      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      The celebrity fighters have TWICE signed for a grudge match but both times Tommy was withdrawn.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’

      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.

      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.

      ‘If KSI wants to volunteer for his own death, I won’t say no’ – Jake Paul open to fight against YouTube rival

      by

      JAKE PAUL has opened the door to fighting KSI… as long as his boxing rival wants to “volunteer for his own death”. Paul is desperate to avenge the win KSI recorded over his brother Logan in their 2019 rematch.

      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.”

      Jake Paul challenges brother Logan and nemesis KSI to Arsenal vs Liverpool bet ahead of Premier League clash

      And ahead of the game, YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul has called out Arsenal sponsors Logan and KSI for a bet.
      He said: “The world is a betr place when Liverpool wins and Mo Salah is doing what Mo Salah always been doing. Scoring.
      “Sunday at Arsenal is going to be a cracker. Maybe Logan and his junior partner in PRIME want to put on a little bet.”
      His refusal to name KSI likely comes as a thinly-veiled dig at the multi-faceted Brit, who he has previously exchanged less than friendly words with on social media.

      However, thus far there has been no response from the Sidemen Charity Match star.
      Lifelong Gooner KSI struck up a partnership with former rival Logan in a business venture for hydration drink PRIME, with The Gunners having the exclusive rights to sell the drink in their stadium.
      Arsenal will be hoping to extend their lead at the top of the table by beating Jurgen Klopp’s side, while Liverpool will be equally as determined given their poor start to the season.
      The gap between the two sides currently sits at 11 points, meaning a win for either side could simultaneously reignite or implode the respective team’s title hopes.

      Meanwhile, ahead of his fight against MMA icon Anderson Silva, Paul shared images of his warm weather training camp in Dorado, Puerto Rico to his Instagram.
      Speaking exclusively with SunSport, Paul opened up the door for a fight with Tommy Fury for the final time following his Silva bout which is set on take place in Arizona, United States, on October 29.
      But Paul was brutally labelled as an “average” fighter by Eddie Hearn during a Q&A session alongside the promoter, who is desperately trying to sort a deal out for the Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn fight to go ahead. More

      Eddie Hearn calls YouTuber Jake Paul ‘average’ while rating YouTuber as a boxer – but insists he is ‘complimenting’ him

      by

      BOXING promoter Eddie Hearn gave a brutally honest assessment of the skills of YouTube personality Jake Paul.Hearn labelled Paul’s ability as “average” during a Q&A – but insisted he was complimenting him.

      The pair sat down for an interview with DAZN back in May amid the Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano fight and straight away it descended into chaos as Paul took offence to Hearn’s jab.
      Hearn started the interview by saying: “He fought AnEsonGib who was terrible on the night and Jake looked pretty average cause Gib was terrible as well.”
      Paul rebuked this, suggesting his ability could not be properly judged due to the fight lasting such a short amount of time.
      After a swift back and forth the promoter responded once again: “That’s true, that’s true. I don’t know where you might go. I just give you where I think you’re at which I’m entitled to, which is average.”

      He then delivered the killer line: “average is very complimentary.”
      This follows on from Hearn declaring Paul would never win a world title in boxing.
      Paul’s YouTube channel currently sits at 20.4 million subscribers, but switched the YouTube scene in favour of boxing in 2018.
      His first fight was on the undercard of the KSI vs Logan Paul bout, which attracted over 2.25 million live views.

      This fight was only a white-collar match, but a fifth round TKO gave Paul the green light to go pro in his next fight.
      His next fight saw him fight the aforementioned AnEsonGib – another YouTuber – and win via a first-round TKO.
      Since then he has won each of his pro fights, beating former MMA welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley in a rematch in December after Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy Fury pulled out. More
