      Meet Brit boxing’s best social media star who coached in the Maldives and has Snoop Dogg and Sugar Ray Leonard as fans

      by

      DAN MORLEY – British boxing’s best social media star – is back with a bang.The 28-year-old Epsom welterweight clocked up a modest 8-0 record on the small-hall circuit between 2018 and 2022, to little fanfare.Dan Morley launched his comeback with a perfect liver shot knockoutCredit: RexMorley is now hoping to get a British title shotCredit: Boxing TunesThe 28-year-old coached out in the MaldivesCredit: Instagram @danmorleyboxingHe coached Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown during his time thereCredit: Instagram @danmorley97And a disillusionment with the frustrating sport, combined with the covid pandemic that crippled it, put him on the sidelines for two years and bedridden at mum’s house.In that time though, the self-taught video whizz started creating brilliant boxing clips and biographies on some of history’s greatest boxers.This has earned follows and friendships from superstars from Sugar Ray Leonard, to Carl Froch and even Jackass legend Johnny Knoxville and music legend Snoop Dogg.Morley’s TikTok and Instagram accounts grew to over 500,000 followers and he was invited to teach the sport he loves in paradise hotels in Switzerland and the MaldivesRead more BoxingAnd on July 6 the newly empowered puncher won his comeback with a beautiful body shot in the opening round and he already has another September date secured as promoters who previously overlooked him now chase his signature.The entrepreneur sat down with SunSport to explain his rapid rise from the obscurity of his barber’s chair to his mum’s spare sickbed to a couple of star-studded profiles.“I started during Covid when my barber told me to start a TikTok account,” he told SunSport.“I couldn’t be a**ed with it at first but then I started doing a few about myself and my training but that stuff doesn’t stand out and nothing happened.Most read in BoxingBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSMorley also spent time coaching and training in SwitzerlandCredit: Instagram @danmorley97Morley is ready to cause a ripple in the boxing world after conquering social mediaCredit: Boxing TunesEpsom welterweight Dan Morley is a TikTok and Instagram whizzCredit: Rex“But then I caught Covid and was in bed at my mum’s and I asked her if she thought people would be interested in the Cuban style of boxing.“She said ‘probably not’ but I did it anyway and it got about 250,000 views and then the TikTok grew.Brit boxer Dan Morley delivers stunning liver shot KOBoxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard is one of Morley’s social media followersCredit: GettyMusic legend Snoop Dogg is also a big Morley fanCredit: Reuters“Since then a few crazy things have happened, like a friendship with Johnny Knoxville, which is mad, Sugar Ray Leonard follows the account and Carl Froch has sent me messages. It’s amazing and a big confidence booster.“When I was first boxing these big names weren’t paying attention and now they are, for my boxing knowledge.”Too many boxing promoters and broadcasters flogged themselves to the social-media-influencer world at the start of the digital craze and we have seen some thoroughly dismal acts and ‘fights’.Thankfully the sport now seems to be pulling away from the fame-desperate circus act it helped kickstart around 2018 when Watford showman KSI danced with American entertainer Logan Paul in Manchester.But it means a bonafide throwback fighter and boxing fan like Morley has been cautious about using the platforms to boost his well-deserved popularity.Morley’s mum told him nobody would watch his Cuban boxing clip – then 250,000 didCredit: RexHe explained: “I was cautious because it is not my nature to sell-out or make a spectacle of myself.“I had a plan to build my following but I had to do it in the right way, which would benefit me but also help people.“I am not very good on phones, my friends get the hump when I take two days to reply to a message.“I am no good at technology but I taught myself all that and learned how to edit up to four good videos a day.“I had to learn how to clip things probably, merge things together but also learn how to not rip anybody else’s footage off.“In my 18 months out I did over 2,000 posts so I put the work in and have hopefully deserved the following.”Morley teaches boxing in stunning spots in Switzerland and Maldives but can’t switch offCredit: RexMorley’s accounts are must-follow content for fellow boxing nerds, sports fans and even history buffs.And he hopes that the modern tools at his disposal help him teach Generation Z about the incredible and criminally underrated men who paved the way for glitz-and-glamour version of the sport we see today.“I have read every book I can find and I am a proper nerd about it,” he laughed.“I want people to know that Harry Greb lost ONCE in 100 fights and went 45-0 in one year – all while being BLIND in one eye.“Some of these feats are so amazing.“Henry Armstrong won 59 of 61 fights in three years – through SEVEN weight divisions.“People rave about Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson – and rightly so because they are amazing fighters – but it wrongly feels like people think they are the only boxers who ever walked the earth.”I was cautious because it is not my nature to sell-out or make a spectacle of myself.Dan MorleyMorley now has a following that some British world champions would be proud of – or even have their PR people pay for.The pugilism media pioneer has a podcast and book ideas and has been wisely used by Wasserman to present some of their Channel 5 shows.So why on earth is he back in the back in the gym, punishing and starving himself, sparring hundreds of unpaid rounds and risking his life?“I love boxing,” he said. “I took a break from it and that told me how much I love it.“I have goals that I want to achieve, the social media stuff is all-well-and-good but I have not fulfilled my potential.READ MORE SUN STORIES“I built my social media in a way that allows me to do it as a passion, it doesn’t feel like a cringey way of doing things.“I have the followers that I needed and now I love it.”MORLEY AND THE MALDIVESBy Kealan HughesBRIT boxer brushed shoulders with ex-England rugby stars Jason Robinson and Ben Cohen, as well as fitness guru Joe Wicks.Morley even trained members of the Qatar royal family and a then 15-year-old Millie Bobby Brown of Stranger Things fame on the Maldives island of Huvafen Fushi where he stayed in hotel rooms costing £60,000 a night.Time away from the spotlight gave Morley a much-needed break both physically and mentally and he got his love back for boxing, sharing his knowledge first-hand and online.He quickly began to build his fanbase and now boasts 400,000 fans across his social media platforms, including Snoop Dogg, Sugar Ray Leonard and Johnny Knoxville, who recently appeared on his podcast.

