      It gives McBroom the chance to avenge his defeat in September when the two rematch at Wembley Arena on April 22.
      The American sparked controversy when he made a video to say he tested positive for coronavirus after being hospitalised following defeat.
      McBroom also revealed he fought just moments after using an IV – which is banned by any boxing commission – to combat his illness.
      Gib – who was floored in the first round – would go onto win by knockout in the fourth after scoring FIVE knockdowns.

      The rivals traded words when they faced off once again in the tournament draw.
      Gib, 26, said: “This makes sense, he made his complaints, it’s time to prove yourself but it’s going the exact same route.
      “I’ve got better IQ, you’re getting smoked, and it’s repeat. You haven’t got no easy fight coming in, you’re facing me and you’re getting smoked.”
      McBroom, 30, said: “All I’ve got to say is, you won’t get lucky again because I won’t be sick. I wish you the best of luck.”

      Gib hit back: “I hurt you with every shot. Right hook, straight, body shots, I hurt you with every, bro.
      “You were suffering, you were suffering. Everybody was screaming for you, ‘What’s happening to him.’ You was suffering.”

      by

      Now, according to Happy Punch Promotion, the stakes have been raised by trying to involve boxing royalty.
      They claim a tag-team match with Mayweather and KSI against Filipinos Pacquiao and Salt Papi is officially being discussed.
      Salt Papi – a 3-0 influencer boxing star who shot to fame on TikTok – is promoted and managed by Happy Punch.
      Mayweather, 46, beat Pacquiao, 44, in 2015 in the most lucrative fight of all time, grossing over £500million with 4.4m pay-per-views sold in America.

      But even with the pair of legend still fighting in exhibition bouts, a rematch has always been evaded.
      Mayweather has boxed in six exhibitions since officially retiring in 2017 with a perfect 50-0 record following victory over UFC superstar Conor McGregor.
      And he has faced two YouTube stars in Logan Paul and KSI’s brother Deji.
      Mayweather most recently faced Geordie Shore’s Aaron Chalmers in February and has confirmed FIVE upcoming exhibitions.

      Meanwhile, Pacquiao is eyeing a return to professional boxing and is in talks to face Conor Benn.
      KSI, 29, is set to fight again on May 13 in London against millionaire businessman-turned 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier.
      And Salt Papi, 29, wants to fight the British social media, rap and celebrity boxing star himself.

      by

      It will start with a return on May 13 in London, before summer and end of year bouts against the likes of Paul or Fury.
      KSI tweeted: “Fight May 13th – Misfits 007.
      “Fight winner of Kingpyn Tournament – August 26th – Misfits 010 Fight Tommy fury/Jake Paul December 16th – Misfits 013.
      “Retire and go back to music. Sounds like a good plan to me.”

      KSI, 29, beat Paul’s brother Logan, 27, when they turned professional for their rematch in 2019, a year after drawing in an exhibition.
      And after three years out to focus on a fledging rap career, he returned last August winning TWO fights in one night.
      KSI then knocked out online rival Faze Temperrr, 29, in January and is now in talks to face millionaire-businessman turned 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40.
      The Londoner will then turn his attention to KingPyn’s eight-man winner-take-all boxing tournament, wanting to face the winner.

      And then to top it off, KSI has voiced plans to challenge the winner of Paul, 26, and Fury, 23, set to rematch in the summer.
      Paul was initially beaten by split-decision in February but has confirmed he wants to exercise his rematch clause.
      The American was in line to settle his score with KSI this year but his first ever loss looks to have KO’d those plans.
      And KSI added further doubt when he tweeted: “At this point, after I beat a pro boxer on May 13th, I’m gonna go straight for Tommy Fury.
      “Jake Paul is being long with negotiations.”

      The pair are now lined up for a rematch in the summer while Paul, 26, is also linked with a fight against Floyd Mayweather, 46.
      KSI, 29, vented his frustrations online and threatened to walk away from the bitter grudge match altogether.
      He tweeted: “At this point, after I beat a pro boxer on May 13th, I’m gonna go straight for Tommy Fury.

      “Talk is cheap, because with all that talk and whatever he said, he’s still afraid to sign the contract.”

      Williams tweeted: “Just listened to a talk on who’s popular with the youth today & @LoganPaul came up.
      “I observed how he carried himself at the UFC event in Perth & wasn’t impressed.
      “A man that stands for nothing will fall for anything – that’s the category I put guys like this in.”
      Paul was in Australia following the sponsorship deal with his hydration drink Prime and the UFC.

      Williams, 9-1 as a boxer, was then challenged to call out Paul but the rugby World Cup winner responded: “No, I don’t want to fight him.
      “I just don’t want my sons to be like him or all the other tools or so-called influencers that have no moral compass.

      At that point, he was linked with a bout against Paul’s brother Jake, 26, who also recently lost against Tommy Fury, 23.
      Paul himself has not fought since taking boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, 46, the distance in their June 2021 exhibition.
      Before that, he drew to KSI, 29, in a similar non-sanctioned bout in 2018 but lost the rematch when they turned professional a year on.
      The former rivals are now business partners following the successful launch of Prime.
      Paul was meant to make his boxing return in January on KSI’s Misfits promotion but a knee injury while starring in the WWE ruled him out.
      However, the American has confirmed he will fight again this year.

