      I’m an ex-world champ and Jake Paul’s sparring partner… I was sceptical at first but left impressed, says Chad Dawson

      by

      FORMER world champion Chad Dawson admitted he was sceptical about sparring Jake Paul at first – but was won over in the ring. Dawson, who won the light-heavyweight title three times, has spent his second successive training camp with Paul in Puerto Rico.

      He was first employed before the YouTuber-turned boxer signed to fight switch-hitting heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr in August.
      And Dawson, 40, wanted to find out first-hand if the hype was real about Paul, who is 5-0 with four knockouts.
      He told Yahoo Sports: “When I initially got the call to come work with him, I was kind of iffy.
      “I wasn’t sure if it was just a publicity stunt, and when I thought about it, I was like, ‘Ah, I don’t know.’

      “But I have to admit, I was curious.”
      When Paul’s fight with Rahman was cancelled amid a weight row, he instead lined up Anderson Silva for his return, this weekend in Arizona.
      Dawson, a southpaw like Silva, was one of the American’s chief sparring partners for this camp and was left convinced.
      He said: “I’ve been impressed. I’ve been very impressed, and I was shocked at his work ethic and his general ring knowledge.

      “He moves like he’s been boxing for well over two or three years. And he’s thinking in there, too.”
      Paul, 25, last boxed in December, knocking out Tyron Woodley, 40, four months after beating the ex-UFC champion on points.
      That added to KOs over online rival AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 38.
      But Silva, 47, will be his first opponent with a recognised boxing record, with four wins and one loss in the ring.
      Paul’s trainer BJ Flores believes it will be their coming out party, having continued to develop in dress rehearsals in the gym.
      Flores said: “I’d say he is a prospect and someone to definitely watch out for.

      “Regardless of how long he’s boxing, the one thing you really have to respect that he does have what very few people have, real punching power.
      “That’s one thing like I said that no matter who’s been in camp, Chad Dawson, Richard Rivera, who just arguably beat Badou Jack.
      “Every single person who has been in camp with him and sparred with him says this kid has real, real power.
      “He’s somebody to watch out for regardless of his skill level. And you’re going to see a much improved skill level on [Saturday].
      “One thing you have to do with Jake is really be conscious of both hands.

      “People have seen the right hand, but the left hand is also strong and has been developing.
      “Everybody says the same thing: ‘He can really, really punch.’ ”

      But that’s not the only amazing motor Paul, who will square up to MMA fighter Ben Askren on Saturday, has in the garage of his Los Angeles mansion.
      Here’s his fine collection of cars in full.
      LAMBORGHINI HURACAN, £165,000
      In 2018, Paul, 25, treated himself to a flashy supercar.
      And his bright blue Lamborghini Huracan Performante really is the most lavish thing he’s been seen behind the wheel of.

      Although he had to wait six months to get his hands on one, when it arrived the social media influencer declared it his ‘dream car’ and shot a video revealing his ’emotion’ that driving a Lambo was about to become a reality.
      Performance-wise, when Paul took it for a spin, he wouldn’t have been disappointed either.
      Boasting 631bhp, it’s capable of reaching 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 212mph.

      And the wealthier ones are now swapping their Toyota Prius for a much-more stylish Tesla Model X.
      Paul, said to be worth £26million, got his custom-wrapped by West Coast Customs Design – who famously looked after a host of celebs on MTV’s Pimp My Ride.
      The one-of-a-kind car also has carbon accents and sandblasted details, meaning it stands out from the crowd.

      ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM, £360,000
      It’s not all fast or eco-friendly cars for Jake.
      The internet personality has also been seen showing off a classic Rolls-Royce Phantom in white.
      It was a make he was first seen driving back in 2018 alongside brother Logan, when the pair appeared at a celeb bash in a gold Ghost model.
      Smitten by the luxury of it, Jake added a £360,000 Phantom to his collection. And why not.

      TOYOTA TACOMA, £40,000
      Nothing beats going off-road.
      That’s why Paul also has a sturdy SUV in his Toyota Tacoma in white that would’ve cost him around £40,000.
      A standard Tacoma boasts a 2.7-liter I-4 engine producing 159 HP and 180 lb-ft of torque.
      Judging by his Instagram, it’s Paul’s go-to motor when he wants to have some fun.

