Jake Paul hits back at RiceGum during ACE Family charity basketball event RiceGum / Jake PaulPopular YouTuber Jake Paul took it upon himself to be the thorn in Bryan ‘RiceGum’ Le’s side at the ACE Family charity event on January 11 that only seemed to create more tension between the two broadcasters. The gym was abuzz with internet celebrities who came to compete for $100,000 to the charity of their choice by hitting 10 three-pointers in a row, but Jake Paul had another game to play during while in the gym. Although the event was filled with huge YouTuber names, it seems like rivals RiceGum and Jake Paul were all eyes for each other as the two took numerous digs at each other. In a segment Paul called “Annoying RiceGum,” the streamer starts out with the immensely awkward topic of RiceGum’s new girlfriend, Instagram model Abby Rao who had rated Paul’s personality as a “9.5 because [of what she knew of him] he was very funny.” Prior to even arriving at the event, Paul made it clear that he was going to hone in on the topic of Rao given that she had appeared in one of his videos in the past. Throughout the event itself, Paul was a constant feature in RiceGum’s day, having been seated at the number two position to RiceGum’s number one seat. Paul continued to pester the YouTuber in as many ways as Paul could get away with by insisting he carb up with a mouthful of pizza before the shootout, constantly interrupting RiceGum as he was vlogging, and trying to incite a reaction from Rice while aiming some verbal jabs seemingly at no one. Paul did manage to get something of a reaction out of the YouTuber with a censored middle-finger salute aimed at Paul before it was RiceGum’s turn to take the stage. RiceGum returned some of the heat in his video of the charity event, making subtle comments as to why he was seated next to Paul as it’s no secret that the two have been in contention for quite some time. All of the YouTubers who partook in the competition failed to take home the prize, instead, the prize was earned by former Baylor University point guard Austin Mills.

Jake Paul hits back at “rigged” Anderson Silva fight claims – Dexerto
Jake Paul hits back at “rigged” Anderson Silva fight claims YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul has hit back at claims this his win over Anderson Silva was “rigged” after he scored a last-round knockdown over the UFC legend. Since getting into the world of boxing, Jake Paul has had his fair share of critics. Many have criticized his skills, others have questioned who he’s taken on as opponents, while others have made some more outlandish claims. When the ‘Problem Child’ defeated Tyron Woodley for a second time, some viewers suggested it was a rigged result and that Woodley had taken a dive. Why? Well, their evidence was that the pair telegraphed the punch that Jake delivered to score the knockout. Obviously, that wasn’t true. Following his win over Anderson Silva, the YouTuber-turned-boxer has faced more match-fixing claims. While he won the fight via the scorecards, some viewers suggested that Anderson had gone down a bit too easy in the final round after a body shot from Jake. Jake Paul responds to claims Anderson Silva fight was “rigged” Jake appeared on the October 31 episode of The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani to discuss the win and, naturally, responded to those wild claims. “I think smart people with intelligence are giving me props and respect,” Jake said about the win, claiming he’d had messages from boxers and MMA fighters following his performance. “There are the people who will always be there in my career who are discrediting it. Now, they’re saying it was rigged. It went from, ‘Jake’s going to get knocked out by Anderson,’ to, ‘Oh, that was rigged.’ “I lose faith in my generation and my peers, and us as a society and a world when I see that type of stuff and that type of stupidity,” he continued. “It just sucks. It sucks because I worked so hard for this. I dedicate everything, sacrifice everything, every single day, bust my balls, have a 15-person team working around the clock to help me become the best boxer possible, and when I do something like beating Anderson Silva, they try to take it away from me. But I know deep down, and I guess that’s all that really matters.” Timestamp of 7:23 As noted, it’s not the first time these claims have been thrown Jake’s way, and if they were even remotely true, no commission would sanction his fights or give him a license. In terms of who he might fight next, that elusive clash with Tommy Fury remains a possibility, and so does a bout with Nate Diaz. So, we’ll have to wait and see.

Jake Paul hits back at Nate Diaz’s claim he’s on steroids for long-awaited fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul hits back at Nate Diaz’s claim he’s on steroids for long-awaited fight YouTube: Jake Paul/ID BoxingJake Paul has hit back at Nate Diaz’s claim that he is using steroids in the build-up to their long-awaited fight, offering him the chance for a longer bout. As Jake Paul and his brother Logan have made waves in the world of boxing over the last few years, there have been a number of skeptics and plenty of criticism thrown their way. One of the biggest and routinely used claims is that the pair have used performance-enhancing drugs like steroids in the build-up to fights. The pair of them have downplayed those claims, even offering opponents the option to add rigorous drug testing schedules for their fights. As Jake prepares to fight Nate Diaz on August 5, the former UFC star has joined those in claiming that the YouTuber-turned-boxer isn’t all-natural. Though, Jake has also hit back at that too. Jake Paul & Nate Diaz trade blows over steroid claims for fight The pair traded jibes at the end of April, with Nate putting out a simple tweet about the length of their fight. “12 rounds. You’re on steroids so lets put that s*it to work,” he said on April 28. It took Jake almost a day to respond, but when he did, he quickly turned the tables on Nate. “You speaking to me Nathan? We haven’t forgotten that you tested positive for steroids. You and your boyfriend Connor are juice heads,” he fired back. “Let’s do 15 rounds and see how good those cannabis corroded lungs are. VADA going to be coming to Stockton to slap you up.” The pair of them haven’t added anything to those tweets, with Jake turning his attention to trash-talking KSI over his boxing career. Given how long fans of Jake have waited to see him fight Nate, there’s sure to be plenty of interest around it, and that doesn’t include the fact that he’s looking to bounce back from his first loss.

Jake Paul hits back at Pete Davidson’s boxing roast in SNL skit – Dexerto
Jake Paul hits back at Pete Davidson’s boxing roast in SNL skit YouTube: Saturday Night Live, Jake PaulYouTube star Jake Paul is hitting out at Pete Davidson after he was portrayed by the comedian for the butt of a joke during a skit on Saturday Night Live. Jake Paul is one of the biggest names in the YouTube game right now, largely because of his boxing pursuits. The influencer has decided to branch out from online entertainment into the world of combat sports, where he has found surprising success. Paul has racked up a 4-0 professional record, taking out such names as retired NBA player Nate Robinson, Olympic mixed martial artist Ben Askren, and former five-time UFC champ Tyron Woodley. Now, Paul has his sights set on a number of opponents, Tommy Fury and Nate Diaz among them. However, his bombastic splash into the sport of boxing has earned him a hefty amount of criticism, as seen during a recent comedic sketch on Saturday Night Live. Pete Davidson portrays Jake Paul in SNL skit In the sketch, comedian Pete Davidson portrayed a haughty Jake Paul, who “announced” his next opponent as the late great Muhammad Ali during a fake interview, saying: “If I win, you have to change your name back to Cassius Clay!” (Topic begins at 2:45) Jake Paul slams Pete Davidson over SNL sketch Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Paul is finding this particular joke very funny, according to a comment he sent out toward Davidson on Instagram a few days after the skit aired. “Lol @nbcsnl got jokes,” Paul wrote. “This was funny Pete, but I’m still slapping you when I see you next.” View this post on Instagram Jake Paul & Pete Davidson’s beef goes way back The beef between Paul and Pete isn’t anything new; in April, Davidson notably mocked Jake Paul during an interview ahead of his bout with Ben Askren, saying that the fight “shows how low boxing has sunk.” Paul later lashed out at Davidson, claiming that that the comedian “won’t ever be a part of” one of his boxing events again when asked about the incident by his older brother, Logan Paul. Considering this latest beef between the two stars, there’s no telling what could happen next… but it would certainly make good material for another potential SNL skit.

Jake Paul hits back at Floyd Mayweather & Gervonta Davis over “clown” jokes – Dexerto
Jake Paul hits back at Floyd Mayweather & Gervonta Davis over “clown” jokes YouTube: Jake Paul/YouTube: RevoltSocial media star Jake Paul has hit back at Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis after boxing star Davis called took some shots at his upcoming opponent using Jake’s name. For years now, YouTubers have been settling their differences inside the ring with highly-anticipated amateur bouts. Though, some have gone much further than that. Jake Paul, and his brother Logan, ditched the amateur status to have professional bouts, with Jake racking up a 4-0 record, while Logan is 0-1 – with his draw against Floyd Mayweather not counting on the official records. Since his brother’s bout with Floyd, Jake has been trying to get the boxing icon to get into the ring with him, revealing that an offer had been put forward at one point, and there’s been plenty of trash talk from the pair. Though, boxing star Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, a Mayweather fighter, has now also got involved. During the press conference for his upcoming fight with Rolando Romero, Davis took the opportunity to fire some shots at Jake by labeling Romero as a “clown” and “a Jake Paul.” It didn’t take long for the YouTuber to weigh in on the comments, using them as a way to taunt Floyd in the process. “Dear Floyd, IF you can read this, please tell your puppet Gervonta to leave my name out of his mouth,” he started. “This clown makes double your purse in my 4th fight.. this clown double’s your PPV buys.. and is double your height. Gervonta should’ve fought me in kindergarten when we were the same height,” Jake added, mocking Tank’s height by putting together a photo of himself as a kid and one of the boxing star at his press conference. Dear Floyd, IF you can read this, please tell your puppet Gervonta to leave my name out of his mouth. Sincerely – Clownman69— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) October 22, 2021 This clown makes double your purse in my 4th fight.. this clown double’s your PPV buys.. and is double your height. @Gervontaa Gervonta should’ve fought me in kindergarten when we were the same height. pic.twitter.com/PcJpYZsrip — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) October 22, 2021 Jake’s posts were not finished there, however, as he once again went back to the well with another photoshop. This time, it was of Davis and Mayweather on the poster for the movie ‘Step Brothers’ but the title had been changed to ‘Stutter Brothers’ to mock their speech impediments. While Jake and Davis are unlikely to square off, the YouTuber seems determined to goad Mayweather into a bout with his constant trash talk. It’s something he’s also done towards Conor McGregor, which got the UFC icon to soften his stance on fighting Jake or Logan as he admitted he had become open to it.

Jake Paul hits back at “airhead” Jorge Masvidal after Tyron Woodley fight prediction – Dexerto
Jake Paul hits back at “airhead” Jorge Masvidal after Tyron Woodley fight prediction Instagram: gamebredfighter / jakepaulYouTuber Jake Paul has responded to MMA fighter Jorge Masvidal’s prediction for the outcome of his fight with Tryon Woodley. With the August 29 Paul vs. Woodley fight fast approaching, many are weighing in on who they think will come home victorious from the highly anticipated event. Naturally, Jake’s brother Logan thinks the YouTuber will achieve a knockout victory, but not everybody thinks his chances are so good. In an appearance on The MMA Hour, pro fighter Jorge Masvidal gave his prediction for the fight, claiming that, “chances are Woodley is gonna knock him the f**k out.” However, Paul didn’t take too kindly to these comments and fired back at Masvidal in an interview with MMA Junkie. “I wasn’t surprised by Masvidal,” he said. “He has the same managers as Woodley and the guy’s kind of an airhead. Let’s be honest, Masvidal’s not smart. Does anyone here listen to a Masvidal interview and go, ‘wow, that guy is intellectual and he’s a smart guy and the way he talks, he’s very well-spoken.’ I don’t think anyone says that. View this post on Instagram “He’s a street fighter, gangster, who got knocked the f**k out in his last fight, so maybe he’s losing a couple brain cells.” The influencer continued: “Hoes will be hoes, b*tches will be b*tches. If you want to switch up and act like that one moment he’s my friend, texting me saying, ‘yo let’s train, yo let’s do a video together. Yo can you come to my bakery down the street I want to do a little thing with you.’ Then, oh snap, all of a sudden he wants to switch up? Cool. That’s not how I was raised.” Read More: CallMeCarson confirms Twitch return – Masvidal responded to Paul’s comments on the interview via Twitter, writing: “I guess this means you’ll stop hitting me up now on social media to hang out and train.

Don’t worry about me you got a handful of problems coming your way #supernecessary — Jorge Masvidal (@GamebredFighter) August 26, 2021 Jake went on to repost the MMA fighter’s response to his Instagram story, pointing out that he doesn’t follow him back. The tension is continuing to climb ahead of the Paul vs. Woodley fight, but with such strong predictions coming from either side, fans don’t know who is really going to win.

Jake Paul hits back at claims he didn’t write “Fresh Outta London” Instagram: Jake PaulJake Paul has hit out at claims on Instagram that he didn’t write his latest track “Fresh Outta London” which was released on Friday, July 24. The latest track is a guitar-heavy rap track and the music video has already reached almost 5 million views on YouTube. Paul has already been criticized for featuring footage from a party that was condemned by the Mayor of Calabasas for violating social-distancing rules. A Jake Paul fan account on Instagram posted a clip scrolling through the song’s page on Genius which revealed the editing history of the page. In the video, the credits on Genius show that the song was written by Desiigner and Killjxsper. Then, YouTuber nolifeshaq also came for Paul with an 11 minute YouTube video claiming Jake lied to him that he wrote the song, and also pulled up screenshots from Genius. Paul quote tweeted the Instagram clip and wrote: “Genius isn’t a credible source for song credits. What’s going on here is that people can’t handle that I made a good song & they’re doing everything they can to make it seem like I didn’t write it.” genius isn’t a credible source for song credits. whats going on here is that people can’t handle that I made a good song & they’re doing everything they can to make it seem like i didn’t write it. a random user inserted names under the producer and writer section. smfh. ppl mad. https://t.co/GlZNZTeoxg — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) July 27, 2020 However, KSI himself has come for Jake on Instagram, posting a screenshot of Apple Music crediting Killjxsper and Desiigner as the writers, saying “Don’t ever try to come at me saying I don’t write my music. I have written every single song I have ever made. You evidently have not.” “You don’t understand how writing credit works,” KSI continued. “Writing credits doesn’t just include lyrics writers, it also shows beatmakers/soundwriters, credit to people for the sample, etc. You can find this on any album… “End of the day Jake Paul your music hasn’t been doing anything chart-wise since 2017. Your new song isn’t even in the top 200 of iTunes in your own country…so pipe down and go train for your fight.” Both Spotify and Genius now say that Jake Paul is the writer and performer, and the producer is Joey Iny. Paul has even gone so far as to edit the source for the credits on Spotify to say “stop tryna see who put this out.”

Jake Paul hits back at critics after Fury vs Ngannou fight Youtube: BS w/ Jake Paul / DAZNJake Paul told his haters to “shut the f**k up” after the controversial split decision fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou. Jake Paul has been criticized in the past by the boxing world for his caliber of opponents, with the majority of his winning record coming against MMA fighters – and his case wasn’t helped by reports that Mike Tyson walked out after watching him box for 30 seconds. But Jake Paul was animated after watching the Fury vs Ngannou fight. Tyson Fury, half-brother of KSI’s recent opponent Tommy Fury, fought Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia on October, 28, earning himself a split-decision victory. Fury was the overwhelming favorite to win the fight, and many were shocked by Ngannou’s performance, pushing the British Heavyweight Champion to his limits. Fans are professional fighters alike praised former UFC champion Ngannou for his surprising performance, with top-level boxers like Chris Eubank Jr thinking he won the fight – “Watching from ringside I thought Ngannou won the fight.” Jake Paul noticed all the praise being given to Ngannou and was quick to let fans know his thoughts after he was ridiculed for boxing MMA fighters. Jake Paul complained on Twitter about the hate he had received Jake Paul responded to people’s complaints that fighting MMA fighters is “easy work” and that he needs to fight harder opponents not long after Ngannou scored a knockdown in round 3: But fans weren’t so convinced that the result of Fury vs Ngannou liberated Jake Paul from boxing criticism, making sure to remind him that some of the fighters he had fought were retired: “You fight retired 40-year-olds coming off of hip surgery,” one person commented, referencing Jake’s boxing opponent Ben Askren. However, some combat sports enthusiasts interjected that Ngannou himself is 37 years old, although admitted that he is in his “prime” and still an active fighter – unlike some of Jake Paul’s opponents. The younger Paul brother’s most recent fight was against Nate Diaz, which he won via unanimous decision, improving his record to 7-1-0, with his only loss coming from Tommy Fury who also defeated KSI.

Jake Paul hints at “moving on” from YouTube ahead of KSI vs Logan Paul 2 – Dexerto
Jake Paul hints at “moving on” from YouTube ahead of KSI vs Logan Paul 2 While Jake Paul might be a music artist, pro boxer, and former Disney star, the Team 10 founder is best known for his storied YouTube career – but it looks like the internet celeb is hoping to leave those days behind him. In a video uploaded on November 9 – mere hours ahead of the highly-anticipated KSI vs Logan Paul rematch – Jake joked about “moving on” from the platform after being asked to quit boxing by his tiny housemate, Tydus. “Yeah, boxing is cool, but you’re a YouTuber,” Tydus argued. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ZxhIeFh7F/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link“No I’m not,” Paul scoffed. “I’m an entertainer. I entertain people. I’m no longer controversial. I’m not a YouTuber, bro. …I’m moving on from that phase, you know? So subscribe to see my next phase.” This statement was broken up with humorous plugs for his own merch, after which he posed with his diamond play button in an obvious, self-inflicted jab at his hopes of growing out of being an internet star. “Yeah, I’m just like, over it for now,” he continued. “Your life goes in phases and such. You know what I’m saying? I just don’t do YouTube anymore.” (Timestamp: 5:30 for mobile viewers) While Paul made no mention of what his “next phase” might be, the YouTuber has been adamantly requesting a pro fight from promoter Eddie Hearn, who hinted at a potential bout for the star following the KSI rematch.

Jake Paul hits back at AnEsonGib claiming he wanted to drop their fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul hits back at AnEsonGib claiming he wanted to drop their fight YouTube star Jake Paul is scheduled to step in the ring once more in January 2020 and tensions are running high, as he’s had to respond to his opponent, AnEsonGib, claiming that he wanted to cancel their fight. Over a year has passed since Jake’s first boxing match against YouTuber Deji Olatunji in August 2018, which Paul emerged from as the victor by knockout. Having scored a win on his breakout fight, it came as no surprise when the Team 10 founder hoped to earn a spot on the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch undercard — a request that was ultimately denied in favor of a separate match. After pleading with boxing promoter Eddie Hearn for a turn on the rematch undercard, Paul scored his very own headline fight against fellow content creator AnEsonGib a few months later, set for January 30, 2020 in Miami, Florida. However, it looks like Paul wasn’t interested in the bout at first, as a Tweet from Gib claims that the star YouTuber nearly dropped the fight in the beginning. Jakey was on the brink of pulling out… fair play for accepting your fate and signing the ting — Ali (@AnEsonGib) December 23, 2019 “Jakey was on the brink of pulling out,” Gib wrote in a Tweet on December 23. “Fair play for accepting your fate and signing the ting.” Jake later denied these claims, arguing that he had even helped negotiate the deal with Gib in wake of his Twitter poll asking who he should fight following the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch. You had no control on who you’re fighting You had no control on the fee (haha btw) You were late to announce the fight because you were about to pull out. Do as your told and try to promote the fight with that dead channel https://t.co/0xWzkDW0So — Ali (@AnEsonGib) December 25, 2019 “Bruh, I brought the deal to you to be signed,” Jake retorted. “Negotiated your rate & all. Everything you say is a lie. When I brought the deal to your manager, he said you wanted to fight in March out of shape?” Gib was quick on the draw with his response, alleging that Paul had “no control” over his opponent and was late to announce their fight due to nearly pulling out of the deal — a deal that is now a mere month away. Both Paul and Gib will be making their professional debut during their upcoming boxing match, which is set to stream on DAZN via subscription, marking the second-ever professional YouTube boxing match to grace the platform following the KSI vs Logan Paul bout.

Jake Paul helps cover female UFC rookie’s fight costs amid Dana White pay controversy Instagram/JakePaulYouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has decided to help out a fighter in need of financial support as he continues to spar with UFC President Dana White over “not paying his fighters.” Jake Paul has been feuding with Dana White for the past few months, with the influencer accusing him of not paying his fighters what they’re worth. Now, the social media sensation is putting his own money where his mouth is, helping out a UFC rookie in her time of need, desperate for some financial help to make her mixed martial arts career a reality. UFC Flyweight rookie Sarah ‘Too Sweet’ Alpar created a GoFundMe in order to finance her fight costs leading up to her bout against Erin Blanchfield and beyond. View this post on Instagram “My whole life and every person that has come through it has led me to this moment in time where my dreams are coming true,” the UFC fighter wrote. “I have many people to thank, especially my coaches, training partners, my family and friends, and opponents to whom I’ve lost. I am better every day because of you and my hard work and determination. As I continue striving to be the best at what I do, I need your help financially to allow me to do this.” As such, the mixed martial artist is looking for $30,000 to help cover travel costs to UFC 266, gym fees and other fight expenses.

Sarah’s GoFundMe lists Jake Paul as the top donor, giving her a whopping $5,000 to help cover her fight costs. “It’s my honor and privilege to help fellow fighters in any way I can,” the YouTuber added. Just hours after Jake’s donation, Sarah was able to hit her goal and then some, raising over $34,000 in the process. so happy to see Sarah hit her goal🙏🏼@TOOSWEET_Alpar pic.twitter.com/p7tb6RwbX9 — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) June 30, 2021 While the feud between Dana and Paul is certainly far from over, it’s quite a big jab when the influencer feels he has to step in and help out where the UFC should.

Jake Paul hints at reunion with ex-girlfriend Erika Costell in new video – Dexerto
Jake Paul hints at reunion with ex-girlfriend Erika Costell in new video YouTube: Jake PaulYouTube star-turned-pro boxer Jake Paul has sent his fans into a tizzy after teasing a potential reunion with ex-girlfriend Erika Costell, years after their infamous split back in 2018. While Jake Paul’s relationship status has been relatively low-key for the past year, it seems that the influencer may have teased at a serious reunion that has fans hoping for the return of “Jerika.” Paul was once a popular item with fellow influencer, model and music artist Erika Costell, with the two even being featured in Shane Dawson’s highly-discussed documentary about Jake’s past controversies. Despite their relationship appearing hunky-dory on the outside, the two parted ways shortly thereafter, with many fan theories pointing to Shane’s docuseries as a potential (yet still unconfirmed) reason for their breakup. Years later, it seems that these two are back on (somewhat) good terms, thanks to a totally unexpected video that Paul posted to Twitter on February 28. The eleven-second clip shows Paul and Costell sitting side-by-side in a car together. After a while, the two awkwardly exchange glances before looking away from each other — and that’s where things start to get interesting. Costell jokingly shoves Jake’s arm away, causing him to flirtatiously grope her chest in response. This flirty exchange has viewers flocking to social media to share their hopes that this video could mean the return of one of YouTube’s most iconic couples. Jake also uploaded the same video to Instagram with the caption, “I’m unblocked boys!!” https://twitter.com/jakepaul/status/1366109716762550275?s=20 While the two were spotted getting lunch together shortly after Jake’s “engagement” to Tana Mongeau in 2019, it seemed as though the two were merely friends at the time; but Jake’s current video seems to hint at something a bit more than a “just friends” status. Erika herself has been decidedly quiet on the subject of their split, merely stating that “that ship has already sailed” when asked if she might ever get back together with the Team 10 founder. While Jake Paul has dated a few other influencers since breaking up with Costell, his love life has been out of the limelight in wake of his boxing success in 2020 — but this new “Jerika” tease has fans wondering if he might be focusing on a romantic relationship, once again.

