      Masvidal – who in 2019 beat Diaz – has been linked with fighting Paul too.
      But despite the rivalry, he admitted the American’s size, youth and activity gives him an edge heading into the bout.
      Although Masvidal, 37, is actually backing veteran Diaz, 38, to win.
      He told MMAJunkie: “It’s just the time of it. Jake’s obviously a lot younger than Nate. If Nate’s in his prime, I think he smokes Jake.

      “But Nate’s been out of it for a while. I don’t know what kind of shape his lifestyle is like outside a serious training camp.
      “He hasn’t been in a training camp in a while, so I don’t know. I think the odds are a lot on him.
      “Jake’s been competing and Jake’s naturally a lot bigger, but all that being said, I think Nate just finds a way to tough-guy it out and just beat up Jake and break him down. I think Jake will run a lot.”
      Paul, 26, suffered defeat for the first time in February, losing a split-decision in Saudi Arabia to Tommy Fury, 23.

      A rematch was expected to follow but instead the social media sensation announced he will instead fight Diaz.
      Meanwhile, Masivdal is now in retirement having hung up his gloves following defeat to Gilbert Burns, 36, his FOURTH in a row.
      But the fan-favourite has refused to rule out a return in either boxing or MMA down the line.

      ‘That guy will hurt you’ – WWE legend Ric Flair urges Jake Paul to avoid fighting 56-year-old boxing icon Mike Tyson

      by

      RIC FLAIR has strongly urged Jake Paul to avoid fighting Mike Tyson. The YouTuber-turned boxer has refused to rule out a bout with Tyson, who he is friends with and 30 years younger than.

      But WWE legend Flair insisted it is not a good idea – for Paul at least.
      He said on Joe Rogan’s podcast: “I’ll tell you what though, one thing he doesn’t wanna do is fight Mike.
      “He wants to fight Mike, I think. Mike’s in good shape too. Mike trains everyday. Yeah, he don’t wanna fight Mike.”
      UFC commentator Joe Rogan has been a big supporter of Paul’s boxing career, but also warned him about fighting Tyson.

      Rogan added: “Like, I don’t give a f*** if you think he’s 55-years-old, that guy will hurt you.
      “If Jake Paul’s on the other side of the ring and sees Mike Tyson just f*****g bobbing and weaving, he’s gonna have a recognition.
      “He’s gonna look over and go, ‘Oh my God, that’s really Mike Tyson.'”
      Tyson, 56, retired in 2005 but made a shock comeback 15 years later for an exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr, 54, which ended in a draw.

      It led to the likes of Paul, 26, being aligned with the heavyweight icon for a similar spectacle showdown.
      The American most recently lost to Tommy Fury, 23, in February and returns on August 5 in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38.
      Tyson was a special guest in Saudi Arabia the week Paul lost to Fury and admitted it had him reminiscing about his heyday.
      He said on his podcast: “I just always wanted to be a fighter. That’s all I wanted to do my whole life was be a fighter, nothing else.
      “I miss this stuff, I didn’t think I’d miss it until I was at the weigh-in in Saudi Arabia for [Paul-Fury]. You miss being the centre of attention.”
      Tyson has been linked with a rematch  with Jones as well as a trilogy bout against old rival Evander Holyfield, 60.
      Up until now Iron Mike has remained happy in retirement but leaves the door open to another exhibition.
      Tyson told TMZ Sports: “I don’t know, I’m just chilling out.

      “I did that, I wanted to do that, I did that. People also in Saudi Arabia want me to do this stuff too. I don’t know, I could be persuaded.”

      by

      MIKE TYSON is ready to make a stunning return to WWE to face Logan Paul and vowed to “kick his ass” – without even being paid. Tyson famously made his professional wrestling debut in 1998 while serving a boxing ban for biting Evander Holyfield’s ear the year before.

      And he later served as a special enforcer at WrestleMania 14 for Shawn Michaels and Steve Austin, earning $3million.
      Tyson again featured for the WWE in 2010 as a special guest host of Raw and two years later he was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
      YouTube star Paul – also a crossover boxer – is the latest celebrity to make a splash in the WWE ring.
      And Tyson, 56, has opened the door to challenging the social media sensation.

      He told Forbes: “Have you ever seen me wrestle before?
      “I would do it! I would kick his ass, yes I would do it. Even though I love him, though.
      “This is what I found out about WrestleMania: Everybody says ‘that’s fake, that’s fake.’ But the check is real.
      “Deep down inside—don’t let [WWE] know—I would do this for free.”