      Jake Paul ready to ‘snub Tommy Fury rematch to face Floyd Mayweather as part of three-fight plan including KSI’

      by

      JAKE PAUL is said to be leaning towards a fight with Floyd Mayweather next instead of rematching Tommy Fury. The YouTuber-turned boxer was beaten for the first time in seven professional bouts when he lost a split-decision to Fury.

      Paul has maintained he would exercise his rematch clause with early indications it would be eyed for July.
      But just weeks after his loss, the American was involved in a street altercation with Mayweather outside a Miami Heat game.
      Paul later called out the boxing legend to settle the score in the ring in a sanctioned bout and not an exhibition.
      Now YouTube reporter Keemstar has claimed sources say Mayweather is the top of his wishlist to fight next.

      A rematch with Fury and grudge match against KSI then follow in that order as a part of a three-bout plan.
      Paul’s feud with Mayweather dates back to the summer of 2021 when he stole the 50-0 icon’s hat at a press conference, sparking a mass brawl.
      A month later, brother Logan, 27, would go the eight-round distance in his exhibition with Mayweather.
      The five-weight world champion officially retired in 2017 after beating UFC superstar Conor McGregor, 34.
      Most read in Boxing
      But he has continued to box in exhibition bouts ever since, recently completing his sixth one.
      But Paul, 26, has no interest in facing Mayweather, 46, unless it is in a professional capacity with their records on the line.
      He tweeted: “Floyd will not see me 1 on 1 in a real fight. That’s a fact. His team has hit my team numerous times to do one of his “exhibitions”.
      “Now he ambushes me. Come see me in the ring, real fight, no exhibition robbing fans bulls***.”
      Keemstar’s report comes after Paul cryptically tweeted: “Options.”
      Fury, 23, is open to a rematch with his celebrity boxing rival, having edged out on points in Saudi Arabia.
      Meanwhile, Paul was in line to finally face KSI at the end of the year but those plans took a hit following his defeat.
      KSI, 29, is set to return himself on May 13 with in London against millionaire businessman-turned 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40.

      ‘Everyone sees through it’ – Jake Paul hits out after John Fury deletes videos demanding winner-take-all bet be honoured

      by

      JAKE PAUL has hit out after John Fury deleted videos demanding a winner-take-all bet be honoured. The drama started just days before John’s son Tommy was due to fight Paul in Saudi Arabia.
      Jake Paul hit out after John Fury deleted videos demanding a winner-take-all bet be honoured
      John Fury addressed the wager in a now-deleted video
      A double-or-nothing bet was proposed and a contract was even drafted up to make the wager official.
      But Paul, 26, later said Tommy, 23, refused to put pen to paper on the bet for the fight the American later lost via split-decision.
      Tommy and his dad John both spoke out to ask the YouTuber-turned boxer to honour the deal, believing they had a handshake agreement.
      But John was forced to delete social media videos after Paul and his manager pointed out that they refused to officially sign on the bet.

      Speaking on his brother Logan’s podcast, Paul said: “Everyone sees through it and is calling them out on it, so much so that John Fury deleted the tweets.”
      Footage on the night also showed John being confronted over the bet – with Tommy’s dad refusing to acknowledge it.
      Logan said: “John Fury was watching you [Jake] getting your hands wrapped and Brandon [cameraman] was f***ing antagonising him and he goes ‘Hey, about that contract, about the purse, why didn’t you guys sign it? Why didn’t you guys return it?
      “And John Fury just cowers into a little ball and goes, ‘Let’s talk about boxing, mate. We’ll focus on boxing now.’

      “And I’m just in the background like stunned because I’ve just seen this dude, in real time, show his hand. They weren’t willing to actually sign the contract.
      “And then, after the fight when they won, now they’re talking about being gypsies, how they can’t read and write, and expect you to pay up on something that they 1000 per cent wouldn’t have if you had won the fight.”
      John claimed that a handshake between his son, himself and Paul was enough to have the bet honoured after the fight.
      He said: “Jake Paul, moment of truth, again I say it.
      “You lost the fight, we had a deal in front of millions of people worldwide, I expect you to honour that deal. You owe us some money.
      “Don’t come back to us with contracts and all that bullc***. I’m a gypsy, I can’t read and write properly and I don’t understand that.
      “We were over to do a job, we did it and I’m sure you’ll be a great guy and honour what you’ve done.”

      But when he faced a recognised boxer for the first time in Tommy Fury, he was beaten.
      Fury edged out a split-decision in Saudi Arabia and esteemed British coach Shane McGuigan claimed Paul’s shortcomings were laid bare.
      McGuigan told Boxing King Media: “Of course he was the rightful winner.
      “I said it – fundamentals is what wins the fight and I think that’s what the outcome was.

      “Whether it was me coaching him doing it or his dad or anyone. It’s just move your feet, offset him.
      “Jake Paul leaves his leg behind him, he throws big wide punches, he relies on his power and it was tactically a very easy fight to get right.
      “He got clipped once or twice and he held up well, and that was always gonna be the issue is how well does he take a shot.
      “He seemed to take them quite well.”

      Paul had beaten ex-MMA champions in Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47.
      But he was bettered over eight rounds against unbeaten Fury, 23, when they finally put bragging rights and reputations on the line.
      McGuigan admitted Paul, 26, deserves respect for going the distance despite his brash callouts in the past.
      He said: “Yeah but it’s not what he’s about is it? He’s been calling out people like Canelo and stuff.
      “He’s been disrespectful to the sport, so whatever credit you could give him it’s kiboshed with the way he goes about himself.”
