Tyson Fury has described the controversial upcoming fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson as ‘fantastic for boxing’ – despite a number of his peers criticising the surprising match-up.
The fight – which will take place on July 20 and be broadcast on streaming service Netflix – will see the 27-year-old YouTuber turned fighter go up against an opponent 30 years his senior, who has not fought since his exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr in 2020.
Paul’s promoters are claimed to be pushing for the fight itself to be made a professional contest, despite the fact that Tyson has not been seen in a professional ring since 2005.
By contrast, Paul has compiled a record of nine wins and one defeat over the last four years, with six of his victories ending in a knockout to highlight his punching power, despite his lack of experience.
While some are excited to see the return of Iron Mike to the ring, many have raised eyebrows about the unlikely pairing.

But Fury was more energised about the prospect, as he stressed that it wasn’t his place to judge whether the fight should go ahead or not.
‘I think it’s fantastic for boxing,’ Fury said on The Stomping Ground. ‘You’ve got a legend in Mike Tyson, you’ve got a YouTube boxer who’s come into the game and blew it up and has got millions of followers and millions of views and millions of eyes – good, bad or indifferent.
‘Some people love (Paul), some people hate him.
‘So, I think it’s a really good spectacle for boxing, brings a lot of people to the game. Listen, who am I to say Mike Tyson shouldn’t be boxing, or Jake Paul shouldn’t be boxing?
‘Good luck to them, they’re both gonna make what I call “a s***-ton of money” out of it, so isn’t that what it’s about?’
The heavyweight champion also had high praise for the stadium the pair will meet in, the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
‘I’ve been to that stadium, when Billy Joe (Saunders) fought Canelo (Saul Alvarez),’ Fury continued. ‘It’s a great stadium, it’ll be fantastic for the guys.
‘Both are getting paid, both are gonna put on a show. I just don’t know what’s not to like.
‘Okay, (one) guy is 57 years old, but he’s a former undisputed world heavyweight king.
‘(Paul has gone) from being a kid on the Disney channel to fighting Mike Tyson, who wouldn’t want to do that? You’ve got to admire them both.’
Tyson has not fought a professional bout since 2005 and hasn’t stepped in the ring since 2020
By contrast the YouTuber has won nine times and been defeated once over the past four years
Fury – who is due to contest his own big-money match-up when he meets Oleksandr Usyk in their delayed undisputed heavyweight champion clash on May 8 – suggested that the contest itself will be’pretty even’.
But the Gypsy King also hinted at the real reason both Paul and Tyson might have agreed to face off against one another in July.
‘People say, “Ah, it’s s***,’”and this, that and the other,’ Fury suggested. ‘But I bet they still watch it.
Exclusive: Promoter Frank Warren Discloses Fight Date and Location for Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua Bout.
Posted March 25, 2024 by TP2302
According to Frank Warren, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will probably face off in Saudi Arabia in March of the next year.
According to the Queensberry promoter, Fury and Alexander Usyk will square off twice this year, delaying Joshua’s return until 2025.
The money associated with Usyk and Fury’s undisputed title fight on May 18—an estimated £100 million for the winner—leads him to believe that the loser will force a rematch.
‘Next March, if Tyson does what I believe he’ll do and AJ continues to win, I’m sure that’ll set up a big fight,’ Warren told Sky Sports.
‘It’s like going back to the late 60s, 70s, that’s what’s happening now. These guys are all fighting each other.’
Frank Warren stated that Anthony Joshua could have to wait until March of next year to take against Tyson Fury.
Warren disclosed that following two bouts between the Gypsy King and Oleksandr Usyk, AJ and Fury might square off in Saudi Arabia.
Joshua and Fury could cross paths twice. They may agree to a two-fight contract, with one match taking place at Wembley Stadium, Eddie Hearn said earlier this week.
For financial reasons, Warren thinks they will have to fight at least once in the Middle East.
He said: ‘I’ve got to be honest, I think that is where it will go. Of course, I’d like them in the UK.
‘I look back when I was younger – all those many, many, many years ago – I look at all those really great fighters like Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, where did they put their big fight on?
‘The Rumble in the Jungle [in what was then Zaire]. Where did George Foreman fight Frazier? In Jamaica. The Thriller in Manila. That’s what happens. Because they went where the money is.
‘Those fights I mentioned took place in places you’d never dream of boxing taking place.
‘Traditionally it would have either gone to New York, then it became Las Vegas with the casinos.
‘They’re professional sportsmen. And boxers, unlike most sportsmen their career is very limited. One on your block and it can be all over. So you’ve got to make hay while the sun shines.’
Joshua needs to fill his time and find somebody to fight before Fury.
After beating Francis Ngannou, some possible option are Filip Hrgovic, Deontay Wilder, and Joseph Parker.
Fury will clash against Usyk on 18 May for a purse reportedly worth up to £100million
Details of the time and location of the “classic British boxing civil war” between Tyson Fury – Anthony Joshua have just been revealed by famous manager Frank Warren.
The highly anticipated fight, the “classic British boxing civil war” between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, has just revealed more details about the time and location of the fight. This time, the person who spoke up to share was famous manager and promoter Frank Warren, owner of Queensberry Promoter.
When will the “classic boxing civil war” between the two best boxers in British history, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, take place?
According to Frank Warren, the ideal all-British heavyweight match between Joshua – Fury will take place and most appropriately “in March”. Of course, this year is impossible, so Frank Warren’s target time is March 2025. The reason the timeline for the Joshua – Fury fight has been pushed so far is because it depends on the classic heavyweight title unification match between Fury – Usyk on May 18.
“The Fury – Usyk fight is tied to huge financial terms and that’s why the loser will definitely trigger the rematch clause. Fury and Usyk will fight 2 matches this year, that is reality. Thus, the Joshua – Fury match will reasonably take place in March 2025,” Frank Warren declared.
In addition to pointing out the timeline, Warren also confidently affirmed “at least Joshua and Fury will have to fight one match in West Asia and the venue will almost certainly be Saudi Arabia.”
“Looking back at history, the classic matches between Muhammad Ali – George Foreman took place in Zaire, Africa, or between George Foreman – Joe Frazier in Jamaica, Central America. That’s what happened. They fought in places that bring in tons of money. The Joshua – Fury match is the same, they will fight at least one match in Saudi Arabia. The tradition of fighting 1 match in New York and then 1 match in Las Vegas in some casino has been established. change,” the head of Queensberry Promoter, the unit representing Tyson Fury himself, shared.

