WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has claimed Tyson Fury is still bitter about his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury, 36, lost his high-profile rematch with Usyk by unanimous decision last December – a defeat that saw him announce his retirement for the fifth time.

The Gypsy King has claimed he is happy hanging up his gloves and spending some much needed time with his family after years of battling in the ring.

But WBC president Sulaiman, who has been in regular contact with the Brit fighter, claims that Fury is still holding on to his second defeat to Usyk.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Sulaiman said: “I call him regularly and he said: ‘Oh I’m so happy, retired, I’m here with my wife.’

“He didn’t hint whatsoever that he was planning on coming back.

“He told me he was not happy with the decision in the second fight with Usyk.

” He’s still very bitter about the judges’ scoring and he was very upset but he was retired, that’s what he said.”

All three judges scored the Riyadh bout 116-112 in Usyk’s favour, securing an impressive double for the Ukrainian.

Fury announced his retirement in January, but fans have been skeptical of whether or not the decision is final.

That’s because Fury has retired and returned to the sport FOUR TIMES before.

And even Sulaiman has his suspicions that Fury could do yet another U-turn.

He added: “Maybe like in The Godfather, the movie, maybe we’ll hear him say: ‘Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!’ We don’t know…”

The idea of a return to the ring to put on a all-British bout with Anthony Joshua has been floated, with fans desperate to see the pair trade blows after years of avoiding one and other.

While Sulaiman has promised Fury a world title fight if he does come back to boxing, setting up a potential trilogy with Usyk or a domestic dust-up with Daniel Dubois.

In another recent interview, the president of the Mexican sanctioning body told The Action Network: “If Tyson decides to come back to boxing, he always has a door open with the WBC.

“He will always be number one so absolutely (we will give him a world title shot if he returns) because he is top of the top.”

LANDO NORRIS reignited his title hopes as he bagged pole position in a sizzling qualifying session at the Austrian Grand Prix.

It feels like do or die for Norris in the title race this weekend, after losing huge ground to his teammate Oscar Piastri in Canada last time out.

His crash into the back of Piastri left him out of the race with three laps to go and the Aussie driver, who finished fourth, increased his lead to the Brit in the championship by 22 points, with Verstappen 21 adrift of Norris in third.

Verstappen suffered a nightmare afternoon in his home race, finishing in seventh with Red Bull out-qualified by their junior team as Liam Lawson came sixth.

In fairness to the four-time world champ, a yellow flag for Pierre Gasly scuppered Verstappen’s final lap in the dying moments.

Charles Leclerc separated the two McLarens with a second-place result ahead of Piastri in third as Lewis Hamilton claimed fourth.

There was a delay in Q2 due to a red flag after Ferrari‘s Hamilton ran onto the gravel and set fire to a patch of grass at turn 10.

Russell survived the first session by the skin of his teeth as he squeezed through in 11th after a big error in the middle sector before ending up in fifth overall.

It was a disaster for Yuki Tsunoda at Red Bull’s home race as he suffered another early exit in Q1 in 18th.

The Japanese driver has been 18th or lower in four of the last five qualifyings, which is a worrying trend.

His 18th result is also the WORST qualifying position in the history of Red Bull on their home turf.

It was an afternoon to forget for ex-Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz who was axed all the way back in 19th, blasting his “undriveable” car.

The Spanish Williams driver has now racked up three consecutive Q1 exits this season.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC gatecrashed Aryna Sabalenka’s pre-Wimbledon press conference before offering some constructive criticism.

Women’s world No.1 Sabalenka was coming towards the end of her chat when Djokovic surprisingly entered before it was his turn to face reporters in SW19.

Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, was told Sabalenka was in the middle of her final response but cheekily informed the press officer that he was going to interrupt his friend’s conference.

The 24-time Grand Slam winner could be heard whispering: “Come on, let’s go, please” with a grin as he shocked Sabalenka with his entrance on Saturday.

Sabalenka smiled and said goodbye to the media, but then assumed the role of moderator and asked Djokovic about their recent hit at the All-England club.

The pair were filmed during a practice session earlier in the week as Sabalenka looks to win her first Wimbledon and Djokovic goes for an a record-equalling eighth title, alongside Roger Federer.

Sabalenka, 27, said: “You see guys, come in here then” before asking Djokovic to sit down in her seat, which he refused.

