      I’ve shared the ring with BOTH Jake Paul and Tommy Fury, I know exactly how the fight will go and it’ll be a DOMINATION

      by

      A BOXER who has shared the ring with BOTH Jake Paul and Tommy Fury claimed the fight will be a one-sided domination. Anthony Taylor, an MMA veteran who has crossed over to boxing, shot to recognition as one of Paul’s sparring partners in 2021.

      The same year, he featured on one of the YouTube star’s undercards against Fury, losing on points. 
      And the rounds banked between the pair of celebrity boxing rivals leaves Taylor in no doubt of who will emerge with bragging rights on the weekend. 
      He told SunSport: “Jake is just going to outbox Tommy. He’s just a far better boxer.
      “Jake is going to control him with his countering. Jake is more flexible and more fluid than Tommy, he’s got a higher ring IQ.

      “Jake is going to dominate Tommy, who knows? I can see a possible knockdown by Jake but I’ve got Jake winning by unanimous decision.” 
      Taylor was employed by Paul for his wins over ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, and Tyron Woodley, 40. 
      He has since beaten UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, last October but Fury, 23, will be his first opponent with a recognised boxing record. 
      The Brit – brother to heavyweight champion Tyson – has won once since beating Taylor over four uneventful rounds on his US debut.

      But his level of progressions afterwards – compared to 6-0 Paul’s – has been slammed. 
      Taylor, 33, said: “Jake is just a harder worker than Tommy. We see him putting in the work and we actually see it inside the ring. 
      “There’s no doubt about it that Jake’s the harder worker here, I’m not trying to say nothing bad about Tommy, he’s also a boxer and training hard but we haven’t seen a growth from Tommy. 
      “We haven’t seen a change nor an improvement, it’s just been the same Tommy Fury.
      “He’s just getting by picking his opponents after me and figuring out who he wants to fight. 
      “That doesn’t do him any justice or good inside the ring. Jake is the bigger fighter, taller, smarter, faster and a lot more powerful than Tommy.”
      Pundits have labelled the pay-per-view fight as a 50/50 on paper – much to the anger of Fury and his father John. 
      But Taylor argued Paul is the one who should be offended and urged anyone who disagrees to put their money where their mouth is. 

      He said: “How can people say it’s a 50/50? Just because he’s got long arms? Tommy has no ring IQ. 
      “All he does is throw wild punches, he doesn’t set nothing up, he just has long limbs, that’s it.
      “If you think Tommy’s going to win, bet your money he’s gonna win. If you’re so confident, put $1,000 down. 
      “Don’t sit here and say, ‘Tommy’s going to win if you’re not going to put your money where your mouth is. 
      “Just shut up and watch the fight. If you’re going to commentate and criticise things, put your money up.”
      Fury has agreed with his dad John and brother Tyson to RETIRE if he cannot beat former prankster-turned prizefighter Paul.  
      But Taylor – who has signed a multi-fight deal with KSI’s Misfits Boxing – has taken a more sympathetic view.
      He said: “Anyone can bounce back, it’s just how you do it. It’s about how you take a loss and come back.
      “Look man, this is a case of hard work beats talent. People need to give Tommy a break, he’s doing things others can’t do.

      “Is he over his head? Yeah, he is. But let’s give this man a break, he’s only 23-years-old, he’s still a young kid.
      “He has a lot more to give, if he loses and comes to Misfits, yeah best believe I’ll be waiting for you at Misfits buddy, because I’m the new king of Misfits.”

      Jake Paul backed to become WORLD CHAMPION for three reasons by ex-coach and boxing legend Shane Mosley

      by

      BOXING legend Shane Mosley believes Jake Paul has what it takes to become a WORLD CHAMPION. Mosley, who won titles in three divisions, was the first to ever train Paul as a professional.

