      ‘You’re lost to me brother’ – Jake Paul’s incredible bust-up with Logan over Mike Tyson fight revealed in documentary

      by

      JAKE PAUL had an explosive argument with brother Logan before his fight with Mike Tyson. YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake was initially due to face Tyson last July when the heavyweight great was 57. Logan Paul and brother Jake at the premiere of their new TV seriesCredit: The Mega AgencyThe bout was marred in controversy amid the age gap and became a topic of conversation on Logan’s podcast which he co-hosts with Mike Majlak.And leading the criticism was Jake’s biggest rival KSI, who said: “Mike Tyson is 57 years old. “Like, yes in his prime this would’ve been crazy. Now it’s just like, sad.” Jake opened up on the brotherly feud in episode one of his family’s new eight-part reality show Paul American – airing on HBO’s Max. READ MORE IN BOXINGHe said: “Logan is constantly undermining me any chance he can get. “He’s siting there with my biggest enemy talking s*** about the biggest accomplishment of my life.”It’s just not what brothers should do.”Logan was doing a photoshoot for Prime – which he co-owns with ex-boxing opponent KSI – when he got an angry phone call from Jake. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSAnd Logan, 29, says: “No one’s not going to watch Mike Tyson because I said he was old. Everyone knows he’s old.” But Jake, 28, argued: “You are the closest person to it and you’re undermining it. Sitting there with KSI talking s*** about it.”My dad pitted me and Logan against each other growing up… but my kids will NEVER be like that, says Jake PaulLogan responded: “Bro, what the f*** podcast did you watch? I upped you the whole time. “I said you could knock him out in the second if you two were to actually go at it. You’re going to beat him.”A heated argument broke out when Jake says: “You’re so lost to me, brother.”And Logan fired back: “Who are your yes men? I’m not that. “I’m not that. Get other people to tell you it’s going to be a good fight against Mike Tyson, he’s f***ing old.”Jake replied: “I have amazing friends and family. You don’t even have a single f***ing friend, bro. Mike’s a f***ing paid friend.”Logan countered with: “You live in a house with your paid homies.” Before calling his brother a “f***ing b***h” for hanging up. The camera cuts back to Jake, who said: Jake: “Sometimes I just don’t get why Logan treats me this way. “It’s sociopathic lack of empathy for his younger brother and he’s constantly trying to tear me down.”We can go from hating each other to loving each other. And that’s what being a Paul is all about.Jake Paul The row did not stop there as the two then took the debate to text messages – which were shown on screen. Jake wrote: “You are truly a gaslighting, delusional, ego driven narcissist whoI can’t even trust, man. You need a lot of help, I pray for you.”Logan text back: “You are surrounded by yes men who will do anything to make the next check off you.”Moral compass skewed in directions I’ll never understand. “Lie to yourself and your friends, then call me a narcissist. Grab a mirror fam.”What is most impressive is amid the falling out, the two were pitching their all-access show to TV networks. And despite the behind-the-scenes civil war, the two managed to ace their interviews with top telly execs. Eventually the show landed on Max meanwhile Tyson was forced out of the fight against Jake due to a health precaution. They eventually fought in November with Jake winning on points and over 100 MILLION watching on Netflix. The warring brothers quickly reconciled – making it just another chaotic day in the Paul household.

      Former MotoGP champion Marc Marquez deliberately causes chaos on the grid before crashing out of race

