    Jake Paul says Dillon Danis is ‘butt-hurt’ because YouTuber ‘hooked up with his girlfriend’ as he vows to KO MMA star

    JAKE PAUL has claimed that Dillon Danis is ‘butt-hurt’ because he hooked up with the Bellator star’s girlfriend, Savannah Montano.
    YouTube sensation Paul is searching for his next opponent, having moved to 2-0 after knocking out ex-NBA player Nate Robinson in November.

    UFC superstar Amanda Nunes has revealed that she’d be willing to crossover to boxing to fight Paul.
    Yet the internet star shot down that idea and claimed he’s set his sights on facing Conor McGregor’s team-mate Danis.
    When asked about fighting two-weight champion Nunes, Paul told TMZ Sports: “Nah, I wouldn’t fight her.
    “Waste of time. No one knows who she is.

    “There’s not a lot of hype there. Plus, there’s no history.
    “I wanna knock out Dilon because we’ve been talkin’ s**t back and forth for 2 years, I’ve hooked up with his girlfriend, he’s all butt-hurt about it, there’s history there.”

    Paul later revealed that fighting Danis Danis is his fastest ticket to a future “dream fight” with Conor McGregor.
    The 23-year-old – who recently ambushed Danis, 27, and pelted him with water balloons – leaked a $500,000 offer to fight the MMA ace in March.

    And Paul escalated their feud by FaceTiming the Bellator star’s girlfriend, Savannah Montano last week.
    Instagram model Montano was left furious by the stunt and subsequently launched a scathing attack on him after footage of the call was made public.

    She said: “I’m dead confused at some of you guys going, ‘Oh, but why did you answer his call?’
    “As if I have his f**king number saved in my phone! It was literally a random number. You can literally see in the video, I’m like, ‘Who is this?’
    “And as soon as I see his face I’m, like, ‘Eww, what the f? Like, stop, stop, stop, I’m literally f’ing nauseous, like, I’m gonna go throw up right now, like, ugh.'”

    Who is KSI, what is the YouTuber’s net worth and what happened in Logan Paul rematch?

    YOUTUBE sensation KSI continues to grow on and away from the video-sharing site.
    The Londoner – who has nearly 22m subscribers on YouTube – was part of a boxing double header against fellow online star Logan Paul, and is also enjoying success in the music industry.

    Who is KSI and what is his real name?

    KSI was born June 19, 1993, and is an English YouTube personality, rapper, comedian and actor.
    The 27-year-old’s real name is Olajide William “JJ” Olatunji.
    He attended the independent Berkhamsted School alongside future Sideman member and YouTube collaborator Simon Minter, better known as Miniminter.
    KSI – which stands for knowledge, strength, integrity – first arrived on the YouTube scene in 2009, originally posting videos about video games.

    How did KSI become famous?
    Since 2009, KSI’s channel has reached over five billion video views with 21.9million subscribers. He also earned an NME Award for Vlogger of the Year in 2016.
    In addition to his YouTube career, the 27-year-old has released four EPs as a rapper, two of which have topped the UK R&B Albums Chart.
    In 2015, he was ranked as the UK’s most influential YouTube creator, with his brother Deji, otherwise known by his handle Comedy Shorts Gamer, ranking second.
    In 2016, he made his feature film debut in the comedy Laid in America alongside fellow YouTube star Casper Lee.

    He was also a founding member of the online group The Sidemen, which are the product of seven British YouTubers. In 2018, they launched their own premium web TV series.
    However, he was the centre of controversy in 2012 after a Eurogamer event due to supposed sexual harassment of attendees.
    Microsoft cut ties with him and he was banned for life from the expo.
    He addressed the controversy in his 2015 autobiography, entitled KSI: I Am A B*****d.
    Since his two boxing fights against Logan Paul, KSI has focused more on his musical career, including releasing Really Love with Craig David and Digital Farm Animals in October 2020.
    What happened during his boxing match against Logan Paul?
    In the first fight between the pair, the judges announced a majority draw for their boxing match on August 25, 2018.
    The judges scored it: 57-58 in favour of KSI, 57-57, 57-57.
    That set the stage for a rematch, this time as an official pro fight with no headguards, 10oz gloves and six three-minute rounds.
    After plenty of talk about knockouts from both camps, it was left to the judges at the Staples Center on November 9, 2019.
    And it was the Brit who came out on top, winning by a split decision with his fellow YouTuber Logan Paul docked two points for hitting KSI while he was on the canvas.

