      Jake Paul’s COACH BJ Flores called out by Hasim Rahman Jr for ‘personal’ grudge match on undercard of his fight with KSI

      by

      HASIM RAHMAN JR has called on Jake Paul’s boxing coach BJ Flores to come out of retirement so he can settle their feud in the ring. Rahman is still fuming over his cancelled fight with Paul last August, which was axed with a week to go amid a row over the weight.

      After the fallout, Flores took aim online at the heavyweight, who is now signed to KSI’s Misfits boxing banner. 
      YouTuber-turned boxer KSI, 29, is in line for a massive grudge match against Paul, 26, at the end of the year, with rumours of an all-professional card. 
      Rahman, 31, wants a spot on the show and named Flores, 44, as the perfect man to face. 
      He told SunSport: “If it’s all pros tell Jake to put his bitch ass trainer in there and I’ll fight BJ Flores.

      “I’ve been kicking BJ’s ass since I was 17 or 18-years-old. Then he’s got the nerve to come out and talk sideways about me. 
      “I’ve been dropping BJ in the gym since my early 20s, go ask Mike McCallum.” 
      Flores, a former cruiserweight world title challenger, used to regularly spar Rahman in Las Vegas. 
      And after he transitioned to coaching Paul in 2019, he remained on good terms with the son of heavyweight legend Hasim Sr.

      Rahman was even used by Flores in sparring for Paul, two years before they signed to fight each other. 
      But after their scheduled pay-per-view bout collapsed at the 11th hour, the two sides have feuded ever since. 
      Rahman said: “I was flabbergasted that he would come out his neck about me when I’ve been beating him up.
      “He’s been calling me for sparring for years, he has always given me praise after we spar and then he comes out and says I’m not a ‘real boxer.’
      “So you’re calling people who are not ‘real boxers’ for your championship fights? That’s what he’s saying. 
      “Then he wanted Jake to get so much credit for fighting me but then he turns around and says I’m not a real boxer. So which one is it? 
      “You wanted Jake to get credit for fighting a real boxer and then turn around and say I’m not a real boxer.
      “I whooped his ass in the gym every time we boxed, it got to the point where BJ Flores wouldn’t spar me without a handicap. 
      “There had to be a handicap when I was sparring BJ and that’s why he was so comfortable calling me to spar Jake, because he knew I could box with a handicap.

      “He knew I could box right handed if he needed me to or I could box just southpaw. In no world does BJ Flores see the final bell against me.” 
      “Just like with Jake, it’s personal. It’s personal, these men tried doing me real bad and thank God for JJ and the Misfits team and everything we’ve got coming.”

      I’m earning millions to fight Jake Paul but life won’t change, I’ll still shop at Tesco after I KO him, says Tommy Fury

      by

      TOMMY FURY is set to earn millions for fighting Jake Paul – but he will never be too rich or famous for his weekly Tesco shop. The unbeaten British boxing star looks to settle the score with YouTuber Paul in Saudi Arabia on Sunday, 4,000 miles away from home in Manchester.

      And his purse is believed to be more than £2MILLION for the celebrity grudge match.
      But Fury – who welcomed baby daughter Bambi into the world last month – has vowed to remain down to Earth.
      He told SunSport in Riyadh: “The money will be good, 100 per cent, but my life, will it change? No. 
      “I’ll still sleep in the same bed, I’ll still drive the same car, I’ll still go to Tesco on the weekends to stock up.

      “I’ll still go on my same holidays and that’s it. I’m a real simple guy, I like to eat junk food, that’s my main thing. 
      “I’m not going to be living in Beverly Hills in LA or California, buying £1million watches and stuff like that. I’m not going to do that.
      “I’m not interested in that, my life will not change at all.” 
      Leaving behind baby Bambi and girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague is just one of the painful sacrifices Fury has made to finally fight Paul.

