      Jake Paul exchanges Instagram messages with PFL star Brendan Loughnane after being urged to fight Nate Diaz in MMA debut

      by

      The YouTuber-turned boxer will head up a new “super-fight” series, away from the PFL’s usual regular season. 
      That consists of qualifying and knockout stages, where points are earned per method of victory in the opening two bouts.
      The top four in each weight then progress into the victory-or-go-home stage.
      It sets up a winner-take-all finale fight where a title belt and $1million cash prize lays in wait.

      Britain’s Loughnane went all the way last year and returns this season defending his featherweight crown and eyeing another cash prize. 
      And he has the backing of Paul, after the pair exchanged DMs on social media. 
      Loughnane told ESPN: “I like Jake. Me and Jake have been conversating since he took PFL stakes.
      “He must have realised who I was then. He added me on Instagram, we’ve been talking back and forth.

      “Jake’s a cool guy. I’m glad he’s bringing more eyes to the PFL. Keep them all coming.”
      Loughnane, 33, kicks off his 2023 campaign on Saturday in Las Vegas against ex-UFC title challenger Marlos Moraes, 34. 
      Meanwhile Paul, 26, is coming off his first career loss following a split-decision defeat to Tommy Fury, 23, in Febuary. 
      The pair look set to rematch following the success of their pay-per-view blockbuster in Saudi Arabia. 
      And it could further backdate Paul’s impending debut in the PFL cage but Loughnane wants to see him face Nate Diaz, 37, in a two-fight deal. 
      He said: “Here’s what I want. I want them to fight in boxing, and then I want them to rematch in PFL. Exciting times. Let’s put it that way.”

      by

      He said on his YouTube channel: “I’d fight Conor McGregor in the cage.
      “I could be getting myself in trouble here or into a position I can’t wiggle out of, but I think I’d take him on in the cage. He’s too small.”
      McGregor hit back with a laughing face and tweeted promoter Eddie Hearn: “Get this signed up lad.”
      The Irishman, 34, has boxed professionally just once before, losing to American legend Floyd Mayweather, 45, in 2017.

      Froch, 45, commentated that night and was full of criticism for McGregor.
      And the former featherweight and lightweight UFC champ fired back last year in a furious rant about Froch.
      McGregor tweeted: “I’ll grab his head and twist it clean off at a 1er with my bare hands.
      “Little wally of a thing I’ll slap you around you little toffee nose toss pot.”

      Froch – who retired from boxing in 2014 – insisted it would be a mismatch if the two were to fight in the ring.
      He told Boxing UK: “He’s not a boxer, he doesn’t want to fight me, he’d get absolutely f***** up, but he might do the same to me in the cage and that is why we are both champion in our own right.
      “He knows, if he wants a roll around, he knows where to come, but he ain’t going to want this smoke.”

      Who owns Misfits boxing?
      Misfits boxing was set up by Kalle and Nisse Sauerland, KSI and Mams Taylor.
      Kalle and Nisse Sauerland also run their own promotion company Wasserman Boxing and were born into the industry with their father also being a promoter.
      KSI, a popular YouTuber and singer, was a big part of the idea to create the platform and what it should promote.
      Mams Taylor is a singer/songwriter who also owns the organisation that manages KSI.
      READ MORE ON MISFITS
      Misfits boxing signed a deal with DAZN to broadcast their live events.
      What is Misfits boxing?
      Misfits boxing is a crossover sport that allows people from varying disciplines to battle it out in the ring.
      The invention of the sport was spurred by events such as when Conor McGregor fought Floyd Mayweather in 2017.
      The popularity of both celebrities in their own sports spurred huge interest in the much-anticipated bout.
      Most read in Boxing
      It ended up being one of the most lucrative sports events in history.
      When Misfits was created it was underlined that this platform was not to arrange fights between non-boxers and ex-champions, such as Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather, as it was felt that these exhibition events were so obviously fake.
      Kalle Sauerland told TalkSport “The idea is not to make KSI, or whoever is in this stable, fight against Floyd Mayweather or [former world champion] Carl Froch or all these fights which are so clearly fakes.
      “They’re fakes. I haven’t even watched the [Mayweather vs Logan] fight – not interested.
      “But if a young man or woman is prepared to go through the grit and mill to become a professional boxer – and at the same time that brings eyeballs to our sport because they happen to have a profile – it doesn’t matter to me if he’s a milkman or a YouTuber with 30 million subscribers, that is something that we do.”
      Who are Co-founders of Misfits boxing, Kalle and Nisse Sauerland?
      Kalle Sauerland
      The son of a champion boxer, Wilfried Sauerland, Kalle was born in Germany and then moved to North London.
      Kalle Sauerland is the founder of Sauerland Events and is one of the most successful promoters in world boxing, now splitting his time between Hamburg and London.
      He has tried to create the World Boxing Super Series that is to the sport what the World Cup is to football.
      The $50million event sees sixteen boxers from two weight divisions compete for the Muhammad Ali Trophy and a share of the purse.
      Some of the fighters he has promoted are names such as George Groves, Dereck Chisora, Anthony Agogo and David Price.
      Nisse Sauerland
      Nisse Sauerland is the more reserved of the two brothers, compared to his more outspoken brother.
      He has quite a varied career to date ranging from working at Babestation to his current boxing promotion.
      To date, he has been promoted in excess of sixty events in the sport.

