Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson confirmed to be a professional fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson confirmed to be a professional fight Instagram/Jakepaul/miketysonJake Paul vs Mike Tyson has been confirmed to be a professionally sanctioned fight, and will go on their official records. YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul is set to go blow-for-blow with one of the sports’ greatest Mike Tyson, held at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas for Netflix’s first live sports event. Paul has faced a fair bit of backlash for the substantial 31-year age gap between the two. Many are concerned for the health of his opponent who may potentially suffer major injuries, stepping into the ring at 58 years old. The fight was believed to be an exhibition bout, and wouldn’t be a licensed fight as revealed by ‘Iron Mike’ in an interview. However, Paul has since confirmed the fight to be a professional match on April 29. “Mike Tyson wanted it to be a pro fight. Netflix wanted it to be a pro fight. So I agreed to make it a pro fight. Winner takes all,” he wrote on X. Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson rules explained The rules for the contest have sparked massive debate, with them being unclear and still up in the air since the fight was announced. However, the official rules for the fight have now been confirmed. As aforementioned, the bout will be a professionally sanctioned match. Results will be recorded on both fighter’s official records. Being a professional match, there will be no headguards. Fighters will be wearing 14oz gloves. Knockouts are permitted as they go head-to-head in eight 2-minute rounds. Despite being warned by a doctor to wear headguards to prevent brain injury, fears have still been dismissed by Tyson’s coach Rafael Cordeiro, who insists the legendary boxer is still in excellent shape. Furthermore, his coach firmly believes that fans will be in for a treat when the 58-year-old enters the ring on fight night. But we’ll just have to see how ‘The Problem Child’ handles one of the greatest boxers.

The fight has divided opinion in the boxing world. Tyson Fury has insisted that the bout is “fantastic for boxing,” while Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, dubbed it a “freak show.” Some of the biggest concerns surrounding the fight are over the 30-year age gap between the pair, with fears touted by some that Tyson could potentially suffer major injuries during the bout.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson still in doubt as Netflix reportedly concerned for Tyson’s health – Dexerto
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson still in doubt as Netflix reportedly concerned for Tyson’s health NetflixJake Paul vs Mike Tyson is reportedly still on the ropes despite the boxing legend saying to “bet your life” on it happening. Ever since Jake Paul and Mike Tyson announced that they would be fighting, things have been a little rocky. ‘Iron’ Mike suffered an ulcer flare-up prior to the original July 20 fight date, forcing him to pull out. That injury was just another avenue of criticism for the fight too, with many critics calling out the age difference between the two fighters. Never mind how active Jake has been compared to the heavyweight legend over the last few years. Despite all that, Tyson has routinely stated his confidence about stepping back into the ring. He’s shouted down a number of critics, saying that he feels in great shape and is going to add Jake to his laundry list of knockouts. The fight has been labeled an exhibition at times, and while both fighters have said they want it to be a competitive bout, that classification is seemingly on the ropes. According to WorldBoxingNews, Tyson is likely to face a more rigorous set of pre-fight health checks than normal. According to their report, the 58-year-old has “much to prove to convince” organizers about the fight. “TDLR is aware of media reports regarding an episode involving Mr. Tyson. At present, Mr. Tyson and Mr. Paul have met the medical requirements for this event,” Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation communications manager Tela Mange told WBN. “Before the event, TDLR will conduct pre-fight physicals to ensure the health of both fighters.” As noted, Tyson is supremely confident that the fight will go ahead. “Bet your life on it,” he told FOX40 News. “I’m just looking forward to this. This is something that I would say ignites me. It just gives me a life for myself.” Jake has also confirmed that he doesn’t have a backup fighter in place this time either, as he believes Mike will make it to fight night. However, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson: Ryan Garcia, Chael Sonnen & others who can replace “Iron Mike” – Dexerto
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson: Ryan Garcia, Chael Sonnen & others who can replace “Iron Mike” Associated PressMike Tyson has a number of replacements ready and willing to fight Jake Paul after their July 20 contest was postponed. Tyson, 57, suffered a medical emergency after an ulcer flare up during a flight. Reports claimed that ‘Iron Mike‘ became dizzy as paramedics treated the former heavyweight champion after touching down on the ground. The boxing legend has since confirmed that he is back to 100% – but, a decision has been made to postpone the fight from July to the end of the year as Tyson will not be able to train properly while he recovers. With Tyson unable to fight on July 20 date, Dexerto Sport has taken a look at the replacements that could be set to step in to fight Paul in his absence. Ryan Garcia Ryan Garcia has told Paul that he will be willing to step in and fight him instead of Tyson. ‘King Ry’, who is coming off a controversial upset win over Devin Haney – testing positive for the performance enhancing drug ostarine – shared a screenshot of a DM with Paul offering to fight him instead. “Jakey boo. If you down to fight, if Mike can’t do it, let me know, I will fill in,” Garcia said. There are some issues with his offer, not least the drug scandal hanging over him. But Paul has stepped in weight and is much heavier than Garcia. However, Garcia’s professional resume vastly outweighs the YouTuber, meaning that Paul could well be reluctant to take the fight regardless of the weight difference. Chael Sonnen Next up we have Chael Sonnen, the former UFC star who claimed that he is the backup choice to fight Paul. “I guess it was wise of Jake Paul to write me into the contract as Tyson’s backup, wasn’t it???” Sonnen posted on social media after the news about Tyson’s medical emergency surfaced. The next day he added: “If Jake Paul realizes he might be fighting ME in a month, HE may be the one having a heart attack.” Sakio Bika Former WBC super-middleweight champion, Sakio Bika, has also insisted that he will fight Paul in Tyson’s absence. “I am deeply concerned to hear that Mike Tyson is unwell. I wish him a speedy recovery,” Bika told World Boxing News. “It would be unfortunate if he is unable to compete as planned. “If the opportunity arises for me to step in and face Jake Paul, I would be honorer to do so. As a professional boxer, I am always prepared to take on new challenges and showcase my skills in the ring.” “Jake Paul is a formidable opponent,” he added. “I would approach the fight with determination and focus, but my thoughts are with Mike Tyson, and I am ready to step up if needed.” Mike Perry From one Mike to another – Mike Perry, the former UFC and current Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship star – has also volunteered to step in for Tyson. Perry has wanted to fight Paul for a while, having sparred with him back in 2021 and reportedly signing to be Tommy Fury’s replacement ahead of ‘The Problem Child’s’ fight with the former Love Islander in 2023. Taking to social media, Perry wrote: “If you ain’t really tryna do it Mike Tyson, I can handle your light work for you, I’ll pull up to the Netflix card. Let me know.” Roy Jones Jr Roy Jones Jr, who fought Tyson in an exhibition bout back in 2020, has insisted that he could be the ideal replacement. “I’m kind of thinking about that,” Jones told Betway when asked if he would consider replacing Tyson. “I might try and get into shape in case that happens. Maybe I get myself in shape for that because I never thought about doing it before but with the situation of the fight (being postponed between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul). “I think that’s a great idea and I’ll be ready and in shape because if the fight doesn’t happen then the ideal guy to substitute in place of Mike Tyson to fight Jake Paul is something I have been thinking about. If the fight is out there then yes (I would take it).” Tommy Fury Fury and Paul fought in 2023, with the younger brother of Tyson serving up the one and only defeat the American has had inside the boxing ring. The judges awarded Fury a split-decision victory and it is safe to say that there is a score to settle between the pair. Although Fury has not said he would step in for Tyson, given their history and rumors of a rematch clause in the contract, watch this space as a fight that could happen soon, if not on July 20. To make the fight work, Fury would have to speed up his self-imposed recovery timeline of “the end of the year” following surgery on his hand from an injury he had been nursing for years. KSI Following the postponement of Paul vs Tyson, KSI was called out by the American to fill in for ‘Iron Mike’. The pair have a longstanding rivalry but have never met in the boxing ring. KSI has fought Jake’s brother, Logan, twice, but now ‘The Problem Child’ wants to avenge his sibling. “KSI’s coach saying he is over 200lbs right now? So no weight excuses… Let’s run it for July 20th and then Paul Tyson in October / November,” he posted on social media. However, that idea was quickly dismissed. “I’ve already got a fight lined up in August,” KSI responded. “Instead of you fighting an OAP at the end of the year (no one wants to see this), fight me in December instead.” This prompted Paul to suggest early 2025 instead, after his rescheduled fight with Tyson. “I just gave KSI and his forehead the opportunity again for July,” Paul wrote. “He said he’s fighting in August. Cool. I’m fighting in October/November. February it is, 200 lbs, MSG, NYC. Get it done @MostVpromotions.” Yet the two parties are still to agree on timings, with KSI eager for Paul to leave the Tyson fight alone and take him on at the end of 2024 instead. “You asked for 185 Jake you fraudulent t**t,” the Brit fired back. “The old folks home has run out of options. This is all just noise. You don’t really want to fight. December, let’s run it at 185. No bulls**t. No excuses.” Paul then threw in an extra sweetener, teasing the idea of both sets of brothers going head-to-head in a night of boxing that would see Logan vs Deji and Jake vs KSI on the same card. Given that Tyson vs Paul is set to go ahead between October and December this year, and with KSI fighting in August, a February showdown between the pair is looking like a very plausible option.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson rule changes slammed as “disgrace” to boxing – Dexerto
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson rule changes slammed as “disgrace” to boxing Associated PressJake Paul and Mike Tyson’s fight has been labeled a “disgrace” after it was announced that the pair will wear 14 ounce gloves and fight across two-minute rounds. Paul vs Tyson has been officially confirmed as a professional fight, meaning that the result will go on both fighter’s records. Neither ‘Iron Mike‘ nor ‘The Problem Child‘ will wear headgear and knockouts are allowed. The fight will consist of eight two-minute rounds, with Tyson and Paul wearing 14 ounce gloves. And it is the last two points that have led to former world cruiserweight champion, Tony Bellew, take issue with the bout. “It’s got 14-ounce gloves and you’re fighting two-minute rounds. What the f*** is going on? Who’s commissioned that and who’s approving that? That idiot Jake Paul just wants to be on Mike Tyson’s record. I mean, it is f*****g insane,” Bellew told Ace Odds. “I know what Mike’s doing. Mike doesn’t give a s*** anymore, and I understand why he doesn’t give a s*** about his record, but how are you passing this?” “Mike Tyson’s whole career has been fought over three-minute rounds,” he continued. “How is he allowing a two-minute round bout to go on his professional record? The women’s code is over two-minute rounds, not the men’s. “So why is a bout over two-minute rounds being deemed as a professional bout? It’s a disgrace. It’s an absolute p*** take.” Tyson, 57, suffered a shock medical emergency which sparked concerns as to whether the fight would indeed go ahead or not. However, the man 30 years Paul’s senior, has put any fears of the contest being called off to rest, after he confirmed that he was back to 100%, something that he claimed he he does not need to be at in order to beat his opponent. It has also been alleged that Tyson could earn less money if he KOs Paul inside the first round, as the fight continues to divide opinion. The fight will be streamed live on Netflix, taking place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL‘s Dallas Cowboys. A mouth-watering $2 million VIP ticket package has already been revealed, ahead of their official sale on Thursday, May 16 at 12pm ET.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson postponed with timeline for new date confirmed – Dexerto
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson postponed with timeline for new date confirmed Associated PressThe highly anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul has been postponed following Tyson’s “medical emergency” on May 27. ‘Iron Mike’ was scheduled to fight Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium on July 20 in front of a packed house in Arlington, Texas. However, those plans have been delayed due to medical concerns surrounding Tyson. During Tyson’s May 27 flight from Miami to Los Angeles, he became nauseous and dizzy, leading to a brief 30-minute delay as the 57-year-old fighter was tended to. In the aftermath, Tyson and Paul shot down rumors of the bout getting pushed back… but only a few days later, Most Valuable Promotions announced that it would be postponed. “The upcoming, highly-anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will unfortunately be postponed,” MVP rep Liz Keller said in a written statement to fans. “During a follow-up consultation on Thursday with medical professionals on his recent ulcer flare-up, the recommendation is for Mike Tyson to do minimal to light training over the next few weeks and then return to full training with no limitations. “Both Mike and Jake are in agreement that it is only fair to ensure that both athletes have equal training time to prepare for this important match and are able to compete at the highest level. “The health and well-being of athletes is our top priority, and we fully support Mike in taking the necessary time to allow him to perform at the level he expects of himself. “Mike is expected to return to his full training schedule in the coming weeks and is eager to get back in the ring. “MVP anticipates rescheduling the match to later this year at AT&T Stadium, and we look forward to an exciting and well-prepared contest between these two exceptional athletes. “The new date of the fight will be announced by next Friday, June 7th.” Also included in the statement was an apology from Tyson to his fans as he promised to put Paul “out of boxing for good” when they meet in the ring. “I want to thank my fans around the world for their support and understanding during this time,” the prolific boxer said. “Unfortunately, due to my ulcer flare-up, I have been advised by my doctor to lighten my training for a few weeks to rest and recover. “My body is in better overall shape than it has been since the 1990s, and I will be back to my full training schedule soon. “Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time, but in the end, you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good. “I appreciate everyone’s patience and can’t wait to deliver an unforgettable performance later this year.” His opponent weighed in as well, with Paul backing the decision to postpone the fight, saying: “I fully support postponing the event so Mike Tyson has no excuses come fight night. “My fans know I don’t want to face ‘Iron Mike’ at anything but his best, but let there be no mistake – when he steps into the ring with me, I will be ready to claim my W with a sensational finish. “Paul vs Tyson will be one for the ages, and I promise to bring my best for this once-in-a-lifetime matchup.” It is unclear when the new date will be, as MVP announced that an official rescheduling of the event will occur by June 7. Netflix, who plans to stream the match to its worldwide audience, revealed on X that fans should “stay tuned for the new fight date to be announced by the end of next week.” Paul later revealed that Tyson wants to reschedule the fight for “Q4 of this year,” so the new date should fall between October and December. Until Netflix confirms a date, fans must wait for Tyson, a former world champion, to take the ring against Paul, the social media star turned boxer.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson labeled a “sham” by ex-UFC champ after medical scare – Dexerto
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson labeled a “sham” by ex-UFC champ after medical scare Associated PressJake Paul vs Mike Tyson has been slammed as a “sham” and should not go ahead after Tyson’s well documented health scare. That is the scathing view of former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping who has labeled Paul, who boasts a 9-1 record, “embarrassing” for “cherry picking” Tyson, 57, as his next opponent. Paul will face Tyson at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday, July 20, but the fight has faced much criticism, with “Iron Mike” more than 30 years his senior. In his prime, Tyson was one of the most ferocious world heavyweight champions in the history of the sport. But the fight has drawn ire from the boxing public, given Tyson has not fought professionally since 2005. Detractors of the fight were only encouraged earlier this week after Tyson took ill on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday evening. A mouth ulcer cause Tyson to go dizzy and paramedics were required to treat Tyson once the plane landed at LAX. Tyson has since confirmed the fight with Paul will go ahead but Bisping feels it is “not a great look” just weeks before the two men meet in the ring. “Mike Tyson was involved in a medical emergency,” Bisping said on his YouTube channel. “Paramedics had to be rushed onto the plane, the doctors had to come on to take Mike Tyson off the plane: It’s not a good look. This is not good press when you are trying to promote a fight when you are 58 years old. This is just a great example of why a fight like this should not be going ahead. “Now listen, maybe it was an ulcer flare-up, I don’t know anything about ulcers, but what I do know is that the man is going to be 58 years old – a man in the prime of his life doesn’t have a problem sitting on a plane for a few hours. “I’m not talking s**t about Mike Tyson, he wants to test the waters, he wants to make some money and feel alive, and he wants to do what he does best. “But that time has passed, that ship has sailed, that plane has left the runway – but not for a while because it was hot on the plane and then Mike Tyson got an ulcer flare-up. “I think the man is pushing 60 and he’s got some medical problems; maybe he just had a bit of food poisoning or had some food that just didn’t agree with him, but what we do know is that he was carted off the plan by paramedics and they did ask for medical assistance. That’s not a good look. “Jake Paul’s in the prime of his life and he’s just cherry-picking another opponent to bolster his resume to make himself look good – it’s absolutely embarrassing, it’s a shame, it’s a sham, it’s utter horses**t.” Fighters are already queuing up to replace Tyson, should he not be fit enough to take to the ring. Ryan Garcia has offered to step in for “Iron Mike”, while UFC Hall of Famer Chael Sonnen has claimed he is the backup fighter should Tyson pull out. And this isn’t the first time that Paul has been accused of “cherry-picking” opponents, after former cruiserweight champion Johnny Nelson hit out at the YouTuber-turned-boxer, claiming that the ‘The Problem Child’ has been “buying scalps” across his career so far.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson could be canceled over Tyson’s age – Dexerto
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson could be canceled over Tyson’s age NetflixThe hype around the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson superfight may have started bubbling away, but the clash is in danger of being canceled if Tyson fails one big medical check in the build-up. While plenty of boxers, both current and retired, have blasted Jake Paul’s move into the world of combat sports, Mike Tyson has always been on board. The former heavyweight king has spoken glowingly about the Paul brothers’ involvement with boxing time and time again. It got to a point where Tyson even stated he was open to fighting Jake at some point. That idea may have been laughed off by many in the past, but it will be a reality come July, as the pair are set to square off live on Netflix from AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. Well, that is if all things go to plan. ‘Iron’ Mike still has a few hurdles to overcome, and that includes medical tests for fighters over the age of 36. According to USA Today’s talks with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations, the 57-year-old will have to pass an electroencephalogram (EEG) and an electrocardiogram (EKG) before they will sanction the fight as a professional contest. If Tyson was to fail those tests then the fight could go ahead, but only as an exhibition. That would prompt other rule changes, including heavier gloves and shorter rounds. A switch to an exhibition would likely cause issues for the promoters too, given they’re eager to bill it as a professional contest. That is where the cancellation fears come into play, especially as Tyson’s side could be requested to undergo further testing. As it stands, a decision is pending from the TDLR, and they have time given that the fight isn’t happening until mid-summer. Jake has already said that he doesn’t fear being knocked out by Tyson, claiming he has an “iron chin.” The ‘Problem Child’ has also “guaranteed” that he’ll outwork the heavyweight legend on his way to a win too.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson called out as “scam” by boxing legend who wants Jake fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson called out as “scam” by boxing legend who wants Jake fight NetflixJake Paul’s fight with Mike Tyson has been called a “scam” by a boxing legend, as he wants to take on the YouTuber-turned-boxer himself. When Jake Paul and Mike Tyson first announced that they’d be fighting, there were plenty of skeptics. The majority pointed to the massive age difference between them, especially as Tyson is 58-years-old. The former heavyweight boxing champion had to pull out of the first fight date after he suffered an ulcer flare-up during a flight. Jake fought and beat Mike Perry in his place, but the fight with ‘Iron’ Mike has been rescheduled for mid-November. There have been some critics who believe the fight will never happen, citing Tyson’s health problem as a barrier. Former boxer Eric ‘Butterbean’ Esch is one such critic as he believes the “scam” fight will never happen. “Him and Tyson are never gonna fight,” Butterbean said during a recent Q&A at Georgia Pop and Horror Con. “That has been a scam from the very beginning just to boost Jake’s name – and it has. “This guy, everybody’s talking about him. But he’s never gonna fight Tyson. They were never planning on fighting each other, because a promoter would never let him fight anyone else in between a fight. Never. Not that big a fight. So, it’s been a scam from the beginning.” The 58-year-old, former super heavyweight, has called Jake out himself, offering the YouTuber-turned-boxer a “winner-takes-all” fight worth $2 million. He’s also posted TikToks of himself in training, urging the social media star to respond. “Jake Paul! What are you waiting on? We going to do this or what?” he said in his most recent call out. The ‘Problem Child’ and Tyson have both stated they’re confident that the fight will happen in November. Though, Jake has reportedly got Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. as a back-up. So, we’ll wait and see.