Before Frank Warren, famous manager Eddie Hearn also revealed similar information. The head of the Matchroom Boxing promotion unit, which represents Anthony Joshua, said that the Joshua – Fury match will be bet on 2 matches, with 1 match in Saudi Arabia and the remaining match brought back to England as the venue. The venue is Wembley Stadium.
Obviously, both Warren and Hearn are very excited with the “2 best fighting cocks” scenario they manage: Joshua – Fury will fight 2 matches. If the time frame is March 2025, Joshua will have a lot of time to prepare as well as prepare his opponent for the next match while Fury is busy fighting Usyk.

After knocking out Ngannou in the second round of the fight on March 9, Joshua is being recruited by a series of powerful fighters such as Filip Hrgovic, Joseph Parker or another fellow countryman, Daniel Dubois.
It’s almost certain that in June or July, Joshua will have a fierce match. Currently, the 34-year-old two-time world heavyweight champion is on a streak of 4 consecutive wins. Joshua’s goal is to regain all the prestigious belts he lost after two losses to Usyk.
Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward battled through what awe-struck trainer Emmanuel Steward called ‘the round of the century’ twenty years ago – but where does it feature in talkSPORT’s top twelve greatest rounds of all-time?
A lot can happen in three minutes. Heavyweight wars, dazzling recoveries and even a few stunning blowouts all feature in our countdown.

