      by

      NATE DIAZ has been offered £12.3MILLION to rematch Jake Paul in MMA – but he is “hiding behind a rock”. Paul, 26, beat the ex-UFC star in his boxing return over ten rounds in August and immediately called out Diaz, 38, to fight in the cage.

      The YouTuber-turned prizefighter signed with the Professional Fighters League this year with his MMA debut set for 2024.
      And PFL owner Donn Davis laid out a challenge to Diaz as Paul searches for his first opponent in the cage.
      Davis said on The MMA Hour: “If we could ever put together Jake versus Nate, if Nate would stop weaseling out and complaining about that MMA fight with Jake.
      “I respect Nate, he’s the people’s champ, he’s a man’s man, he’s stand up as all stand up.

      “But, he said, ‘I’ll do it in the PFL SmartCage two minutes after the [Paul boxing fight], he’s got a standing offer of between $10 and $15 million (£8.2m and £12.5m), and he’s hiding behind a rock.
      “Ten-15 million, biggest payday of his life. He gets beat by Jake and he’s hiding behind a rock.”
      Diaz is yet to confirm his fighting future having walked out on the UFC to pursue his boxing bout with Paul.
      Paul meanwhile returns to the ring on December 15 and teased that it would be against a professional boxer.

      And his business partner Nikisa Bidarian revealed Paul was due to face a 7-1 opponent until the visa issue struck.
      Bidarian said: “Just regarding Friday, December 15, there was a plan to announce Jake Paul’s opponent for that evening. 
      “Unfortunately, the opponent, which was a 7-1 boxer, has not been able to obtain a visa to come to the US.
      “So we’re currently reviewing alternative options for his opponent, but the plan is to try to announce it within the next two weeks.”

      Paul, 26, suffered defeat for the first time in February after losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.
      It was the first time the American had stepped up to face an opponent with prior pro boxing experience.
      Paul snubbed a rematch with Fury to instead return with victory over ten rounds against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, in August.
      Fury went onto KSI, 30, in a controversial points victory which Paul was ringside for and subsequently called both out.

      “But knowing where I’m going, my improvement, my new team that I have, my new mindset, and elevating every day in the boxing ring.
      “From what I saw in Tommy, I know in the rematch I’m going to beat that guy. 
      “I’m going to show you all how to take a loss, come back, win against Nate Diaz, and then win again when it’s time to put it all on the line. 
      “Respect to Tommy for remaining undefeated 10-0, and I’m excited to run that back as soon as we can.”

      And Hearn has teased an Old Trafford showdown with YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul.
      Rooney, now 38, boxed during his childhood and amazingly has the support of an ex-UFC champ in beating Paul, 26.
      Bisping, 44, told SunSport on behalf of Betway: “Wayne Rooney is nowhere near the size of Jake Paul.
      “But one thing we know, he’ll have tremendous footwork. This is a man that’s competed at the highest level of sport.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “He’s got the dedication and the discipline. He’s a tough person.
      “Rooney is used to having a row, he grew up in a tough part of Liverpool and he’s had many street fights and if he had a really good coach to take him under his wing, he can beat up that YouTuber all day long.”
      Rooney is now back in England after taking over at Birmingham.
      But the ex-England striker has not played since 2021 when he finished his career with Derby.

      Paul on the other hand is three years into his professional boxing career and has a record of seven wins and one loss.
      That defeat came in February against rival Tommy Fury, 24, but the American bounced back in August by beating ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38.
      Now Paul is set to return again on Friday December 15 with an opponent – who is expected to be another pro boxer – yet to be confirmed.
      If Hearn – who has promoted and worked alongside the American before – had it his wa,y a fight with Rooney would be in the pipeline.
      He said on The Overlap: “Wayne Rooney had a very limited amateur pedigree but could still fight.
      “Wayne Rooney training, and I said to him, ‘Imagine the shape you could get in as well. You’ll get right back into shape.’
      “(Rooney) against Jake Paul at Old Trafford.”

      Masked rapper Dide who claims to be ‘Premier League star’ speaks out for first time – and reveals clue to true identity

      by

      THE rap star guessing game that has swept the UK may be a step closer to being solved after Dide let slip a key clue about his true identity.The masked rapper – who claims to be a “Premier League star” in disguise – has earned millions of streams on YouTube and Spotify since he started releasing music earlier this year.

