Reigning world champion Stuart Bingham is in trouble at the mid-session interval in his third-round UK Championship meeting with former world champion Peter Ebdon.

Veteran Ebdon only finished his second-round game at 01:20 this morning, but is showing no ill-effects and is 3-1 ahead.

John Higgins, one of the pre-tournament favourites at the York Barbican and already a double ranking event winner this season, leads Ali Carter 3-1.

Carter had chances in all of the frames but Higgins has been in ruthless form and has taken advantage of any errors.

Anthony Joshua says an all-British world heavyweight title showdown with Tyson Fury "will happen" at some stage after Wladimir Klitschko's reign over the division came to an end on Saturday. 

Joshua faces Dillian Whyte at London on 12 December, and is aiming to extend his perfect professional record to 15 wins.

The 26-year-old told Sky Sports: "People want it to happen, at some stage down the line it will happen, whether it's next year or the year after. I believe I can beat anyone, so I can beat Tyson Fury."

"It's been lashing down with rain all day in York so far. Perfect weather for snooker you would have thought.

"Apparently not. The moisture in the air affects the consistency of the bounce of the balls off the cushions and most of the players have all been complaining. Even Stephen Maguire, who won his second-round game 6-0.

"Anyway, back on the baize now with round three getting under way. World champion Stuart Bingham, John Higgins and Ali Carter all in action for the afternoon session.

Interesting musical tastes from the Manchester City man...

The Quo - as they are known to their fans - played a sold-out show in Manchester on Sunday.

And with that, a truly remarkable news conference finishes. 

In a news conference where Tyson Fury compared himself to a Mongoose, his trainer and uncle claimed it was the "greatest victory in heavyweight boxing since Ali v Liston", and his father compared David Haye to the lion from the Wizard of Oz, and commanded the assembled media to "stand up and bow down to my son", whilst railing against those who 'try to discredit' them.

There's no doubting it, Tyson Fury is unique...

As the remarkable news conference draws to a close, the start of the show, John Fury, adds "Can I just say one more thing?"

"Germany treated us so well. Those beautiful people in Germany got behind us, they told us we could do it. They treated us like human beings, treated us with open arms. Thank you Germany."

This is quite remarkable. Tyson's father John Fury is getting into his stride. 

He challenges the assembled journalists, whom he calls 'plastic', standing up and commanding "Get up and bow to my son, every one of you". 

The 50-year old John Fury then challenges Lennox Lewis to a fight!

More from Tyson Fury:

"There were all these little things that Klitschko did that affected other fighters in the past but they didn't faze me.

"I have a saying - If God is with me, who can be against me?"

Fury also admitted that one of his friends brought all of the food and water he consumed in Germany over from England to avoid possible contamination.

A question from a journalist to Tyson: How good a role model will you be for kids who look up to you? 

"It depends what type of role model you're after. If you're after a yes man, it's not me. If you want someone who knows what the world is like, then yes, they can look up to me"

Tyson says he wasn't too impressed with Wladimir Klitschko. "I was expecting him to be stronger. He hit me flush on the nose - I didn't feel it. He hit me on the temple - I didn't feel it at the time. I did afterwards, I've been taking Neurofen for the pain!"

"Take the glamour and the glitz away from these people, they're all just bare bums in the shower.

"I'm still Tyson Fury. I'm still going to go home in an old Land Rover and go to bed. 

"If people don't like it, change the channel. Dont' take photos. Don't print it in your newspaper. Do I care? Not really."

Tyson Fury admits his victory still hasn't sunk in.

I'm not really interested whatever I have to fight next," he says.

"I am just focussing on what I have done. It's not sunk in yet. I'm just waiting for it to come down. I feel like I am floating about and when I come down I will make a decision on who I fight next.

"I haven't done something I didn't believe I could do. I outboxed him for 12 rounds rather than knocking him out in two and that is better."

Tyson's father John Fury begins by saying "I haven't really got much more to say". 

It turns out that he has. 

"If there is such as thing as the 8th wonder of the world, then you're looking at it. My son. He had people disbelieving him, people discrediting him.", he says.

"Times do change, people move over to a new beginning. This is a new beginning in boxing. This has never been done before, and will never be done again."

He then singles out one reporter whom he calls a 'disbeliever' - "we've had a million people like you", he says, before going on to compare David Haye to the lion from the Wizard of Oz, saying he lacks courage.

"We cornered Wladimir Klitschko - we had four world title eliminators, and we defeated him, humiliated him. It was the sweetest moment ever. And believe you me, there's a lot more to come from Tyson Fury."

Trainer Peter Fury takes to the microphone.

"Nobody gave Tyson a chance except his own people. It goes to show how these so-called experts can get it so wrong," he says.

"Wladimir is a great champion. Tyson was not able to get some of his shots off just like Wladimir couldn't get some of his shots off.

"Tyson has learned his craft very well. To beat Wladimir to the jab and to win this fight convincingly. He has made a statement.

"This is the greatest victory in heavyweight boxing since Ali v Liston."

Tyson gets a round of applause from the assembled media as he is introduced, and he's off with his trademark humility. 

"That was a masterclass performance over the best fighter on the planet" he says with a grin. "No-one else had landed any shots on the guy. It just shows you what type of talent you're messing with. 

"Anyone who wants to try and discredit my performance is just pure jealous".