Jake Paul hints at Tommy Fury fight delay amid his & Molly-Mae’s pregnancy wait – Dexerto
Jake Paul hints at Tommy Fury fight delay amid his & Molly-Mae’s pregnancy wait YouTube: Jake Paul/VIPBoxingPromotionsJake Paul has seemingly hinted that his fight with Tommy Fury could be delayed, as he posted a teasing tweet about the Fury’s upcoming birth. When Jake Paul defeated Anderson Silva at the end of October, several names were quickly suggested as his next opponent. Fans only wanted to see one fight made, though, with that being Jake vs Tommy Fury. The longtime rivals, apparently, exchanged contracts not long after the Silva fight, with Jake even offering to fly to the UK to make it happen. However, reports have claimed that the fight will happen in Saudi Arabia instead. There have even been claims that the fight is a “done deal” and will happen on February 25. Yet, Jake has appeared to pour cold water on that and suggested another delay might be forthcoming. Jake Paul hints at Tommy Fury fight delay over pregnancy The YouTuber-turned-boxer has played his cards quite close to his chest since the reports that the fight has been agreed upon, but he did break his silence to drop the teaser. “Hold your horses. The man’s having a baby,” he tweeted on January 25, referring to the fact that Molly-Mae Hague, Tommy’s partner, is expecting. Mike Majlak even poked fun at things, saying that Tommy isn’t the one having the baby. The couple, who met on Love Island back in 2019, had a due date for late January, but Molly-Mae has been pretty quiet on social media and there have been some suggestions that they may have already become parents. Pre-fight camps for fighters typically last between 6-8 weeks, which would mean Tommy would miss the early part of the childbirth if he was in camp for February 25th. However, the latest report from award-winning combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani claims that very well might be the case. Rather than a few-month delay as many anticipated, it seems the fight will simply be pushed back 24 hours. Instead of taking place on February 25, Helwani reported a February 26 announcement is supposedly imminent. We’ll have to wait and see if they shift off the originally planned date, especially with Jake planning to move into MMA in the near future.

Jake Paul has open title fight offer from current boxing world champ – Dexerto
Jake Paul has open title fight offer from current boxing world champ YouTube: DAZN/Jake PaulJake Paul seemingly has an open invitation to take on Cruiserweight boxing champion Mairis Briedis, as the Latvian is willing to “cancel everything” to take on the YouTuber. Ever since Jake Paul managed to beat Tyron Woodley in their end of 2021 rematch, many in the boxing world have urged him to take on a “real boxer” with years of experience. The YouTuber has targeted some of the biggest names in the sport – including pound-for-pound king Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez – while others like Julio Cesar Chavez Jr have also thrown their name into the mix. Chavez, a former world champion, has seemingly been the frontrunner to take on Jake once he returns to the ring, but current Cruiserweight champion Mairis Briedis is also eager to square off against the social star – as he even got a tattoo about Jake on his leg. While the tattoo was a pretty big commitment, Breidis has reiterated that he is serious and willing to “cancel everything” he has planned, should Jake want to fight him at any point. The Latvian, who holds a 28-1 record, told Mirror Boxing that he’d be open to a bout with Jake as it would help elevate the sport. “This is a big promotion for the IBF, WBC, WBO, and this old championship belt. The stocks go up and this is what we need you to know, people need to know these organizations but not for people who already understand it,” he said. Breidis added that he believes Jake is “brilliant” with his promotion skills and bringing eyes to the sport. “We have very good ideas but also step-by-step so we go next to Australia. But also Jake Paul if he says yes we cancel everything and face Jake Paul,” he concluded. In terms of getting back in the ring, Jake has already stated that he won’t be doing so until the summer, and isn’t sure who he’ll fight at this stage. On top of Breidis’ offer, the YouTuber also had Tommy Fury still also eager to settle their beef. So, we’ll have to wait and see what happens.

Jake Paul has surprising response to KSI’s Lil Wayne shade YouTube: Jake Paul/KSISocial media star Jake Paul responded to KSI’s taunting of him after the British YouTuber linked up with Jake’s idol Lil Wayne for a track, but it wasn’t the spicy response some might expect. For years, KSI and the Paul brothers have been going back and forth in online arguments. He and Logan have even gotten into the boxing ring and settled the beef for good. However, when it comes to him and Paul, the two social media stars won’t give an inch. They’ve called each other to fight and they continue the shade over a number of different things. Most recently, after KSI linked up with Lil Wayne for a new song, he used as it chance to get one over on Jake, seeing as the YouTuber cites the rapper as one of his idols. The British YouTuber dropped a TikTok, mocking Jake’s attempt at the ‘Sheesh’ pose before asking “got any more idols mate?” and saying that Jake will never make a song with them as he has. While some fans might have expected the former Vine star to fire back with some mega shade of his own, that hasn’t quite been the case. Instead, he took the high road and congratulated his long-time rival. “Damn, congrats, this is actually insane. You’ve been killing it with your music,” he said. “You’re showing the world that ‘YouTubers’ can accomplish anything. No hate. Keep it up.” Some fans immediately suggested that Jake must be “plotting something” if he didn’t fire back with some crazy diss. “Something ain’t right I can feel it,” said one. “Never thought I’d see this side of Jake.” added another. We’ll just have to wait and see if he does have anything planned or if preparations for his upcoming fight with Tyron Woodley prevent anything crazy.

Jake Paul has hilarious reaction to being outearned by child star – Dexerto
Jake Paul has hilarious reaction to being outearned by child star Jake Paul, Twitter / RyanToysReview, YouTubeControversial YouTuber Jake Paul has been deemed one of YouTube’s top-earning personalities, coming in at the number two spot in Forbe’s list of top 10 highest paid stars on the video platform. Although Jake beat out his older brother, Logan Paul (who sits at the number 10 spot, just underneath YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie Kjellberg), he wasn’t too happy with his high placement – especially concerning who he lost to. Jake Paul was beaten out by child YouTube star RyanToysReview, who topped his earnings by half a million dollars at $22 million. Paul posted a humorous reaction to the news in a Twitter video on December 3, seemingly surprised that he was beaten out by the kid. “Okay, let’s see, where am I,” Paul mused, scrolling down the list. “Number two? Who did I lose to? This little kid?!” Paul even captioned the video, “damnit,” humorously poking fun at his loss to the child star. http://www.therockfather.com/news-and-reviews/toy-and-games/item/6201-ryans-world-toy-review Of course, RyanToysReview isn’t the sole property of seven-year-old Ryan, himself – the channel is run by his mother and father, who also appear in his videos, along with his twin sisters. However, both Ryan and Paul boast a similar number of 17 million followers. Despite their large fanbases, it looks like Jake’s infamously hawked merchandise can’t top Ryan’s collectible toy line, which is available for purchase at Wal-Marts across the country. Also on Forbe’s list were makeup guru Jeffree Star at $18 million, YouTuber Markiplier at $17.5 million, and even YouTube group Dude Perfect at a hefty $20 million.

Jake Paul has “mixed feelings” over rescheduling Tommy Fury fight: “I should sue him” – Dexerto
Jake Paul has “mixed feelings” over rescheduling Tommy Fury fight: “I should sue him” YouTube: MMA FightingYouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul says he has “mixed feelings” over rescheduling his fight with Tommy Fury for the third time, suggesting he lost about a million dollars over it this time around. When Jake Paul and Tommy Fury started trading online jabs at each other a few years ago, it seemed as if it would only be a matter of time before they stepped into the ring and actually fought. The pair have been scheduled to fight twice now – once at the end of 2021, and more recently in August of 2022 – but Tommy has pulled out twice. First time around, the Brit suffered a late injury in training camp before visa troubles prevented him from traveling to the United States ahead of the second date. While Jake has a new opponent lined up for his August fight – Hasim Rahman Jr. – fans are still eager to see him and Tommy trade actual punches. Though, he’s unsure about making it happen again. Jake Paul calls Tommy Fury cancelation “disappointing” Following the first press conference for the fight with Rahman Jr., Jake spoke with BoxingScene about the potential of rearranging the fight with Tommy for a third time – and he was hardly raring to do it. “I have mixed feelings,” Jake told the Boxing news website. “It sorta depends what day it is.” The YouTuber-turned-boxer noted that there are days when he wants to “knock him out” but then there are others where he suspects Tommy will “back out again” and “waste” Jake’s time and money. “We don’t know if he actually went to the airport,” Paul added, touching on Tommy’s travel troubles. “And then his dad came out and said he told Tommy not to do the fight because he was overweight and wasn’t training and all of this stuff. So, who knows what actually happened? It’s disappointing. I should sue him, honestly, because he wasted literally probably almost a million dollars worth of our time in that whole, entire process.” While plenty of fans are chomping at the bit to see Jake and Tommy finally fight, the 25-year-old does have a tricky test in the form of Hasim Rahman Jr. and he’ll have to overcome that before being considering other future contests. If Tommy’s travel troubles continue, the fight may have to take place outside of the United States – and Jake has already set a lofty price tag on making it happen in the UK.

Jake Paul guarantees fight victory against Canelo Alvarez: “I know I could beat him” – Dexerto
Jake Paul guarantees fight victory against Canelo Alvarez: “I know I could beat him” Instagram/canelo/jakepaulInfluencer-turned-fighter Jake Paul might be fresh out of opponents right now, but he’s calling out Canelo Alvarez, even claiming he can beat the pound-for-pound top boxer. Jake Paul’s boxing career has been quite the success story so far, despite a couple of recent hiccups. The Problem Child is undefeated with a 5-0 record and has knocked out everyone he has fought from Ben Askren to Tyron Woodley. Although his August 6 fight was canceled after replacement Hasim Rahman Jr was unable to make weight after Tommy Fury was unable to enter the country, Paul remains confident in his boxing ability. Speaking with TalkSport, the YouTuber explained why he has what it takes to not only fight the best of the best, but win, calling out Canelo Alvarez in the process. Jake Paul explains why he would beat Canelo Although Paul has previously said he wasn’t yet ready to fight Canelo, and would want to duke it out once he has more wins to his name, he seemingly changed his tune in a recent interview. “I still think Canelo and I is one of the biggest fights to be made in boxing,” he said. “And I know I could beat him.” Paul went on to reference the boxer’s loss to Dmitry Bivol – something he has commented on before, noting how he’s heavier and taller than the Russian who won by unanimous decision. “People laugh at that, but Dmitry Bivol showed he is very beatable and I have a style, range, speed and power similar to Bivol,” he added. “So, stylistically when you put us in there it’s not going to be a great night for Canelo.” As for whether or not Jake Paul and Canelo actually do touch gloves, the Mexican boxer isn’t opposed to the opportunity having teased that he’d be willing to KO the upstart fighter in a couple of years. We’ll have to wait and see what the future holds and just who Jake Paul actually ends up fighting next after having trouble with his recent opponents having travel and weight issues.

Jake Paul has ex-boxing champ as Mike Tyson replacement that might get him Canelo fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul has ex-boxing champ as Mike Tyson replacement that might get him Canelo fight Instagram/JakePaulJake Paul reportedly has a former boxing world champion lined up as a replacement for Mike Tyson if the 58-year-old can’t make the rearranged fight date in November. When it was announced that Jake Paul and Mike Tyson would, finally, be squaring off inside the boxing ring, plenty of fans and pundits were quick to criticize the fight. The overwhelming critique came because of the massive gap in age between the pair and also that Jake would have to gain weight for a heavyweight clash. The fight, which was supposed to happen on July 20, has since been rescheduled for late November after ‘Iron’ Mike suffered an ulcer flare during a flight to Miami. However, if the heavyweight boxing icon can’t make that re-arranged date, Jake purportedly has a backup fighter – Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. That’s right, according to World Boxing News, Jake is eyeing up the former WBC Middleweight champion as a replacement for Tyson, if he can’t step into the ring in November. As WBN points out, the 38-year-old Mexican fighter had been lined up to fight on the undercard for the original date with Tyson and is taking on Uriah Hall on the undercard of Jake’s fight with Mike Perry. On top of that, Cesar Chavez Jr. has a history with a fighter that Jake is desperate to tear it up – Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. The YouTuber-turned-boxer is still targeting a fight with the Mexican superstar, according to Nakisa Bidarian – Jake’s longtime business partner. “Canelo is definitely someone that he wants to fight. I think if Jake knockouts Mike Tyson, it’s doable,” he told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour on July 3. As per Bidarian, the angle would likely be that Canelo would want to defend boxing from someone like Jake. Though, who knows if it’d be the world title fight the YouTuber is looking for.

Jake Paul goes viral on TikTok with claims he and Logan are running for President – Dexerto
Jake Paul goes viral on TikTok with claims he and Logan are running for President YouTube: Jake Paul / pexels.com: ShareFaithYouTube star-turned-boxer Jake Paul is going viral across TikTok and other social media platforms after boasting that he and older brother Logan might be running for United States President in 2032. They say anything is possible — and for YouTubers Jake and Logan Paul, that just might be true. The young influencers have come a long way from their humble origins as Ohio country boys, and have now scored major bouts against professional fighters alongside their explosive careers as social media stars. However, fights with the likes of Floyd Mayweather and Tyron Woodley are just stepping stones to greater things, it seems, as Jake boasted in an interview that he and his bro are running for President when they come of age. Paul made these comments in a discussion with Overtime after being asked who was more likely to become President between himself and NBA star LeBron James. While he initially claimed LeBron was more likely to get voted in, he quickly mentioned that he and his brother have plans to run the country when they turn 35. “I’m running for President, but I’m not even 35 yet,” he said. “My brother and I are running for President in 2032. That’s when we’ll be eligible.” When asked if they’d be running against each other, Jake claimed that they’d decide which one of them would actually be President while the other one acts as their running-mate. (Topic begins at 3:04) “We’re still figuring it out. I might be President, he might. I think we’re gonna flip a coin and see who gets to be the President versus Vice President.” “He’s more PC and he’s likeable, where I’m like the villain,” Jake said of his brother. Logan Paul made similar comments in April 2020, claiming that, while he could run in 2032, he’d prefer to wait until 2050 when he’s a “grown-a*s man with lots of intelligence and wisdom.” (Topic begins at 1:14:03) Jake’s more recent statement has since gone viral across TikTok, with a video clip of the interview garnering over 100,000 views. It doesn’t seem like the Paul brothers’ constituents are all too jazzed about the possibility of them running the country, if the comments are anything to go by… but only time will tell if the influencers are actually serious about the whole ordeal.

Jake Paul greenlights Kamaru Usman fight after UFC callout: “Challenge accepted” – Dexerto
Jake Paul greenlights Kamaru Usman fight after UFC callout: “Challenge accepted” Instagram: usman84kg / Instagram: JakepaulWith Jake Paul continuing to call out MMA fighters for his next boxing showdown, one name has stood out from the pack. The YouTuber has “accepted” a challenge from current UFC Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. Ever since his viral first-round knockout over Ben Askren, Paul has been on a social media tear. From fellow internet celebs to MMA legends, he’s actively calling out new names every day in hopes of locking in another blockbuster event. While all eyes were on a potential scrap with Daniel Cormier following an altercation at UFC 261, attention has now shifted to the man who headlined that very PPV card. Hot off of his own spectacular KO over Jorge Masvidal, Usman addressed Paul in an April 28 interview with TMZSports. “Unmotivated” by his current competition in the UFC, Usman teased the idea of “beating the sh**” out of “one of these internet guys.” “Right now, these internet guys are making more noise than the guys in my division,” Usman said. Rather than letting Cormier even “entertain” the idea of a fight with Paul, Usman claimed he’d rather “take care of that for [him].” Kamaru Usman and Jake Paul exchange heated words “Challenge accepted,” Paul tweeted in response shortly after the interview went live. “If your boss gives you permission to box me and make more money than you ever have, let me know and we can lace them up.” If the Welterweight champ is able to wriggle out of his UFC contract for the one-off influencer bout, Paul assures “it will be [his] biggest payday.” To this day, Paul has only boxed one fighter with any previous combat sports experience. Evidently, there’s no denying Usman would provide the biggest step up in competition yet. Currently on the second-longest win streak in UFC history, ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ has dominated his way to a 19-1 professional record. Challenge accepted.@USMAN84kg if your boss Dana gives you permission to box me and make more money than you ever have, let me know and we can lace them up. I promise it will be your biggest pay day. — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) April 27, 2021 Kamaru Usman shuts down Jake Paul challenge Obviously, there are a dozen hoops Usman would need to jump through for this fight to become real. The UFC would either have to release its current Welterweight champ, or negotiate an unprecedented deal with Triller before the potential scrap could go ahead. And, while it was already extremely unlikely such a fight would ever materialize, Usman quickly moved to shut down rumors once and for all. “Keep making your money young man, and stay on that side,” he said a few hours later. “I ain’t no Disney kid and I don’t play fighting.” Keep making your money young man, and stay on that side. I ain’t no Disney kid and I don’t play fighting. — KAMARU USMAN (@USMAN84kg) April 28, 2021 Despite the door seemingly closing on that matchup, Paul has already listed off a number of potential opponents he’s looking to face down the line. From Nate Diaz to Conor McGregor, we’ll just have to wait and see who signs on the dotted line next.

Jake Paul gives Logan Paul his “blessing” to fight Andrew Tate: “It has to go down” – Dexerto
Jake Paul gives Logan Paul his “blessing” to fight Andrew Tate: “It has to go down” YouTube: IMPAULSIVE / Instagram: cobratateYouTube star Jake Paul has given big bro Logan his blessing to take on Andrew Tate in a boxing match — but he isn’t sure that the bout will ever happen. Budding boxer Jake Paul has had difficulty securing an opponent for his next match, with two opponents dropping out of his scheduled August 6 bout, costing him millions. However, he might have an opponent in former kickboxing champ and internet personality Andrew Tate, as Tate has publicly called out ‘The Problem Child’ on multiple occasions for a fight. Jake finally opened up about the possibility of a match with Tate during an August 9 episode of the IMPAULSIVE podcast, where he made it clear that he is not a fan of the controversial influencer. That’s not all; he even gave Logan his blessing to fight Tate in his stead, but promised the former kickboxer that “If my brother doesn’t f**k you up, I will. It has to go down.” Jake also revealed that Tate had messaged him on Instagram, but apparently unsent the message before Jake could read it. Jake Paul explains why Andrew Tate match might not happen That being said, he isn’t sure that Tate will actually be up to the challenge. According to Jake, Tate might think the bout is too big of a risk to potentially lose to the Paul bros. “I don’t think he gets in the ring with one of us,” he explained. “It’s too big of a risk for him. He’s ‘alpha male,’ right? That’s his whole entire thing. And when he loses — he will lose to either one of us he fights — his whole schtick and all the women will be like, ‘Yeah!’ and his whole schtick goes out the window.” (Topic begins at 46:05) Logan Paul reveals why his team is hesitant to secure Andrew Tate fight Logan also revealed that his own team is hesitant to move forward with a fight against Tate due to fears surrounding Tate’s relevance in the future. “When I’m shopping the idea around to my advisors, they’re concerned that he won’t be as poppin’ as he is right now, or as relevant, in December or January,” he said. For now, it’s unclear if either of the Paul bros will face off with Tate in the future, but one thing’s for certain — they’re definitely down for it.

Jake Paul gives surprising explanation for discontinuing his ‘Uncut’ docuseries – Dexerto
Jake Paul gives surprising explanation for discontinuing his ‘Uncut’ docuseries Jake Paul – YouTubeControversial YouTuber Jake Paul unveiled his ‘Jake Paul Uncut’ documentary series in late November of 2018 – but it looks like the social media star is already calling off the project. Paul announced the discontinuation of ‘Jake Paul Uncut’ during a vlog on February 11, where he explained that he had been “hiding” new episodes of the series from fans in order to avoid potential blowups due to sensitive footage. Paul likewise claimed that the documentary became too serious, and that other members of the Team 10 squad balked at having their lives publicized for millions of viewers to see. “…the ‘Jake Paul Uncut’ thing became too real for a lot of the parties involved,” he stated. “A lot of the parties involved didn’t want to have that much realness or that much content about their lives out there on social media.” However, despite the series being shelved, Paul is currently seeking out other ways to showcase the “real” aspects of his life for his audience – which includes finding new members who don’t mind exposing their own lives in front of the camera. Paul’s ‘Uncut’ series aired shortly after Shane Dawson’s own ‘The Mind of Jake Paul’ documentary in 2018, which Paul claimed to have been inspired by. Paul’s series delved into his tumultuous relationship with model Erika Costell, as well as his daily life of being an ultra-popular YouTuber. Despite its intriguing premise, the series only saw two episodes before going dark – and now, it looks like the third installment will never see the light of day.

Jake Paul gives Anderson Silva fight prediction as boxing match draws near – Dexerto
Jake Paul gives Anderson Silva fight prediction as boxing match draws near DexertoJake Paul offered his prediction for his upcoming boxing match against UFC legend Anderson Silva… but ‘The Spider’ wasn’t too sure about his opponent’s take on the subject. YouTube star Jake Paul is shaking up the influencer-boxing world in a huge way, as he’s set to take on MMA GOAT Anderson Silva in the ring come October 29. The two opponents met face to face for a press conference on September 12 in Los Angeles, where both parties revealed their mutual respect for each other — a major point for Jake Paul, who’s admired the fighter since his childhood. However, he’s still going to touch gloves with ‘The Spider’ in a month’s time and is confident in his abilities as a boxer… so much so that he believes the bout won’t go past the fifth round, one way or another. “It won’t go more than five [rounds],” Paul answered, but then turned the question over to Silva: “Bro, I wanna know your prediction for the fight.” “Of course!” an excited Silva replied — but his response was interrupted by a sudden photo-op with Logan Paul, who wanted to recreate the photo he and Jake took with Silva when they were just kids. Throughout the conference, Silva made it clear that he is “excited” to take on Jake Paul, who he views as part of the “new generation” of boxers. Anderson Silva declines tattoo bet with Jake Paul That’s not all; Paul also entertained the idea of a bet with Silva, offering to get a spider tattooed on himself if he lost — but Silva wasn’t too interested in that idea. “No, no, no, stop,” Silva laughed. “Let me tell you something. I don’t need you to get a spider tattoo. I know you’re my fan. Don’t worry. I’m your fan too! I’m a big fan. But I hate tattoos, bro. I hate them! I don’t have them. My kids say, ‘You need to get them dad! You need to get one.’” Jake says he’ll come up with another bet come the week of fight night. Here’s hoping it’ll be a more successful bet than his failed wager against Dana White.

