    The Beckham family dances happily in the penthouse at Inter Miami, celebrating Nicola’s pregnancy?

    Victoria and David Beckham revealed how they “get down in Miami” as they showed off their family’s signature dance move on Tik Tok.

    Filmed by their son Cruz, 18, the couple were joined by daughter Harper Seven, 12,

    who joined in on the fun. Reposting the hilarious video on her own Instagram account, Victoria captioned it: “Who stole our keys?”

    Sparking a reaction from fans, many were quick to comment on the lighthearted Tik Tok. TV star and blogger Enrica Scielzo was among the first, writing:

    “Victoria I’d just like people [to] realize how funny you are! I love you and truly enjoy your sense of humor in all your interviews, you are an amazing woman and [you have an] amazing family!”

    Meanwhile, a second penned “Love this family!!” and a third agreed: “Best family ever.”

    During the video, Victoria, David and Harper were each spotted dancing in their $24 million Miami penthouse.

    A stunning property, the residence is located in the One Hundred Museum building, which was designed to mirror a seven-star hotel and features incredible amenities for its 100 tenants. Each apartment boasts multiple terraces with breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean as well as the Miami skyline, Italian kitchens with quartz countertops, custom-designed walk-in closets and spa-like bathrooms.

    The penthouse offers David the perfect base to work with his football team, Inter Miami, and it has also allowed the couple to spend more time with their eldest son Brooklyn, 24, and his wife Nicola, 28, who now live in the US.

    It’s been a busy week for the Beckham family, with the A-listers ringing in a major milestone on Monday. Joined by Victoria, Harper and Cruz on-stage, David recently confirmed his team’s signing of football legend Lionel Messi at a ceremony held at the club’s stadium in Miami.

    An emotional David said it had been a “dream come true” to sign the Argentina player as he addressed a sold-out crowd of around 20,000 fans, while on stage with his wife and kids.

    “10 years ago, I started my journey to build a new MLS team. I said then that I dreamt of bringing the best players in the world to Florida and the great city of Miami. Players who shared our ambition to grow soccer in this country, who would inspire the next generation and help build a legacy in this sport,” the dad-of-four said.

    “Please forgive me for feeling a little bit emotional tonight. It really is a dream come true to welcome Lionel Messi to Inter Miami. Leo, we are so proud you have chosen this club for the next stage of your career. Welcome to the family.”

    Bringing her fashion A-game, Victoria looked as chic as ever for her on-stage appearance, wearing a cream trouser suit with a black camisole and her hair down and sleek, while daughter Harper – who recently celebrated her 12th birthday – wore a pretty pink dress that matched the club’s pink football kit.

  • Mike Tyson pressed on whether Jake Paul fight will be his last

    Mike Tyson pressed on whether Jake Paul fight will be his last

    Mike Tyson took the podium in his first press conference before boxing Jake Paul, and he was questioned about what would come afterward.

    Boxing legend Mike Tyson hinted at his plans for what comes after his fight with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. During a press conference on Monday to promote the July 20 clash, Tyson was asked if his fight against Paul was just a one-off bout or if there was something more on the horizon.

    While Tyson was noncommital about sharing his plans, he did divulge some information about what he plans to do once his fight with Paul is over. “Hey, this seems like it’s going to be pretty fun, maybe we’ll do it again too, yeah?” Tyson said.

    When pressed with a follow-up question about who his potential next opponent is, the 57-year-old remained mum, instead deflecting the probe. “Well, can I take care of Jake first please?” the former heavyweight champion replied when pressed on who he would like to fight next.

    Although Tyson did not specify who he would fight next, it is clear that he still has the passion to be in the ring. And despite how heavily criticised his fight with Paul is, it appears he is paying those naysayers no mind as he continues to train for his upcoming fight.

    Still, Tyson did admit that training for his fight with Paul – who is 30 years younger than him – has taken a toll on his body. When asked how he was feeling amid his strenuous workout routine, Tyson did not mince words about how his body felt as he attempted to get back into boxing shape.