Because we’re not judging this purely on action – the significance of each bout is also a factor.
So rounds between pound-for-pound legends, or within fights which have undisputed world titles on the line, rank above those which took place in Eddie Hearn’s back garden during lockdown (no offence, Ed).
Now, let’s count down the most awesome twelve rounds boxing has ever seen.
12. Mike Tyson vs Michael Spinks: Round 1 (1988)
Barely half a round – 91 seconds – but enough drama to win Ring Magazine’s ‘Round of the Year’ award in 1988, and you can understand why.
Two undefeated heavyweights, each with a claim to the world title, met, and a ferocious 21-year-old Mike Tyson walked through what was supposed to be his toughest test, bludgeoning Michael Spinks to the canvas twice.
Spinks never fought again, while ‘Baddest man on the Planet’ Tyson violently lived up to his billing.
11. Andy Ruiz Jr vs Anthony Joshua I: Round 3 (2019)
Anthony Joshua’s US debut was going to plan when he blasted Andy Ruiz Jr to the canvas with a left hook early in the third round. What was not in the script was AJ getting caught going for the finish, badly wobbled, put down twice, and barely surviving the round.
A shocking single-round turnaround in a fight that ended with tubby late-replacement Ruiz taking the unbeaten record and world titles of the muscular Brit at a raucous Madison Square Garden.

‘The Rumble in the Jungle’ ended with Muhammad Ali stopping big, bad George Foreman in round eight. But the fight swung in the fifth.
An angry Foreman spent it swinging crude haymakers at Ali’s head and body – battering down the older man’s defences.
Until, with 35 seconds left, Ali sprung off the ropes and stung Foreman with lightning accuracy, sending him reeling and the crowd in Kinshasa wild. Ali was shaking up the world once again.

Heavyweight champion Joe Louis’ attempt to avenge his only defeat to Max Schmeling was loaded with intrigue: an African-American fighting a German a year before the outbreak of World War II.
In the ring, it was brutality. Louis jumped on Schmeling in front of 70,000+ at Yankee Stadium, knocking him down three times and leaving his challenger with cracked ribs and two broken vertebrae.
Schmeling spent two months in hospital recovering from a two-minute fight.
8. Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder I: Round 12 (2018)
The recovery that launched a hundred memes. When fearsome Deontay Wilder dropped Tyson Fury hard in the final round of their showdown, he looked out cold.
Except Fury opened his eyes at the count of five, was on his feet by nine, dodged Wilder’s follow-up bombs with his hands behind his back, and then was stalking and hurting Wilder by the final bell.
The decision, a draw, was controversial, but round twelve was all anyone could talk about post-fight.

7. Erik Morales vs Marco Antonio Barrera I: Round 5 (2000)
You could include any of the twelve rounds of the first Mexican uncivil war between bitter enemies Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera.
But the fifth took an already gripping 122lb clash to a new level as Barrera bloodied Morales’ nose, ‘El Terrible’ came firing back with his own power punches, and the momentum shifted back and forth as the crowd reached fever pitch.
It was an astonishing mixture of will and skill that sums up what would become an epic trilogy.
6. Riddick Bowe vs Evander Holyfield I: Round 10 (1992)
“What heart by Holyfield!” cried commentator Jim Lampley.
After a Riddick Bowe uppercut had sent Evander flailing around the ring on rubbery legs, ‘The Real Deal’ somehow stayed upright, survived Bowe’s onslaught, and by the end of the round, was miraculously teeing off on his rival with hooks and uppercuts.
Bowe would get the decision in a war that sparked a memorable trilogy, but this round should have been scored 11-11 by all ringside judges.

