    Ross and John then also whacked their t-shirts off before Fury joined suit and flexed his muscles.

    Fury even had a date and venue in mind for his prospective fight with Reynolds, at Wrexham’s Racecourse Ground on November 25 as Morecambe take on Reynolds’ Wrexham.
    Fury is Morecambe’s most famous resident, and helped put the town further on the map in his Netflix series At Home With The Furys.
    Speaking behind the scenes on the Furocity YouTube channel, Fury asked a member of staff: “Amy, are you going to come down to the Wrexham vs Morecambe game?”
    His assistant replied she was planning to, with Fury then revealing: “I’m going to call out Ryan Reynolds.”

    Reynolds has become an influential figure in English football alongside co-owner Rob McElhenney – with Wrexham being promoted from the conference to League Two this year.
    The Deadpool star regularly flies between Wales and the United States to support the team who won promotion back into the Football League last season.
    Reynolds will no doubt be keen to link up with Fury at the game should they both attend, and will likely be filming the encounter for his own reality show, Welcome to Wrexham.
    Fury has tried to take over his beloved Morecambe in the past, but ultimately came off second best with 20-year-old businessman Sarbjot Johal outbidding him.

    That takeover did not happen however, leaving Fury able to take a second bite at the cherry should he raise the required capital.
    That could aid him in his quest to top Forbes’ sporting rich list.
    He said in an exclusive interview with SunSport that Saudi cash will be a massive part of his strategy, explaining: “They’re paying big money, everything they get involved in is big.
    “And I believe I’ve just done the biggest boxing deal ever to be done in the history of boxing with them.
    “I’m not at liability to talk about numbers but let’s just say the bag is big, mighty f***ing big. But will it change me? Not really.
    “Still got the Crocs and the packed lunches from Asda, not too shabby mush!”
    Asked if it was just a one-fight deal, Fury, 35, replied: “Can’t say but it’s the biggest boxing deal ever done in history.
    Fury boxed just twice last year, stopping Dillian Whyte, 35, and Derek Chisora, 39, and it saw him slip outside Forbes’ top 50 list.
    But in 2022, he was placed in 15th after making £50m. More

    Following the win, AJ took a lap around the ring and bumped into both McGregor and KSI.
    And McGregor was captured hurling abuse at KSI until Joshua intervened in support of his “guy.”
    KSI has since lifted the lid on the bizarre incident and claimed the Irishman was trying to talk his way into a mega-fight.
    He told Misfits Boxing’s YouTube channel: “It was pretty weird if I’m being honest.

    “I think I had heard Conor saying that I can’t box and this and that, it was pretty embarrassing for him because AJ was like ‘nah nah, that’s my guy’ so he looked a little bit stupid there.
    “But with Conor, clearly I think he wants a bite at the cherry, he wants a piece of the king and he understands that this right here is where the money is at.
    “Everyone is a normal person at the end of the day, same as me just a normal guy and I treat everyone the same.
    “Just because he’s Conor McGregor doesn’t mean anything to me.”

    But Khan – who is serving a drugs ban following his final bout – has refused to rule out a comeback.
    And he is even willing to go up in weight to take on YouTuber-turned boxer Paul.
    He said on Heart radio: “Jake Paul, he gets on my nerves a little bit.
    “I think the way he conducts himself, the way he acts, and he’s just full of himself as well and he thinks he can fight, he’s only been boxing for like a year, so yeah, I’d love to fight him.

    “He’s been very lucky though, he’s a little bit heavier than me but I don’t mind putting the pounds on just to beat him up.”
    Paul, 26, was beaten for the first time in February this year, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.
    But he returned in August to beat ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, over ten rounds in Texas.
    He weighed 185lb (13st 2lb) for the bout, while Khan was 149lb (10st 6lb) for his loss to Brook, 37.

    The 2004 Olympic silver medallist, 36, is currently serving a two-year drugs ban following a failed test last year.
    He was found with traces of Ostarine in his system, which aids weight loss and muscle growth.
    The substance is prohibited by United Kingdom Anti-Doping, who Khan co-operated with during their investigation.
    UKAD confirmed Khan’s ban – after it was referred to the National Anti-Doping Panel – but he doubled down on unknowingly consuming the substance.
    A statement read: “Mr Khan’s case was heard by the independent tribunal on 24 January 2023 and in its written decision dated 21 February 2023, the panel found both violations proved, concluded that Mr Khan had established that they were not ‘intentional’ within the meaning of ADR Article 10.2.3 and imposed a two-year ban on him.”