      FORD FOCUS RS, FROM £22,000
      After he scored success with West Coast Customs Design with his Model X, Jake returned with his cherished Ford Focus RS.
      Originally, he had it wrapped in black. But he wanted a change – and what he got was something completely different.
      It really is a showstopper and even has his name inscribed on the Continental tyres that were fitted new.
      Because of its colours, he nicknames the car ‘Rainbro’.

      DODGE RAM FROM £40,000
      Continuing his love of trucks, Paul has also been spied behind the wheel of a Dodge Ram 1500.
      The all-American SUV is reasonably priced with a starting price of just £40,000 – and the boxing star made sure he got the Black Ops model, inspired by the American Armed Services.

      Conor McGregor welcome to fight Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather on Showtime – despite UFC star calling TV boss a ‘weasel’

      by

      CONOR McGREGOR has been welcomed back on Showtime to fight Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather – despite calling their TV boss a “weasel”. McGregor crossed over from the UFC octagon to the boxing ring in 2017 but was beaten by Mayweather in ten rounds.

      The super-fight sold 4.3MILLION pay-per-views on Showtime after a blockbuster build up between the superstar pair.
      But as the bout approached, the rivalry increasingly soured with Showtime Sports boss Stephen Espinoza caught in the crosshairs.
      McGregor ruthlessly told Espinoza: “Look at you, you little f***ing weasel. I can see it in your eyes, you’re a f***ing b****.”
      But now five years on and the Irishman linked with a rematch against Mayweather, the TV chief would have the ex-UFC champion back.

      Espinoza told SunSport: “Look, I’d put my personal feelings aside for that one. 
      “The reality is, it wasn’t my favourite thing in combat sports but it all ended well with a major event and a Mayweather knockout.”
      Mayweather, 45, officially retired after beating McGregor, 34, but has boxed in four exhibition bouts since.
      But the American revealed ongoing talks for a rematch in either a professional or exhibition capacity, which Showtime were privy to.

      Espinoza revealed: “Yeah, we were aware. 
      “Floyd has a lot of interesting things going on, we had a great partnership and I’d like to think anything going forward we’d get an opportunity at. 
      “Certainly if it was a rematch with Conor McGregor, we’d be interested in it and I still think it’s a massive event.” 
      Espinoza recognises replicating the same commercial success would be a fight within itself but also an opportunity too good to pass up on.
      He said: “I think we’d do it again. It will be very difficult to recreate that buzz, particularly when both of them were still more active. 
      “It would be challenging to top that but I still think it would be bigger than almost any other fight we could do outside of it.” 
      Showtime this week welcomes the return of YouTuber-turned boxer Paul, 25, who faces UFC great Anderson Silva, 47.
      The American has McGregor in his sights for a future fight, something Espinoza has opened the door to.

      He added: “Certainly the UFC brought plenty of assets to the table in the Mayweather-McGregor promotion. 
      “We’ve got a model and we’d be happy to work with them again, if that’s something they want to do. 
      “There are also some Bellator fighters that Jake has talked about and going back and forth with. So, I think whoever it is, we’ll figure it out.”

      Jake Paul could get shock world boxing ranking by WBC… paving way for YouTube star to challenge for WORLD TITLE

      by

      JAKE PAUL is set to be considered for a world ranking by the WBC -which would pave the way for him to challenge for a world title. WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman announced Paul would earn himself a top 15 rating had he beaten heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr in August.
      Jake Paul could earn himself a WBC ranking by beating Anderson Silva
      The bout eventually got scrapped amid a weight row with the YouTube star instead returning against Anderson Silva.
      And Sulaiman revealed, with new rankings set to be unveiled soon, a win for Paul over the weekend could see him placed in the top 15.
      He told Fight Hype: “Jake Paul has a record in professional boxing and he has been improving the level of opposition.
      “Of course the WBC ratings committee is open to consider fighters for rankings considering all of the different variables which are activity, level of opposition, results and so on.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “So let’s see what happens Saturday. At the convention, the rankings will be addressed and the whole committee will meet.
      “Twenty four people from all over the world meeting to come up with an official ratings for November, so we will keep an eye on Jake Paul to see what happens.”
      Per the WBC’s rules, a fighter must be ranked within their top 15 for the right to challenge for their world title.
      Meaning, if Paul, 25, beats Silva, 47, and is in fact placed in the ratings, he would be free to compete for a championship belt.