    “I’m beautiful,” the former champion told the crowd on hand. “I’m doing great but my body is s— right now. I’m sore.” In an effort to help his body better acclimate to the demands of boxing, Tyson has resorted to eating raw meat along with other dietary changes to help him get into better shape.

    What’s more, Paul revealed that it was Tyson’s camp that wanted the fight to be counted as a professional bout. Tyson’s team requested the fight’s status be changed just one week after the contracts had been signed.

    “Weeks after the contract was signed we got a call from Mike’s team and they were like ‘Hey, he wants it to be a pro fight for sure, he wants to put it all on the line,’” Paul shared with the crowd. “So I respect Mike for that, and if he wanted that, I said ‘Let’s run it.’”

    Even with its status as a pro fight, boxing pro Josh Taylor has raised his concerns regarding the fight, especially considering how old Tyson is and the shape he is in compared to Paul. “I’ve not really being paying attention because I have no interest in Jake Paul whatsoever,” Taylor told Express Sport in an exclusive interview. “He’s purely a showman and credit to him, he’s making a fortune and he’s doing well for himself.”

    He has actually had picked up boxing skills and worked pretty hard but I just don’t take these fights very seriously because it’s not real boxing. It’s a 57-year-old man fighting against a guy in the prime of his life.”” He even pondered what the point of the fight is and why Tyson would even bother accepting the fight against Paul. “Fighting an old man and making it a professional contest? Why? Just so you can say you beat Mike Tyson,” he continued.

    “I find it ridiculous but at the end of the day it’s entertainment and people will turn up and watch it as they want to watch Mike Tyson.” Regardless of how people view Tyson’s fight with Paul, the two men are going at each other with all they have, if what they’ve said thus far is any indication.

  • Heavyweight rival that beat Tyson Fury makes Oleksandr Usyk prediction

    Heavyweight rival that beat Tyson Fury makes Oleksandr Usyk prediction

    EXCLUSIVE – An old rival of Tyson Fury has backed ‘The Gypsy King’ to etch his name into history and become the unified world heavyweight champion.

    Tyson Fury’s former rival David Price, who once beat the Gypsy King as an amateur, is backing his one-time heavyweight rival to weather the storm in his unified title bout versus Oleksandr Usyk and prevail. Price was effusive in his praise about his old foe as he predicted that the Brit will make history later this week.

    Immortality awaits the winner of the contest on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with only the second unified world heavyweight champion this century set to be crowned. Looking to follow in the footsteps of Lennox Lewis, who was the last fighter to earn the rare honour, the WBC, WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO all are on the line in one of the most anticipated match-ups in decades.

    Previously scheduled for Feb. 17, the spectacle at the Kingdom Arena was pushed back to May after Fury suffered a gash to his face during training before the original date. However, opportunity now knocks for the Manchester-born colossus to solidify his legacy among the sport’s greats.

    One unlikely backer ahead of his clash with Usyk comes in the form of former competitor, Price, who has tipped his old nemesis to dispatch of the Ukrainian. The Liverpudlian, who hung up his gloves in 2021, is uniquely placed to sized up Fury’s attributes, being a rare example of someone who has downed the 35-year-old.

    That came while the pair were both amateur prospects in 2006, with Price rallying back from being knocked down in the second round of that contest to defeat Fury via a judge’s points decision. During an exclusive interview with Daily Express US Sports (arranged by Grosvenor Sport), the former Olympian was convinced that his old opponent will want to prove a point versus Usyk this month.

    The current WBC heavyweight belt holder suffered a scare versus ex-UFC star Francis Ngannou in October, as he controversially won via a split points call. Now, Price has predicted: “I think if his head is in the right place after the Ngannou fight because I do think it will have felt like a defeat on some level for Tyson Fury, deep down. He got put down, he didn’t perform and it looked like he just scraped the win.

    “A lot of people thought he lost and that will have hurt his pride and it will have dented his confidence a little bit. It might have been a blessing in disguise that he got given more time to prepare for this, but it might have been better for him to get back in there. I don’t know, it all depends on the individual.

