Tyson Fury reacts to Oleksandr Usyk's win over Dubois by reiterating claim
Tyson Fury responded to Oleksandr Usyk's triumph over Daniel Dubois by reiterating his claim that he won both of his bouts with the Ukrainian. Usyk and Dubois went head-to-head for the second time on Saturday night at Wembley Stadium, in front of a crowd exceeding 90,000. Right from the start, it was clear that Usyk was on the offensive, seemingly hunting for an early knockout. Dubois, also known as 'Triple D', had his moments, but Usyk, aptly nicknamed the 'Cat', used his nimbleness to evade any danger. Despite having Usyk cornered, Dubois found himself on the canvas. He managed to beat the count, only to walk straight into a devastating left counter from the Ukrainian. Unable to rise, the referee called off the fight. The 38-year-old veteran secured the undisputed heavyweight title for the second time - what comes next is yet to be seen, reports the Mirror. It was anticipated that Fury, a long-standing rival of Usyk, would be present at the Saturday night showdown after attending a pre-fight event at Wembley. However, the 'Gypsy King' was conspicuously absent. Instead of watching the bout ringside, the Morecambe fighter opted for a run, but was quick to voice his opinion on the match in a video posted on his official Instagram page. WARNING: FOOTAGE CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE. "Massive shout out to Oleksandr Usyk. He did a fantastic job performance tonight over Daniel Dubois," he began. "They came for a good tear up. So, congratulations to both men. But, Oleksandr Usyk knows there is one man who can beat him. I did it twice before and the world knows it. I have been f*****. "I took it like a man. Here is me... not f****** around at some boxing match. I am out on the road running. I am running tonight. I came home. I did my job and I got myself back. I am the man. I am the f****** spartan. And no matter what anyone wants to say, I f****** won those fights. Guaranteed. 100 per cent. There is only one man! Get up!" He captioned the post: "@usykaa congratulations. There's only one man who can beat you again and that's a Gypsy K Tyson Fury done it twice regardless of what the politics say!". The pair clashed twice during the previous year, with Usyk emerging victorious on both occasions. Their initial encounter took place in May 2024, where the Ukrainian secured a split decision victory in a thrilling back-and-forth battle. Seven months later, they returned to the ring for their rematch, with the 'Gypsy King' adopting a more aggressive approach but still falling short on points to Usyk. After triumphing over Dubois, Usyk mused about his age and future in the ring: "Thirty eight is a young guy, remember... 38 is only the start." He continued, "This is for the people, it's for our world's people. This is enough. Next? I don't know. I want to rest. I want to go back home to my wife, my family." When probed about potential opponents, Usyk mentioned: "Maybe Tyson Fury. Maybe Derek Chisora. Maybe Anthony Joshua. Maybe Joseph Parker." Fury has seemingly announced his next fight date following his decision to step back into the ring. The British boxing star disclosed that his third clash with Usyk is scheduled for 18 April 2026 at Wembley Stadium. The 36-year-old posted a promotional fight poster on Instagram, captioning it: "April 18, 2026 Wembley Stadium. The trilogy! UK. contact @spencerbrownmrgoldstar for tickets." Having already faced Usyk for 24 rounds, the 'Gypsy King' firmly believes he was the rightful winner of their rematch last December. He declared, "My last fight was a clear f****** victory for The Gypsy King. Anybody in boxing can see that. A complete load of dogs***," expressing his frustration. "I want a fair fight, I don't want any favours, I want a fair fight and a fair result. Which I know I didn't [get]. I thought I won it by five rounds. I watched it 250 times. Each way I never see it as a way for him to win. They can do what they want. If they say it's Tuesday it's Tuesday."

Dear Dáithí: Am I wasting the whole summer by saving money — not going on holiday or to concerts?
