      John told BT Sport: “”He’ll have a good hard-earned rest now and what he wants to do is up to him.
      “I said, ‘Retire, you’ve done enough.’ He’s won everything, he’s got no more to prove. He’s got millions in the bank, he’s secure for life.
      “There’s more to life than getting your brains rattled to please the public.
      “He’s his own man, he’ll do what he wants to do. But for me, I’d like to call it a draw now.”

      He added: “I’ll fight everybody. This started with me calling out McGregor. People were like, ‘Oh, that kid’s crazy’.
      “Now it’s like, that fight could happen in the next 24 months, 100 per cent. It probably will and I will beat him.”

      ‘This ain’t no regular motherf***er’ – Snoop Dogg predicts Mike Tyson will KO Logan Paul in second round of mega fight

      by

      SNOOP DOGG reckons Mike Tyson will dispose of Logan Paul in just two rounds if their proposed mega-bucks fight goes ahead.YouTube sensation Paul revealed last week that he was in talks with Tyson over a fight that he hopes will silence those who think the boxing legend would destroy him.

      But according to Snoop, Paul’s wasting his time.
      The social-media sensation did go the eight-round distance with Floyd Mayweather in June, but the rapper believes once Tyson’s old instincts kick in, it will be night-night for the 26-year-old.
      Snoop told Joe Rogan: “C’mon Joe, quit playing with me, man. It’s Mike Tyson we talking about.
      “This is not a regular mother. It may trigger his old instincts. That mother is still in there! I predict a second-round KO for Tyson.”
      And a Tyson victory could signal trouble for Logan’s brother Jake, as the former world champ may want to take him on next.
      Snoop, who gained plaudits for his commentary during Jake’s fight with Nate Robinson on Tyson’s undercard versus Roy Jones, added: “Well, see, when he whoops Logan, it’s all a domino effect” [Like] ‘Now go get your little brother!'”
      Rogan shares the same view as Snoop about the Logan vs Tyson bout and is in disbelief that the older Paul sibling is even considering it.

      He said: “The fact that Logan Paul wants to box him, it’s like wow.
      “I can’t believe they’re really going to do that. That kid’s going to get hit for sure.”
      If the latest clips of Tyson are anything to go by, Snoop and Rogan may have a point.
      The 55-year-old was captured in his pants showing off his blistering speed and incredible punching power a few days ago, leaving Logan with a lot of training to do before they potentially meet up in February.

      But with a month to go until fight week in Florida, they are raising the stakes – and it’s getting personal.
      Fury tweeted: “Whilst Jake enjoys afternoons in the arcade playing dance mat with his side ting.
      “I thought I’d take 5 minutes out from the best camp of my life to say NOTHING can save you now.
      “DECEMBER 18th, you’ll see that you can’t come in my world and not get hurt.”
      And Paul took to his Instagram with a mocking reply.
      Pretending to shake in fear, The Problem Child captioned the story: “Shiver me timbers.”

      Fury, 22, comes into the fight more experienced at 7-0, but 4-0 Paul, 24, is now entering his third consecutive pay-per-view headliner.
      British YouTuber KSI predicted the Love Island star will ‘s*** himself on the big stage’ in the celebrity grudge match.
      KSI said: “Yeah, I see Tommy losing, you know why? I see him s***ing himself on the big stage.
      “Tommy knows he’s got everything, he’s ready, he could f*** him up, but will he be able to act on the night? And he’s just not sure.”
      In his first three fights, Paul beat YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
      But in August, he improved to 4-0 with a win over eight rounds against ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39.

      And now the American is eyeing his next victim – and warned Fury he picked the ‘wrong time’ to agree to the big-money battle.
      Paul told TMZ Sport: “Everyone was like, ‘Fight a real boxer’, OK, here it is.
      “Same height, same weight, same age. He’s 7-0, his brother’s the legendary Tyson Fury, who is the heavyweight champion of the world.
      “He’s been boxing his whole entire life, amateur fights, so on and so forth, he’s got a big name, it’s the perfect fight.
      “Definitely the toughest guy but, I’m coming for his head.
      “He has a lot, a lot to deal with and he chose the wrong time to fight me, because I’m just not playing around this time.”

      Floyd Mayweather’s amazing journey from driving Indy Beretta to flying in $50m private jet after becoming billionaire

      by

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER has revealed his incredible journey from owning a banged up Indy Beretta car to boarding his private jet as a billionaire.The boxer is widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters of all time and his business acumen has enabled him to make unimaginable amounts of money.
      Mayweather showed the car he owned when he had very little money
      He now owns a private jet worth in excess of £40million
      Now he has shown off a couple of images on Instagram documenting just how far he has come.
      Alongside pictures of his old Indy Beretta car and his private jet, Mayweather said: “How It Started Vs. How It’s Going.
      “My first car was an Indy Barretta in 1994. Now I travel the world whenever I want to on my private jet.
      “I never stopped believing, it’s all about hard work & dedication.”
      Mayweather, 44, owns a plush £43.5million private jet, that has taken him to destinations including Monte Carlo, Hong Kong, Bali, Fiji and Tokyo, among many others.
      And true to form, not a penny has been spared in making his frequent journeys as comfortable as possible.

      Mayweather’s jet has his name on the side along with ‘TMT’ for ‘The Money Team’
      He has spent a huge amount of money on the custom jet
      The Gulfstream G650 jet, dubbed Air Mayweather, has glorious interior features including luxurious leather seats and even a bed for him to get some rest.
      Also on board is an in-built entertainment system, so that there’s not a boring moment in transit.
      While perched on one of the leather seats, Mayweather has been known to have a nice trim, or even a rub down, having brought a masseuse on a recent trip.
      Far from the conditions of a stuffy commercial flight, fresh air is pumped into the aircraft every two minutes, keeping Floyd in perfect nick.
      Air Mayweather features a satellite phone, a rarity even for luxurious private planes, in case he needs to make a call while cruising thousands of feet above the ground.
      As well as his private jet, billionaire Mayweather also has a remarkable car collection that he has documented many times in the past.
      The 44-year-old regularly shows off his impressive fleet of vehicles on social media, which includes four Bugatti Veyron supercars that cost £1.7m.

      Back in August, Mayweather revealed seven new cars he had purchased outside of his £13m Miami mansion.
      In an Instagram post, Mayweather’s driveway was filled with white cars, including a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Ferrari and two Rolls Royces.
      A Maybach was also seen parked up, along with a Bentley and a Range Rover. More