    “I think both of them are on the wrong side of 35 now and they’ll probably start to slow down a little bit, so neither have got the advantage in that capacity,” he continued. “I just think Tyson Fury is an expert at being the big man and I think he’ll use his size, his weight, his reach. I think he’ll probably be behind in the fight, but he’ll eventually come back and find a way to win late on, that’s how I’m seeing it, but anything can happen in heavyweight boxing.”

    Casting his mind back 18 years to his bout with Fury, Price also detailed how he feels that his former contemporary has maximised his unconventional talents to establish himself as a bona fide generational fighter. He expalined: “He can do the textbook bit when he needs to, but what wins him fights is what can’t be taught and what’s in him instinctively. So, I’d never foreseen this.

    “The biggest shock was when he beat Klitschko, after that, he’s just gone from strength to strength, it’s not a surprise now, because you’ve been at the top now for nearly ten years. It turns out that was one of his strengths to be honest, how unconventional he was, and how different he was, how loose he was and things like that. He’s not your typical boxer and over the years, it’s kind of like made me respect that style of fighter more, where they do things their way, he’s a bit unique.”

    The pair now have put aside differences which characterised their relationship during the early years of their respective careers, building a respectful friendship outside of the ring. Price even recalled a couple of occasions since their meeting in 2006 where they have enjoyed each other’s company.

    He continued: “Yeah I bumped into him at the airport, I was coming home from Denmark from a fight and I think he’d been on a family holiday, and we’ve seen him and at that time there was there was still a bitter needle, but not as much as there was. But we’d never crossed paths and no, I was never going to be confrontational at any point with Tyson Fury, not on the front foot anyway.

    “He was with his family, and I just went over and talked to him as though it was the last time I’d seen him when we were amateurs. I just asked how are you and got a photo, and he got a photo as well and then that was it. I didn’t see him then until he phoned me to go for a coffee when he was having his comeback with Ben Davison.”

    Price spoke fondly of his interactions with Fury

    “He said we’re in Liverpool do you want to go for a coffee? And I was fighting two days later I think in just a little fight down in Brentwood, a comeback fight,” he recalled, before confirming that the duo enjoyed a conversation over their shared journeys as fighters. “I went to see him and had a good chat to him.”

    As Fury prepares for the defining clash of his career versus Usyk, Price was clear that he has the utmost respect for his old foe as he even offered the hand of friendship in the form of a celebratory drink when ‘The Gypsy King’ eventually retires. He added: “There’s mutual respect there, he knows I know my boxing and he always would have loved to have fought me as well because that rivalry was there.

    “So, we had the respect and admiration on my part, can’t speak for him. Probably you know, I tried to be a standard fellow, so you know you can only just expect respect back from the people who you respect. So yeah, there’s no phone calls or like that, though. But I’d like to have a pint with him when he manages to hang his gloves up and joins the ex-boxers association.”

  • Oleksandr Usyk’s chilling warning to Tyson Fury as he reveals ‘secret army’ after headbutt

    Oleksandr Usyk’s chilling warning to Tyson Fury as he reveals ‘secret army’ after headbutt

    Oleksandr Usyk has warned Tyson Fury he has a secret army of soldiers at his disposal after the Brit’s dad John headbutted one of his friends in Saudi Arabia.

    In a tense lead-up to the undispited heavyweight championship showdown, Oleksandr Usyk has issued a stark warning to Tyson Fury following an altercation involving their teams. After John Fury, Tyson’s father, headbutted a member of Usyk’s entourage, leaving himself bloodied, Usyk made it clear that his team is not to be messed with.

    The clash occurred at a hotel where both fighters’ camps escalated tensions, resulting in the incident with Fury Sr. and Stanislav Stepchuk.

    Despite the heated moment, Usyk maintained composure and warned the Furys of his team’s readiness to defend themselves if necessary. Usyk, poised for the upcoming bout, expressed his disappointment at the incident but stood firm on his team’s capabilities: “It’s bad behaviour from Tyson’s team,” Usyk said.