      But once the bad blood is buried in the Diriyah desert, he plans to celebrate with his two biggest fans waiting at home.
      Fury added: “That’s what I’m looking forward to most, getting back, all the talk is over, and then I can just go about my business. 
      “Go back home, spend time with my daughter, my missus and just be a family man for the next few months.” 
      Fury has been afforded THREE chances of facing Paul, having twice pulled out before amid injury and US visa issues.
      It has kept the verbal feud festering for over two years but Fury promised now is the time to let his fists do the talking.
      He said: “I’m definitely relieved we’re here, at the end of the days it’s been a long road. 
      “It’s been two and a half years in the making, we’re here now and I can’t wait for Sunday. 
      “Everybody can see, by the way I’m sat here, I’m confident, calm, relaxed.
      ‘I’m not spouting a load of bulls*** down the phone. I’m here, I’m waiting for Sunday night.”

      Fury is joined by his heavyweight champion brother Tyson, 34, for the fight of his life, following years watching and learning.
      He said: “At the end of the day, even though this will only be my ninth professional fight, I’ve got buckets loads of experience. 
      “I’ve been around Tyson, been around world title fights, the fights with Deontay Wilder, been in the changing rooms for all of that, around the fight weeks. 
      “I’ve seen how it’s down and seen how it’s handled by the best. So I’m just taking that and putting it into my arsenal. 
      “I know my levels, it would be different if I was going up against a real 50/50 fight but the reality of it is, this isn’t it a 50/50 fight. 
      “I know I’m better than this man and when you have that feeling in your mind, it becomes easy and it becomes enjoyable.” 
      Fury simply cannot picture a loss against Paul and warned the YouTuber-turned boxer will taste both the deck and defeat.
      He predicted: “I will knock him out. I will knock Jake Paul out, very early.

      “There is no other outcome in my mind, I’ve visualised this fight 100 times and I’ve seen him on the floor 100 times.

      Jake Paul reveals when he will make MMA debut with PFL after secretly training while in camp for Tommy Fury fight

      by

      JAKE PAUL has set a timeframe for his MMA debut – after secretly training for it ahead of his fight with Tommy Fury. Paul finally faces Tommy Fury – who has twice pulled out before due to injury and US visa issues – on Sunday in Saudi Arabia.
      Jake Paul pictured training in MMACredit: @jakepaul
      It comes just over a month after the YouTuber-turned boxer signed a deal with the UFC’s rivals, The Professional Fighters League.
      Paul, 26, will help spearhead the PFL’s new “super-fight” division, which will also host his debut in the cage in 2024.
      And the former high-school wrestler has been working on his MMA skills while preparing to fight Fury, 23.
      Paul said on The MMA Hour: “After this fight I’m going to get back into the MMA training.

      “We’ve been working on the jiu jitsu. It’s coming really naturally and first though.
      “I was a wrestler, so like a lot of my movements are just like snapping right back to me when I was doing jiu jitsu/wrestling training.
      “And I have the boxing, so it’s really just getting the kicks and being able to defend the kicks, which is going to be interesting.
      “But I like to push myself, that’s what life’s about, is living outside your comfort zone, the best people will tell you that.

      “I just wanna do MMA. I think I can be really good at it.”
      Paul’s fight with Fury will mark the first time he has faced a recognised professional boxer, despite wins over ex-MMA champions.
      He already has Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and UFC great Anderson Silva, 47, on his winning resume in the ring.
      But the American is ready to try and add one more legendary UFC name onto his record in Nate Diaz.
      Paul said: “I think they’re ready. I’m getting through Sunday and we’re going to line that one up, ASAP.
      “Yeah, I think that’s next. I think that’s what the fans want, and that’s who I want.
      “There’s been a lot of talk back and forth, we’ve said our stuff, but it’s time to get down to business.”
      Paul he has even offered 37-year-old Diaz a two-fight deal, in both the ring and cage.