I'm finding this summer really hard. Every time I go online, I see friends and colleagues off on sunny holidays. They're posting epic selfies with cocktails and sunsets, while I'm here watching the clouds outside my window. There's also pressure to be out — at barbecues, beer gardens, festivals… like if you're not doing something Instagram-worthy every weekend, you're wasting your summer. But between the cost of living and trying to save for a house deposit, a trip away is out of the question. I feel like I'm being left behind while everyone else is having the best time. I'm 29, but I feel like I haven't figured out some secret to life that everyone else seems to know. I know I'm a failure. I even lied in work about having a trip coming up, just so I wouldn't seem pathetic. How do I stop feeling like this? I want to enjoy what I do have, but right now I just left out. Is anyone else feeling this, or is it just me? Oh my god, it's like my 29-year-old self just wrote in this week. You sound so much like me when I was that age... the only thing is there was no Instagram there that time — only fellas who never shut their pieholes about all the holidays they went on all year round and there I was buying a new leg for the old kitchen table that came with the home I bought. But you know what... I still have that table and those people's holidays are long gone. I know it might be harder these days to ignore these people, but believe me, when you're in your new home a year or two sooner than them, you'll be delighted! If I'm being honest, the only thing you are really wasting is the time you spend looking at what your friends put up on social media, pictures of cocktails and sunsets. Yes, for sure have a look, but don't dwell on it. And, you know what? You should be happy for them and tell them that. They won't get any satisfaction out of you if you tell them that — sometimes people put up these pictures to make others jealous; but most of the time it's 'look at me, I'm great', so leave them off. Wait until you post the first picture of your keys to the house, who'll be jealous then! That said, from your letter I don't think you're like that, you're not a show-off. I know you're saving for a deposit, and the cost of living is taking an effect, but you should put a small amount towards your social life. That is very important too, you need to live a little. But make whatever you do count. I know people who go to five or six concerts every summer and they can barely tell the nights apart and they spend most of the time on their phones filming 'Instagram-able moments' and not being there in the moment itself. So go to some event with a few like-minded friends, carpool, and think outside the box to make it more affordable. Tell these friends what you are doing — they might know already. They will definitely understand. And don't mind those show-offs and what they think. It's very important too that you get it out of your head that you are really missing out, you have to look at this under a real light, I see it as a little bit of pain now and a lot less later. There are two types of pain, the pain of discipline or the pain of regret, the choice is yours! Another thing you have to get out of your head is this thing that you're a failure. You have your head so screwed on and you should be very proud of that, you're in a good place with that. We just need to keep these ANTs — automatic negative thoughts — at bay and we do this by challenging them which is what we're doing here. And when we see the real true picture of what's happening, we move forward. ANTs are these thoughts that come into our heads for no reason at all... we all have them, by the way. So you lied about a trip to feel normal among your peers and you didn't want to stick out as everyone else was going somewhere. I understand why you did it but the reality here is that you didn't have to do this. If you explain to people that you're trying to buy a house, they will get it, and I think if the boss was to hear this, he or she would think it a very positive move, as opposed to seeing cocktails-at-dawn-in-Corfu pictures from others. The bottom line here is that you need to stop beating yourself up about all of this. As you see from my answer, you have so much going for you and you are totally right, you need to start enjoying what you have. Sometimes we forget all the great things around us because we are so consumed by what others have and are doing and that is a big waste of time and energy. You ask a great question: If anyone else feels like this. And the answer is yes, of course. I can imagine all the people saving for a deposit reading this who have the same thoughts going through their heads. The problem is that social media has amplified all of the others too and it's like someone with a loud speaker is in your ear every day highlighting what everyone else is doing and what you're not. So switch it off as best as you can. Reality check: You're 29, you have a good head on your shoulders. You're a bit bummed that your friends are 'living their best life', but you will have a house sooner than them and that means too that you'll have it paid off before them too. Control those ANTs and challenge them to see the real picture and remember the small bit of pain now will be worth it!

