The controversial clash has now been rescheduled to November 15 – with Tyson claiming he is better than ever. But KSI is not so convinced as he blamed a weight disagreement for preventing their bitter grudge match. He told SunSport: “Jake’s just getting heavier and heavier and heavier, obviously, because he’s just looking at the Mike Tyson fight – which I still don’t think is gonna happen.READ MORE IN BOXING“I think they’re gonna try and make an ordeal, and then eventually Mike will realise he actually can’t fight, and then I don’t know what they’re gonna do then.“But for me, the Jake fight, I’m just gonna wait. I don’t really need to chase him, eventually he’s gonna have no other options, but to have to come to me.“He’s just not trying to get involved. He’s in a bit of an awkward situation, so I think for him it’s probably easier if he just leaves it.”Ex-UFC star and bare-knuckle boxing champion Mike Perry, 32, filled in to replace Tyson but was floored three times and stopped in six by Paul.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSBut KSI goaded that it was a box office flop compared to his pay-per-view events.

    Kyle Walker ‘readying lawyers’ for another court battle with Lauryn Goodman as he ‘considers launching harassment case’

    KYLE Walker is geared up to launch a harassment case against Lauryn Goodman after revealing a heartbreaking confession.The Man City defender, 34, is considering taking legal action against his ex-mistress to prevent her from sharing their personal life on social media.Kyle Walker is reportedly considering legal action against Lauryn Goodman to protect his childrenCredit: PAThe influencer shares two children with the Man City aceCredit: GettyPals of the £150,000 a week pro claim he has already been in touch with lawyers as influencer Lauryn, 33, continues to air her grievances online.A source said Kyle is “carefully looking at options” and has heard advice from two law firms in order to protect his children. The footballer shares four sons with scorned wife Annie Kilner, who last week blocked his return to their family £4million Cheshire mansion.It is understood the love rat was hoping for a reconciliation after their Turkey and Wales holidays. Instead, the footballer has been forced to stay in Premier League owned apartment.The source claimed Kyle wants to protect Roman, Riaan, Reign and Rezon, from any online harm as Lauryn continues to post following their bitter court row last month.A judge slammed the Celebs Go Dating star for using her footballer baby-dad as an “open-ended cheque book”.Her eye-watering list of demands was unveiled bombshell documents.Most read in FootballThey included £33,000 for air conditioning at her seven-bedroom mansion in Hove, Sussex, a £22,000 furnishing fund, £70,000 for a Mercedes GLE, to be replaced every three years, and a £30,000 car allowance for a nanny.But Lauryn later blasted Judge Edward Hess on social media and pokes fun at his comments. Multi-millionaire Kyle Walker forced to bed down in apartment block despite owning two mega mansions after messy splitShe replied to one fan: “I hope Hess got the publicity I think he craved.”And the influencer has also since claimed Kyle told her he had never “for a ­second” been sorry they had got together and wanted to “have my cake and eat it”.She alleged her ex-lover wanted to bed her on a date in a London hotel room — days before he said publicly he regretted their “mistake” of a relationship.The influencer added that the Man City star “wanted a secret double life playing happy families” with their two kids.In an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday, Lauryn said he told her: “We can keep this between you and me.”’SPY ON HIM’Meanwhile, as reported by the MailOnline, the mum-of-two also allegedly asked one of Kyle’s mates to “spy on him”.The claimed the Celebs Go Dating star demanded they inform her where he, Annie and the kids were going on holiday.”She wanted all the details spread on social media, I guess just to embarrass him,” claimed the source.”I wasn’t comfortable with what she was saying and wanted no part of it but shows how much she wants to get at him.”I wanted no part of it.”A spokesperson for Lauryn denied these claims.It is not the first allegation against the influencer, as just last month a Kyle’s neighbour claimed Lauryn asked her to keep tabs on him and Annie in a bid to break their marriage up.Jasmine David, 51, recalled: “It was becoming clear how desperate she was, how obsessed she was with them.“She wanted to know if his car was parked up and if he was there, what he was doing.“I feel sorry for her to a certain degree. We have no idea what kind of things he said to her or what he promised. But in the end, she became hell-bent on breaking them up.”And, Lauryn’s own sister, glamour model Chloe, slammed the mum-of-two and vowed she couldn’t forgive her.She told The Sun how the feud saw her disinvite her sister from her dream wedding, claiming she had been “kept in the dark”.It comes after Lauryn sent a bombshell message to Annie on Boxing Day revealing Kyle fathered her second child.Annie, who was pregnant with Rezon at the time, swiftly kicked the £150,000-a-week defender out of their family home.She had previously welcomed him back after it was exposed he was dad to Lauryn’s son Kario.In an exclusive interview with The Sun soon after his second love child was revealed, Kyle publicly apologised to his estranged wife.He spoke of his desire to save the marriage and described Annie as his “soulmate”.She was later at the Etihad Stadium to support him as City won the title for a record fourth time in a row.READ MORE SUN STORIESAnd she attended all but one of England’s matches at the Euros in Germany.Lauryn also travelled to one of them with their son, Kairo, four.Kyle Walker’s sit-down interview with The SunBy Paul SimsENGLAND ace Kyle Walker admitted in January he made “idiot choices and idiot decisions” over his secret child and ­bitterly regrets betraying soulmate wife Annie.In a sit-down interview with The Sun, this is what he said.“What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility.“I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I’ve tried to ask her but there’s pain and hurt.“The man that’s meant to love, care and be there for her, did this.“There have been days in this ordeal where I’ve just wanted to curl up in a ball and go to sleep.“The only person to blame is me. I have roles and responsibilities that I’m aware of and I’ve made stupid choices. But I need to own up to my mistakes — I owe it to everyone.“My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I’m sorry because, as a family, this isn’t meant to happen.“I am a private man but I accept that I am a public figure and I need to address what I’ve done.“It hasn’t helped that it has been played out in the media. But I’ve chosen to speak now in the hope that I can at least explain myself and enable my wife and children to have the privacy they so desperately need and deserve.“When I met Annie at 17, I never envisaged my private life being like this. I never thought I would be a father of six.“In football I’ve achieved more than what I ever thought I would achieve. But to personally hurt what I truly believe is my best friend, that’s what hurts a lot.“How could I hurt someone I love so much? That’s something I need to find in myself.“I need to find out why I have done this and why situations have occurred. I am human and I’ve made mistakes on and off the field.“The ones off the field are definitely more damaging and have been more hurtful to me.“Football has been my life since I was six but my family comes before anything on this planet. At the moment, they’re hurting enormously.“My little boy goes to sleep with me every night and to not have him . . . I’m used to being away for long periods of time with England.”We say goodnight on FaceTime. But to know that I’m not with him because of my mistake — mistake is probably the wrong word, my choices — that’s what pains me.”The mum-of-two was slammed by a judge for using Kyle as an ‘open-ended cheque book’Credit: SplashIt is understood the footballer wants to protect his childrenCredit: Rex More