Jake Paul vows to f**k Mike Tyson up after medical scare – Dexerto
Jake Paul vows to f**k Mike Tyson up after medical scare BS W/ Jake Paul YouTubeJake Paul has told Mike Tyson he is going to “f**k him up” just days after ‘Iron Mike’ suffered a medical scare which cast doubt over their upcoming fight. Paul will face Tyson at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday, July 20, but the fight has faced much criticism, with Tyson more than 30 years his senior. The scrutiny only intensified on Sunday evening, when Tyson took ill on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles, after a mouth ulcer caused the 57-year-old to become dizzy in the air. Paramedics were required to treat Tyson once the plane landed at LAX but a statement from his representatives assured fight fans he was “feeling great”. Tyson has since confirmed the fight with Paul will go ahead but it has done little to dampen criticism of the fight from its detractors. Paul took to social media in the aftermath of Tyson’s health scare to assure fans “nothing’s changed” in terms of the fight going ahead and in his latest BS W/ Jake Paul podcast episode, he has told fans he will win easily against the former heavyweight champion of the world. “I am certain I am going to win,” Paul said. “I am going to f**k him up. It might be easy, actually. He doesn’t want that smoke. It is a professional fight now so it is just war. I am going to f**k him up. “In the most respectful way possible because I do love him. But you can love a son and you still have to discipline him.” In his prime, Tyson was one of the most ferocious world heavyweight champions in the history of the sport. But the fight has drawn ire from the boxing public, given Tyson has not fought professionally since 2005. Nonetheless, tickets have flown off the shelves and Netflix, who will broadcast the show, are expecting huge numbers of people to tune into the fight. And Paul admitted he hadn’t realized the scope of the fight and how much it has captured the public’s imagination. “It is crazy,” Paul said of the reaction to the fight. “It is very surreal because I just feel like a normal person from Ohio and I am doing massive s**t like that and the whole world is paying attention “I don’t realize the scope of it. I have had dreams of this, the career I wanted, the path I wanted, to fight the biggest names but for it to actually happen now. I don’t realize it. “I am mostly in Puerto Rico, just training every day in my house. That is why I try to inspire people. I truly believe if I can do it, someone else can.” Fighters are already queuing up to replace Tyson, should he not be fit enough to take to the ring. Ryan Garcia has offered to step in for ‘Iron Mike’, while UFC Hall of Famer Chael Sonnen has claimed he is the backup fighter should Tyson pull out.

Jake Paul vows to enter 2028 Olympics and win gold for USA in boxing Pixabay/Instagram/JakePaulInfluencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul wants to bring home a gold medal for the USA in the 2028 Olympics in LA. Jake Paul has taken the boxing world by storm, having picked up wins against a number of UFC greats including Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz. Ahead of the 27-year-old’s November faceoff against returning legend Mike Tyson, Paul announced that he wants to take his boxing talents to the Olympics, because he’s tired of watching the USA lose. During an August 9 episode of BS w/ Jake Paul, ‘The Problem Child’ revealed plans to enter the 2028 Olympics. “I’m sick and tired of waiting around, waiting for another gold for team USA,” he said. “I’m not retiring. I probably just added a couple more years onto my boxing career because of that, but Los Angeles, United States, sick as f**k.” According to Paul, he’s completely serious about competing and promised the gold medal would be his. As TMZ notes, prior to 2016, Jake wouldn’t have been eligible to compete due to his status as a professional boxer, as only amateurs were allowed. However, it’s now a very real possibility and a goal the influencer is keen to complete. Back in July, Paul revealed he was training with the US Olympic boxing team as an “honorary coach” to teach the fighters meditation, breathwork, and how to stay composed during their fights. He further said that he tried to join the team, but missed the cutoff by three weeks. In addition to seeking a gold medal, Paul plans to become a boxing champion and revealed the WBA wants him to compete against Julio Cesar Chavez for the WBA belt. Until then, however, Jake Paul is set to battle Mike Tyson on November 15 in a long-awaited Netflix bout that the fight world hasn’t stopped talking about since it was originally announced.

Jake Paul urged to wear headguard vs Mike Tyson over fears of serious injury – Dexerto
Jake Paul urged to wear headguard vs Mike Tyson over fears of serious injury Associated Press/YouTube: BS w/ Jake PaulJake Paul has been urged to wear a headguard when he steps into the ring with Mike Tyson in July over the fear that “one punch” from ‘Iron Mike’ could have major consequences for the ‘Problem Child’. Paul and his camp have strenuously denied that he and Tyson will be wearing headguards when they go toe-to-toe in Netflix’s first-ever live boxing stream. But Derek Chisora — who has fought the likes of Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk and Vitali Klitschko — believes that Paul would be foolish not to wear head protection when he comes up against Tyson. “Even if there is a lion, which is 100 years old and he’s crippled and he’s in the same room as you, what are you going to do?” Chisora told Crypto Casino LTD. “My point is: It doesn’t matter if Mike Tyson is 85 years old, he’s still ‘Iron Mike’, it only takes one punch connecting in the right way.” The former world heavyweight contender went on to admit that even if Paul did wear a headguard, he can see the YouTuber-turned-boxer taking off the gear as he enters the ring. “They’re going to have headguards and 16-ounce gloves, I predicted it when they announced it,” Chisora added. “They are going to have headguards and gloves, but who knows, it might change. Jake Paul is a nutter, so he might walk to the ring with the head guard and then change his mind.” Paul’s fight with Tyson has divided opinion in the boxing world. Fury has insisted that the bout is “fantastic for boxing,” while Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, dubbed it a “freak show.” Some of the biggest concerns surrounding the fight are over the 30-year age gap between the pair, with fears touted by some that Tyson could potentially suffer major injuries during the bout. But Tyson’s trainer, Rafael Cordeiro, has dismissed fears concerning the boxing legend’s health, insisting that the 57-year-old is in great shape.

Jake Paul urged to stop “crazy” fights with MMA fighters by ex-UFC champ – Dexerto
Jake Paul urged to stop “crazy” fights with MMA fighters by ex-UFC champ Instagram/jakepaulJake Paul has been urged to stop fighting MMA fighters in boxing by a former UFC champion who has had enough of the “crazy” fights after his win over Mike Perry. Ever since he got into the world of boxing, Jake Paul has matched up with his fair share of former MMA fighters who are crossing over into a new sport. His win over ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry is the most recent addition to Jake’s boxing record, as the YouTuber-turned-boxer scored a sixth-round TKO of the former UFC star. He’s now got his eyes on that rescheduled fight with ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson in November, but that’s not stopped other fighters from saying they want to fight Jake in the meantime. However, when it comes to his future fights, the social media star has been urged to stop fighting MMA fighters by former UFC champion Aljamain ‘Funk Master’ Sterling and focus just on boxers, especially if he wants to hold some gold himself. “Paul, you’ve proved you can box. You’re getting better with each fight, now can we see you fight, like, boxers your size, your same reach, everything so there’s no more lopsided stacked fight spectacle kind of thing because to me that’s what it really is,” the former UFC Bantamweight champion said in his July 22 YouTube video. Timestamp of 0:40 Sterling also questioned if Jake is to be blamed for taking these fights, or if his opponents are. “I’m just like, these guys need to realize he is actually athletic. He’s actually skilled and he’s only getting better because he’s young, and he’s a lot bigger than you!” he continued. “Stop taking these crazy fights, it’s like me trying to go out there, I’m not fighting him in boxing if anything I would ever entertain, it would have to be MMA.” As noted, the ‘Problem Child’ is lined up to fight Mike Tyson in November, but the WBA has also floated the idea of him vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. for a championship.

Jake Paul urged to “stop boxing” by world champion ahead of Mike Tyson fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul urged to “stop boxing” by world champion ahead of Mike Tyson fight YouTube: BS w/ Jake PaulJake Paul has been urged to “stop boxing” by a current world champion as he continues to gear up for his fight with Mike Tyson in July. Since stepping into the world of boxing and combat sports, Jake Paul has received plenty of criticism – and garnered a fair bit of support too – from both current boxers and legends of the sport. That has only increased now that the ‘Problem Child’ is getting ready to fight ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson in July, as he and the 57-year-old will actually be competing under professional rules. Claims that they’d be wearing headgear and using heavier gloves have been totally dismissed despite the age difference. Jake is totally in his ability to beat the Heavyweight boxing icon, suggesting he has an “iron chin” to take any and all punches that Tyson throws his way. Despite that, he doesn’t have the backing of one of boxing’s current Heavyweight icons, Oleksandr Usyk. The 37-year-old, who is getting ready to fight Tyson Fury and see who is the undisputed Heavyweight king, was speaking to DAZN about a number of boxers past and present when Jake’s name entered the fray. Usyk didn’t waste much time in the word association game, telling Jake to “stop boxing” before moving on to other names. The Ukrainian fighter was also asked for his thoughts on KSI, and described the British YouTube star as a “blogger” and nothing else. Usyk hasn’t been mentioned by Jake when he’s talked about fighting current champions such as Canelo Alvarez and Tyson Fury. Though, who knows, that might have changed now.

Jake Paul urged to make Mike Tyson fight free on YouTube to prove match isn’t about money – Dexerto
Jake Paul urged to make Mike Tyson fight free on YouTube to prove match isn’t about money Instagram/Jakepaul/miketysonFormer UFC Lightweight Champ Benson Henderson is demanding Jake Paul fight Mike Tyson for free on YouTube in order to prove he’s not just in it for the money. Mike Tyson’s upcoming return to the ring against influencer boxer Jake Paul has rubbed some people the wrong way, with many speaking out against the bout over Tyson’s health. Despite numerous warnings, Tyson has remained committed to the fight and has been unfazed by the concerns of those in the combat sports world. One such voice belongs to former UFC champ-turned-boxer Benson Henderson, who believes that Jake Paul is only fighting the 58-year-old because of the payday for such a big event. Speaking with talkSPORT, Henderson said he takes issue with the significant age gap between ‘Iron Mike’ and ‘The Problem Child.’ (segment begins at 9:35) “Almost in no sport at all would a 58-year-old man stand any chance against a 27-year-old man in one-on-one combat sport,” he said. “It’s gonna be really hard unless the 27-year-old is pretty low level and the 58-year-old is still high-level, actively competing and actively doing stuff.” The bout, currently slated for November 15, is going to air live on Netflix, but Henderson is convinced that Paul should put the fight on for free if he really doesn’t care about money. In fact, Jake Paul even admitted he would be making a whopping $40M from the fight. “It is a big moneymaker. I think there’s literally no other reason to do that fight other than to make money,” the former UFC champ explained. “If you say, ‘There is another reason do that fight.’ Okay, do it for free. You’re a YouTube star? Sure, no problem. Go do it for free. Put it on YouTube for free and still have that fight. Then tell me that it’s about more than the money. “It’s all about the money, which is cool. All respect to people doing whatever it is they wanna do to make their money. No disrespect for that. People have got to pay their bills. People have got to make money. So, if that’s what you wanna do to make money, no problem. I’m just not the biggest fan of it.” While it’s doubtful that such a high-profile match will suddenly be free, Mike Tyson himself even suggested that his big boxing return is all about his payday at the end. During an appearance on Logan Paul’s podcast, Tyson shrugged off Jake’s big brother’s warnings about the fight and eyed his reward for going through with what could be his final time in the ring. “This is what’s going to happen: Two men are gonna fight, somebody’s gonna win, they might fight again, and then they go to their separate banks and life goes on,” Tyson predicted.

Jake Paul title fight is on the cards against former boxing champion – Dexerto
Jake Paul title fight is on the cards against former boxing champion YouTube: BS w/ Jake PaulA world title fight has been floated for Jake Paul, as he could take on a former boxing champion for some gold after scoring another knockout win over ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry. Ever since he got into the boxing game, Jake Paul hasn’t been shy about letting people know what he wants to achieve. The ‘Problem Child’ has constantly said he wants to fight some of the best boxers in the world, and he’s got his eyes on a world title too. Some critics have urged him to knock those ambitions down a peg, suggesting he’s not world championship material. However, he has had some legitimate carrots dangled in front of him over the last few years. The WBC had offered to rank Jake had he beaten Hasim Rahman Jr and now the WBA is floating a possible title fight for the YouTuber-turned-boxer against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Yes, that’s right, WBA President Gilberto Mendoza has stated that he’s open to a title fight between Jake and Cesar Chavez Jr following the social media star’s knockout win over Mike Perry. “Big congratulations to Jake Paul and Most Valuable Promotions on the show but also on the new fresh and innovative perspective you offer to the sport of boxing! Love what you do!” the WBA President tweeted. “I am not against a Jake Paul v. @jcchavezjr for a championship…” Naturally, boxing fans flooded Mendoza’s replies with disdain for that idea. “If that happens, that’s the day boxing belts truly become meaningless,” one said. “This tweet is a genuine insult to all boxers,” another added. As noted, Jake believes he’ll be a world champion in 2025, but he’s got no ranking points from any of his fights. So, it would take something like the WBA’s idea to get him in contention. He has been tipped to fight Cesar Chavez Jr before too, with some claims being made that he’s the new backup option for his upcoming fights – including the rescheduled bout with Mike Tyson. The former Middleweight world champion defeated Uriah Hall on the undercard of Jake’s win over Mike Perry, but hasn’t been at a world championship level for years.

Jake Paul teases another pro boxer opponent for March fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul teases another pro boxer opponent for March fight YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul claims that his next opponent is a pro boxer with an “even better record” than Andre August — but we still don’t know who it is. Jake Paul is one of the most prolific influencer-boxers on the net, boasting an 8-1 professional record after getting his start on the undercard of Logan Paul vs KSI in 2018. Now, he’s arguably the face of the influencer-boxing movement and is on a mission to become a world champion, one fight at a time. In December 2023, Paul faced off against professional boxer Andre August, knocking him out in the very first round. This explosive victory came on the heels of another big win for Jake against UFC star Nate Diaz in the summer. Shortly after his win over August, Paul announced the date of his next bout — but never announced his opponent. Now, we’ve got a few more clues as to what kind of rival he’ll face off with, next. Jake Paul to announce next boxing opponent on January 30 On January 18, 2024, Paul appeared at the press conference for his undercard match on Serrano vs Meinke, which is slated to take place on March 2 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. After combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani noted that his opponent wasn’t present, Jake claimed that his rival didn’t want to show up because he “just wanted to train” — something that Jake said he “respects.” According to Jake, his next opponent is a “professional boxer with an even better record than Andre August” who has “won regional titles.” (Topic begins at 18:28) That’s not all; Jake will make an official announcement revealing his rival on January 30, saying the upcoming fight is “another step up in competition” for him. For now, it’s still unclear who Jake will be touching gloves with come March 2, but it’s clear that he’s willing to up the ante in his quest for world domination.

Jake Paul takes swipe at KSI over long-standing fight bet that still hasn’t happened – Dexerto
Jake Paul takes swipe at KSI over long-standing fight bet that still hasn’t happened KSI / Jake PaulJake Paul has taken a swipe at KSI over a long-standing claim about their highly-anticipated super fight as he looked back at his pro boxing debut. The YouTube boxing revolution really took off when the Paul brothers – Jake and Logan – took on the Olatunji brothers – KSI and Deji – back in 2018. Jake comfortably beat Deji and KSI eventually beat Logan in their rematch over a year later in November 2019. That seemed to set Jake and KSI on an eventual collision course to figure out who’d take overall bragging rights. However, it’s been four years, and despite a lot of chat about it happening, we’re no closer to seeing the longtime rivals in the ring against each other. While Jake has agreed to fight Ryan Bourland on March 2, he has still found time to take a swipe at KSI as he looks back on his professional debut – which also happened in 2019. Jake Paul takes dig at KSI over long-standing claim for fight Jake’s Most Valuable Promotions brand celebrated the fact that he’d first stepped into the ring for a professional fight against AnEsonGib on January 30, 2019. “4 years ago today Jake Paul fought and KO’d Gib in the first round. KSI had said Gib would KO Jake,” Jake’s promotion brand tweeted before reminding the Brit on his pre-fight wager that appears to still be standing. “He had also said if Jake beats Gib, he would agree to fight Jake. 4 years later. 185 and we have a fight.” The weight at which their fight would take place has been a bit of a sticking point in negotiations, given that Jake usually fights at around 200 lbs and KSI has been at 183 lbs. Such a big weight difference should lead to a catchweight fight, but neither of the YouTube stars will want to give up too much to their rival. So, it remains to be seen if it’ll happen.

Jake Paul slams Mike Tyson fans for “underestimating” his boxing ability – Dexerto
Jake Paul slams Mike Tyson fans for “underestimating” his boxing ability Associated PressJake Paul’s latest podcast episode had his brother Logan as a guest, and it didn’t take long for the upcoming Mike Tyson fight to take center stage of the discussion. On the BS w/ Jake Paul podcast, Jake had his brother, Logan Paul, on the show to talk about everything going on in the combat sports world. Naturally, only minutes into the show, Logan asked whether or not Jake was nervous about fighting a former boxing champion of the world. And not just any former champ — the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet.’ Jake provided an honest assessment of his feelings as the Mike Tyson Netflix match fast approaches. “Yo, when you see Mike Tyson hitting them pads, do you get a little nervous?” Logan asked. After a slight delay, Jake replied, “Yeah, I do,” which caused everyone to begin chuckling. But he explained why nerves aren’t necessarily a bad thing. “But, it’s motivating. And I think it’s good to carry fear into the ring and with you on a daily basis when you’re training because it makes you better. “It excites me that I have my toughest, craziest, and most powerful opponent to date. And the challenge of going up to heavyweight is kind of fun.” Although Jake believes he is a worthy competitor for Tyson, he sees all the predictions that claim ‘Iron Mike’ will put the YouTuber-turned-boxer to sleep with a single right hook. “I will say people are underestimating me, though. Because when I go to his comments, people want to do everything they can to discredit me,” Paul remarked. “They’re just saying that if Mike loses, then fighting is rigged. That’s basically every comment because they see how good he looks on the mitts.” Then, Jake looked directly into the camera to address Tyson. “But Mike, looking good on the mitts is not even half the battle. You have to face me in the ring.” Logan chimed in with a ringing endorsement for his brother. He says that when he’s watching a Jake Paul fight, he can tell from those in attendance that they are shocked by how hard ‘The Problem Child’ hits. “There’s a moment, I can see it watching from the side. They all go, ‘Holy s***, this YouTuber hits much harder than I thought.’ “You can see that change in their eyes, but I’m not sure Mike will have that moment. I think Mike, contrary to your belief, is not underestimating you.” The two men will share a ring on July 20 in front of a packed AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. Will Jake’s promise of victory come to fruition, or will Tyson prove the Paul doubters correct? Jake may be nervous, as he admitted in the podcast, but make no bones about it: He’s chomping at the bit to get in the boxing ring with a living legend and show fans what he can do.

Jake Paul shuts down girlfriend’s fears ahead of Mike Tyson fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul shuts down girlfriend’s fears ahead of Mike Tyson fight Associated Press/YouTube: B/S w/ Jake PaulJake Paul has insisted that he is “too sharp and fast” for Mike Tyson after he shut down any concerns that his girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam, had about him being knocked out. Leerdam, an Olympic silver medallist speed skater, expressed her fear that Paul might be knocked out during his fight with Tyson later this year. Paul, 30 years Tyson’s junior, reassured her that he was not at risk of that happening when the pair go toe-to-toe at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL‘s Dallas Cowboys on July, 20. “But what if he knocks you out? Is that your last fight?” Leerdam asked on the BS w/ Jake Paul podcast. Paul smiled before replying: “She keeps on asking,” eventually adding “he’s not going to”. The pair then agreed that they “shouldn’t even talk about” the scenario as Paul insisted that he would be too much for Tyson to handle. “I’m too sharp and fast,” he said. “Just being active and being the man in the arena for years and years now. Like I don’t even get nervous. The nerves are not even there anymore.” Topic starts at 30:45 The fight has proven to be a polarising match-up. Tyson Fury has insisted that the bout is “fantastic for boxing”, while Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, labeled it a “freak show“. Some of the biggest concerns regarding the fight are over the 30-year age gap between the pair, with concerns emerging over Tyson potentially suffering brain damage. Tyson’s trainer, Rafael Cordeiro, has dismissed fears concerning the boxing legend’s health, insisting that the 57-year-old is in great shape.

Jake Paul says he’s “injured” days before fight against Ryan Bourland – Dexerto
Jake Paul says he’s “injured” days before fight against Ryan Bourland DAZNJake Paul claims he has been “injured” just days ahead of his boxing return against Ryan Bourland on March 2. Influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul has made a huge name for himself in the world of combat sports with wins over former UFC icons such as Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz and even a KO on Tyron Woodley. On March 2, Jake Paul is set to return to the ring and improve on his record having just recently knocked out Andre August to improve to 8-1, but there may be a new wrench thrown into the equation. According to ‘The Problem Child,’ he suffered an injury leading up to the match and it could hurt Paul’s chances at eventually competing for a world title. Jake Paul reveals he’s “injured” ahead of boxing return In a new YouTube video documenting Paul’s training camp in Puerto Rico, Paul revealed that he’s going into the fight injured. “Jake Paul gets injured before Puerto Rico fight with Amanda Serrano and Ryan Bourland on March 2nd,” the description reads. Although the extent of the injury isn’t known, Bourland holds an impressive 17-2 professional record, so Paul will have quite the uphill battle this Saturday. Nonetheless, Jake is committed to seeing the fight through. “Doubt me all you want. This is my destiny and I will fulfill it,” he said on X following news of his injury. This bout could end up also being his last boxing match for a bit as the influencer looks to make his mark in MMA with his PFL debut scheduled for later this year with no shortage of opponents lined up to face him.