The US Open champion then asked Djokovic: “First of all, let me ask a question. What do you think about hitting with me? How do you see my level? Am I good?’

Djokovic jokingly responded: “I think you have the potential. You’re, like, a really talented player. You have nice strokes, good technique.

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS

“Can I be honest? You’re lacking intensity on the court. You don’t have enough intensity.

“It’s too flat. You’ve got to lighten up a little bit, put some power in it.”

Sabalenka, holding in laughter, then said: “Really! That’s what you are going to say right now?

“Before this guy was my favourite player, but not anymore obviously!”

There could be some truth in Djokovic’s words of wisdom, as Sabalenka lost the French Open final to Coco Gauff last month.

The Belarusian said it “hurt to show such terrible tennis” in what she described as “the worst final I ever played” after losing in three sets to Gauff.

In her runners-up speech, the three-time Slam winner added: “‘I think she won the match not because she played incredible, just because I made all of those mistakes.”

Meanwhile, Djokovic is seeking a record-extending 25 Grand Slam titles, but at 38 years old knows his time is running out amid the rise of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

The legendary Serbian said: “‘It’s great to be back. I love Wimbledon. I’ve always loved it. I think in the last six editions, I had six finals.

“I’ve been playing very well here, maybe it’s been the most consistent Grand Slam for me in the last 10 years.

“When I come here, I feel extra inspired to deliver the best tennis. Whether it could be my ‘last dance’, I’m not sure. My wish is to play for several more years.

“I would love to be healthy physically and also mentally motivated to keep on playing at the highest level. That’s the goal, but you never know at this stage.”

OZEMPIC-PENIS sounds like a sexually transmitted disease you really wouldn’t want to catch.

But it’s actually a term that has cropped up online, largely amongst men on Reddit, who are saying they’ve noticed a change to their penis size as a side-effect of weight loss injections.

Men who have been taking Ozempic say they’ve noticed a change to their penis size, here we reveal all you need to know[/caption]

One anonymous user wrote: “I recently measured myself down there and noticed I gained about one inch.”

Another asked: “Increased size, anyone else notice?”

Weight loss drugs were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes, and Ozempic is still prescribed for just that.

Wegovy and Mounjaro, which are available on the NHS, and Saxenda, meanwhile are licensed for weight management, but only obese Brits (a BMI over 30), or those that are overweight (a BMI of 27) with a related comorbidity like high blood pressure or high cholesterol, are eligible for them.

They work by mimicking naturally occurring hormones, like GLP-1, that make you feel full, slow digestion and regulate appetite, leading to sometimes drastic fat loss.

The health benefits can be huge considering obesity can cause cancer, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer and more.

But is it too good to be true that the drugs can add inches to your penis as well?

We asked GP and men’s health and erectile dysfunction expert Dr Jeff Foster, Medical Director of Manual, to explain all…

Can taking weight loss drugs really make your penis bigger?

Weight loss jabs can make your penis LOOK bigger[/caption]

THE short answer is no, but the drugs can certainly make your penis LOOK bigger.

“It’s true,” says Dr Foster. “You naturally have a small fat pad just above the base of the top of your penis.

“As you develop abdominal fat – and men in particular will develop abdominal fat compared to women, who put it on their bum and thighs more – you can find this small, little fat pad starts to become fuller.

“It appears, therefore, that everything has shrunk.

“It’s as if your penis has gone inside, but all that’s really happening is the surrounding tissue to your penis has become more protruded – the true penis size hasn’t changed.

“And in fact, about 70 per cent of your penis is external, there’s another 30 per cent inside that you just never see.”

Pre-Ozempic, some men found this illusion so upsetting that they’d be referred for liposuction to have the fat pad reduced.

“The removal of this fat pad just above the penis does make it look bigger, but the problem is, it’s not actually any bigger, it’s just the appearance of the outward area,” says Dr Foster.

Losing some of that fat pad as a side-effect of weight loss drugs can have the same effect though – and doesn’t involve a surgical procedure.

“It’s a win, isn’t it?” says Dr Foster. “You’re going to be healthier, and you might end up looking like you’ve got a bigger penis.

“I mean, no men are ever going to go, ‘Ah, I’m really worried my penis is too big’.”

Do fat jabs help improve erections too?

