      Chisora, 39, is a friend and training partner of KSI’s and asked the UFC legend when the two will fight.
      McGregor responded: “Tomorrow, if he’s here tonight! We’re fighting him on the same card. We’re on the same card in March.”
      The Irishman’s embrace with Chisora came on the night Tyson Fury, 35, controversially beat ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou, 37 on points.
      McGregor, 35, has boxed only once before, losing to American great Floyd Mayweather, 46, in ten rounds.

      The money-spinning spectacle kickstarted the new age of crossover fights including boxers, MMA stars and social media influencers.
      KSI, 30, is a pioneer of the YouTube boxing scene and suffered his first loss in October, against Fury’s younger brother Tommy, 24.
      Mid-way through the fight, McGregor posted: “Ya know what. Me and KSI is an exciting fight.
      “A juicy nixer I used to call them back when I was a plumber now I’m on the lambo yacht he’s in a huracan.”

      KSI has appealed his disputed points loss but announced he will take time out from boxing while McGregor was called out by Tommy.
      Tommy told Fight Hub TV: “I would love to share the ring with Conor McGregor, and if Conor wants it next, I’ll 100 per cent share the ring with him.
      “I’m a fan of Conor McGregor. I like him. He’s a good man who got me into UFC.
      “If he wants to share the ring, my hand is there, the offer is there. I’ll have Conor next.”

      But the YouTuber-turned boxer is adamant he will both challenge for championship honours and share the ring with Mexican great Canelo.
      Logan said on his podcast with guest KSI: “I’m telling you, Jake is devoting his life to boxing.
      “He’s talking about becoming a world champion three years from now and he’s doing it.”
      KSI, 30, replied: Talking about Canelo.”

      Logan, 28, responded: “That’s his plan, dude. It sounds insane and then all of a sudden one day, I guarantee, Jake will be fighting Canelo.”
      Jake, 26, went on a run of beating stars of the social media, sport and MMA world until facing Tommy Fury, 24, in February.
      It was the first time he stepped up against a traditional professional boxer and marked his only defeat so far.
      The American did return to victory in August beating MMA veteran Nate Diaz, 38, over ten rounds.

      And Paul’s next fight is set for Friday, December 15 and will be against another pro boxer with a “winning record”.
      Meanwhile, bitter rival KSI, 30, suffered a controversial points loss to Fury, which he has since appealed as he takes time away from boxing.
      It leaves a blockbuster grudge bout with Jake up in the air after Logan pressed him on the fight.
      KSI said: “I think for right now, I’m just kind of enjoying myself. But we’ll see.”

      by

      KSI has hinted he is “RETIRED” from boxing – leaving future fights with Tommy Fury and Jake Paul in doubt. The YouTube, music and crossover boxing star was beaten for the first time by Fury in a disputed decision loss last month.

      KSI has since hired a legal team to appeal the result and revealed plans to take time away from the sport.
      But while speaking on Logan Paul’s podcast, the multimillionaire celebrity admitted he does not know where his boxing career stands.
      KSI said: “Right now, I feel like I’ve retired. It’s weird. I haven’t trained since the fight.
      “I’ve kind of just enjoyed my life. It’s weird because I’m like, ‘I’ve got to train the next day. Wait, no I don’t! I’ve got to watch what I eat. Wait, no I don’t.

      “It’s all these things that I would normally do, and I’m like I can just relax, play games.
      “So I’ve been playing Overwatch, playing the new Spider-Man 2 game. I’ve been seeing my mates, Sidemen mates.”
      Fury, 24, has opened the door to a sequel after the controversy but KSI, 30, hit back: “F*** the rematches with Tommy Fury.”
      One bout that will elude KSI is a bitter bout with Logan’s 26-year-old brother Jake.

      But KSI has refused to confirm whether he will remain in boxing to finally settle the score with his bitter American enemy.
      He said: “It’s a huge fight, especially because the ego is on the line. Not even money, fame, whatever.
      “It’s the ego. It’s pride. Who is going to be the YouTuber that falls down? That’s why everyone is like, ‘I need this.’”
      KSI continued: “I think for right now, I’m just kind of enjoying myself. But we’ll see.”

      KSI hired a legal team to appeal the result and confirmed he would take some time away from the sport.
      Now, he has spoken out in an interview on Logan Paul’s podcast in the wake of his first boxing defeat.
      KSI said: “I felt like I won the fight, man. It was weird, I felt like Tommy was surprised he just didn’t expect me to move the way I was moving.
      “There were quite a few people who were hoping I would lose or get knocked out, like boxing purists, and they saw that first round and were like, ‘Oh no. It’s going to happen, oh my God.’

