    ‘Did you just have another wet dream?’ – Jake Paul savagely mocked by KSI after street altercation with Floyd Mayweather

    Footage obtained TMZ shows Paul being goaded with Mayweather also appearing in the shot, flanked by his team.
    Eventually, Paul sprints away and took to social media to explain his side of the story.
    He tweeted: “Floyd if you want to fight 1 on 1 we can do that but don’t try to hop out of 3 cars 25 dudes deep tryna to jump me while I’m tryna enjoy my Wednesday night.”
    But KSI, 29, responded: “Did you just have another wet dream?”

    The roast is in response to Paul, 26, claiming a wet dream the night before his fight with Tommy Fury, 23, contributed to his defeat.
    He said on his brother’s podcast: “I literally woke up in a panic like ‘F***.’ Right after you wake up and jolt out of it.
    “You have two weeks of testosterone build up and the reason a wet dream happens is because your body needs to release that energy and yeah, I f****d myself.
    “That’s why it’s bad is because it makes your legs weak, because the sperm is stored in your legs.”

    Paul was on vacation in Miami following his first loss in the ring when he was confronted by Mayweather.
    His feud with the boxing legend, 46, started two years ago, before his brother Logan’s June 2021 exhibition with Mayweather.
    The self-proclaimed “Problem Child” stole Mayweather’s cap at a press conference, sparking a mass brawl.
    Paul believes the bad blood is still brewing from that day as he gave his side after being captured running away from the row in Florida.
    He said: “So I’m leaving the Miami Heat game and Floyd Mayweather and 50 dudes pull up out of nowhere.
    “Out of some like side alley waiting for me outside of this stadium. And they’re like, ‘So, what’s up? What’s all that talk now?’
    “I’m like, first of all what did I say to you Floyd? I just took your hat and you’re still mad about it? Come on, bro.
    “And then like 50 dudes literally start surrounding me to try and jump me, I’m out that bitch.
    “Floyd, if you want to run it one-on-one, no problem but I’m not dumb. I’m tough, I don’t need to prove my toughness.
    “But I’m not f*****g dumb, I’m not going to sit there and try fight 50 dudes, dipped out of that bitch. Floyd, you’re a hoe, bro.
    “You’re made cause’ I took your f*****g hat, are you serious? Get over it, bro. Move on.”

    Tommy Fury ‘not in boxing for money’ as he talks down future crossover fights despite Jake Paul rematch rumours

    TOMMY FURY claimed he is not in boxing for the money as he talked down future crossover fights – despite rumours of a Jake Paul rematch. Fury – who shot to household fame for his 2019 stint on Love Island – has spent the last two years feuding with YouTuber-turned boxer Paul.

    But he looks to have buried their rivalry in the Saudi Arabia desert after edging out a split-decision win in their grudge match.
    Fury is said to have made around £3-4million for the pay-per-view fight, which included the option to rematch if Paul was beaten.
    The likes of YouTube superstar KSI have also since called out the younger brother of world heavyweight champion Tyson.
    Fury admitted he is taking future celebrity bouts into consideration… but favours the traditional boxing route.

    He said on BT Sport’s Chatterbox: “It’s definitely something that’s crossed my mind but it always leads me back to why I got into boxing after what happened in the fight.
    “I’m not in boxing for money anymore because you know I don’t live the most extravagant lifestyle, I don’t live on yachts I don’t buy all these fancy things and I’m not really interested in that. 
    “I’ve got a car, I’ve got a place to put my head down at night and I’ve got a family and that does me.”
    Paul, 26, has confirmed he will exercise his rematch clause, which is being eyed for the summer.

    That would mean Fury, 23, will have to once again shelve his goals of winning world titles, despite wanting to be remembered as “a proper boxer”.
    He said: “The money now is not really important. I’m in boxing for my name to go down in history.
    “I’ll be in boxing because it’s a passion of mine and I’ll always revert back to being that old man and saying, ‘Did I really give it my best shot?’
    “Because I know if I give it my best shot my name can go down in history. I can achieve winning one world title belt because there’s a lot worse men than me who have done it and I’ve got the drive and determination to get me there.
    “I’m still eager to learn, win titles and go down as a proper boxer. I don’t want to be known as one of these guys who made a lot of money fighting idiots and then retired and left the sport. 
    “I want to be remembered as Tommy Fury, ‘He made great money fighting YouTube stars and then stuck to boxing and retired with a world title’. That’ll be happiness for me and I will achieve it.”

