    Jake Paul promises he will make huge KSI grudge match happen but says rival is ‘hiding’ from fight

    JAKE PAUL has promised to make sure he finally fights KSI but claimed his rival is hiding behind contract clauses. The YouTubers-turned boxers have rivalled ever since KSI beat Jake’s brother Logan in their 2019 rematch following their draw a year earlier.

    But KSI has since teamed up with Logan to form the surging drinks company Prime – which has caused friction with Jake.
    It has set the stage for the mother of all grudge matches in the influencer boxing space but no deal has been struck.
    And while speaking to Twitch streamer Adin Ross, Jake claimed there is only one man to blame for that.
    He said: “It’s gonna happen, it I mean it has to happen. It has to happen, we’ll make it happen, for sure.

    “I’ve been trying to do it, man. He then goes online and like lies about it. Certain clauses and stuff.
    “What happens in boxing is if they don’t really want to do it, they just hide behind all these crazy clauses to make it seem like it’s the contract that’s holding everything up but really it’s the person who doesn’t want to do it.
    “And it’s like look, I’ve fought everybody, every single time. Anyone who asks to fight me, I did the deal, I made it happen.
    “They want ten round? OK, cool. They want this? OK, let’s f***ing do it. So I make these fights happen back to back to back to back for past three-and-a-half years.

    “And people think that I’m the one that wouldn’t make it happen? It’s like, come on guys let’s be realistic here.
    “And I told them, I’ll do it in the UK, you can be the A-side, I don’t give a f*** about any of that.
    “So it’s like, where is the contract hold up? Oh no, you just don’t want to do it.”
    KSI’s manager Mams Taylor hit back: “Does this guy actually ever stop lying? It’s so natural to him it’s scary.”
    Jake, 26, was beaten for the first time in February, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.
    But he snubbed a rematch to instead return in August to beat ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, over ten rounds.
    Now Fury is set to fight KSI, 30, on October 14 in Manchester with Jake set to be in attendance with Logan, 28, fighting on the undercard.

    The videos saw them face off with each other in a number of videos on the FIFA video game series – re-branded this year to EA Sports FC.
    Speaking to BettingSites.co.uk about the link-up, Frimpong said: ” I did make videos with KSI around 12 years ago, when he was coming up in the YouTube scene, and now he’s done very well for himself.
    “We don’t talk because we’re not close friends but follow each other on social media because we have previously worked together.
    “If I did message him, I think he would be humble enough to message me back, but we have nothing to talk about!

    “I congratulate him and wish him even more success because what he’s done and where he has come from is amazing.”
    YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI has amassed a huge following online, with more than 40million fans across his YouTube channels and nearly 34m on other major social media.
    His popularity has also helped him obtain a sizeable fortune, with the 30-year-old estimated to be worth a whopping £20m.
    However, Frimpong, 31, has revealed he was not paid for his appearances in some of the vids, despite them being watched by millions of people.

    He added: “KSI didn’t pay me for the last couple of FIFA videos I did with him years ago, so I might have to give him a message and ask for it now!
    “I always looked to work with people who were talented like KSI, but I don’t think we can have another round of FIFA because he’s moved on from that type of content.”
    Frimpong made 16 appearances for Arsenal after emerging from the club’s academy.
    He would go on to leave in 2014 following loan transfers to Charlton, Fulham and Barnsley, before retiring in 2018 due to a persistent knee injury.
    KSI, despite building his name from gaming in his bedroom as a teen, is now just as well known for his exploits into music, films, influencer boxing and business ventures such as PRIME Hydration.
    KSI is lined up to fight Love Island star Tommy Fury on October 14.
    But before that he is due to star in the Sidemen Charity Match on Saturday.
    Last year saw a 15-goal thriller at Charlton’s The Valley which raised an incredible £1m for charities.
    And this year they are hoping to top that, upgrading their venue to West Ham’s London Stadium which sold out it’s 62,000 allocation.

