      The YouTuber-turned-fighter, 26, takes on Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia tomorrow night.
      And insults have been flying back and forth after a heated weigh-in on Saturday.
      Earlier this month, Paul told SunSport he’s “matured” and no longer has to make crass personal insults to get under the skin of potential opponents.
      But there have been plenty of fighters who have been brutally called out by Paul in the past.

      CONOR McGREGOR
      Just over two years ago, Paul fired a crazy shot at UFC legend Conor McGregor in an explosive video posted online.
      That was despite only having two pro wins under his belt.
      Paul said:  “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.

      CARL FROCH
      Former world champ Froch took an unexpected pop at Paul last week, calling him a “clown.”
      This prompted a furious reaction from the American, who demanded Froch fight on the UNDERCARD of his next bout.
      Paul said: “Carl Froch mad because I made more in one year than he made his whole career.
      “You want the payday. I get it. So let’s do this, fight Anderson Silva on my next card.
      “If you get lucky and beat him, we can step in the ring and you make your career payday. Let me know.”

      This one comes as no surprise considering the pair had been verbally sparring for years ahead of tomorrow’s battle.
      But they almost came to blows after Paul beat Tyron Woodley last year after clashing in a corridor.
      Fury said: “You need to stop running my friend, let’s get it on.”
      Paul cheekily responded: “You can barely be my sparring partner for four rounds!”

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER
      The 50-0 Moneyman enjoyed a lucrative battle against Paul’s brother Logan, and his latest bout sees him take on Aaron Chalmers at the O2 Arena tonight.
      But that didn’t stop the younger sibling from slamming Mayweather’s “legacy” fights last year.
      Paul said: “Floyd Mayweather is ruining his legacy fighting no-name guys, wasting his fans’ money, wasting his fans’ time.
      “He doesn’t even know the names of the guys he’s fighting, and then he chooses to fight Comedy Shorts Gamer (Deji), influencer, to make some money to pay his tax bills.
      “Floyd Mayweather telling Jake Paul that you will only fight Jake Paul if he comes down to his weight, 140 pounds or something.
      “I can’t believe what’s going on in the world. I can’t believe this is real.
      “Floyd, I will fight you, and you know that’s one of the biggest fights to make in boxing.
      “I weigh 175, you weigh 165. We can get that done, make a couple 100 million.”

      Not many people are willing to mess with a two-weight UFC ex-champ.
      Cormier was left incensed by Paul’s disrespect to Woodley in 2021, saying: “The way this dude talked to T-Wood makes my skin crawl.
      “All these kids are going to get taught a less I swear.”
      This saw Paul respond: “OK fat boy, so me vs you and J (J’Leon Love) vs T?”
      Things then spilled over at UFC 261 as Cormier and Paul clashed in the stands.
      Cormier said after: “I pointed at him, said ‘don’t play with me’. Because I’ll slap that s*** out of him, I don’t play those games.”

      CANELO ALVAREZ
      Widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter, Alvarez is one of a kind.
      But with just six pro wins under his belt, Paul reckons he could put the Mexican in his place.
      That’s after beating UFC legend Anderson Silva in a shock result.
      Paul said: “This is just the start. I want Nate Diaz. Canelo, you too.
      “You guys said, ‘You can’t beat a striker, you can’t beat a legend like Anderson Silva.’ I just did it. So why can’t I beat Canelo?”

      After beating Silva, Paul also fixed his sights on fellow MMA star Diaz.

      Paul also called out Diaz for engaging in a mass brawl during the fight, saying: “Nate Diaz was here acting like a b***h.

      Ahead of the fight, they went face-to-face for the customary weigh-in, with a fiery exchange sparked as Fury pushed Paul.
      Paul posted a clip of the bust-up to his Instagram story.
      The story was put up with the caption: “I guess he doesn’t like his boobies touched.”
      In the video, Paul and Fury were seen squaring up to each others faces, with Fury declaring Paul was “s***ing himself”.

      I don’t wish harm on Tommy Fury’s life but I will KO him in decisive fashion and earn respect I deserve, says Jake Paul

      by

      JAKE PAUL has vowed to knock Tommy Fury out in decisive fashion – and finally earn the respect he feels is due. The celebrity boxing pair are set to end two years of feuding in the ring tomorrow night in Saudi Arabia.

      And the fight marks the first time Paul will face an opponent with prior professional boxing experience.
      But the YouTuber-turned prizefighter warned Fury will be left brutally unconscious – like the other victims on his record.
      And the savage nature of victory would leave no more doubt on his so-far polarising career as a boxer.
      Paul told SunSport in Riyadh: “I know I’m going to win but my goal is to knock him out and I know I’m capable of that if I execute my game plan properly. 
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “So I think knocking out the professional boxer in a cold, deceive, crazy way like I knock people out, that will get the respect. 
      “If it’s just a win, I think people will admit I can really box but it won’t be the full level of respect that I think I deserve. 
      “I have to earn it though on Sunday.” 
      Fury, 23, was forced to twice pull out of the pay-per-view grudge match before, amid injury and US visa issues.