    He has beaten ex-MMA champions in Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva in the boxing ring.
    Paul, 26, fell to his first defeat in February, losing to unbeaten boxer Tommy Fury by split-decision in Saudi Arabia.
    Now ex-UFC title challenger Masvidal, 37, has promised to hand the YouTuber more than a points loss if they were to ever fight.

    “I’m not gonna get tired throwing heat and I’m there to take your head off.
    “You’re gonna have to do some really evasive things in that ring to get away from me. Jake hasn’t hit that stride yet.”
    Paul has talked up fighting Masvidal or ex-UFC welterweight Nate Diaz, 37, but instead looks set to rematch Fury in the summer.
    Meanwhile, Masvidal returns to the octagon at UFC 287 on April 8 against Brazilian Gilbert Burns.

    But those plans have taken a hit after Fury handed the American his first loss via split-decision in their grudge match in Saudi Arabia.
    KSI labelled both celebrity boxers “TRASH” and claimed he could KO the pair – and his trainer Alexis Demetriades is in agreement.
    Demetriades told Sky Sports: “Both Tommy and Jake were very tired, and the volume and the power punch volume wasn’t that high.
    “KSI’s got a lot of power in both of his hands and has improved massively with it. He’s not one-dimensional or a one-handed fighter as some of these guys are.

    “I have no doubt in my mind that KSI would put Jake Paul and Tommy Fury to sleep.”
    KSI’s manager Mams Taylor called for Paul to shelve a rematch with Fury to instead focus the YouTube mega-fight.
    But the self-proclaimed “Problem Child” has no interest and wants to gain revenge with a rematch eyed for the summer.
    Demetriades insisted the ball is in Paul’s court, as he said: “If it doesn’t happen at the end of the year, it’s going to be because of the Jake Paul team.

    “It won’t be because of us. We’ve signed off arenas, so we want that fight.”
    The feud dates back to KSI’s 2019 win over Paul’s brother Logan, 27, which followed on from their draw a year prior.
    It has kept the rivalry brewing to the point Demetriades believes the fight brings in millions of pounds.
    He said: “KSI versus Jake Paul has to happen. If you’re realistic about it, it’s a £100million fight. It’s enormous.”

    But Paul has come out swinging in defence of his first ever loss, insisted the result was solely down to his own shortcomings in the ring.
    He said on his brother Logan’s podcast: “Tommy didn’t win the fight, I lost it.
    “I was not good, I was not on my A-game. I didn’t implement the gameplan, my legs were weak going into the fight.
    “I think I cut the weight improperly, in a seven-week camp where normally we do a 12-week camp.

    “We squeezed in this camp, but I don’t want to sit here and make excuses. I lost the fight, I wasn’t at my best and it’s that simple.”
    Paul, 26, saw a point deducted in round five due to punches in the back of the head.
    Fury, 23, was also docked a point in the sixth for holding and was floored in the final round but still won a split decision.
    Paul stepped up to face a recognised professional boxer for the first time in his seven-bout career and admitted he felt the occasion.

    He said: “I think a little bit of pressure is good but I had a lot of pressure and the stakes kept getting higher and higher each fight.
    “Now there is definitely more relaxation going into the next one. A lot of things played into the [loss], even getting a point deducted in the beginning of the fight.
    “I don’t know, it’s the hardest sport in the world and you have to have a peak moment.
    “You’re only able to show up in that one moment on that one night. Whatever you’re feeling then you can’t really fake it.
    “I was flat, very very flat. I beat him like eight to nine times out of ten, this just happened one of those times. He stepped up to the plate.”
    Paul is set to exercise his rematch clause amid rumours of a sequel after the first fight sold around 775,000 pay-per-views.
    He said: “I don’t see where there is not a reason to run it back at some point.
    “The business side of it was massive, it was one of the biggest events in boxing in recent years. It’ll probably be the biggest fight of this year, it’s massive.”

    WBC has lost all credibility by elevating Tommy Fury to top 40 – his win over Jake Paul was as real as WWE

    NINE-FIGHT novice Tommy Fury’s absurd WBC elevation to a top-40 cruiserweight unsurprisingly got the derision it deserves.It’s Fury’s outrageous reward for a points victory against over-hyped YouTube star Jake Paul — who is barely a half-decent amateur — in Riyadh a couple of weeks ago.

