      The vessel had set sail from the Port of Santos just after the couple had got on board and Neymar got off.
      Carlos, 32, was declared missing as it sailed towards Angra dos Reis, west of Rio de Janeiro.
      He had been travelling with a woman called Vitória Bárbara Momenso, who he had been in a casual relationship with for about two years.
      Bárbara said the pair had a row on the boat before he suddenly jumped overboard.

      She said “There was no way to run after him.
      “It happened very quickly.”
      She added: “I was in shock, I was frozen.”
      After being treated by onboard medics, Bárbara disembarked the cruise the next day and spoke to the police.

      Carlos worked as a programmer at a bank and part-time as a DJ in São Paulo.
      He had also written two books of poems and had a YouTube channel where he commented on current affairs.
      Two vessels were involved in the hours-long search for Carlos, which failed to locate him.
      Afterwards, the “New Year at Sea” cruise resumed its journey, but a concert by singer-songwriter Alexandre Pires was cancelled.
      Carlos’s sister accuses Momenso of exploiting him financially.
      Christiane Mota da Silva, 44, told local media: “Carlos was practically broke. She financially consumed him. He funded the trip because it was her dream.”
      She added: “She will never admit it, but she is responsible for what happened. She didn’t throw him, but she is the one who pushed him to this point.”
      MSC Cruises said in a statement: “A thorough search was conducted on board, and it was confirmed that the guest intentionally jumped into the sea.”
      The MSC Preziosa had hosted Al Hilal and Brazil star Neymar’s extravagant party cruise from December 26-29.
      Prices began at upwards of £800, according to the Mirror, with some setting passengers back almost £5,000 for its luxury suites.
      Staterooms are also available on board for a premium experience, with options to cater for families, too.
      Ample amenities to keep passengers occupied include a 4D cinema, bowling alley, casino, games room, gym, spa and water park.

      Neymar, himself, has been getting around with the aid of a cane thanks to his untimely season-ending knee injury while playing for Brazil two months ago.
      The Al-Hilal forward had only played five games for his new Saudi Pro League club since they signed him from Paris Saint-Germain for £77.6m plus add-ons.

      Jake Paul told how to get world title fight after YouTube star announces boxing return following Andre August KO

      by

      JAKE PAUL has been told his change in boxing trajectory puts him on the path to challenging for a world title. The YouTuber-turned-boxer started out his career beating stars of the social media, basketball and MMA world.

      But when he stepped up to fight unbeaten boxer Tommy Fury, 24, in February, he was beaten by split-decision in Saudi Arabia.
      He bounced back in August on points against UFC veteran Nate Diaz, 38, but it would be the last time Paul, 26, took on a non boxer.
      Paul returned against little-known 10-1-1 Andre August, 35, and knocked out the seasoned American in the first round.
      Now the American is set to return on March 2 in Puerto Rico on the undercard of Amanda Serrano’s homecoming bout.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      No opponent has been named but all signs point towards another traditional boxer as Paul looks to build real credibility in the ring.
      Muhammad Ali’s grandson Nico – a 9-1 middleweight – has been left impressed by Paul’s change of lane.
      Nico, 23, told SunSport: “I give him a ton of respect. His last fight he fought a legitimate boxer, a no-name boxer and I heard he did well.
      “That’s what it’s going to take to get to contender status, to get to champ status, to get to a title fight.

      “It’s going to take fighting someone that nobody knows about, not making any money from it.
      “Just building your resume and then just fighting for millions one day.”
      Nico – whose last fight was documented in an OnlyFans series called Rise & Grind – has been linked with a crossover-style spectacle bout against Paul in the past.
      But he has no interest in stepping into that realm – such is the admiration he has for his legendary grandfather.
      Nico said: “I have so much respect for this legacy, it’s bigger than me. I can’t be selfish with it because a lot of people care for it. 
      “Just going to Africa and seeing so many people chant, “Ali” just for the love and respect they have for my grandfather was crazy. 
      “So, this legacy is bigger than me. I can’t be greedy and be like, ‘I’m going to do a money-grab and start fighting YouTubers.’ 
      “That’s insane, I didn’t get into boxing for the money. I think the money will come in time and I love what I’m doing right now, taking the long road.

      “I want to be champ one day, I want to get to that undisputed level and you can’t do that fighting YouTubers.”

      And Paul appears to have already lined up his next opponent in Neeraj Goyat.
      Boxing reporter Michael Benson shared a screenshot of the two fighters in conversation on Instagram.
      Goyat, 32, called out Paul on his Instagram page.
      Paul, 26, then responded by commenting: “Any time any place.”

      To which Goyat replied: “The bigger they are the harder they fall. I’m ready to fight you at any weight.
      “My walking weight right now is 158 lbs (and) I don’t care about yours.
      “Your both hands and your brother’s both hand will be less to even touch me.”