      It has kept the feud festering but both stars have promised to bury one another’s careers in the Diriyah desert.
      Fury has even agreed to RETIRE and forfeit his purse if he fails to beat the prankster-gone-puncher.
      But Paul feels disregarded by his rival and insisted he is in for a rude awakening – as has been the case with his six prior opponents.
      He said: “I don’t ever wish harm upon his life by any means. 
      “I’ve always become friends with my opponents after the fight – I talk to Nate Robinson, I talk to Tyron Woodley, I talk to Anderson Silva. 
      “Who knows what will happen? I don’t know, we’ll see what happens. After I knock him out I hope he realises that I’m just a really good fighter. 
      “I think that’s what all my other opponents realised, they feel less bad about it the more people I beat. He shouldn’t feel bad. 
      “I’ve put Anderson Silva down, I’ve put Woodley down, I’m going to put him down. It’s not that big of a deal when you look at it like that.”

      Jake Paul accused Tommy Fury of refusing to sign their winner-take-all fight bet
      Paul upped the ante as he proposed a double-or-nothing wager, with Fury DOUBLING his purse if he wins, but walking away with nothing in defeat.
      And when they came face to face for the final time, he suggested his rival backed out of the bet.
      Paul said: “You didn’t want to sign the contract.”
      The two continued to squabble on stage before Fury shoved the YouTuber-turned boxer, sparking a row on stage.

      Paul later spoke out online to claim – despite paperwork being emailed – that Fury has not signed his end of the pre-fight bet.
      He said: “Alright get this, so as you guys saw the bet yesterday on stage, Tommy agreed to it, shook my hand on stage.
      “His dad said that they would agree to it, so I signed the contract right in front of them.

      “Put your money where your mouth is, you shook on it like a man and now you guys haven’t signed the actual contract to make it official. Soft.”
      Fury, joined by his champion brother Tyson on stage, came in slightly heavier at 184½lb, compared to Paul who was a career-lowest 183.6lb.

      But away from his final days of preparation, the Problem Child reignited his war of words with former super-middleweight world champ Froch, who previously labelled the YouTuber a “clown”.
      Paul, who has won his six pro boxing fights against amateurs, tweeted: “Carl Froch mad because I made more in one year than he made his whole career. You want the payday. I get it.
      “So let’s do this, fight Anderson Silva on my next card and if you get lucky and beat him, then we can step in the ring and you make your career payday. Let me know.”
      But Froch, 45, was having none of it as the retired 33-2 fighter responded with a video on Twitter and threatened to send Paul “into f***ing orbit”.

      When quizzed about the response from “The Cobra”, the American told BT Sport: “Carl, I like the hype, I like the s*** talk and think it’s great, but I want you to beat Anderson Silva.
      “If you can beat Anderson Silva and prove that you have still got it then I guarantee you that I will fight you. But I don’t think that you’re gonna do that.
      “You seem pretty desperate, you seem like you want money and that’s why you are talking all of this s*** randomly out of nowhere at your age.
      “Beat Anderson Silva and we can talk.”

      “He needs to grow his name in the Us as not many people in the US know him.
      “So for me to make big fights then they have to be a draw in the US as that’s where my fan base is.
      “That’s why I said fight Anderson Silva and then we’ll see what’s up.”

      Jake Paul and Tommy Fury will clash in Saudi ArabiaCredit: AFP
      This weekend, the pair will finally put the trash talk behind them to lace up their gloves for one epic battle.
      Fury said at the press conference earlier this week: “Look at my eyes. You’re getting put to sleep inside four rounds.
      “I’m a fresh young fighter. You had two lucky escapes at this fight. You should have taken escape, you’ve blown your ticket – I’m coming to take your head off.”
      Paul replied: “I think we make a deal. If you win – I’ll pay you double what I’m paying you already – but if I win I take everything I’m paying you since you’re so confident. Deal or no deal?”

      Fury gladly accepted.

      Big fight prediction
      This fight will come down to experience, and while neither fighter has much of it, Tommy has more.
      The Fighting Fury has been boxing since he was 14 or 15 years old and has the basic fundamentals that should carry him through here.
      Paul has come on leaps and bounds since his debut in 2019, but it’s going to be difficult for him to really impose himself against someone with a stiff jab and a long reach.
      If Fury gets going early and makes the middle of the ring his, hard jabs should keep Paul honest until the 23-year-old is ready to land something big.
      Fury has to be careful of Paul’s big overhand right, the one that knocked out Tyron Woodley.
      But as long as he avoids that, Fury wins this one with relative ease. Forget all the bluster.