      by

      MARC MARQUEZ caused chaos at Sunday’s MotoGP race as he bolted from the grid before the start of the race.The motorcycle racing championship was at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) this weekend – Formula One will race there in October – for the third race weekend of the season.Former MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez sparked chaos before Sunday’s raceCredit: ReutersMarquez was waiting on the grid after some rainfall at the trackCredit: RexBut he suddenly bolted from his spot and into the pitlane to get a new bike with slick tyresCredit: X @bikesontntMarquez admitted he played the rules to ensure he would not get a penaltyCredit: ReutersHowever, changeable conditions at the track sparked a bizarre sequence of events led by Marquez before the race had even started.Ahead of the scheduled start of the race, Marquez was sitting on his bike, which had been equipped with wet weather tyres following pre-race rainfall.But the six-time champion then suddenly bolted back to the pitlane to retrieve another bike, this one fitted with slick tyres for a dry track, for a pit lane start.The move from the 32-year-old prompted many of his rivals to follow suit and also change bikes from a wet to a dry fit, with three others gambling on slicks from the very beginning.READ MORE IN MOTORSPORTNormally such a move would lead to a penalty, however, if enough riders change vehicles then no penalties are applied and a new race start procedure takes place.And sure enough race director, Mike Webb, declared the race start would be delayed and take place under the original grid order – with Marquez on pole – and no penalties applied.Speaking following the race, the Spaniard revealed the act had been done on purpose after admitting the original strategy was not correct. He said: “I really know the rules and how to do that, and how to be on the limit all the time.Most read in MotorsportBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK“I asked to [Marco] Rigamonti (engineer) seven minutes before the start if the second bike was ready. He said to me yes, and then I said to him maybe I will leave the grid.“Why? Because I predicted that when I leave… I saw that the rain tyres was not the correct strategy.Ex-World Speedway Champion Tai Woffinden airlifted to hospital after horrifying crash“And then I predicted that more than 10 riders would follow me, and then they would stop the race. So, it’s what happened.”Marquez later added to TNT Sports: “Because I already know that if I leave the grid most people will follow and then the start will be delayed.”I understand with the Michelin guide that three or four riders were already with the slicks. “I saw that our strategy on wet was not a good one and then I forced that situation.”Marquez’s ingenious gamesmanship looked to have worked wonders after building up a two-second lead as the race approached the halfway stage.However, disaster struck at Turn 4 of lap nine when he suddenly crashed on the inside kerb of the corner.Marquez, who won the first two feature races and all three sprint races this season, rejoined the race on a badly damaged bike before retiring on lap 13.Ducati team-mate Pecco Bagnaia raced through to take the lead before converting it into his first win of the season.The Italian acknowledged the victory had only come about because of his team-mates crash, but was “very happy” to achieve his first win at COTA.Marquez’s crash allowed his brother Alex Marquez, who is riding for Gresini, to take a one-point lead in the rider’s championship.Read More on The SunMarquez, 28, has finished runner-up in all six races so far this season but is now leading the championship for the first time in his premier-class career.The next race weekend of MotoGP takes place in Qatar on April 13.

      Logan and Jake Paul’s dad feared sons would resort to PORN after moving to LA… before making $50MILLION in just one year

      GREG PAUL feared his sons Logan and Jake would have to resort to doing PORN when they first moved to Los Angeles. But instead, they became multimillionaire social media sensations. Jake Paul with his dad Greg and brother LoganCredit: RexThe pair were teenagers when they moved from their family home in Cleveland, Ohio to pursue a showbiz lifestyle in 2014. It left dad Greg imagining the worst when his two boys flew the nest – as revealed on the family’s new reality TV show called Paul American streaming on Max. Greg said: “Those guys moving to LA, we were like, f*** they are gonna end up doing porn because their s*** didn’t work out.”You know, you’re thinking all the worst things.”But it did not take long for his sons to put him at ease – as they raked in huge sums after becoming stars on YouTube.

