      Conor McGregor slammed in explosive X-rated rant by Jake Paul as ‘f***ing scared Irish b****’ after $50m fight offer

      by

      JAKE PAUL has branded Conor McGregor a ‘f***ing scared Irish b****’ after offering him $50MILLION to fight in a boxing match.
      YouTuber Paul, 23, launched the explosive X-rated rant in a video calling out the UFC superstar and his octagon boss Dana White as he also showed off a giant cheque featuring the eye-watering sum of money.

      Draped in a Republic of Ireland flag while smoking a cigar, he also insulted McGregor’s partner Dee Devlin while calling the Dublin brawler a ‘c***’.
      McGregor, 32, is returning to UFC next month for a clash against Dustin Poirier.
      But Paul, fresh off his knockout win against ex-NBA player Nate Robinson in November, has crudely challenged McGregor to a boxing bout soon after.
      Irishman McGregor has only fought once in the sport, losing to Floyd Mayweather in 2017.

      However, Paul’s foul-mouthed call-out could see him don his boxing gloves once again.
      That’s despite UFC head honcho White saying there is ‘zero chance’ of the pair fighting anytime soon.
      In the new video, Paul describes McGregor as a ‘scared Irish b****’ who is instead choosing to fight someone with ‘less followers on Instagram than my f***ing dog’.
      Paul also launched a furious attack against UFC chief White, calling him a ‘f***ing bald b****’ and a ‘p***y’.

      Paul, who won his first pro boxing fight against fellow YouTuber Ali Eson Gibb in January, ranted: “What the f*** is up you Irish c***? Good morning Conor McGregor.
      “I know you’re probably beating up old dudes in a bar right now or maybe you’re j***ing off as you’re sick of f***ing your wife, I mean, she’s a four [out of ten], Conor you could do a lot better, but happy Monday!
      “My team sent you a $50 million offer this morning, $50 million cash, proof of funds, the biggest fight offer you’ve ever been offered.
      “But you’re scared to fight me Conor. You duck me as you’re scared to fight a YouTuber.

      “You’re 0-1 as a boxer, I’m 2-0 as a boxer. I just came off the eighth biggest pay-per-view event in history.
      “But you want to fight Dustin Poirier, who has less followers on Instagram than my f***ing dog, that’s a fact.
      “And Dana White, you’re a f***ing p****, you ugly f***ing bald b****.
      “You said there’s zero per cent chance of this fight happening but there’s zero percent of you getting some p****.
      “Conor, you’re scared, Dana, you’re scared. Sign the f***ing contract you idiots. Irish b****, f*** these guys.”

      Berlanga, 23, knocked Sierra down three times before the referee waved off the contest.
      As a result, ‘The Chosen One’ has still never made it into the second round since turning pro in 2016.
      But Berlanga is hopeful his streak will be broken as he faces better opponents.
      He said: “[I want] rounds. The better competition, the better opposition we fight, I believe we’re going to get those rounds in.

      “We ended 2020 with a bang. 2021 is big year for us, and I’m looking forward to it.”
      Berlanga, who began boxing at the age of seven, left the amateurs with a record of 162-17.
      He represented the USA in youth competition, but also has Puerto Rican heritage.
      And before his latest one round demolition job, he spent time with Puerto Rican legend Tito Trinidad – a former three-weight champion.

      And Berlanga revealed he was inspired after receiving a words of wisdom from the now 47-year-old.
      He said: “Tito Trinidad was my idol. He still is.
      “Just being with him opened up my eyes as to what boxing is about, the dedication, the focus, leaving the streets and the bad people alone.”

      And just hours after his show stopping performance in the ring, AJ headed to Finchley ABC to see old coach Sean Murphy.
      Writing on Instagram, Murphy said: “Look who came down the gym tonight.”
      AJ replied: He is the king 👑.”
      The Watford heavyweight boxer has not forgotten his roots and bought a car for Murphy a couple of years.

      AJ also paid for a new club minibus as he showed his gratitude for their contribution to his road to stardom.

      The 31-year-old superstar was a teenager when he first strolled into Finchley ABC and credits the club for changing his life.
      Joshua said: “It was at my first boxing club where I learned discipline.
      “How to forget your ego and listen to instructions if you want to achieve things.

      “Sean would say, ‘Shut up, get on the bags, stop talking’. He told me to stay focused.
      “These guys will always have their door open for me, no matter what. I’ll never forget who has been there when no one was.”
      Joshua’s explosive win against Pulev has put him on a collision course to face Tyson Fury in a huge undisputed world heavyweight title fight next year.

      by

      But tensions boiled over as the pair came face-to-face at their pre-fight weigh-in.
      Chaos erupted as Hunt wildly charged towards the former New South Wales star.
      The UFC icon then tried to hit Gallen with a huge left hook, but luckily he missed.
      Hunt’s entourage managed to hold him back while Gallen casually smiled on stage.