Jake Paul gives 12 crazy reasons he “cannot be defeated” by Tommy Fury – Dexerto
Jake Paul gives 12 crazy reasons he “cannot be defeated” by Tommy Fury YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul has got a list of 12 reasons why he believes he’ll beat Tommy Fury in their long-awaited fight, and some of them are pretty unusual. The rivalry between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury is well-documented at this point. They’ve gone back and forth with online trash talk for a few years now, and have even been supposed to fight. Their last two fight nights were called off due to issues on Tommy’s side – one being an injury and the other being the inability to enter the United States – but they’ve now agreed to fight on February 26 in Saudi Arabia. Naturally, they’ve started ramping up the trash talk once again. They both believe they’ll have an easy night’s work and quickly move on to another fight afterward. Though, Jake has got some unusual reasons as to why he believes he’ll win as well. Jake Paul lists 12 reasons why he has advantage over Tommy Fury The ‘Problem Child’ took to Instagram to list 12 reasons why he thinks he’s got the advantage over all his opponents, which includes Tommy. “I’m more athletic, have more heart, more of a WHY, more poised, more emotionally intelligent, more spiritually connected, more calculated, more willing to die, more patient, more studied, more willing to learn, more supported and loved than any of my opponents,” Jake said in the caption of a post about his training on January 31. “So in this lifetime I just simply cannot be defeated. For this timeline I am extremely grateful,” he added. Some viewers criticized Jake’s post as just “more talk” and urged him to focus on the work ahead. “Insecurities popping through,” said one. “Forgot more cringy,” added another. “Please be humble dude,” commented another. Plenty of fans got behind Jake’s post, though, and there is plenty of interest in seeing him fight Tommy. Though, if that doesn’t happen, and the Fury’s pull out again, he has got a back-up plan prepared.

Jake Paul’s gift revealed to be fake as wedding date gets pushed back – Dexerto
Jake Paul’s gift revealed to be fake as wedding date gets pushed back Jake Paul, YouTubeControversial YouTubers Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau are taking their fast-paced relationship to the next level, revealing their alleged “engagement” after just two months of publicly dating – but the subsequent wedding rumors surrounding the couple may be on hold, after Paul “faked” a major wedding gift for his fiance. Tana Mongeau made no secret about her biggest birthday wish, asking her fanbase to Tweet at her boyfriend en masse to convince him to buy her a car – even getting the debacle to trend on Twitter, in the process. However, Paul isn’t one to surrender so easily; rather than acquiesce to her request, he decided to pull a major prank on the YouTube star, staging a fake “gift reveal” that hearkened back to his similar stunt on his own brother, Logan Paul. 600https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/jake-paul-tana-mongeau-already-tying-knot-wedding-date-revealed-752333Jake traveled to the Mercedes-Benz of Calabasas, CA in order to pull off the practical joke, even putting a giant red ribbon on top of a black Mercedes G Wagon – which ended up belonging to someone else, a development that Tana had openly suspected all along. “You know you’re just fucking with me for the clickbait,” Tana said of the matter, before the big reveal. “…it’s a fake car with a bow on it. And this is a funny-ass bit where you pretend to get me the car I wanted.” Of course, Paul’s “gift” was all a ruse – but that didn’t stop Tana from accepting his “proposal” at her 21st birthday bash, with sources close to the couple later revealing their wedding date to be June 28, just four days after the proposal. However, these sources have since updated their original statement, with Hollywood Life reporting that their wedding has now been pushed back to July 28 due to scheduling for Mongeau’s MTV series ‘Tana Turns 21.’ [Timestamp: 1: 45 for mobile viewers] While Hollywood actress Bella Thorne uploaded a teary reaction to the news, fans across the net aren’t buying the YouTubers’ wedding plans, with many speculating that the couple is faking the entire ordeal for content. However, Mongeau has assured her audience that the proposal is, indeed, legitimate – leaving fans waiting for a possible reveal in the near future.

Jake Paul gifts Dustin Poirier his ‘Sleepy McGregor’ chain: “Want the ankle snapped?” – Dexerto
Jake Paul gifts Dustin Poirier his ‘Sleepy McGregor’ chain: “Want the ankle snapped?” Instagram: Jake Paul / Dustin PoirierJake Paul took his mockery of Conor McGregor to the next level by offering Dustin Poirier his $100k ‘Sleepy McGregor’ chain, and when he accepted, he volunteered to snap its ankle. After getting dominated for most of the first round, Conor McGregor lost to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 via TKO due to a horrific leg break that appeared to have been caused by a leg check. However, people haven’t been overly sympathetic towards McGregor since he spent a lot of time trash-talking in the lead-up to the fight and after it, claiming Poirier’s wife was “in his DMs.” But Jake Paul is perhaps the most unsympathetic of them all. He’s been trying to get McGregor’s attention for months after taunting him to accept a $50 million fight offer, which he’s now lowered to $23. Before the fight, he had a $100,000 custom chain made, which he nicknamed ‘Sleepy McGregor.’ It captured the moment McGregor was lying on the canvas after his first loss to Poirier. And now it’s Poirier’s prize, after Paul offered it to him as a gift, and he accepted. The potential end of Conor’s MMA career? This falls nicely into the plans of a certain controversial influencer.pic.twitter.com/1a13ghYokl — Dexerto (@Dexerto) July 11, 2021 “Dustin Poirier, want me to ship this to you? $100k gift from me. I think you deserve it. Let me know,” he wrote on Twitter. Read More: Jake Paul says Conor McGregor is “losing it” – It took him a while, presumably due to the post-fight celebrations and a night of well-deserved sleep. However, the UFC star eventually responded and told Jake to “send it over.” “Gotchu,” replied Jake. “You want the ankle snapped off, or do you wanna do it?” – a clear reference to the horrific leg break. Some people saw the funny side in his joke; after all, the internet has been making a meal out of McGregor’s situation by plastering memes everywhere. Read More: Jake Paul slams “bald bum” Dana White – However, McGregor fans weren’t impressed. They told him that his words will come back to haunt him if the two ever square off in the octagon. gotchu you want the ankle snapped off or do you wanna do it? https://t.co/dP9nsfd56g — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) July 11, 2021 For a long time, Jake’s comments didn’t seem to phase McGregor in the slightest. He brushed them off like they were nothing. But that all changed recently when McGregor called the Paul brothers “dingbats” and said he was open to fighting them. Jake also claimed a fight between them could happen “in the next two years”. So, it seems like he’s trying to annoy McGregor enough to make it happen.

Jake Paul gets Tommy Fury fight offer with long-awaited bout in trouble – Dexerto
Jake Paul gets Tommy Fury fight offer with long-awaited bout in trouble YouTube: DAZN/Jake PaulJake Paul has been given a fight offer to take on Tommy Fury as negotiations between the pair appear to be on the ropes. Over the last few years, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have been lined up to fight each other on two separate occasions. However, trouble on Fury’s side of things has prevented the fight from happening to this point. The pair almost came to blows at the recent Floyd Mayweather vs Deji event as they got into a heated war of words while Jake was at ringside. That led to discussions about them fighting in early 2023, with the ‘Problem Child’ urging Fury’s camp to send a contract by November 22. Well, as that day came and went, Tommy claimed that Jake’s side had issued “no response” to him amid negotiations, leaving some fans to believe that the fight was, once again, on the ropes. Global Titans offers to host Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury fight Jake’s MVP brand has disputed Tommy’s claim about a lack of communication, saying that they’ve been in “daily contact” with the Fury camp as they try to get the fight to happen. Since then, Global Titans – who hosted the Mayweather vs Deji card – have stepped in to give the pair a fight offer, as they’re open to hosting a card that features fights from both camps. “Global Titans have made an offer to Jake Paul to fight Tommy Fury on a Global Titans event in early 2023,” they tweeted on November 23. “We are still awaiting a response and would welcome the prospect of a Global Titans vs. Most Valuable Promotions fight card from top to bottom.” The step in from Global Titans comes off the back of Tommy claiming that the promoters could have details ironed out by November 23. Though, that falls a day after Jake’s deadline of November 22. There is still plenty of interest in seeing the pair fight, but it appears it could be a pretty bumpy road before fans get what they want. Well, that’s if they get it at all.

Jake Paul gets UFC champ’s support as Dana White feud rumbles on – Dexerto
Jake Paul gets UFC champ’s support as Dana White feud rumbles on YouTube: Showtime Sports/NELK BoysJake Paul has got a fan in UFC champion Francis Ngannou as the heavyweight king said he agrees “100%” with the things he’s thrown at Dana White. Since getting involved in the combat sports world, Jake Paul has been plunged into a number of beefs with fellow fighters, promoters, and analysts. Though, his most personal might be with Dana White. The YouTuber has gone after the UFC president over pay-per-view price, fighter pay, as well as providing healthcare for fighters – and has even invested into the UFC’s parent company to try and make his mark. While White has tried to distance himself from the beef, Jake has continued it, and has even got a fan in UFC heavyweight king Francis Ngannou, who says he agrees with what the social media star is saying. The Cameroonian fighter – who has reportedly ‘negotiated’ with Jake for a fight – posted an interview to YouTube on February 18, where he was quizzed about the “Twitter war” that has been unfolding over the last few months. “I follow all the stuff, I am aware of what’s happening, you know,” Ngannou started. “Jake Paul has his own way of communicating, which is a little different. Maybe not the same way as I will communicate but in the meantime, I can’t blame him. I’m 100 percent with him for what he says. “When he claimed for fighter healthcare, oh, I am 100 percent down with that. He claimed for a fighter pay increase, I’m 1000 percent down for that,” he added. “So, the fighters are not protected, fighters are all out there on their own and nobody looks up to them. They are putting their body on the line for something. At least give them healthcare. I’m 1000 percent down for that.” Timestamp of 5:37 While Jake has tried to make inroads to effect change in the UFC, and has some support, nothing has happened just yet. It could be a long road for him to enact change but if more fighters throw their support behind him like Ngannou, well, who knows what could happen.

Jake Paul claims former Team 10 member was “paid” to make sexual assault allegation – Dexerto
Jake Paul claims former Team 10 member was “paid” to make sexual assault allegation YouTube: Graham Bensinger / YouTube: Justine ParadiseJake Paul, on the eve of his boxing rematch Tyron Woodley, has defended himself from sexual assault allegations leveled by former Team 10 member and TikToker Justine Paradise again, claiming she was “paid” to make the claims back in April 2021. Days out from his fight against Ben Askren, Jake Paul was accused of sexual assault by former Team 10 member Justine Paradise. In an April 9 video, Paradise claimed she was assaulted in July 2019. According to her account of the events, the two were dancing together in his room before Paul tried to have sex with her without asking for her consent. Paul denied the claims at the time, saying it was “100% false” and “a blatant attempt for attention during a highly visible fight week.” He also claimed he would pursue legal action to make sure “they’re held accountable for the things they’re saying because they’re not true.” Just before his next fight, this time a rematch against Tyron Woodley, Paul has defended himself again, recounting to Graham Bensinger how the allegations affected him. “When you get sued for some ridiculous thing, it’s just awful. It’s time-consuming, it takes a toll on your life, and it’s very expensive. No matter what, you want to settle. You don’t want to end up in court,” he said, talking about the lawsuits filed against him. “We live in a society where someone can make a claim about an individual and it could ruin things in their life forever. I was like ‘this is absurd, this is a lie.’ It made me sick to my stomach and before you know it, people from the event [are like] ‘this sponsor’s pulling out, we might have to cancel the fight’. “I’ve never laid a finger on a girl without their permission, and it’s devastating to be accused of such a thing.” Jake Paul added he believes someone paid Paradise to make the claims: “I think someone paid her to do it. 100%. Something like that doesn’t come out 6 days out from a massive fight.” Lawsuits forced Paul to “put the camera down” on YouTube Since the allegations came to light, Jake Paul has pivoted almost entirely to focusing on his boxing career with the occasional YouTube video. The star said the sexual assault claims, and the lawsuits that followed, was “part of [his] decision” to stop creating content. “They all came from YouTube and making content,” he stated. “It all stems from filming videos and people being pissed off. It’s pretty easy to identify the problem, and it’s part of my decision to stop filming, to just put the camera down. It’s just a vicious and never-ending cycle. “I made it out of the situation with my brother in Japan where I lost all my money — made it out squeaky clean — just for one day to wake up and it felt like the cycle was repeating itself.” Jake Paul concluded his tell-all by saying “there needs to be criminal punishment for this type of sh*t, for people who accuse people of things they didn’t do.” Paradise is yet to respond to Paul’s latest claims.

Jake Paul gets matching tattoo with OnlyFans girl but you won’t find his easily – Dexerto
Jake Paul gets matching tattoo with OnlyFans girl but you won’t find his easily Instagram: Jake Paul / Sky BriIt turns out YouTube boxing star Jake Paul didn’t just share a kiss with Onlyfans and Instagram model Sky Bri a few days after he split with his ex-partner Julia Rose, but they also got matching tattoos. The younger Paul brother is one of the most infamous YouTubers in the game, amassing over 20 million subscribers on the platform, with an added 19 million fans on Instagram. The 25-year-old content creator currently boasts an undefeated 5-0 record with more fights on the horizon, as he returns to the ring this August to face an unconfirmed opponent. In his not-so-private life, sources reported the YouTuber broke up with Instagram model Julia Rose in early March of 2022, sparking an overwhelming response from fans. On March 9, an Instagram story shared by Richelle Knupps showed Paul making out with another model by the name of Sky Bri, as they lay on a sunny beach. The photo caption said: “Long week with my babies,” showing that he had moved on fast. Jake Paul and OnlyFans model get matching tattoos On March 29, exclusive media obtained by Dexerto shows the pair have taken things to the next level by getting matching tattoos of each other’s names. As seen in the video clips and images below, the two tattoos show their names inside heart shapes. Jake’s is positioned in a place you may not see in public – hidden by his clothing – as he was inked on his inner thigh. “I would have thought that you like would like, go crazy,” Paul said while getting the tattoo. It reads “Skylar RARA,” Skylar being Bri’s real name, and RARA meaning pretty girl. Opting for another position, images show Skylar choosing to get “Jakey P” on the back of her neck. This will also be hidden most of the time by the model’s long hair. The couple’s body art may not explicitly read as ‘Jake Paul’ or ‘Sky Bri,’ but they are matching, nonetheless. Whether or not the couple is in it for the long haul remains to be seen, though it’s certainly a bold move early in the relationship.

Jake Paul flooded with fight challenges following Askren KO: Dillon Danis, FaZe Temperrr, more – Dexerto
Jake Paul flooded with fight challenges following Askren KO: Dillon Danis, FaZe Temperrr, more Logan Paul/FaZe Temperrr/Dillon DanisJake Paul opened up Twitter after his knockout victory over Ben Askren on April 17 to a slew of challengers from all over the world vying to be his next opponent — from professional fighters to fellow influencers looking to take him down. Even though he was favored by oddsmakers, Jake Paul still managed to shock the world when he scored a victory by KO against UFC fighter Ben Askren in less than a minute during the PPV Triller Fight Club event on April 17. Along with another win under his belt, the YouTuber-turned-boxer also seems to have his pick when it comes to opponents to face next, with all kinds of challenges coming his way. https://twitter.com/dillondanis/status/1383643976603815938?s=20 Shortly after the fight was in the books, American MMA fighter Dillon Danis — who’s had plenty of back and forth with Paul before — tweeted he was “100%” down to strap on the gloves and step in the ring next. “It’s on 100% send me the contract let’s do this I’m gonna put this c**t out cold,” Danis wrote, not leaving much room for speculation on his feelings about the potential matchup. It’s not just pro fighters that want a piece of the younger Paul brother, either; FaZe Clan founder and owner Thomas ‘FaZe Temperrr’ Oliveira also offered to provide him an opponent that wouldn’t go down in under a minute, as Askren had. “Lmk if u wanna fight someone that will actually fight back @jakepaul,” Temperrr said, along with a picture that definitely makes it seem like he’s in better fighting shape than Paul’s most recent opponent (sorry, Ben). https://twitter.com/Temperrr/status/1383851142484938762?s=20 British YouTuber Joe Weller didn’t challenge Paul himself – instead, he suggested a very intriguing potential matchup for the blooming fighter against longtime rival KSI. “KSI vs Jake Paul is the natural fight that people want – give them it,” Weller argued, and we have to agree somewhat, as the storyline is already there following Jake’s win over KSI’s brother Deji back in 2018. KSI himself hasn’t put anything out regarding the Askren fight on social media at the time of writing, though. KSI vs Jake Paul is the natural fight that people want – give them it 😴😴 — Joe Weller (@joe_weller_) April 18, 2021 So, it’s clear Jake will have no shortage of opponents raring to go the next time he wants to book a fight, but what about who the newly 3-0 boxer wants to face, himself? Read More: Dixie D’Amelio takes shots at people upset by her & Charli’s appearance at Jake Paul fight – Despite his rivalry with Danis, Paul Tweeted the day after dropping Askren that he apparently wants to square up against former UFC Lightweight Champion Dustin Poirier.

But it’s clear that there are plenty of people out there chomping at the bit to stop his hype train in its tracks.

Jake Paul floors Airrack in YouTube sparring match – Dexerto
Jake Paul floors Airrack in YouTube sparring match Jake Paul, YouTubeYouTube star Jake Paul took his talents to the pro boxing ring in January, defeating fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib by TKO in the first round — and now, he’s taken out yet another content creator. Following his victory over Deji Olatunji in August 2018, Jake met with Gib in Miami for his first professional bout a year later, kicking off his fighting career with a solid win in front of thousands of viewers. However, that wasn’t the end of his exploits against fellow YouTubers, as revealed in a video uploaded on May 7 that included a surprise boxing match against another social media star. During this vlog, Paul was notified that fellow YouTuber Airrack was on his way to the Team 10 mansion — along with the $90,000 couches he’d bought from Logan Paul just a month earlier. Using the couches as a prize, Airrack challenged Paul to an impromptu sparring match (but not before he signed a contract in case of any serious bodily injury, of course). With Paul being somewhat inebriated and having the entire ordeal thrown on him last minute, viewers wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up going down — but that wasn’t the case, with the Team 10 founder actually downing Airrack in the very first round. That’s not all; after downing Airrack once more, Paul seemed to knocked his opponent out, with Airrack falling slump to the canvas. “Hey, he lasted longer than Gib!” Jake remarked. “That’s kind of embarrassing!” “I gotta show respect to the Jake-man,” Airrack commented. “The kid hits hard. You gotta respect it. At the same time, I jumped in the ring — gotta respect that, too.” Of course, having won the sparring match, Paul was presented with his “prizes,” which had been customized by YouTube celeb and artist ZHC with a special design. It doesn’t seem like Paul was too impressed with the pieces, though, noting they would be good furniture for his dogs. Jake’s thoughts aside, it seems that the story of the Logan Paul’s couches has finally come full circle in an unexpected twist — and while Logan was able to get rid of them, they still haven’t left the family, it seems.

Jake Paul flexes $500,000 ‘Most Valuable Boxer’ belt before Tyron Woodley rematch – Dexerto
Jake Paul flexes $500,000 ‘Most Valuable Boxer’ belt before Tyron Woodley rematch YouTube: Jake Paul, SHOWTIMEJake Paul is set to face off against Tyron Woodley in his first-ever boxing rematch — and he’s making sure he enters the ring in style. YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul is widely known for his bombastic personality, especially when it comes to his budding career in combat sports. The self-proclaimed ‘Problem Child’ commissioned a $100k likeness of KO’d Conor McGregor on a chain, and even purchased a giant, walking robot to give fans a taste of ‘Reel Steel’ on fight night. However, his latest flex isn’t something anyone expected — and it’s far more expensive than boxing enthusiasts could have predicted. Jake Paul reveals $500k boxing belt On December 16, the day of the official press conference for his upcoming rematch against Woodley, Paul showed off a $500,000 custom boxing belt on his Instagram page. We’re not sure what he won, exactly, to earn such a pricey token but the YouTuber claims it’s a ‘Most Valuable Boxer’ belt, a reference to his promotion company, ‘Most Valuable Promotions.’ Calling the belt his “Christmas present,” Paul said the accessory contains “a Hermes Birkin bag sewed into the side, as well as a diamond Cartier and Rolex watch.” View this post on Instagram The luxury belt was hand-painted by artist Alec Monopoly, a well-known street artist hailing from New York City, and features a slew of bright colors and paint splatters to give it a unique vibe. The reveal of this belt follows a statement from Paul during his open workout a day prior, where the boxer teased wearing the “never before seen… the most expensive fight trunks in the history of boxing.” (Topic begins at 2:30:44) Saying he had a “couple more surprises” for viewers come fight night, there’s no telling what the ‘Problem Child’ has up his sleeve next… but fans are hopeful it’s a thrilling performance in the ring against Woodley.

Jake Paul flexes his new $16M mansion in Puerto Rico – Dexerto
Jake Paul flexes his new $16M mansion in Puerto Rico YouTube; Jake PaulYouTube-boxer Jake Paul is showing off his luxurious new pad in Puerto Rico, valued at a whopping $16 million, complete with a 6-car garage, a pool, and more. Jake Paul is one of the internet’s most prolific influencer-boxers. First gaining fame on Vine, Jake moved on to YouTube where he infamously founded the ‘Team 10’ content house. However, Team 10 quickly dissolved, leaving Jake hungry for more… and that’s where boxing came in. Following his debut match on the Logan Paul vs KSI card in 2018, Jake set his sights on becoming a major force in the combat sports world. Come 2023, Jake’s got several major fights under his belt, including bouts against Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, and soon, Nate Diaz… and considering his reportedly massive fight purses, it’d make sense that he wants to spend his cheddar on a nice living space. Jake Paul shows off $16 million Puerto Rico mansion On May 31, 2023, Jake Paul took his fans on a tour of his ‘humble’ abode in a high-energy YouTube vlog. Jake now lives in Puerto Rico alongside his big bro, Logan Paul, who notably moved to the island in February 2021 partially due to tax reasons. Jake claims that his new mansion is valued at a whopping $16 million. The space is 12,800 square feet and comes with a 6-car garage, a swimming pool (and multiple other water features), eight bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, and even a guest house. Paul’s pad also boasts a music studio (for the inevitable sequel to ‘It’s Everyday Bro’) and a man-cave in the lower floors where he plans to put in a poker table to complement his billiards table and arcade games. Jake’s also making sure that he keeps his family close and lives right next door to his big bro, Logan Paul, who showed off his own Puerto Rican pad just a few months earlier. However, we’ve gotta say that Logan’s collectibles outshine Jakes (at least for now), considering that he’s got a literal Triceratops skull chilling in his bedroom. Jake’s move to Puerto Rico happened after selling the Team 10 mansion in early 2021 and relocating to Miami. Now, both he and Logan are making their home in the Caribbean — and it looks like they’re living life to the fullest.