      He said: “I want to do the one fight boxing, one fight MMA, but I’m not sure if Nate’s team is fully aligned on that yet or I don’t know if they realise how serious I am about that.

      Jake Paul’s sparring partner addresses fight fix claim and reveals how hard he punches in warning to Tommy Fury

      by

      JAKE PAUL hit his sparring partner Kalvin Henderson so hard he immediately ruled out any allegations of fight fixing. The YouTuber-turned boxer has been forced to deny baseless accusations that his wins over Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva were rigged.

      But Henderson – who has been in camp with Paul for his upcoming fight with Tommy Fury – is able to put those theories to bed. 
      He told SunSport: “He hit me with a right hand and I instantly knew that the fight he had with Tyron Woodley when he knocked him unconscious wasn’t fixed at all. 
      “That was a real shot, he caught me with a shot and of course, I’m a seasoned professional boxer I wasn’t dazed or got dropped or anything, but I didn’t want to get hit with that shot anymore. 
      “I had to make adjustments to make sure I didn’t get hit with it anymore. When he caught me I felt the pop on him.” 
      READ MORE IN boxing
      Paul knocked out Askren, 38, and Woodley, 40, but was taken the distance by UFC legend Silva, 47, last October. 
      But he faces his first opponent with a recognised pro boxing record on Sunday in Saudi Arabia, against Fury, 23. 
      Henderson, 32, was approached by Paul’s coach BJ Flores via Instagram to help prepare for the celebrity grudge match. 
      And after three weeks in camp with the American in Dubai – just 400 miles away from the scene of fight night – he was full of praise.

      Henderson said: “What really shocked me the most was he’s really locked in, man.
      “He’s not doing this for no gimmick, for no jokes or content or likes or shares. 
      “He’s really a boxer, he trains like I would for a fight. He goes to the gym and doesn’t play around, does his recovery and he goes home. 
      “He doesn’t hang around the gym and crack jokes, he goes and puts in work.” 
      Super-middleweight contender Henderson admitted it took a few rounds to come to terms with Paul’s uncoventional style. 
      He revealed: “Jake’s a little unorthodox, a little quirky in his movement.
      “It’s not like a traditional boxer where you know where the shots are coming from. 
      “His timing is a little weird too, he’ll be moving one second and then he’ll throw a right hand or a left hand the next second. 
      “It kind of takes a little time to adjust to it. He has good pop for his size.” 

      🥊 How to watch Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel
      Paul, in just three years of professional prizefighting, is already one of the richest stars in the sport. 
      In 2021, he was behind only Canelo Alvarez, 32, and Tyson Fury, 34, in the list of highest-paid boxers. 
      His pay-per-view appeal has afforded him fortune in the ring, but away from the on-screen bravado, Paul is a welcoming character. 
      Henderson said: “When Jake’s on camera, he’s one way, kinda like an actor in a movie. But when you’re talking to him, he’s very cool, down to earth. 
      “I was sharing some insight from one of our sparring sessions, what I was impressed on and it was cool to hear how intellectual Jake is and how his mind works on boxing. 
      “He was locked in. He’s a cool guy, man. No issues at all.” 
      Paul is finally set to fight Fury, who has twice pulled out in the past amid injury and US visa issues. 
      And Henderson has backed his training partner to win, in a warning to Britain’s Fury.

      He said: “If Tommy comes in and what 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.

      And it will mark the first time Paul has fought a recognised professional boxer, despite wins over ex-MMA champions.
      But the YouTuber-turned prizefighter is ready to try and add one more legendary UFC name onto his winning record.
      Paul revealed Nate Diaz – who left the UFC last year – is the early frontrunner to be his next opponent.
      He said on The MMA Hour: “I think they’re ready. I’m getting through Sunday and we’re going to line that one up, ASAP.

      Paul, 26, added that summer is the target date for a fight with Diaz, 37.
      He already has Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and UFC great Anderson Silva, 47, on his winning resume in the ring.

