      They were initially signed to fight on February 20, but a new date has not yet been announced.
      It has given Paul more time to prepare for what most would consider mission impossible.
      And giving the social media sensation a helping hand is unbeaten star Garcia, who has also launched his own YouTube channel.
      In his latest video, he visits Paul’s Los Angeles mansion, where he trains out of, with a ring in his back garden.
      And in the video, the pair are seen discussing tactics and sparring each other.
      At one point, Garcia, 22, says: “You’re bigger. Push me, There it is.
      “When you get your ground back, be strong. And then you go right back to it.
      “You’re a way bigger dude, he’s not going to knock you out with one punch.”

      Paul, 26, has boxed only twice before, both against online rival KSI.
      The first was a draw in a white collar bout in 2018, but when the two turned professional a year later, KSI, 27, won by scrappy split-decision.
      He is yet to fight since, and the leap from fighting fellow novice KSI to all-time great is an unprecedented one.
      Mayweather, 44, closed out his career officially in 2017, stopping ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 32, in ten rounds.
      But he returned a year later for an exhibition in Japan, wiping out featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in just two minutes.

      The room full of former world champions posed for photographs with one showing the trio of guests laughing at a Tyson story.
      Posting the snaps to his Instagram, the heavyweight icon wrote: “Incredible time with some of the greatest fighters ever created Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, Shane Mosley.”
      In one snap, Tyson had his arm around Hearns, who won 61 of his 67 fights to capture world titles in five weight divisions.
      Leonard, 64, is the oldest of the quartet and also took world belts in five different weights, defeating Hearns in a 1981 welterweight contest before they drew eight years later.
      Sugar Ray wrote on his Instagram: “Thanks Mike for bringing me, Hearns, and Mosley together for this incredible and hilarious moment on Hotboxin’ podcast. This was too damn fun.
      “What an incredible moment with incredible guys! Thanks.”

      Mosley, 49, was world champion in three divisions and is well remembered for an epic 2010 bout with Floyd Mayweather.
      Tips on how to get the better of the unbeaten Money were handed out by Leonard.
      He told the podcast: “How to beat Floyd Mayweather? There is no one way to beat Floyd.
      “I would have to pull out all my tools and figure out, get a feel. A lot of feints, body shots.”
      Discussing the 12-round defeat, Mosley recalled: “Floyd is really quick, technical and he felt more youthful, like I couldn’t really get to him.
      “He made the mistake… he believed that I couldn’t hurt him.

      “So he was like, ‘I’m gonna stay in the pocket, I’m going to fight. I’m going to stay right here and pick him off’.
      “And then when I caught him, then you see Roger and all them, ‘Man, what are you doing? You don’t sit there, you better box him’.
      “So he started using his boxing ability and movement and stuff like that. But he didn’t think I could hit him that hard.”

      Ruiz Jr weighed in over a stone heavier for his second fight against AJ as he ballooned to over 20 stone.
      That was to be his last bout with Manny Robles in his corner, as he linked up with Saul Alvarez’s trainer Eddy Reynoso last year.
      And he is looking in great shape, with the Mexican-American already shedding over three stone for his comeback dust-up against Arreola.
      Speaking during a virtual press conference, the Destroyer revealed he is taking competing more seriously now as he looks to become a two-time world champion.
      He told Fight Hub TV: “Losing from my last fight against Anthony Joshua, it was devastating, because I did not do the things that I was supposed to do.
      “I look back right now and I’m like ‘Damn, if I would’ve stayed dedicated, if I would’ve stayed disciplined and do the right things that I was supposed to do…’
      “And that was the most important fight of my life… but now it’s totally different. Now I got my mind right, I got a great trainer, so we’re just ready for May 1.”
      Before adding: “I’ve always been overweight and now that I’ve been dropping weight normally and in the right way by eating right, not just wearing the sauna suit, starving yourself.

      “Because that’s what I used to do back in the day. But now that we’re eating the right things, we’re working on the right things, I feel amazing.
      “I can do better stuff that I couldn’t do before because of my big gut, I had chi-chis, I had t**s that wouldn’t let me throw the right punches and all that.
      “But now I’m more motivated, I’m more dedicated in this sport and sky’s the limit.”
      Ruiz Jr recently had his say on Joshua’s eagerly-anticipated undisputed title fight against Tyson Fury, where he backed the Gypsy King to win.

      And the Hollywood superstar joked the award should have gone to comedy genius, creator of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David.
      The Rock, 48, tweeted: “How in the cinnamon toast f*ck does this happen – when Larry David clearly has a pulse?!?! #demandingrecount.”
      But Tyson was quick to fire back, and insisted both Prince William and funnyman David should not be eligible for the nod – as they have hair around the sides.
      He responded: “I should be number 1 by default because Princess William is only bald on top and so is Larry David.”

