JOHN FURY wanted his son Tommy to fight Jake Paul at Tottenham’s 62,000-seat stadium NEXT MONTH.
John claimed he verbally struck a deal with Paul’s manager Nakisa Bidarian over a bout in February.

And Paul has publicly agreed to the date and is even willing to come to the UK, so long as Tommy returns a signed contract in seven days.
But John was willing to match the celebrity boxing rivals in just over three weeks time on the undercard of son Tyson’s boxing return.
The WBC heavyweight champion, 34, defends his belt on December 3 at Spurs’ stadium against Derek Chisora, 38, in a trilogy bout.
And John wanted a primetime spot on the undercard for Tommy, 23, and Paul, 25, to settle the score, but said Bidarian rebuffed him.
He told Boxing Social: “His manager, or whatever he is, his closes man shook my hand and gave me his word.
“I said, ‘Let him fight in Tottenham on the 3rd in the world title fight.
“The WBC heavyweight champion of the world him and Tommy will fight then. You know, ‘No, no, no, no February, February.’
“So I thought about it and I went back to him, I thought you’re not gonna fight in December, you haven’t got the b****.
“He shook my hand and gave me his word as a man, he’s fighting in February. So let’s just see.”
Paul was a special guest commentator at the Coca-Cola Arena as Fury boxed late replacement Rolly Lambert in an exhibition.
He heckled from ringside and the two later clashed post-fight with security having to restrain them as their rivalry hit new heights.
But amongst the carnage, John and Bidarian were captured exchanging words and soon after shook hands.
Paul later tweeted: “I agree to fight Tommy in Manchester or London in February.
“I’ll come to his country, no more running. His baby is due then and you’ve said it’s no issue.
“Since John is adamant we’ve agreed, I am giving you seven days to present a signed contract by Tommy or I’m moving on.”
Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions company revealed they will pay their man while Frank Warren will take care of Fury’s financials.
And Hall of Fame promoter Warren expects a deal to be wrapped up within “the next week or so.”

Boxing is a popular sport. It is a fight between two opponents. Different countries have different rules. There are three types: Amateur, Professional, or Olympic boxing.

Boxing’s fundamental skills are:

- The body moves
- Defense
- Combination
- Rotation
- Spare parts
Punching Techniques
There are seven types: Left Hook (right hook), Right Hook (uppercut), Cross (cross), Straight, Overhand, Underhand. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require more force than others. An example of this is an uppercut, which requires tremendous force. On the other hand, a straight punch requires less power but it is faster than other punches.
There are also many combinations. These are combinations made up of several punches that can be used together to achieve one goal. A combination may have multiple parts. A left hook followed with a right-cross will cause injury to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does this by using his legs.
Legs
Boxers must use their legs to defend themselves against kicks. When he receives a kick, he raises his leg and moves away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. He will block the kick with his foot if the attack is coming from behind.
Elbows
Because elbow strikes inflict a lot of pain, they are very effective. An elbow strike can be delivered directly or indirectly. Directly means that your opponent is hit with your forearm. However, indirectly means that your elbow strike is delivered with another part or your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands as a shield against incoming punches. To do this, they raise their fists higher than their heads and move their arms in the direction that the attack is coming. The attacker’s fist is then in their face.
Knees
Boxers should bend their knees when receiving blows to the abdomen, stomach, or chest. Knee strikes can be used to defend yourself.
Feet
Boxers should respond to being attacked by their opponent by standing back and delivering counter-attacks. This allows him to put distance between himself, his opponent, and the ring. A boxer must also maintain his balance when responding to an opponent’s counter-attack.
Stances
To box effectively, a boxer must establish a stance. His stance will determine how he defends. It is how he positions himself and where he faces the opponent. Boxers can take many different stances. These are some of our most favorite:
- A low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Moving your body
A boxer must change his position, speed and rhythm in order to win the fight. This includes changing speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
Boxers rotate their arms when they throw a punch. You can rotate at different speeds depending upon the punch.
Combinations
The timing of each individual punch affects the effectiveness or failure of a combination. A combination that works well starts with strong punches and ends with weak ones is a winning combination.
Spare parts
Sparring is a training session that improves boxing skills. A sparring session is where a boxer trains both his mind and his body. Sparring is a way to learn how to fight without getting hurt.
In conclusion, learning to box requires dedication and patience. Boxing is a sport that requires dedication and perseverance.