    “We are professional athletes, not street fighters, and this is a big event for our people, the UK and Ukraine,” he stated. He further emphasized the discipline and strength of his team, saying, “If they want to destabilise my team, it’s not possible because I don’t just have professional coaches and trainers, I have professional soldiers.”

    “My team is very good at wanting to fight, not boxing but street fighting, shooting, knives and wrestling. Of course it’s disappointing that it happened at an event like this, because it is about discipline.

    “But I am not disappointed by my team, they are disappointed because I pulled them back and stopped them from fighting. They wanted to go, they were looking over at me waiting for the signal to go.

    “They were waiting for the thumbs up but I gave them the thumbs down. ‘Back, back please’, I said. They were not happy but we had to behave properly. The situation doesn’t matter to me, it’s just more motivation for my team.”

    Stepchuk was left with a bruised forehead but Usyk’s team decided to take no further action. Fury Sr did later apologize directly to Saudi Arabia’s Turki Alalshikh for the incident which spoiled the start of fight week.

    Fury and Usyk will come face to face 48 hours before they meet in the ring to crown the division’s first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis defeated Evander Holyfield in 1999. Usyk will now use the altercation as extra motivation ahead of the landmark first bell.

    “My friend did not bleed because he is a powerful guy,” he added. “He is a street guy. Did you see the video? He was like a Pitbull. He’s only my friend, it’s a secret who the soldiers are in my team. It’s bad, it’s just bad and a stupid situation. I don’t want to call John ‘bad’ because I don’t know him or his mind. But he hit my friend, my team and it’s just another reason for me to win in the ring.”

    Oleksandr Usyk makes Tyson Fury ‘easy’ undisputed fight prediction

    Oleksandr Usyk is not feeling the pressure against Tyson Fury and believes that his Olympic gold medal was harder to achieve than winning his upcoming fight.

    Oleksandr Usyk has confidently admitted that securing victory over Tyson Fury on Saturday for the undisputed heavyweight world championship will be ‘easy’ compared to previous his Olympic success. The Ukrainian boxer, who remains undefeated like Fury, will face the ‘Gypsy King’ on Saturday night and look to add four belts to his collection.

    Despite everything being on the line against Fury, Usyk still holds his Olympic gold medal from London 2012 above any other success.

    “I have four belts coming for my four children, two for my sons and two for my daughters, one each,” he declared. “But my gold medal will always be better than undisputed.”

    Usyk sees Olympic gold as an accomplishment over any other professional title, due to how rare it is to dominate a sporting event at the Games. “Everyone who does sport – any sport, boxing, judo karate – they all dream of the Olympic Games,” Usyk added.

    Usyk is more proud of his Olympic gold medal over anything else

    “I know men with three World Championship medals but no Olympic gold – only bronze. I did two Olympics and only got one medal. It takes four years, my final opponent Russo had done four Olympics but still had no gold medal after 16 years.”

    Usyk believes this because of how long the journey to Olympic success takes, with the path to winning a world title in pro boxing easier to achieve in his eyes. The Ukrainian is proud to represent his nation, and sees a gold medal as the ultimate prize.

    A training camp was set up in Spain by Usyk’s team, in order to prepare him for the biggest heavyweight bout since Lennox Lewis toppled Mike Tyson in 2002. Usyk is known for his unusual training techniques, but it’s worked every time for the undefeated boxer.

    Usyk uses techniques such as juggling, underwater breath-holding, and tackling intricate mathematical puzzles. He’s now incorporated a Newton’s cradle into his strict regimen, symbolizing what he sees as the inevitable trajectory of Fury’s fate on Saturday.

    Usyk remarked, “Newton’s Cradle has already started,” and confidently added, “It can’t be stopped, just like the small Ukrainian guy; Oleksandr, ‘the undisputed world heavyweight champion’ Usyk.”

    YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul takes on boxing icon Mike Tyson this summer and the influencer is hoping to make his MMA debut in PFL after the mega-fight.