      Tyson is one of the most celebrated fighters of all time, becoming the youngest heavyweight champion of all time, aged 20.
      But still the father-of-six revealed he kids are quick to wind him up when it comes to popularity.
      Tyson, 54, said on his YouTube channel: “My kids think I’m such a d***.
      “So, my kids will go like this, out of the blue, ‘Magic Johnson is bigger than you dad, he’s more popular than you’.

      “I go, ‘What the f***? Get out of here’. My daughter says, ‘Beyonce’s bigger than you too’.
      “I’m like, ‘Where’s this coming from?’ And this is my daughter, ‘And I know you don’t think you’re fyler than Michael Jackson or Prince’.
      “Where is this coming from? You know, they’re always trying to bust my chops.
      “They say I get all this attention and don’t know why, they should be on Magic Johnson, Magic Johnson is bigger than you. My kids will say that.”

      In preparation, Hall uploaded videos of his training, but was hit with criticism by UFC commentator Rogan.
      But he responded on his YouTube channel: “I love Joe Rogan, I absolutely do love Joe Rogan
      “Look man, people can speculate, they can make assumptions, they can guess, they can do whatever they want, but I’m knocking Thor out.
      “There’s no doubt in my mind. So, people can say whatever they want.
      “I take no offence to Joe Rogan’s comments. He’s an experienced guy, he knows what he’s talking about, but he doesn’t know the full picture.
      “You look at a few clips, you can’t make assumptions from that.
      “It doesn’t bother me in the slightest, it doesn’t put me off. I hope it gives Thor more confidence, because he needs it.
      “He’s in deep trouble. And I’d still love to go on The Joe Rogan Show and tell him a story for everyone to hear.”

      The response comes after Rogan and and guest, CrossFit legend Mat Fraser, watched some footage of Hall’s recent training.
      He said: “That’s not good. Right away we’re seeing that we have a real problem. Yeah, this is terrible.
      “He’s very rudimentary, but also you see that his body is very stiff. Looking at him sparring there, he’s just not moving so good
      “This is super stiff. He’s throwing these punches with his arms. These are arm punches, almost like he shouldn’t be hitting things.”

      Dillian Whyte calls out ‘fraud clown’ Deontay Wilder, saying ‘I want to punish’ former heavyweight champion

      by

      DILLIAN WHYTE has called out ‘fraud clown’ Deontay Wilder and said ‘I want to punish’ the former heavyweight champion. Whyte is already looking ahead to his next opponent, having exacted revenge on Alexander Povetkin with a fourth round knockout in their rematch.

      Immediately, Wilder was the touted name, having shared a bitter rivalry with the Brit in the past.
      And it appears Whyte is just as keen, as he posted a video of the Bronze Bomber trash talking him, and called to set up the grudge match.
      He posted: “I want to punish @bronzebomber the Coward is full of fear. Come see me fraud clown.”
      Whyte, 32, spent over 1,000 days as the WBC’s No1 ranked challenger for Wilder’s belt, but never got his crack at the title.
      In the end, Tyson Fury ended up twice challenging for the American’s crown, drawing the first before snatching it away in February 2020.
      Wilder, 35, is yet to fight since his first career defeat, and was signed to a trilogy bout with Fury.
      But the immediate rematch clause expired in October, with the Bronze Bomber now fighting his case in court.
      Meanwhile, Fury, 32, has signed to fight Anthony Joshua, 31, in an undisputed title decider.

      It leaves Wilder in the lurch, and Whyte ready to settle the score.
      He lost to Povetkin, 41, last August, but got his revenge in March, also winning back his mandatory status for Fury’s belt.
      Wilder was one of the first names on Whyte’s lips, and his latest Instagram post reminded the world of their verbal warfare.
      He uploaded a video, where Wilder says: “Dillian Whyte is an easy style for me, trust me.
      “It’s an easy fight, trust me. His style is easy, he got a wild, wild style. People think I’m wild? C’mon.

      “He wants to call out the best fighters, but he don’t want to fight the best fighters.
      “Dillian Whyte, get your s*** together, man. That’s all you gotta do, go fight the right fights and stop running away from the fight.”
      Promoter Eddie Hearn has plans for Whyte to possibly fight in America in the summer.
      Wilder and Andy Ruiz Jr, 31, are potential opponents, as well as WBA ‘Regular’ champion Trevor Bryan, 31.