      Paul, 28, was linked with a boxing match against Tyson after his June 2021 exhibition with Floyd Mayweather, 46.
      The American hasn’t boxed since, having focused his efforts on the WWE after signing a deal with them.
      And Tyson talked down the chances of fighting Paul for real, despite making a boxing comeback of his own in 2020 for an exhibition bout.
      He said: “I don’t think he’s really that serious [about a boxing match], but I’m just happy he’s receiving the success that he has.
      “For my ego, I feel I had so much to do with that.”

      KSI says he is ‘very close’ to Tommy Fury fight but fears a win will scare Jake Paul away from bitter grudge match

      by

      KSI says he is “very close” to sealing a fight against Tommy Fury – but fears it could ultimately KO his grudge match with Jake Paul. The bitter YouTube rivals looked set to finally end their years of feuding with a blockbuster at the end of 2023.

      But that was until Paul suffered defeat for the first time, losing a split-decision to Fury in February in Saudi Arabia.
      The American snubbed a rematch or talks with KSI to instead return on August 5 in Texas against 38-year-old ex-UFC star Nate Diaz.
      So KSI will refuse to wait around for Paul and instead try to one-up his arch enemy by finishing what he started.
      KSI told SunSport: “He doesn’t want it. I want Tommy Fury.

      “I want Tommy Fury, simple as that. I’m not going to waste my time with Jake Paul.
      “He wants to fight Nate Diaz, an MMA fighter who isn’t known for his boxing; black belt in jujitsu, blah, blah, blah.
      “Maybe in the UFC ring it would be a bit more entertaining, in the MMA ring yeah, but in the boxing ring everyone just knows Jake is going to win that.
      “I’m not just going to waste my time, I’m going to go straight for Tommy and do what Jake Paul couldn’t.”

      KSI, 29, returns on May 13 at Wembley Arena against millionaire nightclub tycoon-turned 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40.
      But in the background, his promoter Kalle Sauerland revealed ongoing negotiations with Fury, 23, and his dad John.
      And KSI insisted the talks to face the brother of unbeaten heavyweight champion Tyson is no publicity stunt.
      He said: “It’s so funny, because a lot of people think it’s all cap.
      “A lot of people think I’m just chatting out my a***. Does it look like I’m chatting out my a***?
      “We’re working on it, man. Just a few thing but I think we’re very close and I’m pretty sure, fingers crossed by next week, we’ll see.”
      I’m not just going to waste my time, I’m going to go straight for Tommy and do what Jake Paul couldn’t.KSI
      KSI’s plan would deny Paul, 26, the chance to avenge his loss to Fury in a rematch many expected would follow.
      But the YouTuber, rapper and influencer boxer also believes beating the 9-0 British prospect could scare his nemesis off for good.
      KSI said: “I’m trying to think, do people still want to see it after I beat Tommy Fury?
      “Because then at that point everyone will be in my favour, everyone will be like, ‘Jake has no chance.’ And maybe Jake would also think that.
      “Maybe he’ll just avoid me and maybe he’ll just be happy with fighting MMA fighters.
      “Obviously, I want to destroy Jake, but it takes two to tango, man. If he doesn’t want to fight me, what can I do?

      The social media sensation gave fans a glimpse into his preparation as he fired off combinations on the heavy bag.
      And he fears it might put Fournier, 40, off having dealt with Alex Wassabi and Dillon Danis pulling out against him in the past.
      KSI told his Misfits promotion: “This is why we don’t like showing footage.

      “Because, every time we do it terrifies our opponent and then they pull out. Happened with Alex Wassabi, happened with Dillon Danis.
      “And I’m hoping it doesn’t happen with Joe Fournier because I’m a scary guy, I’m a dangerous guy and when I’m in the ring people understand the levels and they get scared.”
      KSI, 29, also revealed he will turn his attention to Tommy Fury, 23, if he beats Fournier at Wembley Arena.

      “I saw what Jake Paul did to Tommy Fury and I was like, ‘Wow, Jake is trash.’ Put me in with Tommy Fury and I’ll show everyone the levels.
      “And I know people are writing me off, saying I’m s***, I’m trash, I’m nowhere near Tommy Fury’s level.
      “And I’m like, ‘Alright, let’s see then.’ Put me in the ring with him, and let’s see and I’ll make you a f****g believer. Simple.”
