      by

      HASIM RAHMAN JR has made a U-turn by backing KSI to beat Jake Paul having trained with BOTH YouTube stars. Rahman, a former sparring partner of Paul’s, previously predicted the American would knock out KSI.

      But after linking up with the British celebrity and training alongside him, his opinion has been drastically changed.
      Rahman, 31, told iFL TV: “I thought KSI was terrible, I thought he was not very good.
      “But I came out here and I’ve seen what he’s working on and how he’s working, man KSI’s work rate is severely underrated, severely underrated.
      “And I think if he keeps working hard, by the time he gets to a Jake fight, I just think he wins.
      “I think his engine is a lot better than the engine Jake has.Jake fights at a slow pace – I mean Jake’s fights put me to sleep – he’s incredibly boring.

      “On the contrary KSI, he fights at a fast pace, a high level, he’s always bringing it.
      “He fights with more passion than what Jake fight with and I give him the edge to him.”
      Rahman signed to fight Paul, 25, on late notice in August after Tommy Fury, 23, was pulled out of his grudge match due to a visa issue.
      But a weight disagreement forced the bout to be axed with just a week to go, as Paul now prepares to fight UFC icon Anderson Silva, 47, next.

      Rahman has since signed with KSI’s manager Mams Taylor and returns on November 19 against ex-UFC champion Vitor Belfort, 45.
      Meanwhile, KSI, 29, wants to fight Paul next year after he won TWICE in one night in August when making his boxing comeback.
      And he will have the help of Rahman if he does get a deal over the line with his arch nemesis.
      Rahman said: “If they fight, I’m going to be there 100 per cent of the way, giving him any pointers I can give him, letting him know anything I see. Just taking care of business.”

      by

      Mayweather, 45, is undefeated in three exhibitions with his most recent victory coming against Mikuru Asakura at the end of last month.
      The 50-0 champion also has experience fighting a YouTuber after drawing with Logan Paul in a June 2021 non-scored exhibition.
      Deji, by contrast, is venturing into new territory by taking on arguably the greatest boxer of all time.
      The 25-year-old has just one professional fight on his record, a win against YouTuber Yousef Erakat, aka Fousey.

      But he has lost all three of his exhibition fights to date including one against Logan’s brother Jake Paul, who is keen on fighting Conor McGregor.
      Despite that, Deji’s boxing coach Daley Perales believes he has a chance after “spotting holes” in Mayweather’s game.
      He said: “Deji’s got better feet, better movement [than Asakura]. So a very smart game plan is needed.
      “You have to be very cute how you go about things and I’ve seen holes in his game because, yeah, he’s getting older now.

      “Against that Japanese guy on the weekend he got hit with a big right hook that sent his head back, a jab that snapped him back and he looked a bit uncomfortable on the ropes.”
      Deji faces a gargantuan task against The Money, who boasts 15 world titles and an undefeated record.
      He has made more than £900m in the ring, while Deji instead spent years making Youtube videos – amassing a small fortune of around £4.5m.
      Physically there is not much to separate the two fighters although Deji is heavier than Mayweather and an inch taller.
      The American is 20 years older than Deji but boasts a better reach and has only been knocked down once in his entire career.
      Deji is a huge underdog but will be determined to prove himself with Mayweather even unsure of his opponent’s name even after the fight was agreed.

      Mayweather confirmed the bout saying: “I got one with the guy Deji – I want to make sure that his name is right – Deji, right?
      “Yes, Deji. We will be doing an exhibition in Dubai at the Coca-Cola Arena and that is in November.” More

      Jake Paul says Conor McGregor is his biggest fight over Floyd Mayweather or Mike Tyson but NOT the one ‘everybody wants’

      by

      JAKE PAUL named Conor McGregor as his biggest money fight… but NOT the one that “everybody wants.” The YouTuber-turned prizefighter has made it his mission to call out the biggest stars in the fight game, of both the past and present.

      Ex-UFC champion McGregor is joined by Floyd Mayweather and even Mike Tyson in Paul’s fantasy hitlist.
      And it is the Irishman who he believes would bring in the most pay-per-views, tickets sales and ultimately dollars.
      Paul, 25, told SunSport: “I think the biggest fight there is McGregor.
      “Just because the press conferences would be off the charts. And from a boxing perspective it’s a very high-level bout.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “I don’t think Floyd would fight me in an actual bout, which would decrease interest.
      “Mike Tyson is older, it’s obviously still huge but that’s why I think McGregor is the biggest name there, for sure.”
      McGregor, 34, lost his one and only pro boxing bout in 2017, against Mayweather, 45, with rematch talks still persisting.
      Tyson, 56, returned to the ring in a 2020 exhibition with fellow legend Roy Jones Jr, 53, but looks likely to keep his gloves hung up.