      Inside Jake Paul’s training camp to fight Mike Perry where his power is so ‘crazy’ sparring partners have been sent home

      JAKE PAUL is punching so hard in training to fight Mike Perry that his sparring partners have been sent packing.The YouTuber-turned-prizefighter returns over the weekend in Florida against former UFC star and now bare-knuckle boxer Perry.Jake Paul and sparring partner Jake BostwickCredit: instagram @brutalbostwickBefore his boxing days, Jake Paul was a popular YouTuberCredit: instagram @jakepaulPaul was initially set to face Mike Tyson on the same date but in Texas – until the heavyweight icon pulled out amid a health precaution. The controversial fight—scrutinized for their 30-year age gap—has since been postponed to November 15.However, Paul – who last fought in March – decided to roll the dice and remain in the ring to keep his lucrative boxing career moving. It meant switching around his sparring partners, having assembled a team of shorter heavyweights to replicate 58-year-old Iron Mike.So Paul quickly called on an old friend and secret weapon ahead of his bout against Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship’s Perry. Brit Jake Bostwick – a bare-knuckle boxer himself – has been a regular in Paul’s previous training camps. So, when the opponent was switched to Perry, it was a no-brainer to transfer Bostwick to the Puerto Rico training base.And Bostwick revealed it has been a survival of the fittest in camp—but one he has stood the test of time for.Most read in Boxing”I come in because I give them good work. And honestly, I can survive,” he told SunSport. “Anyone else that comes out at the spar normally gets sent home with injuries or they just can’t hang. Real talk it really is like that.I was there for Jake Paul’s sparring session with Mike Perry and here is why their fight will not last long “Even a few days ago everyone else got sent home and it was just me and coaches like JLeon are like, ‘Jake bro, it’s always you that’s left.'”I was like, I’m soldiering on son.”Paul’s assistant coach J’Leon Love – a former 25–3–1 boxer – was the one who invited Bostwick back into camp. And Love, along with head trainer Theo Chambers, are the ones deciding which paid sparring partners stay or go.Bostwick revealed: “The coaches are sending people home if they’re not performing or they’re getting pieced up, they get sent home.”So you gotta be able to take some shots, give some shots and still give them a look, you know? And like I said, Jake’s never easy sparring.”And he’s firing on all cylinders, 16oz gloves, headgear or not it’s still a problem.”Paul first recruited Bostwick, 34, before the American knocked out former MMA champion Ben Askren, 39, in 2021.The coaches are sending people home if they’re not performing or they’re getting pieced up, they get sent home.Jake Paul’s sparring partner Jake Bostwick The same year, they also sparred before Paul’s pair of wins over ex-UFC champ Tyron Woodley, 42, on points and then KO. Around the same time, Perry, 32, also sparred Paul, 27, in a session that has been widely disputed in the lead-up to their boxing bout.However, Bostwick insisted Perry is in for a rude awakening if he is banking on Paul being the same boxer as he was all those years ago.He said: “His power is crazy, bro. “Every time we spar, I’m just like, I hope you don’t catch me with something, he does punch hard, he really, really does.”He’s definitely got significantly better, his movement, everything’s way better. “And I think even Perry sparred with him back in the day around the Ben Askren time.”That’s when he moved with him as well. So for Perry to remember that, and then to see how he is now, I think that’s gonna be a bit of a shocker.” Bostwick has traveled with Paul’s team to Tampa ahead of the scheduled eight-round fight – but does not expect the final bell to sound.READ MORE SUN STORIESHe predicted: “I honestly think Jake can stop Perry within, like, four or five rounds. “Stop him. Either knockout to the head, to the body, but I think he could for sure hurt him and get a stoppage. I genuinely believe that.” More

