      Jake Paul BANNED from attending Leon Edwards world title fight against Kamaru Usman at UFC 286 after Dana White row

      by

      JAKE PAUL is BANNED from attending all UFC events including Leon Edwards’ title fight with Kamaru Usman in London. Edwards defends his welterweight strap against Usman in a trilogy decider tonight at the O2 Arena after his head kick KO in August.

      Conor McGregor, 34, revealed he could be in attendance as he eyes a shot at the 170lb belt.
      But one man who will not be in town is YouTuber-turned boxer Paul, 26, who has long rivalled UFC boss Dana White.
      The American was at UFC 261 in April 2021 and hit the headlines after the arena was filled with chant of “f*** Jake Paul.”
      But according to the man himself, UFC president White was left fuming and banned him from ever attending events again.

      Paul said on his podcast last October: “I’m banned from UFC events.
      “Dana banned me after [the fans] were shouting ‘f** Jake Paul in a stadium,’ and I tried to go to a different fight and all of our tickets were declined, banned.”
      Paul has hit out at White in the past and accused the promoter of underpaying his stars and failing to provide them with healthcare.
      But his older brother Logan, 27, recently signed a deal to see his Prime hydration drink sponsor the UFC.

      Although Logan recently claimed Paul’s feud with White is not personal.
      He said: “Again, you’re just playing a game, and here’s my theory: if Jake is able to identify a target to further his agenda of fighter pay, [that’s] the way to do it.
      “Like, if you can identify a common enemy, unite everyone against that person, [then] you’re furthering your own agenda.”

      Dan Hardy has signed on with PFL Europe
      Paul, 26, is due to head up a “super-fight” series which will also host his debut in the cage.
      Ex-UFC title challenger Hardy – now on board with PFL Europe – joked that he would be the perfect opponent for the American.
      He told talkSPORT: “If he wants an opponent in MMA, I’m ideal.
      “I’m 40, I’ve been out of it for ten years now, my takedown defence sucks, my wrestling is terrible, I’ve got no ground game and I love a punch up.

      “If he’s looking for an opponent in MMA, I mean, I’m probably a safer bet than Tyron Woodley. You would think, right?”
      Paul has beaten ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47, during his career.
      But in his first bout against a professional boxer, he was beaten, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 23.
      The pair are rumoured to be lined up for a rematch, which could backdate Paul’s debut in the PFL cage.

      Hardy said: “I’ve spoken with Jake Paul’s manager a couple of times for various different reasons.
      “So, I am in contact with the camp, but we’ll see what happens.
      “I think he’s planning another boxing match first and I think he’ll be doing a lot more promotional work than competing with the PFL.”

      “Why not even the two fights in Africa?”
      Ngannou added: “I can knock everybody out. I have to be clear about something.
      “To hit that person you have to get a clear shot, which is more about technique and experience I don’t have. So, I’m very aware of that aspect.”

      But Logan did his best to try and goad his brother’s opponent during an interview mid-fight.
      In full voice, he shouted: “Tommy, if you can hear me, you a b****, bro and you’re gassing out.
      “You a b****, the whole Fury family are a b****.”
      Fury, 23, responded in the best way possible by dominating Jake, 26, that round on his way to a points win.

      And Logan, 27, admitted his masterplan proved to only inspire Fury.
      He said on his podcast: “Some people seem to be upset that I cut a promo mid-fight.
      “What I was trying to do was – because I was on the mic – and you can hear it in the arena and I knew Tommy was sitting in his corner.
      “And Jake was losing, so I just tried to talk s*** and get in Tommy’s head. The issue is, it just p***ed him off.