      Paul expects a major payday against any of the iconic trio but he has gone on record to say he will fight arch rival KSI for FREE.
      The British YouTuber beat his brother Logan, 27, in 2019 a year after they drew in a white collar bout in Manchester.
      KSI, 29, has since returned to the ring, winning two farcical fights in one night in August.
      And Paul believes a grudge match to settle the score simply must happen with fans demanding it more than ever.
      He said: “I think the KSI story needs an ending, it just keeps continuing and it’s right there.
      “And that’s the one that everybody wants. I would also avenge my brother’s loss.” 
      Paul faces UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in his October 29 return in Arizona, live on Showtime PPV.

      The Brazilian will also be his first opponent with a prior boxing record, following four wins and only one loss in the ring.
      Meanwhile, KSI revealed he will return in January in America, although an opponent remains unconfirmed.

      Since then, he has been called out by KSI, who returned to the ring in August beating rapper Swarmz and boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda in one night.
      And Fury has offered to give YouTube rivals Paul and KSI the same back-to-back treatment.
      He told SecondsOut: “I’ve said all along I’d fight the both of them on the same night.
      “Like KSI done with the two people the other day, the rapper and whatever that was, I will do the same with Jake Paul and him on the same night.

      “When they finally get in the ring with me, I cannot wait to show everybody that what I was saying all along is true, it isn’t a fight for me.
      “If you’re going to ask me to fight a YouTuber, KSI, who plays Fifa on the internet for a living and Jake Paul who does whatever he does, sign me up, not a problem.
      “He’s very lucky that them fights haven’t come off yet. I don’t know what the other one KSI is mentioning my name for because he’s even worse than Jake Paul, so I don’t really know what’s going on.
      “Two fools that need shutting up, so let me tend to my actual business first against actual fighting men and then I will happily get them out of boxing.”

      Kruse, now of Wolfsburg, runs a YouTube channel with Dilara.
      The couple used the platform to explain their recent ordeal – and how Max initially didn’t believe it to be true.
      Recounting what happened, Dilara said: “First I went shopping and then to the lawyer and then the car was gone.”
      Kruse then butted in: “You often think the car is gone.

      “You’ve been looking for the car for two hours because you just parked down the street, so I thought, come on, I was very tired, the car will be back in an hour.”
      But Dilara insisted it had vanished, with Kruse adding: “Then I said: ‘Okay, I’ll come there with my scooter’, then the car was really gone.”
      Dilara continued: “Then I went completely crazy. My nerves were gone, I cried.”
      Attempting to make his wife feel better, the striker said: “Come on dear, it’s not that bad, it happened, it’s insured.

      “The main thing is that we’re fine.”
      Explaining the extent of the damage when the car did eventually turn up two streets away 48 hours later, Kruse added: “They copied the key. Then they have automatic access.
      “They broke the window from the inside. The seats need to be replaced.”
      According to Capology, Kruse pockets £64,000 a week in Germany.
      The 34-year-old is a self-confessed petrolhead – and even runs his own racing team.
      Speaking about how he balances his Max Kruse Racing team with his football career, he said last year: “Training is three to four hours a day. So if you leave the house at 9am you are back by the afternoon.
      “My clubs always know about what I’m doing outside of football and talked about it when I had my first meetings with them.
      “Of course football is my passion and my job, but I also have to do some things on the side. I have my racing team, I like poker. They knew what was coming when they signed me.
      “If you can win you can do whatever you want. My performances were always good so I’ve never had problems with my team-mates or manager or anything.

      “I try to go to my team’s races whenever I can, though I cannot be there all three days of a race weekend as I usually play on a weekend.
      “I know after my career I will do something with racing and sit behind the wheel, I’m 100 per cent sure.”

      Tyson Fury sends Jake Paul supportive message despite Love Island brother Tommy’s feud with YouTuber

      by

      JAKE PAUL revealed Tyson Fury sent him a message of support – despite his ongoing feud with brother Tommy. The YouTuber-turned fighter named Fury as his No1 best boxer in the world.
      Jake Paul revealed Tyson Fury sent him a message of support
      Paul said on his podcast: “My top ten pound-for-pound list has caused some commotion in boxing.
      “But the man himself, Tyson Fury backed what I had to say and then sent me this message.”
      Fury, 34, can be heard saying: “Jakey get up there Jake Paul.”
      Paul, 25, then cuts off the rest of the private message but aimed a dig at boxing rival Tommy, 25, in the process.

      He said: “We’re secretly friends, sorry Tommy. I think me and Tyson have a special bond. I really love that guy.”
      The celebrity fighters have TWICE signed for a grudge match but both times Tommy was withdrawn.
      An injured rib last December and US visa issues this August saw the 2019 Love Islander pulled out of the pay-per-view paydays.
      And Tommy’s hopes of rescheduling for a third time were dashed after Paul signed to face UFC legend on October 29.

