But the beaten American – who did score a flash knockdown in the eighth and final round – has called for a rematch. Although BJ Flores – who parted ways with Paul following three years after the loss – told his former pupil to only do so if the cash is correct. Flores told SunSport ahead of Paul’s fight with Mike Tyson: “Tommy’s unreasonable with the money and he’s unreasonable with what he’s worth.READ MORE IN BOXING”So I don’t feel like it’s mandatory for Jake to fight Tommy again before anybody else. If it made sense business-wise, if not then no.”Tommy’s not gonna get an opportunity like that with anybody else in the world. Trust me, that’ll will never come Tommy’s way again.”So if he’s reasonable on the money and reasonable on the price, yeah, get the fight again.”But if he’s delusional with what he’s worth on the fight.

And instead the fight went to Tyson, 58, who makes his return after 20 YEARS out to complete a controversial comeback. The showdown, slammed for the huge age gap, will be contested over eight two-minute rounds with bigger 14oz gloves on. And Paul has talked up challenging Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez, 34, afterwards for the cruiserweight world championship. That is despite neither being ranked at 200lb at the NO world titles being vacant at the weight. Flores, a former cruiserweight contender himself, said: “I don’t like it for Jake. But you know, Jake’s got a mind of his own. “He’s going to do his own thing. But I mean, Canelo is one of the best pound for pound.

So I think it’s a little way off.”Canelo Alvarez has been called out by Jake PaulCredit: AP More

      ‘I don’t like it’, says Jake Paul’s ex-coach after YouTube star’s dramatic body transformation for Mike Tyson fight

      by

      JAKE PAUL has been warned by one of his ex-coaches that piling on the pounds to fight Mike Tyson could come back to haunt him. The YouTuber-turned-boxer faces the returning Tyson on Friday in Texas for a clash that has attracted controversy due to the age gap. Jake Paul has bulked up to heavyweightCredit: Esther Lin/ Most Valuable PromotionsIt will be Jake Paul’s biggest ever weightCredit: Esther Lin/ Most Valuable PromotionsHe is coming up from the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lbCredit: GettyNot only will it mark Netflix’s first move into live boxing but also Paul’s debut fight at heavyweight. He has boasted at weighing as much as 225lb (16 stone) which is almost TWO STONE heavier than his last bout at cruiserweight. BJ Flores – who spent three years as Paul’s head trainer – cast concern over the sudden jump up in weight. Flores told SunSport: “Sometimes you go where the money’s at and the opportunity was big for Jake to fight Mike on Netflix.READ MORE IN BOXING”Obviously at 225lb – that’s what they’re saying he’s weighing – that’s a little big for me.Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson predictions and betting tips”I like Jake at 200lb, fighting at 200 then going straight to 225, I don’t care who you’re fighting that’s a big jump, but there’s a lot of adjustments Jake’s gonna have to make.”Hopefully he’s made them in camp but once you get in there, you feel the weight, you do feel the extra weight when your last fight was at 200, now you’re at 225. It’s a big difference.”So that will be the interesting thing to watch with this fight. Mike is naturally walking around at 235/240. He’s used to that.Most read in BoxingJAKE PAUL VS MIKE TYSON: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE BOUTCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS”Jake’s not used to going from 200 to 225 though. And that’s going to be interesting to see how he deals with that if he’s made those adjustments in camp.”Jake Paul wears ROOSTER hat in open workout for Mike Tyson fightUnder Flores, Paul campaigned mainly at 190lb (13st 5lb) and even as light as 185 (13st 2lb). So he is expected to jump almost THREE STONE by the time he shares the ring with heavyweight great Tyson. But Paul has talked up a move down to cruiserweight straight after – where he set his sights on a lofty world title challenge. So Flores is warning ahead of time that his former pupil faces a fight to just to get the weight off first. He said: “I don’t like it. I think it’s tough to go up and go down in weight. I think it’s very hard on the body, especially at a young age.”We’ve seen guys try to do it before Chris Byrd. We’ve seen Roy Jones try to do it. “We’ve seen other guys, other fighters try to go up and then back down. It’s always been tough.”So I would advise Jake kind of staying up in weight, kind of keeping it up right there and not trying to drop back down to 200.”BJ Flores formerly trained Jake PaulCredit: Instagram More

      Mike Tyson nearly KOs his own trainer in open workout just days before Jake Paul fight… after making shock admission

Iron Mike bobbed, weaved and fired off blistering combinations like he was in his 1980s prime when he first won the belt aged 20. And MMA mastermind Rafael Cordeiro was the brave soul holding the pads and withstanding the power of boxing’s youngest heavyweight champion. On more than on occasion Tyson was a whisker away from laying out Cordeiro with a horrifying hook.