Do you fall in love hard and fast? Three signs you're an emophiliac – & five ways to break the destructive lust cycle
FROM falling hard and fast to ignoring red flags, why emophilia could be your toxic dating trait. Have you ever been on a first date and felt like you've met your soulmate? Advertisement 1 From falling hard and fast to ignoring red flags, why emophilia could be your toxic dating trait Credit: getty If this happens often, you may have emophilia, AKA a tendency to fall in love quickly and with just about anyone. And experts warn it can have a negative impact on mental health, leaving people vulnerable and trapped in toxic relationships, or see them darting from one relationship to the next, constantly chasing the thrill of early attraction or that feeling of falling in love. 'When you first fall for someone, you get that rush of the feel-good hormone, serotonin,' says Sarah Louise Ryan, dating and relationship expert, matchmaker and psychotherapist. 'This phase of romantic love is really the rose-tinted glasses phase. You are falling for the newness of these just-discovered feelings, just as much as you're falling for the actual person. This is because new and different people bring out different parts of us.' Advertisement READ MORE ON RELATIONSHIPS There's nothing wrong with these emotions, though they do simmer down as we build a relationship. 'In reality, when that spark fades, that is when the real relationship begins,' says Sarah. 'But those with emophilia don't ever want that feeling to fizzle out, which can lead them into a volatile position romantically. They either never fully commit and move on to the next partner, or they date multiple people to discover who they have the biggest spark with, all in search of the rush.' The emotional fallout from this pattern can be huge. Advertisement Most read in Health The good news is it's possible to stop and change your thinking and actions. I'm a dating expert - the 5 key signs your partner is cheating on you & the Instagram feature that'll tell you all you need to know Love At First Sight? But whatever happened to 'love at first sight', you might wonder? Genuine love at first sight is an instant attraction to someone you might share common values with, find intriguing and are physically attracted to. It can be with someone who feels safe and calm. Advertisement But emophilia is falling in love with the feeling of lust, attention, validation and connection, rather than the person. 'That need for attachment can be intoxicating, but it's important to get to know the person you've fallen for on a deeper level,' Sarah says. 'You will feel anxiety when you're not getting that serotonin burst, but if you follow these steps before becoming emotionally attached so quickly, you'll feel better.' When Emophilia Becomes a Problem At a time when the dating world feels dire and 'true love' is hard to find, is it really all that bad if someone is so open to connection? Advertisement The issue is that when emophiliacs fall, they tend not to question the relationship's long-term goals, values or red flags. This can make them either more likely to jump ship or get stuck in a relationship that was doomed from the start. 'Falling for risky partners may seem appealing, but it can be dangerous when their aim is manipulation and destruction,' explains Sarah. 'People with emophilia can be attracted to narcissists, who may lovebomb a new partner by showing excessive amounts of affection and attention. This would be ideal for a person with emophilia. Because they think they're in love, emophiliacs are likely to overlook warnings or advice, even from trusted family and friends. However, when red flags aren't addressed, over time they can become more problematic.' Advertisement Why Do you Fall so Hard? Though the exact cause of emophilia is unknown, there are several possible theories. 'It is thought that low serotonin levels in the brain may contribute,' says Sarah. Serotonin is also implicated in conditions including depression and obsessive compulsive disorder ( 'Some people may also be hypersensitive to oxytocin,' adds Sarah. Advertisement Also known as the love hormone, oxytocin creates feelings of trust and a desire to care. Falling in love quickly is also a shared experience of people with ADHD, which may be linked with the disorder's symptoms of impulsivity. But it may just be a personality trait. For some, there is excitement to be found in the chaos, and boredom in the monotony. Advertisement FIVE WAYS TO BREAK UP WITH EMOPHILIA Overcoming the need to chase the rush of falling for someone isn't easy, as many of our relationship desires are ingrained. 'I would ask an emophiliac: 'Is it working for you?'", Sarah says. 'If the answer is yes, and you're happy flitting from one relationship to another, keep doing what you are doing. If the answer is no, I'd recommend these tips.' 1. Go Cold Turkey Advertisement If you are a serial dater, go cold turkey – including no sex or romantic relations – to focus on yourself. Discover the qualities you like in yourself and note the ways in which you are capable without having a significant other. Then, pick up conscious dating when the time is right. 'When you find the confidence to make the right choices, you will no longer let your drive for a feeling choose for you,' says Sarah. Advertisement 'It will be hard work, but worth it.' 2. Spot The Red Flags Some red flags are universal. For example, a lack of respect or signs of attempting to control another person. Advertisement However, others will be more specific to you. For example, how do you feel about their financial situation, living arrangements, family set-up or beliefs? It's easy for a friend to say: 'That's a red flag', but ask yourself if it really is for you. Write down your deal-breakers, then ensure when connecting with someone that you ask the questions that will unveil these warning signs. Advertisement 3. Note What Hasn't Worked Sit back and really think about the patterns you have fallen into with each romantic partner. What happened? Where did it go wrong? Self-awareness is important in the decision-making process. If necessary, write out an action plan for the next time someone catches your attention. Advertisement 4. Listen To Friends You may get so caught up in the rush of a new partner that you forget the concerns of those closest to you. Take time to speak to a family member or friend who knows you well and has historically given you honest advice. Run through any worries or ask for feedback on new partners. Advertisement Your friends don't have to love or even like your partner, but if they have concerns about them, it's worth hearing them. This can be a failing for people with emophilia, who can only see the positives of a new crush. 5. Consult A Therapist Therapists or counsellors can help you to understand and manage emophilia. Advertisement 'Therapists help bring you into the here and now and find internal validation, rather than seeking external validation from others,' says Sarah. 'That means that those with emophilia can consciously connect with themselves and with others when dating.'
