Tyson Fury to face bear-wrestling Arslanbek Makhmudov in latest comeback

“That would be such a world-billing event that we would be able to facilitate a Katie Taylor fight here.

“A lot of stars need to align. Katie’s manager needs to agree, Katie’s promoter needs to agree, Tyson Fury’s promoter needs to agree.

“I am very confident that all three are coming to the sense that this is one of Ireland’s greatest sporting athletes and it would be such a ‘wow’ to have her here and for her to finish her career here.”

A possible stumbling block is if Joshua wants a ‘warm-up’ fight before he faces Fury, with promoter Eddie Hearn suggesting earlier this week that Wilder could be an option.

Fury warned Joshua time was running out, given he will end his own 16-month absence from the ring on Saturday against Russian boxer Makhmudov.

“This fight (with Joshua) was supposed to happen so many times over the last 10 years, but then someone has had one more fight in between and someone has got knocked out or injured,” Fury said.

“I think we should get this fight on as soon as possible in case something happens in between.

“The problem is that in heavyweight boxing anything can go wrong, there are no easy fights. And if you get knocked upside down, it’s finished, it’s done. I want it as the fight next and I’m sure AJ feels the same.

“Forget Wilder, the man is a shell of himself. Forget anyone else. Let me get through Saturday and then we will do the fight before the end of the year.

“I’ve been out of the ring longer than he has, 16 months out of the ring. Let’s do it, let’s dance.”

Suryavanshi vs Bumrah — Much-awaited duel offers expected fireworks

Bond said it was fun to watch Suryavanshi’s success. “The boys love it, seeing him around the group, but also watching the way he is scoring. It is something special because it is something I have never seen. I think that is what people get so excited about. They just haven’t seen anything like that before.”

The coach was also happy with his own department. “It is not only just the fast-bowling group, but the bowling group in general and the team have played really well. There is a quiet confidence about the way we are going about things.”

So it is only natural for Rajasthan Royals’ fast-bowling coach to reflect on the way Vaibhav Suryavanshi has taken the cricketing world by storm.The former New Zealand pacer, one of the fastest of all time, is particularly impressed by the freedom with which the teenager bats and his maturity. “It hasn’t just been reckless hitting,” Bond said. “He has seen out the good balls, picked the balls to hit.”He said there was clear growth in Suryavanshi’s game. “And there is growth with a little bit of stubble,” Bond smiled. “He is obviously looking a little bit older than he did last year. I would never have those expectations of him at such a young age. But the way he has managed so much cricket — churning out runs, bringing energy and wanting to come to training — it is remarkable.”ALSO READ | Suryavanshi vs Bumrah — Much-awaited duel offers expected fireworksBond said it was fun to watch Suryavanshi’s success. “The boys love it, seeing him around the group, but also watching the way he is scoring.