    What is KSI’s net worth?
    KSI has a net worth estimated at around £16m.
    In an interview, he claimed to own 10 properties in the UK worth around £10m.
    He has amassed over five billion views on YouTube.

    Jake Paul vs Logan Paul tale of the tape: How YouTubers turned boxing stars compare as both plot huge 2021 fights

    LOGAN PAUL and little brother Jake have both been making headlines in recent weeks, but not for their social media presence.
    The siblings have recently tried their hand at boxing, both getting their ‘careers’ underway in 2018.

    How Logan Paul and little brother Jake compare

    Logan kickstarted the move from YouTube stardom into the ring.
    The elder of the Paul brothers was challenged by British YouTuber KSI to an amateur fight.
    The pair met in the ring, as BOTH of their younger brothers – Jake and Deji – went toe-to-toe on the undercard.
    Logan, 25, drew his fight with KSI, as Jake won his fight via TKO.

    They both caught the bug and decided to turn professional, with Logan losing his pro debut to KSI in 2019.
    Little brother Jake, 23, has fought TWICE professionally, winning both – most-recently beating former NBA star Nate Robinson.
    Earlier this week, Logan called his younger sibling ‘f***ing dumb’ for his outrageous, X-rated attack on Conor McGregor.
    Jake branded McGregor an ‘Irish c***’ and even took a swipe at Notorious’ fiancee, Dee Devlin.

    How Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul compare ahead of their fight

    The younger Paul brother also claimed to have sent McGregor a £35million fight offer.
    Logan will face Mayweather next February, in what is billed as a ‘special exhibition fight’.
    But Logan believes he is being smarter by taking on the 50-0 veteran, 43, than his brother for wanting to take on 32-year-old McGregor.
    The big brother said: “I love Jake, obviously, but this one is f***ing dumb.
    “Sorry, sorry, this one is f***ing dumb, dude.
    “McGregor is a southpaw, he’s bigger than Floyd Mayweather, he’s younger than Floyd Mayweather.
    “He’s way [more] active. I understand what you’re saying, so did everyone else, but he’s just a precision striker, knockout artist.
    “Floyd is not. He’s just not. He’s older, everyday he gets older, everyday I get better.”

    But after hitting out at his sibling, how would the pair stack up together in the ring?
    Logan is 0-1 in his professional career, while Jake – two inches shorter and one pound lighter – is 2-0, with both coming via either KO or TKO.
    As well as being physically bigger, Logan also boasts more social media followers on YouTube, Instagram and Twitter by a combined seven million.
    But for now, Logan will have his eyes focused on Mayweather, while Jake continues his bid to take on McGregor.

    KSI, 27, bizarrely claims he could beat Mike Tyson, 54, in fight… and so could Logan Paul

    YOUTUBE boxing star KSI has stunned fans with his bizarre claim that he could beat Mike Tyson in a fight.
    The 27-year-old won via split decision on his professional boxing debut last year against fellow online star Logan Paul.

    The YouTube star fancies his chances at beating Mike Tyson ahead of Iron Mike’s return to the ring

    The Brit fought the American to a draw in their first meeting, while KSI also beat YouTuber Joe Weller in a 2018 amateur bout.
    Iron Mike meanwhile is making a comeback in an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr on November 28 after 15 years of retirement.
    The former heavyweight champion last stepped inside the ring in June 2005 – where he was stopped by Kevin McBride.
    The “Baddest Man on the Planet” was crowned the youngest world champion ever, aged 20, and his illustrious 20-year career saw him knock out 44 of his 50 opponents.