Jake Paul fires back after being criticized for divisive anxiety tweet – Dexerto
Jake Paul fires back after being criticized for divisive anxiety tweet YouTube: ImpaulsiveAfter his controversial tweet on anxiety landed him in hot water, Jake Paul has expanded on his mindset and fired back at those who looked to tear him down over the divisive statement. Just days after a since-deleted tweet went viral and caught the attention of thousands around the world, Jake Paul took to his brother’s Impaulsive podcast in an attempt to clarify his statement and share his own experiences with the mental health disorder. Rather than backtracking on his removed post, the YouTuber reaffirmed his position and slammed those who criticized him for sharing his thoughts. “Remember that anxiety is created by you,” his February 20 tweet stated. “Sometimes you gotta let life play out and remind yourself to be happy & that the answers will come. Chill your mind out, go for a walk, talk to a friend.” When put under the spotlight and questioned by both his brother Logan Paul and fellow Impaulsive host Mike Majlak, he bluntly expressed that he feels “like [he’s] half right.” “You can let [negative thoughts] keep going and get more anxious, or you can realize that I’m doing this to myself, these are my thoughts and you can control your thoughts,” the YouTube star stated. Explaining that he “didn’t even know there were people who were chemically imbalanced and couldn’t control it,” he grew agitated and questioned, “why [he] would know that?” Wanting to share his experiences dealing with the mental health disorder, the newfound professional boxer argued that no one should be able to criticize him for laying out his mindset and raising awareness on the matter. “Who the f*** is going to tell me I can’t talk about this so that a younger kid, who maybe doesn’t know that they have anxiety, finds out about anxiety, learns how to deal with it and moves forward,” he said. “People are attacking you because the platform you hold is massive,” Majlak countered, emphasizing that due to his reach, he should be held to a higher standard. “You’re a massive global entity that speaks to millions.” “I don’t know what the f*** I’m doing,” Jake swiftly responded. “I understand that and I get that, but you can’t be fu**ing perfect.” everyone clowning my tweet but it’s now spreading more awareness about anxiety which i didn’t even know was a thing till I was 18 but had it my whole life & never knew how to deal with it🤷🏼♂️ if u think u have it or wanna deal with it try reading this👇🏼https://t.co/orknebThfw — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) February 18, 2020 Despite having taken down the initial tweet, it seems as though the Paul brother is still of the mindset that most of his statement was accurate and that he should not be slammed for raising awareness of the mental health disorder.

Jake Paul fires back at “haters” after charging $50 for Tana Mongeau wedding stream – Dexerto
Jake Paul fires back at “haters” after charging $50 for Tana Mongeau wedding stream Denise Truscello / WIREIMAGEPopular YouTuber and groom Jake Paul responded to community backlash for charging $50 to watch his wedding with fellow social media influencer Tana Mongeau. The young YouTube star shocked his fans when he announced a speedy wedding proceeding with Mongeau, but made sure to let “loyal” fans be a part of the celebration by signing up for the livestream for all of the night’s festivities. But the newly weds were experiencing a “social media uproar” from people who thought that the price was far too steep for a wedding stream. Still, that didn’t deter the younger Paul and Mongeau to go on with the pricey coverage for the event. Following his lavish ceremony, which had a fight break out in the middle of it, Jake sat down to be a part of an impromptu IMPAULSIVE with his older brother Logan Paul where he fired back to his online critics. “100%. People are going to be pissed,” Jake said in regards to potential hate for putting a price on the wedding’s livestream. “I say, this wedding cost us north of $750,000. If you want to be a part of the experience, why not. Let’s subdue our cost. This is expensive as shit.” (Timestamp at 1:14:58 for mobile viewers) While Paul openly said there was going to be free content to come about after the wedding, the reason for the high price point was “because [Jake] only wants the people who fuck with [him] and Tana the most to be watching the livestream.” What he definitely didn’t want to see were “haters” bombarding his livestream with obscene comments, which he believes would happen if the couple decided on a smaller price point of say $10. Paul and Tana’s wedding for fans only “I feel like if you aren’t our fans then you shouldn’t be watching the livestream.” Jake Paul said. “I only want my most loyal people on there.” Though it didn’t seem like those “loyal” fans bought a perfect product since many were demanding a refund due to how “unwatchable” the stream had become during the most important bits. The married life for Jake and Tana is starting on shaky waters not because of their relationship with each other, but instead between fans who didn’t buy the livestream and felt ousted as well as with the people who did buy into it and were frustrated with the outcome.

Jake Paul fires back at KSI after getting kicked from Tommy Fury’s face-to-face – Dexerto
Jake Paul fires back at KSI after getting kicked from Tommy Fury’s face-to-face Adin RossJake Paul has claimed that KSI’s team “freaked out” after he joined a virtual face-to-face with Tommy Fury hosted by Adin Ross. With their clash finally scheduled for October 14, the feud between KSI and Tommy Fury is starting to heat up ahead of their fight, where the YouTube star will be aiming to KO his opponent and prove he’s miles ahead of any other influencer boxer. Although despite his eyes set on Fury ahead of their bout, his rivalry with Jake Paul is all but forgotten. On September 16, Kick streamer Adin Ross hosted a virtual face-to-face for KSI and Fury to talk about their upcoming fight. However, talks were interrupted, as Jake Paul joined the call to weigh in with his opinions, during which he got into a heated discussion with KSI. Nevertheless, just minutes later Jake was abruptly removed from the call, and despite KSI demanding for him to be added back, The Problem Child claimed he was removed at the request of KSI’s team. “Lol KSI manager freaking out behind the scenes and making Adin’s manager kick me out of the chat! Soft!” he wrote on Twitter/X. Jake then leaked a conversation between himself, Adin Ross, and another member called Taav, who claimed he was forced to kick Paul from the conversation. “Yo I had to kick you. Their team was Spazzing,” said Taav. “Come on after they’re off to talk about it maybe?” “Don’t be soft!” Jake replied. “They need you brother. You’re promoting their fight. Not the other way around. Adin asked me to do the stream brother.” Adin then chimed into the conversation: “Let me get Jake in. Trust. KSI said add him.” “So wack,” Jake said, before Taav added: “JJ team is being wack as f**k. You can say it when you hop on.” Hitting back, KSI’s manager Mams Taylor put Jake Paul on blast, slamming him as a “fraudulent poser.” “I’d never freak out over you, you fraudulent poser,” said Mams. “Should have not ducked if you want that KSI clout. Get your attention elsewhere by fighting crippled old men.” It remains to be seen whether or not we’ll finally see KSI and Jake Paul touch gloves in the ring, with next steps unclear until KSI and Fury are done and dusted.

Jake Paul fires back at Michael Bisping with gruesome call-out for fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul fires back at Michael Bisping with gruesome call-out for fight YouTube: Jake Paul/Michael BispingJake Paul had an interesting response for Michael Bisping after the UFC legend accepted his fight offer and stated that he’d “love” to beat up the YouTuber. After a brief hiatus from actively boxing, Jake Paul is stepping back inside the ring in August for his sixth professional fight. Though, as of yet, he hasn’t announced an opponent. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has laid out a ‘hit list’ of potential opponents though, including the likes of Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya. The boxing icons are also joined by former UFC champion Michael Bisping who, despite long-term injuries, is interested in squaring off against Jake. After Jake laid out a “$1 million” offer to The Count, Bisping fired back, explaining that he’d take the fight but it’d have to be when he’s ready – which would require a few months of work in the gym. Following on from that, Jake has hit back at the British fighter and taken umbrage with a few of the things Bisping said about him in his YouTube video accepting the fight. “When I was crying earlier after he tweeted me, I was sobbing. Then I was like, ‘F**k,’ I started wiping my tears away with the $50 million that I made last year fighting,” Jake said on Twitter. “In my last fight, by the time Round 3 was over, I made more money than he did in his whole entire career.” The 25-year-old then took aim at Bisping’s eye injuries by covering his own and referring to the UFC legend having half vision. “Does this mean you respect me Michael? I think it does!” added Jake. “You’re swallowing your own words, I want to swallow your eyeball.” Dear @bisping, I challenge you to stop hosting your struggling podcast, get licensed to fight, and box me. Let’s see if that UFC belt and all the respect you have can help you beat me in a boxing match. pic.twitter.com/9Bv0bDTK1E — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) April 17, 2022 Jake also urged Bisping to find an athletic commission to license him so that the pair can eventually trade blows. However, as ‘The Count’ has noted previously, that may be difficult to do. It remains to be seen if the pair will square off in Jake’s return to the ring, or if it’ll come later down the line. Though, there is clearly interest on both sides.

Jake Paul fined over $400,000 by US SEC for “illegal” crypto promotion – Dexerto
Jake Paul fined over $400,000 by US SEC for “illegal” crypto promotion YouTube: Fight Hub TVPopular influencer Jake Paul is among a short list of celebrities that have been charged by the US Security and Exchange Commission for “illegally touting” cryptocurrency on his platform. Over the last few years, YouTube influencers and various celebrities around the world have used their platforms to promote various cryptocurrencies. Back in 2021, Jake Paul found himself involved in a variety of different crypto projects — often posting about his investments on Twitter. One of those projects was Tron Foundation Limited, owned and run by Justin Sun. On March 22, 2023, The US Security and Exchange Commission issued a press release revealing charges against Sun for fraud, as well as Jake Paul and seven other celebrities for “illegally touting” tokens on their platforms. Jake Paul charged by US SEC for “illegal” crypto promotion In the press release, the SEC detailed their charges against Justin Sun and three of his companies: Tron Foundation Limited, BitTorrent Foundation Ltd, and Rainberry Inc. They claim that the Tronix and BitTorrent tokens were offered and sold illegally and that Sun fraudulently manipulated the market to make the tokens appear as actively traded — despite no change of ownership in various sales. Along with the charges against Justin Sun, the SEC also charged Jake Paul and seven other celebrities for “illegally touting” the two tokens. The SEC claims that alongside the others, Jake promoted the token without disclosing that he was compensated for doing so, and left out how much he was paid. The others listed include celebrities Soulja Boy, Lil Yachty, Ne-Yo, Akon, and Lindsay Lohan. According to the press release, Jake Paul agreed to pay more than $400,000 in disgorgement, interest, and penalties to settle the charges. This news comes just two months after his older brother Logan Paul agreed to refund $1.3M to investors of his CryptoZoo project.

Jake Paul finally set to get boxing world ranking and fans are furious – Dexerto
Jake Paul finally set to get boxing world ranking and fans are furious YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul looks set to be in line to finally get a boxing world ranking, however, fans are pretty furious by the potential of that. Since stepping into the professional boxing ranks, Jake Paul has managed to amass a 6-0 record by defeating AnEsonGib, Nate Robinson, Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva. While he doesn’t have a win over a professional boxer under his belt, wins over the likes of Woodley and Silva have proven that he’s not just a flash in the pan. The ‘Problem Child’ does have some serious striking power and has gone blow-to-blow with some of the best in combat sports. To this point, he hasn’t yet been ranked. That’s because he has yet to beat a professional boxer. Though he could be inching closer to getting a rank from at least one boxing association. Will Jake Paul get a boxing world ranking? That’s right, the rumors of Jake getting a rank have once again surfaced as he’s been invited to the WBA’s – World Boxing Association – Centennial Convention in Orlando, Florida. The WBA have even called him a “renowned boxer” to boot, which hasn’t gone down well with those fans who believe he could be getting a rank at the event. “The world has truly gone mad, shame on you WBA how embarrassing for the sport to call him that,” one Tweeted. “This what happens when you choose money over the sport,” added another on Instagram. “F**king clown show. This is NOT boxing. He’s NOT a boxer. Hey WBA, recognize and respect the sport ffs,” commented another. “Worst era ever for boxing.” While it hasn’t yet been confirmed if Jake will be receiving a rank, the WBA wouldn’t be the first to offer him. When he was scheduled to fight Hasim Rahman Jr, the WBC were set to rank Jake had he won. Getting a ranking would add legitimacy to Jake’s belief that he can win a world championship, but he’d still have to fight increasingly difficult opponents to get to that spot. So, we’ll have to wait and see what happens.

Jake Paul finally responds to callout from ex-boxing champion – Dexerto
Jake Paul finally responds to callout from ex-boxing champion YouTube: Cavinder TwinsJake Paul has hit back after being called out by a former boxing champion, with the YouTuber-turned-boxer potentially eyeing up a fight later down the line. Since getting involved in the world of combat sports, Jake Paul has gotten embroiled in a fair number of feuds and disputes with other fighters. Many of them have been with athletes that he’s gone on to fight, but there have been a few that he’s just traded verbal blows with instead of actual ones. They’ve included the likes of Conor McGregor, Dana White, Floyd Mayweather, and even Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. So, he is going after some serious fighting royalty at times, even if his skills don’t stack up just yet. Ahead of his next fight on March 2nd, where his opponent is yet to be announced, Jake has been caught up in a war of words with another fighter – former WBC Asian champion Neeraj Goyat, and the ‘Problem Child’ is open to it. Jake Paul addresses Neeraj Goyat boxing callout Goyat, 32, from India has competed in 24 professional fights, winning 18 and losing four – and has held regional titles in Asia for the Welterweight division. The 32-year-old has been on Jake’s tail since the end of 2023, calling out the YouTuber-turned-boxer for a fight. One of those clips has landed on Jake’s radar after it got over 25 million views, prompting the 27-year-old to respond, opening the door for a potential clash later down the line. “Neeraj has made some noise. His callout video got 25M views. He’s India’s biggest and best boxer. So, it is interesting to me,” Jake said at the press conference for his March 2 fight. “It could be fun to go over to India, and knock him out in his home country. Maybe one day, but we’ll see.” As noted, Jake is scheduled to fight again on March 2, but after that, he doesn’t actually have anything scheduled. The YouTuber-turned-boxer is supposed to make his debut with the PFL in MMA at some point, but again, that isn’t penned in just yet. So, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Jake Paul finally reveals that he’s ready for a KSI boxing match, on one condition – Dexerto
Jake Paul finally reveals that he’s ready for a KSI boxing match, on one condition DexertoJake Paul has suggested that he would someday like to go one-on-one with Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji in the boxing ring, after defeating his YouTube rival Joe Weller. KSI has been strongly linked towards another bout with his Jake’s brother, Logan Paul, for quite some time, after their highly anticipated clash in August 2018 ended in a draw. However, Jake has now confirmed that he would only clash with the man his brother couldn’t beat, as long as there’s a repeat of what was dubbed as the biggest white collar boxing match of all time. After successfully defeating Weller in the squared circle, he was asked whether or not he thought KSI only wants to fight him because he would have a better chance of winning. “Exactly, 100 percent” was his response. Jake Paul also discussed potential opponents that he could face in the meantime, seemingly edging towards other YouTubers that have a bigger reach – and he’s not talking in boxing terms. (For mobile readers, the post-match interview starts at the 3:45 mark in the video below) “He doesn’t have enough clout,” he responded YouTuber AnEsonGib’s name was mentioned, but Paul certainly seemed interested in one particular opponent – Deandre Cortez ‘Soulja Boy’. “I really want to lock down the Soulja Boy thing, though. I think he needs money,” he said, before breaking into laughter. “Yeah, he needs a cheque.” KSI was quick to respond to the comments on Twitter, suggesting that he will soon release a video review of Weller’s recent defeat. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. Jake vs joe weller review coming soon fml — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) March 27, 2019 Whether or not we will see Jake Paul – or even Logan Paul – take on KSI in the near future remains to be seen, but it will be interesting to see how the latter responds in his response video.

Jake Paul fighting on Mike Tyson undercard vs ex-NBA player Credit: Jake Paul / Peterson Lee Instagram[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]YouTube star and Team 10 founder Jake Paul has confirmed that he will be boxing against ex-NBA player Nate Robinson on the undercard for the upcoming Mike Tyson vs Roy-Jones Jr. fight, marking the third major bout for the online entertainer in a seriously massive event. Following his first boxing match with YouTuber Deji and his second against British entertainer AnEsonGib, Jake Paul has confirmed that he will next be touching gloves with Nate Robinson, a former NBA point guard. This confirmation comes after a public Twitter feud between the two stars, which sparked speculation that they could be meeting in the ring – although nothing had yet been confirmed at the time. https://www.instagram.com/p/CC9jbaOAmBd/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Speculation further fueled among fans after Paul posted to Twitter that he would be announcing his upcoming boxing match the next day – but it seems like his announcement came a bit earlier than expected, after both fighters confirmed their bout with The Athletic. fresh outta london tomorrow fight announcement coming I love y’all the next couple months are gonna be wild pic.twitter.com/LalUADBxa3 — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) July 23, 2020 When will Jake Paul vs Nate Robinson happen? Jake Paul vs Nate Robinson will take place on September 12th on the undercard of the highly-anticipated bout between boxing legends Mike Tyson and Roy-Jones Jr. The locale has been set for the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. The two will fight for eight rounds, three minutes each, in the 185 pound weight class (as reported by Brandon “Scoop B.” Robinson via his podcast). “I wanted to show that I’m a world-class athlete,” Robinson told the Athletic’s Shams Charania. “I played college football, played in the NBA for 11 years, and I’m excited for this venture into boxing. Jake Paul, I want all the smoke.” Former NBA guard Nate Robinson and YouTube star Jake Paul make it official: They tell me they will be fighting Sept. 12 as an undercard to Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. in California. pic.twitter.com/ClEP64JZFp — Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) July 23, 2020 “I am excited to partner with Thriller and get in the ring to fight an elite athlete,” Paul commented. “But make no mistake, on September 12, Nate will meet the canvas early.” With two victories under his belt, it makes sense that Jake Paul is anticipating an early victory – but considering the status of his next opponent, there’s no telling how their match will ultimately play out. Stay tuned to Dexerto for more coverage of this developing story.

Jake Paul finally bites back at KSI as rival won’t stop mocking Tommy Fury loss – Dexerto
Jake Paul finally bites back at KSI as rival won’t stop mocking Tommy Fury loss YouTube: Jake Paul/KSIJake Paul has taken a shot at KSI and his rumored next opponent, Joe Fournier, after the Brit continued mocking Jake’s loss to Tommy Fury. At the end of February, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury finally settled their beef inside the boxing ring, as Fury defeated his longtime rival via a split decision. It marked the end of Jake’s undefeated boxing record, and while he’s eager to get a rematch, KSI has been using the defeat as fuel to mock him. As soon as the fight was over, the British YouTuber took a victory lap on Twitter, taking shots at Jake Paul fans, the content creator himself, and everyone else he could think of. Naturally, there has been some back and forth between them as a result, with it only furthering interest from fans about seeing them fight. Jake Paul mocks KSI over rumored opponent Joe Fournier Well, the pair have traded online jabs again, as KSI went after Jake following reports about just how successful the pay-per-view sales for the fight against Tommy had been. Most Valuable Promotions, Jake’s promotion company, reported that the fight had sold 775,000 pay-per-views, to which KSI responded “still lost.” It took Jake a few minutes to respond to that, but when he did, he zeroed in on KSI’s rumored next opponent – Joe Fournier. “Good luck with your next one,” Jake tweeted, attaching a photo of Fournier’s record, in which his opponents were a combined 29-116. Even though Fournier has held a WBA international title, and has suffered one defeat so far, Jake was clearly implying that KSI is hardly eyeing up extremely difficult fights. It hasn’t been confirmed as to who KSI will fight next, and the Brit has called out a few names. Though, he does want to buff up his record before he possibly fights Jake. So, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Jake Paul finally meets Dillon Danis, with a surprising outcome – Dexerto
Jake Paul finally meets Dillon Danis, with a surprising outcome Jake Paul, Twitter / MMA FuryPopular YouTubers Jake and Logan Paul were partying in New York City for the holidays when they met up with mixed martial artist Dillon Danis – who Jake Paul has openly challenged to fight in the past. Despite Jake’s savage challenge toward Danis in early November, it looks like the two personalities have since made up, as evidenced by a post from Logan’s Instagram story. Logan posted a picture of Jake and Danis in close proximity, as if trying to hear each other over the hubbub of the club. While the two appeared to be getting along, Logan captioned the photo, “Fml, hands about to be thrown,” in reference to their apparent beef. Jake Paul had previously called out Danis in a Tweet on November 3, where he bragged to the fighter that he could “beat his ass.” Danis retaliated via his Instagram story, answering, “Me, 100%,” when asked if he could beat Jake Paul in a fight. Danis went on to return Jake’s sentiments by flipping him the bird, allegedly saying, “Fuck Jake Paul,” in response to Jake’s Tweet. Jake isn’t the only Paul brother hoping for a chance in the octagon, either; Logan has been open about his desire to fight in the UFC, calling out the org’s president, Dana White, for refusing to sign him. Both Paul brothers have claimed that their involvement in the UFC would turn White a nice profit, referencing their own pay-per-view boxing match from late August alongside CM Punk’s stint in the organization in June.

Jake Paul fears “broke” Floyd Mayweather might never pay money he owes Logan – Dexerto
Jake Paul fears “broke” Floyd Mayweather might never pay money he owes Logan IG: Mayeather / YT: Jake PaulJake Paul fears Floyd Mayweather might never pay Logan the money he allegedly owes him from their boxing fight, claiming the former champion is broke and owes lots of people money. Logan Paul “broke the simulation” after going the distance against boxing legend Floyd Mayweather during an exhibition match back in June 2021. However, Logan revealed he still hasn’t been paid for the fight. In a bid to chase up the money from Mayweather, Logan threatened to sue him. He also claimed Mayweather doesn’t have all the riches he claims to have and threatened to expose him. Charlie Parsons from FightHub TV asked Jake Paul if Mayweather had finally paid Logan. “Not, not yet,” said Jake. “Floyd Mayweather is broke. That’s what a lot of people don’t realize. “He gets these big cheques and doesn’t pay taxes on them. Then the IRS comes hunting him down later.” His claims haven’t been substantiated. Still, the younger Paul brother is convinced Logan might never see the money. “He owes a lot of people I know money. Logan is deep down on that list. So, I don’t know if Logan will ever get paid. It’s kind of f**ked up!” Mayweather responded to the lawsuit threats, claiming it typically “takes a while” for boxers to receive the money they’re owed. He also told Logan he “shouldn’t trip” in the meantime. There’s been no mention of the potential lawsuit since. However, Logan urged Mayweather to finally pay him after his next fight, which takes place on Saturday May 14 in Dubai.