      KSI faced with accepting Jake Paul’s ‘outrageous’ and ‘unfair’ terms to secure huge £100m YouTube grudge fight

      by

      KSI could be forced into accepting “outrageous” and “unfair” terms in order to finally fight Jake Paul. The pair of YouTube sensations-turned-boxers have rivalled for well over half a decade – fuelling demand for a bitter grudge match. KSI could have to accept ‘outrageous’ and ‘unfair’ terms to fight Jake PaulCredit: PAJake Paul has fought as high as 200lbCredit: @jakepaulBut the latest hurdle in talks looks to be the weight difference between the feuding duo. KSI has fought as light as 175lb whereas Paul’s last two bouts have been at the 200lb cruiserweight limit. Both lost to Tommy Fury and scaled around the 183lb mark. Paul has since moved up in weight and claimed his body is too naturally big to suck back down to a 185lb catchweight. READ MORE IN BOXINGWhereas KSI’s team argue the British superstar is already way out of his comfort zone by bulking up to 185lb as it is. But, his boxing coach Alexis Demetriades insisted they would be willing to make the compromise in order to at last face Paul. Demetriades told SunSport: “I can be brutally honest with you, we’ve asked for that fight a lot. “It was offered 175, 180, cool no problem let’s do it. (Jake) didn’t want to do it. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS“Remember, JJ’s fought at 170, he’s gone up to 175, 182 for Tommy, we’ll go up to 185. How much more do you want JJ to go up in weight? “So let’s meet in the middle, Jake’s fought at 183, we’ll go up to 185. So we’ll go up past what he fought Tommy Fury at, which is outrageous. KSI targets revenge fight against Floyd Mayweather and wants to ‘KILL’ boxing legend for how he treated brother Deji“That’s 15-20lb more than JJ fights at. So we’re giving up that much plus a weight cut. And Jake still doesn’t want to do it. “What do you want JJ to do? Put dumbbells in his pockets when he weighs in? Literally, I don’t know what else to offer.”Since losing to Fury, 25, Paul, 27, has gone on to win three more times and returns on July 20.He does so against ex-UFC star-turned-bare-knuckle-boxer Mike Perry, 32, after his heavyweight showdown against Mike Tyson, 58, was postponed.KSI, 31, meanwhile has not fought since suffering his first defeat last October to Fury via controversial decision. He makes his comeback on August 31 in Dublin in a wild two-on-one handicap bout against Anthony Taylor, 34, and Slim Albaher, 29. But the biggest blockbuster remains between KSI and Paul – which Demetriades admitted in the past could be worth £100MILLION. And despite believing his man will have to fight way beyond his natural weight class – they are ready to make the sacrifice. Demetriades said: “There’s an element where there’s an unfair safety advantage. “Weight divisions are there for a reason, right? So at what point do we stop? “I said to JJ, we want to get this kid, OK let’s go up to 185. He fought at 183, we’ll go up to 185 which is nuts because JJ is not naturally that heavy.“He’s not a natural 185er, the second he gets into camp he comes down. But for that fight, how huge it is and the magnitude of it. “And, stylistically as well I think we have this guy’s number. That’s just what fighting is about.

