      The YouTuber, 24, mocked Mayweather
      Things kicked off after Jake shouted ‘you wanna make it two in one night’ to Mayweather.
      As he made his way over to confront the YouTuber, fired-up Mayweather said: “Yes.”
      Chaos then ensued when Jake Paul stole Mayweather’s hat – with the pair eventually being separated by their entourages.
      A member of Floyd’s team did catch Paul, 24, leaving him with a vicious black eye.
      But rather than shy away from this incident, Paul sought to capitalise on the publicity.
      The Problem Child almost immediately opened an online shop to flog merchandise with the slogan ‘gotcha hat’ printed on.
      And he even changed his Twitter handle to the same phrase.

      The YouTuber got ‘gotcha hat’ tattooed on his leg – along with an inking of a cap, such was his glee at pinching Mayweather’s headwear.
      The incident left the 50-0 king visibly furious.
      After the fracas he was heard shouting: “When I catch you, motherf***er, I’ll kill you motherf***er! You crazy?!
      “I don’t know who the f*** he thinks he’s playing with, but I don’t play no motherf***ing games!”
      And after being dragged away, the furious boxer was then heard shouting: “I’ll kill that motherf***er.”
      Jake Paul has recently been linked with a bout with Tommy Fury, having been called out by the Brit.

      But it was younger brother Jake, 24, who caused a mass melee after stealing the boxing legend’s hat.
      Both the Pauls were involved in a scuffle with Mayweather and his security entourage.
      Mayweather, 44, was irate afterwards and could be heard screaming ‘I’ll kill that motherf***er’.
      But not everyone was so convinced as McGregor, 32, beaten by the American in 2017, mocked his former opponent for ‘running around acting the tough guy’.
      He posted on Instagram: “What the f*** is Floyd at?
      “The kid curled up, didn’t fight back once, and Floyd is still running around acting the tough guy.
      “The kid actually just pulled this shambles of a situation Floyd is in out of the drain for him. He should thank him. It’s embarrassing!
      “Pro to pro it’s embarrassing. He will not scratch 10m for this fight and he knows it. It was cancelled once already.

      “The world is watching this on Twitter. He’d fight a half decent pro and command 20m upwards, yet its this s***.
      “Whatever way you spin this, it’s sad. Fight someone for real, on your record, or f*** off mate. Slap head.”
      Rapper 50 Cent – once a valued member of Mayweather’s team until their 2012 fallout – is always quick to goad his former best friend.
      And the recording artist – real name Curtis Jackson – decided to poke fun at Mayweather’s rumoured hair transplant.
      Suggesting Mayweather was fuming that Paul had exposed his new barnet, 50 Cent tweeted: “WTF going on, on champ head. I heard he had his pubic hairs put on his face. Lol.
      “Floyd like you can’t show people my hair. LOL.” More

      Fan favourite Joshua goes into the multi-million-pound Saudi showdown as an underdog, with many – including Fury – tipping him to be knocked out.
      During an appearance on Hearn’s No Passion, No Point podcast, he said: “I will cut Anthony Joshua down like a hot knife through cheese.
      “That’s how easy it’s going to be. That’s how easy it’s going to be.
      “When he gets cracked with all them muscles right in the jaw, it’s like getting a boiled egg with a split down the middle, it can’t be repaired.
      “He will go. I’ll even tell you what punch it’s going to be, I’ll even give my game plan away – it will be a check left hook straight to the temple.
      “His legs will go and he’ll fall on his face. He may get back up and I’ll knock him out with the overhand right. Goodnight. Enough said.”

      Joshua, 31, has yet to respond to Fury’s bold prediction for the eagerly-anticipated Battle of Britain.
      But AJ’s own forecast for the bout – which he made last summer – quickly started doing the rounds on social media after Fury’s latest pre-fight comments.
      During an appearance on Sky One’s A League Of Their Own, the Olympian said: “First six rounds, I think.
      “Well I know I’m going to take him out then. I have had a shorter career, so I’m fresher.
      “I’ve been in the deep end longer so I can handle the pressure and I believe I’m going to take him out.
      “Fury drew the first and then rejigged his game plan and took Wilder out and schooled him really.