      Muhsin Cason stars on Jake Paul’s undercard after sparring with him amid nephew Hasim Rahman Jr’s feud with YouTuber

      by

      MUHSIN CASON has put a family feud to one side in a bid to steal the show on Jake Paul’s undercard. Cason features on the pay-per-view headlined by celebrity boxing rivals Paul and Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia on Sunday.

      The cruiserweight is the younger brother of heavyweight legend Hasim Rahman, who stunned Lennox Lewis in 2001 but lost the rematch. 
      And Cason – 21 years Rahman’s junior – is ready to announce himself as the latest boxing star to come out of the fighting family.
      He told SunSport: “This is the fight where people are going to know why I got picked for this card. I’m ready to show everybody what talent I have. 
      “I’m not just Hasim Rahman’s younger brother. I’m a boxer, I’m a box-puncher and I’m going to prove to everybody I can become world champion, inshallah.”

      Cason spent time sparring with Paul in Puerto Rico in 2021, building a relationship that has seen him afforded a slot on the weekend’s card against Taryel Jafarov.
      But the friendship was fractured last summer when his nephew, Rahman Jr, signed to fight Paul in place of Fury last year. 
      Rahman Jr’s fight was later scrapped with a week to go amid a weight disagreement, leaving the bad blood with Paul still brewing on his side. 
      Cason talked with his nephew – who is actually two years older than him – after being offered a spot on the YouTuber-turned boxer’s card.

      He revealed: “Yeah, I spoke to him. He said congratulations. He just said, ‘Your time’ basically. There’s no animosity towards me fighting on Jake Paul’s card. 
      “I was in camp with Jake before this, so it’s just business. If it makes dollars, it makes sense.” 
      Rahman Jr, holding no grudges, added: “I don’t have beef with nobody that’s not trying to stop me from eating. 
      “They did what they did, they showed their true colours and I did what I did and showed my true colours. 
      “I feel like they know who was wrong in the whole situation, and they tried to dress it up and pin it on me but they know who was wrong. 
      “I’ve been blessed with ample opportunities, so there’s no way I would tell my uncle, ‘Don’t mess with this guy.’ 
      “No man, I want my uncle to prosper, I want him to go out there and actually steal the show from Jake. I want him to get knockout of the night.” 
      This is the fight where people are going to know why I got picked for this card. I’m ready to show everybody what talent I have. Muhsin Cason
      Cason was fuming when Paul, 26, aimed a dig his way during a pre-fight press conference with Rahman Jr, 31. 
      But as the dust later settled, so too did his urge to settle the score with Paul in the ring. 
      Cason said: “The beef was squashed a while ago, I really wanted to get in the ring over it. I wanted to but I guess it wasn’t smart for me to do it. 
      “My manager said, ‘Relax. Cool off on Jake, big opportunities are coming.’ Now I know why. So I relaxed over it and it paid off.” 
      Paul is now set to finally fight Fury, who has twice pulled out in the past amid injury and visa issues. 
      Cason was brought into camp to help prepare Paul to fight Fury last August, and backed his old training partner to win this time around. 
      He said: “Jake has a chin and also he’s relentless. I’ve got it going the full eight and Jake by decision.

      “Because, Tommy doesn’t really show up in fights. He pitty pats, he doesn’t really get the knockout, not what he’s supposed to do. 
      “He’s an OK boxer but I think the pressure is going to get to him in this fight.”

      Jake Paul dodged a bullet by cancelling our fight, I would’ve painfully ended his boxing career, says Hasim Rahman Jr

      by

      HASIM RAHMAN JR claimed Jake Paul dodged a bullet and saved his boxing career after their cancelled fight. Paul on Sunday faces Tommy Fury, who was forced to pull out in December 2021 due to injury and again last August amid US visa issues.