      “Because the round started and he just f***ing unleashed a gnarly combination on Jake. I was like, ‘I just made him mad.'”
      Fury’s dad John was also left fuming with Logan’s comments and accused the YouTube star of looking for attention by any means necessary.
      John told The Express, via Free Bets: “Absolutely disgusting.
      “Him piping up in a fight like that is not professional, but it just shows you that you are dealing with adolescent children, aren’t you?
      “Because the comments during the fight are just ridiculous. That’s not professional.
      “It doesn’t work, it’s bad for the viewers, it’s bad for everybody involved in it, in the game.
      “But it is what it is, they are what they are, they’re YouTubers. They’ll do anything.
      “They’ll give their left nut up for a viewing figure and he obviously thought it would enhance his status as a YouTuber coming out with all that stupidity. But we knew it was coming anyway.” More

      Tommy had vowed to bury his bitter feud with Paul in the Diriyah desert before continuing to build up his boxing record the hard way.
      But after getting a taste of a mega-money payday, John wants his boy to cash in while he can.
      John told The Express, via Free Bets: “I think at this moment in time conventional boxing will have to go on the backburner because boxing is a business, and you have to go where the money is.
      “Whoever is a big name, who brings stuff to the table we’re interested in. Yep, we’re interested in KSI, he can have it next if he wants.

      “We’re interested in the Salt Papi’s of the world, everybody with a name who thinks they can have a go, can have a go. Even with conventional boxing.
      “If they want to pay the same sort of money as these guys are paying, we’ll do the conventional boxing as well, but, after where we’ve been you can’t really box at York Hall, can you?”
      KSI, 29, has had six bouts with no defeats and one draw while Salt Papi, 29, is 3-0 with two knockouts.
      John said: “I think that Salt Papi is quite good. I’ve only seen bits of him, but he brings a lot to the table.

      “So, if he wants it call me. If KSI wants it call me. Whoever wants it, call me. As long as the money is right and it makes business sense we are there.”
      Tommy, 23, is linked with a summer rematch against Paul, 26, but John admitted no official talks have yet taken place.
      He said: “It depends on what they want to do, but at the moment, Tommy’s put a hard training camp in.

      Paul, 27, took Mayweather, 46, the distance and was due to return to boxing in January.
      He was in talks to face 2-0 MMA fighter and online rival Dillon Danis, 29, until a knee injury starring in the WWE ruled him out.
      Well now Paul – while on his podcast with Dave Portnoy – revealed his next fight is set in stone.
      He said: “I’ve got a new opponent. Not said yet. I’ll tell you and we’ll bleep it.”

      Paul then reveals who he will fight, with the sound bleeped, as Portnoy responded: “No s***.”
      And Paul replied: “Cool, right? I don’t know what’s going on either.”
      Danis, a known troll, attempted to hijack the announcement by tweeting: “He ran from me to go fight 1-5 Darren Till.”
      Till, 30, recently hit the headlines after requesting his release from the UFC, having lost his last three fights.

      And the ex-UFC welterweight revealed he has been contacted by rival promoters after his release.

      But Paul has insisted UFC legend Anderson Silva was tougher than Fury, who he admitted was a good combination puncher.
      On his brother Logan’s podcast, he said: “That is what is p***ing me off the most, that it had nothing to do with him it had everything to do with me.
      “He wasn’t that great, at all, I think Anderson was tougher than him, and I figured out that puzzle. He threw a lot of punches, that’s his biggest thing.”
      Paul, 26, defeated Silva, 47, in October in his last fight before the celebrity grudge match.

      But Fury, 23, was the first recognised boxer the YouTuber-turned prizefighter had faced in his seven-bout career.
      Now the pair look set to rematch in the summer as Paul heaped praise on his British rival.
      Paul said: “He’s definitely blossomed. He’s an overnight superstar and it’s great for him.
      “He’s a good kid and we had a bunch of respect for each other; we spoke in the locker room and he said let’s do the rematch.

      “He seems very level-headed and down to earth. We talked a lot of s*** and did a great job promoting it but there was mutual respect there and we hugged. 
      “I have respect for the guy, that’s the most beautiful thing about this sport.
      “You can be arch-enemies and then find respect for each other after beating the s*** out of each other and going to war.”
