      And he has enjoyed a pleasant build up with Silva – the man he once looked up to – but it has been a story of idol-turned rival for Paul.
      He roared: “I said to him ‘it’s my generation, it’s my time’. To be a legend you’ve got to beat a legend.
      “It’s time for war, I asked him if he’s ready. It’s been nice nice nice, it’s been swet sweet sweet.
      “I respect that man but he’s trying to take the food off of my plate, he’s trying to stop my run.

      “Tomorrow night, guess what? I’m f****ng him up, I’m f****ng him up!”
      Paul, 25, hit the scales at 186.5lb, under the agreed upon catchweight with Silva, who came in at 186.1lb.
      The Brazilian said: “I’m so happy to be here and tomorrow I’m going to do my best to make a good show for everyone.
      “Of course I’m going to win, I’m training for that fight.”

      Paul’s five prior wins all came around the 190lb mark and he wanted to return at 185lb but Silva negotiated a compromise of 187lb.
      The American has come down in weight as he eyes a shock run at the light-heavyweight title of 175lb.
      He last fought in December, knocking out Tyron Woodley, 40, four months after beating the ex-UFC champion on points.
      That added to KOs over online rival AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 38.

      KSI is never going to get in the ring with me so I’ll prove I’m better by beating his coach Viddal Riley, says Jake Paul

      by

      JAKE PAUL wants to prove he is a better fighter than KSI – by beating his old coach Viddal Riley. The American has grown doubtful that his YouTube boxing rival will face him, so is ready to instead take on his ex-trainer Riley.

      Viddal Riley formerly coached KSI
      Paul, 25, told Sky Sports: “I think it would be super, super interesting.
      “I talk about the possibility of fighting Viddal, I think it’s super interesting, especially because he was KSI’s trainer and the whole narrative between KSI and I.
      “But KSI is never going to get into the ring with me. He is not taking it seriously. There’s no way he can catch up to the level that I’m at.
      “So I think it would be funny to prove to the world that I’m better than KSI and beat his trainer. I think it’s definitely a possibility.

      Riley, 25, guided KSI to a draw and win over Paul’s brother Logan, 27, but stopped coaching to focus on his own 6-0 career.
      KSI, 29, had not fought since beating Logan in 2019 until returning to the ring in August.
      He won two farcical fights in one night, beating rapper Swarmz, 25, and so-called professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23.
      Meanwhile, Paul is 5-0 having beaten the likes of ex-UFC pair Ben Askren, 38, and Tyron Woodley, 40.

      He faces UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, over the weekend in the toughest test of his career.
      And Paul has already opened the door to a fight with Riley, believing it is a better matchup than against KSI.
      He said: “It makes a lot of sense. I think we have similar records. I think the boxing world would laugh: ‘You’re going to lose.’
      “I just know I would win. That’s what would be great about the fight. The shock factor.
      “If we could figure out the business side of it, if we could get media partners aligned to be interested in it, then I think it’s a big fight.”

      “Respectfully knock him out. With love and grace and a kiss.”
      Paul is set to play up to his words by wearing a pair of custom-made Grant gloves with “ZZZ” written on them.

      Jake Paul says Dana White is the reason he is facing Anderson Silva after UFC boss ‘guaranteed’ he would’t accept fight

      by

      JAKE PAUL revealed Dana White is the reason he is fighting UFC legend Anderson Silva. The YouTuber-turned boxer returns over the weekend in Arizona for his first bout in ten months.

      It will be his third opponent formerly of the UFC, following knockout wins over Ben Askren, 38, and Tyron Woodley, 40, last year.
      But UFC president White claimed last year that Paul would not dare challenge Brazilian icon Silva.
      He said: “I f***ing guarantee you this, you ain’t gonna see Jake Paul calling Anderson Silva out.
      “That I f***ing promise you. He’s his size, and he’s actually good. He’s old, which is what Jake Paul looks for, he likes to fight old guys.”

      But Paul wanted to prove his promotional rival wrong and claimed White feels threatened by him.
      He said: “I think it’s because I’m the No1 figurehead that is exposing his business model and how much of a shark he is and how poorly he treats his fighters.
      “He said I wouldn’t fight Anderson Silva, who is one of UFC’s greats, and now here I am fighting him.
      “And he largely, in part, promoted that. He’s the reason why I took this fight… it’s to prove him wrong and shut him the hell up.”

      During his hiatus from the ring, Paul, 25, has continued to train non-stop in his Puerto Rico base.
      And he has benefited from top-level sparring against the likes of former world champion Chad Dawson, 40, among other contenders.
      Paul’s head trainer BJ Flores claimed the feedback from the sessions have all been on the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s power.
      Flores told Yahoo Sports: “I’d say he is a prospect and someone to definitely watch out for.