      He hinted at his true identityCredit: Instagram/@dideworld
      The rapper, who claims to be a current Prem player, hides his identity by wearing baggy clothes, gloves and a distinctive black rose mask.
      His lyrics suggest that he “sees seven figures” and plays for a team which “stays winning”.
      Internet sleuths have fingered the likes of Eddie Nketiah, Bukayo Saka, Reiss Nelson, Noni Madueke, Alex Iwobi, Michail Antonio, Wilfried Zaha and Sheyi Ojo as the face behind Dide’s mask.
      The 5ft10 star has filmed music videos in Bermondsey, often raps about the “Big Smoke” and speaks with a trace of a London accent.

      Now he has spoken out for the first time – and let slip a clue to his true identity.
      Dide told Sky News that Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium has the best changing rooms in the Prem, and Luton Town’s Kenilworth Road ground the worst.
      Only four teams have played newly-promoted Luton at home this season – West Ham, Burnley, Wolves and Spurs.
      This would seem to rule out nearly all of the most popular guesses – while his interview with Sky was recorded in London just half an hour before West Ham’s clash with Aston Villa at Villa Park in Birmingham, which would seem to also eliminate Irons star Antonio.
      Most read in Football
      Sheyi Ojo played at Kenilworth Road this year while with Cardiff City, meaning he could fit the bill.
      Ojo made his debut in the Premier League for Liverpool in 2016 – however he is now on loan at K.V. Kortrijk in Belgium from Cardiff.
      He played in Kortrijk’s 1-0 home win over Club Brugge the day before the Sky interview.
      Dide added that the best player he has faced is Chelsea legend Eden Hazard, and gave a detailed explanation of recent changes to refereeing rules.
      But the rapper says that not even his teammates know he is the man behind the mask.

      He said: “A lot of us go into the studio just for fun, but no one really knows how far it’s gone.
      “They ask me, like, ‘Oh, is it you? But just the same way that it can be me, it could be someone else.
      “So there’s no real one thing that would make it be, you know, one football player.
      “As the music comes out, it will kind of make sense. Maybe I might reveal myself in the future. Who knows?”

      But Dide slammed speculation that he is a certain Manchester United and England centre-back.
      He said: “To me, that’s funny. Obviously I know Harry Maguire quite well.” More

      But he watched from ringside in February as his younger brother edged out a close split-decision victory in Saudi Arabia.
      Although Fury, 35, was so confident in Tommy’s power that he lumped cash on a knockout over Paul, 26.
      He told Queensberry Boxing’s YouTube channel: “My brother Tommy can hit as hard as any heavyweight that you’ll ever hit.
      “It’s very hard, but yet he can’t knock out KSI or Jake Paul because he doesn’t have the experience to set that punch up.

      “I actually lost a lot of money when Tommy fought Jake Paul. Because I bet 100 per cent that this YouTuber is not going to take Tommy’s power. No way.
      “Tommy hits me in the gut and it hurts me, he hits very hard when we’re body sparring he hits me all up the arms and my arms are sore.
      “I’m thinking ‘this YouTuber’s not going to be able to take this power’ so I bet him heavily to win by knockout and he won on points.”
      Tommy, 23, went on to face Paul’s arch enemy KSI, 30, following his win over the American.

      Tommy Fury claims it is HARDER fighting YouTubers than boxers and says ‘any pro will tell you that’

      by

      TOMMY FURY has claimed it’s HARDER fighting YouTubers than boxers and says “any pro will tell you that”.The 24-year-old Love Island star amassed a record of 8-0 during his fledgling career before turning his hand to mega-money influencer bouts.