    I actually could though, I actually could. The reason why – age is on my side. Age is on my side. In the first few rounds I ain’t going [all out]
    KSI on Mike Tyson

    But despite their vastly different careers and experience, KSI reckons he could hang with the now 54-year-old Tyson in the ring.
    Speaking in the latest Sidemen video, he answered: “I actually could (beat him) though, I actually could.
    “I’m undefeated, no-one has beaten me.”
    KSI’s YouTuber pals reacted with uproar at his statement before asking the Londoner how his former rival Logan Paul would fare against Tyson.

    KSI replied: “I think Logan would beat Mike Tyson.”
    When pushed to justify his reasoning, he said: “The reason why – age is on my side. Age is on my side.
    “In the first few rounds I ain’t going [all out].”
    KSI later revealed that his coach – highly rated cruiserweight prospect Viddal Riley – texted to say he wouldn’t last against Tyson.
    He joked: “Viddal said, ‘Nah, man.’
    “He said, ‘You’d have to survive three rounds of three minutes, then possibly.’”
    Fans on social media were less forgiving of KSI’s prospects, with one tweeting: “I hope he is joking about mike tyson cause that’s just ridiculous.”

    Another said: “Mike Tyson 100 years old, on a walking stick dismantles KSI with one hand.”
    A third added: “Sidemen’s recent video has KSI saying — with quite a lot of confidence — he can beat Mike Tyson in a bout. I think I’ve consumed too much internet for the day.”
    A fourth reasoned: “Did Mike Tyson ever beat anyone on the level of a Prime Logan Paul? KSI would wipe him out now tbh.”

    Bob Arum slams Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul fight and claims boxing legend would win bout if he was 100 years old

    FLOYD MAYWEATHER would still beat Logan Paul if he was ‘100 years old’, according to legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum.
    It has been reported that Mayweather is in talks for an exhibition fight against YouTuber Paul.

    And while inevitably there would be millions on offer to the pair, the prospect of seeing one of boxing’s best ever fight a social media star has been blasted by many.
    This includes Arum, who is Tyson Fury’s US promoter.
    Speaking to iFL TV, the 88-year-old was scathing about the prospect of the two lacing up gloves to fight.
    Arum said: “Anybody who would pay five cents to watch that fight has to have his head examined.

    “Floyd Mayweather, probably if he was 100 years old, it would still be a fairly confident fight.”
    Another big name to have recently slammed the fight happening is fellow YouTuber KSI.
    And that’s because the Brit thinks Mayweather should fight him instead.
    KSI has twice fought Paul, drawing in their first meeting, before beating him last year when the pair turned professional.

    And KSI has stated it makes no sense for five-weight world champion Mayweather to return to the ring to face Paul.
    He insisted that it would make more sense for the 1996 Olympic bronze medallist to face him instead.
    Speaking on his second YouTube channel, KSI said: “This ain’t happening.
    “Why the f*** would Mayweather say yes to this? Why would he fight the loser of me and Logan?
    “I was A-side for both fights, surely Mayweather would just wanna fight the winner of me vs Logan, it just makes more sense.”

    But one former boxing two-weight world champion would be happy to see Mayweather and Paul going toe-to-toe.
    David Haye told Sky Sports the 39-year-old said: “I just think it’s fun, it gets people talking. I don’t mind seeing Floyd Mayweather fight YouTubers.
    “I wouldn’t want to see Mayweather fighting someone young, undefeated. Why? What’s the point?
    “They are younger and fresher, and Mayweather may have slowed down a fraction. He may lose.
    “I don’t mind Mayweather fighting, as long as it isn’t against someone who has a chance of winning.”
    Mayweather retired from the noble art undefeated in 50 fights, his last victory coming against UFC legend Conor McGregor in 2017.