      He led the YouTuber-turned boxer to a one-round victory over YouTube rival AnEsonGib in January 2020.
      But Paul is now trained by ex-cruiserweight contender BJ Flores and Danny Smith, since going 6-0.
      He returns on Sunday in Saudi Arabia against Tommy Fury, with the victor earning a WBC cruiserweight world ranking.
      And should Paul, 26, win and be rated in the top 15, it would pave the way for a shock title shot.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      And Mosley believes the American has the tools to take it all the way eventually, but suggested a move down to light-heavyweight.
      He told FightHype: “It is a possibility, because he has the frame, he has the speed, he has the power.
      “He might need to lose a little bit of weight, but he fights at cruiserweight so maybe he goes down to light-heavyweight.
      “It is going to be hard for him at any of the weights, once you get to that level, then he has got to work with the right people.

      “But, like right now, it will probably take him, two, three, four years to even be in that section, that area.
      “He is not there yet, but if he fights the right people, then maybe he can do it.”
      Fury, 23, will be the first opponent of Paul’s with a recognised boxing record.
      That is despite wins over ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47.
      UFC legend Silva even beat former middleweight champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 37, in 2021.
      And Mosley named son-of-a-legend Chavez Jr as the perfect man to fight if Paul beats Fury.
      He said: “Maybe he should fight Chavez Jr or something, or he fights this guy [Tommy Fury] and he wins, then fight Chavez Jr.
      “Anderson Silva fought him already, maybe he should fight him and see what happens.
      Read More on The Sun
      “He has to step his way up, keep stepping his way up and the way he looks now, he can do it.
      “The way he is training now, continue to train, continue to believe, yeah, why not?”

      I’m Jake Paul’s sparring partner and he already has one advantage over Tommy Fury, he better be taking the fight serious

      by

      JAKE PAUL’S sparring partner Kalvin Henderson believes Tommy Fury has already been dealt one defeat ahead of their grudge match. The pair of celebrity boxing rivals have rescheduled their pay-per-vie fight for Sunday in Saudi Arabia.

      Helping Paul prepare for the fight – just 400 miles away in Dubai – is super-middleweight contender Henderson. 
      He spent three weeks in camp with the YouTuber-turned unbeaten boxer and was left impressed with what he experienced in the ring. 
      But it is Paul’s work outside the ropes that he believes has given him an early edge against 8-0 Fury. 
      Henderson, 32, told SunSport: “I think he has won – so far at least – the mind games over Tommy. 
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “I think Tommy will approach this fight with a different mindset and now the fight is actually real and Jake is actually training for this guy, I think Tommy is re-thinking some things. 
      “I think Jake has won the mind control fight over Tommy, but they have a great game plan for Tommy. 
      “I’m really hoping Tommy is in the gym taking it seriously and really getting in shape because Jake is locked in.” 
      Henderson was one of a pack of paid sparring partners, helping punch Paul into top shape for the box office bout.

      And he revealed the 6-0 social media sensation gave as good as he got in the practise rounds. 
      Henderson said: “The first couple of times I was kind of downloading information on what he’s good at, what he’s not good at. What he likes doing, how’s his power, how’s his speed.
      “I was gaining information, but the second week we sparred, I turned it up. I pushed the envelope and started unleashing some of my weapons. 
      “But, to Jake’s credit he came out every round ready to work again, he responded  very well and what impressed me most is he continued to make adjustments. 
      “Even in the later rounds in sparring, usually I turn it up around round three or four and guys kind of go into what I call survival mode to try and make it through the rounds. 
      “But it was cool to see Jake address every round like it was a new round, ready to get to work, making adjustments. 

      “Of course, we didn’t go in there to try and kill him, he’s got a fight coming up and if I get kicked out of camp, that’s my money also gone too! 
      “I was never hurting Jake, we picked and choosed when to turn it up, when to hit and move, but he’s made major improvements, especially for a guy who’s only been boxing three years.”
      Paul, 26, is finally set to fight Fury, 23, who has twice pulled out in the past amid injury and US visa issues. 
      And Henderson warned the fight will be decided on how Fury approaches it tactically – with Paul equally as capable of winning by KO or the cards. 
      He said: “It really depends how Tommy comes in. If Tommy wants to move his feet and run all around the ring, it might go all eight rounds. 
      “But if Tommy comes in and wants to press and engage, he might get caught early and go to sleep. It really depends on what Tommy shows up that night.