      However, fans were not happy with the match up.
      One fan said: “So Jake has a 50lb advantage against this dude? He’ll probably run around saying he’s a future world champion after knocking him out.”
      A second said: “Joke Paul fighting lightweight at 135 is disrespectful.”
      A third said: “That’s so shameful.”
      Another said: “Making a mockery of the ‘sweet science’.”
      While a fifth added: “Jake Paul cherry picking his opponents again.”
      Paul’s only defeat was at the hands of Tommy Fury.

      “I smell fear. Real fighting man would jump at the chance to make his biggest payday ever and actually live up to his claim that he’s going to KO me.”
      Fury meanwhile, appeared to call out Jake’s brother Logan in an interview with SportBible.

      “I’m the type of guy to go down and fight Logan Paul after 20 pints of beer, he’s not a fighter.

      KSI appealed the decision – with many boxing fans believing he deserved to have his hand raised.
      But Fury’s victory was upheld as he handed the internet sensation his first defeat.
      Prior to the bout, KSI bet Tommy’s father, John, £250,000 that he would get the victory.
      Following the result, John has been demanding payment for his son’s win.

      “How you enjoying that loss? KSI rejected appeal. He’s the only man I’ve ever known in boxing history to appeal a loss. You lost fair and square, mate. Deal with it, get back on YouTube and do your thing.
      “And pay me dad the 250 grand as well, you cheapskate…

      “Pay up. Sore loser. Kicking billboards. What an idiot.”
      His comments come after John told iFL TV: “He lost. He’s got to man up and pay because I will not let this go. I’ll hound him to death.
      “So there you go mate, pay up. You were the one that wanted to bet in the first place. Be a man.
      “You were a sore loser when you got pipped on the night. But you’re going to pay this money because I’ll never leave you alone.
      “I will ruin your career. I’m on you like a dog on a rabbit. So don’t worry about that. Pay up.”

      My grandad is Muhammad Ali – now I’m following his path as boxer but I’ve turned down huge payday out of respect for him

      by

      NICO ALI WALSH has such respect for his iconic grandfather that no amount of money could convince him into a cash-grab fight. The middleweight prospect has quite possibly the greatest ever boxing shoes to fill as the grandson to Muhammad Ali.

      So far, Nico has forged his own path to success in the ring with a 9-1 record but his iconic surname will always be able to make him millions.
      Although the American is uninterested in profiting from a crossover-style spectacle bout if it means his grandfather’s legacy takes a hit.
      Nico told SunSport: “I have so much respect for this legacy, it’s bigger than me. I can’t be selfish with it because a lot of people care for it. 
      “Just going to Africa and seeing so many people chant, “Ali” just for the love and respect they have for my grandfather was crazy.

      Nico, 23, has continued to be linked with a clash against social media star-turned prizefighter Jake Paul, 26.

      And despite distancing himself from it, Nico praised Paul for his first-round knockout win over boxer Andre August.
      He said: “I’ve got to say, Jake Paul, he keeps getting popped up but I give him a ton of respect.
      “His last fight he fought a legitimate boxer, a no-name boxer and I heard he did well. 
      “That’s what it’s going to take to get to contender status, to get to champ status, to get to a title fight. 
      “It’s going to take fighting someone that nobody knows about, not making any money from it.
      “Just building your resume and then just fighting for millions one day.” 
      Paul claimed an offer to fight Nico was respectfully declined in the past.
      Giving his side of the story, Nico said: “I don’t remember if there was ever a legitimate offer but we’ve made it very clear that we don’t want something like that, respectfully.

      “We respectfully decline anything like that and it is out of respect for my grandfather, it is out of respect for the legacy that I’m trying to build, it’s out of respect for the career I’m trying to build for myself. 
      “Once you’re categorised in that category it is so hard to break out of that cast.” 
      Tommy Fury, 24, insisted he was going to beat Paul and then return on his path to world championship boxing.
      But after edging past Paul, the ex-Love Islander went straight into facing YouTube sensation KSI, 30, winning controversially on points.
      The foray into the world of influencer boxing has left Fury laughing all the way to the bank – but his title ambitions are now seen as the joke.
      And Nico said: “I know Tommy, love Tommy, he’s an awesome dude, the Furys are awesome but it’s options you’ve got to weigh. 
      “There’s two options, on one hand you’ve got life-changing money and on the other hand you’ve got a boxing legacy.