    KSI slams Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul bout as YouTube star asks ‘why the f*** would he want to fight second best?’

    KSI has twice fought Paul, drawing in their first meeting, before beating him last year when the pair turned professional.
    And KSI has stated it makes no sense for five-weight world champion Mayweather to return to the ring to face Paul.
    He insisted that it would make more sense for the 1996 Olympic bronze medallist to face him instead.
    Speaking on his second YouTube channel, KSI said: “This ain’t happening.

    “Why the f*** would Mayweather say yes to this? Why would he fight the loser of me and Logan?
    “I was A-side for both fights, surely Mayweather would just wanna fight the winner of me vs Logan, it just makes more sense.
    “Also, Logan Paul can’t sell tickets like me. We all remember how well his ‘Challenger Games’ sold.

    “Whenever I do events like the Sidemen football match, we sell thousands of tickets.

    “I’m the bigger draw when it comes to boxing because I defeated the one who started it – Joe Weller – and defeated Logan Paul himself.
    “So why would Mayweather want to fight second best when he could just easily fight the best?”
    KSI’s former trainer Viddal Riley – who is promoted by Mayweather – confirmed Paul has held talks with ‘Money’ over a bout.
    But he insisted that Mayweather should fight the Arsenal fan ahead of the Maverick.
    He said: “One thing people are, you know, not seeming to understand, Floyd is fighting the loser of the situation.

    Troopz quits Arsenal Fan TV after months of controversy for YouTube channel following Claude sacking

    ARSENAL’S biggest departure of the summer has been announced in the form of AFTV mainstay Troopz.
    While fans are sweating over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s future, it is the club captain’s YouTuber pal who is leaving for pastures new.

    1

    Troopz is said to have a friendly relationship with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
    In an emotional post to his own channel on Tuesday, Troopz revealed: “I don’t even know how to start this video, it’s quarter past three in the morning.
    “I never thought I’d be doing this video but I’m leaving AFTV.
    “Four years of amazing times, making some great content, meeting some great people along the way.
    “I’m moving to New York, without a date at the moment but it will be in the next few weeks, and I’m going to be doing the same kind of stuff.
    “I’m gonna get a podcast, called Back Again With Troopz.”
    Troopz leaves AFTV with the channel in a curious position among the Gooner fanbase.
    Fans have chanted for the YouTube channel to be kicked out of the club and defender Hector Bellerin is also a critic.

    Many blame the pioneering channel, which was one of the first of its kind when launched in 2012 by DJ Robbie Lyle, for creating a sense of kneejerk anger around the team.

    Amassing a huge 1.23 million YouTube subscribers, many of its regulars have become stars in their own right.
    However, this has not been without controversy amid claims that certain members of the cast, including Troopz, had become too close to the first-team.
    Arsenal captain Aubameyang has been described as a pal of the pundit, leading to reports of a dressing room split.
    And AFTV was forced to sack popular Claude Callegari after a racist remark directed at Tottenham star Son Heung-min during July’s derby.
    Troopz has insisted that his departure was amicable.
    He explained: “It’s the opportunity of a lifetime, I can’t turn this down.

    How is he gonna convince Auba to stay if he can’t stay himself.

    “I don’t want people to think I’m selling out, I don’t want people to think there is beef between me and AFTV, me and Robbie.
    “It’s none of that, if anything I want to big up Robbie because Robbie was the one who gave me this opportunity.”
    He added: “I wish AFTV all the best and Robbie all the best in the future.”
    Fans online showed their support for Troopz in his next venture.

    One viewer wrote: “How is he gonna convince Auba to stay if he can’t stay himself.”
    Luis added: “This is the equivalent of Thierry Henry leaving us for Barcelona.”
    Twitter user Dean posted: “So wait all that agent Troopz work and you’re the one who ends up leaving, major plot twist! All the best mate enjoy NYC good luck with it.”
    While Kurtis commented: “2020 just keeps giving more and more heartbreaking moments…”
