Tyson Fury hits back at Daniel Dubois critics in X-rated rant
Dubois has been accused of quitting in his showdown with Oleksandr Usyk - but Tyson Fury has hit back at the claims and insisted his fellow countryman did himself proud Tyson Fury has fiercely defended Daniel Dubois against accusations he 'quit' during his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday evening. Dubois fell short in his bid to become Britain's first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999, suffering a heartbreaking loss to the Ukrainian fighter. Usyk dominated from the first bell, though 'Triple D' showed glimpses of promise in the early stages and found some success during the fourth round. However, his efforts proved unsuccessful against the 'Cat', who floored the Brit in the fifth round with a devastating right hand before landing a crushing left moments later, prompting the referee to wave off the contest. Following Saturday's bout, numerous critics have branded Dubois a quitter, reports All Out Fighting. This marks not the first occasion the fighter has faced such harsh allegations, with similar claims emerging after his initial encounter with Usyk and his clash with Joe Joyce, where many believed the young Briton surrendered. Despite the backlash, Fury maintains his compatriot performed admirably and has strongly rejected suggestions that the 27-year-old threw in the towel. Speaking in a social media video, Fury said: "Right guys, quick one. I keep getting asked about this Daniel Dubois situation and all this quitting stuff and whatever else. Here's the facts. The facts are, young Daniel D's best against one of the greatest champions that has ever been and he was not good enough... he came up short. He got put down twice. What do you want him to do? Die in the ring? There is no first place for getting battered and still losing. "He did his best, he was not going to win the fight. He's better off getting out of there. There is a lot of jealousy in boxing. Especially when an individual is making a lot of money. A lot of jealous fighters... slagging someone off who did his best and had the guts to get in there. There is no cowards in boxing. When you are in that ring and fighting world heavyweight champions, there is no cowards. So all credit deserves to Daniel. He worked his b******* from being an eight year old to being world champion and fighting Usyk for the undisputed." What lies ahead for Dubois is uncertain, but Fury insists he has every reason to hold his head high after performing before a packed Wembley Stadium. "Now he is sitting at home, multi millionaire at 27 and doing whatever the f*** he wants. Daniel, if you ever get to see this, chin up son. Your dad is proud, everybody is proud of you. You have come from a kid to a man to being the world heavyweight champion and boxed at Wembley in front of 100,000 people. You cannot beat that kid," he continued. "And, if you ever want to do any training with a f****** real straight man, get yourself to Morecambe anytime you want kid because there is no jealousy here and there is no people putting this doubt in you. I call them 'dreamcrushers' and jealous b******s. Exactly, that is what you are. A load of dirty jealous w******. Get up Daniel Dubois!" When is Tyson Fury's next fight? Following his announcement of a comeback to the ring, British boxing star Fury has confirmed his third clash with Usyk is scheduled for 18 April 2026 at Wembley Stadium. The 36-year-old posted a fight poster showing himself and the Ukrainian on Instagram, with the caption: "April 18, 2026 Wembley Stadium. The trilogy! UK. contact @spencerbrownmrgoldstar for tickets." Having gone 24 rounds with the Ukrainian fighter, the 'Gypsy King' continues to insist he secured victory in their December rematch. "My last fight was a clear f****** victory for The Gypsy King. Anybody in boxing can see that. A complete load of dogs ***," he stated. "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."