Jake Paul roasts Ryan Garcia after “thirsty and desperate” call out – Dexerto
Jake Paul roasts Ryan Garcia after “thirsty and desperate” call out Instagram: Jake Paul/ Ryan GarciaRyan Garcia and Jake Paul were one time friends and “King Ry” even welcomed the YouTube star into the sport and trained together with the “Problem Child”. But after Paul extended his boxing record to 9-1 with a first round TKO win over Ryan Bourland in Puerto Rico on Saturday night, it seems Garcia has had enough of Paul’s impact on the sport. Garcia, who is set to challenge Devin Haney for his WBC super-lightweight world title next month, took to social media to call out Paul and claimed he had f***** up by introducing him to the sport. “Okay enough, it’s on. I’m going to have to do this,” Garcia tweeted. “I’m going to end this JAKE PAUL BOXING THING. BRING IT ON JAKE. I’M DEAD F****** SERIOUS. F*** YOU! HIT MY TEAM UP.” Garcia then doubled down on his initial call out, adding in a voice note: “I can’t do this s***. I feel so f****ng bad for introducing Jake Paul to boxing. I f***ed up. I can’t allow this to happen. “He’s disrespecting my sport, he’s disrespecting everything. Call my team, Jake. F*** you. I’m going to end this Jake Paul boxing thing. Bring it on Jake, I’m dead f****ng serious f*** you, hit my team up.” Paul makes Garcia cocaine accusation as he welcomes call out Garcia has been in the headlines this week for admitting to be high on cannabis during a recent X Spaces session. The 25-year-old batted away accusations of taking cocaine from his rival, Haney, in Thursday’s pre-fight press conference, but Paul used that as a stick to beat him with while welcoming his callout. “He’s doing some cocaine. That boy is getting that s*** straight from Colombia or something. That s***’s strong,” Paul said in his post-fight press conference on Saturday. “Ryan, I love you, you know that, bro, but you got to chill out, bro. “There’s a line – you just seem like you’re losing your mind, acting thirsty, and desperate, and saying you’re a millionaire when you’ve had one money fight. I’m just saying – just chill, bro. “If you do want to fight – that’s, to me light work, you’ve got no footwork, and as long as you’ve been in the game I’m a better boxer than you.” Given Paul weighed in at 199.8lbs for his win over Bourland, and Garcia currently competes in the 140lb division, it would have to be at an unprecedented catchweight if the two new found rivals were to fight in the ring.

Jake Paul roasts Conor McGregor after UFC star called out “YouTube nerd” – Dexerto
Jake Paul roasts Conor McGregor after UFC star called out “YouTube nerd” Associated PressJake Paul did not let Conor McGregor’s recent dig slide by him. Paul clapped back at McGregor in a fiery tweet, after the UFC star called him a “YouTube nerd” ahead of his mega fight against Mike Tyson on June 1. Paul and McGregor have a longstanding beef. It intensified in 2023 when the YouTube star challenged McGregor to a crossover fight in the Octagon after his boxing win over Nate Diaz in August of that year. The former UFC lightweight champion’s agent was open to negotiating a fight, but nothing came of it. Yet, the former MMA champion continued their feud on Wednesday. Jake Paul slams Conor McGregor over “nerd” label McGregor opened up his stance on fighting Paul and a host of other YouTube stars turned boxers when speaking to talkSPORT. He also gave his take on the upcoming Paul bout against Mike Tyson, saying: “The Pauls… That [Mike] Tyson fight is just a strange one to me, I hope Tyson takes his nose off.” McGregor clearly wants to see Paul get hurt on fight night. He sided with the former Undisputed heavyweight champion to deliver what many are anticipating will be an early knockout. Paul fired shots back at the 35-year-old on X, as a tweet, that has now been deleted, read: “Conor you fell off. Get some help man and then get back in cage to try and finish that contract. “Then say my name. Until then you know you don’t control a damn thing to do with your fights.” Paul is unafraid of the Irish MMA fighter and is keen to face him in the Octagon. McGregor is now on board also, outlining his shift in perspective in the same interview. “I’m sure at some stage [I’ll end up fighting one of them], I’m sure at some stage,” he added. “You know, we’ll go through all of these guys.”

Jake Paul roasted by Mike Tyson fans over “fake” tiger photo – Dexerto
Jake Paul roasted by Mike Tyson fans over “fake” tiger photo Associated PressWith the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson approaching, boxing fans are roasting Paul for his “fake” tiger photo. Jake Paul is known for his patented trash-talking in the lead-up to a boxing match. And his bout with Mike Tyson is proving to be no different. Paul sent out a photo of himself holding a tiger on a leash—meant as an homage of sorts to Tyson’s famous tiger image. Tyson’s photo included his real-life pet tiger, Kenya. The well-known picture dates back to 1996, during the peak of the “Iron Mike” reign. Mike Tyson fans roast Jake Paul for “photoshopped” tiger However, Paul’s photo drew immediate criticism after he cropped it alongside Tyson’s and posted it to his 4.6 million followers on X. Several fans pointed out that Paul’s photo is a photoshopped tiger, while Tyson’s is a legitimate full-grown feline. One X user took a shot at whoever Paul hired to edit the photo with a comical video. Another fan claims that Paul’s photo looks as though he’s the one on the leash rather than the tiger. Paul even caught flack for looking terrified in the photo by one X user. If Paul wanted to elicit a strong reaction from boxing fans, he succeeded with this photo. The original post has over two million views as of this writing, and most of the replies are bashing Paul. Paul is used to fighting opponents with massive followings, but going up against Tyson and his fierce allegiance of fans is a different animal. Plus, even as a 57-year-old, many believe Tyson can still bring his trademark power to the ring. On July 20, Paul puts his 9-1 record up against a former boxing world champion with 44 career knockouts.

Jake Paul roasted after disguising himself as Travis Kelce at Fanatics Fest – Dexerto
Jake Paul roasted after disguising himself as Travis Kelce at Fanatics Fest TikTok: betrJake Paul dressed up as Travis Kelce during Fanatics Fest in NYC. Unconvinced and bothered, netizens roasted his disguise online. While YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul prepares for his Mike Tyson fight on November 15, he’s been enjoying the many press opportunities leading up to his most demanding bout yet. During the weekend of August 16-18, Paul was in NYC at Fanatics Fest, a premiere sports convention where athletes and celebrities gather to indulge in everything sports. From limited-edition merch to rare collectibles, Fanatics Fest has it. While Paul could have drawn crowds by dressing as himself, he instead, showed up in a Travis Kelce disguise. As the professional boxer walked out to a group of fans, he could be seen wearing a Kansas City Chiefs uniform with Kelce’s last name and number on the iconic red jersey. Fans, however, weren’t impressed by his costume after a viral TikTok was posted by betr, the leading sports media and gaming company founded by Paul. “If I was Travis Kelce I would be pissed,” quipped a netizen. “I’m tired of this tool. I hope Tyson breaks his neck and chews on his ear when they finally fight,” said another. “Little boy disguised as a grown man isn’t fooling a single person,” added a third. Others claimed it should have been apparent that it wasn’t Kelce at the convention, stating that Paul’s features stuck out. “People should know it’s not Travis with tattoos,” one pointed out. “Big fail,” said another. While at Fanatics Fest, Paul also squared up to his upcoming opponent during a press conference at the Javits Center in Hell’s Kitchen. As tension rose, Tyson pushed Paul. He then erupted in laughter as the YouTuber shook it off. Paul even proposed a massive rule change to their November fight. As the opponents exchanged words, Paul suggested that he and Tyson go ten three-minute rounds instead of eight two-minute rounds.

Jake Paul rival called out for fight on Mike Tyson card by ex-UFC star – Dexerto
Jake Paul rival called out for fight on Mike Tyson card by ex-UFC star Amanda Westcott, SHOWTIMEFormer UFC champion Tyron Woodley has been called out for a fight on the undercard of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson, and it’s from another former UFC fighter. When Jake Paul and Mike Tyson confirmed that they would, in fact, be fighting each other this summer, the pair came under plenty of scrutiny given the 31-year age gap between them, as ‘Iron’ Mike will be 58 when they meet in the middle of the ring. The pair have since confirmed a few rules around the fight, including the fact it’ll be a professional contest, but they’ll use heavier gloves. There has also been some confirmation around the undercard since then too. UFC star Jose Aldo recently revealed that he’d been offered a fight against Neeraj Goyat, another of Jake’s rivals, but that has been scrapped. Now, former UFC fighter ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry has called out Tyron Woodley, suggesting that they could square off on the undercard in July. “Damn my dawg @TWooodley, gotta redeem yourself in a boxing match against me on the @netflix card,” Perry tweeted on May 19, as Tyson roasted some of Jake’s former opponents as “little children.” As noted, the undercard for the Paul vs Tyson has started to take shape. Amanda Serrano, who is a part of Jake’s Most Valuable Promotions, will be taking on Katie Taylor in the co-main event. MVP prospect Ashton Slyve will also be on the card against undefeated fighter Floyd Schofield. There will be UFC-influenced fights too. Darren Till is slated to take on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Chavez Jr had been offered a fight against Mike Perry, and while the former UFC man said the pay “wasn’t incredible,” he was “interested” in being on the card. He’s clearly still got interest in being on the card, seeing as he’s called out Woodley, but who knows if they’ll actually fight.

Jake Paul reveals who he wants to fight after Mike Tyson with title opportunity on the table BS W/ Jake Paul YouTubeJake Paul has revealed the five fighters he wants to take on after his clash with Mike Tyson, but the mooted WBA title fight is actually missing from his list. Ever since getting involved with boxing, Jake Paul has continually said he wants to fight the best fighters and challenge himself. His end goal is actually becoming a world champion, and the idea of a title fight has been put out. The president of the WBA, Gilberto Mendoza, has said he’s “open” to seeing Jake take on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. for a title. Though, right now, the ‘Problem Child’ has his eyes on his rescheduled fight with ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson. Jake and the heavyweight boxing icon will meet in mid-November, but the YouTuber-turned-boxer is also looking ahead to the future. He’s got five fighters on his ‘hitlist’, but Cesar Chavez Jr. misses the cut. “[UFC champion Alex] Pereira, McGregor, Canelo, KSI, Tommy Fury,” Jake said during his appearance on the August 6 episode of the FULL Send podcast. Timestamp of 35:00 Jake’s mention of KSI intrigued the NELK Boys too, who quizzed as to why it hasn’t happened yet. “It’s honestly the difficulty in figuring out the weight,” he said. “We both agreed to 185, but that was 18 months ago. We’re both heavier. I couldn’t make 185 any more. That’s part of the issue.” In terms of that mooted title fight with Cesar Chavez Jr., the YouTuber-turned-boxer said he’s not “afraid” of anyone and wants to “challenge” himself with his fights. The Mexican, who has previously held the WBC Middleweight title, has been rumored to be Jake’s back-up fighter if Tyson can’t fight in November. He was also scheduled to be on the undercard of the first fight. So he’s clearly on the Problem Child’s radar.

Jake Paul reveals secret strategy for beating boxing legend Mike Tyson – Dexerto
Jake Paul reveals secret strategy for beating boxing legend Mike Tyson Associated PressJake Paul will fight Mike Tyson on July 20 in front of a worldwide Netflix audience, and Paul’s deploying a creative strategy to defeat the legendary boxer. The matchup of Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is one of the most anticipated combat sporting events in recent memory, as the 27-year-old social media star aims to take down a titan of the boxing industry. Paul, who hasn’t started his fight camp yet, acknowledged the power that Tyson still possesses in his right hand, even admitting he’s nervous as the July 20 match approaches. However, after revealing to Shane Mosley that he is walking around weighing 230 pounds, Paul explained why bulking up for the Tyson fight is his secret weapon. “It’s just like, shocking to people that that’s how much I weigh,” Paul remarked. “I think just because, normally, I’m fighting at like 200 [pounds] and walking around at like 210. “I think I’ll get up to 240 and then probably cut down, so I’m way faster. But if I’m training for this camp at 240, and then I cut down to 220, it’s like I had a 20-pound weight vest on. “So my muscles are going to be so much stronger, and that speed will come through.” Paul then detailed his entire regimen for the Tyson match and how it differs — if at all — from other fights. “Same training camp, essentially,” Paul said. “But there are a few minute differences, which I will elaborate on. “The differentiators will be me being able to eat, which I’ve already noticed is so much better for recovery. “And as well as sparring heavyweights. I’ll probably spar less because the heavyweights obviously punch harder and it’s more intense taking shots [from them]. “That’s the two biggest things, but the third is that we know what Tyson fights like. Interestingly enough, with a lot of my opponents, there’s not tons of footage. “With Mike Tyson, there’s hours and hours of footage out there. So, we know exactly what he’s going to do.” Paul is 30 years younger than Tyson, but he’s clearly not underestimating the former boxing world champion. He already has what he believes to be the winning game plan; now it’s time to implement it.

Jake Paul reveals Mike Tyson’s brutal threat as superfight rescheduled – Dexerto
Jake Paul reveals Mike Tyson’s brutal threat as superfight rescheduled YouTube: FOX NewsJake Paul has revealed a message that Mike Tyson sent to his team after their superfight had to be rescheduled for November, with critics claiming the boxing legend is “too old” to step into the ring. In mid-March, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson shocked the boxing world as they announced that they were planning to fight in Dallas, Texas in July. The fight, which is going to be Netflix’s first foray into streaming live sports, has since been rescheduled for November. The rescheduling of the superfight follows Tyson suffering an ulcer flare-up during a flight to Miami. The former Heavyweight champion said he was fine shortly after the medical incident and tried to downplay the need for a cancellation. Yet, that’s exactly what happened. While some critics have said that ‘Iron’ Mike is ‘too old’ to take part in the fight, Jake has revealed what the 57-year-old told his team upon the fight being rescheduled. And, he’s not worried about the setback. “Tell Mike Tyson that (he’s too old) because he does not give a s**t what anyone thinks,” the ‘Problem Child’ told TMZ Sports on June 15. “He is his own boss, he wants to fight me. “He told my team ‘I don’t give a s**t about this, tell Jake I’m still going to rip his head and knock him the f**k out’ and this just bought him more time. So, tell Mike Tyson not to fight and to chill and see how that goes!” Plenty of fighters – some boxers and others from the Mixed Martial Arts world – offered to step in for Tyson, but Jake hasn’t confirmed if he’ll fight any of them as a tune-up before he meets ‘Iron’ Mike at the end of the year. He has, though, admitted that he is “nervous” to meet the boxing legend in the ring. It also remains to be seen what the knock-on effect on Jake’s MMA debut will be as well, given that was supposed to take place at the end of 2024.

Jake Paul receives warning & challenge from Mike Tyson’s last opponent – Dexerto
Jake Paul receives warning & challenge from Mike Tyson’s last opponent Associated Press | Legends Only League – InstagramFormer heavyweight boxer Kevin McBride believes that one power punch from Mike Tyson will put Jake Paul away on July 20. McBride is the last boxer to beat Tyson. He scored a RTD victory against the former undisputed heavyweight champion on July 11, 2005. While Tyson was 38 years old and past his prime when they fought, McBride has firsthand experience taking punches from one of the hardest hitters in boxing history. He believes that Tyson’s power will be the difference maker in the bout, despite the 30-year age gap between Tyson, 57, and Paul, 27, as he told Instant Casinos. “You can see it on the videos he’s posting, it may only be a short video, but it’s unbelievable power. All Mike Tyson has to do is connect and Jake Paul will be seeing Christmas lights for the next week. He’ll time him in the first couple rounds and it will be over,” McBride said. Tyson has an impressive knockout ratio from his professional career, but even as an exhibition fighter in his advanced age, his power has looked frightening. That was on full display against former pound-for-pound king Roy Jones Jr. in their bout in 2020. Not only does McBride predict a Tyson victory, he also sees himself downing “The Problem Child” if given the opportunity to box him. “If Jake Paul’s takes the mantle of the last man to beat Mike Tyson then I’d hope Jake Paul would give me the opportunity to fight him, then he’d have the chance to be the last man to beat Tyson and McBride. I’d jump in there with him,” the former 19-year pro remarked. McBride is currently 50 years old. His last professional fight was in 2011. He has not competed in any exhibition fights since then. Despite his inactivity, he remains confident in his chances against Paul. However, he was not a big-named fighter in his career, so the likelihood of him scoring a bout with one of the highest box-office draws in the sport may not be high.

Jake Paul proposes massive rule change to Mike Tyson fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul proposes massive rule change to Mike Tyson fight YouTube: NetflixJake Paul has proposed making a pretty massive rule change to his fight with Mike Tyson after he and ‘Iron’ Mike finally clashed at a press conference. Back in March, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson shocked the boxing world by announcing that they’d be fighting. The pair had initially signed up for a clash in July, which was to be broadcast by Netflix. However, after ‘Iron’ Mike suffered an ulcer flare-up during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles, he pulled out. Jake, instead, fought ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry and won convincingly. That win put the fight with Tyson back on the cards after the pair confirmed it had been rescheduled for November 15. Even though that fight night is still months away, they’ve started to build the hype back up. The YouTuber-turned-boxer met Tyson on August 18 at the first pre-fight press conference and things got pretty heated. In amongst that, Jake suggested making a rule change to the fight as Tyson urged him to make sure he is in top shape. “Be in shape, be in good shape because your health depends on it,” the 58-year-old said. “Hey, you’re the one who wanted eight two-minute rounds,” Jake quickly fired back. “Want to make it ten threes (minute rounds)? Don’t talk to me about shape. Don’t talk to me about shape. You want ten threes? You want ten threes? You want ten threes?” Timestamp of 19:00 The ‘Problem Child’ also claimed that he is “stating facts” in the build-up while Tyson is the one doing the trash-talking. That proposed rule change is unlikely to happen, especially given the criticism around the fight with regard to the massive age gap between the two. Both Jake and Mike have said they want to have it sanctioned as a professional fight, as the 27-year-old is targeting becoming a world champion afterwards. Though, who knows what’ll happen.

Jake Paul plays down fears of Mike Tyson KO’ing him in Netflix superfight – Dexerto
Jake Paul plays down fears of Mike Tyson KO’ing him in Netflix superfight YouTube: BS w/ Jake PaulJake Paul says he’s not worried about Mike Tyson’s legendary punching power as he believes he has an “iron chin” and is unlikely to get knocked out in their superfight. For the last few years, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have toyed with the idea of fighting each other. The former Heavyweight king has been supportive of Jake’s foray into boxing and there had been claims they’d talked about a fight. Well, fast forward to 2024, and that’s now a reality. The pair will be squaring off in the summer, live on Netflix. However, there have been some concerns about it – especially with Tyson being 57. Some outsiders and pundits have already chimed in with concerns for Jake’s safety too, believing that he’ll be in a “really bad way” because of Tyson’s punching power. Yet, Jake isn’t too worried. The YouTuber-turned-boxer discussed the fight on the March 21 episode of BS with Jake Paul and says he has an “iron chin” to combat Tyson’s legendary power. “I want to see how hard he hits. I really want to see bro. Let’s see all the legends, the myths because you’re ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson. But I have an iron chin, people know that,” Jake said. “I take shots so, I think people are underestimating me being able to deal with his power and that is something that will make it interesting obviously.” Timestamp of 3:30 The ‘Problem Child’ stated that he isn’t nervous about the fight either. “I’m excited, I literally can’t wait to look across the ring and see him and give him a f**king death stare,” he said. To hammer home the point that he isn’t too worried about the Tyson fight, Jake has also stated that he’s open to fighting Ryan Garcia after it too, and that he isn’t going to quit boxing regardless of the result.

Jake Paul offers telling advice to Tyson Fury after Oleksandr Usyk defeat – Dexerto
Jake Paul offers telling advice to Tyson Fury after Oleksandr Usyk defeat Associated PressJake Paul has told Tyson Fury that the response to his defeat against Oleksandr Usyk is more important than the actual result itself. Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world in nearly 25 years when he beat Fury via split decision on Saturday, May 18 in Saudi Arabia. Paul, who has his own blockbuster fight against Mike Tyson scheduled for July 20 – streaming live on Netflix – offered up his own advice for Fury after the result. “Losing is a part of any sport,” he penned on social media. “It’s about how you take the L and come back for the W.” The Ukrainian started the bout superbly, controlling the ring for the opening rounds, before Fury roared back into the contest and looked to be ahead on the scorecards come the middle rounds. The ninth would prove to be vital for the outcome of the fight after Usyk scored a knockdown against The Gypsy King – who would have hit the canvas if not for the ropes – before being saved by the bell as the 10 count came to a close. The fight went the distance as two of the three judges scored it 115-12 and 114-113 to Usyk, while the final scorecard had it 114-113 to Fury. Usyk is now an undisputed champion at two different weight divisions, having already previously secured all the belts at cruiserweight prior to stepping up to heavyweight. A rematch clause in the contract will see Fury and Usyk go toe-to-toe once again later this year, understood to be tentatively scheduled for October 12. Paul, meanwhile, will take on Tyson this summer in a fight that will go on both of their professional records. Tickets are now on sale for the bout, with some fans even being able to purchase a jaw-dropping $2,000,000 VIP package to watch the fight in style.

