Heavyweight who claims he knocked out Tyson Fury creates OnlyFans account

American heavyweight Christopher Lovejoy, who claimed he knocked out Tyson Fury, has created an OnlyFans account to earn money alongside his boxing career.

The American star fought in 19 undefeated fights which all came against weak opponents with losing records, before losing to his toughest opposition Manuel Charr inside two rounds.

Lovejoy previously called out Fury to a fight while also claiming that he knocked out the heavyweight champion during a sparring session in 2018.

Now the 38-year-old has opened an account on subscription service OnlyFans with the view to earning more money from fans who are willing to pay for 'premium' content.

The 22-stone heavyweight plans to host 'pay-per-view' events with women on his private yacht in a bid to raise extra funds.

He joins four-division world champion Adrien Broner who has also opened an account with the subscription service alongside his stuttering boxing comeback.

Lovejoy has since returned to the ring, competing in Mexico where he dismissed an opponent with a losing record after his defeat by Charr.

He has recently began chasing an IBF eliminator clash with Filip Hrgovic after the likes of Tony Yoka, Andy Ruiz and Joseph Parker all turned down the opportunity to face the Croatian.

His recent activity also includes another call-out to Fury on social-media after the champion's fight with domestic rival Dillian Whyte was confirmed via purse bids.

The American who has been known previously for his trolling in boxing, claimed he previously knocked out Fury in sparring something which Fury strongly disputed at the time.

"Tyson, Tyson, Tyson, knock it off bro," Lovejoy claimed in a video posted to social media

"For one thing, you're calling out people who don't really want to fight - you know damn well Dillian Whyte don't want to fight nobody.

"You know damn well Usyk and Joshua about to have a rematch, you're not even involved in that, bro. So to make it real short and real simple, if you want that fight let's get it.

"I knocked your a** out in Vegas and I'll knock your a** out again, you know where I'm at, you know how to reach me. We can do it this weekend, next weekend, next month, it don't matter bro, let's get it, you know what's up!"

Fury quickly offered his own recollection of the story dismissing being knocked out, and admitting he knocked out Lovejoy within one round.

The 'Gypsy King' will now face Whyte after his promoter Frank Warren won the purse bids with a bumper £31 million offer.

He is expected to earn over £20 million after the purse split was declared at 80 per cent in the champion's favour, which initially delayed negotiations.

Whyte recently broke his silence after the fight was confirmed, but his brother has since cast doubts on the fight being made after he was handed a deadline to accept the deal.
