      But Love Island hunk Fury is seemingly so desperate to put an end to their feud that he’s willing to give up a lucrative purse to get his hands on the YouTuber.
      The 23-year-old said: “Once again I’m seeing Jake Paul s**t all over the internet.
      “You offered Paddy Pimblett a million pound to spar.
      “You offered Tyson a million-pound bet about some b****cks or other.

      “But you don’t want to pay me much more to have a fight.
      “Well I’ll go one better than that cause it’s gone past money for me now – I’m not bothered.
      “I’ll fight you for free in Manchester or London, next month.
      “Not a problem. So let’s see how game you are.

      “Promoters get nothing whose trying to take everything, me and you get nothing, all proceeds will go to charity.
      “I just want to fight you and put an end to you, because all this money and everything – it’s gone on too long. Take it or leave it.”
      SunSport understands Paul vs Fury is tentatively slated to take place in Saud Arabia on February 25.
      But former Disney actor Paul insists he’s willing to fight Fury on enemy territory a week earlier.
      The Problem Child told The Mirror: “I have done everything in my power to make the fight happen against this 8-0 boxer, including offering to go to Manchester on February 18 in partnership with Frank and George Warren.
      “I’m looking at any other alternative to make this fight work.”
      Fury hasn’t set foot in the ring since his Dubai exhibition with Rolly Lambert last November.
      Paul, meanwhile, was last in action last October against former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

      EBANIE BRIDGES has thrown her support over to Elle Brooke and Jake Paul while naming Tyson Fury as her dream Christmas dinner guest. Bridges trains with Only Fans star-turned celebrity boxer Brooke and helped corner her to a win in July.

      So when asked about the new age of “YouTube Boxing” in Matchroom’s end of year review, the Australian praised her stable-mate.
      She said: “My friend Elle Brooke, I see her in the gym for the last four-five months, she’s never put on a glove before.
      “I’ve seen her come in the gym every single day, work just as hard as all of us, she’s so dedicated and she’s so disciplined.
      “She listens, just because of the whole YouTube fame and the TokTik fame and all of that stuff, doesn’t mean she doesn’t take it seriously because she’s fallen in love with it and she does take it seriously.

      “The only difference is, instead of doing the amateurs like you would when you first start out and put on gloves and no one sees it, these TikTokers and YouTubers are having their first few fights with like this huge audience.
      “So we’re looking at them going, ‘Oh, they can’t box, they can’t do this and that.’ Of course they can’t, they’re novices.”
      American Paul, 25, is perhaps the most successful crossover boxer, having amassed an unbeaten 6-0 record.
      But it is not his pay-per-view wins over ex-UFC champions Tyron Woodley, 40, or Brazilian legend Anderson Silva, 47, that impresses Bridges most.

      It is instead his work as a promoter to women’s champion Amanda Serrano, 35, who he helped turn into a star overnight and millionaire fighter.
      Bridges said: “Look at Jake Paul and Serrano, that’s just a little example.
      “Serrano wouldn’t even be known globally or making that kind of money if it wasn’t for people like Jake Paul.
      “And I think he genuinely loves boxing and wants to help people.”
      Bridges, 36, is coming off a stoppage win over Aussie rival Shannon O’Connell, 39, and hopes for a title unification this year.
      The IBF bantamweight champion linked up with adult film actress Brooke for a Christmas collaboration on her OnlyFans.
      But when it comes down to a dream dinner guest for Christmas dinner, there is only one winner.
      Bridges said: “Maybe Tyson Fury.”

      Fury’s promoter Frank Warren revealed talks to reschedule his grudge match with Paul were ongoing.
      But the American took to social media to claim his celebrity boxing rival is refusing offers sent to him.
      Paul said: “Mike Perry, it might be your lucky year, because Tommy is running again.
      “If only the fans knew how much I was offering Tommy and he’s still ducking me. It’s pretty sad.”

      Fury, 23, has twice pulled out of fighting Paul, 25, firstly due to a rib injury in December 2021 and then over a US visa issue in August 2022.
      But the 8-0 boxer, brother of 34-year-old WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, has been given the chance to once again reschedule.
      And it was rumoured Fury was being offered $2million to fight Paul, who beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in October to move to 6-0.
      It leaves Perry, 31, as a wildcard alternative to welcome the social media sensation back to the ring.

      He is 2-0 in BKFC and recently took to Twitter to reveal a signed bout agreement with Paul.
      And if Fury fails to agree terms with the self-proclaimed “Problem Child” – Perry could be the selected opponent.

      The PFL is MMA’s only league format and consists of a Regular Season and Playoff.