      “But I know Jake is going to come ready. That’s what I like about it too, like I said, their game plan they’re hammering it in week after week, om the bag, on the pads, in sparring. 
      “They’re ready to go. I’m sure they’re ready to go now, but February 26th they’ll be ready to go for sure.”

      ‘He’s not ready for that’ – Jake Paul warned against world title challenge by Badou Jack despite boxing for WBC ranking

      by

      BADOU JACK has warned Jake Paul against fighting for shock world honours – even if he wins the right to.Paul faces Tommy Fury in their rescheduled grudge match on Sunday in Saudi Arabia.

      And the victor will earn themselves a WBC cruiserweight world ranking – anywhere from the top 40-15 – depending on the performance.
      Any the top 15 fighter is eligible to contend for a championship, meaning should Paul win in convincing enough style, it paves the way for a title shot.
      And Jack happens to be challenging champion Ilunga Makabu for the very belt that the YouTuber-turned boxer could be ranked for.
      But the two-division king – seeking a title in his third weight – urged Paul against aiming at the top just yet.

      Jack, 39, told SunSport: “Come on, it’s different levels. I think he’ll get ranked in the top 50, I don’t think he’ll get ranked to fight for a title.
      “It would take years for that and obviously he’s not ready for that. The WBC, they’re thinking smart with business minds.
      “He’ll generate money and that’s what it’s all about, but of course, he can’t fight for the title right now.
      “He hasn’t even fought him yet, but he would’ve fought only one boxer. It takes time.”

      Jack conducted his training camp in Dubai, just 400 miles away from Saudi.
      And so did Paul, with the pair bumping into each other and even sharing ice cold recovery baths together.
      Jack revealed: “It looks like he’s training hard.
      “This is the hurt business, so you’ve got to train hard but now he’s finally fighting a real boxer, so it looks like he’s ready for it.”
      Paul, 26, is at last set to meet Fury, 23, in the ring after his rival twice pulled out in the past, amid injury and visa issues.
      And it will be the first opponent he had faced with a recognised boxing record.
      That despite wins over ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 38, and Anderson Silva, 47.
      Some boxing purists took aim at the celebrity boxing pair headlining over Jack and Makabu, 35.
      But the Swedish legend claimed he is the people’s main event regardless.
      Come on, it’s different levels. I think he’ll get ranked in the top 50, I don’t think he’ll get ranked to fight for a title.Badou Jack on Jake Paul fighting for a world title
      Jack said: “I’m the real main event anyway. People who know boxing know that.
      “But no, I’m not mad. I’m just happy for this opportunity and you can look at it like, maybe we get some new fans from their audience.
      “It’s a new era of boxing, the social media era and I’m just thankful to Prince Khalid and Saudi Arabia for helping me get this fight.
      “Now it’s up to me to prove that I’m the best.”
      Jack has featured in some of the biggest events in boxing history, including undercard spots on Floyd Mayweather and Anthony Joshua’s fights.
      Last August, when Joshua, 33, was beaten in a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk, 36, Jack narrowly edged past Richard Rivera, 32.
      But he is motivated to leave no doubt in his second trip to Saudi, with the stakes raised as he attempts to become a three-division champ.
      Jack said: “It’s for my legacy, a lot of great fighters moved up in weight and became champions in different weight classes.
      “I’m tall, I have the reach so why not? I’m excited. I’m still hungry, I take care of my body and I still feel young.

      “Last fight was not a good fight, there were some issues that happened and the motivation wasn’t really there like it is right now, fighting for the belt.
      “I’m still hungry, I’ve still got it.”

      The pair are due to put bragging rights, reputations and unbeaten records on the line in Saudi Arabia.
      But Paul is already thinking ahead to the future and has lined up two potential next fights.
      He told BT Sport: “We’ve got a big, big year ahead. There’s a massive offer out to Nate Diaz and his team to do one boxing match and one MMA match.
      “And then, you know the kid KSI, keeps on talking and he says that December, he wants to fight.

      “I’m ready whenever, November, September, December, I don’t care. Whenever he wants to die, I’m cool with it.
      “Whenever he wants to give me so much money, I’m cool with it. It’s going to be a bank robbery.
      “So hopefully that’s my year, is one, two, three, finish up with KSI. But a lot of these guys are talk, man. So who knows?”
      Paul, 26, this year signed with the Professional Fighters League, a rival MMA promotion to the UFC.