What happens when two giant heavyweights base their tactics entirely on Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots?
You get George Foreman’s slugfest with Ron Lyle, containing a wild fourth round in which the mighty Foreman was battered to the canvas, then put down Lyle before the pair just winged hooks at each other until Foreman collapsed onto his side at the bell.
‘Big George’ looked cooked but somehow recovered in the break to win in round five. Incredible.
4. Micky Ward vs Arturo Gatti I: Round 9 (2002)
When Arturo ‘Thunder’ Gatti sank to his knees after a savage body shot early in round nine, his face screwed up in the definition of agony.
He got up but could not raise his fists, allowing Micky Ward to bash his head. On the verge of being stopped, Gatti dug deep, bloodying Ward’s eye and causing disbelief ringside.
Momentum swung like the pair’s blows, and the numbers at the end were scarcely believable: a total of 102 power punches landed in three minutes of utter carnage.
Two more wars would follow, but nothing would top this.

Just the ten knockdowns in round one (in the days before standing eight counts or neutral corners) when heavyweight champ Jack Dempsey fought Argentinian bull, Angel Firpo.
Dempsey scored more, but Firpo nailed the best: hammering Dempsey out of the ring and crashing into the press row just before the round ended.
“What round did he knock me out in?” a dazed Dempsey inquired of his corner when sat on the stool, only to be loudly informed that he was still in the fight.
He promptly got up and knocked Firpo out in round two.
2. DiegoCorrales vs Jose LuisCastillo I: Round 10 (2005)
The craziest ending to a fight boxing has ever seen.
Jose Luis Castillo pulverised lanky bomber Diego Corrales to the canvas twice in round ten, all but ending their battle. A desperate Corrales spat out his mouthpiece twice, costing him a point (which seemed the least of his worries).
“You gotta f**king get inside on him now,” offered trainer Joe Goossen. So Corrales, eyes almost swollen shut, did just that, catching Castillo coming in and slamming him with hooks until the referee, Tony Weeks, dived in to save the beaten Mexican on the ropes.
An unreal turnaround.
1. Marvin Hagler vs Tommy Hearns: Round 1 (1985)
Marvelous Marvin Hagler walked around in fight week in a bad mood, a three-letter word emblazoned on his baseball cap: ‘War’.
Unimpressed that many boxing figures were picking dangerous Detroit puncher Tommy Hearns to capture his middleweight world titles, Hagler planned to fight fire with fire from the opening bell.
‘The Hitman’ was never one to back down, so two all-time greats started at 100mph and then sped up, rocking one another with crisp, sublime power shots. Hearns was hurt, Hagler was badly cut, “This is still the first round!” gasped commentator Al Michaels.
Hagler would go on to win a three-round adrenaline rush of a fight, but the first round set a new standard in jaw-dropping thrills.

Frank Warren says Tyson Fury’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk “will be announced in due course” following Saturday’s thrilling fight in Saudi Arabia.
Usyk beat Fury by split decision in Riyadh to become undisputed world heavyweight champion.
Queensbury promoter Warren said a second bout between the two fighters will soon be confirmed, touting it to be better than last week’s classic.
Speaking at the announcement of Queensbury’s Magnificent Seven card on July 20, Warren told the PA news agency: “There will be a rematch and that will be confirmed and announced in due course.

