      by

      Fury, 34, said in reaction: “Get up there @jakepaul. Man knows his stuff.”
      Paul, 25, revealed his list on his podcast and explained his decisions in a statement.
      He said: “First and foremost, Tyson Fury has just been so dominant in the heavyweight division for so long.
      “He beats every heavyweight by KO/TKO including Usyk and there hasn’t been a heavyweight in the history of the sport who hasn’t fallen off eventually and Tyson Fury has remained on top and I think he will retire on top.

      “However, what Usyk has done from cruiserweight to heavyweight has been impressive and his dominance, versatility, and boxing ability is second to none.”
      Paul’s mutual respect with Fury comes despite his feud with half-brother Tommy, 23.

      The boxing rivals have TWICE signed for a celebrity grudge match but both times Tommy was withdrawn.
      Firstly, he suffered a rib injury last December before running into US visa issues ahead of their rescheduled August date.

      It means Paul will have to cross enemy lines to get his hands on Fury, who recently FaceTimed with the YouTuber-turned-boxer.
      And they both agreed to see if three really is the lucky number and try for a hat-trick of times.
      Paul revealed: “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…”
      He added: “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.”

      Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, signed after Fury’s latest pullout but a weight row saw Paul scrap the fight.
      It leaves him still yet to face an opponent with prior professional boxing experience, but that changes on October 29.

      YouTuber Jake Paul messaged UFC star Conor McGregor on Instagram urging him to ‘take the fight pussy’ after $50m offer

      by

      JAKE PAUL continued his relentless pursuit of a boxing match with Conor McGregor by direct messaging the UFC superstar on Instagram.The YouTuber revealed his eagerness to take on McGregor a few days after scoring a sensational second-round KO victory over Nate Robinson on the undercard of Mike Tyson’s exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr last year.
      Jake Paul slid into Conor McGregor’s direct messages on Instagram
      Jake Paul launched a foul-mouthed tirade at Conor McGregor earlier this week
      And in summer 2021, the 25-year-old doubled down on his desire to box McGregor in a foul-mouthed tirade on Instagram, in which he claimed his team have sent the UFC’s poster boy a whopping £37million ($50million) offer.
      McGregor refrained from responding to the x-rated call-out, in which Paul made derogatory comments about the Irishman’s fiancee, Dee Devlin.
      And in another attempt to get the former two-division UFC champion’s attention Paul – whose older brother Logan stepped in the ring with Floyd Mayweather – sent a short and sweet direct message to The Notorious on Instagram.
      Paul’s message read: “Take the fight pussy.”
      Most read in Boxing
      After sharing his DM to McGregor, Paul launched a blistering rant at UFC president Dana White, who revealed he was willing to let women’s bantamweight and featherweight queen Amanda Nunes fight the former Disney star.
      He said: “Alright, Dana, let me try to understand your logic here: So you’re saying you don’t want me to fight Conor McGregor because he’s one of the greatest fighters in the world and I’m just like a YouTuber of whatever.
      “But then, in a statement today, you say: ‘Oh, I’m thinking about just having Amanda Nunes knock him out.’ But she’s also one of the greatest.
      “Dana, you seem to have this thing where you sort of hate on videogamers or YouTubers and influencers and us boxing and all this stuff.
      “But then, you spend half your time hanging out with the Nelk Boys. And I know why. It’s because they have hella influence over the male audience and you know that’s gonna promote the UFC.
      “And right now, baby, there’s nobody in this f***ing world who is promoting the UFC as much as me.
      Tens of millions of views, number one search result on Google when you type in Conor McGregor, when you type in UFC, when you type in Dana White. So you’re not making sense here.
      “Dana, I know the world doesn’t really know this because the UFC is this huge company. But we all know it’s not doing that well.

      “Anyone who is involved in WME and all the public stocks and everything that went south there, we know the company is not doing well. And I’m the biggest money fight you can do unless Khabib comes out of retirement.
      “So if you want the UFC to make the most amount of money, you better start to wake the f**k up and realise that Jake Paul vs Conor McGregor is going to happen at some point.”
      Paul’s rant at White came shortly after he ambushed McGregor’s team-mate Dillon Danis and pelted him with water balloons.
      Paul may very well be a combat sports novice, but he’s well and truly at the centre of the boxing and MMA worlds at this moment in time.

