      The Haymaker said: “I’ve seen him behind the scenes, I know what he’s about. I’ve seen him spar and I’ve seen him hit the mitts and hit the bag.
      “That was a year and a half ago. I’m sure he’s improved significantly since then. That version of KSI, in my opinion, wouldn’t last the distance with Fournier.
      “Even though Joe Fournier is 40, even though he’s been living in Tulum and Dubai all over the world and in nightclubs, he lives quite a clean life.

      “So there are no real miles on the clock for Joe. But I’ve seen him spar world champions – professional world champions – and hold his own.

      “And I think that wealth of experience over the last ten years will be enough once that first bell rings.
      “Once the energy of the first couple of rounds where KSI will be really hyped up [by a] a big crowd going crazy and all eyeballs on him, knowing that Jake Paul was in a very similar situation with Tommy Fury in a fight which he lost.
      “Very few people on Jake Paul’s team believed that was a version of reality that could take place – but it did.
      “I thought after that happened that KSI’s team may think, ‘Oh, in actual fact, maybe we’ve bitten off more than we can chew.’
      “But they didn’t. They doubled down on it, they really wanted it.”

      Jake Paul says Tommy Fury loss made boxing career even more authentic and will fight for ‘a lot longer’ because of it

      by

      JAKE PAUL said losing to Tommy Fury has made his boxing career even more authentic and could even prolong it. The YouTuber-turned prizefighter suffered defeat for the first time in February, falling victim to a split-decision in Saudi Arabia.

      But Paul, 26, has been reinvigorated by the setback and revealed it has only extended his ambitions in the sport.
      He said: “A lot of people in my position would’ve just gotten worse mentally or crumbled or gave up or went back and take an easy fight or a tune-up fight.
      “This made me a boxer even more and to come back to prove myself and to learn and get better. I love this sport, I love everything about it.
      “This reaffirmed my belief and almost made me sign this like contract that maybe wasn’t even signed yet with boxing, forever.

      “Because when I was winning and winning and winning, I was like, ‘Oh, I might just win a couple more fights and then retire.’
      “But now I realise that I need this sport and I’m going to be here for a lot longer of a time period than I originally thought.”
      Paul snubbed a rematch with Fury, 24, and will instead return on August 5 in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38.
      He dives right back into a box office blockbuster, to be aired on DAZN pay-per-view.

      And he will do so not only with a new mentality but also a fresh team.
      Paul has rehired Shane Mosley as his coach after starting his career by winning his professional debut with the boxing legend.
      Losing to Fury forced the American to re-evaluate who is truly in his corner when dealing and reflecting on the defeat.
      Paul said: “It was intense, man. Lot’s of deep thoughts, lot’s of changes being made within the camp.
      “Switching things up and having to revisit the drawing board and taking a look at everything; myself, my coaches, my friends, what went wrong.
      “And that was definitely a lengthy process, it wasn’t necessarily the easiest to figure out and a lot of those answers weren’t fun.
      “So there had to be a lot of these changes but it was a great reality check.
      “It’s like I’m going around knocking pretty much everyone out or down to the canvas at least and making a bunch of money doing it.
      “And you get kind of caught up in that and you can lose that hunger. And I didn’t even know I did.

      “I thought I still had that same hunger and motivation but it turns out in hindsight, I didn’t.
      “Obviously, I’m new in this game and so there’s so much to learn and the weeks after were really some of the toughest moments of my life but the best now I’m able to look back at it in hindsight.”

      The YouTuber-turned-boxer plans to get back in the win column with an emphatic KO of the 38-year-old, which he hopes will entice UFC superstar McGregor to share the ring with him.
      The Problem Child roared: “I want Conor next after that. It’s inevitable.”
      McGregor, 34, has remained quiet on Paul’s frequent call-outs in recent years but didn’t shy away from tipping old rival Diaz to get the better of the former Disney star.
      Paul said of McGregor’s pre-fight prediction: “I think he’s got trauma from when Nate slapped his head off.”

      Diaz’s multi-million-pound showdown with Paul will take place just under a year after his final UFC outing.
      Paul said of the fight: “This fight made the most sense and the opportunity was there, he was a free agent.
      “[Nate is] someone I’ve always wanted to fight and someone that’s always been on my list.”
      Paul, 26, isn’t taking Diaz lightly by any means, although he firmly believes adding the MMA legend to his highlight reel will pave the way for a clash with The Notorious.

      He told ESPN: “I see a roadmap where I knock out Nate and go to Conor McGregor.
      “Do what Conor couldn’t do, knock out Nate, then that would be the biggest fight in combat sports that could possibly be made, me vs Conor.”
      During the presser, he said: “This is a big fight, this is a fight that I wanted for a long time.
      “He got out of his UFC contract and this is probably the biggest fight of the year only topping me versus Tommy [Fury].

      “So I want to make big events, big fights happen and strike while the iron’s hot.
      “He was a free agent, let’s run it, make it happen, settle the s*** talk and I’m ready for war.
      “I’m excited to be here, thank you for having me out.
      “Dallas, I love y’all and I’ma do what Conor McGregor couldn’t do and I’ma knock this man out.” More

      Jake Paul slammed by Dana White for facing ’40-year-old MMA fighter’ Nate Diaz as UFC boss mocks Tommy Fury loss

      by

      DANA WHITE mocked Jake Paul for his upcoming fight with Nate Diaz and loss to Tommy Fury. The YouTuber-turned boxer returns to the ring on August 5 in Texas against Diaz, who last year walked out on the UFC when his contract expired.