      The pair will go to war at the Bankwest Stadium in Sydney on Wednesday.
      Rugby legend Gallen claimed he is planning on sending Hunt into retirement once and for all.
      The 39-year-old, who has a boxing record of 9-0-1 including five knockouts, said: “It’s a huge challenge for myself. A huge step up. I understand that.
      “But I’m ready for it. I’m ready to take whatever Mark’s got and give back even more.

      “He should have stayed in retirement. He won’t come out of it after this.”

      Hunt, who ended his UFC career with a record of 13-14-1, plans to brutally knockout his rival.
      He said: “This is fighting. I don’t know where he gets his ideas. He’s talking s*** again.
      “I’ll put your a*** to sleep, that’s what’s going to happen. This is not footy.
      “I’m going to fix you, man. I’m going to fix you good.”

      Callum Smith insists he WILL shock the world and beat Canelo Alvarez and has not just taken the fight for a payday

      CALLUM SMITH insists he CAN shock the world and beat Canelo Alvarez and he is not just interested in a payday.

      After months of trying to secure a dream bout against four-weight world champ, the Liverpudlian finally sealed the deal in November.
      But despite the short turnaround, Smith is adamant he can upset the bookies and earn the biggest win of his career.
      He told Ring TV: “Four weeks’ notice for the biggest fight possible isn’t ideal.
      “However, given the times that we’re in, I kind of expected to get it at late notice.

      “And I wasn’t sitting around doing nothing. 
      “If I’d been sitting around doing nothing and got four weeks’ notice, then I would have passed on it.
      “I’m the champion and as long as I have those belts, I’m in a position to land the biggest fights possible, and I would still have been in a position to secure the Canelo fight.
      “I would have seen the year out and tried to get it next year.

      “I’ve taken this fight because I believe that I’m ready and I’m in good shape.
      “I believe that I’ll be able to go in there and do what I do.”

      Confident Smith continued: “I’m good enough to win the fight, I’m a winner, and I don’t take fights for a payday.
      “I’m here to win, and if you’d seen me training over the last few weeks you’d know that I’m not just here to make up the numbers.”
      Canelo comes into the fight on the back off a spectacular 11th-round knockout of Sergey Kovalev to claim the WBO light heavyweight title.
      Smith’s was last in action in 13 months ago when he defeated John Ryder with unanimous decision.
      He added: “I’m not saying I’m his toughest fight ever, he’s boxed Floyd Mayweather, but, in recent times, I tick a lot more of the boxes.
      “I have to get it correct, but I believe I have the style to beat him.”

      Tyson Fury mocks Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn with hilarious new ‘you big dossers’ T-shirt leaving fans in hysterics

      by

      TYSON FURY unleashed his latest barb at Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn – with a T-shirt dubbing the pair ‘big dossers’.
      The favourite jibe of the Gypsy King has featured regularly since AJ’s heavyweight title triumph over Kubrat Pulev.

      Fans eagerly await the pair going head-to-head next year, with both fighters talking up the clash this week.
      On Tuesday, Fury, 32, worked out in the gym and showed off his latest piece of kit on Instagram.
      He posed in a grey T-shirt featuring Hearn and Joshua’s faces, underneath the phrase ‘you big dossers’.
      A smiling Fury made up the O in ‘You’ and he gave a big thumbs-up for the snap.

      Supporters online lapped up the T-shirt, with some even hoping to buy one of their own.
      Twitter user Steff posted: “Love that, this is a must happen fight, long overdue.”
      Another fan tweeted : “Round 1 to Fury. The mind games have started…”
      And Steve added: “I need to buy this shirt.”

      But one unimpressed commenter deemed it: “Tedious.”
      Another wrote: “Lol they live rent free in his head…..tell me who’s worried again.”
      Joshua, 31, dealt with Pulev in convincing fashion at Wembley Arena on Saturday night.
      Attention will soon turn to Fury and a first defence of his WBC title early next year.
      Immediately after AJ’s victory, the Gypsy King reacted by calling out his rival.
      He said: “There you go everyone, Anthony Joshua just s*** himself on live television.

      “He got asked if he wanted the fight, and he went around the bushes and put his a*** in the hedge.
      “I want the fight, I want the fight next, I will knock him out inside three rounds.
      “He’s a big bum dosser, can’t wait to knock him out.”
      Matchroom promoter Hearn has been happy to sit back and absorb the taunts ahead of talks over a potential £200million showdown in the Middle East.

      AJ is not the kind of guy who will scream and shout on TV and call people dossers.

      Hearn stated: “AJ is not the kind of guy who will scream and shout on TV and call people dossers.
      “We will let Tyson do that.”
      In his response, Joshua stated: “That’s good to hear.
      “At least I can get him in the ring. Tyson Fury is talented and will bring out the best in me.”

      Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr and Conor McGregor in 2021 is ‘very realistic’ if coronavirus vaccine is rolled out

      by

      MANNY PACQUIAO has a ‘very realistic’ chance of facing Errol Spence Jr and Conor McGregor in 2021 – so long as a coronavirus vaccine is rolled out.
      Pacquiao is yet to fight since taking Keith Thurman’s WBA welterweight title and unbeaten record in July 2019.

      But the Filipino icon – who turns 42 on December 17 – recently announced plans to make up for time with two fights next year.
      And Sean Gibbons, president of Manny Pacquiao Promotions, confirmed to SunSport that Spence and McGregor, as well as Terence Crawford, are among possible opponents.
      But the super-fights are reliant on a vaccine paving the way for paying fans to return in full capacity venues.
      Gibbons said: “It is very realistic depending on the Covid-19 situation.

      “As they roll out the vaccine and hopefully get the Covid-19 spread under some control we are hopeful.
      “Senator Pacquiao has never turned any fight down in his life and he sure is not now.
      “The Senator is looking at all options in these very difficult times.”
      Pacquiao was left impressed after Spence, 30, returned for the first time since his horror car crash to dominate Danny Garcia, 32, at the start of December.

      And we revealed in November that WBO champion Crawford, 33, already had a deal in place to face PacMan in Qatar this year.
      But the coronavirus crisis KO’d the Middle East-backed fight, with Bob Arum’s Top Rank promotion hopeful they can restart talks with Pacquiao.
      Perhaps the most lucrative option for eight-division champion PacMan is UFC star McGregor.
      The 32-year-old Irishman and Pacquiao both confirmed they were in negotiations earlier in the year.
      But McGregor decided to commit his immediate future to the UFC as he returns to the octagon against Dustin Poirier, 31, on January 23.
      Audi Attar, who has a management deal with both McGregor and Pacquiao, however, did confirm the superstars still intend to fight next year.

      Attar told The National: “Both fighters want it. There’s no way Conor’s looking past Dustin, so he’s just trying to focus on what he can control.
      “But the fans want it – there’s serious interest from all fans from all around the world – and both fighters want it. It’s hard not to make it happen.
      “Manny Pacquiao sees Conor McGregor as a real threat and a real formidable opponent.
      “And he has his own plans politically; he’s a machine in what he does. Either of them isn’t trying to go fight YouTubers next.
      “At the end of the day, I don’t see why it shouldn’t happen.
      “As we saw in 2020, you can never count anything out any more, but right now the intention is for that to happen in 2021.”

      Logan Paul admits Floyd Mayweather fight makes ‘no f****** sense’ and says he thought he was signing ‘fantasy contract’

      by

      YOUTUBER Logan Paul admitted his fight with Floyd Mayweather makes ‘no f****** sense’ and didn’t think the contract was real.
      Paul, 25, is set to take on Mayweather, 43, in a special exhibition bout in February.

      The social media sensation made his professional boxing debut against British internet celebrity KSI in 2019 and lost out in a split-decision after six rounds.
      Mayweather retired from boxing in 2017 after KOing MMA star Conor McGregor in a crossover bout before returning to beat Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in one round on New Year’s Eve in 2018.
      Paul reflected on how crazy it is that the fight – he is six inches taller and likely to be FOUR STONE heavier – got made with unbeaten legend Mayweather.
      Paul told Food Truck Diaries: “None of this is comprehensible. This makes no f****** sense.

      “My manager, [this] is months ago, comes up to me, he says ‘Logan would you fight Floyd Mayweather?’

      I’ll sign your fantasy contract. Like f*** you, why would this ever happen?”
      Logan Paul

      “I go, ‘I mean yes I would, but why are you asking me that question? Like go do something else, this makes no sense, how is that going to be a thing ever?’
      “I think a month later, he approached me with a contract. He said ‘If you sign here, you’re going to be fighting Floyd Mayweather.’
      “I said ‘Sure Jeff, I’ll sign your fantasy contract. Like f*** you, why would this ever happen?’

      “I signed it, and then after just months and months of going back and forth and figuring out dates, we had three different dates, and how to announce it, and just like the strategy behind it.
      “It finally came to fruition, and this event that supersedes everything I’ve ever done in my life, is finally solidified.”

      How Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul compare ahead of their fight

      Money Mayweather confirmed he will return to Tokyo in 2021 after first fighting Paul in the shock pay-per-view extravaganza.
      Mayweather jetted into the UK to watch Anthony Joshua batter Kubrat Pulev on Saturday and even rubbed shoulders with West Ham’s Declan Rice.
      The veteran American is reportedly set to earn TWENTY FIVE times more than Paul for their bout in the New Year.
      But he hit back at sceptics labelling the money-spinner a farce.
      Mayweather said: “This is going to be a great night for the fans worldwide as we are bringing something special to them through sports and entertainment.
      “I have never shied away from doing things differently throughout my career and fighting Logan Paul in this special exhibition is just another opportunity for me to do it again.”