Jake Paul claims he’ll fight anyone at YouTubers vs TikTokers who “impresses” him – Dexerto
Jake Paul claims he’ll fight anyone at YouTubers vs TikTokers who “impresses” him Instagram: Jake PaulThe influencer boxing ring is expanding with a new card featuring a dozen social media stars from both YouTube and TikTok. However, the self-proclaimed “Don Dada,” Jake Paul, says he will be watching eagerly to find his next worthy opponent. What started as beef between Logan Paul and KSI has turned into a multi-million dollar endeavor. YouTubers around the world are taking to the boxing ring in droves, and there’s been no bigger step than the new “YouTubers vs TikTokers” fight. Influencers from both platforms will be clashing on a card filled with rivalries on June 5, featuring 14 fighters. KSI’s younger brother Deji, ACE Family’s Austin McBroom, FaZe Jarvis, Bryce Hall, Vinnie Hacker, and more have been listed on the card. The event has turned heads in influencer circles, and it’s got some of the self-proclaimed “Kings” of YouTube boxing on notice. Jake Paul, who’s currently prepping for his bout against retired UFC fighter Ben Askren on April 17, has congratulated the fighters on the card. However, that’s not all, because he’s also challenging them if they can “impress” him. “Happy and proud of some of my brothers and previous opponents who will be fighting in the [YouTubers vs TikTokers] event. I hope you guys take it [seriously] and give it your 110% effort,” he said in a March 18 Twitter post. “If any one of y’all impress me that night with a performance, I just might let you step into the big leagues for a chance at the Don Dada.” Paul also couldn’t help but take a jab at Nate Robinson too by saying “Nate learned the hard way, don’t make the same mistake.” The former NBA star, who’s not on the new card, was handily beaten by Paul in their 2020 bout. Tanner Fox, one of the YouTube fighters, has taken Paul’s words to heart. Fox replied to Paul’s tweet saying he’s “bouta go crazy.” Jake Paul’s expectations are sky-high. This is the man who challenged Conor McGregor after all. However, he may look to bring up one or two of these grassroots fighters to the big leagues as he “continues to lead this movement of bringing more eyeballs” to boxing.

Jake Paul reportedly eyeing MMA debut in 2022, but not with the UFC – Dexerto
Jake Paul reportedly eyeing MMA debut in 2022, but not with the UFC Instagram: JakePaulJake Paul is reportedly in “advanced talks” to make his MMA debut this year after teasing a departure from boxing with new training footage, but it won’t be with Dana White’s UFC. Ever since Paul’s viral KO over former UFC champion Tyron Woodley, the social media star has been the target of multiple MMA legends. From fellow fighters calling him out, to UFC’s head honcho Dana White himself, he’s raised plenty of eyebrows. Amidst the string of online feuds, one particular offer caught fire in the MMA community. Paul pledged to retire from boxing if White agreed to up the pay and benefits of his contracted UFC fighters. Now, it appears a combat sports swap could indeed be in the works. However, his debut bout won’t be taking place inside a UFC octagon, according to reports from MMAmania. The younger Paul brother is allegedly in “advanced talks” with Professional Fighters League (PFL). In fact, he could be set to make his debut this calendar year, sources claim. PFL appears to be the leading choice over rival MMA promotions for a number of reasons. Namely, Paul would seemingly “retain more control of his brand.” This report followed closely behind a unique training session for Paul. Rather than lacing his boxing gloves, a new clip showed him “training kicks” for the very first time. “Glad we can help you with your MMA journey,” MMA gym Unbreakable Performance followed up on Instagram. 1st day training kicks. Doubted every step of the way.. but kick down the doors of the doubters. @bellatormma @pflmma pic.twitter.com/pA1gkCrdzE — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) January 7, 2022 Obviously, it’s not a done deal for now. Paul is yet to sign on the dotted line with PFL, though a final decision is expected imminently. Looking to prove ‘doubters’ wrong once again, the Sports Illustrated’s breakout boxer of the year would undoubtedly make headlines once again if an MMA bout comes to fruition.

Banks and Jake Paul settle their differences in a bizarre way on Hollywood sidewalk – Dexerto
Banks and Jake Paul settle their differences in a bizarre way on Hollywood sidewalk Jake Paul and FaZe Clan’s Ricky Banks appear to have worked out their issues and moved on from a potential fight – opting, instead, for a game of rock, paper, scissors. The two YouTube stars looked destined for a meeting inside the boxing ring to end their long-standing feud, which has gone on since the summer of 2017. Banks had also referred to Paul as “actually human garbage” less than a year later. Their rivalry heated up again in October 2018, after Banks had some heated tweets about Paul following his fight with KSI. The FaZe Clan member stated that he believed he could “ruin both of these kids with a tweet.” Paul and Banks finally throwdown Yet, despite apparent negotiations to strap on a pair of gloves and go toe-to-toe in the ring, the pair appear to have dropped the beef and moved on. They were caught shopping in the same store in Hollywood and when they finished up, the pair stepped outside and played up to the cameras – acting as if they were going to throw punches. After getting closer together, each in a Boxing stance, they switched things up and immediately called out rock, paper, scissors. However, despite Banks taking an early 1-0 lead, things didn’t work out the way he may have planned as Jake completed the reserve sweep to pick up a 2-1 victory. Will Jake Paul box again? After their mini-battle of wits was over, Banks explained the reasoning as to why they were together. “We’re just kicking it, we just ran into each other today and decided it’d be funny for the vlog,” he told TheHollywoodFix. With the pair seemingly burying the hatchet, it appears as if there’s no more need for heated tweets and threats of a fight. Jake Paul has continued to call people out for another foray into Boxing but with Banks now potentially off that list, his choices are becoming more and more limited. It remains to be seen as to who steps up and rivals Paul for the title of YouTube’s Boxing king and who will stay on the sidelines.

Jake Paul exposes “toxic” relationship with Erika Costell in new YouTube series – Dexerto
Jake Paul exposes “toxic” relationship with Erika Costell in new YouTube series Jake Paul, YouTube / Erika Costell, YouTubeControversial YouTuber Jake Paul has finally released the first episode of his “reality TV” style documentary series, where he revealed the events that led up to his widely publicized breakup with Erika Costell. According to Paul, he and Erika had a “toxic” relationship toward the end of their time together, claiming that they would constantly fight and even regularly break up with each other in the months leading up to their official split in early November. “For the past month or so, [our] relationship has been super rocky,” Paul admitted. “…It turned into this downward spiral where we were super toxic for each other. We know everything about each other and we know how to hurt each other.” Things came to a head during the filming of an episode of “Work in Progress” at the Team 10 mansion, where Paul claimed that he loved Erika “too much,” and ended their relationship after a conversation upon wrapping up the episode. “I knew it would be better for both of us to just move forward without being boyfriend and girlfriend,” he continued. “I’m not breaking up with her because I want to, I’m breaking up with her because that’s what we both need to be better people.” 600http://www.clevver.com/jake-paul-erika-costell-hiatus/ Paul also admitted to feeling “trapped” due to Shane Dawson’s docuseries, where he took issue with Dawson angling Erika as “the best thing that ever happened” to him. Paul teased more details on his breakup with Costell in the next episode of ‘Jake Paul Uncut,’ which is set to air Sunday, December 2.

Jake Paul extends new fight offer to Tommy Fury with big pay day – Dexerto
Jake Paul extends new fight offer to Tommy Fury with big pay day Instagram: jakepaul, tommyfuryJake Paul has extended a brand new fight offer to Tommy Fury, as their bout scheduled for August 6 seems on the verge of collapse. On June 27, Fury was denied entry into the United States, leaving serious doubts over whether he would be able to make it Stateside for his fight against YouTuber Jake Paul. The bout has been in the works for months, with Tommy already pulling out once, in December 2021. Now, with the younger Fury brother unable to make it into the States — believed to be due to his family’s links with boxing manager Daniel Kinahan, a suspected criminal that has also prevented older brother Tyson Fury from entering the States — the fight has been thrown into disarray once again. With rumors circulating that Jake already has a new opponent being locked in, with Hasim Rahman Jr. expected to square off against him in Madison Square Garden, neither Jake nor Tommy have given up on their fight. Tommy posted a statement to Twitter, saying he’s “confident this fight will happen” and that he will “fight in a neutral country that both parties can enter.” Shortly after, Jake responded on his Twitter account, saying: “I’m confident you are a scared little boy who doesn’t want to fight or understand business. I will pay you $500K to fight me in the UK. I will do it shortly after August 6. You accept?” Tommy responded, saying that he “wouldn’t get out of bed to fight you for $500k,” asking Jake to “let me know when you’re ready to have a serious conversation.” I wouldn’t get out of bed to fight you for $500k 🤣 Let me know when you’re ready to have a serious conversation. https://t.co/vYfDTqVsxv — Tommy Fury (@tommytntfury) July 7, 2022 With the entire situation still very much up in the air, this is yet another lifeline extended from Jake to Tommy, who looks likely to have to wait even longer for his big payday against Jake Paul. A fight in the UK would definitely be preferred for Tommy, with no travel concerns and able to fight in front of a home crowd. Based on what Jake said, too, this could come sooner rather than later — but only time will tell before something is made official.

Jake Paul exposes KSI’s “lying” DMs before AnEsonGib fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul exposes KSI’s “lying” DMs before AnEsonGib fight Jake Paul, KSI – YouTubeYouTube star Jake Paul may be scheduled to fight AnEsonGib on January 30, but he’s got his eyes set on KSI, who he believes is lying about the huge features in his song “Down Like That.” KSI debuted his song “Down Like That” just ahead of his November 9 rematch against Logan Paul, which he won by split-decision from the judges, thanks to a two-point deduction from Paul in the fourth round. His hit track features such rap greats as Rick Ross and Lil Baby — two artists Jake Paul alleges his rival paid a whopping $400k to appear on the song, citing purported emails from the British YouTuber to an “artist friend” of his. However, KSI refuted this allegation in a series of heated messages via Instagram, claiming that he didn’t pay for either of the rappers to help with the track (although their performance at the fight wasn’t mentioned). “These artists don’t do s**t for free,” Jake argued. “That’s not how the music industry works. So, first of all, this guy’s a liar, like I said. A lot of the UK influencers straight up lie all the time, and it just p*sses me off.” The Team 10 founder also called out KSI for claiming that his brother “f**ks you up in sparring,” retorting that he and Logan have never sparred together in their bid to become fighting pros. “He’s like a dog in a corner, like fighting with terrible information and just lies,” Jake continued. “Me and my brother have never sparred. Never in our lives, not for one second. …clearly he’s pulling information out of his a**.” Jake Paul’s heated exchange with KSI follows the Sidemen member’s own jab toward Paul just a day prior, calling him “washed up” and claiming that he “needs” to win his fight against Gib to maintain his social media “clout.” Thus far, KSI has yet to respond to Paul’s “exposure” of their Instagram conversations in a beef that could add yet another chapter to the already explosive Paul vs KSI feud.

Jake Paul exposes SoundCloud rapper for alleged theft – Dexerto
Jake Paul exposes SoundCloud rapper for alleged theft Jake Paul, Instagram / VladTVControversial SoundCloud rapper ‘Kid Buu’ went live on SnapChat on November 26, claiming that he’d stolen popular YouTuber Jake Paul’s diamond-encrusted ‘Team 10’ chain. The SnapChat in question featured Buu wearing a white hoodie, holding up what appeared to be Paul’s chain in front of the camera. Buu posted the video just ahead of another SnapChat, which read, “Fuck Jake Paul.” In the video, Buu claimed that he had “snatched” Paul’s chain, bragging that he could turn a sizeable profit from selling the necklace. “Aye, fuck Jake Paul, I got that *** chain, bruh,” Buu boasted. “I snatched that *** shit. …this shit has a bounty on it. …I can get a lot of money from this ***, bro.” However, Paul has since claimed that the chain isn’t actually his, as revealed in a statement following the debacle. According to Paul, his friend owns a chain of the same make, and had merely let Buu borrow it during the time the SnapChat was taken. Paul likewise published a Tweet during the time of the incident that could mark a possible response to Buu, simply writing, “For suuuure.” likewise made attempts to lift ‘No Jumper’ podcast host Adam Grandmaison’s pet cat in late September – although his scheme didn’t actually work out. Kid Buu was also at the center of internet controversy earlier in September, after he told podcast host Dj Vlad of ‘VladTV’ that he was a “second generation clone” who had escaped from his “cloning facility,” among other outlandish claims.

Jake Paul explains why Tommy Fury fight won’t happen after Woodley rematch – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why Tommy Fury fight won’t happen after Woodley rematch Instagram: Jake Paul/Tommy FuryYouTuber-turned-boxing star Jake Paul has cast doubts on him and Tommy Fury ever squaring off after the Brit pulled out of their fight with an injury, with Jake calling him an “embarrassment.” For months, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury had been trading online and verbal jabs about each other, covering everything from their respective relationships to boxing skills. After Fury defeated Anthony Taylor on the undercard of Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley’s first fight, he was lined up to fight the social media star in Florida on December 18th. However, on December 6th, he pulled out due to an injury. Fans were, of course, left disappointed that two wouldn’t be trading punches in the ring after all the smack talk. Even though Jake is set to fight Woodley in their own long-awaited rematch, many are already looking past it, and wondering if the YouTuber-turned-boxer will give the Fury’s a second chance. Speaking to Sky Sports following the cancellation, Jake called it “an embarrassment” for the Fury’s, especially after all the talk about how much of a breeze the fight would be for Tommy. “I question everything about that family. He has never accomplished anything himself. The only reason he is anything is because of his brother,” Jake said, claiming that all of Tommy’s prior opponents were “meant to lose.” When he touched on the topic of rearranging their fight for 2022, he was unsure about that, saying Tommy did a “terrible job” in promoting it in the first place. “I don’t like them. I don’t like anything to do with the family. They are sketchy, they are shady,” he added. “I don’t see any reason to come back next year and give him a payday.” Jake claimed that it would be “more fun” for him to leave Tommy behind and move on to other fights, and maybe offer it to him at a later date – though, he wouldn’t increase the fight purse. At the end of the day, it is the fight game and it’s tough to say never – there is always going to be interest – so, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Jake Paul exposes his past as a bully during anti-bullying campaign – Dexerto
Jake Paul exposes his past as a bully during anti-bullying campaign YouTube/Jake PaulYouTube star-turned-pro boxer Jake Paul is currently kicking off his very own anti-bullying charity, ‘Boxing Bullies’ — a project he decided to start after reflecting on his own history as a schoolyard bully. Jake Paul is the self-proclaimed ‘Problem Child’ of the internet. Using the nickname as his boxing moniker, Paul has a penchant for getting into over-the-top hijinks and pranks… and, apparently, also a past of bullying. Paul notably claimed that his path to stardom was one fraught with negativity and naysaying from critics — a statement that was refuted by his childhood neighbor, who claimed that the YouTuber was actually a bully growing up. Months after the fact, Paul confirmed these claims in a video promoting the debut event of his brand-new charity ‘Boxing Bullies,’ which aims to help kids combat bullying by giving them personal strength in the world of combat sports. According to Paul, after becoming aware of his bullying ways, he resolved to put an end to bullying by using his resources and starting his own charity on the subject. “Growing up, I was a bully. I was insulting people,” he revealed. “I was name-calling, demeaning them, and it was because I was insecure and I wasn’t proud of who I was. I thought it was funny. I thought it was funny to make fun of other people.” View this post on Instagram “Then I realized, as I got older, that that’s not cool,” he continued. “The words you say to other people can have an everlasting effect on them. Because, when I started to get famous, chase my dreams, and put videos out there online, I was getting so much hate for it. The words affected me.” “I was like, ‘Man, I can’t believe I used to target people and name-call other people,’ because I’m sure that’s affected them now for the rest of their lives.” (Topic begins at 4:26) Paul’s latest endeavor has been met with acclaim and criticism in equal measure as the influencer gears up for his August 29 bout against MMA star Tyron Woodley, marking his fourth professional fight of his boxing career.

Jake Paul reveals why he’s taking less money for Tyron Woodley fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul reveals why he’s taking less money for Tyron Woodley fight Instagram: Jake Paul/WikiMedia: Gage SkidmoreJake Paul has revealed that he’s purposefully taking a smaller paycheque for his upcoming fight with Tyron Woodley so that everybody else on the card gets to benefit. The Paul brothers, Jake and Logan, are still controversial to some corners of the internet but it’s hard to downplay what they’ve been able to achieve over the last few years. The once Disney channel stars have become internet icons and even switched their focus to boxing as their mainstream stardom has just continued to grow and grow. With Logan’s fight against Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather now firmly in the rear-view mirror, all eyes switch to Jake’s bout with former UFC champion Tyron Woodley. And while he’s made good money from his fights, he’s purposefully taking less this time around. Why? Well, it’s seemingly because of his ongoing feud with UFC President Dana White. As Jake has attempted to call out more MMA stars for boxing matches, White has been quick to shoot him down. As a result, the Paul brother has targeted UFC’s perceived underpaying of fighters, so when he squares off against Woodley, everyone else will benefit. “It’s coming out of my pockets for sure. Like, directly out of my purse,” he told the Mirror. “Everyone on the card is getting the biggest pay-day that they’ve ever had as a fighter and that’s just part of my movement. Look, these fighters deserve more and I want everyone to be excited and I want everyone to know that we as fighters should take care of each other.” Even though he’s only had three professional bouts, and while none of them have been against actual boxers, the YouTube star has fully embraced the fighting scene. Of course, if he beats Woodley on August 29, he’ll have bigger fights lined up and make plenty of more cash, especially if he finally squares off with Conor McGregor.

Jake Paul explains why Tana Mongeau doesn’t deserve her Streamy award – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why Tana Mongeau doesn’t deserve her Streamy award YouTube-turned-MTV starlet Tana Mongeau took home the 2019 Streamy award for Creator of the Year — but hubby Jake Paul believes another YouTuber should have won the coveted prize instead. Up against names like vlogger David Dobrik, late-night hostess Lilly Singh, and YouTube philanthropist Mr Beast, Tana Mongeau was shocked upon winning Creator of the Year — a sentiment echoed by her husband. Jake Paul discussed the matter during a December 21 episode of brother Logan Paul’s “imPaulsive” podcast, where he complained that many award winners don’t actually deserve the honor such an esteemed title. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6GwBaiBHDE/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Logan, understandably confused, raised the question of sister-in-law Tana’s recent Streamy win — a win that Paul believes she didn’t necessarily deserve. In fact, Jake claimed that the prize should have gone to Mr Beast, who went viral several times this year for his charitable giveaways, insane challenges, and even his massive campaign to send PewDiePie above and beyond competitor T-Series. “And let’s be honest, the people winning these awards — no offense — like, they’re not actually like who should be winning the awards most of the time,” Jake began. “Do you think Tana correctly won that award?” Logan challenged. “No,” Jake answered candidly. “Mr Beast should have won that award.” “I agree,” Logan admitted. “I don’t know how anyone can argue that.” “Congrats,” Jake continued. “But…” Jake isn’t the only one to hold this view, either: in fact, Tana herself claimed that she felt undeserving of the award during her emotional acceptance speech at the Streamys. “This feels like one of those ‘Mean Girls’ moments where I should like break it off and give it to everybody who actually f***ing deserves it, because I don’t deserve this at all,” Mongeau explained. “I don’t feel like Creator of the Year I’ve never felt like Creator of the Year.” Despite claiming that she would never win the award, Tana has secured her place in Streamy history — a win that both she, Jake Paul, and even YouTube king PewDiePie seem to contest in wake of other creator achievements, no matter the views of her own fans.

Jake Paul explains why he’s not defended Logan in Dillon Danis beef amid “bad brother” claims – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why he’s not defended Logan in Dillon Danis beef amid “bad brother” claims BS w/ Jake PaulJake Paul has, finally, explained why he’s not stepped in to help Logan Paul as Dillon Danis keeps posting photos of his fiancee Nina Agdal, with some claiming he’s a “bad brother” to Logan. Over the past few years, whenever Jake or Logan Paul has had an issue with someone else, it’s usually pretty commonplace to see the brothers backing each other. Well, provided they’re not the ones beefing at the time. With Logan building up to his fight with Dillon Danis on October 14, the former UFC fighter has made things incredibly personal. Danis has continued to go after Logan’s fiancee, Nina Agdal, posting photos of her with previous partners – some real, and some incredibly fake. Logan has stated that he’s “not fazed” by what his rival has been posting, even though Dillon claims to have a ‘nuke’ photo that he believes could see canceling the fight. Jake Paul addresses Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis beef at last While Jake typically steps in to help fight his brother’s side of things, he’s given this one a bit of a wide berth. Well, that is until now. The YouTuber-turned-boxer finally addressed the situation on a September 4 Instagram story as he responded to claims that he’s been a “bad brother” to Logan. “People are saying, Jake, you haven’t come to your brother’s defense… like, defense of what? Logan is going to knock the f*cking s*it out of this kid, that’s all that matters,” Jake said. “The rest is just sales for the fight, making the fight bigger, and making my brother more money. Defense of somebody over little, widdle, bitty tweets? Like, bro, we’re grown men here. We’ve seen so much worse than this. So, Logan doesn’t need my help defending anything.” Jake also addressed some criticism of him using the beef to promote his own sportsbook, saying that Logan would be “happy” given it is “marketing 101.” So, while things might be a little cold between them at the minute, Jake still believes in his brother’s ability to get the job done and shut Danis up.

Jake Paul explains why he’s selling the Team 10 Mansion and leaving LA – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why he’s selling the Team 10 Mansion and leaving LA YouTube: Jake PaulYouTube star-turned-boxer Jake Paul is finally selling his infamous Team 10 mansion in a surprising decision to leave Los Angeles after living nearly six years in the city. Jake Paul’s Team 10 mansion has set the stage for bombastic internet drama for quite some time now. Initially meant to house his now-defunct content collective ‘Team 10,’ the sprawling estate has since become a personal playground for himself, his friends, and their over-the-top shenanigans. However, it seems that Paul is turning the page on a new chapter in his life, as announced in a YouTube video on December 30. In his video, Paul announced that he is selling the Team 10 mansion, which is located in Calabasas, California. That’s not all; the star also revealed that he’s moving out of the Los Angeles area, entirely. View this post on Instagram According to Paul, his newfound status as a professional boxer is forcing him to focus on the sport full-time — and to become the best fighter he can, he needs to do away with the distractions that Los Angeles brings. (So, no more quarantine parties?) “I have set many goals for myself throughout my life,” he explained. “One of them was to become the biggest vlogger… This next goal is to become the biggest prize fighter in the world. That’s a large shoe to fill, and the only way to step into it is to fully immerse myself as a legitimate fighter.” That being said, the YouTube star admitted that it isn’t easy letting his $7 million home go to a new owner, noting that “some of the best times of my life have been at this house.” As for where Paul is moving? The influencer wasn’t specific, but he did hint that there are several houses in multiple areas of the United States that he’s currently looking into, claiming he’s “taking it day-by-day” at the moment. Considering his passion for fighting, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if he chooses to make his new home in Las Vegas, nor if he moved back to his home state of Ohio. For now, it looks like the Paul brothers will be living apart, having both lived in California for years. While Jake’s next home is uncertain, one thing is for sure — his neighbors are bound to be happy about this development!