      “But I think I’m faster than Wilder anyway, call it what you want, I believe I’m better.”
      Although he’s confident of getting the better of Fury, Joshua is under no illusions of the size of the task on his hands.
      He told Watford hitman Troy Deeney: “Am I excited? I ain’t excited, it is what it is. I’m getting ready to walk through a brick wall and nothing is getting in my way.
      “I’m ready to go through whatever pain, torture, adversity I have to go through in order to win, that’s why I’m really looking forward to it.
      “I know I’m the man of this division and I will be for a long time.
      “I came through this game quick and the way I had to learn was through mistakes, on the public stage as well.
      “I came into this game not to take part but to take over, I feel I’m on a different wavelength and frequency.
      “I do it with a smile on my face but I’m dedicated to these things.
      “Recapping over Covid I thought, ‘Man, I’ve put a lot into this and now I need to back myself.'”

      Billy Joe Saunders could fight Canelo Alvarez on a FOOTBALL PITCH and still not avoid Mexican’s punches

      by

      BILLY JOE SAUNDERS could be fighting Canelo Alvarez in a ring the length and breadth of a football pitch and he still wouldn’t have enough room to avoid the magical Mexican’s savage, accurate punches.Alvarez, boxing’s deadliest and most prolific predator, can now smell the blood of yet another Englishman.
      Billy Joe Saunders wouldn’t be able to avoid Canelo Alvarez’s punches – even if they fought on a football pitchCredit: Getty
      Saunders complained about the small size of the ring, but ultimately it won’t matterCredit: AP
      Canelo has already easily devoured six of them without once being put under any pressure – let alone face the slightest possibility of defeat.
      This time, his mission in Texas tomorrow will be to demolish Saunders’ unbeaten record and relieve him of his WBO super-middleweight title to add to his WBC and WBA belts.
      There was of course an obligatory eve-of-fight row.
      This time Saunders threatened to fly home over the size of the ring, which he said was too small.
      Alvarez is recognised as pound-for-pound the greatest fighter on Earth.
      A four-weight world champion who has lost just one of his 58 fights – and that was against Floyd Mayweather Jr eight years ago.
      Does anyone seriously think Canelo, a 1-6 favourite fighting in front of 70,000 of his fans – most of them Latinos – is bothered how big his workspace is?
      Or that Saunders is going to walk away from £4million?

      When you’re fighting on foreign soil, particularly in America, strokes will be attempted to upset visitors.
      Fortunately, it isn’t as bad as it used to be.
      When Ted ‘Kid’ Lewis challenged Jack Britton for the welterweight world title in Boston in 1915, as they waited for the opening bell, Britton decided he wanted to wear Lewis’ gloves.
      To appease the champ, Lewis swapped gloves and Ted understandably was more than irritated.
      When the bell sounded, Britton objected to Lewis wearing a gum shield – a rarity back then.
      A furious Lewis was made to remove it and he threw it at Britton’s feet in disgust at his gamesmanship.

      Not that it did him any good. Lewis gave him a hiding to bring the title back to Britain.
      Saunders, 31, is in the best physical shape of his life. And at his best, he is a technically brilliant boxer.
      I expect he will give Alvarez plenty to think about in the first half of the fight.
      But Canelo is in a different league to mere mortals and his variety of punches and strength will be decisive.
      If anyone is looking for omens, up the road from Arlington is where the Battle of The Alamo was fought 185 years ago.
      That’s where Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier, found out it wasn’t wise to mess with Mexicans in Texas.

      The first of the pair’s two meetings is set to take place in Saudi Arabia, with July 24 and August 7 the slated dates for the long-awaited Battle of Britain.
      Joshua will enter the bout as the A-side due to his title of unified heavyweight champion and his global status, which Fury credits to some savvy management from Hearn.
      During an appearance on Hearn’s No Passion, No Point podcast, Fury told the Matchroom chief: “You’ve done an absolutely fantastic job, congratulations.
      “You took an amateur boxer and made him into a superstar and the finished article.”
      Fury, however, is adamant Olympic bronze medallist Joshua will bend to his will when they share the ring later this year.
      He continued: “It’s just a shame he has to be in the same era as the ‘Gypsy King’.”

      WBC heavyweight king Fury wholeheartedly believes he’ll make light work of AJ, who he’s repeatedly branded a ‘flat-footed’ bodybuilder’.
      He said: “I will cut Anthony Joshua down like a hot knife through cheese.
      “That’s how easy it’s going to be. That’s how easy it’s going to be.

      “His legs will go and he’ll fall on his face. He may get back up and I’ll knock him out with the overhand right. Goodnight. Enough said.”
      Joshua, 31, has yet to respond to Fury, although he recently revealed he’s willing to go through ‘pain, torture and adversity’ to have his hand raised against his rival.
      He told Watford hitman Troy Deeney: “Am I excited? I ain’t excited, it is what it is.
