    Floyd Mayweather, 45, offers Jake Paul fight and reveals terms to put perfect boxing record on line against YouTuber

    FLOYD MAYWEATHER has revealed his terms for a sensational “real fight” with Jake Paul. The boxing legend in June 2021 was taken the distance by Paul’s brother Logan in their eight-round exhibition.

    But the YouTuber-turned boxer ruled out facing Mayweather himself unless it was a sanctioned bout on their records.
    That would cause a sticking point with Paul last fighting at 190lb whereas his Hall of Fame rival was 150lb.
    Mayweather, 45, is open to putting his historic 50-0 record on the line against self-proclaimed “Problem Child”.
    But he warned Paul, 25, would have to come down to his weight, which means losing a near-impossible THREE STONE.

    Mayweather told TMZ Sports: “I think he was doing a sit down on a podcast one time and he talked about it and he said, ‘I don’t wanna do an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather.’
    “He said, ‘I want to put on real fights.’ And of course, I can’t get up high in weight, but I’ll fight him in a real fight, at the weight that I’m at.
    “But, Jake Paul, as of right now for what he’s doing, it’s good for what he’s doing. But once he fights an actual real fighter, it’s going to be bad.
    “But one thing I do like about him, he’s selling it and making good money, he’s entertaining. I like it.”

    Mayweather has not boxed professionally since 2017, when he beat UFC superstar Conor McGregor, 34, in ten rounds.
    He has since had three exhibitions, with featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, 24, Paul’s brother Logan, 27, and ex-sparring partner Don Moore.
    Mayweather returns over the weekend in Japan against MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura, 30.
    Meanwhile Paul faces UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in his comeback fight on October 29 in Arizona.
    Silva has a 4-1 record in the ring and will be the American’s first opponent with prior boxing experience.
    So far he has beaten online rival AnEsonGib, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 38, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 38.
    He also has a points win and knockout over ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 40, most recently in December.
    Mayweather has warned Paul to carry on facing opposition from the internet and MMA world opposed to seasoned boxers.

    He said: “As long as he continues to fight MMA guys and YouTubers, he’s going to continue to look good and to shine.
    “But once he fights a real fighter, a real fighter that can really fight, it’s not going to be good. It’s not going to be that good.”

    He wrote on Twitter: “He’s actually trash but looks good when playing against stinkers. I’m about to expose the fraud this Saturday.”

    KSI also claimed Beck will be in his back pocket during the game along with Theo Baker.
    The YouTuber-turned-boxer then focused his attention on another YouTube opponent – IShowSpeed.
    The American streamer is known for his huge love of Cristiano Ronaldo, but KSI thinks he is another fraud footballer.
    He added in a separate tweet: “This man is just pure trash, even against stinkers 😂😂.

    Roach told FightHype: “Tyson looked at him and left.
    “He saw 30 seconds of him sparring and said, ‘Freddie, can we go down and see the pictures?’
    “He knows that’s where the good pictures are. He wasn’t as interested as I was.”
    But the social media sensation-turned boxer claimed Roach made the entire story up, having never trained at the coach’s famed gym before.

    Paul, 25, said to talkSPORT: “First and foremost, I saw these things that Freddie Roach was saying – that I was like sparring at his gym.
    “First of all, I’ve never even trained at Wild Card gym, Freddie is a f***ing idiot, he’s a hater.
    “He coached Ben Askren to no avail, literally worthless, he’s off his rocker.
    “He literally trains zero good fighters anymore and is a Jake Paul hater.

    “Mike Tyson has never watched me spar, Mike Tyson has never been in the gym at the same time as me sparring.
    “I went to Wild Card like once to talk to somebody for a meeting and for my brother’s press conference there.
    “But Mike Tyson wasn’t anywhere in the vicinity, so it’s just Freddie Roach spreading rumours. Especially because me and Mike are friends man.
    “Mike wouldn’t do that, Mike wouldn’t be like, ‘Ah f*** this kid, let’s go and do something else.’
    “Mike respects me and I respect Mike, but it would be dope to fight. I’m down. It could be fun.”
    First of all, I’ve never even trained at Wild Card gym, Freddie is a f***ing idiot, he’s a hater.Jake Paul
    Tyson, 56, helped launch Paul’s boxing career with a spot on his undercard in 2020.
    At the time, the social media sensation had won his professional boxing debut by beating online rival “AnEsonGib” in one round.
    Tyson returned to the ring after 15 years out and drew with Roy Jones Jr, 53, in an exhibition bout.
    But Paul stole the show as he brutally knocked out ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, in two rounds.