Jake Paul explains why he’s done with YouTube – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why he’s done with YouTube Jake Paul/InstagramYouTube star Jake Paul said he doesn’t think the platform pays enough, and confirmed he’ll be stopping his popular vlogs on the site in a new interview. Paul has been branching out of just content creation lately, notably to boxing and a burgeoning musical career, which he says is much more worthwhile than simply making videos. While out to drinks with ex “wife” Tana Mongeau and some other friends, Jake definitely made it seem like he’s reconsidering his relationship with the site that’s, arguably, had a good deal to do with bringing him into the mainstream. In response to his music career taking off, Jake called YouTube a “dead-end” and assured fans that he’ll be just fine financially without focusing on videos as much. “Yeah, I don’t f**k with that YouTube s**t, it’s a dead-end,” Paul told The Hollywood Fix outside a bar. “They don’t pay s**t, f**k you YouTube. Nah, I make my money in other ways, I’m the owner of Fanjoy.” Fanjoy is a merchandise company that partners with various content creators such as David Dobrik, Addison Rae, and more. Chris Vaccarino is listed as the founder and CEO, and while Jake’s full involvement isn’t known, he certainly makes a kickback from any of his merch that’s sold on the site. Business dealings aside, a split with the video-sharing site wouldn’t be the first time Paul has had to potentially switch platforms. After getting his start on Vine, he had completely moved to YouTube by the time the app closed down in 2016. There’s one other thing that, while Jake didn’t touch on it in the interview, could have something to do with him cutting down on YouTube content. That is the infamous FBI search warrant of his home on August 5. While he has clarified that the raid was “entirely related” to his appearance at a looting in Scottsdale, Arizona in May, it’s understandable why he would want to take a step back from the camera for a while, at least, the ones documenting his daily life for everyone to see.

Jake Paul explains why he’s not afraid of any pro boxers amid rumors of next opponent – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why he’s not afraid of any pro boxers amid rumors of next opponent Instagram: Jake PaulJake Paul has explained why he doesn’t fear anyone in the world of boxing, especially when it comes to figthers in his weight class. Ever since Jake Paul got involved with boxing and started racking up a pretty impressive record, doubters have urged him to fight someone who has boxed their whole life. The number one name that fans have gone to is that of Tommy Fury. He and Jake have had a long-standing rivalry on social media, and have tried to fight two times before. Though, Tommy has pulled out of both. Given that Jake returned to challenging Mixed Martial Artists in place of Tommy, some have suggested that he doesn’t actually want to fighter a ‘real boxer’. However, the ‘Problem Child’ says he’s not afraid of anyone. Jake Paul explains why he won’t shy away from any boxers The YouTuber-turned-boxer appeared on Anthony Pompliano’s podcast to discuss his investments, boxing career, and beefs with other content creators. Naturally, the topic of who he could fight next came up. “I mean, anyone in my weight class, I don’t give a f*ck. I will go in there and give everyone a run for their money and that’s right now,” Jake said about not shying away from any opponent. “You give me two more years, I’m getting exponentially better each year. I have the best coaches, I have the best training regime, and I have the best everything around me so I’m exponentially getting better. “I want it more than all of these fighters because they have been doing their whole life and they’re going through the motions, doing what they’ve always done. I’m the new kid on the block, I have a lot to prove. People say you have a chip on your shoulder, I have two, one on each side. I’m hungry, I’m relentless.” Timestamp of 25:10 As it stands, Jake has a handful of fight offers on the table, and he confirmed that he’s also tried to get things to finally happen with Tommy Fury. Though, he’s apparently waiting on an answer. It remains to be seen as to who he will square off with next, but fans are eager for an announcement of any kind.

Jake Paul explains why he’ll eat McDonalds before Nate Robinson fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why he’ll eat McDonalds before Nate Robinson fight Instagram: jakepaul / naterobinson[jwplayer h3XPfMqQ]YouTube star Jake Paul is training for his upcoming boxing bout against former NBA player Nate Robinson, but has claimed he’s not working on cardio and been eating McDonalds as he’ll knock his opponent out within one round. The Team 10 founder is best known for his YouTube antics, amassing over 20 million subscribers throughout his controversial spell on the site. Paul isn’t just interested in YouTube though, having also spent time working on music as part of his blossoming rap career, and turning his attention to the world of sports with his foray into the sweet science of boxing. After taking down Deji in his first white-collar bout, Jake Paul made his professional debut back in January with a stoppage victory over Brit AnEsonGib, and is now slated to take on former Knicks point guard Nate Robinson later this year as part of the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. undercard. With the fight looming on the horizon, it’s no surprise that Paul has already started training. However, the 23-year-old raised some eyebrows during an interview with TMZ Sports, claiming that he wasn’t training cardio for the fight and was eating McDonalds as he wouldn’t need to go past the first round with Robinson. After word that the Tyson vs Jones Jr. fight card had been delayed to November, Paul stated that while the postponement gave Robinson “more time to train,” it wouldn’t matter because the former NBA star is in “serious trouble” with the 10-ounce boxing gloves and the lack of headgear giving the YouTuber a distinct advantage over his foe thanks to his experience in this ruleset from his AnEsonGib bout. “I’m a dog, I knock out all my sparring partners,” he continued. “This isn’t a game, I really do this f**king sport. The agenda that people have for me is not funny. I really box.” “I was eating McDonalds the other day, and they were like ‘Should you be eating McDonalds? You’re training for a fight.’ I said the only reason it would matter is if the fight [goes] past one round, like I don’t need cardio for this sh*t. He’s getting knocked out in one round, on God.” According to Brandon ‘Scoop B.’ Robinson, the bout will take place with a 185 lbs weight limit, with pair scheduled for eight three-minute rounds. If by the end of the eighth and final round both men are still standing, the decision will be placed into the hands of the ringside judges to score based on the pair’s performances. While a judge’s decision is always a possibility, Paul is confident he won’t need it and claims he won’t even train for the idea of the fight heading into the later rounds. Should Robinson make it out of round one though, the 23-year-old may live to regret this decision, as it’s likely that the former NBA player will come into the bout in top shape, which could prove the difference between the two should the fight continue.

Jake Paul explains why he’ll never catch MrBeast on YouTube – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why he’ll never catch MrBeast on YouTube YouTube: Anthony Pompliano / Instagram: mrbeastInfluencer-boxer Jake Paul explained why he feels he’ll never live up to MrBeast’s YouTube takeover despite rocking the internet with his viral fights. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is now the single most-subscribed content creator on YouTube. The 24-year-old influencer took the title from PewDiePie in November 2022, and now boasts over 114 million subs. MrBeast’s reputation often precedes him. He went mega-viral earlier this year for his insanely popular recreation of Netflix’s Squid Game series, on top of his vast resume of high-stakes challenges and jaw-dropping cash giveaways to fans and people in need. Jake Paul, on the other hand, is also a social media powerhouse. After achieving fame on Vine, he switched to YouTube along with his older brother, and even had a stint in a Disney series before deciding to go full send on the influencer boxing game. After making his debut on the KSI vs Logan Paul undercard in 2018, he’s gone on to become the most popular influencer boxer in the world, having just defeated MMA legend Anderson Silva in October. With over 20 million YouTube subscribers himself, it stands to reason that some viewers might think Paul views MrBeast as competition…but the ‘Problem Child’ doesn’t see it that way. Jake Paul says he could never beat MrBeast’s YouTube empire YouTuber Anthony Pompliano asked Jake about MrBeast during a November 30 interview, wondering if he would have been bigger than MrBeast had he stuck to YouTube instead of boxing. “No,” Jake answered. “He’s obsessed with it and has such a deep passion for it. And so, simply because of that, you can’t beat someone who loves it more than you.” (Topic begins at 1:00) Paul went on to explain that he viewed YouTube as a mere stepping stone for greater things — and it seems that his plan worked out, as he’s now building a boxing empire that has earned the praise of Mike Tyson, himself. It doesn’t look like MrBeast’s empire will topple anytime soon, with the influencer constantly teasing bigger and better projects in the future. (And after being valued at a whopping $20 billion, it’s hard to imagine what he’ll pull out of his hat next.)

Jake Paul explains why he’d fight KSI for free & give up $20m payday – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why he’d fight KSI for free & give up $20m payday YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul has explained why he’d be willing to fight longtime rival KSI for free and forego a potential $20-$30 million boxing payday. Jake Paul vs KSI is the big YouTube superfight that has yet to be ticked off despite all the talk of the pair fighting at some point. The longtime rivals have constantly gone back-and-forth over the years about boxing each other, but we’re not really any closer to it happening. Though they ‘agreed’ to fight in 2023, KSI has admitted that he’s still a long way off getting a fight with Jake and needs a few fights beforehand. Jake, though, seems more eager to do it. He offered to step in as Alex Wassabi’s replacement on KSI’s August 27 card, and even claimed he’d do it for free. Thats a stance he seems keen to keep to as well. Jake Paul willing to take KSI fight for free ‘The Problem Child’ had rapper Rick Ross on the September 1 episode of BS with Jake Paul, when Rozay quizzed him on offering to fight KSI for free. Ross stated he couldn’t allow Jake to fight without making money, but the YouTuber-turned-boxer wasn’t fussed. “Bro, for me, this is not about the money. For history. For me knocking out this b**ch ass motherfu**er who talked all this sh*t. And if the only way he’d fight me is if he made all the money? Imma do it,” Jake answered. “I make $20 million off the fight? Guess what, Jake Paul is not worth $20 million, I’m worth a billion. So, I don’t give a f**k about $20 million. For me to cement my name in the history books as one of the craziest, most psychotic fighters ever… he was willing to fight this guy on 20 days’ notice for free? When he could have made $20-30 million? That’s legendary.” Timestamp of 44:35 While he’s willing to give up the money, of course, if the pair did ever fight, Jake would be in for a handsome payday. It remains to be seen if they will square off, though. But there is still substantial interest in happening, so don’t write it off.

Jake Paul explains why he’d rather fight Conor McGregor over Mike Tyson – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why he’d rather fight Conor McGregor over Mike Tyson Jake Paul/Instagram/Andrius Petrucenia, FlickrInfluencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul is finally making his return to the ring against MMA legend Anderson Silva, but he still has his heart set on fighting Conor McGregor – even more so than Mike Tyson. Boxing superstar Jake Paul has taken the boxing world by storm with an undefeated record of 5-0, including KOs against UFC fighters Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren. While the Problem Child has certainly made a name for himself in the ring, he’s been clear that fighting Conor McGregor would be his biggest challenge ever and has tried countless times to get the Notorious One’s attention. In a recent interview, the YouTuber explained why fighting Conor McGregor is still number one on his list of big matches despite fans clamoring for him to settle the score against KSI. Jake Paul explains why Conor McGregor is his “biggest” fight Speaking with Sun Sport, Paul claimed that for him, there would be no bigger fight than a match against Conor McGregor. “Just because the press conferences would be off the charts. And from a boxing perspective, it’s a very high-level bout,” he explained, further noting how a match against Floyd Mayweather wouldn’t draw as much attention. According to the influencer, he doesn’t think Mayweather would fight him in an actual match, but as he previously said, if Floyd put his undefeated record on the line, he’d do it. The Problem Child also dismissed a fight against Iron Mike when compared to McGregor, remarking: “Mike Tyson is older, it’s obviously still huge but that’s why I think McGregor is the biggest name there, for sure.” It remains to be seen if Paul and McGregor ever will throw down, but if the YouTuber can best Anderson Silva, anything is possible, even perhaps a fight inside the Octagon with The Problem Child teasing an MMA announcement in the near future.

Jake Paul explains why he wants to fight Nate Diaz instead of Conor McGregor – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why he wants to fight Nate Diaz instead of Conor McGregor Instagram/JakePaul/natediaz209YouTuber turned boxing sensation Jake Paul believes a potential fight with UFC’s Nate Diaz is more interesting than a long-awaited slugfest with Conor McGregor. For a long time, Jake Paul has been desperately trying to score a fight with Conor McGregor, constantly calling him out on social media, in interviews and even going as far as making a $100k “sleepy McGregor” chain after the fighter was knocked out by Dustin Poirier. However, the Irishman has never seriously entertained the idea and in the time since, has suffered two defeats at the hands of Poirier, the second of which ended with a broken ankle. Now, Jake Paul is looking past McGregor, who he views as being past his prime. (Segment begins at 17:35 for mobile viewers) In an interview with MMAJunkie, Paul took aim at the former UFC Feather and Lightweight champion. “Look, he’s this guy that was the sh*t for so long and the center of attention, and now his career has plummeted,” Paul blasted. “He’s falling off. He’s 1-3 in five years and it seems as if people don’t really care. He’s disrespectful.” Paul went on to call out McGregor’s antics leading up to and after his second fight with Poirier, saying he “just looks dumb.” “Threatening to kill people and then he’s out partying, back to drinking, hitting the clubs in LA. I don’t know, man. I think it’s over for him and I don’t think his ego can maybe accept that,” the Problem Child remarked. With The Notorious One on a downward trajectory, Paul believes a fight with Nate Diaz would be more ideal, especially with only a couple of fights left in his contract. “I think that’s a huge fight between us and I’m ready for that. Anytime, anyone, any place,” Paul grinned. “Yeah, I think a Nate Diaz vs Jake Paul fight is more interesting than a Jake Paul vs drunk Conor McGregor fight right now.” Before a fight against either Diaz or McGregor can happen, however, Paul is taking on former UFC Welterweight Tyron Woodley on August 29. After that, the rumor is that Paul will be fighting Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy, although nothing is confirmed as of yet.

Jake Paul explains why he would win blockbuster Mike Tyson fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why he would win blockbuster Mike Tyson fight YouTube: ESPNJake Paul has highlighted a big advantage he’d have in a fight with Mike Tyson as he believes he could beat the former heavyweight king. Even though he’s preparing to fight Hasim Rahman Jr. on August 6, Jake Paul has already talked about what could come next – as he wants to fight boxing legend Mike Tyson at some point. ‘Iron’ Mike, who has been supportive of Jake and his brother Logan’s venture into boxing, has been open to fighting the social media star before the end of 2022, but he has also set a pretty significant price tag on his own involvement. Given Tyson’s experience at the top of the boxing world, and serious punching power, many outsiders see it as an easy night’s work for the 56-year-old, but Jake is confident in his own abilities and believes he can win. Jake Paul believes he has key advantage against Mike Tyson Speaking ahead of his fight with Rahman Jr, the 25-year-old was quizzed on his potential clash with Tyson and how he’d feel about making that happen at some point down the line. “I would beat him. I would beat him, I’m too fast, I’m too elusive and he’s powerful and strong and has knockout power, but if he can’t hit me then he can’t knock me out,” Jake confidently told CBS New York. “I don’t believe he can hit me and so I think I would win that fight.” Timestamp of 5:00 As noted, Jake has already stated that a win over Rahman Jr would “open the door” to fight Tyson, seeing as he’d be moving up toward’s Tyson normal weight. Despite his advantage age, the 56-year-old has remained somewhat active in the world of boxing. He’s been in the gym regularly and even went eight rounds with Roy Jones Jr. on the same card that Jake knocked out Nate Robinson on. It remains to be seen as to whether or not the fight will ever happen, but there is plenty of interest surrounding it.

Jake Paul explains why he thinks Conor McGregor will avoid “$100m” fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why he thinks Conor McGregor will avoid “$100m” fight YouTube: Jake Paul/Instagram: Conor McGregorJake Paul believes Conor McGregor won’t fight him and will reject any fight offer that the YouTuber makes even if they could get “$100m” each. Over the last few years, Jake Paul has gone after a few of the biggest names in the fighting game regardless of whether they’re a boxer or full-time in the UFC.The biggest of which has been Conor McGregor. At first, the Irish superstar was reluctant to engage in Jake’s antics, labeling him and his brother Logan as “dingbats.” Though, that has changed over time, with Conor and Jake going back and forth on Twitter a few times over their skills and training videos. Jake has always been convinced that, at some point, he and McGregor will come to blows inside the ring. However, he’s now changed his mind on that front as he doesn’t think the MMA star will go for it after all. Jake Paul believes Conor McGregor won’t fight him after all The topic of a fight with McGregor came up on his October 20 episode of the BS with Jake Paul show after he noted that it’s been two years since their original exchange. When quizzed on whether or not he thinks McGregor would go for the fight, Jake said: “I don’t, unfortunately. “Just because I think he will see what I do to Anderson and he will say ‘why would I make this kid $100 million and lose to him so he can make his name off of me.’ Who knows what that guy is doing? His career is coming to an end.” Timestamp of 26:34 Jake added that him beating McGregor would be “legendary” and go down in the history books, which is what the Irish fighting superstar would want to avoid. “I’m saying that he would make my name so much bigger if I beat him,” Jake added. “He is A-side for sure and I would make less money in the fight, he would have the bigger percentage, but that’s speaking right now who knows what happens.” Jake, obviously, doesn’t want the door completely closed on the fight but he’s certain that Conor won’t go for it, which is unfortunate for some fans.

Jake Paul explains why he thought Logan would never get married after shock engagement – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why he thought Logan would never get married after shock engagement BS w/ Jake PaulJake Paul has explained why he always thought his older brother, Logan, would never get married following his shock engagement announcement. With their lives always in the spotlight, it can sometimes be hard for some of the biggest influencers to maintain relationships. Although, when it comes to Logan Paul, it seems he’s finally found his true love. It’s fair to say that the YouTube star stunned his fans on July 9, announcing his engagement to his now fiancée Nina Agdal — who he began dating just under a year ago. However, according to younger brother Jake, he never expected his brother to ever get engaged. Jake Paul reveals why he never thought Logan would get engaged In a recent ‘BS w/ Jake Paul’ episode, ‘The Problem Child’ reacted to his older brother’s engagement, where he went on to explain why he never thought he’d see the day come. “That’s f**king crazy, I never thought Logan would get engaged,” he said. “I never thought he would get married. He was like, hopeless.” Jake continued, congratulating Logan on the engagement: “I love to see you happy man. You guys are an amazing couple, very perfect fit for each other, and there’s just happiness when you two walk into the room. It’s just cute, because I never thought it would happen. “I never thought I would see hopeless romantic Logan Paul, who was just pessimistic about love for so long, find love, true love, as fast as it happened. It seems really really fast, it seems really perfect and really right, so it’s amazing.; Congratulations, Logan.” When asked by his co-host why he thought his brother would never get married, Jake explained that both he and Logan have had some bad experiences in the past with dating due to their mega-fame in the online world. “I felt the same way for a while, like there’s no one out here, this is all terrible. And then you find someone and they’ve f**ked rapper ‘x’ NBA player ‘y,’ and then it’s like, I can’t do that. It’s a cold world.” “You announce that you’re dating one of us, and it’s a million people that hate you overnight.” Jake further explained how difficult it truly is to date while in the public eye, and how it can feel like a burden. Regardless, he’s still buzzed to see his older brother find his match. With Jake recently getting with 24-year-old Dutch-born Jutta Leerdam, perhaps he follow in the footsteps of Logan in getting engaged.

Jake Paul explains why he doesn’t think Floyd Mayweather fight will happen – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why he doesn’t think Floyd Mayweather fight will happen YouTube: Jake Paul, REVOLTAlthough Jake Paul is currently gearing up for his August 29 bout with Tyron Woodley, his beef with Floyd Mayweather is still fresh in everyone’s minds — but the ‘Problem Child’ isn’t sure that a bout with the 50-0 champ will actually happen. YouTube star-turned-pro boxer Jake Paul snatched headlines after stealing the spotlight at the Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayeather press conference in May. Once the interviews were over, the youngest Paul brother approached Mayweather to talk some trash — and ended up stealing his hat, resulting in a massive brawl. The fiasco went viral, prompting speculation that, after taking on Logan, Mayweather would seek out Jake, next… but the champ had a very specific condition, should the two ever touch gloves. “”Got your hat!”” Floyd Mayweather & Jake Paul got into a scuffle at the #MayweatherPaul press conference 🤯pic.twitter.com/uFEueh6FWk — Dexerto (@Dexerto) May 6, 2021 “Jake Paul talked about me and him fighting in a real fight,” he said in a June interview with Rob Moore. “If it’s a real fight, then I’ll go down to my real fighting weight class, which is 147 pounds or 154 pounds. If Jake Paul can come down to 154 pounds, then we can see his skills.” (Topic begins at 2:24) It’s because of this statement that Jake Paul isn’t too certain he’ll ever meet Mayweather in the ring, as told during an interview after his press conference with MMA champ Tyron Woodley on July 13. “I don’t think it’ll happen,” Jake admitted. “He wants me to cut down to 147 lbs, and then he’ll fight me. So, before he fought my brother, we were ‘fake fighters.’ And now, he will only fight Jake Paul if I cut to 147 lbs, which is physically impossible for me to cut that much.” (Topic begins at 2:44) Unfortunately for fans, it doesn’t look like these two will ever face off — “not if he doesn’t want to fight me at a reasonable weight,” according to Jake. For now, it looks like this potential bout will remain a “what-if” for boxing fans the world over. Paul is set to face off with Tyron Woodley on August 29, marking his fourth professional bout in his boxing career.

Jake Paul explains why he ‘thanked’ boxing nemesis Tommy Fury for beating him – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why he ‘thanked’ boxing nemesis Tommy Fury for beating him Instagram: jakepaulFive months after losing his first boxing match to nemesis Tommy Fury, Jake Paul has explained why he is grateful for his defeat. YouTuber gone professional boxer, Jake Paul is no stranger to being open and candid about his career and opinions of opponents. He’s made millions, he’s spent millions, and he’s had nearly a million people tune into his previous boxing match with Tommy Fury, as their eight-round cruiserweight match reached over 800,000 viewers. Though his first boxing defeat against Fury was a loss he was never willing to face, Paul has now unexpectedly acknowledged Fury just five months after the fact to thank the 9-0 boxer for beating him. Jake Paul says Tommy Fury fight was a “reality check” With 12 days until his fight with Nate Diaz, Jake Paul, who is 6-1, has taken time to reflect on his most recent boxing match with Tommy Fury. Both Paul and Fury were undefeated when they faced each other in Saudi Arabia on February 26, so the outcome of the match was a highly anticipated arrival for not only the contenders but viewers as well. After eight hefty rounds, Fury ended up defeating Paul in a split decision. Paul’s initial response after the fight was to give “all respect to Tommy,” so it’s no surprise that he’s manifested that same gratitude in his recent thanks to his opponent for beating him. Now, in a recent discussion with UFC middleweight Bo Nickal, Paul has opened up about his thoughts on his defeat against Fury, saying, “I think the biggest thing – like you said – is growth. These things happen and the universe always has a plan. And I’m glad that it happened to me at this point in my life. It’s a reality check beyond just the sport.” Paul continued to explain how more often than not, people don’t see the bigger picture of why things happen in their life, good or bad. He then gave light on how he was able to change his training and mindset after his loss, saying, “I lost, and it was because of ‘xyz’ mistakes outside of the ring… now, I was able to change and learn from all of those mistakes to get better.” He also went into saying that his Fury defeat taught him lessons unforeseen, saying, “That was the whole problem, is me winning, putting all these people on the canvas. Knockout of the Year…all this money and s**t. And so you get comfortable, and there were so many lessons in the loss that — and so many things that I needed to change, that now I’ve done that and learned from to make me a better man and a better fighter.” Paul then ended his talk with Nickal thanking Fury, saying, “[a]nd so I thank Tommy Fury for beating me.” Paul’s next match against the 15-year UFC vet, Diaz, will be on August 5.