      He has a promotional role within the company but also confirmed he will make his MMA debut in the PFL cage.
      Diaz, 37, has been offered a two-fight deal, starting with a boxing bout with a rematch in MMA after he walked out on the UFC.
      Meanwhile KSI, 29, has had three comeback fights since beating Paul’s brother Logan, 27, in their 2019 rematch.
      It has kept the rivalry alive with talks of a winner-take-all blockbuster between the YouTube star’s in Wales.
      But firstly, Paul faces his first opponent with a recognised boxing record in Fury, 23, to finally settle their score in the ring.

      But Paul, 26, who has turned himself into a boxer after building up his profile through YouTube, believes that John is hindering Tommy’s career.
      He said: “I’m getting 33 per cent better each year, because I’ve only been boxing three years.
      “I am increasing exponentially, whereas Tommy’s done it for 12 years, so how much can his skill level really improve? 
      “He’s really stuck in his ways of how he is as a boxer, especially with his dad training him.

      “He’s worked with other trainers who are way better, but his dad is actually hindering him and making him a worse fighter.”
      The ‘Problem Child’ made the digs ahead of their Saudi showdown on Sunday.
      The boxing match has been wanted since 2021, but it was repeatedly pushed back as Fury has withdrawn on two occasions.
      While Fury, 23, has had other trainers, he has insisted that John has always been his “primary trainer”.

      Tommy Fury will also earn WBC ranking if he beats Jake Paul with one of stars in line for shock world title contention

      by

      TOMMY FURY will also earn a WBC ranking if he beats Jake Paul – leaving both fighting for world title contention. The pair of celebrity boxing rivals meet in a rescheduled grudge match on Sunday in Saudi Arabia.

      And the stakes were raised after the WBC announced that Paul will recieve a cruiserweight world ranking if he emerges victorious.
      But WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman CONFIRMED to SunSport that Fury will also be ranked should he win.
      To contend for a world title, a fighter must be within the WBC’s top 15 ratings.
      But, this ranking is not guaranteed for either Paul, 26, or Fury, 23.
      Read More in boxing
      Instead, the WBC will analyse the result and place the winner anywhere from the top 40-15, depending on the nature of the performance.
      Meaning, if the victor impresses enough, they can receive a top 15 rating and be eligible for a world title fight.
      Sulaiman told SunSport: “(We) cannot anticipate which number.
      “The WBC ranks 40 fighters in each weight category, the performance in such fight, by both fighters, will determine the evaluation of the ratings committee.”
      Most read in Boxing
      Paul has beaten ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47, during his 6-0 career.
      But after Fury twice pulled out before – amid injury and visa issues – it left the American yet to face a recognised boxer.
      He was set to in August, when 13-2 heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, signed on as a late replacement.
      The WBC were even willing to rank Paul if he won, until the fight was cancelled due to a weight disagreement.
      Instead, the YouTuber-turned boxer returned in October to beat UFC legend Silva on points, in a win hailed by Sulaiman.

      He said: “I had provided my opinion before Jake Paul’s last fight and the WBC ratings committee did not rate him after his win versus Silva.
      “Now that he will fight Tommy Fury, who is an established boxer, it becomes possible to rate him.”
      Paul had vowed to shock the world and become a world champ one day, despite not yet fighting a seasoned boxer.
      He won a WBC “amateur” belt for his white collar win over KSI’s younger brother Deji, now 26, in 2018.
      And Paul has remained on good terms with the WBC and Sulaiman ever since, paving the way for a potential title shot in the future.
      Sulaiman added: “That is something that will be determined by Jake Paul himself.
      “He started as an amateur boxer and he has improved his boxing skills in a very important way.
      Read More on The Sun
      “It seems he has tremendous punching power, solid chin and keeps improving technique and defence.
      “We will see what happens in the future, I respect him very much for his training ethics, discipline and dedication, just as a professional boxer does.”

      He said: ‘If they start covering me now because I have made two dribbles then you just do the same.
      “You know, Bam, get in there.”
      “That outside player always comes in so just look at the other side or go on, on, on.