      Talks were progressing for the pair to meet in an end-of-year blockbuster, with Wembley among the options to host.
      But those plans took a hit when Paul, 26, was beaten by Tommy Fury, 23, in February by split-decision.
      They now look set to rematch in the summer despite KSI’s plea for the American to focus on their grudge match instead.
      KSI, 29, now returns on May 13 against millionaire businessman-turned-9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      And he tweeted: “When I KO Joe Fournier, I will be the pound-for-pound best YouTube boxer. Yes above Jake Paul.”
      It sparked a row between the pair, as Paul responded: “Hahaha. I’m your idol.
      “So when you beat a guy whose last pro fight was over two years ago against a reggaeton singer that had never boxed in his life, you are the pound-for-pound best?!
      “Or is because his fight before that was 6 years ago against a 1-11 “boxer”? Sham.”

      Fournier beat musician Reykon, 36, on Paul’s undercard in April 2021 and last fought before that over six years ago against 1-12 Antonio Sanchez.
      But KSI clapped back: “This is a lot of talk for someone that’s ducking me.”
      Paul then proposed a winner-take-all purse if he is to accept KSI’s demand of a 180lb catchweight bout with a rehydration clause.
      He said: “$30M to the winner, 0 to the loser if you want me to agree to your request of 180 pounds and rehydration clause. Agree to that and I’m in.”
      Paul then added that if the stipulation is not met, he will change the fight weight by 5lb with NO limit to what he can weigh the next day.
      He added: “You want me to come to London and fight at an unnatural weight with a rehydration clause then it’s all or nothing.
      “Or be man take the fight without rehydration clauses. 185. 50/50.”
      Paul challenged Fury to a similar double-or-nothing wager but the Love Islander never signed the official document.
      KSI replied: “Ain’t no way I’m doing this deal cos you still ain’t paid up for your last deal with Tommy Fury after he slapped you up.”
      $30M to the winner, 0 to the loser if you want me to agree to your request of 180 pounds and rehydration clause. Agree to that and I’m in.Jake Paul to KSI
      To which Paul said: “There we go. You, your squirrel and your ‘partners’ don’t have the courage to put it all on the line in a contract and sign. Just like Tommy and his dad didn’t.”
      The bad blood dates back to KSI’s 2019 win over Paul’s brother Logan, 27, following a draw between them the year prior.
      KSI has since had three wins, taking his record to 5-1 in the ring although only his victory over Logan was professionally sanctioned.
      But he told Paul: “I’m the A side so you do what I want. I’m undefeated, you’re not.
      “If I want you to come to London, you come to London. 180 is perfect for you and me. Stop crying and sign.”
      But Paul fired back: “You ain’t s***. You have 1 pro fight, a split decision against my brother.
      “That’s the only ‘fight’ you have ever done that the masses cared about.
      “I agreed to come to London so there is one less excuse for you to not take the fight. All yap and all cap is what you are.”
      KSI finished the argument by laying down the gauntlet one final time in a bid to get the fight on.

      He said: “Unfortunately for you, I’ll never taste defeat in the ring. I’ll never know how you felt after LOSING. Anyway…

      “I can’t wait to show the world what Jake Paul couldn’t, knock out a pro boxer,” KSI said.
      “Each fight, people are seeing a better KSI and I’m honestly scared for Fournier because once I land my right or left hand on his chin, it’s night night.
      “As soon as people enter the ring with me, they realise they are in hell. And they either leave the ring bruised, battered or sleeping. In the ring, I am an evil man.”
      Fournier added: “This is huge, it’s as big as it gets, it’s on DAZN pay-per-view at Wembley, against one of the biggest global superstars, not just in boxing.
      “But I am going to break a lot of little hearts when they see KSI unconscious on the canvas.
      “This is way too soon to fight me, but the deal is done, and just like Jake Paul, he will find out that when he gets into the ring with a real boxer, it’s a whole different ball game. He is in for a rude awakening.” More
