And when asked after beating Hanjalic about a rematch with Paul, he said: 'Jake Paul's running scared. Hey, Jake, the hand is fixed now. If he wants to step inside the ring, I guarantee you, next time I will knock him spark out.'
Fury had been set to make a comeback by facing former UFC fighter Darren Till in January but the fight did not materialise, with the former claiming in December that the latter did 'not want to abide by professional boxing rules'.

Cameron Norrie takes inspiration from Andy Murray in latest Wimbledon win
Jack Draper's surprise second-round loss on Thursday to former finalist Marin Cilic left Norrie as the last home hope standing in the men's draw in SW19. To the delight of high-spirited spectators on his favoured Court One, the 2022 semi-finalist delivered, recovering from a slow start to dispatch Italian world number 73 Mattia Bellucci 7-6 (5) 6-4 6-3. Cameron Norrie is here to stay 👇 It's a straight set victory for the Brit as he defeats Mattia Bellucci 7-6(5), 6-4, 6-3 to move into the fourth round 🇬🇧#Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 4, 2025 British number three Norrie will take on Chilean qualifier Nicolas Jarry in round four, with two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz a potential quarter-final opponent. 'It's important to use the crowd to your advantage,' he said. 'I was just pulling from random people, getting fired up with them. You can see they're loving it. 'Obviously Friday afternoon, people had a few drinks. I could feel that. Getting behind me. It was nice to see. 'I wanted to try to give them something to cheer about. I think the people quite like it when you look at them and get fired up. They feel like they've played a part in the win. 'I wanted to pull from the energy from not just my team but from some random people in the crowd. I've seen Andy Murray do that a lot in his matches. Yeah, it was so much fun today.' Norrie, who has plummeted from a career-high ranking of eighth to 61st, conceded he 'stole' an unconvincing opening set from Bellucci on a tie-break after being broken in the opening game. He gradually took control of a tight contest to enhance his enviable Court One record, having won eight of nine matches there across his career, including his impressive second-round success over 12th seed Frances Tiafoe. The 29-year-old is also open to returning to Centre Court – the scene of his four-set, last-four defeat to Novak Djokovic three years ago – for Sunday's showdown with Jarry but will not be making any official requests. 'If I'm playing my next match on Centre Court, that's great,' he said.

'I felt like today on Court One, there were a few difficult moments for me that the crowd got really fired up – some love 30 (down), love 40 (down). 'I managed to switch the energy and switch the momentum of the match. I think that was huge to use that today. Yeah, I felt that. 'I obviously played Centre Court a few times. The match with Djokovic, they got loud as well. I'm not saying that doesn't happen. 'I just feel a little bit more on Court One – it's maybe just a little bit biased (because of) winning there and playing well there.'

Report: UFC confirms plans for event at White House in 2026
July 4 - UFC plans to take its show to the White House when the United States puts on its 250th birthday celebration in 2026. The UFC confirmed to The Athletic on Friday that plans are underway to host a slate of fights on the White House grounds in Washington D.C., next year, with an expected summer date not specified. The confirmation comes a day after President Donald Trump shared those intentions to an Iowa crowd. "We're going to have a UFC fight, think of this, on the grounds of the White House," Trump said. "We have a lot of land there. ... We're going to have a UFC fight, championship fight, full fight." A friend of UFC president Dana White, Trump has regularly attended fights over the years, including taking in UFC 309 just days after being elected in November. He also attended fights in April and June. After Trump made his comments to Iowa supporters, White reposted a video of the president's remarks on Instagram. He added the caption: "This will be EPIC!!" No further details about the 2026 fights, including how far along plans have become, were shared. Should it come to fruition, it would become the first professional sporting event ever contested on White House grounds. --Field Level Media
