      by

      DANNY ROSE has revealed he sought legal advice after his infamous bust-up with Jose Mourinho went public without his knowledge.Rose said he was not made aware that their row was being filmed until it was included in Tottenham’s Amazon Prime documentary.Danny Rose has revealed he sought legal advice after his infamous bust-up with Jose Mourinho was part of Amazon Prime’s documentaryThe defender said he did not know that Mourinho had allowed cameras to be installed for the All or Nothing series in 2020.Rose sought legal advice when he found out a recording existed six months later.In the scene, Rose arrived in the then Spurs manager’s office to ask Mourinho what “his problem is”.The Amazon clip showed the pair butt heads about Rose’s game time, before the Special One accused the former full-back of not showing up against Liverpool.READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWSAnd in an appearance on former team-mate Kyle Walker’s BBC podcast, Rose explained that he was not informed until much later that their dispute was filmed.Rose said: “So when Poch was there. There were no cameras in his office. He didn’t allow that.”So when I’ve gone to knock on the door. I’m assuming there’s still no cameras in the office, but they’ve put one in now and I didn’t know that.”This chat is in December. I’d gone on loan to Newcastle in January. I didn’t then get notified by one of the lads until May.

It wasn’t like there was a huge falling out or anything like that.“I didn’t really have a relationship with him. It was just a normal player-manager relationship. ‘Hello. Good morning. How are you?'”Well, obviously he came in and he had this approach of wanting to build with three centre backs and then having the right back as the outlet.”And my game was more, you know, not more offensive but I enjoyed being offensive.”His system was that the left sided player at the back four would be a centre back who’s not going to be adventurous and go forward.”Already my days were numbered, you know, at the club when he wanted to adopt that approach.”Rose could be heard accusing Mourinho of effectively playing favourites. Rose thought he was being pushed out the door by MourinhoThe documentary showed Rose saying: “You’re right and I respect what you say. But other people have been s**t in training, s**t in games but play every game and are in the squad every game. “It’s not fair. The defence has kept two clean sheets, they play every game. It’s not fair.”The final straw for the 30-year-old came when he was axed again for the 0-0 draw at Watford on January 18.READ MORE SUN STORIESRose turned up at the club’s Enfield training HQ the following morning to have it out with his gaffer.He left at the end of the 2020-21 season after 14 years at the club and joined Watford, for whom he made nine appearances before agreeing to retire in 2022.Who are these famous footballers?

      Jake Paul offered world title fight by undefeated P4P boxing superstar who asks ‘so what are we gonna do?’

      by

      JAKE PAUL has been called out once more by undefeated boxing star Artur Beterbiev, who demands an answer.Paul, 27, defeated a much older Mike Tyson on Friday at the AT&T Stadium in Texas via unanimous decision after a controversial fight on Netflix.Jake Paul has been called out by boxing superstar Artur BeterbievCredit: GettyBeterbiev challenged Paul after his controversial victory over Mike TysonCredit: GettyBetewrbiev is demanding an answer after Paul’s sarcastic reactionCredit: PABesides the fact the stream crashed, many slammed the bout because the legendary Tyson’s advanced age of 58 was glaringly obvious.This marks another disputable boxing victory for the Problem Child, who has only faced one active professional boxer throughout his young four-year career in Tommy Fury who defeated him in 2023.Paul has so far beaten Tyson past his prime, YouTuber AnEsonGib, ex-basketball player Nate Robinson as well as MMA heroes Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz and Mike Perry.The YouTuber has also shared the ring with little-known boxers Andre August and Ryan Bourland, both of whom he beat.Read More on BoxingThat led to a challenge by Beterbiev, 39, who wants to see how Paul would fare against a legitimate boxer.In fact, the Russian bruiser offered him a shot at his undisputed WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO light heavyweight world titles on Instagram after the Tyson fight.Beterbiev posted on his story: “[Paul] What can you do in ring against the current undisputed champion? Just know that I’m always open to any suggestions.”Paul responded with a sarcastic tweet without actually answering the challenge.Most read in BoxingBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSThe undefeated top-five pound-for-pound star, who’s won all of his 21 fights, would be a huge step up in class after the social media star’s previous opponents – most of whom weren’t even boxers.Paul tweeted: “Just seen this….top 5 pound for pound fighter in the world calling me out. Hahahahahaha. 4 years in and I run this sport.”I sparred Artur Beterbiev and it’s by far the worst thing I’ve experienced in life Beterbiev, though, doubled down on his demand insisting it is time for the controversial YouTuber to have “serious challenges”.The undisputed champ responded: “After four years it’s time to have serious challenges. Didn’t notice your acceptance or rejection. So what are we gonna do?”Beterbiev is currently fourth the Ring Magazine’s pound-for-pound rankings after winning 20 fights via knockout. Paul vs Tyson shocking punch statsTHE punch stats from Mike Tyson’s defeat to Jake Paul made for “sad” reading.Veteran Iron Mike, 58, started strongly enough in his Netflix boxing fight with the former YouTuber.But he simply ran out of gas within the first few minutes of the eight-round contest.In the 16 minutes of action, the former undisputed heavyweight world champion landed just 18 punches – averaging just 2.25 successful hits per round.In total, he only attempted 97, meaning he made contact with just 18 per cent.By comparison, Paul, 27, threw a whopping 278 punches – nearly 200 more than his ageing opponent – but still only landed 78 for a success rate of 28 per cent despite his opponent barely moving.His most explosive round came in the third when the victorious Problem Child attempted 44 punches and connected with 16 of them.However, a woeful fifth round saw just four punches landed between the pair as the quality failed to live up to the hype and Paul refused to go for the knockout.
