      KSI’s boxing coach says Jake Paul fight is worth £100MILLION and predicts YouTuber will KO bitter rival AND Tommy Fury

      by

      KSI’s boxing coach said a fight with Jake Paul is worth £100MILLION and predicted he will knock out his bitter rival AND Tommy Fury. The YouTube, music and crossover boxing star was in line to settle his bitter score with Paul at the end of the year.

      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.”

      And behind-the-scenes footage from Top Rank caught the moment Tyson, 34, went over to Paul, 26, to congratulate him on the fight.
      He said: “Well done Jake. Good fight, brother. Very, very impressed. Well done.”
      A nervy wait then followed before Tommy was declared the winner via split-decision.
      It ended two years of feuding between the boxing rivals and the two also came together to pay their respect.

      Tommy, 23, told Paul: “You’re a tough man, you’ll go a long way. You started three years ago, I started when I was six.
      “I’ve got nothing but love and respect for you. Great build-up, great fight.”
      The fight is believed to have been a box office blockbuster, bringing in a reported 775,000 pay-per-view buys.
      And Paul looks set to exercise his right to a rematch, with a second fight rumoured to be eyed for the summer.

      The YouTuber-turned boxer suffered defeat for the first time in seven professional bouts but vowed to return with revenge on his mind.
      Paul said: “Ladies and gentlemen, don’t worry, I’ll be back. I’m going to come back, work harder, get the rematch and get the W.
      “I love you guys, thank you for the support through the highs and lows. Peace.”

      Jake Paul says Tommy Fury ‘didn’t win the fight’ as YouTuber reveals reasons he lost and vows to bounce back in rematch

      by

      JAKE PAUL claimed Tommy Fury “didn’t win” their fight – and listed a number of reasons why he felt he had “lost it”.Fury returned home from Saudi Arabia with bragging rights and his unbeaten record intact after edging the celebrity grudge match on points.

      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

      by

      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.
      Promoting reality TV star Tommy Fury to the top 40 for beating YouTuber Jake Paul is a bizarre decision from the WBCCredit: AFP
      Even Conor Benn was stunned when the WBC announced the banned women’s fertility drug found in his system came from eating too many eggsCredit: Getty
      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

      by

      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.

      But he has returned for six exhibitions since, against stars of the MMA, YouTube and reality TV world.
      And Mayweather is not done yet, as he revealed he will fight in South Korea, Germany, Japan, Australia and Miami back Stateside.
      He posted: “This is what my 2023 looks like so far…5 exhibitions in 5 countries in 9 months and if any of these exhibitions don’t happen, I still get paid.
      “I’m the most active hustler in boxing, my money is guaranteed.”

      Mayweather, 46, most recently faced Geordie Shore star-turned fighter Aaron Chalmers, 35, in his UK boxing debut over eight rounds.
      He rolled back the clock to shine but did so in front of an empty O2 Arena.
      Mayweather has knocked out Japanese martial arts pair Tenshin Nasukawa, 24, and Mikuru Asakura, 30, in recent years.
      Chalmers, ex-sparring partner Don Moore and YouTuber Logan Paul, 27, all survived the eight-round distance.

      But social media sensation Deji, 26, brother to KSI, 29, was stopped inside six rounds in Dubai last November.
      Logan’s brother Jake, 26, was there that night but claimed Mayweather demanded him leave the venue before he fought.
      It stems back to a row the pair had in 2021 when the self-proclaimed “Problem Child” stole his hat, sparking a melee.
      And the bad blood still continues after Paul claimed Mayweather tried to jump him with an entourage of 50 following a Miami Heat game.
      Paul offered to settle it in the ring after being filmed running away from his rival.
      He said: “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.”

      But Paul hit back on his brother Logan’s podcast and urged his bitter YouTube rival to let his fists do the talking.
      He said: “Talk is cheap, because with all that talk and whatever he said, he’s still afraid to sign the contract.
      “He can talk all that s***, but let’s get in the ring, 100 per cent. Talk that s***, let’s sell some f***ing pay-per-views brother.
      “All things considered, I talk a lot of s***, but I back to back to back I schedule these fights and go in the ring and do them, whoever it is, anywhere, anytime, any place.

      “I’ve backed it up and proven that and shown it. He’s hot on Twitter, he’s got the Twitter fingers, but when it comes to actually fighting me, you have been gone, absent, haven’t actually shown up or signed the contract.
      “So, talk is cheap and let’s just hope he gets into the ring and we can settle all of the s*** talk there, after I go back and avenge this loss with Tommy Fury.
      “I’m KSI’s end goal, but for me there’s bigger fights out there, it’s just a pit stop.”
      Paul, 26, was linked with an end of year grudge match to finally settle his score with KSI, 29, between the ropes.

      But the plan looks to have been shelved with the YouTuber-turned boxer set to rematch Fury, 23, in the summer.
      KSI heaped surprise praise on Fury, who was emotionally left in tears after his split-decision victory over Paul in Saudi Arabia.
      He said: “Fair play to Tommy. He’d been tormented for two years straight.
      “Being called ‘Tommy Fumbles’, everyone saying he was trash, saying he’s not a real boxer, saying he’s not going to be able to beat Jake Paul, saying he’s going to buckle under the pressure.
      “But you know what, he came into that ring and slapped up Jake Paul.”

      The pair are now eyeing a rematch in July, meanwhile Mayweather recently boxed in his sixth exhibition since officially retiring in 2017.