      That added to KOs over online rival AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 38.
      But Paul returns in Arizona in the biggest test of his career and drew comparisons to boxing greats Muhammad Ali and Floyd Mayweather.
      Sulaiman said: “People did not like Muhammad Ali, half of the people that watched him wanted him to lose.
      “They called him a traitor and all of these names, but today he is regarded as the greatest athlete in the history of humanity.
      “Floyd Mayweather, a lot of people didn’t like to see him and wanted him to lose.
      “People may want to see Jake Paul lose but they are going to tune in.
      “It’s very easy to criticise and simply bully people in the cyberspace because of personal situations, but what Jake and Logan Paul have done is a miracle so let’s support them.”

      Anthony Joshua was permanently ‘scarred’ by Andy Ruiz and could soon say ‘goodbye’ to boxing, says Carl Froch

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA’S spectacular defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr left him permanently “scarred” – so much so he could soon walk away from the sport, Carl Froch has claimed.AJ was battered by short-notice foe Ruiz Jr in his ill-fated American debut in June 2019, suffering four knockdowns on his way to a seventh-round TKO defeat.

      Joshua, 33, exacted his revenge in their rematch six months later and scored a brutal knockout of Kubrat Pulev before suffering back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
      The former two-time unified heavyweight champion has been accused of showing a lack of killer instinct since that fateful night at Madison Square Garden, which British boxing great Froch believes has a had lasting effect.
      The Cobra told William Hill: “When you’ve made it and you’re world champion and you’re pretty much financially secure, you start to almost question being a boxer.
      “I think that’s Anthony Joshua ’s problem now. He got beat up by Andy Ruiz Jr and that’s mentally scarred him – he knows he can get hurt, he knows he can get stopped.”
      READ MORE IN SPORT
      Joshua’s route back to world title contention is a long one following his second consecutive decision defeat to Usyk in August.
      And Froch wouldn’t be surprised if the Olympic gold medallist calls it a day in the near future.
      He said: “AJ’s got to be worth £100million, minimum. If you’ve got what you want out of life and you’ve achieved it, why are you going to go back into the ring and get your head punched in?
      “Why would you? It’s a dangerous sport. You have to weigh up whether the risk is worth the reward.

      “‘What am I fighting for? Some more money that I don’t need and that I’ll never spend? What’s the risk?’ It could be goodbye.”
      Froch had the same conversation with himself after his knockout of George Groves at Wembley in the summer of 2014.
      He said: “I just think when you get to a certain level in boxing and you’ve made your money, and your legacy is secure, like me when I boxed at Wembley and chinned Groves, I had nothing else left to do.
      “You’re at the top of that mountain and all you can do is go down over the other side.”
      Joshua dismissed the notion of retirement after his Saudi showdown with Usyk and is set to return to the ring early next year.
      And promoter Eddie Hearn recently revealed AJ is leaning towards a trilogy fight with Dillian Whyte for his comeback bout.

      He told The DAZN Boxing Show: “In terms of names, talking to [Joshua] the other day, he wants to fight Dillian Whyte, really.
      “Dillian Whyte fights on November 26 against [Jermaine] Franklin, who is talking a tremendous game, and we’ll see how that plays out.
      “I think Dillian Whyte is the frontrunner [for Joshua] if he comes through.
      “Otto Wallin is a guy that has reached out numerous times.
      “That’s a good fight for him as well. Then there’s the [Deontay] Wilder situation.
      “I’m not saying that’s going to be the fight for January or February, but it’s definitely a fight that he’s looking at.
      Read More on The Sun
      “The feeling for AJ is the value of – and by the way, none of them are easy fights – a tune-up is sometimes they’re as dangerous as each other.
      “I don’t think he wants to start dropping out of the top 15 and top 10 of the governing bodies and just looking for an easy touch. I think he wants a real fight, and those are all real fights that you could see.” More

      Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva ON after UFC icon passes MRI scan and medical exams after UFC legend’s fitness was assessed

      by

      ANDERSON SILVA has been deemed medically fit to fight Jake Paul after passing an MRI scan and medical exams. The pair are due to fight over eight rounds in Arizona this weekend.

