    After which, Paul thinks he’s in need of a rest from boxing.
    The YouTube star, 24, made his professional debut in January 2020, and has since become one of the most polarising figures in the sport.
    In Paul’s first three fights, he beat YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
    But his win over eight rounds against ex-UFC champion Woodley, 39, was his biggest to date.
    Their rematch will mark Paul’s fourth fight in just over a year and leaves the workaholic American finally ready to take a rest with his other half.
    He said on his brother Logan’s podcast: “I wanna go on vacation with Julia, travel the world.
    “I haven’t done much, you know. I didn’t feel like I deserved a vacation and I haven’t really taken one.

    “It’s only really been like a work vacation for like a week but like, you’re still filming content or like, doing stuff.
    “I really want to take some time off, for sure. 100 per cent.”
    Paul and Rose have enjoyed an on-off relationship over the last couple of years.
    Rose is an American actress, reality TV star and the founder of ‘Shagmag’, an online publication that features photos of Instagram models.
    The 27-year-old shot to fame when she and fellow models Lauren Summer and Kayla Lauren flashed Houston Astros pitcher Gerrit Cole at the 2019 World Series.
    FURY FIGHT AXED
    Paul was due to fight Tommy Fury, 22, the brother of heavyweight champion Tyson, 33, until his online rival pulled out.
    Fury withdrew following a chest infection and broken rib but was swiftly replaced by Woodley, who was training on standby.
    Paul confirmed: “It’s official: Tommy Fury is the biggest bitch in boxing.
    “He has withdrawn from the fight. The Fury withdrew from the fight due to a ‘medical condition’.
    “Who knows what the hell is going on in that camp – I couldn’t believe the news at first. It doesn’t even seem real.
    “He lost the biggest opportunity of his life. Now he’ll be looking at home, paying me 60 dollars instead of getting paid millions of dollars to fight me.
    “I have fought with a broken nose, sick, damn it, this is boxing. It’s official; He was scared, I think the trash talk affected him.
    “The good news is that we spoke to Mr Tyron Woodley, and we said; ‘Hey, do you want to fight?’ He has been training.
    “He answered us; ‘Sure, I’ll take the fight, let’s do the rematch.’ I’ll give you an extra 500,000 dollars if you can knock me out.
    “Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley 2: Leave no Doubt. I didn’t knock him out the first time.
    “I’m going back and get a crazy win, with a crazy knockout for the highlights. The show must go on.”

    “They’re not as prepared as me. And like, Tommy Fury, he pulled out of the fight because of some silly, little thing. I’ve fought with a broken nose. I’ve fought sick. The list goes on.

    And he recently chatted with newly crowned lightweight champion Kambosos, 28, over FaceTime after the Australian stunned Teofimo Lopez, 24, in New York.
    Kambosos told Helen Yee:  “He was so excited, obviously I was excited to chat with him.
    “He is a global star, and I gave him a few tips on his fight just believing you know no matter what, because he is in a tough fight as well.
    “And a lot of people are saying that he might not be able to win this fight. Like they were saying with me.
    “But if you believe in yourself, you can achieve everything.”
    In Paul’s first three fights, he beat YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.

    But in August, the American improved to 4-0 with a win over eight rounds against ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39.
    On the undercard, Fury, 22, beat Paul’s sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32, to move to 7-0 and set up the mega-fight.
    Kambosos added: “I think it’ll be a good fight, I think it’ll be a great fight and I think, he’s [Paul] very focused.
    “As much as he’s a YouTuber and comes from that side of things, he really dedicated himself in boxing.
    “So I think he’ll be able to do the business but again, Tommy Fury is from that lineage of the Fury family so they are gonna come and fight.
    “It will be an exciting fight.” More

    Jake Paul releases never-before-seen clip of brutal Nate Robinson knockout and says ‘I’m doing this to Tommy Fury’

    JAKE PAUL released a never-before-seen clip of his brutal knockout over Nate Robinson – and promised to do the same to Tommy Fury. Paul fought ex-NBA star Robinson in his second professional bout, having debuted with a one-round win over YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’ the same year.

    The social media sensation scored three knockdowns over two rounds, the last in which emphatically closing the show.
    And with his next fight against Tyson Fury’s brother just three weeks away, Paul send out a fierce warning.
    He posted on Instagram: “One year ago today I put Nate to sleep. December 18 I’m doing this to Tommy.”
    Robinson, 37, who looked well out of his depth in the ring, was floored with a heavy overhand right.
    He somehow beat the count and even more shockingly the referee allowed the fight to continue, only for Paul to land another massive right hand.
    Following that win, the YouTuber went on to beat retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37, in the first two minutes of their fight in April.

    In August, Paul won against ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, over eight rounds, the biggest win of his boxing career.
    On the undercard, Fury, 22, beat Paul’s sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32, to set up the celebrity grudge match.
    The online rivals will put their unbeaten records, reputation and bragging rights on the line on December 18 in Florida.
    Fury is more experienced at 7-0 and will also be Paul’s first opponent with prior pro boxing experience.
    But the unbeaten American is heading into his third pay-per-view headliner and becoming the star of his own show.

    Jake Paul has been sparring with ‘top’ cruiserweights and light-heavyweights for Tommy Fury fight and can ‘really punch’

    JAKE PAUL is sparring ‘top’ cruiserweights and light-heavyweights for his fight with Tommy Fury and can ‘really punch’, his coach said. Paul faces Fury over eight rounds at a 192lb catchweight bout on December 18 in Florida.