Jake Paul offered $2m winner-takes-all fight by boxing legend – Dexerto
Jake Paul offered $2m winner-takes-all fight by boxing legend YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul has been offered a $2 million “winner take all” fight against one of Boxing’s most recognizable legends before his clash with ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson. Ever since he got started with the world of boxing, Jake Paul has seen a fair number of boxers – both active and retired – chiming on in his record. There have been a number of vocal supporters including Terence Crawford and Mike Tyson, but they’ve been outweighed by critics. The likes of Carl Froch, Tony Bellew, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, and Oscar De La Hoya have criticized Jake’s skills and his record, with many of them urging him to fight some ‘real’ boxers. The ‘Problem Child’ has started to respond to those critiques by fighting longtime boxers. He’s recently defeated Andre August and Ryan Bourland quite easily. He’s also got that fight with Mike Tyson scheduled for mid-November too. In the meantime, though, the YouTuber-turned-boxer has been offered a “winner-take-all” fight against Eric Esch – otherwise known as Butterbean. Yes, the former Super Heavyweight, who has always been a cult hero in the boxing scene, wants to fight Jake. “Hey Jake Paul, would you fight me for $2 million? Winner take all,” he said in a July 28 TikTok. His fans, however, are a bit split on how it would go. “You’re awesome ButterBean but Jake is a lot younger and has a hell of a punch,” one said. Sorry bruhda, Jake has this one!!!!,” another said. “Please Lord, let this happen. Butterbean destroys Paul every time,” another commented. Esch, who has been on a weight loss journey over the last few years, has gotten himself under 300 lbs for the first time since he fought regularly. He hasn’t stepped into the ring since a loss in 2013 to Kirk Lawton. However, Esch has called out Jake a few times since he started boxing.

Jake Paul next fight: Netflix determined for Mike Tyson bout amid KSI plan – Dexerto
Jake Paul next fight: Netflix determined for Mike Tyson bout amid KSI plan Associated PressBoxing fans worldwide were left disappointed when Jake Paul’s fight with Mike Tyson was postponed on medical grounds. Paul and Tyson were set to meet in the ring at the AT&T Stadium on July 20 in front of a packed house in Arlington, Texas. However, those plans have been delayed due to medical concerns surrounding Tyson. Tyson took ill on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday, May 26, after a mouth ulcer caused the 57-year-old to become dizzy in the air. Paramedics were required to treat the former heavyweight champion of the world once the plane landed in LAX airport and despite Tyson reassuring fans he was fine, doctors have recommended he does “minimal to light training over the next few weeks and then return to full training with no limitations”. As such, the fight has been postponed, and although it is expected to be rescheduled, Paul has no shortage of suitors for his next fight if that plan does not materialize. As such, Dexerto Sport has taken a look at the many options at Paul’s disposal as he looks towards his next fight. Netflix determined for Tyson fight to be rescheduled Netflix are determined for Paul vs Tyson to be the first boxing show they broadcast and have swatted away talk of any alternatives replacing “Iron Mike” if they can help it. “I can tell you this. Once the fight fell through, several names were presented to Netflix as possible opponents to save the day, to save the event,” journalist Ariel Helwani told the MMA Hour. “From what I was told, Netflix was steadfast that for their first boxing event, they wanted it to be Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson. “They had a handful of names. They were not interested. They want to wait for that and do it in the fourth quarter (of 2024).” It is expected that Paul vs Tyson will still go ahead in the final quarter of 2024, with a new fight date to be announced no later than Friday, June 7. In a statement released by Most Valuable Promotions, the timeline for a revised date was set out. It read: “Both Mike and Jake are in agreement that it is only fair to ensure that both athletes have equal training time to prepare for this important match and are able to compete at the highest level. “The health and well-being of athletes is our top priority, and we fully support Mike in taking the necessary time to allow him to perform at the level he expects of himself. “Mike is expected to return to his full training schedule in the coming weeks and is eager to get back in the ring. “MVP anticipates rescheduling the match to later this year at AT&T Stadium, and we look forward to an exciting and well-prepared contest between these two exceptional athletes. “The new date of the fight will be announced by next Friday, June 7th.” Tyson alternatives However, should Tyson not be fit to fight Paul, there are a number of alternative suitors that could step in to face Paul next. UFC legend Chael Sonnen claimed he was the backup to Tyson in the initial contract, while boxer Ryan Garcia also threw his hat into the ring. Former world champion Amir Khan has offered to jump in too but is also keen to face Paul in his next fight after Tyson. Former world super-middleweight champion Sakio Bika has also been forthright in his desire to face Paul, and current BKFC and former UFC fighter Mike Perry has also registered an interest. Former four-weight world champion Roy Jones Jr has thrown his hat in the ring and there is also a Tommy Fury rematch that would whet the appetite of fight fans, although Fury isn’t set to return to action until the end of 2024 after a hand operation. Even Paul’s brother, Logan Paul, offered himself as a possible opponent, tweeting his brother: “So Mike Tyson’s out? I’ll step in and we can settle this once and for all @jakepaul.” KSI plan But the most eye catching exchange since the postponement of the Tyson fight has been between Paul and KSI. The pair have a longstanding rivalry with both men keen to cement themselves as the number one influencer boxer in the world. Both fighters share a loss to Tommy Fury on their record, while Paul would look to avenge his brother, Logan Paul’s loss to KSI back in 2019. Paul tweeted KSI in the immediate aftermath of the Tyson postponement suggesting his rival should step in to fight him on July 20. He said: “KSI’s coach saying he is over 200lbs right now? So no weight excuses… Let’s run it for July 20th and then Paul Tyson in October / November.” KSI hit back claiming he has a fight lined up in August but would fight Paul in December instead. He replied: “I’ve already got a fight lined up in August. Instead of you fighting an OAP at the end of the year (no one wants to see this), fight me in December instead.” Paul then confirmed his revised schedule for a new fight with Tyson at the back end of 2024 but proposed a February 2025 bout with KSI after that. He said: “I just gave KSI and his forehead the opportunity again for July. He said he’s fighting in August. Cool. I’m fighting in October/November. February it is, 200 lbs, MSG, NYC. Get it done @MostVpromotions.” To which KSI hit back, reiterating his desire to fight Paul in December. He said: “You asked for 185 Jake you fraudulent t**t. The old folks home has run out of options. This is all just noise. You don’t really want to fight. December, let’s run it at 185. No bulls**t. No excuses.” KSI is rumored to be fighting former British world champion Amir Khan in August. Should he win through his next fight, and Paul beats Tyson in their revised fight date, there would not be a bigger fight to make than Paul vs KSI on the influencer stage.

Jake Paul & Mike Tyson speechless after kid asks about their “body counts” – Dexerto
Jake Paul & Mike Tyson speechless after kid asks about their “body counts” YouTube: NetflixThe first leg of the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson press conference tour reached New York City on May 13, as the two fighters came face-to-face for the first time. While the presser got off to a relatively normal start, things took a hilarious turn when Paul and Tyson began fielding fan questions about their July 20 boxing match on Netflix. The first couple went as expected, with both Paul and Tyson having a chance to elaborate on why they want to do this fight and how they expect it to unfold. Then, one kid took the microphone and proceeded to steal the show with a query that few — if any — have ever heard before at a pre-fight press conference. Mediator Ariel Helwani introduced the fan as a “young boy,” but it only took one sentence to realize the substance of the question would be anything but child-friendly. After introducing himself, the young boxing fan said, “I’m a big fan of both of y’all. You guys are both f legends.” Before he could get the question out, Tyson quickly fired back, “Where is your mother at?” much to the delight of the audience as laughter consumed the arena. The fan finally asked, “Who do you think’s got a higher body count? What’s your body count, Jake?” That bizarre query led to a rare occurrence — it left Jake Paul speechless. Tyson once again asked, “Where is this kid’s mother?” Neither fighter answered the question, as the kid let a few more expletives rip into the microphone before ending it with, “I love you guys, motherf*****!” The clip immediately went viral on social media, which led to the discovery that it wasn’t the young fan’s first time commanding a microphone. According to X account Fight Crack, this is the same kid from a previous Sidetalk NYC video who challenged NBA star Joel Embiid to a fight following a Knicks victory over the 76ers. In a press conference rife with quotable moments, this exchange between the young fan, Tyson, and Paul will stick in the minds of everyone who watched it.

Jake Paul & Mike Tyson face last-minute fight change due to legend’s health – Dexerto
Jake Paul & Mike Tyson face last-minute fight change due to legend’s health YouTube: FLAGRANT / Instagram: miketysonJake Paul’s fight with Mike Tyson could face an extremely last-minute change due to the timing of the boxing legend’s pre-fight health checks. When Jake Paul and Mike Tyson first announced that they would be fighting, there was plenty of skepticism. The biggest issue between the pair is the age difference – a massive 31-year gap – as Tyson is 58 and Paul is 27. With Tyson approaching his twilight years, and having not boxed since 2020, many critics have worried about his health. Those worries were only increased when ‘Iron’ Mike suffered an ulcer flare-up during a cross-country flight across the United States. That originally scheduled July 20 event was postponed and rearranged for November 15. The heavyweight boxing legend has been in training camp for a few weeks, suggesting he’s in good shape. Despite there being belief on both sides, some skepticism remains about the fight. In fact, according to World Boxing News, the results of Tyson’s pre-fight checks won’t be known by the Texas Department of License and Regulation until November 14 – the day before the fight. As per a set of WBN reports, Netflix and other event organizers harbor concerns about Tyson’s health, and he’s set to undergo more rigorous checks than other boxers. Should he present issues in those checks, the fight would likely be changed to an exhibition instead of professional rules. There is noted confidence on Jake’s side that everything goes as planned. The ‘Problem Child’ has yet to draft in a backup fighter as he has done for previous clashes. Rumors have swirled that, if he did need a backup, former WBC champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. could be an option. The WBA said they are “open” to some sort of title fight between the two. So, that would be an interesting fallback option for the YouTuber-turned-boxer. He has also suggested rule changes around the length of the clash, including taking it up to a 10-round fight.

Jake Paul makes Mike Tyson “guarantee” with brutal new training camp footage – Dexerto
Jake Paul makes Mike Tyson “guarantee” with brutal new training camp footage Instagram: @jakepaulJake Paul has told Mike Tyson that he will “outwork” the boxing legend after he shared footage of a brutal session from his training camp. Paul took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes look at his preparations for the fight with Tyson, as he arrived in Colorado to begin his training camp. The ‘Problem Child’ had previously shared a video of him partying that he claimed was “Day one of training”. But now, Paul has shared a video of his training camp which he began by saying: “You really thought I was partying?” Alongside the video, Paul wrote: “He [Tyson] may be stronger. He may be more experienced. But he will not outwork me. That I guarantee you. Training with Olympians at 6,000 feet.” The clip shows a montage of Paul working the pads in the ring while also undergoing a grueling series of cardio workouts. At the end of the video, Paul turns to the camera and says: “I’m coming for you, Mike!” The fight has drawn polarising views from some of the biggest figures in the sport. Tyson Fury has said that the bout is “fantastic for boxing“, while Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, dubbed it a “freak show“. Tyson and Paul will go head-to-head at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL‘s Dallas Cowboys on July, 20. The fight will be shown live on Netflix in another foray into the world of live sports from the streaming giant. Some critics have raised concerns for Tyson’s health given his 30-year age gap with Paul. But Tyson’s trainer, Rafael Cordeiro, has played down fears of any possible brain damage ahead of the fight.

‘Jake Paul & Logan Paul’ to finally fight in impersonators boxing match – Dexerto
‘Jake Paul & Logan Paul’ to finally fight in impersonators boxing match WWEJake Paul and Logan Paul are finally set to square off in the boxing ring, but it’s not as you think – it’s actually a set of impersonators. When the YouTube boxing revolution really kicked into gear, the Paul brothers – Logan and Jake – were front and center in that. The pair fought KSI and Deji in the first, truly global YouTube boxing card and have both taken it to other levels since then by taking part in professional fights. There has always been a lingering question though – when would they fight each other? The brothers have beefed online so much that it seemed only natural that they’d eventually tear it up in the middle of a boxing ring. Both Logan and Jake have downplayed it, however, stating that their family wouldn’t let them and that their actual disputes have never gotten to the point that they need to fight. Jake and Logan Paul impersonators fighting on March 19 However, there will be a Jake vs Logan fight after all, but not involving the YouTubers themselves. Instead, it’ll be a pair of impersonators. That’s right, a fake Jake vs Logan fight is taking place on March 16, and it’s on the undercard of Hasim Rahman Jr’s next fight in Tampa, Florida. The pro boxer was scheduled to fight Jake back in 2022, but the clash was canceled as Rahman Jr seemingly wasn’t on course to make weight. Despite Jake moving on to other fights, the veteran heavyweight has continued to take digs at the YouTuber-turned-boxer, and this is just his latest one. As it stands, neither Jake nor Logan have engaged in returning fire at Rahman Jr, but they are both preparing for big fights themselves – just in different disciplines. Logan returns to the WWE ring in Australia at the Elimination Chamber event on February 24, while Jake is fighting Ryan Bourland on March 2 in Puerto Rico. So, they’re pretty busy.

Jake Paul lays out one big condition for whoever wants to fight him after Mike Tyson – Dexerto
Jake Paul lays out one big condition for whoever wants to fight him after Mike Tyson YouTube: FOX NewsJake Paul has hinted at who he could fight after Mike Tyson, and it involves two fighters who are fighting on the undercard of that July superfight. When Jake Paul’s superfight with Mike Tyson was first announced, fans were initially skeptical about a few things. The 31-year age gap between the two fighters was the big one, as well as if it’d be a professional clash, and who’d be on the undercard. Answers have started to be provided for a few of those questions. Not only will the ‘Problem Child’ and ‘Iron’ Mike compete under professional rules, but the undercard is going to be stacked with interesting fights. Amanda Serrano, one of Jake’s teammates on the Most Valuable Promotions brand, is taking on Katie Taylor in a rematch of their 2022 classic. There is also a fight between ex-UFC fighter Darren Till and former boxing champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The clash between Till and Cesar Chavez Jr will not only be an interesting one, given the Mexican is coming off a loss to Anderson Silva, but it could also lead to one of them fighting Jake next. “Man, they’ve just got to make a statement. A KO, win the crowd over,” Jake told The Schmo when asked what the two fighters have got to do to come up against up him. “And, do so good that I see their skill and I am impressed and want to make a big fight with them happen.” Timestamp of 3:15 While undercard isn’t shaping up to be some sort of eliminator tournament for Jake’s next fight, there will be interesting clashes for him to keep an eye on. Some of the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s other long-time rivals, like Tyron Woodley and Neeraj Goyat, have also been floated as potential opponents for other crossover fights. Though, nothing has been announced for those just yet. So, we’ll have to wait and see if they do make it on the card.

Jake Paul knocks out opponent Ryan Bourland in first-round TKO – Dexerto
Jake Paul knocks out opponent Ryan Bourland in first-round TKO DAZNJake Paul delivered a brutal and quick performance on March 3 as he knocked out opponent Ryan Bourland with a first-round TKO. Jake Paul has abandoned high-profile influencer fights to try and pursue a more conventional path towards boxing superstardom. Jake chose his first opponent on this new journey to be the American Ryan Bourland, who came into the fight with a 17-2 record, on the Puerto Rico March 3 fight card headlined by Amanda Serrano (who ended up not being cleared to fight). Coming into the fight fans believed Jake Paul would dispatch relatively unknown opponent Bourland with ease, but not many predicted it to be as easy as it was. Jake finishes fight with ease in first-round Ryan Bourland kept things interesting for the first minute of the fight, keeping Jake back with tentative jabs, but Jake Paul made it clear in the second minute of the fight that he was the better fighter. He marched forward through the few punches that Bourland threw and started laying down a barrage of punches on his opponent. The referee started to creep closer to the fighters and Bourland had no answer for Jake’s punches, which included some heavy body hooks that landed clean. Bourland eventually couldn’t take any more of the brutal combinations and curled into a ball on the ropes, and the referee waved off the fight, giving Jake a first-round TKO to move his record to 9-1. “I wanted it [the fight] to be a little bit longer,” complained Jake in the post-fight interview. Still, Jake may get the wish for a longer fight, as rumors circulate about a potential rematch against Tommy Fury who handed the Paul brother his first-ever loss in professional boxing.

Jake Paul knocks Lil Pump to the floor with one punch – Dexerto
Jake Paul knocks Lil Pump to the floor with one punch X/Twitter: Happy PunchJake Paul made rapper Lil Pump fall to the floor after punching him straight in the gut. As Jake Paul gears up for his boxing match against Mike Tyson on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Texas, he’s put in plenty of work to prepare himself. While his training is rigorous, Jake took time away from a session to throw around some punches with rapper Lil Pump. Lil Pump, who doesn’t necessarily box, was told by Jake to not take a hard punch to the gut that he allegedly asked for. “I told you not to do it,” Jake said as Lil Pump fell to the floor of the boxing ring after one punch. Fans of Jake and Lil Pump have since reacted to the viral moment by saying Lil Pump didn’t “flex or prepare for the punch” and that he “took it straight to the organs.” Another fan wrote that the ‘I Love It’ rapper was sent into a “punch-induced labor.” While another added, “This will be the reverse when Tyson is in the ring.” Though Lil Pump let out harrowing noises to alert Jake and bystanders of his pain, it is unknown if he needed to seek medical attention.

Jake Paul issued brutal Mike Tyson warning by Chuck Liddell – Dexerto
Jake Paul issued brutal Mike Tyson warning by Chuck Liddell Associated PressUFC legend Chuck Liddell sees no way that Jake Paul goes the distance against Mike Tyson in their upcoming mega fight on July 20. Liddell feels that Tyson will give Paul a beat down that he’s yet to experience in the boxing ring. The 54-year-old is sold on Tyson still having elite pugilism within his aging bones. Many boxing enthusiasts, including Liddell, know that “Iron Mike’s” supreme power could still trump Paul who is 30 years his junior. Liddell is convinced that the only way Paul could conceivably pull out a victory is if Tyson “takes a dive” and he has issued a brutal warning to the YouTube star in the process. Chuck Liddell predicts Mike Tyson KO’s Jake Paul Liddell could only laugh as a TMZ Sports reporter approached him at the airport and asked if Paul stands a chance against boxing’s former youngest heavyweight champion in history. “Yeah, if Tyson’s taking a dive he’s the favorite. But if Tyson hits him, it’s over,” Liddell boldly warned. “The last thing to go is power. He hits him [Paul] it’s over. And Mike still hits.” He, like the rest of the boxing world, was likely judging his opinion off of the last we’ve seen of Tyson in the ring. Tyson’s viral promo leading up to his return fight against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020 incited fear in all who saw the then-54-year-old annihilate the pads in training camp. Meanwhile, Paul has secured victories over future UFC Hall-of-Famers like Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley. Though, he’s yet to square off against a former boxing champion. If Liddell’s assertions come true, we may see an early KO on the night.

Jake Paul is training with US Olympic boxing team but it’s not what you think – Dexerto
Jake Paul is training with US Olympic boxing team but it’s not what you think YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul has revealed that he’s training with the US Olympic boxing team, but it’s not in the way that you think. The younger Paul brother has made a name for himself over the years as a successful boxer, with his latest being the July 20 bout against Mike Perry. On July 23, Jake revealed that he’s working alongside the US Olympic boxing team during the 2024 Paris event as an “honorary coach” but it’s not how you’d probably think. In a video uploaded on YouTube, Jake Paul revealed that he’s working alongside the team to teach the fighters meditation, breathwork, and how to stay composed during their fights. The documentary-style video includes all of the fighters on the USA Olympic team, and it shows their training session in Colorado Springs before they left to go to Paris. “It’s really cool for me to be able to see the stage of boxing that I skipped,” he said. “Being able to connect with that is very special to me… I’m here to help however I can.” Jake Paul tried to join the Olympic boxing team Jake spoke about his involvement with the US Boxing team on the July 24 episode of Impaulsive, and he revealed that he tried to join the team. “I missed the cutoff. When we came up with the idea, we were like three weeks late. I can do it in LA,” he said before Logan asked if he would actually try to do it. “I think I might. I think it would be sick,” Jake said. (Topic starts at 18:44) After the Olympics, Jake will begin training for his fight in November against legendary boxer Mike Tyson. The bout will be the first-ever live streamed event on Netflix, but questions about Tyson’s age have some people wondering if it will actually happen.