      But in the meantime, opposing camps have held talks to finally get the fight done, which would be one final effort.
      Paul told SunSport: “This is his last chance, last chance for Tommy.
      “And I’m still not sure if we’ll really run that, it’s just an idea, our teams are talking. But there might be bigger fights. 
      “When I beat Anderson Silva, a lot more people are going to want to fight me, so there might be bigger names out there and more interesting opportunities. 
      “It could happen and if it does I’m happy to come to the UK.”

      Tommy Fury could ‘easily’ beat Jake Paul says Ahmed Elbiali, who sparred YouTuber but says it’s ‘still a great fight’

      by

      TOMMY FURY has been tipped to beat Jake Paul ‘easily’ by Ahmed Elbiali, who sparred the YouTuber. Fury, the younger half-brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, has seen two fights cancelled at the final hour.
      Tommy Fury will finally fight Jake Paul in February, according to repotsCredit: Instagram
      YouTuber Jake Paul is unbeaten in his boxing career
      The Brit – who pulled out of their December showdown due to illness and injury – was then scheduled to have another bout in August, but that too got called off.
      However, now it appears they will finally get in the ring in February, as per Paul.
      On his BS w/ Jake Paul podcast, the 25-year-old social media star told said: ‘Had a call with Tommy Fury. Yeah, they’re saying we’re going to fight in February.
      “I think he actually can’t come into the United States. So if I fight him in the UK, I think parts of it are shady, I don’t think we’re getting the full truth on everything, but regardless, it’s a great matchup and I really want to knock him out.”

      Now, light-heavyweight contender Elbiali predicts Fury would be a sound winner when they come to blows.
      Elbiali, 32, told SunSport: “Fury, I think would beat him, hands down, easily.
      “But at the same time it’s still a great fight for Jake, because Tommy hasn’t fought anybody.
      “Tommy is still new to the game, and you also tend to lower yourself to your opponent. Knowing he’s fighting Jake Paul, he might lower his standards slightly.”
      Most read in Boxing
      Elbiali, who has 18 knockouts in his 22 wins, sparred Paul, 25, once before the social media sensation left ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 38, out cold.
      He got a phone call from a friend just after he had finished a morning workout, and while he was in a Nike store shopping.
      The Egyptian-born boxer admitted to pulling his punches against Paul, who only made his pro debut last year off the back of a scrappy white collar bout in England in 2018.
      But still Elbiali sees the passion and potential in Paul, which came as he ignored calls from his pals to needlessly wipe out the internet phenomenon.
      Elbiali said: “He’s a hardworking dude, he seems passionate about boxing and he carries some power. Is he green? Yeah, he’s very green.
      “I did hold back because I had to, and I’m not that type of guy. I had friends telling me, ‘You should have lit him the f*** up’ but it’s like bro, it’s all good.
      “I lit him up in different ways. I lit him up without punching him, I tried to exhaust him, made him miss, hit him to the body.
      “Jake’s a smart dude, he’s pretty smart in the boxing ring too.”
      Elbiali did not receive a call back to spar with Paul again in the build up to his third pro fight – his win over retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren.

      But first he returns against UFC legend Anderson Silva on October 29 in his biggest test to date.
      Paul believes is sets up even greater nights ahead, but is happy to go over old ground with his greatest of enemies.
      He told MMA Fighting: “This opens the floodgates to a lot of competition, a lot of call outs, a lot bigger fights. It’s exciting.
      “However, if someone’s talking s***, at the end of the day, and I can step in there and knock them out and make a ton of money, like you said it’s prize fighting, so if KSI wants to volunteer for his own death, I’m not going to be the one to tell him no.”

      KSI, 29, drew with Paul’s brother Logan, 27, in 2018 but won their rematch in the professional ranks a year later.
      The British YouTube, rap and crossover boxing star then returned after three years out in August.
      And he made up for lost time by farcically beating rapper Swarmz, 25, and so-called pro boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23, on the same night.
      Paul, 25, said: “He fought ‘two guys in one night.’ It was the cheesiest, stupidest thing. It was such a waste of everyone’s time and money.

      “I have a responsibility to my fans to put on really big fights that are wars with really good matchups and that’s what I’m going to continue to do.”
      KSI revealed he plans to return in January, continuing to build on a future grudge match with Paul.
      The American himself has had a period of time on the sidelines after Tommy Fury, 23, and Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, pulled out of fighting in August.
      Paul faces his first opponent with prior boxing experience in UFC legend Silva, 47, who also has a 4-1 record in the ring.
      It follows from wins over KSI’s friend “AnEsonGib”, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 38, as well as former UFC pair Ben Askren, 38, and Tyron Woodley, 40.
      Paul said: “My level of opposition will just continue to raise.
      “That’s what I’ve done throughout my career, in each fight it gets harder and harder and harder and I encounter a new test and that’s what I have to do.
      “No one’s going to tune into my fights if I’m fighting someone they think I’m just going to beat. I don’t want to put on fights like that.”