      “So you can’t fault anybody for picking one or the other but in my case I will always side with legacy over money.” 
      Nico recently returned with victory in Guinea, beating Noel Lafargue by split-decision over six rounds.
      The bout – documented in an OnlyFans series called Rise & Grind – gave the boxing prodigy the chance to bounce back from his first ever loss.
      He said: “It was super relieving. It’s crazy because nowadays in boxing people value your record more than your ability almost.
      “And that kinda sucks because I’m such an old school guy, I’m only 23-years-old but I’m an old head.
      “And I respected these guys coming up; my grandfather, George Foreman, Joe Frazier all those old school guys, Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard.
      “These guys didn’t care about records they cared about putting on awesome fights and nowadays it’s just not like that.
      “So when I did get that loss, me personally I took it as a learning experience but for the world of boxing, for the viewing of boxing I thought, ‘This could really do some damage.’
      “Because people value that record so much but coming back off that it makes your comeback even more when there’s a minor setback.”

      I’m a former Premier League star who now builds LEGO on YouTube – I’d love to create a masterpiece with David Beckham

      by

      A FORMER Premier League star has started a new career as a YouTuber after becoming “addicted” to Lego.Darren Ambrose, 39, called time on a 15-year career in 2016.

      The former winger started out at Ipswich before earning a big move to Newcastle, and also played for Charlton in the Prem.
      He made 410 career appearances for seven different clubs but he now has a new love – Lego.
      His new passion began when his parents-in-law gifted him a 6,000-piece Hogwarts Castle set, and now it is an activity he enjoys along with wife Rachel and their five kids.
      Reflecting on his first set, Ambrose told the BBC: “It took me a long time, and people say it’s cliché, but it was therapeutic.

      “I sat there, spending time away from everyone, started doing it and thought it was amazing. It went from there.”
      The Ambrose now have quite the collection with a shelf that includes sets from famous films like Ghostbusters and the Marvel franchise.
      They have now decided to go one step further by starting their own YouTube channel called “The Lego Family 7”, which features kids Jess, Lily, Harry, Fred and George.
      Ambrose says his wife is a Lego “addict” and the couple frequently gift each other sets.

      He added: “She’s now an addict, and she loves Lego.
      “Every birthday, Christmas and Valentine’s Day, we get each other some. It sounds strange, and I get a bit of grief from people who don’t like Lego- but we love it.”
      Rachel did not deny her obsession, claiming she might love the toy even more than her husband does.
      She said: “I didn’t think it would be an obsession for me, but actually, I think I am maybe a little more obsessed than Darren. It’s very sad, but I am addicted, and I absolutely love it.”
      Next Ambrose has his heart set on building Lego stadiums of the clubs he played for, and he would jump at the chance to build a set with David Beckham, a fellow Lego enthusiast.
      He said: “He [Beckham] loves Lego.
      “It’s surprising, when you get into Lego, how much people are into it. I love it, I don’t care who knows.
      “I’d love to have the stadiums of the clubs I played for. Portman Road, St James’ Park, Selhurst Park, the Valley and St Andrews.

      “Some players come out of the game, and play golf, collect trainers, but we decided to collect Lego.

      And now Paul has taken to social media to announce he will be back in the ring in just 11 weeks time in Puerto Rico on March 2.
      But the social media sensation will NOT be the night’s headliner, with women’s boxing legend Amanda Serrano instead at the top of the bill for her homecoming fight.
      Paul said: “Fighting for the first time at home in Puerto Rico alongside one of the greatest fighters ever, Amanda Serrano, promises to be the event of a lifetime.
      “I’m honoured to be the co-main event on Amanda’s homecoming card, and I could not be more excited to bring this historic event to Puerto Rico as I continue my path to becoming a world champion.

      “Our latest MVP signee, Wanna Walton, is making his global debut on this card, Bomba Gonzalez and Krystal Rosado are continuing their rise to stardom, and the whole island of Puerto Rico will finally get a chance to properly celebrate the greatness of Amanda Serrano.
      “She is going to sell more tickets in one event than Katie Taylor did in two in Dublin.
      “This is going to be the biggest night of boxing the Choliseo has ever seen and the world will be watching.”
      The last time Paul did not top the bill was in November 2020 when he knocked out basketballer Nate Robinson, 39, on Mike Tyson’s undercard.

      Serrano, 35, looks set to defend her unified WBA, IBF and WBO belts in the 20,000-seat arena in her first bout back in Puerto Rico since 2017.
      Paul, 26, meanwhile is coming off his first victory over a recognised boxer in August, 35, who was 10-1-1 before the KO defeat.
      The American was beaten by Tommy Fury via split-decision in February but bounced back by beating ex-UFC star Nate Diaz in August.
      And Paul has since confirmed his focus will be on rising the traditional ranks as he intends to face seasoned boxers going forward.
      He said when asked on his next move: “More boxing prospects, more experience, more time in the ring under the bright lights staying active.
      “And if the money fights want to come, I’ve got smoke for them too but right now I’m focussed on being one of the best in the world and creating one of the greatest sports stories in the history of sports.
      “Being able to become a world champion from Disney channel, three years ago not even knowing how to throw a jab or what an uppercut was.”
