Class Kelly
Josh Kelly is confident that he will show everyone why he believes he is world class.
The Brit boxer said: "Biea has shown he's got what plenty of others in my division haven't – the minerals to step up and fight me.
'You have to respect his warrior mentality but there are levels to this game, and on June 6, I will show him, and everyone watching on Channel 5, why I am world class.
'Biea will no doubt think he'll be able to walk me down, but I'll make him miss, and then I'll make him pay.
'It will be beautiful and brutal.'

Tottenham set to make formal approach for Brentford boss Thomas Frank - as Dane demands his own backroom staff
Tottenham are expected to make a formal approach to Brentford manager Thomas Frank this week with the Dane keen to bring his backroom staff with him. Brentford had been mulling over promoting from within should Frank depart, with coach Justin Cochrane a candidate, but they are considering an approach for Ipswich Town's Kieran McKenna. Spurs sacked Ange Postecoglou on Friday but Mail Sport understands that he is already the target for another Premier League club. Spurs also relieved his assistants Mile Jedinak, Nick Montgomery and Sergio Raimundo of their duties with Matt Wells and goalkeeping coach Rob Burch staying. Though that could change depending on who arrives. If Spurs fail to reach agreement over Frank's estimated £9m compensation, Fulham 's Marco Silva and Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner are considered alternative options. However, Spurs hope their sporting director Johan Lange, a former colleague of Frank at Danish side Lyngby, can exert some influence. The two coached together at Lyngby, and are said to have maintained a good relationship. Meanwhile, Cochrane, who is head of coaching at Brentford and part of Thomas Tuchel's England staff, was a former youth team coach at Spurs and his knowledge of the club could prove helpful if Frank makes the switch. In a further shake-up, Spurs are expected to hand Fabio Paratici a greater role alongside Lange later this summer following the departure of chief football officer Scott Munn. Spurs have also sacked Robert Vilahamn as women's team head coach after they just avoided relegation.

Love Island's Dejon Noel-Williams has priceless response to being called a nepo-baby because of his football legend dad
Love Island's Dejon Noel-Williams has a priceless response to being called a nepo baby because of his football legend dad. The personal trainer and semi-professional footballer, 26, from London, is one of the singletons ready to find The One on the upcoming series of the ITV2 dating show. Dejon currently plays for Bedford Town, having previously played for Oxford United, Wealdstone and the Grenada national team. But he already had connections in the sporting world from his father Gifton Noel-Williams, 45, who has played for Stoke City, Watford and Burnley. Ahead of the first episode of the reality programme hitting our screens on Monday, he reacted to being called a nepo baby because of his starry family. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. He said: 'I'm sorry, what's a nepo baby?' Dejon added while laughing: 'This is the first time I've ever heard of nepo baby, and this is no joke. I've never heard it before. 'The first time I've been called a nepo baby. I don't know how to react!' He has previously said: 'My dad being an ex-professional footballer, I've met all kinds of famous people through him. 'When I was younger it was weird because he was just my dad, but we'd go to a game and fans were asking for photos. 'I've met David Beckham, he was really nice.' Dejon's dad Gifton, a former Premier League striker, began his professional football career in 1996 and last played for Codicote in 2017 before retiring. During his time at Watford from 1996 to 2003, he was teammates with none other than Micah Hyde - the father of 2023 Love Island star Tyrique Hyde. Gifton and Micah looked to have been good friends, with their sons Dejon and Tyrique being the same age. And according to The Sun, Dejon is pals with Tyrique, who made it all the way to the final on Love Island two years ago with then-girlfriend Ella Thomas. The two boys both followed in their fathers' footsteps by becoming footballers themselves. And in his role as a personal trainer, Dejon also counts Tyrique as one of his clients, with the duo often sharing videos of them working out at the gym together. Asked what he was looking for in a girl in the villa, Dejon said he wanted someone who 'is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy'. Tyrique shot to fame on the 2023 series with his romance with Ella being heavily tested with some dramatic ups and downs. They exited the villa together, but shortly after announced they'd split in November 2023, before trying to give it another go. But, in February 2024, MailOnline exclusively revealed Ella and Tyrique had parted ways permanently - after six months as a couple. Meanwhile, Dejon is not the only footballing connection in the upcoming series of Love Island, as fans of the lower leagues may have spotted a star dubbed 'The Surrey Zidane' (pictured) Harry Cooksley (pictured), 29, is a midfielder for Southern League Premier South side Farnham Town, while also working as a gold trader and model A source told MailOnline: 'Ella and Tyrique have decided it's time to go their separate ways. 'They have such love for each other, but they often struggle to get along and as viewers saw in the villa, they're always arguing.' Meanwhile, Dejon is not the only footballing connection in the upcoming series of Love Island, as fans of the lower leagues may have spotted a star dubbed 'The Surrey Zidane'. Harry Cooksley, 29, is a midfielder for Southern League Premier South side Farnham Town, while also working as a gold trader and model. But more interestingly, his pastimes include being a body double for Arsenal and England star Declan Rice. Harry revealed: 'So when he does a shoot, any body close ups will actually be me. You'll never see my face, but you'll see my shoulder or chest, that kind of thing.' Love Island will be available to watch on ITV2 and to stream on ITVX from June 9.

Olympic bronze medallist Lewis Richardson wins pro debut… and can now enjoy his postponed birthday curry
LEWIS RICHARDSON secured a debut windaloo weekend. The Colchester lad turned 28 on Wednesday but could not celebrate with his professional boxing bow slated for last night in Ipswich. 3 Instead the southpaw booked a local curry restaurant for 15 loved ones and just had to deliver the goods in the ring. And the 2024 Olympic bronze winner did the job, beating tough Estonian Dmitri Protkunas 60-54 on points. The Brit ace had a loud crowd make the 29-minute drive over from his doorstep. And they cheered his slick southpaw work, rapid fists and the willingness to drop his hands to his waist, in an effort to get the cautious journeyman to engage. The Essex ace used to sell Pukka Pies at the Portman Road stadium a decade ago, while doing his school exams. And he returned to his old stomping ground for six one-sided rounds where he showed plenty of his amateur skill and future potential. Richardson had to bin his birthday plans to make the middleweight limit for this weekend. The spicy celebrations have been pushed back but the silky southpaw plans to put in a curry order worthy of a Gavin and Stacey special, to make up for the diet. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS 3 LIVE - FOLLOW ALL THE ACTION FROM FABIO WARDLEY VS JUSTIS HUNI AS IT HAPPENS AT PORTMAN ROAD 'The birthday is postponed for four days,' he revealed to us. 'The party is pushed back to Sunday. 'I have a curry house booked in Colchester for 15 of us and my mouth is watering just talking to you about it now. 'I can't even think about my order now. "But I can say for sure that I will sound like Smithy with the number of bhunas and naans and rice types I am going to order.' 3