Jake, 28, said: “Logan’s at his house with his friends doing crazy s*** everyday.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS”I had my whole squad called Team 10. At some point we just kind of started talking about who gets more views, who gets more subscribers and it manifested into this real life thing.”Logan admitted: “People liked this rivalry that we had and the line between reality and content starts to get blurred especially in your early 20s when content is your entire life.Jake Paul says having children will prolong his boxing career and wants them to be best friends with brother Logan’s kids”How can I get the most views and attention possible? So virtue, which is normally important in family, in brotherhood, was thrown out the window.”The brothers’ rivalry intensified with a series of diss tracks made against each other – with one of Logan’s songs reaching nearly 300MILLION views. It caused huge strain for their mum Pam, who opened up in episode one of the series: “I was calling, going mostly after Logan because he’s the older brother. “You’re supposed to be taking care of your younger brother. But why would thy listen to me? “They’re making much more money than I’ve ever made and what am I gonna do?”Logan said: “I look back now and I’m ashamed. I’m truly ashamed of whatever version of myself that was.”Since then, Jake and myself have got into a bit of a better place.”Logan and Jake moved to LA in 2014Credit: Getty – ContributorJake celebrates a boxing win with Logan in 2020Credit: GettyThe brothers have reconciled in recent yearsCredit: GettyThe brothers soon reconciled after starting their journeys as boxers together.

      Who is Mick Schumacher’s long-term girlfriend Laila Hasanovic? Miss Universe finalist-turned-social media sensation

      by

      MICK SCHUMACHER may find himself away from Formula 1 but off the track life is good.He’s loved up with his long term partner Laila Hasanovic – and engagement has been on the cards.Mick Schumacher with his long-term partner Laila HasanovicCredit: GettyThe couple are said to have recently got engaged with Laila already inside the Schumacher inner circleCredit: GettyLaila is a model from Denmark with Bosnian rootsCredit: InstagramSon of seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, Mick, has found regaining a spot amongst F1’s elite difficult.The 26-year-old driver started his professional motorsport career with Haas in 2021 before being released after two seasons, serving the next two as a reserve driver for McLaren and Mercedes.Nonetheless, Schumacher has been able to find solace away from racing. He has been with Laila Hasanovic for at least two years since going public in August 2023, with the model recently teasing fans by sharing a picture of a diamond ring.READ MORE IN SCHUMACHERShe is the only girlfriend Mick has had who has been allowed to to visit father Michael, according to German newspaper Bild.The seven-time world champion has not been seen in public since his skiing accident on a family holiday in Meribel, France, in 2013.Bild further says the family are ‘smitten’ with the model, who is regularly included in their family plans – so who is she? Life pre-SchumacherBorn in Bosnia and raised in Denmark, Laila Hasanovic was a prodigious model talent from early on.Most read in MotorsportHasonovich, 24, moved to the Danish capital, Copenhagen, at 19 after a year in Kentucky as an exchange student to add some experience on her promise.She was a finalist in the 2019 Miss Universe Denmark pageant, and once the global pandemic broke out the following year, she switched her attention from beauty contests to social media.She amassed 300k followers across Instagram and TikTok in the three years following the worldwide outbreak that saw people stuck in their homes – and has doubled that since dating Schumacher.Strides in modelling Initially working a local paper-round in her early teens before harbouring short-lived ambitions in criminology, Hasonovich has made significant strides on the modelling front.A first break in the game via watch brand Daniel Wellington has transpired to being signed on by PRM Agency and full-blown photo-shoots.Soon-to-be SchumacherHasonovich and Schumacher had to bat away various claims that the couple got engaged October last year.She posted a photo of her hand in July, which appeared to show an engagement ring.Understandably, fans leaped into conclusions before having the news broken by Hasonovich.She posted a second picture of her jewellery, writing on Instagram: “and no it’s not an engagement ring u guyssss”.However, the noise around a possible engagement continues is getting louder as the bond between the model and the Schumacher family grows stronger.Laila has even paid tribute to Michael on social media in the past with a touching tribute.Laila, left, with Michael’s manager Sabine Kehm, centre, and his wife Corinna, right, watching Mick during a race earlier this yearCredit: RexLast March she posted a series of photos to her Instagram followers showing off her handbag and room.In one of the snaps her AirPod case can be seen with the iconic No 47 logo emblazoned on it.Read More on The SunFans of Michael quickly spotted the No 47 which is still seen as synonymous with the driver as he drove under that number.Meanwhile, in August 2023, Mick told RTL with a smile: “I’m really happy”, and “doesn’t want to hide” his love for Laila.  More