      “Regardless of how long he’s boxing, the one thing you really have to respect that he does have what very few people have, real punching power.

      “Every single person who has been in camp with him and sparred with him says this kid has real, real power.
      “He’s somebody to watch out for regardless of his skill level. And you’re going to see a much improved skill level [on Saturday].

      I’m an ex-world champ and Jake Paul’s sparring partner… I was sceptical at first but left impressed, says Chad Dawson

      by

      FORMER world champion Chad Dawson admitted he was sceptical about sparring Jake Paul at first – but was won over in the ring. Dawson, who won the light-heavyweight title three times, has spent his second successive training camp with Paul in Puerto Rico.
      Former world champion Chad Dawson with Jake Paul
      He was first employed before the YouTuber-turned boxer signed to fight switch-hitting heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr in August.
      And Dawson, 40, wanted to find out first-hand if the hype was real about Paul, who is 5-0 with four knockouts.
      He told Yahoo Sports: “When I initially got the call to come work with him, I was kind of iffy.
      “I wasn’t sure if it was just a publicity stunt, and when I thought about it, I was like, ‘Ah, I don’t know.’

      “But I have to admit, I was curious.”
      When Paul’s fight with Rahman was cancelled amid a weight row, he instead lined up Anderson Silva for his return, this weekend in Arizona.
      Dawson, a southpaw like Silva, was one of the American’s chief sparring partners for this camp and was left convinced.
      He said: “I’ve been impressed. I’ve been very impressed, and I was shocked at his work ethic and his general ring knowledge.

      “He moves like he’s been boxing for well over two or three years. And he’s thinking in there, too.”
      Paul, 25, last boxed in December, knocking out Tyron Woodley, 40, four months after beating the ex-UFC champion on points.

      But Silva, 47, will be his first opponent with a recognised boxing record, with four wins and one loss in the ring.
      Paul’s trainer BJ Flores believes it will be their coming out party, having continued to develop in dress rehearsals in the gym.
      Flores said: “I’d say he is a prospect and someone to definitely watch out for.

      But that’s not the only amazing motor Paul, who will square up to MMA fighter Ben Askren on Saturday, has in the garage of his Los Angeles mansion.
      Here’s his fine collection of cars in full.
      LAMBORGHINI HURACAN, £165,000
      In 2018, Paul, 25, treated himself to a flashy supercar.
      And his bright blue Lamborghini Huracan Performante really is the most lavish thing he’s been seen behind the wheel of.

      Although he had to wait six months to get his hands on one, when it arrived the social media influencer declared it his ‘dream car’ and shot a video revealing his ’emotion’ that driving a Lambo was about to become a reality.
      Performance-wise, when Paul took it for a spin, he wouldn’t have been disappointed either.
      Boasting 631bhp, it’s capable of reaching 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 212mph.

      And the wealthier ones are now swapping their Toyota Prius for a much-more stylish Tesla Model X.
      Paul, said to be worth £26million, got his custom-wrapped by West Coast Customs Design – who famously looked after a host of celebs on MTV’s Pimp My Ride.
      The one-of-a-kind car also has carbon accents and sandblasted details, meaning it stands out from the crowd.

      ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM, £360,000
      It’s not all fast or eco-friendly cars for Jake.
      The internet personality has also been seen showing off a classic Rolls-Royce Phantom in white.
      It was a make he was first seen driving back in 2018 alongside brother Logan, when the pair appeared at a celeb bash in a gold Ghost model.
      Smitten by the luxury of it, Jake added a £360,000 Phantom to his collection. And why not.

      TOYOTA TACOMA, £40,000
      Nothing beats going off-road.
      That’s why Paul also has a sturdy SUV in his Toyota Tacoma in white that would’ve cost him around £40,000.
      A standard Tacoma boasts a 2.7-liter I-4 engine producing 159 HP and 180 lb-ft of torque.
      Judging by his Instagram, it’s Paul’s go-to motor when he wants to have some fun.

      FORD FOCUS RS, FROM £22,000
      After he scored success with West Coast Customs Design with his Model X, Jake returned with his cherished Ford Focus RS.
      Originally, he had it wrapped in black. But he wanted a change – and what he got was something completely different.
      It really is a showstopper and even has his name inscribed on the Continental tyres that were fitted new.
      Because of its colours, he nicknames the car ‘Rainbro’.

      Continuing his love of trucks, Paul has also been spied behind the wheel of a Dodge Ram 1500.
      The all-American SUV is reasonably priced with a starting price of just £40,000 – and the boxing star made sure he got the Black Ops model, inspired by the American Armed Services.