    I suggested anyone who took the meeting between these two celebrity learner fighters seriously must believe WrestleMania is for real.
    Obviously the WBC has. It’s a wonder it didn’t make Love Island’s Tommy mandatory challenger to world champion Ilunga Makabu.
    It not only lost what little credibility it had left but also enraged many leading boxing personalities.
    John H Stracey, one of Britain’s most respected ex-world champions, was a national hero when he went to Mexico City and beat the legendary Jose Napoles in six rounds to win the WBC welterweight title in 1975.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    When he retired three years later Stracey was invited to be a WBC ambassador — a role he has held conscientiously and with pride.
    But that hasn’t inhibited him from fearlessly attacking the organisation he represents over the Fury fiasco.
    Fuming John told me: “I have been in touch with several ex-fighters and they all agree it’s shameful the way the WBC has made a complete mockery of its rankings system.
    “I certainly won’t be pulling any punches when I let the WBC president know how angry I am      when    I next speak to him.

    “What has happened is laughable. But I don’t suppose young fighters sweating their guts out, winning meaningful fights having been overlooked in favour of Fury will find it funny.”
    The WBC certainly didn’t cover itself in glory last month over Conor Benn’s failed drug test.
    It ruled the banned women’s fertility drug clomiphene found in his system was the result of his eating too many eggs.
    Being facetious, it’s a pity the WBC didn’t reveal if Conor liked his eggs fried, boiled, poached or scrambled.
    Thomas Jefferson, America’s third President, said: “Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions.”
    Even Conor was embarrassed by the WBC’s reasoning.
    He said: “At no point did I indicate that I failed any tests because of contaminated eggs.”
    When it comes to brass neck ingenuity the Oscar goes to Dennis Mitchell.
    Tyson Fury blamed eating uncastrated wild boar for nandrolone being found in his dope test while Canelo Alvarez put clenbuterol being found in his urine down to eating contaminated beef.
    Among other bizarre excuses was Sheffield’s former IBF world featherweight champion Kid Galahad blaming his brother for spiking his drink after he refused to give him money.
    Jarrell Miller pulled out of a clash with Anthony Joshua a few years ago blaming  a stem-cell shot in his elbow as the cause of his drug downfall.
    But when it comes to brass neck ingenuity the Oscar goes to Dennis Mitchell, 1992 Olympic gold-winning American sprinter, who was found to have extraordinarily high levels of  testosterone in his bloodstream.

    Mitchell said: “I had sex four times with my wife yesterday. It was her birthday — the lady deserved a treat.”
    It didn’t wash with the unromantic athletic authorities — Dennis was banned for two years. More

    Jake Paul calls out Floyd Mayweather, 46, to a ‘real fight’ after turning down ‘numerous’ exhibition offers

    JAKE PAUL has called out Floyd Mayweather to a “real fight” after turning down “numerous” exhibition offers. Mayweather officially retired in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor but he has returned for six exhibitions since.

    One was against Paul’s brother Logan in June 2021, which went the full eight round distance.
    A month beforehand, the YouTuber-turned boxer clashed with Mayweather at a press conference, stealing his hat and sparking a mass brawl.
    It has kept the feud brewing so much so that Paul was confronted by the boxing legend and his entourage after a Miami Heat match.
    Paul was filmed running away from the altercation and later hit out at Mayweather, offering to settle it in the ring with their records on the line.

    He said: “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***.”
    Paul, 26, was last month beaten for the first time in seven professional bouts, losing to Tommy Fury, 23.
    The pair are now targeting a rematch in the summer following Fury’s split-decision victory in Saudi Arabia.

    One night before, Mayweather, 46, rolled back the clock against Geordie Shore’s Aaron Chalmers, 35, in his UK boxing debut, with the fight going the full eight rounds.
    Paul has maintained he will only fight the American icon if it is professionally sanctioned with his 50-0 record at stake.
    But the weight disparity makes the bout almost impossible to overcome with Mayweather never weighing more than 11st.
    Meanwhile, Paul was around 13st for his loss to Fury, meaning there is TWO STONE between them.
    The social media sensation in the past has offered to fight Mayweather at 175lb, with his rival coming in at 165lb to bridge the weight gap.