Jake Paul hits back at Tommy Fury rematch call out with new offer – Dexerto
Jake Paul hits back at Tommy Fury rematch call out with new offer YouTube: JOE/Disruptors PodcastJake Paul has hit back at Tommy Fury’s call out for a rematch, but the ‘Problem Child’ is now looking to lower his offer compared to last time. When Jake Paul and Tommy Fury squared off in February 2023, and the British Reality TV star snapped the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s unbeaten streak, it seemed like a rematch was pretty inevitable. There were reports that the pair would meet again later that summer, however, that came and went because of an injury to the Brit. Fury then defeated KSI in November 2023 as Jake watched on. Even though he’s preparing to fight Mike Tyson in July, Jake has still found time to beef with Tommy, offering him $20 million for a two-fight rematch that would include an MMA clash inside the PFL cage. While he didn’t reject that offer, Fury stated that the pair have unfinished business that he’ll get around to and he has been taunting Jake on social media, asking when they’ll be “dancing again” in his most recent message. Well, that led to a brutal swipe back from his rival. “You need money Tommy? Learn from big bro and stop letting daddy manage your career and finances,” Jake said in the comments of Fury’s post. “You missed out on the biggest opportunity of your life, #PaulTyson. My next offer is going to be half that.” The ‘Problem Child’ has been dishing out big offers left, right, and center recently, and has the backing of the PFL to do just that. He’s also targeted two of his other rivals, Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal, with big money offers for an MMA fight, but neither of them have bitten just yet.

Jake Paul debunks “absurd” Mike Tyson boxing rules rumors – Dexerto
Jake Paul debunks “absurd” Mike Tyson boxing rules rumors YouTube: BS w/ Jake PaulJake Paul has shut down rumors about the rules for his upcoming boxing match with Mike Tyson this summer, calling the farcical guidelines totally “absurd.” Jake Paul is gearing up to face off against boxing legend Mike Tyson this summer in a special live event streamed exclusively on Netflix. News of the match exploded on social media earlier this month, sparking a debate about who will end up winning and why Jake continues to challenge older fighters, but other rumors also cropped up about the supposed rules of their upcoming bout. A TikTok uploaded by creator ‘More Pickem Petey’ claimed Paul would be required to wear headgear like an “amateur boxer,” while Mike Tyson wouldn’t wear any. That’s not all; Petey made another wild claim that Jake would be able to “tag in” his older brother, Logan Paul, if he was gassing out — something Jake dismissed as “absurd.” “It’s so sad that millions of people believe that,” he said in a March 21 podcast episode. “It’s f**king absurd. First of all, obviously, none of that’s true… They’re so f**king stupid. Anyone who believes that sh*t should not be allowed to vote.” “It’s sad. We live in a f**ked up world. Humans are getting more and more stupid every single day. It’s crazy, bro.” (Topic begins at 20:50) Paul’s business partner, Nakisa Bidarian, similarly debunked any rumors that headgear would be used in the bout. “Unequivocally there is no headgear for Paul vs Tyson,” he reportedly posted on Instagram. “Haters spreading fake news but it won’t stop the 10’s of millions of views.” However, other rumors claiming that the two will use heavier boxing gloves have yet to be confirmed or denied, and whether or not the bout will be officially sanctioned is also still up in the air at the time of writing.

Jake Paul “heartbroken” after Mike Tyson fight is postponed – Dexerto
Jake Paul “heartbroken” after Mike Tyson fight is postponed X — Jake Paul; Associated PressJake Paul told fans he was “heartbroken” after hearing that his boxing match vs Mike Tyson would be postponed until further notice. Paul and Tyson were originally slated to meet on July 20 in Arlington, Texas, in a match between the social media star turned pro boxer and the legendary heavyweight. However, due to health concerns surrounding Tyson, the fight will no longer take place on the scheduled date as ‘Iron Mike’ heeds medical advice to ease up on training. The former world champion suffered an ulcer flare-up during his May 27 flight from Miami to Los Angeles, which resulted in immediate concern from fans online. While Tyson tried to downplay the worries, medical professionals believe light training is best for the 57-year-old after the flare-up. According to the statement released by Most Valuable Promotions, Tyson will do minimal workouts for the next few weeks. Then, he will return to training with no limitations. As such, Paul took to social media to express his somber feelings over the postponement of his match vs Tyson. “Obviously, devastating news. I am heartbroken,” Paul told fans. “Speechless, gutted. Like, we’ve been working so hard over here. “But I do value Mike’s health first and foremost — I love that guy. I have so much respect for him, and I want Mike to be healthy. “I’m ready whenever you are. This is too big of an opportunity. I think this fight is going to change the world.” Paul has met criticism from some in the boxing community since he agreed to the fight. And following Tyson’s health concerns, those comments only ramped up. However, according to Tyson himself, he’s still ready to go. And he promised to knock ‘The Problem Child’ out when they finally meet in the ring. “Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time. But in the end, you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good,” the legend said in a written statement. Now, all that fans can do is wait, as Netflix has promised a new fight date “by the end of next week.”

Jake Paul fires back at KSI after he mocked him for fighting Mike Tyson – Dexerto
Jake Paul fires back at KSI after he mocked him for fighting Mike Tyson YouTube: Aubrey MarcusYouTube star turned professional boxer Jake Paul has fired back at his rival KSI after mocking him for fighting Mike Tyson. Considered to be one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, Mike Tyson will be stepping back into the boxing ring on July 20 with no other than YouTuber Jake Paul. However, ‘The Problem Child’ has faced backlash from boxing fans, fighters, and his longtime rival KSI — who are concerned over the 31-year age gap between them, where Tyson will be 58 years old by the time of the fight. KSI certainly didn’t hold back his thoughts on the bout. “50+ years old. No one wanted this…So sad to see man…” the British YouTube star said. Jake Paul responds after criticism from KSI In a March 12 Kick stream with Adin Ross, Jake Paul took the opportunity to hit back at the criticism and backlash around his fight with Mike Tyson. The 27-year-old lashed out at KSI, slamming him as a b*tch. “You want to know the difference between Mike Tyson and KSI?… Mike Tyson will actually fight me,” he hit out. “So who’s the b*tch now? Like that’s the difference bro. ‘Oh, Mike’s this, Mike’s 57,’ but Mike signed the contract you f**king b*tch.” Jake Paul added: “KSI you can say whatever you want, but you’re fat running around doing Sidemen YouTube videos and I’m changing the sport of boxing, the biggest fight of the 21st century, Netflix.” He continued: “What could anybody possibly say while you’re making FIFA reaction videos? Bro, I’m sorry, but we’re just not the same and you’re 30 years old.” Jake Paul went on to make note that KSI himself said he wouldn’t step in the ring with Tyson, admitting he wouldn’t be able to beat the legendary boxer. “So make up your f**king mind, you’re just are a cowardly b*tch that is like so insecure,” he lashed out. It’s unclear whether Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson will be a professional bout or an exhibition fight. Although the rules allegedly enforce headgear and 18oz gloves.

Jake Paul fires back as ex-boxing champ threatens to “beat the sh*t out of him” – Dexerto
Jake Paul fires back as ex-boxing champ threatens to “beat the sh*t out of him” YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul has clapped back at threats from a former boxing champion after they said they’d travel to Puerto Rico and “beat the s*it out of him” ahead of his March 2nd return to the ring. Since losing to Tommy Fury back in February 2023, Jake Paul has had his eyes firmly set on fighting ‘real’ boxers – fighters who have dedicated their lives to boxing, seemingly regardless of their skills. He’s already beaten Andre August and is scheduled to fight former Golden Gloves champion Ryan Boruland on March 2. Jake has also gotten into a war of words with Neeraj Goyat, the former WBC Asian champion, who has competed in 24 professional fights, winning 18 and losing four. Goyat had previously called out Jake for a fight, prompting the YouTuber-turned-boxer to say that he’d travel to India to fight in the future. Though, things have gone up a level again now. Jake Paul responds as Neeraj Goyat threatens to fight him in Puerto Rico The Indian fighter posted an Instagram video on February 21, questioning Jake’s claim that he’d go to India and fight him at some point. Neeraj mocked the YouTuber-turned-boxer by putting plenty of missing posters up around towns before issuing a threat that involved him heading to Puerto Rico, where Jake is training. “Fake Paul, I’m coming to Puerto Rico to beat the s*it out of you. Hide wherever you want, bring whoever you want, I’ll come alone and I’ll beat Jake Paul. Fake Paul, enough talking, now my punches will talk,” he said. “Fake Paul, I’m coming to Puerto Rico.” The internet star quickly responded to that video, commenting on it a few hours later. “Don’t make that mistake. The only thing missing are your boxing skills,” he said. Jake’s MVP brand also replied to Neeraj’s post, inviting him to Puerto Rico. “MVP and the people of Puerto Rico would welcome you, irrespective of Jake Paul and you fighting,” they said. It remains to be seen if the Indian fighter will go through with his promise, but it’s clear he’s doing a fair bit to try and get to fight Jake.

Jake Paul finally clashes with former boxing champ as they want to fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul finally clashes with former boxing champ as they want to fight YouTube: Aubrey MarcusJake Paul has finally clashed with Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat after he flew to Puerto Rico ahead of Jake’s match-up with Ryan Bourland, and the two of them are still eager to fight. When Jake Paul first stepped into the world of professional boxing, he was all about crossover fights. His first pro fight was against another influencer, AnEsonGib, before moving on to fight the likes of Nate Robinson, Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Nate Diaz. Since losing to Tommy Fury in February, the YouTuber-turned-boxer has since moved on to fighting ‘real’ boxers, defeating Andre August in December. Even though he returns to the ring on March 2 to fight Ryan Bourland, Jake has been engaged in a war of words with Neeraj Goyat. The Indian boxer is a bit of a journeyman heavyweight, winning 18 of his 24 professional fights, but has held several regional titles, including being WBC Asian champion. Jake stated that, at some point in the future, he would travel to India to fight him, but Neeraj has actually jetted into Puerto Rico. Jake Paul & Neeraj Goyat meet face-to-face amid trash talk That’s right, after calling out Jake for not traveling to his home country, the Indian boxer has fulfilled his promise of confronting him in Puerto Rico ahead of his return to the ring. Naturally, the pair ended up coming face-to-face outside Jake’s training camp, exchanging a few more words. “I’m a man of my word, I’m here, I’m in your country,” Goyat said, questioning Jake for using translation services to trash talk in Punjab. “I respect you for showing up man to man, but you don’t want to fight, you don’t want to fight,” Jake said before the pair had to be separated. The pair have both said that a fight is something they’d consider, but Jake’s fight with Bourland means that it something would have to wait. It remains to be seen if it’ll happen after that fight on March 2, but it is clearly something that is drawing attention.

Jake Paul finally claps back at fight callout from NFL star Tyreek Hill – Dexerto
Jake Paul finally claps back at fight callout from NFL star Tyreek Hill YouTube: BS w/ Jake PaulJake Paul has addressed the recent callout from NFL star Tyreek Hill after the wide receiver said he’d love to fight the YouTuber-turned-boxer in either boxing or mixed martial arts. Since stepping into the world of combat sports, Jake Paul has been called out by a wide range of fighters and athletes who’d love to take him on – either in the boxing ring or in a mixed martial arts fight. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has already the likes of Nate Robinson, Ben Aksren, Nate Diaz, and Tyron Woodley in crossover fights but has been prioritizing ‘real’ boxers in recent months. He lost to Tommy Fury in February of 2023 but recently defeated Andre August, and is preparing to take on Ryan Bourland on March 2. However, he received an unusual callout in late February from Miami Dolphins superstar Tyreek Hill, as the wide receiver said he wanted to fight Jake at some point – regardless of whether it’s in the boxing ring or MMA cage. Jake Paul hits back at Tyreek Hill after fight callout As noted, the callout comes during Jake’s training camp for the fight with Bourland, and if you’d expect Jake to ignore it and focus on his upcoming clash, well, you’d be wrong. The ‘Problem Child’ hit back at Hill, stating that he’d ‘maul’ the NFL superstar. “All these guys yap yap yap,” Jake tweeted. “Tyreek – you would get mauled in the ring by me. Lion kills a cheetah every time in a small space. Nowhere to run. Come on brother. “ Jake also took some digs at Neeraj Goyat, the Indian boxer who traveled to Puerto Rico to meet him at his training camp, as well as Tommy Fury. “Neeraj – brave for coming to PR all the way from India. But you too small brother. 1 hand is all I need. Tommy – you been running for a year now. I’m ready anytime. Offered you 8 figures. You and daddy think it’s worth more…ok bring me the money,” he added. It remains to be seen if he’ll fight any of them after his clash with Bourland, however.

Jake Paul finally admits he is “scared” of Mike Tyson despite predicting win – Dexerto
Jake Paul finally admits he is “scared” of Mike Tyson despite predicting win YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul has admitted he is “scared” of Mike Tyson ahead of their superfight, but he still believes he has got more than a puncher’s chance when it comes to winning. After years of talking and constant ‘will they, won’t they?’ Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will square off inside the boxing ring come July. The ‘Problem Child’ and ‘Iron’ Mike are fighting each other in Dallas, Texas, live on Netflix, in what will ultimately be an exhibition. Since the fight was announced, Jake has repeatedly claimed that he’s got a pretty big chance to beat the former Heavyweight king as he has been placing his youthfulness way above Tyson’s experience. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has also spoken about not being scared of ‘Iron’ Mike’s punching power, claiming he has an iron chin. However, that has changed a bit now, as he’s admitted he is a “little scared” of his rival. “I don’t get why people… it’s very 50/50 but, to the people that don’t think I’m going to win, I’m younger, faster, sharper, and can hit at the same levels that he can and be able to take his punches,” Jake said on episode 44 of his BS with Jake Paul podcast. “Like, I’m a little scared because it is Mike Tyson and when I look across the ring I’m just going to have a ‘wow’ moment that I’m about to fight Mike Tyson.” Timestamp of 7:40 Given that the fight is in July, Jake does have plenty of time to prepare for his meeting with Tyson, but he does have an MVP event at the end of April before then. It remains to be sene if he’ll fight on that card, or if the spotlight will be placed on his stable of fighters. On top of that, he’s also drawn the attention of former UFC fight and pro boxer Clay Collard, who says he wants to ‘kick his ass’. So, Jake has a fair bit to deal with.

Jake Paul eyes massive boxing title fight as he claims he’s “best in the world” – Dexerto
Jake Paul eyes massive boxing title fight as he claims he’s “best in the world” YouTube: BS w/ Jake PaulJake Paul believes he is the “best” cruiserweight in boxing and is eyeing up a world title fight, which could come against the currently undefeated Jai Opetaia. Despite his record mainly consisting of crossover fights with MMA fighters, Jake Paul hasn’t been shy about the fact he’s trying to become a boxing world champion and fight the best of the best. The ‘Problem Child’ has gone after the likes of Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, believing he’ll fight the Mexican superstar in a few years. Canelo previously wouldn’t even entertain the idea, but he has come around a little bit and is open to it happening – just not anytime soon. Even though he’s fighting Ryan Bourland on March 2, the YouTuber-turned-boxer is already looking beyond the veteran fighter as he wants to take on Jai Opetaia as he believes the Aussie will regain a world title before long. Jake Paul wants to fight Jai Opetaia as he claims he’s “best in the world” Jake had been speaking to FOX Sports Australia about the current state of the Cruiserweight division, claiming that he is the “best” Cruiserweight in the world at the minute. “I’m the best in the world. That’s what I believe. And that’s what every fighter who gets to where they want to be believes,” Jake said. “And you have to believe it before the statistics or rounds of fights put you there. I believe all things considered, my natural ability, my talent, my IQ, all of these things, my ability to learn, to adapt, my toughness, preparation, my willpower, my team, all of the things behind me, I believe that I am the best fighter in the world.” In terms of fighting Opetaia – who takes on Mairis Briedis for the IBF Cruiserweight title in May – Jake said it would be “very interesting to see what happens over the next 18 months to two years.” The YouTuber-turned-boxer also has an MMA debut to mix in at some point, too, as he’s still scheduled to fight for the PFL. So, who knows?

Jake Paul explains why the Mike Tyson fight is a win-win situation for him – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why the Mike Tyson fight is a win-win situation for him Associated PressThe controversial boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson is on the horizon, and Paul believes that no matter the outcome of the fight, he will be a winner. Since its announcement, boxing fans have questioned why the Paul vs. Tyson fight is even happening. Some have called out ‘The Problem Child,’ stating it’s a lose-lose situation for him. Either he wins the match and gets criticized for beating up a man 30 years his elder, or he loses to a 58-year-old Tyson, who has been retired for nearly two decades. But Paul disagrees with this stance. In an episode of BS w/ Jake Paul, the social media star turned boxer explained why it is impossible for him to lose on July 20. “It’s a win-win for many reasons. First of all, it’s the biggest fight of the 21st century — up there with Mayweather vs. McGregor,” Paul said. “And on Netflix, we are entering into potentially a streaming era of the sport of boxing, bringing that to fruition, and doing it in Dallas Cowboys stadium. “The amount of kids that will sign up to go box the next day, the amount of people this will inspire. How electric of an event this will be; it’s a dream come true for me personally.” He mentioned how vital the Netflix fight card will be for Most Valuable Promotions, promising a massive influx of cash from the event. It’s yet another reason why Paul believes he can’t lose. The polarizing star then detailed how incredible his journey has been, from making ‘Vines’ to fighting one of the most popular boxers in history. “I can’t believe it. Look at where I got in four years of boxing. It’s unbelievable. I’ve risen to the epitome, the highest level, and I get to step in there with one of the two most famous boxers to ever live. “One being Muhammad Ali, and two being Mike Tyson. Just off of that, it’s a win.” The fight will go on both men’s professional boxing records, so contrary to what Paul says, there will be a winner and a loser — barring a draw on the judges’ scorecards. Even if Paul officially loses, his Most Valuable Promotions brand will only grow. And as he touched on during the podcast, it opens the door for a younger generation to get into boxing. Plus, sharing the ring with someone he idolized his entire life is enough of a cherry on top to ensure Jake Paul leaves AT&T Stadium with a smile spanning from ear to ear.

Jake Paul confirms he’ll fight weeks after Bourland win against mystery opponent – Dexerto
Jake Paul confirms he’ll fight weeks after Bourland win against mystery opponent YouTube: Official Jake PaulJake Paul, fresh off a dominant first-round TKO of Ryan Bourland, already has a confirmed date for his next fight. Jake Paul’s latest opponent, Ryan Bourland, is an aging boxer with only one fight in the past five years. As such, Paul entered the ring as the heavy favorite, and mere moments after the opening bell, it was clear to see why. Bourland couldn’t keep up with Paul’s speed or power, as the YouTuber-turned-boxer outclassed the former Golden Gloves champion. Paul predicted a second-round knockout of Bourland in the lead-up. But as he jokingly said after the fight, he was too generous with that guess. Assessing candidates for Jake Paul’s next fight Only two days after notching a second straight first-round stoppage, Paul already has a date for his next boxing match. On X, Paul announced that April 26 would mark his return to the ring. But he did not mention who the fight would be with, leaving fans to speculate. While several rumors are swirling regarding Paul’s potential opponent in April, one fighter stands above the rest as the most likely choice. But let’s address two other rumors first. Ryan Garcia Notably, Garcia has been calling Paul out nonstop over the past few weeks. It all came to a head last weekend when Garcia claimed Paul is “disrespecting boxing.” After Paul’s recent victory against Bourland, reporters asked about this comment. He downplayed a potential fight, saying that Garcia doesn’t deserve it and if it happens, it will be “light work” for Paul. Between Paul’s disinterest, Garcia’s ongoing concerns, and the fact Garcia is slated to meet Devin Haney on April 20, this match won’t happen — at least, not in April. Canelo Alvarez Jake Paul challenging Canelo Alvarez is a pipe dream for multiple reasons. First, Alvarez is amongst the most established boxers in the world. Also, the multi-time world champion will reportedly fight Jaime Munguia on May 4, only one week after Paul’s confirmed date of April 26. Fighting Alvarez would be by far and away the biggest challenge of Paul’s short career, as the champion-level boxer boasts a career record of 60-2-2. It won’t happen in April, but if Paul can continue making headway in the boxing world, there’s always a chance of a money fight taking place later down the road. Neeraj Goyat Paul’s next opponent will likely be Neeraj Goyat. He is a rising Indian boxer who has been trading verbal blows with Paul. The most famous instance is a recent parking lot stare-down between the two on social media. As Paul has stated, there is plenty of money to be made in a potential fight with Goyat, especially if it takes place in his home country of India. Paul has mentioned that fighting in India and expanding his brand to another country excites him. “He’s India’s biggest and best boxer. Maybe one day, we’ll see,” Paul said of Goyat. That one day could be April 26. Until Paul confirms a venue, and his next opponent, Goyat sits as the front runner.