    Jake Paul is planning to make his MMA debut next year after facing boxing legend Mike Tyson this summer. YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul will face boxing icon Tyson in a professionally sanctioned fight on July 20 at the 80,000-seat Dallas Cowboys stadium in Texas.

    The controversial fight has divided opinion amongst boxing fans as ‘Iron Mike’ will be 31 years older than Paul on fight night, the biggest age gap between two fighters in professional boxing history.

    Paul signed with MMA promotion PFL last year but is yet to compete in the cage. The social media sensation offered Tommy Fury a mega $20million to have a rematch in the boxing ring following their fight last year, before facing each other for the third time but in a cage. PFL boss Peter Murray has admitted Paul’s MMA debut will likely not take place this year.

    “We’re looking forward to dialling that in with Jake and his partner Nakisa Bidarian. In this scenario, once again, no shortage of major, major MMA top fighters that want to step into the cage with Jake including Nate Diaz. That would be an exciting fight. There are others that are lining up Jorge Masvidal, and there’s more.

    “We have options. Jake has options. We’re excited about it, but he’s continuing to focus on boxing right now. He’s got a big event coming up on Netflix against ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson in the boxing ring, so that’ll be captivating. Following that, we’ll see what’s next for Jake. But 2025 is definitely where he and his team are setting their sights.”

    Paul’s MMA debut will be strengthened by his college wrestling experience but he never reached the level of his brother Logan, who had a record of 35-10 on the mats. Paul has set up a cage at his training base in Puerto Rico and PFL owner Donn Davis has insisted the influencer is very serious about an MMA career.

    “The good news is, if people didn’t think Jake was serious about combat, he’s proven to be serious. He’s gotten better. He’s doubled down on boxing at the minute, there’s no question about it,” Davis said. “There was a time when he might have done 50/50 and right now it looks like he might be 90/10 in boxing and MMA.”

    Tyson Fury has thrown his support behind Mike Tyson in the upcoming bout against Jake Paul, predicting a knockout victory for the legendary boxer when he steps back into the ring for the first time in almost 20 years.

    The Gypsy King, gearing up for his own monumental clash with Oleksandr Usyk, praised the controversial match-up during an appearance on The MMA Hour. Despite criticism from boxing traditionalists, Fury believes the event will be lucrative for the sport.

    “Only jealous fighters who aren’t getting paid and not getting laid, those are the fighters that are jealous. Negative people who are not making any money and are not set to gain anything from the fight,” he remarked.

    Fury hailed the economic impact of the fight, saying, “I think it’s fantastic, I think it’s created a lot of money. One for Texas, selling all of those tickets. That means it’s a big influence of dollars being spent in the local area. All of Mike’s team and Jake’s team is being fed from it and a lot of rent is being paid. I don’t know what to be negative about, I’m over the moon about it and looking forward to it.”

    He also expressed excitement at witnessing ‘Iron Mike’ return to the ring and commended the Paul brothers for their success. “I got to see the legend of Mike Tyson back in the ring in my era.

    “Jake and his brother have done fantastic too, I know we’ve got a rivalry going on with my brother Tommy, but I’ve got to say it as I see it. Jake and Logan have done fantastic for themselves from being young kids to becoming multi-millionaires.”

    “I know they’ve got a lot of haters but I’m not one of them, I’m a fan. I support being people going in and making millions of dollars out of boxing. It only makes it better for young people who don’t get paid, because more people will be interested in their fight. It brings more eyes to the game and it’s better.”

    “If Mike Tyson’s hits anybody, I don’t care if he’s 90, he’s going to knock them out cold isn’t he? He’s Iron Mike Tyson, the baddest man on the planet.

    “Jake Paul is very experienced now and he’s had a lot of fights but obviously I have to back Mike Tyson for the knockout as he always backs me,” Fury added.

    Jake Paul shows off serious weight gain as body transformation for Mike Tyson complete

    Jake Paul has shown off his new physique after bulking up to the same weight as Anthony Joshua ahead of his fight against Mike Tyson in July.