      Fans want Argentina star De Paul to be awarded Oscar for outrageous theatrics during Copa America win over Canada

      by

      ARGENTINA’S Rodrigo de Paul has been handed both the ultimate acting compliment AND the worst insult for his play-acting at Copa America.Fans ridiculed the Atletico Madrid midfielder for his starring “roll” in a semi-final 2-0 win over Canada.Rodrigo de Paul was on the floor when Ismael Koné prodded the ball at himKoné was booked for this incident which had De Paul reeling ridiculouslyEither De Paul was exaggerating or Koné’s kick had amazingly-deceptive powerWith the scoring complete, De Paul went down dramatically after a sliding challenge from Stephen Eustáquio – despite little contact.Eustáquio’s frustrated Canadian team-mate Ismael Kone then kicked the ball at the grounded Argentinian, who responded by clutching his back and tumbling around as if in agony.Chilean referee Piero Maza whipped out the yellow card for Koné – but viewers were more interested in giving De Paul bookings… for movie roles.Amongst the plaudits for his acting were numerous nominations for an Oscar award.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLBut De Paul might be more concerned by a huge SLUR over his theatrical ability.One fan alleged: “His acting is like a bad TikTok skit.”Meanwhile, Canada boss Jesse Marsch reacted on the sideline with the same indignation to De Paul’s antics as fans showed online.The former Leeds chief appeared to yell his disapproval at the 30-year-old.Most read in FootballMan City’s Julian Alvarez slotted the breakthrough goal for ArgentinaCredit: GettyBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSDe Paul is a 2022 World Cup winner – but many viewers believe he is now more like an Academy Award sinner.Such verdicts included: “Trying out for an Oscar” and “An Oscar for De Paul”.SunSport’s Latest Euro 2024 headlinesAnother fan posted: “And the academy award goes to… could you imagine a hockey player doing this?”And apart from acting assessments, De Paul was also accused of setting a bad example to youngsters.One viewer suggested: “THIS is exactly what is still wrong with soccer. Stop teaching kids how to dive, it’s gross.”Another said: “The way he rolls over in pain after a slight tap of the ball. Surely that warrants a yellow card for embellishment.”More mocking comments like “Hahahaha soccer is softer than hobby horsing” and “Yo, this is hilarious” flowed in.And one fan joked: “Someone call an ambulance, there has been a murder on the field.”But, plot twist, another observer seemed to APPROVE of the action that sparked De Paul’s rolling around.He wrote: “A well-earned yellow card by Koné. Legend!”Perhaps with De Paul’s new reputation for acting, that opinion is what movie directors might call a surprise ending…!Earlier on, Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez finished off De Paul’s pass for Argentina’s opening goal midway through the first half.READ MORE SUN STORIESStar performer Lionel Messi, 37, then killed off the Canadians early in the second period, deflecting in a shot from Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez.Lionel Scaloni’s men face the winner of Thursday’s clash between Uruguay and Colombia in Monday’s final.Lionel Messi celebrates his clincher with fellow scorer AlvarezCredit: Rex More