      Diaz, 37, meanwhile is a free agent having ran out his contract with the UFC, last beating Tony Ferguson, 38, in September.
      He was ringside in October at Paul’s last fight, to watch the American beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, on points.

      Paul – who has bought equity in the company along with business partner Nakisa Baridian – plans to compete in the promotion’s newly-formed “Super Fight” division.
      According to the promotion, the division will see combatants earn a whopping 50 per cent of the revenue generated by pay-per-view sales.

      Co-founder Donn Davis told fighters: “You’re not a prisoner anymore to [the] UFC.

      He tweeted: “I signed a contract to fight @jakepaul but he changed his mind.”
      Perry, 31, then posted what he claimed was a contract to fight Paul, 25, and featured his signature.

      And he is already back in training for his seventh professional bout as talks with celebrity boxing rival Tommy Fury, 23, continue.
      The two have twice signed to fight but Fury pulled out both times, firstly after a rib injury last December and then amid a US visa issue in August.
      His travel woes still persist today but promoter Frank Warren revealed negotiations between the two camps are ongoing.
      Warren told iFL TV: “Both sides are really eager to making it happen and I don’t think we’re far off getting it on.

      ‘The show must go on’ – KSI to face YouTuber FaZe Temper in boxing return after rival Dillon Danis pulls out of fight

      by

      But KSI’s manager Mams Taylor announced the bout has fallen through, on promotion MisFits’ YouTube channel.
      KSI himself tweeted: “The show must go on. I’m still fighting January 14th.”
      Cracks began to appear when Danis, 29, failed to show up to the pre-fight press conference.
      And he later voiced concerns over a rehydration clause which prohibited him from weighing more than 185lb the day after their 177.5 lb weigh-in.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Taylor responded by dropping the clause out of the fight deal but claims Danis never responded.
      And he said it was the American’s Paradigm Management stable who informed him Danis was pulling out.
      Taylor confirmed they had a replacement opponent already lined up, like was the case in August.
      KSI, 29, was due to fight Alex Wassabi, 32, until his internet rival suffered a concussion and was withdrawn.
      Most read in Boxing
      Instead, KSI fought TWICE on the same night, beating rapper Swarmz, 25, and Mexican boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23.
      So it is familiar territory for the social media sensation, who is again searching for a new opponent.
      KSI tweeted: “2 fights, 2 pullouts.”
      It has since been revealed that content creator FaZe Temper – real name Thomas Oliveira – has replaced Danis.
      Temper has a 2-1 record, beating King Kenny on points in March and knocking out Overtflow in November.
      But he was brutally knocked out himself on KSI’s undercard in August by New Yorker Slim Albaher.

      by

      JAKE PAUL admitted he is “tired of beating these old dudes” after being called out by Donald Cerrone. The YouTuber-turned prizefighter is 6-0 in his boxing career, most recently beating UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47.

      That came after a pair of wins over former UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 40, and retired welterweight Ben Askren, 38.
      So Paul, 25, has no interest in facing “Cowboy” Cerrone, 39, who retired from the UFC last year.
      He told The Schmo: “I mean I don’t know, I’m kind of tired of beating these old dudes up like that.
      “You know what I’m saying? So, I’m just trying to get someone in there who is younger.

      “But they’re all scared, honestly. They’re just trying to protect their records.”
      Paul has already confirmed he is set to return in February, following his points win over eight rounds against Silva.
      And 8-0 Tommy Fury, 23, remains a possible opponent with the pair of celebrity boxing rivals still in talks to fight.
      Twice Fury has been forced to pull out of the grudge match before, due to a rib injury and US visa issue, but negotiations to once again reschedule are ongoing.
      Most read in Boxing
      Meanwhile Cerrone, who lost to Conor McGregor, 34, in 2020, has thrown his name into the hat to fight Paul.
      He said on the Thiccc Boy Studios: “Would I like to fight him? How could I say no to millions of dollars?
      “I would definitely go out there and do it, but I’m not sitting here saying, ‘Jake you’re a YouTuber, you’re not worth a f***, blah blah blah.’ No, man.
      “You’re making money and if you want to throw some money my way, I’m with you. The Jake Paul phenomenon is kind of crazy, it’s got everyone calling him out.
      “It’s kind of like the big Conor push. I feel like that’s happening with Jake Paul. Everyone wants in, and I don’t see why they wouldn’t, that’s a big money fight.
      “You can’t take it away from him. Everyone is saying those are rigged fights, and I think he’s hitting hard.
      “I really do think those are legitimate shots and strikes, and he’s been practicing boxing, and he’s whipping their asses.
      “I don’t think there’s any missed hype, I think he’s got something going.”