      On the second occasion, heavyweight Rahman signed as a late replacement but was forced to come down TWO STONE to 200lb. 
      The New York State Athletic Commission later changed the bout to 205lb, but even then the two sides disagreed. 
      Eventually, the fight was scrapped with Rahman, 31, going on to sign for KSI’s Misfits Boxing banner after the ordeal. 
      He did hold an unoffical weigh in the day before the proposed bout to prove he could make the catchweight limit – but hit the scales at 206.6lb.

      Meanwhile Paul, 26, instead returned last October to beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, living to fight another day in Rahman’s eyes.
      He told SunSport: “He dodged a bullet, even when we were going to 205. That extra 5lb was literally all I needed. 
      “Had it actually been fight week, who knows? Maybe I would have actually made 205. I made 206 and weighed in like an hour early. 
      “Jake Paul’s team knew what they were doing, they knew not to give me any time to get ready, they wouldn’t put him in that position.

      “They all were telling him he was making a mistake by fighting me in the first place.” 
      After Rahman’s cancellation, Fury, 23, becomes the first opponent with a recognised boxing record Paul will face. 
      He has instead recorded wins over ex-MMA champions in Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Silva. 
      Paul twice beat ex-UFC welterweight champ Woodley, on points in August 2021 and then by KO in their rematch as Fury withdrew injured. 
      The American was taken the eight rounds – even punched through the ropes and threatened to retire – which later emerged as a joke. 
      But Rahman insisted the damage he was set to do on Paul would have been no laughing matter. 
      He said: “I don’t like Jake, I don’t like him. I think he would’ve retired from boxing, he wouldn’t have been able to go back to creator boxing. 
      “I think I would have hurt that man so bad, he would have been like, ‘I don’t think I want to do this anymore.’
      I don’t like Jake, I don’t like him. I think he would’ve retired from boxing, he wouldn’t have been able to go back to creator boxing. Hasim Rahman Jr on Jake Paul
      “He had that aura about him after he fought Tyron Woodley the first time, he didn’t seem too sure on whether he wanted to keep doing this. 
      “I can guarantee you he would’ve been in five-ten times more pain and had to go through five-ten times as much with me than he did with Tyron Woodley.” 
      Paul is set to move down to a career-lowest 185lb against Fury, having largely boxed at 190lb.
      Meanwhile Rahman was 226lb for his last fight, a loss to ex-NFL star and now heavyweight fighter, who weighed over SEVEN STONE more. 
      The weight disparity means the pair are not likely to ever cross paths and despite the bad blood, Rahman still backed Paul to beat Fury.

      He said: “I think Jake wins a decision. I’m not sold on Jake’s power.

      And they welcomed in bare-knuckle boxing veteran Christie, who was so convinced by what he saw he whacked a wager on Fury to beat Paul. 
      But he warned the 8-0 prospect to box smart and not let his heart rule his head with tensions running high in the celebrity boxing rivalry. 
      Christie told SunSport: “I’ve put a nice bet on him down at the bookies, I’m very confident he’ll get the win.

      “But in my opinion, with this becoming a very personal affair he may become overzealous, he may – and I hope he doesn’t – go looking for the knockout. 
      “Once it turns into a firefight it’s anybody’s  game and Jake Paul is a powerful lad as we know. 
      “But for me, the keys for victory for Tommy are just using his good boxing, using his good fundamentals, doubling and tripling up that jab. 
      “A lot of feints, a lot of movement and just busting him up over the first few rounds and just getting him frustrated and marking him up.

      “I think Tommy can win quite easily if he sticks to his fundamentals but like I said, if it turns into a firefight, who knows? It’s anyone’s game.” 
      Christie was pleasantly surprised with Fury’s boxing fundamentals, revealing: “He nullified a lot of things that I like to do.

      “He had me doing all the things I don’t like to do, I was overarching, overextending, leaving my feet behind and he was making me pay.

      “He could have him overextending and overreaching, he could have him down, he could have him stopped.