      It comes after Paul suffered defeat for the first time in February, losing a split-decision to Fury in Saudi Arabia.
      So UFC president White was quick to aim a dig when asked about the upcoming bout with his ex-fighter Diaz.
      He said on The Jim Rome Show: “I’ve been trying not to [criticise it]. I like Nate. Nate and I have a good relationship.
      “Listen, Jake Paul went out and fought a real boxer who was his age, his weight, and he lost.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “So as soon as he loses, he goes back to a 40-year-old MMA fighter who’s smaller than him [and] not his weight.
      “Listen, it’s just one of those fights. I know that some people are into this. It’s just not what I’m into. It’s not my thing.”
      Diaz, who is in fact 38, is the fourth opponent of Paul’s with an MMA background and will make his professional boxing debut.
      It comes after Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 41, and Anderson Silva, 48, were all also beaten by the internet personality.

      But when Paul, 26, faced a recognised boxer for the first time in Fury, 24, he suffered defeat.
      A rematch was expected to follow until Diaz surprisingly signed to face Paul instead.
      But the American – speaking at the Miami Grand Prix – insisted that the celebrity boxing rivals WILL fight again soon.
      Paul told Sky Sports: “It’s going to happen, it’s going to happen for sure.
      “I think it was a great fight, it was entertaining, it was the biggest pay-per-view buys in boxing for the last two years so I think we have to run it back.
      “Tommy is down and I’m excited for that.”

      But those plans look to have faced the KO after Paul was beaten by Fury in February by split-decision in Saudi Arabia.
      KSI has since revealed he now wants to instead face Fury and finish what Paul started.
      He tweeted: “I’d much rather fight and beat Tommy Fury so I can ruin Jake Paul’s legacy.”
      But a shocked Fury, 24, responded: “Wait. Beat who?”

      To which KSI, 29, bluntly fired back: “Beat you. Can you not read?”
      And Fury replied: “Just as delusional as Jake. I’m looking forward to this one.”
      Paul, 26, snubbed a Fury 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 beating Fury.

      He told SunSport: “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 returns on Saturday 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 and his dad John.
      Although Paul spoke out at the Miami Grand Prix to claim he WILL rematch Fury down the line.
      He told Sky Sports: “It’s going to happen, it’s going to happen for sure.
      “I think it was a great fight, it was entertaining, it was the biggest pay-per-view buys in boxing for the last two years so I think we have to run it back.

      But in recent years he has become more well known as an internet personality, who has been accused of voicing misogynic views.
      YouTube star and crossover boxer KSI has been critical of Tate in the past, leading to a feud between the two.
      And after sparring footage was shared of the American-born Brit, KSI was quick to fire a dig.
      He tweeted: “From watching this, I would absolutely DESTROY Andrew Tate. Watch me on May 13th for those that don’t believe me.”

      In the clip, Tate takes some shots to the face and stomach before dropping his sparring partner with a body shot.
      And in response to KSI’s criticsm, he responded: “I was literally teaching him and telling him what to do. I wasn’t even punching back.”
      KSI, 29, returns to the ring on Saturday against millionaire nightclub tycoon and 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40, at Wembley Arena.
      Meanwhile Tate, 36, is currently serving house arrest with his younger brother Tristan, 34, pending a criminal investigation.

      They were in December arrested in Bucharest with two Romanian women on suspicion of human trafficking, organised crime and rape.
      They have all denied the allegations.
      The Tate brothers spent three months in prison before being released and placed under house arrest at the end of March.
      This followed the winning of an appeal against a judge who decided to extend his time in jail for another month.
      Their house arrest has been extended for another 30 days by a Romanian court as charges have still not been brought against them.
      The latest extension to their house arrest means the Tate brothers cannot leave their homes before May 29.

      Tom Garratt was live on YouTube channel Pitchside for a watchalong show with Theo Baker, ChrisMD and WillNE for Sunday’s clash between Newcastle and Arsenal.
      However, the quartet had to shut their weekly stream down early following the horror accident.
      Before kick-off at St James’ Park, Garratt had an arm wrestle with fellow YouTube star Baker.
      But within seconds of the tussle, Garratt’s arm made an audible cracking pop sound that was picked up by the microphone as his arm gave way.

      Garratt, Baker, ChrisMD and WillNE suddenly fell silent in clear shock.

      Garratt was taken to hospital and had an X-ray on his arm which revealed he had broken the humerus bone which runs from the shoulder to the elbow.
      He shared a smiling selfie with Baker in A&E with his arm completely covered in bandages.
      Baker also posted a pic of his pal clearly in pain and added: “Hi guys, Tom’s had his X-ray and has broken his humerus. He says anything for the content!”
      A later video showed Garratt tell the camera the humerus is “absolutely f***ed”.
      Once the match did get underway, Martin Odegaard fired Arsenal in front with a long-range low drilled effort.
      Fabian Schar turned into his own net with 20 minutes to go as the Gunners secured a big three points.