Jake Paul explains why he can beat Conor McGregor in a boxing match – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why he can beat Conor McGregor in a boxing match Instagram: Jake Paul / Conor McGregorJake Paul is confident he can beat Conor McGregor in a boxing match, and he explained why. He thinks it comes down to several factors, including a size advantage, and claims it will be a good fight. Jake Paul has been all the rage after knocking out Nate Robinson in an exhibition boxing match. He’s been searching for his next opponent ever since and has called out some heavy hitters, including Dillon Danis and Conor McGregor. Since then, he’s doubled down on the former UFC double champion and even went as far as taunting him to accept a $50 million fight offer. Joe Rogan acknowledged Jake Paul is a “legitimate tough guy” but thinks he doesn’t have a chance against either of them in a mixed-martial-arts bout. But what about boxing? Jake Paul has made it clear that he only intends to fight Conor McGregor in a boxing match. However, in a recent interview with The Nelk Boys, he explained why he genuinely thinks he can beat him. Jake Paul thinks he can out-box Conor McGregor “Are you just trolling, or do you actually think you can beat Conor McGregor in a boxing match?” asked Kyle Forgeard from The Nelk Boys. It’s something that everyone wants to know the answer to, and Jake Paul didn’t hesitate to respond. “One hundred percent,” he said. “Because he is not a boxer. So, when MMA fighters go to the gym every day, they have to work on elbows, grappling, leg kicks, knees. The list goes on. When I go to the gym every day, I’m boxing.” “He’s been fighting since he was 22,” he added, which is a little off. Conor McGregor made his mixed martial arts debut in 2007 when he was 18 years old. “He has to focus on jiu-jitsu and all this other shit [as well], so…” Jake Paul thinks size-difference will play a part too Fortunately, he isn’t delusional enough to think he can beat Conor McGregor in a mixed-martial-arts match. “MMA, he’s the GOAT. MMA, he would kill me in a minute,” he said. However, he believes boxing is a different story. “Put me in a boxing ring with him, and it’s going to be a good fight… I think I’ll come out on top,” he said. “He’s 5”9, and I’m 6”1. He’s 170 pounds, and I’m 210 pounds. There’s a size advantage that people aren’t factoring in there.” “Look, at the end of the day, it’s entertainment, right?” he added. “Boxing is a business disguised as a sport. That’s what a lot of people don’t understand. They focus too much on the sport aspect of it. It’s a business. That fight would sell 3 million pay-per-views.” The relevant part of the video happens between 1:15 and 3:00. Admittedly, he’s not wrong. Millions of people would love to see that fight happen. Some would love to see Jake Paul get mauled by Conor McGregor, especially after the taunting and trolling. Others want to know if he’ll stand a chance, let alone win. It’s bound to be a spectacle either way. Plus, in the end, boxing is a business, like he said. If it sells pay-per-views and makes them money, there’s no reason why they shouldn’t make it happen.

Jake Paul explains why he doesn’t care about being taken seriously as a boxer – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why he doesn’t care about being taken seriously as a boxer YouTube: The ShopJake Paul has explained why he doesn’t care if people take him seriously or not when it comes to boxing, even though criticism was something that ate him in the early days of his internet success. Since joining the professional ranks, Jake Paul has made plenty of waves across the boxing world, both as a fighter himself and as a promoter for his Most Valuable Promotions brand. The YouTuber-turned-boxer holds a clean 5-0 record and is steadfast in his belief that he can, at some point, become a boxing world champion. Naturally, there have been plenty of doubters along the way, and while some have given him credit for his impact and skills, they don’t see him going much further than he already has. With so many vocal doubters, it could be easy to let it get on top of you, but Jake says he isn’t all that fussed about what people have to say these days, even though it did affect him a few years ago. The social media star appeared on Uninterrupted’s: The Shop, where he was asked about whether or not he cares about people taking him “seriously” when it comes to his boxing skills. “I don’t give a s**t, you know,” Jake quickly responded as other guests weighed in and revealed their initial doubts about him stepping into the ring. The 25-year-old then piggybacked off that, comparing the noise to his rise on Vine. “When I was younger, the comments definitely affected me because I wasn’t as confident,” Jake said. “When I started making it on Vine, eventually, I became numb to it and now, I don’t care what people say unless it’s a well-crafted thought from someone who is successful and has walked at least somewhat in my shoes.” Timestamp of 4:34 The YouTuber-turned-boxer will once again have the chance to prove the doubters wrong when he returns to the ring in August. Though, Jake has, to this point, yet to announce an opponent. His eventual goal is to fight Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and grab at one world title – which he has been backed to do by some. Though, who knows if it’ll ever happen.

Jake Paul explains why FaZe Banks & Alissa Violet’s breakup is “messy” – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why FaZe Banks & Alissa Violet’s breakup is “messy” YouTube star Jake Paul released his track “These Days” in mid-December, which seems to chronicle his 2017 split with ex-girlfriend Alissa Violet — who parted ways with FaZe co-founder Ricky Banks just ahead of the song’s publication. Weeks after the song’s release, Paul appeared on Adam22’s “No Jumper” podcast, where he gave his opinions on the Banks/Alissa split in light of the track’s apparent discussion on his own romance with Violet. With Violet publicly accusing Banks of multiple acts of infidelity via social media, Paul dubbed their breakup “messy” and “sad,” accusing both YouTubers of being party of their own destruction. “It’s sad for Alissa,” Paul admitted. “There’s a lot of weird s*** to talk about there. But the sad part is, ‘Okay Alissa, didn’t you learn your lesson the first time? Like, not put your business, your relationships online?’ That’s where I think it’s messy.” The Team 10 founder went on to take shots at Banks, seeming to hint at the FaZe mogul’s hypocrisy after calling him out for being unfaithful to Violet back in 2017 during their notable feud. (Timestamp: 53:56 for mobile viewers) “Where it’s also messy is how Banks came at me so hard for cheating on Alissa,” he continued. “And made me a villain to the internet because I cheated on Alissa. And then, he goes and does the same thing, apparently.” While Banks has yet to respond to Paul’s statement on the matter, he replied to Alissa’s ample accounts of infidelity in a lengthy Notes post in wake of the drama, claiming that, although there are “two sides to every story,” “what matters is that we’re both humans and that we’ve both hurt each other.” The two announced an end to their long-term relationship in July 2019 after speculation of a fight had broken out between them, which was at first denied by Banks. Now, it seems that their romance is over for good — and it doesn’t look like Paul is intent on staying silent on the subject.

Jake Paul explains why fighting Anderson Silva would be “lose-lose” for him – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why fighting Anderson Silva would be “lose-lose” for him YouTube: Jake Paul/Instagram: Anderson SilvaAfter being asked about a potential fight with Anderson Silva, Jake Paul expressed concern that the MMA Hall of Famer may be too old to get in the ring with him. After defeating Tyron Woodley via split decision on August 29, fight fans are starting to speculate who Jake Paul will be taking on next in his boxing career. While a back and forth between the Problem Child and Tommy Fury suggests that could be the next bout, Anderson Silva’s knockout victory against Tito Ortiz has thrown more names into the hat. Following the win, Silva even revealed in an interview that he wouldn’t be opposed to taking on either of the Paul brothers. So, when Jake Paul appeared on MMA Fight hour, Ariel Helwani took the time to ask if he if was interested in taking on the MMA Legend. Jake Paul concerned Anderson Silva may be too old to fight him On the September 13 MMA Hour podcast, Ariel Helwani asked Jake Paul if he was interested in taking on Anderson Silva in his next bout. In response, Paul didn’t dismiss the possibility and even showed an incredible amount of respect to the MMA Hall of Famer, but he did voice his concern about Silva’s age. Paul explained that he doesn’t want fight fans making the excuse that he’s just fighting “old guys” to pad his record, so fighting Silva could create a lose-lose situation for him. “There’s a thing about Jake Paul fighting old guys and retired guys,” he said. “If I was to fight Anderson Silva, everyone would just be like oh it’s just another old guy when I beat him, so it’s kinda like a lose-lose situation”. Topic starts at 2:43:30 It’s obvious Paul wants to make a statement with his next fight and take on a name that’s still present in the sport to prevent fans from making excuses. That suggests a boxer like Tommy Fury could be the clear candidate when it comes to picking Paul’s next opponent. However, Paul has said he’s open to taking on Silva if he goes through certain tests, so it’s definitely not out of the question. Either way, there’s no doubt Paul is attempting to increase the difficulty with every fight, so it’ll be interesting to see who he decides to take on next.

Jake Paul’s ex-girlfriend Erika Costell plans collaboration with rival KSI – Dexerto
Jake Paul’s ex-girlfriend Erika Costell plans collaboration with rival KSI Erika Costell, KSI – InstagramWhile the rivalry between controversial YouTubers Logan Paul and KSI is well-known, it seems that the UK-based YouTuber has cropped up another rivalry, in the process – Jake Paul, Logan’s younger brother, also has beef with KSI, which could take a drastic turn in the near future. YouTuber, model, and music artist Erika Costell parted ways with Jake Paul in November 2018, following the release of Shane Dawson’s documentary series “The Mind of Jake Paul.” While Paul obviously wasn’t over their relationship in the months that followed (hello, his ‘I’m Single’ music video), he has since found romance with YouTuber Tana Mongeau – but a new development might stir some complicated feelings in the Team 10 founder. YouTubers Jake Paul and Erika Costell parted ways in November 2018, following the release of Shane Dawson’s documentary series on the Team 10 founder.600https://www.instagram.com/p/BeSHmIrB6xR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Costell posted a Tweet on June 17 asking if any UK-based YouTubers wanted to make a collaborative video with her, ahead of her trip across the pond. In a surprising turn of events, KSI responded to her request, simply replying with, “I’m down.” Costell seemed to be up for the idea, as well, writing, “Lowkey, same,” in response. While a collaboration between these two might hint at some forthcoming dirt on Jake Paul, it wouldn’t be the first time fans have speculated that both KSI and Costell were involved, in some way; in fact, shortly after her split with Jake in November, fans noticed that KSI had followed the model on Instagram, prompting a slew of rumors that the two were secretly dating. KSI even took shots at Jake Paul following their breakup, claiming that he’d “gotten bored” of Costell “Imagine being in a relationship with that kid,” KSI said of the matter during an episode of the ‘What’s Good?’ podcast. Jake and KSI have since cropped up a fierce feud between them, with the two exchanging shots on Twitter and even arranging a boxing match, following KSI’s upcoming rematch against Logan Paul in November 2019. This latest development follows KSI’s spat with Logan Paul and Mike Majlak over Twitter, after accusing the pair of being disorganized in planning for their rematch. While the fight is slated for November, no exact date nor venue have yet been announced for the bout as of June 18.

Jake Paul explains his unexpected reunion with Erika Costell at the Super Bowl – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains his unexpected reunion with Erika Costell at the Super Bowl JAKE PAUL, YOUTUBE / Erika Costell, InstagramControversial YouTuber Jake Paul has finally explained the circumstances behind his reunion with ex-girlfriend and model Erika Costell at the 2019 Super Bowl – but his story might not be what fans are expecting. Paul discussed their meeting during a vlog uploaded on February 7, where he clarified that he and Costell are not back together – despite mass speculation to the contrary. Instead, Paul claimed that they were merely enjoying each other’s company, and asked his fans to support them both as they moved on with their careers. “We were just hanging out,” Paul explained. “We were best friends before we even dated. …just talking about our feelings and stuff.” However, that wasn’t the end of his explanation; Paul went on to hint that the two might be an item in the future. “It’s complicated,” Paul continued. “Yeah, we might date again, maybe not, I don’t even know what I’m saying.” https://twitter.com/KEEMSTAR/status/1092229842223972353Some sensitive footage in his vlog likewise hints at a possible tryst between the two YouTubers, where Paul admitted to being with Costell – all the while shirtless and in a towel. “I enjoyed it, I guess,” Paul said. https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/erika-costell-shares-reaction-being-spotted-super-bowl-with-jake-paul-336574Costell herself appeared to hint at the rekindling of their relationship in a response to an Instagram post of her photo with Paul at the Super Bowl, writing, “We look so good here!” This comment appears to contradict her previous statement on the matter, where she answered with a decisive, “Oh, hell no,” when asked if she was dating anyone during a video filmed in 2018.

Jake Paul explains why being a YouTuber became “boring” for him – Dexerto
Jake Paul explains why being a YouTuber became “boring” for him Jake Paul, YouTube / Matchroom BoxingYouTube star and Team 10 founder Jake Paul is gearing up for his first-ever professional boxing debut against AnEsonGib — something that isn’t as “boring” as vlogging has become for the internet celeb, apparently. While Paul has previously expressed a desire to move away from YouTube in light of his professional fighting career, he delved deeper into the topic on January 14, during a mini-documentary uploaded in partnership with Matchroom Boxing. In the doc, the YouTuber took fans through his current training camp with coach and former boxing pro “Sugar” Shane Mosley, which included everything from uphill bear crawls to intense sprints at high altitude. During a quiet moment in the hot tub, Paul explained that he’s come to find YouTube “boring,” claiming that the sport of boxing excites him more in light of the many opportunities its apparent rebirth might bring for internet stars. “When you’re progressing at something, that’s always like, when you’re having the most fun,” he explained. “If you’re doing something… you keep on doing it, it’s the same exact thing, then it just gets old. It’s kind of what YouTube was for me. Post every day for two years straight. Cool. Get five million views, get ten million views. ..it’s just like alright, cool, I’ve done this.” In comparison, the youngest Paul brother finds greater allure in boxing, calling the sport an “untapped vertical” ripe for the taking in terms of content and profit. “There’s a huge lane for ‘celebrities’ or whatever you want to call us to make a lot of f**king noise and sell tickets,” he continued. “At the end of the day it’s a f**king business, and if we can sell the most tickets, we’re gonna make the most money and draw the most fans.” (Topic begins at 7:36 for mobile readers) Of course, Paul couldn’t finish out the video without calling out his opponent, AnEsonGib, reminding him that “judgement day is coming” ahead of their January 30 bout in Miami, Florida. Whether Paul will come out victorious remains to be seen, but both he and brother Logan are hellbent on becoming pro fighters, come hell or high water — even if they can’t ever leave their YouTube roots behind, for good.

Jake Paul drops cryptic response to fight rumors with boxing icon Canelo – Dexerto
Jake Paul drops cryptic response to fight rumors with boxing icon Canelo Instagram: Canelo/JakePaulJake Paul dropped a bit of a cryptic response amid rumors that he could be lined up to take on Boxing megastar Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez with the Mexican in-line for a fight that isn’t for the purists. Ever since Jake Paul stepped into the boxing game, he’s set his sights high on the kind of fighters he wants to eventually take on as he improves inside the ring. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has had a long-standing war of words with Conor McGregor – even offering the Irish MMA star a multi-million dollar mega fight. He’s also traded verbal blows with boxing’s pound-for-pound king, Canelo Alvarez, with the Mexican changing his mind on how he feels about the influx of influencer boxers. With rumors swirling around Jake’s next fight – including claims that he might even ditch boxing for MMA – Canelo has once again been caught up in things. On January 16, ESPN’s Salvador Rodriguez revealed that Canelo’s next opponent could be one that boxing purists might not be all that enamored with. Once those claims hit social media, it didn’t take long for a few fans to suggest that he might be referring to Jake Paul, given how many boxing purists have lamented his fights as “freakshows” and possibly even being rigged. Amid the speculation, Jake weighed in himself, responding to the reports with several ‘cold face’ emoji on Twitter. Some fans believe this means that he is actually in line for the bout with Canelo, though, others are sure he’s trolling yet again. A fight with Canelo would be pretty at odds with where Jake stands in the boxing sphere currently, given the pair are worlds apart in their skills. There has been more talk of him fighting Canelo’s compatriot Julio Cesar Chavez Jr than any other fight, seeing as the former Middleweight champion has already taken part in a cross-style fight with Anderson Silva. It remains to be seen who Jake will strap on the gloves to fight next, but there seems to be plenty of options.

Jake Paul “emotionally hurt” after first-ever boxing loss to Tommy Fury – Dexerto
Jake Paul “emotionally hurt” after first-ever boxing loss to Tommy Fury YouTube: Jake PaulYouTube star Jake Paul says he’s “emotionally hurt” after his loss to Tommy Fury, despite his boasting to the contrary after making an alleged $30 million on the fight. Jake Paul finally touched gloves with British boxer Tommy Fury on February 26 after multiple delays pushed back their highly-anticipated bout twice over. It was the first time Paul had faced off with a pro boxer of his own caliber — and it also marked his first-ever loss, with Fury winning the match by split-decision. Luckily, Paul has the chance to run it back thanks to a rematch clause in their contract, and despite losing, it looks like he came out on top as far as earnings are concerned, with the influencer bragging that he’d made a $30 million bag from the event. As usual, it seemed like the ‘Problem Child’ was unbothered by taunts from his critics after taking the first L in his eight-fight career, wiping his tears with money… but this couldn’t be further from the truth, according to the man himself. Jake Paul opens up on “emotional” pain from Tommy Fury loss Paul opened up about his thoughts on his loss in a heartfelt tweet on February 28, saying he was “emotionally hurt” by losing to Fury in spite of the money he made. “The business of the event was a massive success,” he wrote. “Doesn’t mean I’m not emotionally hurt by the loss. But I am not going to sit here and sulk. I am going to use that hurt to fuel my path forward to never feel this way again.” It’s clear that Paul hopes to set the score straight when he finally faces off with Fury again… although when that will be remains anyone’s guess. It’s well-known that British YouTube star KSI wants a piece of Jake Paul sooner rather than later, with KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, explaining that their bout likely won’t draw attention if Paul loses to Fury once again. Initially penned for December 2023, KSI vs Jake Paul might just move up to the summer, making for one of the biggest influencer-boxing matches since KSI vs Logan Paul 2 back in 2019.

Jake Paul doubles down on wanting Canelo fight after stunning Bivol loss – Dexerto
Jake Paul doubles down on wanting Canelo fight after stunning Bivol loss YouTube: Showtime Sports/Instagram: CaneloThe boxing world was left stunned after Canelo Alvarez was defeated by Dmitry Bivol, however, the loss has given Jake Paul further fuel to get a fight arranged with the Mexican star. To this point, Jake Paul has yet to fight a ‘real’ boxer during his undefeated run in the sport, but that is something he wants to set right and finally tick off. As a result, the YouTuber-turned-boxer has traded verbal jabs with a number of champions including the likes of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, Tony Bellew, and the current pound-for-pound king Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. The Mexican superstar was in action on May 7 as he stepped up in weight to fight the undefeated Dmitry Bivol. While many pundits believed Canelo would steamroll the Russian fighter, Bivol caused a shocking upset, winning by unanimous decision. So, naturally, Jake weighed in on the result. As the fight came to a close, the social media star tweeted that he’s “got next” when it comes to Canelo’s next fight, but then changed course a little after highlighting the advantages he’s got over the Mexican. “An amazing fight by Bivol. I’m two inches bigger than him, 20 pounds heavier… give me three years and I take out Canelo in the same way,” Jake said before critiquing Canelo’s performance. “He only won three rounds out of the whole entire fight! “Eddie Hearn, f**k you, you can suck my d**k. I’m coming, I’m beating Canelo in three years – I put that on my momma. Congrats to Dmitry Bivol, he showed that Canelo is easily beatable by a bigger man, which is what I’ve known this whole entire time.” Canelo Alvarez loses BADLY to Dmitry Bivol pic.twitter.com/iE4U0jyjpt — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) May 8, 2022 While the physical measurables may be in Jake’s favor, Canelo still holds a massive advantage on the skill side of things – even if the 25-year-old is able to get another few years of training under his belt. The Super Middleweight champion has stated that he’s open to fighting Jake down the road and is excited to knock him out. So, we’ll just have to wait and see if it happens.

Jake Paul dropped by his legal team due to controversial prank video – Dexerto
Jake Paul dropped by his legal team due to controversial prank video ABC News / Adobe StockPopular YouTuber Jake Paul is no stranger to controversy, with his latest debacle seeing him dropped by his own lawyers due to a prank video filmed in July of 2017. Law firm Loeb & Loeb have officially cut ties with Paul, after seeking permission to discontinue their representation of the YouTuber in an ongoing legal battle over the video in October of 2018. Paul’s lawyers alleged that the internet star refused to pay them for their services, claiming that his antics had incited an “irreconcilable breakdown” in their working relationship. “[Paul has] refused to cooperate with Loeb in the defense of this action,” the firm stated via the Blast, adding that Paul “refused to make payments to the firm for their legal services in connection with the case.” Now, a Los Angeles judge has allowed Paul’s lawyers to pull out of the case – leaving the YouTuber without any legal representation in the matter. The case was raised by Ellis Barbacoff, who filed a suit against both Paul and his production company, Team 10, for “unspecified damages.” Barbacoff claimed that Paul had blared a train horn at him, which caused “sustained shock and injuries,” as well as alleged “pain and suffering.” This isn’t the first time Paul has found himself in legal trouble due to a video, either; a lawsuit filed against Paul in June of 2018 was recently expanded to include Team 10 in December 2018, after Paul trashed a $10 million Colorado mansion during his 21st birthday celebration.

Jake Paul dons fat suit to challenge Tyson Fury to a heavyweight boxing match – Dexerto
Jake Paul dons fat suit to challenge Tyson Fury to a heavyweight boxing match Jake PaulJake Paul wore a fat suit to challenge legendary boxer, Tyson Fury, to a boxing match after his upcoming bout with Anderson Silva. Although Jake Paul’s next bout is less than a week away, he clearly has his sights set on more fights down the road. The YouTuber turned-boxer is facing off against Brazilian MMA star Anderson Silva in the boxing ring on October 29 in what is slated to be one of the biggest fights of the year. However, Jake is already teasing another bout against a different legendary fighter. Jake Paul wears fat suit and teases Tyson Fury fight The 25-year-old shared a video on October 23 of him in a fat suit hitting a speed bag. The fat suit enlarged Paul’s stomach and chest quite noticeably. In the social media post he said, “In 6 days I fight Anderson Silva, but after that, fat Jake is moving up to the heavyweight division to fight my brotha from anotha mother Tyson Fury.” Jake was previously slated to fight Tyson’s young brother Tommy Fury, but the fight fell through at the last minute. Although that fight has no date for a revival, Tommy has claimed he still wants to make it happen. Tyson Fury would easily be Jake’s biggest challenge yet, as Tyson is one of the most accomplished heavyweight boxers of the last decade, a two-time world heavyweight with a record of 32 wins and one draw. Despite Jake being in full training mode for the Silva fight, he’s clearly not content with just one bout on the schedule.