    GABRIELA Cavallin is a social media influencer who used to date Manchester United’s £85million winger Antony.But who is Gabriela and when did she date the football star?
    Selfie posted by Gabriela Cavallin, ex-girlfriend of Man Utd’s Antony, on InstagramCredit: Instagram
    Who is Gabriela Cavallin?
    Gabriela Cavallin was born on October 31, 2000.
    She is a DJ, model, social media influencer and the ex-girlfriend of Manchester United and Brazil player Antony Matheus dos Santos.
    The couple’s romance was first made public in 2022.
    Gabriela has initiated legal proceedings in Brazil and the UK against the footballer.
    READ MORE ON ANTONY
    When did Gabriela Cavallin date Antony?
    Cavallin and Antony were in an on-and-off relationship for around two years between 2021 and 2023.
    The couple started dating while Antony was playing for Ajax and lived with him in Amsterdam.
    On July 5, 2023 Gabriela filed a police report in São Paulo accusing Antony of domestic violence.
    Gabriela claims the first assault came at a nightclub in the Brazilian city when she was around 17 weeks pregnant with his baby.
    Most read in Football
    She made new claims of abuse just days after Mason Greenwood was axed by Man Utd following his arrest for assault and controlling and abusive behaviour towards his ex Harriet Robson, although the charges were dropped.
    On September 4, 2023 the influencer published a letter issued by her legal team.
    It read: “Gabriela Cavallin’s defence, in view of the facts and evidence that became public knowledge on this date, regarding the repeated episodes of aggression suffered by her, informs that she trusts the serious and competent investigation by the Civil Police of São Paulo.
    “[And] hopes that, as such, once completed, the aggressor will be prosecuted and punished for the crimes he committed.”
    A statement from Antony was also published in the same evening, where he said he felt “obliged” to break his silence “out of respect for my fans, friends and family”.
    The 23-year-old footballer once again denied the accusations of domestic violence after a first statement published in June.
    “Out of respect for my fans, friends and family, I feel obliged to speak out publicly about the false accusations that I have been a victim of,” he wrote.
    “From the beginning, I have treated this matter with seriousness and respect, providing the necessary clarifications to the police.
    “The investigation is under judicial secrecy, and therefore I cannot make its contents public.
    “However, I can calmly say that the accusations are false, and that the current evidence and the ones yet to be produced demonstrate my innocence.”
    The Manchester United star described it as a “tumultuous relationship” after the accusations of abuse surfaced.
    Does Gabriela Cavallin have any children?
    In July, 2023 Gabriela shared on social media that she had suffered a miscarriage.
    The baby boy would have have been named Luca Mateo.
    It is unclear whether she has had any children previously.
    Is Gabriela Cavallin on social media?
    Yes, Gabriela is on social media.

    She is an online influencer and her content focusses on travel, nightlife and her modelling.
    Cavallin has nearly 500,000 followers on Instagram. More

    But the build-up to the clash has seen Danis overstep the mark on a number of occasions.
    He has repeatedly taken aim at Paul’s partner Nina, 31, leaking an X-rated video of her last month.
    He has also made reference to her previously dating actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
    And his latest attempt to wind his boxing rival up was to post an old image on Twitter of the Danish model alongside ex-Man Utd man Forlan, 44.

    IShowSpeed breaks down in tears and quits YouTube stream after being fooled into thinking Cristiano Ronaldo had died

    ISHOWSPEED has made the headlines again with the internet star’s reaction to fake reports of Cristiano Ronaldo’s death going viral on social media.During a recent livestream, the YouTuber, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr., appeared to cry as he scrolled through X posts that claimed the soccer legend had passed away.

    A video that captured IShowSpeed’s reaction showed him yelling expletives and saying he “got tight” after spotting the first fake claim.
    He then proceeded to read more posts that falsely stated that Ronaldo – who scored two goals in Al-Nassr’s recent 4-0 win over Al-Shabab – was dead.
    “Oh my God!” the YouTuber, 18, gasped before he appeared to have started choking up.
    As the stream went on, he could be seen screaming “What the f**k is going on?” repeatedly.

    IShowSpeed also said: “I’m going to freak the f**k out. Stop f***ing playing.
    “If y’all playing, stop playing right now, bro. Say it’s fake right now. Say it’s fake!
    “If it’s fake say ‘fake,’ if it’s real say it’s ‘real.’ Right now, bro. Right now!”
    IShowSpeed eventually went silent for about 20 seconds before reportedly ending the stream.

    But most social media users who commented on the viral clip thought that the YouTuber only pretended he was being fooled by the death hoax.
    Many of them pointed out that he could have quickly found out that Ronaldo was alive by using Google.
    IShowSpeed adores Ronaldo, 38, and once flew all the way to the UK to watch him play for Manchester United – only to learn that the Portuguese star would miss the game.
    The influencer met the ex-Real Madrid ace earlier this year and got to pose for a photo together while wearing his Portugal jersey.
    IShowSpeed has grown a huge audience since he started streaming while playing Valorant, Roblox, Fortnite, or Fifa in 2017.
    He has over 20.1million subscribers on YouTube as well as 12million followers on Instagram and 22.5million on TikTok. More