“I think it will be better than the original fight. They both know each other, they’ve shared the ring and they’ll be looking to use what they’ve gained from the fight as an advantage to beat their opponent.”
Usyk handed Fury his first professional defeat.
Warren believes the ‘Gypsy King’ already has a legacy in boxing but a victory against Usyk, who has won all of his 22 fight,s would further cement it.
“I think his legacy is there,” he said.
“Of course, he wants to win and he’s got to win. He’s only asking for the rematch because he thinks he can win. He believes in himself and it would cement his legacy.
I think it will be better than the original fight. They both know each other, they’ve shared the ring and they’ll be looking to use what they’ve gained from the fight as an advantage to beat their opponent
Frank Warren
“Everyone out there thinks Usyk is the best out there so let’s see what Tyson does. He rang me and he said he wants the rematch so here we are.”
Warren, who signed Fury ahead of his comeback in 2018, predicts his fighter to get the job done second time around.
When asked why Fury would win the rematch, Warren said: “He’s a fighting man, it’s what he brings to the ring. He’s been caught a couple of times in his last couple of fights but he gets up and shows what he’s made of.
“I don’t want to see that happen. But like Usyk, he’s very similar, they’re very cute guys who know their boxing and I have confidence in Tyson.
“That fight has taken a lot out of both of them so we will see.”
Loose Women viewers were left fuming at Janet Street-Porter for her “disgusting” comment to Denise Welch during a conversation about education on Tuesday’s episode
Loose Women ‘s Janet Street-Porter sparked a stir among ITV’s daytime viewers after a cheeky dig at co-star Denise Welch during Tuesday’s episode. The panel, which included Brenda Edwards and host Christine Lampard, were in the midst of a heated discussion on whether or not parents should bribe their kids for exam success when Janet couldn’t resist flaunting her 11 ‘O’ levels.
Denise, the former Corrie actress, shared her own school days tale: “When I was doing my ‘O’ Levels, my mum and dad could have offered me the world and I would have still climbed down the drainpipe to go and be with my boyfriend. I was awful as regards revising and studying and it just wasn’t for me.” After revealing she bagged five ‘O’ Levels, Janet quipped, “Is that all? ” leading Denise to reveal her exams took two goes because she had to resit Needlework, reports OK!

Janet, ever the provocateur, made sure to highlight that out of Denise’s five ‘O’ Levels, one was in Needlework, followed by a laugh. Denise quickly clapped back with, “And we’re all on the same show, thank you very much! “.

Despite Denise brushing off Janet’s jibe with good humour, fans watching at home didn’t take too kindly to Janet’s sharp banter with her colleague.
A viewer rallied around Denise stating: “I must say I was cross with JSP boasting about how many O’Levels she achieved and belittling Denise for achieving 5 O’ Levels and one being for needlework. How disgusting. Who does she think she is. I was impressed with Denise’s responses to the digs JSP made.”
A second echoed these sentiments, stating: “Janet is so rude.”
Earlier in the show, the two also bumped heads during a conversation about infidelity. The women openly confessed to past indiscretions, hence their reluctance to pass judgement on others.

Denise reflected, “Back in the day, I wouldn’t, no. If I was in that situation, I wouldn’t have judged someone if they had possibly cheated. I always think that there’s not excuses for things, but there are reasons for things.”
Contributing her viewpoint, Janet started off by saying: “Like Denise, I was a compulsive cheater…” But Denise was quick to correct her, interjecting firmly with, “I wasn’t compulsive,” which invoked laughter from the audience, as the panellists moved on with their discussion sans further bickering.
Lucy Alexander, who is close pals with both Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, offered her support to the latter following the sad news of the former couple’s split
Ruth Langsford’s pal Lucy Alexander has rushed to offer support after the news she is divorcing Eamonn Holmes.
The Loose Women star had captured a beautiful day spent with her mother, full of sunshine, music, dancing, sherry, and completing crosswords together in the garden. She posted this precious moment alongside the dog, Maggie, on Sunday (June 2) with a heartwarming caption: “Lovely day spent with my darling Mum….sunshine, music, dancing, sherry, lunch, crosswords in the garden and Maggie….making memories Music by her favourite @mrantondubeke #sunday #family.”
Responding to the post on Tuesday evening, Lucy penned a comforting message in light of Ruth’s recent marital separation: “Just what you need – mum and maggie cuddles… I reckon you should have a swig of Joan’s sherry [laughing emoji] love you.”
Lucy and Ruth’s friendship spans many years, filled with nights out and trips abroad. Express.co.uk quoted the A Place In The Sun presenter as having previously said: “Ruth and I go on holiday together and we always need another holiday by the end of it. We just do not stop talking. She loves cooking and doing stuff at home.”