Fat jabs can help improve erections and your sex drive will go up[/caption]

“DEFINITELY,” says Dr Foster

“Fat increases oestrogen levels in men, and it also reduces testosterone and increases insulin resistance.

“All of those three together will have a really negative impact on your testosterone production.

“And if you haven’t got testosterone, or not as much of it, you don’t get a libido, you don’t get erections.

“So it’s really simple: by reducing your body fat, your erections get better, your sex drive goes up and you feel more manly.”

Does that mean weight loss meds could eventually be prescribed for ED?

“IT could be one of your tools as part of an overall arsenal of treating erectile dysfunction (ED), but you wouldn’t use it as a primary treatment,” says Dr Foster, who says that crucially you need to find the root cause of the problem.

“The biggest cause of erectile dysfunction in men is still heart disease.

“If you’ve got narrowing of the arteries you can’t get a decent erection.

“Your penile artery is almost identical in calibre and design to your coronary artery.

“That’s how they discovered Viagra – it was designed for blood pressure in your heart originally, and they found it worked really well down below.”

He adds: “This is why we say to men, if you have got erectile dysfunction, find out why.

“The worst thing you can do is just buy some over the counter tablet without finding out why [it’s happening].

“We say that on average, if you have an arterial cause for erectile dysfunction, you have about a three-year window before something bad happens to your heart, like a heart attack – so really understand the cause.”

This is when weight loss drugs could make a difference, by supporting overall heart health, and therefore, erection health.

“If we think there’s a cardiovascular cause, then using something like Ozempic or Mounjaro could be amazing, because not only do you fix your erection, but you actually fix the underlying process that’s causing the whole thing,” says Dr Foster.

“It improves your heart and your penis.”

Are there any potential penile risks?

The weight loss jabs may however reduce muscle mass, a problem that needs to be managed, whether you’re worried about how your penis looks or not[/caption]

“I’VE heard the rumour that allegedly GLP-1 drugs may reduce penis size or have adverse effects on male health in general,” says Dr Foster.

“The theory behind it is whether testosterone or male wellbeing is affected by GLP-1s.”

He explains: “GLP-1s work by improving satiety, so you eat less.

“By doing that, you reduce body fat, but the other part of that, which we’re now seeing evidence of, is that if you’re not careful, you also start to reduce muscle mass.

“That’s the big worry, because on one hand, yes, you want to get rid of excess fat, but you don’t want to reduce your muscle because that’s not healthy for anyone.”

Loss of muscle can lead to falls, lack of mobility, increased fractures, and in older age, even premature death.

“[People] think that sarcopenia-effect (muscle loss) is because of lowered testosterone, but it’s probably not a direct effect of [GLP-1s],” he explains.

Muscle loss is a problem that should be managed though, whether you’re worried about how your penis looks or not.

“If you are going to be taking a weight-loss drug and want to maintain your masculinity, then you have to make sure you eat enough protein and do weight bearing exercise,” says Dr Foster firmly.

“You must do both, and that will help your erections, because we are starting to see the effects of weight loss drugs causing loss of muscle and that’s having massively negative impacts on male health.

“To maintain your testosterone, to maintain your erection, make sure you do some decent exercise, and make sure you eat enough protein, even if you don’t feel like it, because otherwise you’re going to lose more important things [than fat alone], like sexual function and muscle.”

THERE’S nothing more unsightly than enjoying time in the garden on a glorious day, only to be faced with ugly brown patches on your grass.

But luckily, green-fingered Brits can say goodbye to that and hello to a lush green lawn – and it’s sure to make your neighbours envious.

”I was sceptical, and nothing really happened before day 10, but it’s now day 13 and there’s a lot of grass coming up.”

Some buyers were not so impressed. One left a measly three-star review that said: “The results were just okay, nothing special, and I didn’t notice that it grew faster than the normal grass seeds.”

KERRY Katona’s daughter Heidi breaks down in tears as she admits: “I saw things as a child I should not have seen.”

The Atomic Kitten star’s turbulent life has been well publicised over the years; from relationships to an abusive partner and financial struggles that left her bankrupt twice over.

But Heidi, 18, reveals she doesn’t want to go down the same route[/caption]

But although she’s now turned her life around and is a millionaire thanks to OnlyFans, 18-year-old Heidi insists: “I couldn’t do OnlyFans. Mum has said I can’t do it either.

“It is not the route in life I want to take, I want to be a lawyer or a property developer.