      But Tarver – who famously ended the reign of Roy Jones Jr – was not impressed by the performance.
      And he wants to fight the 25-year-old internet sensation and stop the new age of outsiders venturing into the ring.
      Tarver, 53, wrote on Instagram back in 2020: “I really want to kick @jakepaul ass for what he did to @naterobinson last night and rid boxing of these clowns once and for all.
      “He fought a complete novice so fighting me shouldn’t be a problem… @miketyson make this fight.”

      Tarver last fought in 2015 with a split-decision defeat against Steve Cunningham.
      He has been training Evander Holyfield, 59, helping the ex-heavyweight champion keep up his fitness.
      It inspired Tarver to think about lacing up the gloves again, with Jones’ trainer revealing the pair have unfinished business.
      Paul, on the other hand, is focussing on bringing MMA fighters over to boxing as he called out UFC star Conor McGregor and Dillon Danis.

      by

      The Filipino’s presence in the Far East fuelled speculation of a rematch with his great rival.
      But Mayweather hit back: “I retired from the sport, and I didn’t let the sport retire me.
      “I’m always going to put myself in a position now to where I, just like I was doing, fighting at the highest level. I was dictating and being in control.
      “I’m not going to go in there with no former fighters, former world champions, putting more abuse on my body. I retired for a reason.

      “I’m here to have fun and enjoy myself, sometimes three rounds, sometimes eight rounds, with guys that are going to help me entertain people.
      “I’m not going to take punishment to the point to where I can barely walk or barely talk.
      “Manny had a great career, but boxing retired Manny, Manny didn’t retire from boxing. There’s a difference.
      “Of course, if I were Manny Pacquiao, would I be chasing an exhibition with Floyd Mayweather to get a payday? Absolutely I would.

      “But at this particular time, I love fighting guys that are 15-0, 8-0, guys that are older, like myself, or YouTubers or MMA guys.
      “I will continue to do what I do and dictate and control.”
      Pacquiao, 43, retired last year after losing to Yordenis Ugas, 36.
      But following a failed presidential run in the Philippines, the eight-division champion is linked with a boxing return.
      He already has two exhibitions lined up, against DK Yoo in December and then with ex-sparring partner Jaber Zayani in February.
      Mayweather, 45, retired professionally in 2017 after beating UFC superstar Conor McGregor, 34.
      But he has had four exhibitions since, most recently against MMA featherweight Asakura, 30.
      He had faced kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, 24, YouTuber Logan Paul, 27, and former sparring partner Don Moore beforehand.
      And Mayweather is set to return on November 13 in Dubai, against YouTuber Deji, 25, brother to KSI, 28.

      One involved Jake’s brother Logan, 27, who took the boxing legend the eight-round distance in July 2021.

      And days later he announced another exhibition with YouTuber Deji, 25, on November 13 in Dubai.
      Paul, 25, slammed Mayweather and called to organise a catchweight bout between 165lb and 175lb.

      He said: “Floyd Mayweather is ruining his legacy fighting no-name guys, wasting his fans’ money, wasting his fans’ time.
      “He doesn’t even know the names of the guys he’s fighting, and then he chooses to fight Comedy Shorts Gamer (Deji), influencer, to make some money to pay his tax bills.
      “Floyd Mayweather telling Jake Paul that you will only fight Jake Paul if he comes down to his weight, 140 pounds or something.
      “I can’t believe what’s going on in the world. I can’t believe this is real.

      “Floyd, I will fight you, and you know that’s one of the biggest fights to make in boxing.
      “I weigh 175, you weigh 165. We can get that done, make a couple 100 million.”
      Mayweather offered Paul a shot at his 50-0 record but only if the YouTuber-turned boxer got down to his weight of 150lb.
      That would mean losing almost THREE STONE, causing the American to take a further swipe.
      Paul said: “What will your excuse be? You didn’t care what my brother weighed, so why do you care what I weigh?

      “Oh, because you know, you know what’s going to happen. I want to say, ‘I got your 0.’ I don’t want to just say, ‘I got your hat.’ I got your 0.
      “But you’re going to find a way to dance around this. You’ve said, ‘Oh, once he fights a professional fighter, he’s going to get destroyed. It’ll be bad for him.’
      “Why not let that be you – the best ever? There’s only one Mayweather, but he’s scared to fight Jake Paul.

      “Prime drinks are now a banned item. DO NOT bring them into school.
      “They will be confiscated if found or seen, and you will be sanctioned with a -3.
