clash for the top belt are growing, especially as both showmen star exclusively on BT Sport.
      Fury said: “I am a gym junkie, I need to fight and I want to work.

      “I have been training non-stop and I am ready for a fight — any fight — anywhere.
      “If Wilder cannot do the rematch then who knows who I’ll fight.

      Logan Paul calls out YouTubers for $10,000 wrestling match as fans hit back over his ‘staged videos and pranks’

      by

      LOGAN PAUL has called out influencers on social media as he offered $10,000 (£7,637) to anyone that can beat him in a wrestling match.
      It is unclear whether the 25-year-old wants to take part in an amateur contest or a professional meeting inside the ring.

      $10,000 to any influencer who can beat me in a wrestling match
      — Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) August 10, 2020

      Paul – known to be a huge fan of WWE – boasts an impressive amateur background having participated in the sport in high school.
      He even qualified for the Ohio High School Athletic Association Division I Individual Championships in 2013.
      Since then he has been involved in two boxing fights – both of them against fellow YouTuber KSI – with their first fight ending in a draw.
      For their rematch, the duo turned professional, with KSI edging out his rival on points.

      And Paul has tweeted he is eager for another fight to happen, only this time in wrestling.
      He tweeted: “$10,000 to any influencer who can beat me in a wrestling match.”
      Fans were quick to poke fun at his challenge, as one quipped: “Isn’t wrestling staged, just like all your videos and pranks?”

      A third added: “Why do I feel like I’m watching The Ladies Man all over again with Logan Paul playing Will Ferrell’s role?”

      From Cristiano Ronaldo’s five naps a day to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s four-hour snooze.. how much sports stars sleep

      by

      BEING one of the most well known sporting icons on the planet is tiring work.
      But rather than sleep all night, Cristiano Ronaldo instead takes FIVE naps a day while Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson snoozes for just four hours to keep himself going.

      17

      Cristiano Ronaldo takes FIVE naps-a-day
      Earlier this month, it emerged Juventus superstar Ronaldo, 35, grabs 40 winks five times each day and sleeps in the foetal position.
      And here SunSport can reveal the different sleep patterns of several other sporting icons from across the globe and how many hours of ‘Zzz’ time they get, according to Online Mattress Review.
      Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson – 4 hours

      17

      17

      The WWE icon turned movie star hits the sack for just four hours-a-night.
      At 48, Hawaiian born Johnson clocks off between midnight and is up and about again at 4am.

      Presumably to work out at least 25 times a day to maintain his impressive physique.
      Muhammad Ali – 6.5 hours

      17

      Muhammad Ali was a religious man and slept for 6.5 hours after dinner and prayers

      17

      The greatest boxer of all time put many opponents to sleep in his time and would wind down between 10pm and 4:30am.
      As a devout Muslim, much of his time would be split between prayer and training.
      And his evening routine would include a walk after dinner, a quick wash, prayers and short stint in front of the TV before he dozed off.

      Serena Williams – 7 hours

      17

      17

      Serena Williams clocks up a solid seven hours of sleep after socialising and work
      You do not need hawk eye to tell when Serena is out for the count but we can neither confirm or deny whether her snoring makes a racket.
      The tennis sensation takes a solid seven hour sleep between midnight and 7am each day after a post-dinner routine of socialising and work.
      The 38-year-old former world number one is also a mum of a young daughter so her slumbers are no doubt interrupted by the littl’un every now and then.
      Cristiano Ronaldo – 7.5 hours

      17

      Ronaldo sleeps in the fetal position to stay in top shape aged 35

      17

      Ronaldo has perhaps the oddest routine of all the big stars.
      Rather than one lump of rest at the end of each day like most of us, Ronnie reportedly prefers to take short naps of an hour-and-a-half each time throughout the day.
      After dinner, he relaxes with his friends before a swim at 10pm.
      He then takes one of his signature naps until midnight and relaxes until another short burst of sleep from around 3am before waking up for the day.
      Ronda Rousey – 8 hours

      17

      MMA star Rousey does not mess around when it comes to getting the right amount of rest

      17

      MMA and WWE star Rousey’s routine seems pretty standard.
      Eight hours between midnight and 8am.
      Nice and simple.
      Tiger Woods – 8.5 hours

      17

      Tiger Woods – perhaps the greatest golfer in history – spends more than a third of his day asleep

      17

      Woods is generally considered the best golfer of all time.
      And to maintain such high levels, the superstar spends eight and a half hours dreaming of sinking putts and splitting fairways.
      He snoozes from 10pm to 6:30am – proving the early birdie really does catch the worm.
      Tom Brady – 9 hours

      17

      Tom Brady is widely considered the best quarter-back ever to play American Football and he does not compromise when it comes to rest

      17

      Like Woods, Brady is considered the greatest ever in his field.
      The former New England Patriots quarter-back is revered in across the world for his sustained and unrivalled talent.
      And the 42-year-old – who is still playing for the Tampa Bay Bucacaneers – makes sure he touches down to sleep for nine hours each day between 8:30pm and 5:30am.

      Stephen Curry – 9 hours

      17

      NBA star Stephen Curry is one of the longest sleepers on the list with a solid nine hours

      17

      Basketball star Stephen Curry is another record breaker who is set to go down in the NBA history books.
      The Golden State Warriors point guard is another who does not take rest lightly – opting to hit the hay for nine hours between 11pm and 8am every day.