“Mum sometimes struggles with men seeing her in that sexual way. I wouldn’t like that at all. I’ve not paid to see her pictures on there, that would be weird, but I know what she does.”

Heidi is speaking out today, in her first interview, to hit back at the critics who have called former Mum of the Year Kerry a “prostitute” and “trollop”.

The teen says: “They should realise Kerry Katona is now rolling in it – she drives a Lamborghini.

“I couldn’t be prouder of her. She has worked so hard. People forget OnlyFans is just a new thing; she has been singing, doing reality work and TV appearances for nearly 25 years.

“She has never stopped. She put us through private school, we go on amazing holidays, she just bought me clothes for the weekend.”

OnlyFans has helped pay for a five bedroom detached house in Cheshire, too.

Growing up down the road in Warrington wasn’t so luxurious.

Kerry, 44, grew up in foster care, did topless modelling and lapdancing to pay the bills before getting her singing break.

She has had her own reality shows, won I’m A Celeb, appeared on Big Brother and Dancing On Ice.

But that turbulent life has seen Kerry go to rehab for a cocaine addiction that was so severe she had to have nose reconstruction.

Heidi says: “I’d be stupid to even try drugs after what mum has been through – I know how destructive they can be.”

She was too young to remember Kerry going to rehab but she has always been honest with her kids about taking them.

‘Very anti drugs’

Heidi says: “I am very, very anti drugs.

“At school there was this older boy, I thought he was cute until I overheard him say, ‘You know that Heidi Katona’s mum, she’s a coke head. She probably does drugs in front of her kids too’.

“I was upset, it was cruel; of course I’ve never seen mum doing drugs.”

But what she has seen is difficulties during Kerry’s relationships.

Kerry has children Molly, now 23, and Lilly, 22, with first husband Westlife star Brian McFadden and Heidi and her younger brother Max, 17, shared drug dealer dad Mark Croft.

Kerry’s third husband George Kay was father to her youngest daughter, DJ, 11.

Heidi, who has ditched the surname Croft for Katona, saw George as her dad.

I’ve never understood why someone would want to bully – or hate on – someone’s parents like that. It’s rude, plus, I can’t control what my mum does

Heidi

Throughout our interview Heidi is upbeat, positive, chatty and straight-talking but it is when we mention George that tears come to her eyes – and she talks about the things she saw as a child.

George violently attacked Kerry and once even threatened to kill DJ by injecting her with heroin. They split in 2015. Years later, at just 39 he died of an accidental drug overdose.

Heidi says: “I am grieving for him. But I also saw my dad hitting my mum. She didn’t realise at the time how much I saw.

“That is not nice, it was horrid, and has an effect on who I am now. I saw things as a child I should not have seen.

“Mum sent me to a therapist but I don’t see the point of it.

“I try to be tough. Like mum I use humour to cover things up, but it’s not always easy.”

Petite Heidi has had to be tough when defending Kerry.

She says: “There was one time I was walking through Alderley Edge when a group of lads started shouting, ‘Your mum is a sl*g…a prostitute’.

“They started following me. I wasn’t scared, I was angry. Mum has always told me to tell people like that where to go.

“I respond to abuse by saying, ‘Tell your dad to unsubscribe then!’, or, ‘You know that Lamborghini my mum drives… your dad helped pay for that’.

“Sometimes I say, ‘Obviously, you’ve noticed that she’s rich? Yeah! She’s doing great’.

“I’ve never understood why someone would want to bully – or hate on – someone’s parents like that. It’s rude, plus, I can’t control what my mum does.”

‘Struggling for money’

Even pensioners have attacked Kerry.

Shaking her head Heidi says: “I was in a cafe, and this woman started chatting to me about celebrities and said, ‘Do you know who I can’t stand…that Kerry Katona, she’s a right tramp, a trollop on OnlyFans’. I didn’t say a word.”

Kerry and her, clearly intelligent, daughter are a joy to watch together; laughing and sharing jokes, with a relationship that looks more like friends than mother and daughter.

She’s done glamour before, she’s been pictured with her boobs out, there’s not a huge difference. This way she takes control and makes money from her sexuality

Heidi

But their teen years couldn’t be more different. Kerry had started taking cocaine at 14 while Heidi only went out in Manchester for her first “proper” night out in February to celebrate her 18th because, unlike many of her friends, she “never went down the fake ID route”.