She also mentioned, “We like making lunches and we love shopping. We love nattering. She is just like my favourite holiday partner if I’m going to go on a girly holiday.”, reports the Express. In the past, Lucy, aged 54, has been there for Eamonn during his health challenges, paying a visit to their Surrey home during his recovery time.
“Yeah, I was over there with them watching the football [one Saturday]. Over at the Holmes’ household,” Lucy revealed in a candid chat last year. “He’s alright. He’s putting a smile on his face every day. He’s getting there.” She continued: “It’s funny because whenever we have a girly night and we go over there – it’s four of us – we all get together. It was our Christmas do, we call it, where we all swap and give each other presents. It’s always the four girls and Eamonn. We’re like, ‘What are you doing in here? It’s a girl’s night.’ He will say, ‘I just want to come and say, hello.’”.
The news of the former TV duo’s split was announced last month. Ruth hadn’t publicly commented on the split but Eamonn thanked fans for their support while presenting on GB News. It comes as Ruth extended her break from Loose Women following her divorce news.
A source said: “Ruth will not be back on screen this week.” They added to The Sun: “She has decided to extend her break from ITV so will not yet be making a return to the Loose Women panel.”

Katie Price stunned at this year’s Mighty Hoopla festival.
The former glamour model strutted her stuff in an all-pink catsuit, covered in pictures of her own face. She made a surprise appearance at the annual event held at Brockwell Park in south London, performing her hit track I Got You in front of thousands on Saturday.
The mum-of-five joined The Clapham Grand’s stage, playing a game of Bongo’s Bingo. Fans couldn’t believe their luck as she broke into song while on stage, blasting the “I know” lyrics first debuted in a memorable appearance on Loose Women in 2017.

Reviving her pop career, Katie shared a clip on Instagram as she wrote: “Had the most EPIC time.” The video saw her dancing along to a DJ track as the MC screamed “Katie, Katie, Katie Price” over and over again. Fans and friends flocked to the comments as they couldn’t contain their excitement. “Can’t wait to watch,” said TV pal Chloe Ferry.
RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Danny Beard wrote: “Obsessed with this! And I know I’m gonna have “Katie, Katie, Katie Pwiceee” in my head all day.” Another fan penned: “Its outfit for me such a Katie price thing to do you make me laugh, I love how whether people agree or not you just do what you want.

She recently went on stage with son Harvey(
Image: @katieprice/Instagram)Katie’s no stranger to the stage, recently taking her podcast on the road, alongside her son Harvey just last week. She came under fire for her “shocking and disappointing” behaviour on stage with her son. She was at The Clapham Grand with sister Sophie for their latest stop on their The Katie Price Show podcast tour. They were joined by Harvey, 22, who was reportedly encouraged to repeatedly say the C-word in front of the large crowd.
During the live performance, Katie was said to be asking Harvey to say the C-word by referring to the pervious time he said it on live TV. Harvey, who is blind, autistic, has septo-optic dysplasia and a learning disability, was asked by his famous mum: “What was the naught word when you were on TV with Piers Morgan? What did you say?”
Harvey replied: “Hi Piers Morgan you bl***y c***.” Katie then reportedly gave him the microphone again as Harvey said: “Hello you c***.” An audience member said they were “shocked and disappointed” by Katie. “I don’t know what I was more shocked about, the fact that a mum was egging her son, regardless of his age, to use such a profanity on stage, or the fact that she said “well done” after he done it,” they told the Daily Mail.
“Although the audience were laughing at the time, when we were all walking out, fans were expressing how disappointed they were that Harvey seemed to be used as a prop in the live show for a cheap laugh. Katie appears to be such a fantastic mum, so seeing something like this live is extremely disappointing.”