Jake Paul doubles down on $60m Kanye West vs Pete Davidson fight offer: “It’s affecting the kids” – Dexerto
Jake Paul doubles down on $60m Kanye West vs Pete Davidson fight offer: “It’s affecting the kids” YouTube: IMPAULSIVE / BigBoyTV / CThaGodJake Paul has doubled down on his offer to pay Kanye West and Pete Davidson $30 million dollars each to fight each other. The YouTube boxer claims their public feud needs to be resolved soon as it is traumatizing Kim Kardashian and her children. In March, Jake Paul made waves online after offering Kanye West and Pete Davidson a boxing match with a guaranteed $60 million payout. While some were unsure if he was trolling, the influencer has responded to skeptics and confirmed that he is dead serious.

The YouTuber explained that he was now “sick” of seeing their online feud and believes their beef needs to be settled soon for the sake of their family. Jake Paul doubles down on Kanye West vs Pete Davidson boxing match In a call with TMZ on March 20, Jake Paul opened up about his motivations for trying to make a Kanye West vs Pete Davidson fight happen. “Look I’m sick of them going back and forth on social media,” he said. “And I think it’s affecting the kids’ lives, like Kanye’s and Kim’s kids. They are the ones who are going to take the most trauma from this.” Read More: Valkyrae responds to frustrated GTA RP fans – While the Problem Child admitted Kanye doesn’t need his $30 million dollar offer, he explained to the sports outlet why he would take the boxing match. “The money might not excite Kanye. But what will excite him is beating up Pete Davidson. And I know Pete used to live in his mom’s basement. So $30 million dollars to him is a lot of money. Plus pay-per-view upside,” he continued. Paul then doubled down on being serious about the event and said it was already ready to be funded: “We already have financial backers. That’s why I said we will put their money in the bank before the fight happens. Everyone knows I was the highest-paid boxer last year. I can personally guarantee the money myself. But we do have partners and the money is there, the money is good. As for the fight’s details, Jake Paul claimed that the Grammy-winning artist and SNL star could meet at 165 lbs and box for a total of six rounds. The YouTuber ended the interview by adding that his company, Most Valuable Promotions, is ready at a moment’s notice to put on the fight if both West and Davidson agree to the deal.

Jake Paul is “done” calling out KSI for boxing match – Dexerto
Jake Paul is “done” calling out KSI for boxing match YouTube: ESNEWS / JJ OlatunjiYouTube star-turned-pro boxer Jake Paul has long been vying for a fight with rival creator KSI — but it seems that he’s officially done attempting to orchestrate a match with his opponent from across the pond. Although Logan was the first Paul brother to box KSI in August 2018, it seems that the tables have finally turned in wake of KSI’s shocking split-decision victory in their 2019 rematch. Now, Jake Paul is jockeying for a bout against the British YouTuber, even coming head-to-head with the creator just after his first-round KO over AnEsonGib in January 2020. Since then, Jake has been doing his best to rile up his rival for a potential match — but KSI has rebuffed him at every turn, citing concerns with the current global health crisis as reason enough to hold off. In fact, this particular song and dance has been happening since last year, and it seems that Jake is finally washing his hands of a potential fight with KSI after months and months of no dice. In an interview with ES News on February 9, Paul claimed that he is officially “done” calling out his rival for a boxing match during a training session at his local gym. “I found ten gyms open in London, but KSI is making the excuse that he can’t train,” he claimed. “His trainer said like, KSI — actually, you know what? I’m done talking about him. This is the last time I’m talking about KSI. I’m done. He’s washed up. F**k that guy.” View this post on Instagram Paul’s coach appeared to agree with the sentiment, stating that he was “tired” of being asked about the bout and claiming that it “is never going to happen.” “KSI is out of the question already, because even Viddal [Riley], who is a boxing guy, said look, I’m not letting him fight Jake right now,” the coach argued. (Topic begins at 2:00) With KSI out of the cards, Paul is free to focus on his upcoming boxing match against former MMA star Ben Askren on April 17. No matter your thoughts on YouTube boxing, it will be certainly interesting to see where Jake’s fighting career goes from here.

Jake Paul dismisses Tommy Fury fight offer over pay concerns – Dexerto
Jake Paul dismisses Tommy Fury fight offer over pay concerns YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul has dismissed the fight offer made by Global Titans for him and Tommy Fury to square off over claims they “don’t pay” fighters. After Tommy Fury pulled out of their fight in August over travel troubles, Jake Paul suggested that he was moving on to bigger and better things. Though, he’s not been able to completely avoid his longtime rival. Once he beat Anderson Silva at the end of October, questions quickly turned to who Jake would fight next. While a handful of names were quickly suggested by fans, Tommy was comfortably the consensus pick. The pair have gone back and forth over the last few weeks, with Jake setting a deadline of November 22 for Tommy’s camp to have things agreed. Jake Paul downplays fight offer for Tommy Fury clash With that deadline passing, Global Titans – a promotion that Tommy has fought under previously – stepped in with a quick offer for Jake. They said that they’d host the fight in early 2023 and have the card consist of fights between Global Titan fighters and those under Jake’s Most Valuable Promotions brand. However, he’s not biting. “One thing I’m never going to do is do business with people who don’t treat fighters well. Pay Paul Bamba,” he tweeted after Bamba stated that they “treat fighters very badly” and “don’t pay.” While Jake has shut down Global Titans’ offer, he hasn’t completely ruled out a fight with Tommy – even though the deadline he set for a contract has been and gone. His MVP brand has recently tweeted about being in contact with the Fury camp and their promoter, Frank Warren, so it seems as if talks are still ongoing. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Jake Paul dismisses $100 million demand to fight UFC’s Kamaru Usman – Dexerto
Jake Paul dismisses $100 million demand to fight UFC’s Kamaru Usman Instagram: Jake Paul/Kamaru UsmanJake Paul has hit back at UFC Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman for setting a $100 million price tag on himself for them to fight, claiming he’s not even worth 10% of that. After defeating Tyron Woodley in their long-awaited rematch at the end of 2021, Jake Paul has taken a brief break from boxing – focusing more on the promoting side of things. However, he will be getting back in the ring in August. As of now, Jake’s potential hasn’t been named, but there have been plenty of suitors throwing their hats into the ring – both from the world of boxing and across the UFC. That includes UFC Welterweight king Kamaru Usman, who told the Club Shay Shay Podcast that he’d want a $100 million cheque from Jake and his team to make a bout between the two happen. Well, now, Jake has responded to that price tag. The YouTuber-turned-boxer appeared on The Journey to talk about who he might take on in his return to the ring, when he was quizzed about Usman’s demands. “Usman is not worth the $100 million,” Jake said pretty bluntly. “He is like a $3-5million type of guy, but again, he’s owned by Dana, and again, whenever he gets let out of the contract, let’s make it happen. He’s easy money.” As he has done previously, Jake also stated that it’s unlikely he’ll be able to fight anyone while they’re under a UFC contract, just because it could leave egg on the face of the MMA promotion. ” It would be too much of a risk for him (Dana White) to let one of his fighters lose to me,” he added. Timestamp of 20:00 In terms of who he might fight in August, Jake is remaining pretty coy on that, repeating that he’s got a few ideas in mind. Whoever it is, his return to the ring is sure to garner plenty of interest, and if he wins, it’ll be interesting to see who else comes out of the woodwork for next time.

Jake Paul dismisses brother Logan telling him to retire from boxing – Dexerto
Jake Paul dismisses brother Logan telling him to retire from boxing YouTube: Jake Paul/Phillip DeFrancoJake Paul has revealed that Logan Paul would like to see him retire from boxing, but he’s got no plans to follow his brother’s request. As his fights have gotten bigger and bigger, and his opponents have gotten better, Jake Paul has set his sights on some lofty goals in the world of boxing. The Problem Child, who now holds a 6-0 record after beating Anderson Silva by unanimous decision, has called out the likes of Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather, and even Nate Diaz. He also wants to be a boxing world champion too, as far-fetched as that might seems. However, his brother Logan would like to see him hang up his gloves and leave the combat sport behind as it would blow the minds of fans and fighters alike. Though, Jake isn’t planning on honoring that request. Logan Paul wants Jake Paul to retire from boxing The YouTuber-turned-boxer appeared on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani to discuss his win over Silva and what the future might hold for him in boxing. That when was when he brought up Logan’s idea. “100%! Anything else that happens now is just a cherry on to,” Jake said about his own exceeding expectations that he had when he first started in boxing. “My brother just says that I should retire and leave the world and people with their jaws dropped. “That kid just went 6-0, beat some of MMA’s best, and then just doesn’t do it anymore. I’m not going to do that, but I have exceeded my own expectations. I think this is just the start, I’m really starting to get good and there’s a lot of people that I want to beat and I want to be a world champion. Timestamp of 18:00 Jake noted that he “originally planned” to retire after getting to a 10-0 record, but he now feels like he’s “just getting warmed up” at 6-0. He’s aiming to fight again in early 2023, and while an opponent hasn’t yet been decided, Jake is in talks with team over that. If he’s to finally fight Tommy Fury, he’d be willing to travel to the UK or elsewhere to make that happen. Though, he wants Fury’s team to take the risk on the financial side of things. So, we’ll see what happens.

Jake Paul denied MMA fighter as Tommy Fury replacement for August 6 fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul denied MMA fighter as Tommy Fury replacement for August 6 fight YouTube: Showtime SportsJake Paul has revealed that he wasn’t allowed to pick an MMA fighter to replace Tommy Fury for his August 6th fight in New York – and it almost all fell through. When Jake Paul and Tommy Fury announced that they’d finally be squaring off on August 6, plenty of fans were immediately excited that the pair would be settling their beef inside the ring. Though, some were skeptical it would actually go ahead. After Tommy ran into some trouble traveling to the United States, the fight was canned and Jake moved on to find another opponent – Hasim Rahman Jr. – to take Tommy’s place opposite him in the ring at Madison Square Garden. Prior to announcing Rahman Jr. as his opponent though, the YouTuber-turned-boxer was linked with a handful of fighters with an MMA background as potential opponents, including both Nate Diaz and Anderson Silva. However, he’s revealed that he was stopped from fighting someone like that. Jake Paul denied MMA opponent for August 6 fight Following the first pre-fight press conference between Jake and Hasim, the social media star appeared on Showtime’s Morning Kombat podcast to talk more about the matchup. After revealing the weight the fight will take place at, which has been pushed by the New York State Athletic Commission, Jake noted that they also had some say on his opponent following Tommy dropping out. “There were certain names that they wouldn’t approve, mostly MMA fighters,” Jake told Luke Thomas, noting his team that sought a professional boxer as Tommy’s replacement. “It sort of reversed because they were like ‘we don’t know if we’re going to approve Jake for this’. Just like everyone, this is a high-risk fight. This is insane, this is psychotic, no boxer is taking chances like this as early on in their career.” Timestamp of 3:40 Of course, while he was denied the chance to fight an MMA fighter this time around, it’s possible that Jake fights a fighter from that world at a later date. Plenty of fans are already looking beyond the Hasim Rahman Jr fight and looking at who Jake might take on next, but the undefeated boxer will present a tricky challenge for the social media phenom.

Jake Paul deserves more credit for Boxing according to former champ Ryan Garcia – Dexerto
Jake Paul deserves more credit for Boxing according to former champ Ryan Garcia Instagram: Jake Paul/Ryan GarciaFormer WBC interim Lightweight champion Ryan ‘KingRy’ Garcia believes Jake Paul deserves a bit more credit than he’s received for his boxing skills, as the YouTuber is set to return to the ring this summer. While he’s not yet got a fight against a ‘real’ boxer under his belt, Jake Paul has certainly made an impact on the boxing world both inside and out of the ring. The YouTuber-turned-boxer, who holds a 5-0 record, has scored wins over former UFC stars Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley, and has eyes to fight some more recognized boxers as he’s called out the likes of Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. Seeing as he’s yet to fight someone who has dedicated their life to the sweet science, many critics have laughed off the Ohio native’s skills, with his previous bouts being referred to as freak shows. Though, he has won over some stars of the sweet science. Lightweight star Ryan ‘KingRy’ Garcia, who has praised Jake’s involvement with the sport previously, doubled down on his praise of the YouTuber and stated that he deserves more recognition. Speaking to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, the 23-year-old said: “I love Jake, Jake’s my guy. I’ve got nothing bad to say, and I hope he keeps doing good and making the right decisions. Obviously, he’s beaten everybody that he’s fighting. Got to give him credit, he’s had five fights now. “You’ve got to think about it, most boxers are fighting guys that don’t know how to fight at all anyway. You can’t really claim that he’s doing something wrong if you’re really looking at it in a truthful aspect and being honest.” Timestamp of 1:58:48 While plenty of doubters still remain, Jake has got a chance to continue to prove them wrong as he fights later this summer. The YouTuber has not yet announced an opponent, but plenty of boxers have thrown their hats into the ring as potential contenders. So, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Jake Paul demands Floyd Mayweather finally pay Logan in possible fight contract – Dexerto
Jake Paul demands Floyd Mayweather finally pay Logan in possible fight contract Jake Paul is looking to add a clause that requires Floyd Mayweather to pay the money owed to his brother Logan should the two step in the ring. Jake Paul is just a few weeks out from his biggest fight yet, facing off against former UFC champion Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva in an exhibition boxing match on October 29. Despite him stepping in the ring with his toughest opponent to date in just a few weeks, future bouts are already on his mind. Recently, the YouTuber has doubled down on touching gloves with Canelo, and ‘The Problem Child’ has even been eyeing up an MMA debut. A possible exhibition fight with boxing legend Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather isn’t out of question either. But, Jake will look to have a few extra conditions in the contract, with one of them being his big brother finally getting paid for his bout with Mayweather last year. Jake Paul looks to avenge Logan During episode 8 of BS with Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer got on the topic of Mayweather’s last fight, and his upcoming bout against Deji — where he had a few words for the 50-0 boxer and his choice of opponents. The furious Paul brother once again claimed that Mayweather is wasting his fans’ money and time, and also ruining his legacy with “little exhibition fights” against fighters he doesn’t even know the name of. The YouTuber also noted that he’s still yet to pay his brother for their exhibition fight last year. However, should the two ever touch gloves, he plans to add a clause that forces Mayweather to pay up. “I will say, if we do fight, part of the contract will be he has to pay my brother,” Jake revealed. “I got you, Logan. I’m gonna get that f**king money back for you buddy.” (Timestamp at 2:49) It’s unclear whether we’ll actually see the two settling the score in the ring, with Jake recently stating that he couldn’t believe it’s 2022 and Floyd Mayweather is “scared” to fight him. Regardless, the hype for a potential bout is definitely building, especially after claims he’d give Mayweather a “proper retirement” if they ever fought.

Jake Paul demands ‘selfish weirdo’ Conor McGregor accept UFC fight – Dexerto
Jake Paul demands ‘selfish weirdo’ Conor McGregor accept UFC fight Amanda Wescott/SHOWTIME/Instagram/Conor McGregorInfluencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul is still trying to secure his first-ever MMA fight against UFC legend Conor McGregor and called out the Irishman in a recent interview by attacking his integrity. Jake Paul has become quite the boxing star as of late, securing a knockout against former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in his fifth-ever fight to continue his undefeated streak. On his quest, The Problem Child has frequently taken shots at Conor McGregor and demanded UFC President Dana White pay his fighters more. In an effort to kill two birds with one stone, his newest fight offer contains a stipulation that he donate his whole purse to other fighters if he loses. With the fight still not approved by the UFC and Paul saying he would fight McGregor at 175 pounds, the young YouTuber encouraged the Irishman to “do the right thing” and accept. Dana – Since you like me now, how about a 1 fight UFC deal to fight Conor. If I win, you agree to my UFC fighter pay and healthcare proposal. If I lose I donate my entire purse to all UFC fighters who make less than $50K a fight and never mention UFC again Deal? — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) March 12, 2022 Jake Paul wants McGregor fight to benefit other UFC stars In a recent interview with The Sun, Jake Paul admitted that he hasn’t earned a fight against The Notorious in MMA just yet, but a match with him would be for something much “bigger” than the two of them. “It’s about trying to create a win-win situation for UFC fighters while also providing UFC and Dana the opportunity to do the right thing,” he said. “It’s a big risk for me to go into MMA, but I am willing to do it if it allows hundreds of fighters to benefit.” He declined to say whether his challenge was under consideration by the UFC, but demanded McGregor take it for his fellow fighters. Jake Paul accuses McGregor of being selfish “Conor, you have been selfish your whole life,” he blasted. “Selfish to your family with your antics, selfish to your career with your partying, and most of all, a selfish fighter who has never tried to uplift his fellow fighters. You’re a rich little weirdo who poses, thinks cool watches and suits will make people like you.” “This is your chance to do for others,” he continued. “Accept my proposal and let’s do something that is bigger than us. I’m ready.” So far, McGregor hasn’t commented on the challenge, but he has most been a bit more open to the idea, recently saying “Who knows?” when asked about the possibility of fighting the YouTuber and even mocking one of his callouts. We’ll just have to see if the UFC agrees to make the fight happen and if Jake Paul can finally get his wish of stepping into the octagon against the southpaw MMA star.

Jake Paul defends Mike Tyson amid airplane assault allegations – Dexerto
Jake Paul defends Mike Tyson amid airplane assault allegations YouTube: Jake Paul, Hotboxin’ With Mike TysonYouTube star Jake Paul is taking Mike Tyson’s side as reports claim the boxing legend brought a bare-fisted beatdown on a fellow passenger in an airplane. On April 21, video footage surfaced that appeared to show retired boxing pro Mike Tyson pummeling an airplane passenger with his fists. Reports state that the boxer had allegedly been antagonized by the man sitting behind him, with sources close to the situation saying the man had been drunk. The incident has sparked a slew of conversation across social media, with Jake Paul being the latest to chime in. A passenger later shared a video of the man reportedly harassing Mike on his flightpic.twitter.com/tj9MRg8xw4 — Dexerto (@Dexerto) April 21, 2022 Jake Paul is one of YouTube’s most prolific influencer boxing personalities, boasting a 5-0 record with four wins by knockout. In fact, he’s even game to touch gloves with Iron Mike in a future fight — and it looks like he’s sticking up for ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ in light of this latest news. Jake Paul weighs in on Mike Tyson airplane brawl Over on Twitter, Paul defended Tyson, claiming that hecklers like the man in the released video footage deserve their just desserts. “If you’re being heckled in public like Mike Tyson was, you should legally get a hall pass to beat someone’s a**,” he wrote. “This generation thinks they can get away with anything.” If you’re being heckled in public like Mike Tyson was you should legally get a hall pass to beat someone’s ass. This generation thinks they can get away with anything. — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) April 21, 2022 Tyson himself notably shared a similar sentiment two years ago on his own social media accounts, a statement that’s being brought up again in light of the airplane reports: “Social media made you all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it.” This isn’t the first time there’s been a crossover between Tyson and the Paul bros, either; Iron Mike recently spoke out about a potential bout with Jake during an episode of the Joe Rogan podcast, notably saying he’s up for the challenge.

Jake Paul defends Nina Agdal from Dillon Danis attacks – Dexerto
Jake Paul defends Nina Agdal from Dillon Danis attacks YouTube: imPaulsiveJake Paul has, finally, stepped in to defend Nina Agdal and Logan Paul amid the harassment they’ve been getting from Dillon Danis online, calling the former UFC fighter “hurtful.” The Paul brothers have had beef with Dillon Danis for quite some time, stretching back to Jake’s initial attempts to call out Conor McGregor for a boxing match just a few years ago. As Dillon and Logan are preparing to fight come October 14, the former UFC fighter has gotten incredibly personal with the YouTuber-turned-wrestler. He has constantly attacked his fiancee, Nina Agdal, posting photos – real and fake – of her with other men. That led to a lawsuit from Nina against Dillon as she sought a restraining order against him, as well as damages of $150,000. Typically when one of the Paul brothers goes to war, the other backs him up, but Logan and Jake have been beefing a little bit themselves. Jake previously stated that he didn’t need to defend his brother as the drama between him and Danis was creating hype. However, he’s now stepped in to defend him and his fiancee. Jake Paul finally defends Nina Agdal in Dillon Danis beef Jake joined his brother on episode 394 of imPaulsive as they addressed their current beef and everything going on between Logan, Nina, and Dillon. “When he tweets about anything other than Nina, no one cares, it doesn’t get good engagement,” Jake said. “Yeah, he makes jokes, but it’s largely in part that he’s exploiting Nina and there are so many hurt males out there that can’t get girls and they’re the ones that are like ‘yeah, f*ck girls, f*ck women, I love what Dillon is doing’ and they know they won’t ever get a hot girl. “Now they’re finding a way out to unleash their hate through this super hateful, insecure male who is clearly, clearly a very hurt person.” Timestamp of 31:45 Jake also downplayed the significance of the 2 billion views that the former UFC fighter had gotten on his Twitter account over the last few weeks, noting that unless he was going after Nina, it wasn’t getting any traction. Given the legal case between Nina, Logan, and Dillon, the fight has been called into a bit of jeopardy. However, Logan has stated it is going ahead and that it is a winner-take-all contest now – at least on his side.

Jake Paul declares war on Logan Paul for the most meme-worthy reason – Dexerto
Jake Paul declares war on Logan Paul for the most meme-worthy reason Vanity Fair / Logan Paul, YouTubePopular YouTuber Jake Paul has declared open war on his older brother, Logan Paul, due to a year-old diss track with over 211 million views. Jake claimed that he was tired of Logan’s video, ‘The Fall of Jake Paul,’ which was created in 2017 and meant as a diss track toward Jake. As of December 19, the track has over 211 million views – so Jake devised a plan to get rid of the video once and for all. Jake broke into Logan’s house with the help of his best friend Anthony (and cameraman Ari) in a ploy to delete the video from a computer logged into Logan’s channel. Under cover of darkness, the trio climbed over the roof of the house and snuck in through an upstairs door, piling onto the ‘imPaulsive’ podcast set to infiltrate Logan’s laptop. Of course, simply deleting the video wasn’t enough; Jake turned on upload notifications for his own channel as a practical joke before heading back out into the living room as if nothing had happened. Read More: Deji lashes out at KSI’s new track, ‘Beerus’ – Logan eventually caught onto Jake’s plot and chased them out of his home -without ever learning the actual reason for Jake’s visit. However, it doesn’t look as though Jake actually deleted the video from Logan’s channel, as the video is still available to view as of December 19, sporting the same view count. Both Logan and Jake have yet to speak out on the prank via social media, leaving fans to wait with bated breath for the next act of war between the brothers.