      Back in February, Fury beat Jake Paul by split-decision in Saudi Arabia to end two years of bitter feuding.
      That then set him up with another blockbuster and money-spinning clash with YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI.
      Their self-dubbed Battle of Britain ended contentiously a fortnight ago after Fury walked away with a points victory in a razor thin fight.
      The younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was initially awarded a majority decision but it was overturned to a unanimous victory due to a scorecard being read out incorrectly.
      READ MORE BOXING
      His rival KSI has since hired a lawyer to appeal the loss in total – something Fury laughed off.
      After that last fight, Fury claimed he was done facing influencers – but now he has been discussing his experiences of facing non-pros.
      And he is adamant that they are much more difficult to battle with rather than his more traditional opponents.
      Fury told the Daily Mail: “I think boxing conventional boxers is easier than fighting YouTubers and novices.
      Most read in Boxing

      “Any professional boxer will tell you that. Novices don’t know what they’re doing. 
      “Punches are coming from everywhere, you’re leaning out of shots and it’s horrible and messy. Whereas with a conventional boxer, they’re in front of you and you know what you’re getting. I do think it’s easier. 
      “In the build up to the KSI fight I was sparring with solid professionals and I was putting on clinics in the gym, so it makes me want to go back and be like ‘let me be a normal boxer and show what I can do’.
      “Before I started fighting these guys, I was getting them out of there and throwing good combinations. But these guys, you throw a jab and they run 100 miles away.”
      The boxer, who is engaged to fellow Love Islander Molly-Mae Hague after welcoming their first child into the world, then added on KSI: “His performance wasn’t a performance, he wasn’t there to box at all.
      “Looking back on it, he was never going to stand there and trade with me because I’m a lot heavier than him. His plan was to clinch me all night. It is what it is. 
      “I was upset at the time because it was a massive atmosphere and build up and I wanted to have a good fight. But when you’ve got someone doing star jumps in the corner and running from corner post to corner post.
      “It’s very difficult to fight someone who doesn’t want to engage or win the fight.” More

      But the six-rounder proved to be a scrappy affair with little to separate the celebrity pair.
      Tommy slammed KSI for his unorthodox tactics but insisted he is ready for a rematch – so long as he adopts a more conventional style.
      Tyson, 35, asked: “Are you ready for the rematch?”
      Tommy, 24, replied: “If he stops the star jumps and stops the hugging we can get it on.”

      And, according to big brother Tyson, the WBC heavyweight world champion, he has done so while making millions.
      In fact Tyson claimed Tommy raked in over £8MILLION from this month’s fight with KSI alone.
      Tyson, 35, said on The MMA Hour: “Well, I can be brutally honest because we always are.
      “The fact that Tommy made $10million in his fight, he’s 24-year’s-old, he’s probably made $25-26million [£20-21m] out of his ten-fight career, it’s unbelievable.
      “I’m very, very proud of where he’s come from. In 2018, Tommy didn’t have $10 for a bus pass.
      “Today, Tommy’s got a hell of a lot of money in his account. Millions of dollars in his account so I’m very proud of him.
      “He can buy what he wants, he’s got a $5millon mansion, G-wagons, Lambos, Rolexs, the guy’s flying.
      “Regardless of the fight, all these fights he’s had with Jake Paul and whoever else, it’s show business.

      Jake Paul appears to debunk KSI vs Tommy Fury PPV sales and claims his bout with Love Island star sold MORE

      by

      JAKE PAUL has appeared to debunk the pay-per-view sales of KSI’s fight with Tommy Fury. Fury controversially beat KSI on points in a huge influencer boxing card which also held Logan Paul’s win over Dillon Danis.

      According to Happy Punch promotions, who had several of their fighters on the card, the event sold 1.3million PPVs.
      But Paul has spoke out to refute this and claimed it did 100,000 LESS than the 800,000-plus his loss to Fury in February brought in.
      Responding to a clip of Fury predicting Paul to beat KSI, the American responded: “Hahahaha. KSI is going to appeal this interview.
      “700K buys globally they did. Great number. Less than Tommy and I but still a great outcome thanks to Logan being on the card.”
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Esteemed wrestling reporter Dave Meltzer said the DAZN PPV sold just 100,000 buys in the US.
      So if Paul’s estimations are correct, that would mean only 600,000 box office receipts came in from the UK.

      Despite the American’s claim, KSI’s manager Mams Taylor, co-founder of Misfits Boxing who staged the event, hit back.
      Taylor posted on X, formerly Twitter: “First of all you and Tommy did 550k Globally (most from UK).

      “Secondly, you and Nate barely did 350k.
      “Thirdly, you guys put Showtime in $16M of debt and contributed to their downfall because you demanded crazy undeserved upfront fees and ppv’s tanked.
      “Fourthly, we did more than 700k but nice try. What else?”