She says: “In the loos women were openly taking cocaine. They asked if I wanted some…no thanks! I thought, ‘If you want to do it, fine, but I don’t even want to see it’.”

Heidi says she has to be tough when defending her mum[/caption]

And although she never wants to see her mum on OnlyFans she gave her backing to the idea when Kerry suggested it during Covid lockdown.

After speaking to her then fiance Ryan Mahoney, who she split from last year, Kerry sat her kids down and said: “I want to do OnlyFans – tell me if you have a problem with that’.”

She explained exactly what the subscription site was.

Heidi says: “Lockdown meant her other work had stopped. We all agreed she should do it, she’s a grown woman who makes her own decisions.

“She bought us all Airpods with her earnings. I thought, ‘This is great’.

“She’s done glamour before, she’s been pictured with her boobs out, there’s not a huge difference. This way she takes control and makes money from her sexuality.

“We didn’t know at the time that she was struggling for money. She has hidden a lot from us over the years.”

Heidi knows she is luckier than Kerry was growing up because “mum will never let us forget that”.

Now she has decided she wants to be famous and knows Kerry can help her.

She says: “People will scream ‘nepotism’ but mum can only open a door, I have to make a career work.”

She embarrasses me in front of boys and I can recite her catchphrases before she even comes out with them

Heidi

Heidi, who has appeared on The Voice, has her head screwed on. She is also doing A levels in sociology, psychology and criminology and looking at universities but would love to sing or go on I’m A Celeb.

She doesn’t feel she has “enough life experience” for Love Island and wouldn’t want her mum seeing her kissing on TV.

But she would have had Love Island type lip filler – if her mum had her own way. Laughing, Heidi says: “When I was about 13 I told mum I wanted them done.

“So when I turned 18 she was like, ‘Right, I’ve spoken to the clinic, the doctor will do your lips… get them done, I think you should, they will look amazing’ I said, ‘No!’ I’d changed my mind. But she was like, ‘Go on. Why don’t you?’ For now I am happy as I am.”

Life in the Katona household does seem happy. But surely Kerry Katona star has some faults?

“Yes, she does,” laughs Heidi, “She embarrasses me in front of boys and I can recite her catchphrases before she even comes out with them.

“She can be so loud too…but then so can I.

“I couldn’t ask for a better mum. She’s my best friend – but I never tell her that or I’d never hear the end of it.”

A MUCH-LOVED waterpark has been completely demolished six years after it closed down.

It was once UK’s biggest waterpark attracting hundreds of visitors[/caption]

Wet ‘n’ Wild in North Shields has been completely flattened as seen in the new drone pictures.

Last year, fans of the closed-down attraction had hoped it would reopen after it was sold to an unnamed developer.

Former owners Serco said at the time: “We’ve agreed to sell the site and have exchanged contracts with a local developer.”

However, Bloom Developments submitted an application to demolish “the building formerly known as Wet ‘n’ Wild, including external slides”.

They were granted the permission last August and the work was estimated to take eight weeks to complete.

Heavy machinery and diggers were first spotted at the site last November.

The application read: “Property has recurrent breaking and entering with increasing anti-social behaviour.

“Demolition will enable future development.”

It came after a local superstar DJ Schak and his pals entered the abandoned site and livestreamed a “rave” on social media last year.

They were arrested on suspicion of causing public nuisance but were quickly released “without further action”.

Opened by Gladiators’ Jet in 1993, the Wet ‘n’ Wild was once the biggest indoor waterpark in the UK.

It was home to the country’s biggest water slide, the 541ft-long Black Hole, as well as the Kamikaze, Abyss and the Lazy River.

Despite thousands of visitors flocking to the site in the years after it opened, the waterpark was forced to close back in 2019 following both maintenance issues and a drop in visitor numbers.

Popular Betway Premiership side Kaizer Chiefs are bringing Nkanyiso Shinga from Portugal to Soweto. Is the Fawaaz Basadien pursuit over?

MANILA, Philippines — The Kawasaki Motors Philippines Corporation (KMPC) has appealed for “unity and understanding” amid the labor strike initiated by the exclusive bargaining agent of its rank-and-file employees, the Kawasaki United Labor Union (KULU). The KMPC said in a statement that the continued work stoppage, which now enters its 39th day, has resulted in