Jake Paul confirms former Gold Gloves champion as opponent for March 2 boxing return – Dexerto
Jake Paul confirms former Gold Gloves champion as opponent for March 2 boxing return DAZNJake Paul’s opponent for his March 2 return to boxing has been announced, and it looks like he’s taking yet another step up in quality following his win over Andre August. When Jake Paul first stepped into the world of boxing, he was taking on athletes from different sports who were just dipping their toes into things. The YouTuber-turned-boxer quickly outclassed a few of his opponents in those crossover fights and set his sights on something more. Jake then went after ‘real’ boxers who have actually dedicated their life to the sweet science. He fell at the first hurdle, losing to Tommy Fury, but got back on the horse to fight Andre August in mid-December. The 27-year-old took home the win there with a first-round knockout. After a few weeks out of action, the internet sensation revealed that he’d be fighting on the undercard for Amanda Serrano vs Nina Meinke on March 2nd in Puerto Rice – but his opponent had been a bit of a mystery. Jake Paul to fight veteran cruiserweight Ryan Bourland Well, that has changed now. Jake’s Most Valuable Promotions brand has now revealed that he’ll be fighting Ryan Bourland, a 35-year-old cruiserweight who has a record of 17 wins and two defeats. Six of Bourland’s 17 wins have come by way of knockout and he is a former Golden Gloves champion. However, he hasn’t fought in the ring since 2022 – and even that came after a four-year hiatus from boxing, most of which he’s done on the regional circuit in California. Despite the inactivity, the veteran cruiserweight is on a three-fight winning streak, winning his last fight inside 20 seconds. In his two defeats, Bourland has only been knocked out once. His last defeat came as part of a majority decision, so he can certainly go the distance in scrappy fights. A win over Bourland is hardly going to get him in the reckoning for a cruiserweight world title shot, but it will be further progress for Jake as continues his journey.

Jake Paul challenges Tommy Fury to “20 million dollar” rematch – Dexerto
Jake Paul challenges Tommy Fury to “20 million dollar” rematch Instagram/jakepaulJake Paul’s loss to Tommy Fury over a year ago made waves within the boxing community. Despite many respecting Jake Paul’s performance, even if he lost, he’s still hungry for a rematch. In the world of influencer boxing, Jake Paul is one of the biggest and best boxers in the scene. He’s taken on a number of professional boxers over the course of his career, and he’s been a driving force behind the ever-rising popularity of influencer boxing events. He’s garnered the praise of trusted voices in the UFC like Joe Rogan for his performance in the ring. However, his split-decision loss to Tommy Fury remains controversial to this day, and the boxer wants a chance at redemption. Jake Paul has now challenged Tommy Fury to a rematch, one he claims would be worth at least 20 million dollars. Jake Paul calls out Tommy Fury for rematch Jake Paul wanting a rematch with Tommy Fury is nothing new, though it’s hard to fault the man for his tenacity in wanting to step into the ring again. This time around, he claimed that Tommy Fury was “hard-headed” and that he’s been trying to ‘price himself out’ of being forced into a rematch. Paul boldly claimed that “all doors lead to me” in Fury’s career. So, Jake Paul wants a rematch in both boxing and MMA. He not only challenged Tommy Fury to get back in the ring, but he also wants to take him into the PFL (Professional Fighters League) for a mixed-martial arts bout as well. This rematch would supposedly be worth “nearly 20 million dollars of guaranteed money” for Tommy, with Jake doing everything he can to try and make it so that the boxer has no reason to step away from the challenge. Though Jake Paul’s previous attempts at getting another shot at taking down Tommy Fury have been unsuccessful, this may be an offer too good for him to step away from. It remains to be seen if we’ll really get the long-awaited rematch between these two fighters, however.

Jake Paul casts doubt on Tommy Fury rematch after heated phone call – Dexerto
Jake Paul casts doubt on Tommy Fury rematch after heated phone call YouTube: BS w/ Jake PaulJake Paul isn’t convinced his rematch with Tommy Fury will ever happen after disclosing the details of a phone call with the British boxer who gave him his first-ever loss last year. YouTube-boxer Jake Paul doesn’t think one of the biggest matches in his career will come to fruition after a recent phone call with his would-be opponent. In February 2023, British boxer and reality TV star Tommy Fury defeated Paul by split-decision, marking ‘The Problem Child’s’ first-ever loss in the boxing ring after months of failed attempts at scheduling a fight. Up until that point, Paul had enjoyed a prolific career, taking victories over former pro athletes and fellow influencers alike. But Tommy put a black mark on Jake’s otherwise near-perfect record, sparking doubt among influencer-boxing fans. Luckily, Paul made his comeback against UFC star Nate Diaz and pro boxer Andre August, knocking out the former in the very first round of their December bout. Now, it looks like Paul is attempting to schedule a rematch with Fury after proving his mettle in the ring… but he’s not confident it’ll actually happen. Jake Paul unsure if Tommy Fury rematch will happen In an episode of his podcast, BS w/ Jake Paul, Paul went over the details of a phone call he had with Fury, who he claimed was asking for “more money” over and over again in spite of the apparently lucrative deal Jake had offered him. “He’s not getting more money by fighting anybody else, and we have an amazing offer for him out there,” Jake said. “It’s kind of like these excuses after excuses, and I just don’t think people are really wanting to [watch it].” “Obviously, Tommy already beat me, so people will be like, ‘Oh, he already beat you, why wouldn’t he do it again?’ But he sees my skill set advancing, he knows he had me at my worst.” (Topic begins at 21:26) For now, nothing has been confirmed as to a bout between these two fighters. However, Paul is fighting on March 2 against an as-yet unnamed opponent — and it’s unclear if he was hoping Fury would be his rival for the event. Both Paul and Fury are on the hook for the ultimate result of their eventual rematch, though, with Fury’s coach claiming he’d make him “retire” if he loses and Logan Paul saying Jake will need to “change his last name” if he takes another L.

Jake Paul calls out Nate Diaz & Jorge Masvidal for MMA fight on one condition – Dexerto
Jake Paul calls out Nate Diaz & Jorge Masvidal for MMA fight on one condition Associated Press | Most Valuable Promotions – Instagram | Fanmio – InstagramJake Paul hit back at Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal for disrespecting him at their most recent boxing press conference and challenged both to a fight in the Octagon under one condition. Paul has not competed in MMA competition in his four-year boxing career, but has elevated from a talented exhibition fighter to a skilled boxer. He defeated Diaz when they fought in the boxing ring on August 5, 2023, which took their existing feud to another level. Masvidal has also found himself in Paul’s crosshairs as the 27-year-old aims to conquer as many fighters as he can to move up the pro boxing ranks. As a result, Masvidal belittled the YouTube star when asked about how he views Diaz ahead of their boxing fight this year, judging by his debut performance against Paul at a press conference on April 13. “I don’t think it was his best. I don’t think he was even training for this dude. I don’t blame him, cause Jake, who the f*** is Jake anyways, right?” Masvidal said before continuing his criticism. “I’m not Jake Paul. I’m not Tony Ferguson. I’m a mean athlete.” Diaz was later asked what he’s learned from his 10-round bout against Paul, to which he replied: “F*** Jake Paul,” which Masvidal echoed. Paul fired shots at both light heavyweights on X after catching wind of their jabs. He first reminded Diaz of the number he did on him in their boxing match before slamming Masvidal and UFC president Dana White for hindering a fight between the two. Paul is gearing up for his fight against Mike Tyson on July 20. Win or lose, the Ohio native is expected to continue competing against combat sports greats. Should Masvidal defeat Diaz in their “Last Man Standing” fight on June 1, and the alleged restrictions from the UFC Paul referenced are lifted, he could find himself head-to-head against Paul and get a chance to back up his vicious trash talk.

Jake Paul calls brother Logan a liar after Mike Tyson comments – Dexerto
Jake Paul calls brother Logan a liar after Mike Tyson comments Associated PressThe Paul Brothers have taken the boxing world by storm, but following a recent accusation, a feud between Jake and Logan could be on the horizon, according to fans. Jake Paul’s announcement to fight Mike Tyson drew considerable backlash from boxing fans. And Logan Paul’s recent comments have set the stage for some brotherly beef. On his IMPAULSIVE podcast, Logan revealed that he was offered the Tyson fight first and declined it. He and podcast co-host KSI laughed and called the fight “crazy.” Jake accused Logan of fabricating the entire story in response to his brother’s claim. He then questioned why his own brother would do such a thing. Jake Paul fires back at Logan Paul’s “lie” “My brother and I’s relationship sometimes has to be aired out. But it seems as if the court of public opinion is the only thing that steers him,” Jake said on BS w/ Jake Paul. “It is weird to lie. To blatantly just lie. We signed a deal with Netflix, and our goal was to get another fighter to fight me. “We were the ones that brought the Netflix deal to Tyson. So, Tyson was never in the market offering people the fight for anyone to turn down. “So, yes. It is weird to go online and lie. I am always having to defend myself and be undermined and be ‘little-bro’d.’ “Why is someone, my own brother, trying to make me look like the second option for Tyson? “Like ‘Oh yeah, I turned down that deal’ — no, you didn’t, that’s a complete lie. And why are you fabricating lies?” Fans online began speculating about a potential Paul vs. Paul feud. While that fight would undoubtedly do large pay-per-view numbers, it’s hard to believe this one disagreement would be enough to incite a full-fledged beef. But given how much money a sibling rivalry would rake in, perhaps it will eventually bleed into the boxing ring — even if it’s not as imminent as some fans seem to believe.

Jake Paul called out by record-holder ex-UFC champ who would “love” to fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul called out by record-holder ex-UFC champ who would “love” to fight Wade PlemJake Paul has been called out by former UFC champion Tony Ferguson as the lightweight is eager to fight the YouTuber-turned-boxer on the back of his record-tying losing streak inside the Octagon. Even though he says he’s focused on fighting ‘real’ boxers these days, Jake Paul has done plenty of verbal sparring with different mixed martial artists. The ‘Problem Child’ has gone after the likes of Conor McGregor, Dana White, Jorge Masvidal, and Nate Diaz in the past, to name just a few. Given that he’s beaten Diaz and former UFC star Tyron Woodley, there have been shots sent his way from other UFC fighters too – especially those who are looking to fight him now that they’re moving away from the Octagon. Seeing as he’s on a UFC record-tying streak of seven losses, Tony Ferguson is someone who certainly falls into that category too, and he’s taken a few digs at Jake recently. Tony Ferguson would “love” to fight Jake Paul That’s right, the former interim lightweight champion has gone after Jake, claiming that he wants to take on the YouTuber-turned-boxer in a fight. “Look, I’m gonna be real with you. I’m calling out Jake. I would love to fight you, dude,” Ferguson said on the JAXXON Podcast. “I don’t call or talk to too many people or call them out but Jake is the one in a lot of these up-and-coming people – when I talked about insurance for fighters and so on, I plant that seed and a lot of these other fighters, they go and they take it to another level.” El Cucuy previously said he’s not retiring from fighting, so it could be that he’s looking to take on Jake in the PFL. The ‘Problem Child’ signed a multi-year deal with the MMA organization and is expected to debut in 2024. It remains to be seen if Ferguson would fit the bill, especially given he’s a lightweight and Jake typically fights at cruiserweight.

Jake Paul called out by pro boxer & ex-UFC fighter who wants to ‘kick his ass’ – Dexerto
Jake Paul called out by pro boxer & ex-UFC fighter who wants to ‘kick his ass’ YouTube: Aubrey MarcusA former UFC fighter, who is also a pro boxer, has stated that he wants to fight Jake Paul and “kick ass” as the YouTuber-turned-boxer is still without an opponent for his MMA debut. Since getting into the world of combat sports, Jake Paul has had his fair share of callouts from other fighters – both boxers and mixed martial artists. The ‘Problem Child’ has seen an increase in callouts from MMA fighters following his deal with the PFL, as many want to take revenge on him after he’s beaten the likes of Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren, and Nate Diaz inside the boxing ring. Jake and the PFL have promised that the YouTuber-turned-boxer will fight a ‘big name’ in his MMA debut, but he’s now been called out by Clay Collard – a former UFC fighter who now competes for the PFL. Collard, who has also boxed professionally, racking up a 9-6-3 record, told Talksport’s MMA channel that Jake is the “only guy” he actually wants to box. “The only guy I want to box is Jake Paul,” the 31-year-old said. “I just want to do it for all those MMA fighters that he has beat up. “I have played the game of boxing a little bit unlike most of these guys so I think he would definitely have his hands full against me. But he’s doing crazy s**t now. I want to kick your ass.” Collard hasn’t set the world alight in his recent fights and is on a three-fight losing streak in boxing, as well as losing his last two MMA contests. Jake does have his plate full with a fight against Mike Tyson scheduled for July. He also has an event on April 26, where he is apparently set to box again.

Jake Paul called out by Mike Tyson opponent after fight postponement – Dexerto
Jake Paul called out by Mike Tyson opponent after fight postponement Associated PressFormer Mike Tyson opponent Roy Jones Jr has thrown his hat into the ring to replace Tyson in his postponed fight with Jake Paul. Paul and Tyson were scheduled to face off on Saturday, July 20, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, but the fight was postponed after Tyson suffered a medical scare. After getting dizzy following an ulcer flare-up on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles, Tyson was treated by paramedics after landing at LAX airport. Despite reassuring his fans he was still okay to fight in July, medical professionals have advised ‘Iron Mike’ to pull out of the fight and the pair are now working towards a rescheduled date in late 2024. Nonetheless, a number of fighters have since called out Paul to replace Tyson on the initial fight date and former four-weight world champion, Jones Jr, has also thrown his hat into the ring. “I’m kind of thinking about that,” Jones told Betway when asked if he would consider replacing Tyson. “I might try and get into shape in case that happens. Maybe I get myself in shape for that because I never thought about doing it before but with the situation of the fight (being postponed between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul). “I think that’s a great idea and I’ll be ready and in shape because if the fight doesn’t happen then the ideal guy to substitute in place of Mike Tyson to fight Jake Paul is something I have been thinking about. If the fight is out there then yes (I would take it).” Jones, of course, fought Tyson in an exhibition bout back in 2020 which ended in a draw and given Paul was willing to fight Tyson, who is 30 years his senior, Jones, who is two years younger than ‘Iron Mike’ feels he could be the perfect replacement. When asked how he would go about beating Paul, Jones added: “I haven’t thought about that because me being me, I only think about is being the best I can be and have never thought about that. Then I figure it out in the ring. “There was obviously the Tommy Fury thing that came up and then the other day somebody asked me whether I would fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in an exhibition and that’s crazy. “I would jump on it but now that this thing has came up, it makes sense to get into shape with Jake Paul and it would be one of the biggest fights of this decade.” For all the biggest results and upcoming fights this year, check out Dexerto’s 2024 boxing schedule.

Jake Paul called out by ex-NFL star after “laughable” win over Ryan Bourland – Dexerto
Jake Paul called out by ex-NFL star after “laughable” win over Ryan Bourland YouTube: BS w/ Jake PaulFormer NFL star Le’Veon Bell hit out at Jake Paul after his win over Ryan Bourland, calling on the YouTuber-turned-boxer to take on better competition. Since diving all the way in with boxing, Jake Paul has been no stranger to getting called out from all corners of the sporting world. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has dealt with his fair share of MMA fighters claiming they could beat him, as well as athletes from other sports looking to make their first move into the fighting world. Prior to his win over Ryan Bourland, where Jake delivered yet another first-round knockout, the ‘Problem Child’ was called out by current NFL star Tyreek Hill. The Miami Dolphins receiver stated that he’d fight Jake inside the boxing ring or inside the MMA cage – it didn’t matter to him. He’s not the first football star to target the YouTuber-turned-boxer, however, as former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell has also weighed in. Le’Veon Bell blasts Jake Paul over Ryan Bourland win That’s right, the three-time pro bowler has reignited his beef with Jake, urging the 27-year-old to start fighting some better standard of fighters. “Lol bra, this is laughable… I don’t even care if he decides to fight me or not, just fight somebody who actually knows how to defend themselves…,” the running back said, responding to a video of Jake’s stoppage. Fans quickly urged Bell to fight Jake, and he quickly turned that into a roast of his opponent. “Bourland don’t ever need to step in a boxing ring again.. after watching him fight, I’d never agree to fight him… lol he literally curled up in a corner, that’s what you do when you don’t know how to defend yourself… he doesn’t belong in the ring, EVER again… he sucks,” he added. Jake has already confirmed that he’ll return to the ring in late April. However, as is becoming common with his fighter, his opponent remains a mystery as of yet. It’s unlikely that he’ll fight Bell, seeing as he’s put his focus on ‘real boxers’ but the ex-NFL star clearly has some interest.

Jake Paul boxing video debunked as clip goes viral ahead of Mike Tyson fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul boxing video debunked as clip goes viral ahead of Mike Tyson fight YouTube: B/S w/ Jake PaulA video of Jake Paul seemingly getting knocked out in a sparring session has gone viral on social media, but all is not quite as it appears. The video, which has gone viral on X (formerly known as Twitter), shows a blonde man with ‘The Problem Child’s’ recognizable haircut and beard sparring with someone else. The person purportedly meant to be Paul is caught with a spinning backhanded punch, causing him to sway and nearly be knocked down. At first glance, you could be forgiven for mistaking the individual for Paul. But a second look shows that the victim of the near-knockout is certainly not the 9-1 professional boxer. The video in fact is from 2022, reportedly coming from Russia. The 27-year-old is busy gearing up for his bout against former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson on July 20. The pair’s boxing records on paper are worlds apart, but those expecting a one-sided fight from either fighter could be in for a surprise. Paul has previously demonstrated his ability to knockout his opponents inside the ring, doing so on six out of the nine times he has claimed victory. The power puncher is now looking to down Tyson and achieve his goal of fighting lineal super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez. The fight has proven to be a polarising match-up. Tyson Fury has insisted that the bout is “fantastic for boxing”, while Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, labeled it a “freak show“. Some of the biggest concerns regarding the fight are over the 30-year age gap between the pair, with concerns emerging over Tyson potentially suffering serious injury from the bout. Tyson’s trainer, Rafael Cordeiro, has dismissed fears concerning the boxing legend’s health, insisting that the 57-year-old is in great shape ahead of their fight, the first to be shown live on Netflix.

Jake Paul blasts Sean Strickland as he exposes DMs for $1m fight offer – Dexerto
Jake Paul blasts Sean Strickland as he exposes DMs for $1m fight offer Instagram/JakePaul/SeanStricklandJake Paul has exposed some of the messages between himself and Sean Strickland after the YouTuber-turned-boxer offered the former UFC champion $1 million for a sparring session that was shut down by the MMA organization. Since stepping into the world of combat sports, Jake Paul has engaged in a war of words with plenty of different fighters. Most recently, his main target has been Sean Strickland. Jake and the former UFC Middleweight champion have gone back and forth on social media, especially after Strickland bloodied streamer Sneako in their sparring session. That prompted the YouTuber-turned-boxer to offer the Middleweight a fight against him, even offering $1 million to make it happen. Strickland was down to make the fight happen, but claimed the UFC shut it down – a claim that has been disputed by Jake and Tyrone Woodley. So, Jake has gone all out and exposed the messages between himself and Strickland about the proposed clash. Jake Paul reveals DMs with Sean Strickland over $1m fight “It’s a typical story of these UFC guys who call me out and then go quiet,” the YouTuber-turned-boxer said on episode 40 of the BS with Jake Paul podcast before showing messages between himself and Strickland. In those messages, Jake offered to send him a private jet to join him in Puerto Rico for either a “spar or fight” and Strickland seemed happy with that. “Man, that is a big f**king paycheck, let me see what I can do,” the former UFC champion responded. Jake also questioned how Strickland was able to spar with Sneako but changed tack when offered a flight to fight him was put on the table. Timestamp of 1:03:20 That wasn’t all, however, as Jake also threw some digs at Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett for similarly ignoring his offer of a fight or sparring session. “Maybe Paddy Pimblett can finally stop running from my spar offer too and I’ll just get all of them – a two-for-one,” the ‘Problem Child’ added. It’s pretty unlikely that he’ll get to face off against either of them anytime soon, if ever, but Jake is still angling for something to happen.

Jake Paul backed for US Olympics boxing as he wants to win gold in 2028 – Dexerto
Jake Paul backed for US Olympics boxing as he wants to win gold in 2028 YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul has been backed to compete in boxing at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles by Michael Bisping. The former UFC star says it’d be “incredible” if Jake won a medal. Since getting into the world of professional boxing, Jake Paul has had a few plans. He wants to take on big-name fighters and, eventually, hold a world championship. On the latter, the WBA is “open” to seeing him fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. for a belt, but that may only happen after Jake fights Mike Tyson. However, the ‘Problem Child’ has also added a new goal to that – an Olympic medal. It was something he brought up following Team USA’s disappointing showing at Paris 2024. They failed to medal in any of the boxing weight classes. “I’m sick and tired of waiting around, waiting for another gold for Team USA,” he said, during an appearance on BS with Jake Paul. “I’m not retiring. I probably just added a couple more years onto my boxing career because of that, but Los Angeles, United States, sick as f**k.” Well, now the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s plan has been backed by former UFC star Michael Bisping. “You know what, I’ve actually got a lot of respect for (that idea). If he did go and fight in the Olympics, well first of all it wouldn’t be his promotion so he wouldn’t be able to cherry-pick opponents, he wouldn’t be able to take people that are way past their sell-by date like Mike Tyson, who is 58 years old,” Bisping said in his August 12 YouTube video. Timestamp of 2:50 ‘The Count’ added that he “wants” to see Jake take on opponents of a similar height and weight. “The last time Jake Paul fought someone his own size and weight, we know that he lost. I’m not here to s**t on Jake Paul, fair play to him, I hope he does go to the Olympics, that’s what I wanna see and I’d really respect him taking on real opposition and real challenges,” he added, referring to that loss to Tommy Fury. Bisping added that it would be “incredible” if Jake did win Olympic gold. However, it would be challenging as he’d be boxing every few days. Boxing may not yet even appear at the 2028 Olympics. So, we’ll have to wait and see.