Darts star Daryl Gurney ‘held back by security' in furious backstage row with Gerwyn Price
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GERWYN PRICE and Daryl Gurney were involved in more angry scenes backstage after their World Matchplay bust-up. The pair ended their clash with a fiery ruckus on Monday night with the Welshman - who won 10-7 - aggressively grabbing his rival's hand. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Gerwyn Price and Daryl Gurney had a backstage bust-up after their fiery handshake But it kicked off behind-the-scenes with Gurney having to be restrained by security as Price did his post-match interview with talkSPORT. Damian Vlottes, from the Dutch Darts Draait Door podcast, said: 'Gurney was literally at the door with his head round the corner. 'Two security guards had to hold him back. He clearly wanted to confront Price again. He came in swearing.' Former top player Vincent Van der Voort added: 'He was ready for a nice, friendly chat. READ MORE IN DARTS PAT'S THE WAY Emma Paton stuns in bold sleeveless outfit for World Matchplay Darts 'He was absolutely fuming. Still insisting he did nothing wrong, that it was all on Price. 'I only spoke to Daryl afterwards. All he said was, 'I didn't do anything wrong.' He was angry, really angry. There was no calm conversation. He made it clear he's not a fan of Price. 'But I imagine Price would say the opposite. There's so much emotion involved. I don't mind it though, adds spice to the sport. As long as it doesn't turn physical, this sort of tension has its place.' The players have history of aggro and the contest at Blackpool's Winter Gardens became more feisty as it progressed. BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS Gurney was clearly winding up the Welshman with mocking gestures and facial expressions. Price responded with his typical super-loud leg-winning celebration roars. The first flashpoint came immediately after the match concluded. Gerwyn Price and Daryl Gurney in heated ruckus on stage at World Matchplay Darts Vlottes said: 'He gave him the handshake, very firmly. I thought it was a fantastic moment to watch. Then Price said something, Gurney looked taken aback and stormed off the stage. You could see how intense it was. 'You could tell Gurney was already starting to wind things up. Constantly provoking.' Van der Voort added: 'There was a bit of mimicking, body language… you could feel the tension rising between them. 'He was at it throughout, gesturing, little games. That's fine. But to blow up like that straight after the match… clearly a lot of bottled-up frustration. It's unfortunate, but at least we've got something to talk about now.' Despite the incident dominating social media and on Sky Sports, Price asked not to be questioned about Gurney in the post-match press conference. Vlottes continued: 'No questions about it were allowed. We had plenty lined up, but we were told not to ask. That wasn't the journalists, it was the PDC's decision.' Van der Voort added: 'That's where they fall short, in my opinion. It's a shame. Sport is emotion, and this sort of thing happens in every sport.' Price did touch on the subject, saying: 'I've learnt to try and keep my emotions in tact at key points sometimes. I did today in two or three legs where my head was going to blow off. I just had to keep it in.' Price did later post on his Instagram story: 'Have to be careful these days, I'm down to light cruiser weight.' In amongst all the aggro, Michael van Gerwen made a light-hearted attempt to calm down the situation. Van der Voort said: 'He came out of the players' room, he had to play next and said, 'Come on lads, calm down' in the corridor.' It's not the first time the pair have clashed. They have had previous rows in the Premier League which started at Sheffield in 2019, when had to be separated by security on that occasion.

Top Tech: Best Premier League TV deals with EE, Sky and Virgin's sports plans
The Premier League is weeks away from making a comeback, so TV writer Jake Hackney has broken down the latest deals that provide access to the biggest games from the top flight, as well as the EFL and Champions League. Football fans are counting down the days to the new Premier League season, and there's not long to wait. We're now just weeks away from the 2025/26 campaign, which kicks off on August 15 with Liverpool vs Bournemouth. The opening weekend also comprises several other must-see fixtures, including Wolves vs Man City, Chelsea vs Crystal Palace and Man United vs Arsenal. All of these games will be aired on Sky Sports, which is the leading broadcaster of the Premier League in the UK. From the new season, Sky is ramping up its top flight coverage from 128 matches to a 'record' minimum of 215, alongside coverage of the EFL, SPFL, WSL and Bundesliga. However, Sky isn't the only brand to offer Sky Sports coverage to its customers, with Virgin Media and EE also offering access with their own bundles. This means fans have several options if they want to enjoy the Premier League, as well as the Champions League and Europa League. Ahead of the new season, we've taken a look at the latest sports deals from Sky, Virgin and EE Sky's discounted sports package is the most affordable in