Tommy Fury and Jake Paul were in talks for a rematchCredit: ReutersAnd it marks Netflix’s first move into live boxing following behind-the-scenes talks with Paul. The American, 27, revealed he initially wanted Fury – the only man to beat him in the ring – as the opponent for the inaugural streaming event. But Paul accused Fury, 24, of pricing himself out and forcing him to look in the direction of Iron Mike. He said on his podcast: “Most Valuable Promotions, me and (business partner) Nakisa, had been trying to find the right fight, the right timeframe, the right event.READ MORE IN b”And we knew we wanted to target this summer so we just started making calls.”We called Tommy Fury, was one of the names, and and he said no, he wanted more money. “And so now, and it’s all serendipitous, he’s probably punching the f***ing air now realising how big of a mistake he made, I mean, he’s an idiot.”Paul was beaten on a split-decision by Fury in Saudi Arabia last year but boasted of earning £25m while doing so.

He said: “Literally, the next offer for him is like nothing, basically. And my brand only increases to a whole other level. “We probably would’ve been like 50/50 for that fight and now it’s like after this, and who knows what I’m going to do, it’s like Tommy I’m sorry buddy, you’re like a 10 per center now. “But you really did f*** up.” Paul said after Fury’s snub talks were still ongoing before he switched his focus to Tyson. The Baddest Man on The Planet retired in 2005 but did return in 2020 to draw over eight exhibition rounds with fellow great Roy Jones Jr. And after five months of talks, the deal was signed off. The exact rules and regulations, such as whether it will be sanctioned or an exhibition, are yet to be announced.

      Inside KSI’s manager’s 40-year plan to bring WWE to life in boxing ring with never-before-seen tag and handicap matches

      by

      KSI’S manager Mams Taylor is making his childhood dreams come true by bringing WWE to life in the boxing ring.Taylor, a music mogul-turned boxing promoter, launched Misfits alongside KSI in 2022 to home celebrity-style crossover bouts. Misfits Boxing became the first to have tag-team boxingBoxers tag in and out of the boutCredit: GettyIt is part of Mams Taylor’s dream to bring boxing to lifeStars from the worlds of social media, music and entertainment – including KSI himself – have all taken to the Misfits ring. But Taylor has tried to revolutionise spectacle showdowns by blending them with a bit of pro wrestling both in and out of the ring. Misfits have sensationally had tag-team matches and this weekend in Nashville host their first two-on-one HANDICAP bout. And it has all been part of Taylor’s master plan since he began watching WWE almost 40 years ago to bring the best of pro-wrestling to the world of boxing. READ MORE IN BOXINGHe said: “I think it’s a good blend and you’ve got something for everyone, especially with the two-on-one outnumbered tag match, again, shades of WWE but with real fighting.“Because for me, when I watched WWE as a kid it was WWF and I remember when I found out that it was predetermined outcomes and I was more heartbroken than when I found out there’s no Santa.“So I said one day we’re going to make it so that they really fight each other but you still have that entertainment and the storylines and all of that.“And I think Misfits Boxing is as close as you can get to that because obviously there’s no predetermined outcomes, nothing’s choreographed or anything like that it’s all real boxing.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS“But you’ve got some colourful characters.”Taylor got his break in the music industry, which is where he met UK chart-topper KSI before becoming his manager. KSI’s Misfits Boxing in talks with FIVE footballers with Man Utd icon Wayne Rooney still expected to make shock switchBut his dream was always to be a shot caller like former WWE boss Vince McMahon. Taylor said: “I wanted to be like the Vince McMahon of something, of some kind of combat sports organisation.“So it’s absolutely a manifestation of something I’ve thought about over and over again.“I remember playing with the WWE toys and organising them and playing the matches out and doing the story lines and it was like practise for what it’s like now.“Obviously, I didn’t know it would be in boxing per say but that’s how it’s kind of worked out.”I think Misfits Boxing is as close as you can get to that because obviously there’s no predetermined outcomes, nothing’s choreographed or anything like that it’s all real boxing.Mams Taylor on comparisons between WWE and Misfits Boxing Taylor appeared to come out of nowhere when he teamed up with British promoter Kalle Sauerland to launch Misfits on streaming service DAZN. But in fact, it was a long time coming after testing the waters in MMA.Taylor revealed: “I was a boxing fan through way of proxy through my brother as well who loved that and I boxed myself from the age of 14. “Then MMA came about and tried my hand at that and actually put on an MMA show with some friends of mine about 20 years ago. “So as a fan and someone who has trained it’s something I am very passionate about just in general, combat sports.” Misfits co-founder KSI rarely misses an event and the man himself is hoping to be in the house to watch the never-before-seen two-on-one bout.READ MORE SUN STORIESTaylor said: “We’re working on it, hopefully. “He hates missing them but he’s got some commitments so we’re trying to work some things around.

But perhaps their most ambitious plan was to try to bring Manchester United legend Rooney over for a shock bout.