Jake Paul backed against UFC champ after wild fight call out – Dexerto
Jake Paul backed against UFC champ after wild fight call out YouTube/DAZNJake Paul has been backed by a former UFC champion who believes in Jake’s abilities to fight current UFC champion Alex Pereira after his wild post-fight call out. After beating ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry on July 20, Jake Perry quickly set about calling out a few different names. Of course, he made mention of his rescheduled fight with ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson, but he also had a new name – Alex ‘Poatan’ Pereira. Jake even FaceTimed the UFC light heavyweight champion while basking in his win over Perry. Pereira, who is more renowned for his kickboxing skills, has posted some boxing workouts on social media since which has only been used to fuel speculation about the two mixing it up in a massive crossover. Well, former UFC champion Kamaru Usman believes that if the two did meet in the boxing ring, it wouldn’t exactly be an “unwinnable” fight for Jake. “I do believe Alex Pereira can win that fight, but I don’t think it’s an unwinnable fight for Jake Paul,” the Nigerian Nightmare said in his UFC 304 preview. “Jake Paul definitely showed some really good things there, being able to stick by the jab. When he was able to commit to the jab, the jab was working. Yes, I know Alex Pereira is very good at doing the thing that gave Mike Perry success in that fight, but Alex Pereira also holds his hands very low.” Timestamp of 9:40 The former UFC Welterweight champion added that Poatan has a “mean hook” but doesn’t have the head movement of a boxer. “It’s not constantly doing what a boxer’s head movement should be doing. So, I’m not completely counting Jake Paul out,” he added. Usman is also on the same page as Jake when it comes to believing that UFC boss Dana White would put a stop to the crossover fight. “I want all the smoke. But at the end of the day, will Dana let them out? That’s too big of a risk if I could embarrass his No. 1 prized fighter right now,” the ‘Problem Child’ said in his post-fight press conference.

Jake Paul answers ex-UFC champ fight callout as he’s open to MMA clash – Dexerto
Jake Paul answers ex-UFC champ fight callout as he’s open to MMA clash Screenshot: DAZN BoxingJake Paul has responded to a fight callout from former UFC champion Tony Ferguson, saying he’s open to taking the Lightweight on in MMA for his PFL debut. Even though he’s started eyeing up ‘real boxers’ who have dedicated their lives to the sweet science, Jake Paul still has plenty of beef with athletes from the UFC and other MMA promotions. This has increased further now that the ‘Problem Child’ has signed a deal with the PFL – Professional Fighters League – and is slated to make his debut at some point in 2024. His most recent beef has come with Tony Ferguson, after the former UFC Lightweight champion stated that he was ready to fight Jake at some point. Jake Paul responds to Tony Ferguson’s fight callout Ferguson, who is on a UFC record-tying streak of seven losses, said that he’d take Jake on in either the boxing ring or MMA cage, and that he was ready to be done with the UFC to make it happen. Well, after defeating Ryan Bourland with a first-round TKO, Jake finally gave El Cucuy a response. “Anyone (from the UFC) who can get out of their contract, I’ll fight. That’s easy work as far as I am concerned,” he said in his post-fight press conference. “I do want to do a PFL-MMA match, it just has to be the right opponent. But Nate did duck my $15 million offer so we’ll see who else is on the chopping block. Tony Ferguson? He said he wanted to fight.” The YouTuber-turned-boxer added that it would be “sad” for Ferguson to walk away from the sport on the back of a massive losing streak, and that he doesn’t “want” that to be the case. It remains to be seen if a fight between the pair comes to fruition, but it would tick the bill of a ‘big name’ for Jake’s long-awaited MMA debut.

Jake Paul and Ryan Garcia admit “faking beef” to “stir things up” – Dexerto
Jake Paul and Ryan Garcia admit “faking beef” to “stir things up” YouTube: BS w/ Jake PaulThe always-polarizing boxing star Ryan Garcia explained why his beef with Jake Paul isn’t what it seems on the surface. Garcia started the May 16 episode of BS w/ Jake Paul freestyle rapping before brutally trash-talking Paul’s co-host Jasper for much of the 62-minute episode. UFC champion Sean O’Malley even made a cameo after Garcia sent him a selfie earlier in the podcast. ‘Suga Sean’ called in via FaceTime, and the two engaged in a spirited back and forth. Paul, totally amused by Garcia, could not contain his laughter several times throughout the episode, which led to the question: Why are they so friendly if they were recently beefing? “Uh, we pretend beef,” Garcia revealed with a laugh before Paul chimed in: “Yeah, we text each other like, ‘Let’s stir some s**t up.’” “Nah, I deadass did,” ‘King Ryan’ claimed. “I mean, sometimes we would actually [argue] like brothers.” That final comment opened the door for a potential Garcia vs Paul fight to be discussed, with both men agreeing to do it — on one condition. After Garcia said that he would only accept the fight depending on the “bag,” the talk of a Netflix match came up, much like the one Paul will have with Mike Tyson on July 20. “Then, we gotta do what we gotta do,” Garcia said while dapping up Paul. “Yeah, we gotta turn it up,” ‘The Problem Child’ agreed. Their “fake beef” dates back three years, when the two came face-to-face in a video that looked anything but fake. Garcia quips that Paul “isn’t a professional fighter” multiple times. Another example of the alleged faux beef came earlier in 2024 when Garcia called out Paul for a fight, claiming the social media star was “disrespecting his sport.” But Paul has gotten his own shots in by shooting down Garcia’s previous callout for a boxing match, saying he’s a “better boxer” than the former interim WBC champion. For now, the two have seemingly buried the hatchet. But given the nature of their prior altercations, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the “fake beef” turn into the real thing. Whether or not Paul reigns supreme against Tyson, the prospects of a mega fight with Garcia, a 25-1 professional boxer, would be pretty enticing. To keep up to date with all of the latest boxing fights and results, follow our 2024 boxing schedule.

Jake Paul agrees Mike Perry rematch but it won’t be boxing – Dexerto
Jake Paul agrees Mike Perry rematch but it won’t be boxing Instagram/JakePaul/OverdogspodJake Paul has revealed that he and Mike Perry have agreed to a rematch, but it won’t happen inside the boxing ring. When Jake Paul announced that he’d be returning to the boxing ring to fight ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson, plenty of boxing fans and boxers were skeptical. The massive age difference between them was the biggest sticking point, never mind Tyson’s history in the ring. However, that fight was put on ice when the 58-year-old suffered an ulcer flare-up. Former UFC fighter and bare-knuckle expert ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry was drafted in as Tyson’s replacement but suffered at the hands of Jake. The YouTuber-turned-boxer not only scored a technical knockout win over the former UFC star, but he managed to knock him down three times too. Jake was ultimately good value for the win and quickly dispelled any claims it maybe have been “rigged.” Well, now the social media superstar has revealed that he and ‘Platinum’ Mike have agreed to a rematch. “Chopped it up with Mike Perry last night. What a stand-up dude. More confidence than most of these fighters. We agreed to run it in PFL when the time is right,” Jake tweeted on July 25. The YouTuber-turned-boxer was also quizzed on the possibility of stepping out of the boxing ring and joining the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship ranks. “If I’m stepping out of boxing, it’s going to be PFL. After that we can do Dirty Boxing,” he added. Jake penned a multi-year deal with the Professional Fighters League back in mid-2023, but has been “delayed” in making his debut due to his boxing commitments. PFL CEO Peter Murray is on board with Jake making offers to fighters for his debut and they’re still targeting an appearance before long. The YouTuber-turned-boxer is fighting Mike Tyson in mid-November, so maybe his focus will switch after that.

Jake Paul admits “ruthless” Mike Tyson could ’embarrass’ him despite massive age gap – Dexerto
Jake Paul admits “ruthless” Mike Tyson could ’embarrass’ him despite massive age gap YouTube: The Journey / IMPAULSIVEJake Paul has said he won’t ‘take it easy’ on Mike Tyson, as the YouTuber-turned-boxer believes ‘Iron’ Mike could very easily ‘embarrass’ him in their upcoming superfight. It’s been two months since Jake Paul and Mike Tyson announced that they would, finally, be fighting in July and the criticism around the fight hasn’t exactly died down. Plenty of boxing fans, pundits, and fighters have pointed to the 31-year age gap between the two fighters, with many being concerned that ‘Iron’ Mike is stepping back into the ring as a 57-year-old. With every Jake fight, there have been claims that the YouTuber-turned-boxer has a script for the match-up, and that it would be “rigged” in his favor – especially given that it’s going to be broadcast by Netflix. He has, again, played down those claims, especially given that the fight will be contested under professional rules. Jake has also admitted that he won’t ‘take it easy’ on the Heavyweight boxing icon, especially as he believes ‘Iron’ Mike could ‘embarrass’ him if given the chance. “Absolutely not because if he has the same opportunity you know damn well he is going to finish me in embarrassing fashion So, I have to reciprocate that same energy. But Mike Tyson is a killer. He’s ruthless,” the YouTuber-turned-boxer told TMZ Sports after being asked if he’d have any “hesitation” to knock him out. Timestamp of 4:40 “He’s the most vicious champion ever. So, I have to channel that Mike Tyson energy to finish him. And the legend must fall,” Jake added. The 27-year-old also noted that the fight is “wild” and “doesn’t make any sense” because of how big it’s become. He’s expecting the viewership to be in the “hundreds of millions,” too. That is a bold claim, but its what Jake has become known for. And, he’s typically backed things up in his boxing career.

Jake Paul admits family is concerned over “scary” Mike Tyson fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul admits family is concerned over “scary” Mike Tyson fight YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul has revealed that his mom is “very scared” of his fight with Mike Tyson as she doesn’t like the idea of them getting in the ring together, especially after seeing Tyson’s training clips. Back in March, when Jake Paul and Mike Tyson revealed that they would fight, the boxing world was split. Many critics – including some active and retired boxers – pointed to the massive age gap between the two fighters. The YouTuber-turned-boxer had to put that scheduled July clash on hold after Mike suffered an ulcer flare-up. He’s been back in training since, however, as the pair are gearing up to fight in mid-November. Those critics have continued to voice their concerns about the fight. Some former fighters have called it a “scam.” Others have claimed that they will never meet in the ring. According to Jake, his mom – Pam Stepnick – would prefer it if he didn’t go to war with ‘Iron’ Mike. “They (family) will definitely be there,” the social media star told reporters at a media scrum for PFL. “My mom is very scared actually. She keeps on asking me if I’m ready, asking my team if I’m if I’m ready and she’s not liking this one. Mike just looks scary and big. His Instagram videos look crazy. So she’s like watching all of that and just not liking it.” Despite his family being worried about his fight with Mike, Jake has been supremely confident in the build-up. He’s repeatedly said he believes he’ll win and do so in a fashion that will propel him onto other things. It has been suggested by the WBA that the 27-year-old could meet former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. for a title in the near future. Jake, however, still has a commitment to the PFL that he hasn’t fulfilled.

Jaime Munguia boxing record as former world champ looks to bounce back from Canelo loss – Dexerto
Jaime Munguia boxing record as former world champ looks to bounce back from Canelo loss Associated PressJaime Munguia is a rising phenomenon in the sport of boxing, having already won a world title at light-middleweight. The 27-year-old’s boxing career stretches over the course of 11 years, creating a resume that legitimizes his status as a top-five fighter now in the super-middleweight division. He recently lost to Canelo Alvarez in his bid to become the undisputed super-middleweight world champion but looks set to stay in the 168 pounds division. Here is a look back at some of the fights which have defined Munguia’s career so far. Contents: Alvaro Robles, 2016 – Jose Carlos Paz, 2017 – Sadam Ali, 2018 – Liam Smith, 2018 – Dennis Hogan, 2019 – Kamil Szeremeta, 2019 – Sergiy Derevyanchenko, 2023 – John Ryder, 2024 – Canelo Alvarez, 2024 – Jaime Munguia boxing record – Alvaro Robles, 2016 Alvaro Robles was Munguia’s first major test as a professional. Robles was a former WBC FECARBOX welterweight champion. However, Munguia looked like the more established veteran in the contest, as the Mexican towered above his fellow countryman and made the most of his reach advantage. The then-20-year-old Munguia scored a fifth-round TKO over Robles. This win capped off a 2016 run that saw him defeat two other experienced rivals along the way. Munguia had spent his first 18 fights competing in three weight classes and certainly made his mark in his first bout at 160 pounds. Jose Carlos Paz, 2017 Munguia’s next challenge came when he contended for the vacant WBC Latino super welterweight belt against Jose Carlos Paz in 2017. He improved to 27-0 with a resounding third-round knockout. The KO was his 21st in 27 fights up until that point. He was steadily earning a reputation as a power puncher that could put fighters away early. He had only gone past the fifth round in one fight up until his big win over Paz. Sadam Ali, 2018 At 28-0, it was time for Munguia to get a shot at a world title. He took on Sadam Ali for the WBO light middleweight crown in 2017. Ali had claimed the title in a win over boxing great Miguel Cotto in his previous fight, making him a serious threat to ‘Tatanka’. But it was Munguia’s power that did the talking for him when things got underway. A brutal left hook forced Ali to take a knee just one minute into the fight. Another left hook stunned Ali in round two and a couple more did the trick, ending the fight after three rounds. He made the reigning champ look anything but, and began a world championship reign that would last 16 months. Liam Smith, 2018 Liam Smith lost his WBO light-middleweight title to Canelo Alvarez in September of 2017 and was out to reclaim the belt from it’s newest holder at the time – Munguia. Smith gave Munguia a challenge in the opening round, but soon tapered off. The Brit’s early precision soon became obsolete as the then- picked up steam thanks to the then-21-year-old’s devastating hooks and crosses. He forced Smith to protect himself, but to no avail. Munguia would go on to win a convincing unanimous decision and successfully defend his world championship at 154 pounds for the first time. Dennis Hogan, 2019 By this stage in his career, Munguia was Golden Boy Promotions’ newest signee, helping to magnify his name in the boxing world. When it was time to fight Dennis Hogan, he fought at a slower pace than usual. No matter, the Tijuana native put a defensive exhibition on display, staying light on his feet with a great retreat. Hogan did a good job defensively in making him whiff on punches. Things intensified starting in the fifth round. Both fighters picked their spots and gradually found more openings upstairs. Munguia ultimately did more to win over the judges on the scorecards as this marked his fourth defense of his WBO title at 154 pounds. Kamil Szeremeta, 2019 Munguia fought in front of a predominantly Mexican fanbase in El Paso, Texas for his match against Kamil Szeremeta in 2019. When asked what kind of fight his compatriots could expect to see, the reigning WBO Intercontinental middleweight title holder proclaimed that he was “looking for a knockout.” Munguia displayed another element to his repertoire, landing crisp combinations throughout the match. Szeremeta found early success with his jab and straight rights but Munguia outclassed him as the more technically sound boxer. The fight got stopped after the sixth round, giving him his first RTD (corner retirement) victory. Sergiy Derevyanchenko, 2023 Munguia’s brawl with Sergio Derevyanchenko was widely recognized as the 2023 Fight of the Year, and for good reason. They traded the first handful of rounds before Munguia got battered on the ropes midway through. The tide turned when the 27-year-old showed great resilience in the championship rounds. Both fighters gave the fans a thrilling slugfest from start to finish, but Munguia came away with the vacant WBC Silver super middleweight championship as a result of the narrow unanimous decision win. John Ryder, 2024 Munguia delivered a masterful performance in his most recent fight against John Ryder, as he took on legendary Freddie Roach as his trainer for the bout. He was quicker to the punch, more aggressive and graceful with both his footwork and utilization of ring space. Munguia knocked Ryder down in round two with a big hook to the body and later let his hands loose en route to a dominant ninth-round TKO. He successfully defended his WBC Silver super middleweight title for the second time and picked up his 43rd career win. Canelo Alvarez, 2024 Munguia faced the biggest test of his credentials when he took on four-weight world champion Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas. He went toe to toe with his compatriot but ultimately fell short in a unanimous decision loss, which saw Munguia floored in the fourth round. Jaime Munguia boxing record Overall, Munguia’s boxing record stands at 43-1, including 34 knockouts. The former light-middleweight world champion looks set to stay at super-middleweight and bid to become a two-weight world champion in the future.

Internet divided as boxing coach lets kids beat each other to a pulp – Dexerto
Internet divided as boxing coach lets kids beat each other to a pulp X/HRamirezBoxingA boxing coach in California has left the internet divided after posing a video of two kids with bloody faces from an intense sparring session. Combat sports have taken the world by storm and seem more popular than ever with MMA, boxing, and pro-wrestling more available than ever. As such, it’s not uncommon to see kids try their luck and get involved themselves, but one coach has set the internet ablaze for letting two ten-year-olds go to war in the ring. In a tweet on X, boxing coach Henry Ramirez uploaded a video of two bloody kids smiling after fighting each other, revealing he had posted it on another platform and received loads of backlash – something he may have not expected to see continue on X. Bloody ten-year-olds sparks boxing controversy In the clip, Ramirez can be heard praising the two kids who just had an intense sparring session that left them both dripping in blood. “A little blood never hurt anybody,” he said. “People are gonna think we’re abusing kids over here. Good work, boys.” However, the internet was quick to react with many users praising the coach while others felt he shouldn’t have let them fight to that point. “It’s cool you are promoting boxing for the youth. But this early this kind of sparring is not conducive to their learning of techniques and the sport. Not to mention you are starting hard sparring at an early age,” one criticized. Its cool you are promoting boxing for the youth. But this early this kind of sparring is not conducive to their learning of techniques and the sport. Not to mention you are starting hard sparring at an early age. All this accumulates over time. — MMABoxingFutbolMex (@BoxingMex) February 15, 2024 “I don’t believe in head shots for kids until they are an age to decide whether or not they understand and accept the risks that comes with the sport,” another chimed in. “You are a genuinely bad person and it’s important that you hear that every day until you realize it,” someone else blasted. As others voiced concerns about the two children getting brain damage for fighting so hard, some defended the coach. One supporter remarked: “Look at them kids! Bleeding like that and smiling…I love to see it.” Look at them kids! Bleeding like that and smiling….I love to see it. Gonna guess they’re training for a national tournament? Feel bad for the poor kid who tries taking their lunch money in school. — StogieHoagie (@Southpawko11) February 15, 2024 “Love it, bro,” praised another coach. For his part, Ramirez has been defending letting the kids fight until they’re bloody, explaining that the two have 22 fights between them and are training for a national tournament. Ramirez even claims that a woman had planned on reporting him for child abuse, but it’s unclear if he’s facing any sort of legal battle just yet.