    It will be his fifth fight but the first time against an opponent with prior professional boxing experience.
    Since Paul’s debut in January 2020, he has put an emphasis on hard sparring, using his celebrity profile to attract big names in the gym.
    And that has been no different for this camp, his second in Puerto Rico, with 10-0 Nikita Ababiy, 23, the latest name training with the YouTube star.
    Paul’s trainer BJ Flores told BoxingScene: “We are now less than five weeks away and the closer this thing gets, the happier Jake is.
    “Look, Jake has some big advantages in this matchup.
    “Jake has been in the ring for hundreds of rounds with many top fighters in the country, quietly traveling all over the USA, sparring, gaining hundreds of necessary rounds to prepare him for a fight like this.
    “The one thing consistent amongst all the sparring partners is this – Jake can really punch.”

    In Paul’s first three fights, he beat YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
    But in August, the American improved to 4-0 with a win over eight rounds against ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39.
    On the undercard, Fury, 22, beat Paul’s sparring partner Anthony Taylor, 32, to move to 7-0 and set up the mega-fight.
    The 2019 Love Island star is the more experienced boxer, but Paul, 24, is entering his third pay-per-view main-event.
    And he has a slight height and natural weight advantage over Fury, who has campaigned at light-heavyweight for most of his career.
    Flores said: “We really hope Tommy does what he says he’s gonna do and that he comes to the middle of the ring and tries to bang with Jake.
    “Size, strength, and power – Jake has big advantages. Tommy is going to find it very difficult when he gets hit with the first clean punch,” said Flores. 
    “Jake has been sparring with the top cruisers and light heavys in America over the last eight weeks and 24 months.
    “He is ready to go right now. The key is just keeping him sharp and making sure he’s peaking on December 18th.”

    Due to a prior criminal conviction, John is unable to travel to America to corner his son, with eldest Tyson and his coach Sugarhill Steward taking charge.
    But the proud dad has been in camp with Tommy, 22, and WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, 33, in their Morecambe training base.
    And John promised Paul, 24, poses no threat to them, due to the high level sparring they have been doing.
    He told Boxing Social: “People like to see you do well, but not as well as them.
    “But I’m telling you now, however they feel, they feel bad enough today, but come the 19th of December, they’re going to feel a lot worse.
    “Because they are praying for Jake Paul to do something what is impossible.

    “This is impossible, I’m saying impossible for Jake Paul to even give him a fight.
    “We’re sparring top class kids here, touted to be world champions. Olympic bronze medallists in Tokyo, ten and 15-0 guys.
    “The best we’ve got, the best light-heavyweights, the best cruiserweights, and the best heavyweights, this man has been dealing with them.
    “So what the hell in cat and hell’s chance does Jake Paul stand in beating Tommy? But, you know, jealousy, keep it coming.
    “The Furys thrive off hate. We’re the most trolled and hated people on earth, but you know what? We’re on top of the world.
    “So, all them haters, keep hating, you’re making us very rich in doing so.”
    In Paul’s first three fights, he beat YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
    But his win last time out against ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, was his biggest to date.
    On the undercard that night, Tommy improved to 7-0 by beating Paul’s sparring parter Anthony Taylor, 32, setting up the celebrity grudge match.

    The 2019 Love Island star is the more experienced boxer, but Paul is entering his third pay-per-view main-event.
    And he has a slight height and natural weight advantage over Fury, who has campaigned at light-heavyweight for most of his career.
    Flores said: “We really hope Tommy does what he says he’s gonna do and that he comes to the middle of the ring and tries to bang with Jake.
    “Size, strength, and power – Jake has big advantages. Tommy is going to find it very difficult when he gets hit with the first clean punch.”

    ‘Stretcher job’ – Tyson Fury predicts ‘dynamite KO king’ brother Tommy will leave Jake Paul ‘on oxygen’ in grudge match

    TYSON FURY backed brother Tommy to do a ‘stretcher job’ on Jake Paul and leave him ‘on oxygen’. WBC champion Fury is coaching and set to corner Tommy for the December 18 clash in Florida.

    The 2019 Love Island star is the more experienced at 7-0, with four knockouts, and will be Paul’s first opponent with prior professional boxing experience.
    And unbeaten heavyweight Fury predicted a demolition job for his little brother, who was dubbed a ‘dynamite KO king’.
    He told Queensberry Promotions: “I think Tommy Fury lays Jake Paul out cold – stretcher job, on oxygen and all that.
    “Like a proper ‘big dirty knockout’ as Tommy calls it. I don’t mean like a, ‘Wow, he’s gone down’.
    “I mean like, proper unconscious knockout. Like when they put the oxygen on him to bring him back round and all that.
    “Because it’s one thing playing around at boxing, but when you’re messing with a dynamite KO king like him, wow, you’re in for some serious trouble.
    “And if you’re not used to getting hit, you can get seriously damaged.”

    Tommy signed a two-bout deal with US network Showtime and in August fought and beat Paul’s sparring partner Anthony Taylor.
    It went the full four rounds and was comfortable enough for the Brit, 22, but the performance lacked any real conviction.
    Paul, 24, later on in the night beat ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 39, and set up a celebrity grudge match with Tommy.
    The social media star has continued to mock his rival’s performance, but Gypsy King Fury claimed it was all part of the masterplan.
    He said: “Tommy looked terrible on purpose so he could get this fight, that is what clever people do.
    In Paul’s first three fights, he beat YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 37.
    But his win last time out against Woodley was his biggest to date, while Tommy improved to 7-0 by beating Taylor, 32.