      But Silva, 47, caused concern after saying he was knocked out two times in training for the 187lb catchweight clash with Paul, 25.
      The UFC legend – speaking at the open workout – later clarified that it was just kidology and lost in translation.
      But the Arizona commission reacted by organising a meeting at 6.30pm local time to discuss the claims.
      Silva took an MRI scan on Wednesday, which along with previous medical exams all came back with “pristine” results.

      Commissioner Ara J. Feinstein, a trauma surgeon and ringside doctor, passed the Brazilian fit to fight.
      He said: “Given all the work we’ve done on concussion protocol and emphasis we’ve been placing on fighter safety, it just left me really concerned.
      “However, once I had further information, the letter from Silva, the written statement from his trainer, and more importantly, the results of the medical examinations and the approval of the physician reading the report, I became much more comfortable, and I have no objections to Mr. Silva participating in the event this Saturday.”
      Yancy Jencsok, the commission’s legal rep, added: “If commission has no concerns, they don’t need to do anything at all.”

      Paul reacted to the news by tweeting: “Stop playing with me! #PaulSilva is 1000% happening.”
      Silva initially addressed the comments when speaking to media members just three days out from the fight.
      He said: “Listen guys, let me tell you something very important.
      “When I talk about the guys doing the hard sparring and the knockout, it was just joking.
      “Because I’m training with the young kids and the guys asked me, and I don’t put nothing bad in my mind, and the guys say, ‘Oh, Anderson take knockout in training.’
      “Of course not. I just like to help and put my partners up, that’s the question.”
      Silva made the controversial comments during an interview with MMA Weekly.

      He said: “I’m training hard for win — I’m training with the good boxers, high-level, and five guys come to help me.
      “And the last sparring with [my sparring partner], he is knocked me out two times, and when I finish my training, I talked to my coach and even said, ‘Coach, let me tell you something, why the guys knock me out two times?’
      “And the coach said, ‘You need to prepare for war, and you prepare for war.’”
      Silva’s trainer Luiz Carlos Dorea denied the comments and Silva later released a statement addressing the situation.
      He wrote: “After seeing the reports and concern for me, I’d like to clarify two important things. One, I was NEVER knocked out in sparring.
      “I misspoke in that interview as I sometimes do when interviewing in English and exaggerated the normal back-and-forth action that occurs in sparring.

      “Second, this sparring session I referenced was in early September.
      “The interview with MMA Weekly was done on Sept. 13 and, for some reason, just released this week. So, it wasn’t recent.”

      ‘Just f***** fight’ – Jake Paul urges Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua to ‘give people what they want’ after failed talks

      His comeback fight comes after Tommy Fury, 23, and Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, both withdrew from fighting him in August.
      Paul has become tired of bouts falling through and took aim at the lack of boxing stars willing to put their records on the line.
      He said at the press conference: “Get these fights done, stop shooting yourself in the foot and being greedy.
      “Give the people what they want, don’t look at every term in the contract and try to change it. Just f****ng fight.

      “You spar everyday, why not get paid tens of millions of dollars to do it front of people?
      “They are very cared to risk their undefeated records but boxing needs these big fights, don’t let your manager or promoter stop you.
      “You’ve got to be in control.”
      Joshua, 33, and Fury, 34, failed to agree terms to a December 3 blockbuster in Wales, much to Paul’s frustration.

      He later told media: “It sucks for the fans, those are the ones that get hurt. It’s bad, this is why the sport has gone to bad places before.
      “It’s gone to scary moments where you think the sport is end up dying out because big fights like this aren’t happening.
      “Why didn’t we get Fury vs Joshua? There are so many instances where big fights should be made and they’re not.”