Influencer boxing pound for pound rankings as Jake Paul & KSI dominate – Dexerto
Influencer boxing pound for pound rankings as Jake Paul & KSI dominate Associated PressThe fact that influencer boxing has its own pound for pound rankings is a testament to its growth as both a sport and a business. But only one fighter can come out on top, and with the likes of Jake Paul, KSI and Salt Papi all competing to be the very best, it is a very competitive list. Influencer boxing has taken off in the past five years. What was once dismissed as just another attempt to create more content, has become a beast of its own with millions tuning in worldwide to catch the latest fight. Professional fighters – be it MMA, boxing or otherwise – have been discounted from the list for the sake of fairness, but there are a few big names included in our honorable mentions. With that in mind, we have taken a look at the best influencers making waves on the boxing scene and put them in our very own pound for pound rankings. Pound for pound influencer boxing rankings 10. Walid Sharks (3-2-1) Walid Sharks caused people to sit up and notice his boxing talent at the age of just 17 during his first ever fight. Taking on the much heavier Adam Saleh, he boxed his way to a majority draw – a result that many onlookers believe the TikTok star should have won. Two defeats to Deen the Great (more on him later) stain his boxing record, but wins over Ayye Pap (twice) and Darius Frazier have shown the knockout power he has at his disposal. 9. Deji (2-4-0) Deji, younger brother of KSI, is without doubt a talented boxer. His record might suggest otherwise, but anyone who can go six rounds with Floyd Mayweather Jr is worthy of a spot in this list. His two victories over Swarmz and Fousey prop up an otherwise lackluster record, but if he can manage to best a big name or two in the near future there is no doubt he will find himself in the conversation to be higher up the order. 8. Ashley Rak-Su (3-1-1) Anyone brave enough to take on a professional boxer in their debut fight has my respect. Although he lost, Rak-Su deserves a commendation for taking on someone like Anthony Taylor straight off the bat. Three wins on the spin would follow, as Big Tobz, King Kenny and Halal Ham were brushed to one side. A draw with OJ Rose in his last fight brought that momentum to a halt, but there is no denying his talent inside the ring. 7. King Kenny (5-3-0) If we are talking about pure technique, it is hard not to throw King Kenny’s name into the mix. Despite having a loss to Rak-Su (a split decision defeat) on his record, he edges ahead of him due to his raw talent as a fighter. Yet his victory over Adam Brooks at Misfits X Series 14 reminded the word of the threat he poses, as a possible fight with Salt Papi now seems likely for the 27-year-old. 6. Salt Papi (4-2-0) Salt Papi has risen up the ranks of the influencer boxing scene, with knockouts against the likes of Andy Warski and Josh Brueckner along the way. He suffered back-to-back defeats against Anthony Taylor and Slim Albaher, but bounced back with victory over Amadeusz Ferrari at Misfits 14. Salt is technically one of the best fighters on this list, but needs a big name victory under his belt to move higher up the list. 5. AnEsonGib (6-1-0) Having beaten every opponent he has faced aside from Jake Paul, it is hard not to include AnEsonGib in the top five. Gib’s progression as a boxer is clear to see, as he has transformed into a lean, mean, fighting machine with a relentless attitude to try and dominate his opponents in the ring. He has come a long way since his defeat to Paul and has proven that with six wins under his belt so far. He would give almost every fighter on this list a run for their money. 4. Slim Albaher (7-0-0) Slim’s knockout victory over Salt Papi proved that he is a serious boxer. Without a single defeat to his name, that seemed to all be about to change as he found himself under serious pressure against Salt. But the 29-year-old stunned the crowd in the fourth round with sensational knockout to defy the odds and claim the win on the night. Regardless of who he fights next, Slim has made a name for himself in the influencer boxing scene. 3. Deen the Great (5-0-0) Although he might have flied under the radar to the casual viewer, Deen the Great has proven himself worthy of a top three spot in the pound for pound rankings. A versatile fighter who is not afraid to adapt to his opponent, Deen has yet to be bested inside the ring. Two victories over the technically sound Walid Sharks have helped him build his reputation as one of the best influencer boxers on the scene. 2. KSI (5-1-1) It is hard to write an influencer boxing pound for pound ranking list without mentioning KSI and Jake Paul, the only question is in which order do you put them. For me, KSI just slips into second behind Paul due to the calibre of their opponents. ‘The Nightmare’s’ only defeat came at the hands of Tommy Fury, a fight that many believed he should have won, while a draw with Logan Paul would be the only other time he would fail to win a boxing match. KSI would avenge that decision over a year later by securing a split-decision win over Paul, but the Godfather of influencer boxing comes in second overall. A win in an eventual fight with Paul, or in a rematch with Fury, would certainly see him rise up the rankings. 1. Jake Paul (9-1-0) Love him or hate him, Paul is, for my money, the best boxer on this list by some distance. And that is mainly in part due to his dedication and commitment to the sport, so much so that it is easy to forget sometimes that he is actually a social media star by trade. Yes a lot of his opponents have been past their prime (no pun intended) and he has been called out for “buying scalps“, but you don’t get a to a 9-1-0 record by chance. With six knockouts to his name, Paul’s punching power is frightening. It is telling that only a split-decision loss to Fury has stopped him from making it a clean sweep across the influencer scene. A win over Mike Tyson in his next fight would reaffirm his place at the top of the rankings Honorable Mentions Tommy Fury – The family name known around the boxing world. Fury would top this list if he were not a professional boxer by trade. On the two occasions he has stepped into the crossover scene he has got the job done. Idris Virgo – Another former Love Islander, but Virgo, like Fury, grew up as a professional boxer. It would be unfair to rank him alongside the likes of Salt Papi and Slim, but his 14-0 record speaks for itself.

Hulk Hogan worries Jake Paul will “kill” Mike Tyson in November boxing match – Dexerto
Hulk Hogan worries Jake Paul will “kill” Mike Tyson in November boxing match YouTube: IMPAULSIVEPro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan made it known that he favors Jake Paul in his upcoming boxing match against Mike Tyson, saying the YouTube star is “too strong” for his aging opponent. Jake Paul is gearing up to face one of his most prolific opponents yet in ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson. The two are set to touch gloves in November 2024, and Jake is already in training camp to prepare for the match. While Tyson boasts many years of experience in the ring, Paul has youth on his side. Opinion has been highly mixed as to who will come out on top – especially since their fight got postponed after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up earlier this year. During a September 3 episode of Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast, special guest Hulk Hogan commented on the upcoming bout, making it clear that he’s backing ‘The Problem Child’ when fight night comes. However, he also admitted that he’s worried for Tyson, claiming that he fears Jake might deal too much damage to his 58-year-old opponent. “Your brother’s too strong, bro,” Hogan said. “He’s really, actually, super f*cking strong,” Logan agreed. “…the weight he pushes in the gym is impressive.” “Yeah,” Hogan replied. “Last night, as soon as I saw him… I went, ‘Oh my god.’ I mean, really. He was scary.” “I love Mike to death,” he continued. “I don’t want him to kill Mike, Jesus.” (Topic begins at 1:06) Despite the concerns surrounding Tyson’s health after his ulcer flare-up, Jake is completely confident that his rival is in perfect health. In fact, he’s refusing to draft a backup fighter in the event of another cancellation, putting his full faith that Tyson will be able and healthy come fight night. On top of this, Tyson’s former sparring partner, Joe Egan, claimed that it’s likely Mike will hold back to avoid “seriously hurting” Jake. For now, it’s anyone’s guess as to who will come out on top as fans count down to November 15.

The Ukrainian star went down after a Dubois body shot was deemed to be below the belt, although replays weren’t conclusive. His opponent’s camp felt it was a legitimate stoppage and their charge should have been crowned world champion.

British YouTube star KSI is once again making waves in the influencer-boxing scene as he returns to the ring in an unexpected 1-vs-2 tag-team match. Following his hotly-contested fight with Tommy Fury, KSI is now slated to face off against fellow influencer-boxer Slim Albaher and MMA vet Anthony Taylor after calling the two out in early June. When is KSI vs Slim Albaher & Anthony Taylor? KSI vs Slim Albaher & Anthony Taylor will take place on August 31 at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. This marks the main event for Misfits x DAZN Series 17, which is also in partnership with streaming platform Kick. Where to watch KSI vs Slim Albaher & Anthony Taylor Fans can tune into this tag-team bout on DAZN PPV, but they’ll need a subscription to catch the action live. Viewers can snag a $19.99 per month subscription in the US. For fans across the pond, it’ll cost £9.99 to watch live in the UK. Of course, those wanting a front-row seat to the bout can purchase tickets to the 3Arena for fight night, which have seats starting at €20.00 each ($21 USD). Who is fighting on the Misfits x DAZN Series 17 card? Main Event: KSI vs Slim Albaher & Anthony Taylor – DTG vs Minikon – Jake Cornish vs Mike Edwards – Gabriel Silva vs Wedi – Sami Hamed vs Jesse Clarke – Ben Williams vs Warren Spencer – Deen the Great vs Dave Fogarty – Danny Aarons vs Beavo – This news comes after an explosive press conference held on July 1, 2024, where KSI claimed he’ll “breeze through” Slim before taking on Taylor, who he says will be “a bit more difficult.” “AT is the guy who’s hard to hit clean,” KSI said. “He’s a bit of a messy fighter, he loves a clinch. I think I’ll just have to work him down and just do my thing.” Slim, for his part, has vowed to KO KSI on August 31— something that KSI clearly thinks won’t happen. The fighters met for a face-off where Slim claimed he wanted to fight “right now.” Although they were separated by chain-link cages and a glass panel, that didn’t stop them from exchanging fighting words. Confirmation of the bout comes nearly a month after KSI openly challenged the two boxers in a YouTube video. “I want to fight. I am here to fight. I want to challenge myself. So I’m going to fight a person who has been on my case for ages. So I will be fighting Slim and Anthony Taylor in a 2v1 handicap tag-team match,” he said. This isn’t KSI’s first time taking on two fighters in one night. The YouTuber famously took on British rapper Swarmz and pro boxer Luis Pineda on the same card in August 2022 — both matches that he won by KO.

But, in Tyson, this is the first time he has fought a former boxing world champion and Paul will be keen to prove he can mix it in the ring with a boxer after his defeat to Tommy Fury last year. Despite the 30-year age difference between the pair, the fight has captured the imagination of boxing fans, even if some observers are worried about Tyson putting on the gloves again. There was concern on May 26, after Tyson took ill on a flight from Miami to Los Angeles, but a statement from his representatives has confirmed “Iron Mike” is “feeling great” ahead of his fight with Paul.

Jake Paul KO’s Mike Perry: Fight results, highlights, more – Dexerto
Jake Paul KO’s Mike Perry: Fight results, highlights, more X/JakePaulJake Paul has officially returned to the ring, taking on former UFC fighter Mike Perry on July 20, 2024. Influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul was originally set to take on boxing legend Mike Tyson, but ‘Iron Mike’ had to postpone his long-anticipated return after suffering an ulcer flare-up. Not wanting to wait until November, Paul instead decided to pencil in another match for July 20, facing off against Mike Perry instead. Perry had been tearing it up in the BKFC with a 5-0 record, but ultimately couldn’t hold his own against ‘The Problem Child.’ According to Jake, the outcome of this fight could have had an impact on his upcoming match against Mike Tyson if he lost to Perry. However, he pulled through and ended the former UFC fighter’s winning streak. With the event now done and dusted, here’s everything you need to know about Jake Paul vs Mike Perry. Jake Paul vs Mike Perry With a “memorable” entrance, Paul returned to the ring with a weight advantage at 200 lb, coming in 3.4 lb heavier than Perry (96.6 lb). After promising a “first-round KO”, Paul came in swinging and was able to quickly make contact with multiple body and head shots as Perry left himself exposed, causing a knockdown. However, no knockout meant the match continued and Paul’s promise was left unfulfilled. Round two saw a “perfectly placed” right hand as Paul’s punches continued to make contact, Perry stumbling to his knees. Perry was left with a “busted” and bloody right eye, unable to properly hold his defense against the younger boxer. Perry took on a more offensive role in round three, with both men taking hits and ending up cut. Before the timer rang, Paul struggled to see through his left eye due to the blood following a headshot. In round four, Paul corned Perry in the ring and hit some “powerful” jabs, making it past Perry’s defense once more and leaving the former UFC star bloodied with a series of headshots. After being cleared by a doctor, Perry was able to continue into round five. Perry continued to take hits in round five with jabs and overhand right, with the referee several times checking to ensure the fight could continue. Finally, round six saw Perry knocked down for a third time after Paul destabilized him and hit him with a series of shots. In the end, Paul won by a technical knockout and took home the crown as the match’s winner.

How much money is Jake Paul making for Mike Tyson fight? – Dexerto
How much money is Jake Paul making for Mike Tyson fight? YouTube/DAZNJake Paul has revealed how much he’s making for his rescheduled fight with Mike Tyson, but fans aren’t sure he’ll get his full payday. When Jake Paul and Mike Tyson first announced that they would be fighting, plenty of boxers, boxing fans, and pundits were skeptical. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has an impressive record under his belt, but ‘Iron’ Mike is one of boxing’s greats at the end of the day. On top of that, many pointed to the age gap being the other big issue. Tyson is 58-years-old, while Jake is barely 27-years-old. The age difference came into play when the heavyweight boxing legend suffered an ulcer flare-up during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles, and had to pull out of the July clash. The fight has since been rescheduled for mid-November, and the pair have started to ramp the hype back up. And, in amongst that, Jake has revealed what he’ll be getting paid to fight ‘Iron’ Mike. “I’m here to make $40 million and knock out a legend. I don’t give a fuck about anything else,” he said during his pre-fight press conference. “He’s the one that wanted it to be a pro fight, so, he’s going to get his ass knocked out real, on a real record. I’m not here to do shit besides make a bag.” That claim has been disputed by a few critics who believe that Jake isn’t in for the win he expects. “Highly unlikely,” one said. “If no one pays for this nonsense it won’t be that much will it,” another added. When the pair were initially flirting with the idea of fighting, it was suggested they could make $300 million for the clash. That, obviously, isn’t happening. There are also fears that Tyson won’t make it to November and that Jake has a backup option in Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Has Gennady Golovkin retired? What has happened to ex-world champion – Dexerto
Has Gennady Golovkin retired? What has happened to ex-world champion Associated PressGennady Golovkin will go down as one of the most destructive middleweight world champions in boxing history. From 2010 until 2018, Golovkin was arguably the most feared world champion in the sport, with a devastating knockout ratio helping him win the WBC, WBA and IBF world titles. He was eventually relieved of his titles in a contentious majority decision defeat to Canelo Alvarez in September 2018, having previously drawn with the Mexican fighter. Golovkin went on to regain the WBA and IBF middleweight world titles between 2019 and 2022 before stepping up to super-middleweight to challenge Canelo for a third time in his bid to become a two-weight world champion. Alvarez won the fight via unanimous decision and Golovkin has not been seen in the boxing ring since that loss in September 2022. Contents Has Gennady Golovkin retired from boxing? – How many fights does Golovkin have left on his DAZN deal? – What is Gennady Golovkin’s boxing record? – What is Gennady Golovkin’s net worth? – Has Gennady Golovkin retired from boxing? Golovkin has not officially announced his retirement from boxing. However, the Kazakh fighter has not fought for almost two years and has dropped out of the top 15 in the world rankings of all four governing bodies at both middleweight and super-middleweight. “Triple G” was stripped of his IBF and WBA middleweight world titles last year after he declined to face mandatory challengers Esquiva Falcao and Erislandy Lara respectively. Golovkin turns 42 in April and recently accepted a role as president of Kazakhstan’s national Olympic committee, which hints that he is looking at life beyond the ring. “I would like to express my sincere gratitude for everyone for all those warm wishes I am receiving all day on my election as NOC Kazakhstan President,” Golovkin said earlier this year. “I am more than happy to represent my country in the global Olympic Movement.” How many fights does Golovkin have left on his DAZN deal? Golovkin signed a six fight deal with DAZN in 2019, worth $100 million. He has fought five times since penning that deal so still has one fight remaining on his contract with the broadcaster. Speaking about Golovkin’s future in boxing, promoter Eddie Hearn told Boxing Scene: “I haven’t talked to him in much depth about his career. But the impression that I get is that he definitely wants to continue fighting. “I think at 168, he was 160 for a long time. I think part of Gennady Golovkin is like ‘look, I don’t want to fight Falcao, I don’t want to fight Lara, so I don’t need the belts. My name carries enough value.’” What is Gennady Golovkin’s boxing record? Golovkin’s record currently reads at 42 wins (37 by way of knockout), one draw and two losses – both to Canelo Alvarez. He holds notable wins over former world champions Daniel Geale, Kell Brook, Daniel Jacobs and Ryoto Murata. What is Gennady Golovkin’s net worth? According to Forbes in 2019, Golovkin was said to have earned $25.5m during his career but his deal with DAZN will accentuate that figure. He had endorsement deals with Nike’s Jordan Brand, Hublot, Tecate and Chivas Regal.

Gervonta Davis speaks out after Devin Haney sparring video leaked – Dexerto
Gervonta Davis speaks out after Devin Haney sparring video leaked YouTube/Ryan GarciaGervonta Davis has hit back at Shakur Stevenson after Stevenson commented on the leaked video of Davis’ sparring session with Devin Haney. Haney, now 25, was a teenager when he faced ‘Tank’, four years his senior, in a sparring session several years ago. The session had been spoken about publicly in recent years by some of the people who were present to witness it, including Adrien Broner and Floyd Mayweather Snr, but until now no footage had been publicly available. Ryan Garcia leaked clip on YouTube That changed when Ryan Garcia uploaded a 103-second clip of the session to YouTube, which appeared to show Davis dominating Haney in the ring. Haney had previously claimed to have “beaten the s***” out of Davis, and responded to the leaked video by accusing Garcia’s team of cropping the video to make it reflect badly on him. Haney wrote on X: “Never did they post a chopped up edited video.. 16 years old & in there holding my own. We bet AB pops & he honored it & paid! Ryan we watched u quit we are not the same & never will be tune in April 20th I’ll show it!” Lightweight world champion Stevenson, who Davis called out for a fight last year, commented on the video: “Never in my life have I taken a beating like that by any fighter, good lord.” Davis, in a now-deleted tweet, responded to Stevenson, writing: “You know what’s up too.” Davis and Haney are both undefeated in their professional careers and a meeting between the pair will be on the cards if they each win their next fights against Frank Martin and Garcia respectively.

Gervonta Davis’ possible next opponent gets brutally blunt warning from Carl Froch – Dexerto
Gervonta Davis’ possible next opponent gets brutally blunt warning from Carl Froch SHOWTIME PPVConor Benn has been told he’s jumping the gun by targeting a fight with Gervonta Davis. Benn and Davis have been trash-talking each other on social media since Benn’s unanimous points victory over Peter Dobson at the beginning of the month. Despite the pair naturally being a couple of weight classes apart, the heavier Benn confirmed last week that an offer had been submitted to Davis. “I know a serious offer’s been made, let’s see if he’s all talk,” Benn said. “The talking’s done. Don’t pipe up and start running your mouth on Twitter and then not sign the contract.” British boxing legend Carl Froch, however, has cautioned Benn against getting in the ring with ‘Tank’. “I’m interested in the Gervonta Davis fight,” Froch told Instant Casino. “He’s the road killer from Baltimore and half of his friends are either dead or in prison. He’s one tough motherf*****, like a real hard man and he’s a weight division below Conor Benn. But I don’t think that’s a fight Conor Benn should be calling out. I just think Conor just needs to take his time a little bit. “I know he’s desperate to fight and he wants to become a world champion, but you can’t jump in with these guys. You need a stepping stone. Conor Benn has done what he’s done but he’s had an almost a two-year break and now he’s calling out road killers. He can’t just be jumping in with these guys. He’s not ready. He needs to just build himself back up and get his licence back first obviously.”

George Kambosos Jr boxing record: Major fights, opponents and results so far – Dexerto
George Kambosos Jr boxing record: Major fights, opponents and results so far Associated PressGeorge Kambosos Jr was floored by Vasiliy Lomachenko in his last fight after the Australian was hit with a flurry of punches in the 11th round to bring the contest to a halt. Here’s a look at the Aussie boxing star’s record in full after his latest bout. Ukrainian great Lomachenko (18-3, 12 KOs) proved to be too much to handle for the man six years his junior. Having controlled the fight from the beginning, the 36-year-old showed his skill in the championship rounds to win the IBF lightweight title. After the bout, we’ve taken a look at ‘Ferocious’ Kambosos’ biggest fights and his overall boxing record. Contents Teofimo Lopez, 2021 Kambosos sent shockwaves around the boxing world when he produced the fight of his life to beat Lopez and become the unified world lightweight champion. The then-28-year-old won by split decision to claim the WBA, WBO, and IBF belts against a man who had promised to knock his opponent out in the first round. Yet it was Lopez who hit the canvas in the opening minutes, before he roared back into the fight, eventually getting his revenge on the Aussie with a knockdown of his own in the 10th. Yet it was not enough to win over the judges, as ‘Ferocious’ then set his sights on something bigger. Devin Haney 1, 2022 There are very few boxing fans who – perhaps prior to his shock defeat to Ryan Garcia – would not have named Devin Haney as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport. Kambosos entered into the fight without a defeat to his name, but soon found out why ‘The Dream’ was held in such high regard. Haney put on a clinic to box his way to a unanimous decision victory over Kambosos, fighting behind his jab and disrupting the rhythm of the Australian. Yet ‘Ferocious’ would not take the defeat lying down, as he looked for revenge four months later. Devin Haney 2, 2022 A rematch between Haney and Kambosos would – unfortunately for the latter – follow a very similar pattern from their first fight. Another unanimous decision victory from the judges came after a second Haney masterclass just four months after his first. The American’s left jab wore Kambosos down, while Haney lined up a series of powerful right-hand blows that left his opponent bloody and bruised. The Australian was hailed as a “warrrior” by Haney after the defeat, who tasted defeat for just the second time in his professional career. Vasiliy Lomachenko, 2024 His latest fight saw him take on Lomachenko in front of a roaring home crowd in Perth, Western Australia. Sadly the home favorite did not get the result he would have hoped for, as a flurry of punches in the 11th round saw his corner throw in the towel to hand the Ukrainian the IBF lightweight title. The four-time world champion – across three different weight divisions – proved to be the superior fighter as he controlled the contest from the start before smelling blood late on. The Aussie was hit with a devastating left hook in the eighth round that caused blood to pour from near his right eye. Kambosos was then dropped in the 11th, and despite beating the count, the oncoming barrage meant his team had to take action on the fighter’s behalf. George Kambosos Jr boxing record Overall, George Kambosos Jr’s boxing record stands at 21-3 with 10 KO victories to his name. Aside from the Lopez and Haney fights, his wins against Lee Selby and Maxi Hughes also need to be included as honorable mentions. His split-decision win over Selby gave him his shot at Lopez – and boy did he take it – while Kambosos’ victory over Hughes was shrouded in controversy over what many saw as some questionable scorecards from the judges.