our round-up, costing £35 per month for the flagship Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle. This price is for new customers only and is £336 less than the standard £49 price tag. For this, customers can watch nine Sky Sports channels including Main Event, Premier League, Football, F1, Golf and Tennis. There are also more than 100 regular TV channels such as Sky Atlantic, as well as free Netflix and Discovery+ subscriptions. This is only the basic Discovery+ plan though and doesn't include TNT Sports. This can be added to the package for £20 extra, compared to the £30.99 it costs when signing up directly. The same Sky package is available on a 31-day rolling basis for those who prefer flexibility, but it comes with a higher cost of £43 per month and £20 upfront. The main downside with Sky's Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle is that the price will go up to the standard £49 after the 24-month term, but this marks the end of a contract and customers are free to cancel if they wish. Sky is also one of the many providers which increases its monthly prices every April. This year saw a 6.2% rise on its TV packages, and while the firm hasn't yet confirmed the April 2026 changes, we may expect something similar. Virgin Media Virgin Media has quietly launched a Summer of Sports sale, with a selection of TV and broadband packages that come with Sky Sports access now more than £330 off. The sale runs until September 2 and is available on three bundle, including the Bigger Combo bundle + Sports. Reduced from £65.99 to £54.99 – a £264 drop – this includes more than 200 TV channels, with eight from Sky Sports such as Main Event, Football and F1. It also provides 516Mbps fibre broadband and is the 'lowest ever monthly price' for this plan. Also at a record low is the Biggest Combo bundle, which offers the biggest discount of £336. Down from £78.99 to £64.99, this offers the same TV and Sky Sports channels and 516Mbps broadband, but also throws in Sky Cinema and a free Netflix subscription. Last up is Virgin's 'best value' package, the Mega Volt bundle. Virgin's most pricey plan is now £120 off as it's dropped from £84.99 to £79.99, but it comes with a lot. With this, customers can enjoy more than 230 TV channels including Sky Sports HD and Sky Cinema HD, plus Netflix, 1,130Mbps broadband and an O2 SIM card with unlimited data, minutes and texts. Virgin also offers a discounted TNT Sports add-on for £18, cheaper than the £30.99 it costs to join direct. Similarly to Sky, a downside of the 24-month plans is that they will increase at least twice during the minimum term. For example, Virgin has already confirmed the Bigger Combo bundle + Sports will rise to £58.49 from April 2026 and £61.99 from April 2027. EE Like Virgin, EE's packages include a triple whammy of TV, sports channels and fibre broadband, but there are some major differences. The brand offers two sports packages, 'Sport' and 'Big Sport'. EE Sport comes with all four TNT Sports channels through Discovery+ Premium, so members can enjoy select games from the Premier League, Champions League and Europa League. It also comes with EE's entry-level Full Fibre 74 Essentials broadband at a total monthly cost of £52.99. However, there's no Sky Sports channels included here. For that, customers must opt for Big Sport, which includes full Sky Sports access through a NOW Sports subscription, on top of TNT Sports and Discovery+ Premium and Full Fibre 74. This bumper bundle comes in at a total cost of £77.99 per month, the most expensive in our round-up. While customers get a lot for their money, it works out more than Virgin 's comparable plan and will eventually increase to £87.99 per month after the April 2027 price rise. However, EE offers customers the flexibility of switching packages at any time during their subscription. This means that while the Premier League takes a break each summer, members could move over to the EE Entertainment bundle to enjoy Sky Cinema until the football returns. The Verdict There's no 'best' deal in this round-up, it ultimately boils down to needs and budget. Those looking for Sky Sports alongside superfast broadband may want to consider Virgin's bundles, while those simply wanting to enjoy the new football season could opt for Sky's TV and sport package. However, those torn between Virgin's and EE's options will want to take a close look at the price and what's included, as there is a clear winner among the two. Virgin's Bigger Combo bundle + Sports with 516Mbps broadband and TNT Sports bolted on as an extra comes to £72.99 per month. While EE's Big Sport plan offers the same TNT channels, it doesn't include regular TV and also offers slower broadband, but for £5 more each month. This comes to £120 over the life of the plan – a big difference considering customers get less for their money. Sky's Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle is the cheapest, but that's because it's something of a no frills plan. That's because it includes around half as many channels as Virgin's TV packages and there's no broadband included, but for shoppers who are happy with their current internet setup and just want to kick back and enjoy the football, this could be the ideal choice.