    But their rival Paul, 26, popped up as a surprise guest and a war of words broke out between the American and arch enemy KSI, 30.
    KSI was quick to mock the YouTuber-turned boxer’s first loss which came against Fury, 24, in February.
    He said: “I’ve beaten every opponent in front of me. Jake, have you beaten every opponent in front of you?”
    To which Paul replied: “Every single legend that has been put in front of me, yes I have.”

    KSI hit back: “I don’t give a f*** if it’s a legend or not, have you beat every opponent in front of you? No! You have an L.
    “Do I have an L on my record? And when I fight Tommy Fury will I have an L on my record? No, simple. You lost to Tommy Fury.”
    Paul then claimed KSI’s fight with Fury is an exhibition due to the fact it is not professionally sanctioned by the British Boxing Board of Control.
    Some more squabbles ensued over who is ducking who before Paul was abruptly kicked off the stream.

    He later went on Twitter to claim it was KSI’s manager who demanded he be removed.
    Paul tweeted: “Lol KSI manager freaking out behind the scenes and making Adin’s manager kick me out of the chat! Soft!”
    The self-proclaimed Problem Child also deleted a tweet which suggested KSI’s bout with Fury is not a “real fight”.
    But in response to KSI pointing this out, he replied: “So show all your fans what regulated US sports book is taking bets on your fight in the US?
    “Betr isn’t…but neither are Fan Duel, Draft Kings, Bet MGM or any LEGAL sports book…because your fight isn’t a pro fight. It’s an exhibition.
    “And you are a duck. A scared little duck.”

    And before the DAZN pay-per-view showdown the two came head during a heated press conference and face-off interview.
    Both times KSI attempted to make Fury flinch by pretending to take a lunge at him and grabbing a bottle of Prime to dash his rival’s way.
    But after each attempt failed to faze the unbeaten boxer, fans spoke out to say KSI was already in a losing battle.
    One said: “KSI Has now FAILED at making Tommy Fury flinch TWICE‼️ The mental battle is already lost for this man.”

    Another slammed: “KSI is embarrassing.”
    One asked: “He’s trying to make him flinch from 2 meters away, idk why he’s tried it twice.”
    KSI let out a menacing laugh as he grabbed a bottle of his popular Prime drink.
    But a confused Fury responded with: “What was that about? There’s no flinching out of me, mate.

    “And there’s no flinching there, you tried to but you didn’t and I hope your feints are a lot better because that was s***.”
    KSI also left Fury bemused after making a remark about the size of his manhood, having accepted the grudge match as a huge betting underdog.
    He said: “Have you not seen the size of my balls, bro? I’ve got f basketballs down there.”
    Fury replied: “I don’t want to. Why does him and Jake Paul keep coming out with this?
    “Jake Paul said he was going to do such and such on fight week, and now you’re talking about balls. What is it with you guys?”

    And despite being friends with fellow Watford man KSI, it did not stop AJ giving a balanced prediction when asked.
    Joshua, 33, told Misfits Boxing: “That’s where it’s tough, experience plays a massive role in anyone’s approach to success.

    Amir Khan
    Khan, 36, is no stranger to a big fight himself and he has backed Fury to do a demolition job.
    He told SecondsOut: “He comes from a boxing family, I think he’s a better fighter and I think he’s definitely got the skill set and the power to knockout these influencers.
    “I think it’s a mismatch, really. Because he’s the fighter and he’s the one who has been doing it from young.
    “I think this is where these influencers can get hurt one day, when they take risky fights against proper boxers. They’re going to get hurt.”

    David Haye
    The Hayemaker has made a name for himself with dodgy predictions over the years so this could be bad news for KSI.
    But Haye, 42, tipped KSI to beat Fury right after he knocked out Joe Fournier with an accidental but illegal elbow in their May fight.
    He said on iFL TV: “I think he beats Tommy Fury. And if he’s allowed elbows as well, for sure.
    “Even without the elbows, I think he definitely beats Tommy Fury. With his timing and rhythm, I was really impressed.”

    So it is no shock that Chisora, 39, told talkSPORT: “It’s not like he’s in and out of the gym, no, no. He wants to win this fight.
    “On top of that, JJ doesn’t have yes men around him. It’s going to be a good fight.

    And his partner – who has so far remained secret and out of the public eye – was left in fear of the fight.
    So much so that she demanded to watch KSI in sparring to put her at ease and according to the man himself he passed with flying colours.
    KSI told streamer Adin Ross: “I’ll tell you this – my girlfriend was very, very nervous, very, very nervous.
    “She was like, ‘I don’t know about this Tommy fight, I’m f***ing terrified, Tommy’s a big guy, I saw what he did to Jake. I’m not sure about this fight, can I see you spar?’