    YouTube star turned boxer Jake Paul showcased his new build after gaining weight in preparation for his showdown ut against heavyweight icon Mike Tyson. The controversial fight will be staged at AT&T Stadium – home of the Dallas Cowboys – on July 20.

    Many boxing enthusiasts argue that Tyson shouldn’t be allowed back into the ring with an opponent three decades his junior. The fight has been sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and will be contested over eight two-minute rounds with 14oz gloves, despite Tyson not entering the ring for a professional bout since his 2004 knockout defeat to Kevin McBride.

    Paul’s body weight was once as low as 183lbs when he initially transitioned from internet fame to boxing. However, he bulked up to the 200-pound cruiserweight limit for his last two victorious matches and now matches former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua’s weight as he prepares to face former unified heavyweight king Tyson.

    However, not all of Paul’s fans are impressed by the athlete’s latest body reveal. Some claimed he appeared out of shape following his weight gain.”Do you know how difficult it is to look that soft with that professional lighting,” one critic commented. “Way too heavy for his height,” another remarked. “Looks like he ate a couple cheeseburgers,” another added.

    As for Tyson, he weighed 220 lbs during his exhibition match vs legendary boxer Roy Jones Jr back in 2020. Paul wishes to attain a similar weight for his own face-off with ‘Iron Mike’, who recently made headlines after stating that his diet consisted of raw meat in order to regain his fighting physique.

    Paul holds a 9-1 record as a boxer with his only defeat coming by split decision to Tommy Fury, heavyweight champ Tyson Fury’s half-brother, last year. Since then, the 27-year-old has strung together three successive victories, beating MMA legend Nate Diaz on points before knockout wins over unknown boxers Andre August and Ryan Bourland.

    Paul discussed his weight gain and stepping up to the heavyweight division on his “BS Podcast”. He said: “It’s just like shocking to people that that is how much I weigh. I think just because normally I’m fighting at 200 and walking around at 210. It’s weird to me that I’m weighing 230. But since this was noodling after my last fight I’m just getting to eat as much as possible and it turns out my body carries this weight super well.

    “I’m only growing. I think I’ll get up to 240 and probably cut down so I’m like way faster. But if I’m training for this camp – and camp hasn’t started – but if I’m training in this camp at 240 and then I cut down to 220 it’s basically like I had a 20lbs weight vest on for the whole entire camp. So my muscles are going to be so much stronger and that speed will come through.”

    Oleksandr Usyk has complained about the fighting conditions ahead of his bout with Tyson Fury on Saturday night – sharing his unhappiness with the ring canvas at the arena in Saudi Arabia following the public workouts. Both Fury and Usyk went through a practice session with their respective coaches on Wednesday evening, being in the ring for the first time ahead of their fight in Riyadh on Saturday.

    The two fighters both looked comfortable, going through their progressions and hitting the bags in a public workout with reporters and photographers in attendance. But after leaving the ring, Usyk had reportedly made his thoughts clear that he’s unhappy with the canvas – specifically the seams holding it together, Sky Sports News reported.

    Usyk’s team has since said to have complained about the ring canvas to the necessary authorities, with them reportedly concerned about the seam causing a fall by either of the boxers. There are echoes of Fury’s own concerns with the canvas ahead of his fight with Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 where he would eventually claim the world titles.

    The canvas is identical to the one used in recent heavyweight fights in Saudi Arabia and the UK – with Usyk said to have fought in the exact same conditions in his second bout against Anthony Joshua.

    Fury has already stated that he will play mind games with Usyk throughout the week, promising a new ring walk on Saturday night.

    He said: “I’m always on the wind up, aren’t I? I think I was born winding people up. Keep tuned and keep your eyes peeled, we’ve got some big stuff coming over the next few days.

    “I always have a crazy little ring walk and you wouldn’t expect anything different for the biggest fight in my life, would you? I don’t think it’s ever been done before so it’s definitely going to be a surprise.”

    Usyk comes into the fight as the slight underdog against Fury, with both men undefeated throughout their careers.

    However, Fury will fight for the first time since his split decision win over Francis Ngannou – regarded as one of his worst career performances to date.