      “Throughout the rounds I felt like I was doing well, getting the big shots off, obviously a lot of back of the head shots.”
      Fury, 24, was docked a point for punches to the back of the head but was still awarded the victory on the cards.
      KSI, 30, has left his fighting future up in the air despite a grudge match with Jake Paul, 26, looming large.
      Jake’s brother Logan, 28, probed KSI on his coaching paying sparring partners to try and KO him.

      And KSI responded: “Yeah, a five grand bonus.
      “Yeah man, it was pretty ridiculous! I heard it only near the end of the camp, so they didn’t tell me obviously.
      “I was like, ‘Jesus Christ, no wonder they’re trying to knock my head off!'”

      “Ten-15 million, biggest payday of his life. He gets beat by Jake and he’s hiding behind a rock.”
      Diaz is yet to confirm his fighting future having walked out on the UFC to pursue his boxing bout with Paul.

      And Hearn has teased an Old Trafford showdown with YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul.
      Rooney, now 38, boxed during his childhood and amazingly has the support of an ex-UFC champ in beating Paul, 26.
      Bisping, 44, told SunSport on behalf of Betway: “Wayne Rooney is nowhere near the size of Jake Paul.
      “But one thing we know, he’ll have tremendous footwork. This is a man that’s competed at the highest level of sport.

      “He’s got the dedication and the discipline. He’s a tough person.
      “Rooney is used to having a row, he grew up in a tough part of Liverpool and he’s had many street fights and if he had a really good coach to take him under his wing, he can beat up that YouTuber all day long.”
      Rooney is now back in England after taking over at Birmingham.
      But the ex-England striker has not played since 2021 when he finished his career with Derby.

      Paul on the other hand is three years into his professional boxing career and has a record of seven wins and one loss.
      That defeat came in February against rival Tommy Fury, 24, but the American bounced back in August by beating ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38.
      Now Paul is set to return again on Friday December 15 with an opponent – who is expected to be another pro boxer – yet to be confirmed.
      If Hearn – who has promoted and worked alongside the American before – had it his wa,y a fight with Rooney would be in the pipeline.
      He said on The Overlap: “Wayne Rooney had a very limited amateur pedigree but could still fight.
      “Wayne Rooney training, and I said to him, ‘Imagine the shape you could get in as well. You’ll get right back into shape.’

      Masked rapper Dide who claims to be ‘Premier League star’ speaks out for first time – and reveals clue to true identity

      by

      THE rap star guessing game that has swept the UK may be a step closer to being solved after Dide let slip a key clue about his true identity.The masked rapper – who claims to be a “Premier League star” in disguise – has earned millions of streams on YouTube and Spotify since he started releasing music earlier this year.

      He hinted at his true identityCredit: Instagram/@dideworld
      The rapper, who claims to be a current Prem player, hides his identity by wearing baggy clothes, gloves and a distinctive black rose mask.
      His lyrics suggest that he “sees seven figures” and plays for a team which “stays winning”.
      Internet sleuths have fingered the likes of Eddie Nketiah, Bukayo Saka, Reiss Nelson, Noni Madueke, Alex Iwobi, Michail Antonio, Wilfried Zaha and Sheyi Ojo as the face behind Dide’s mask.
      The 5ft10 star has filmed music videos in Bermondsey, often raps about the “Big Smoke” and speaks with a trace of a London accent.

      Now he has spoken out for the first time – and let slip a clue to his true identity.
      Dide told Sky News that Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium has the best changing rooms in the Prem, and Luton Town’s Kenilworth Road ground the worst.
      Only four teams have played newly-promoted Luton at home this season – West Ham, Burnley, Wolves and Spurs.
      This would seem to rule out nearly all of the most popular guesses – while his interview with Sky was recorded in London just half an hour before West Ham’s clash with Aston Villa at Villa Park in Birmingham, which would seem to also eliminate Irons star Antonio.
      Most read in Football
      Sheyi Ojo played at Kenilworth Road this year while with Cardiff City, meaning he could fit the bill.
      Ojo made his debut in the Premier League for Liverpool in 2016 – however he is now on loan at K.V. Kortrijk in Belgium from Cardiff.
      He played in Kortrijk’s 1-0 home win over Club Brugge the day before the Sky interview.
      Dide added that the best player he has faced is Chelsea legend Eden Hazard, and gave a detailed explanation of recent changes to refereeing rules.
      But the rapper says that not even his teammates know he is the man behind the mask.

      He said: “A lot of us go into the studio just for fun, but no one really knows how far it’s gone.
      “They ask me, like, ‘Oh, is it you? But just the same way that it can be me, it could be someone else.
      “So there’s no real one thing that would make it be, you know, one football player.
      “As the music comes out, it will kind of make sense. Maybe I might reveal myself in the future. Who knows?”
      Read More on The Sun
      But Dide slammed speculation that he is a certain Manchester United and England centre-back.
      He said: “To me, that’s funny. Obviously I know Harry Maguire quite well.” More
