      And now Paul has taken to social media to announce he will be back in the ring in just 11 weeks time in Puerto Rico on March 2.
      But the social media sensation will NOT be the night’s headliner, with women’s boxing legend Amanda Serrano instead at the top of the bill for her homecoming fight.
      Paul said: “Fighting for the first time at home in Puerto Rico alongside one of the greatest fighters ever, Amanda Serrano, promises to be the event of a lifetime.
      “I’m honoured to be the co-main event on Amanda’s homecoming card, and I could not be more excited to bring this historic event to Puerto Rico as I continue my path to becoming a world champion.

      “Our latest MVP signee, Wanna Walton, is making his global debut on this card, Bomba Gonzalez and Krystal Rosado are continuing their rise to stardom, and the whole island of Puerto Rico will finally get a chance to properly celebrate the greatness of Amanda Serrano.
      “She is going to sell more tickets in one event than Katie Taylor did in two in Dublin.
      “This is going to be the biggest night of boxing the Choliseo has ever seen and the world will be watching.”
      The last time Paul did not top the bill was in November 2020 when he knocked out basketballer Nate Robinson, 39, on Mike Tyson’s undercard.

      Serrano, 35, looks set to defend her unified WBA, IBF and WBO belts in the 20,000-seat arena in her first bout back in Puerto Rico since 2017.
      Paul, 26, meanwhile is coming off his first victory over a recognised boxer in August, 35, who was 10-1-1 before the KO defeat.
      The American was beaten by Tommy Fury via split-decision in February but bounced back by beating ex-UFC star Nate Diaz in August.
      And Paul has since confirmed his focus will be on rising the traditional ranks as he intends to face seasoned boxers going forward.
      He said when asked on his next move: “More boxing prospects, more experience, more time in the ring under the bright lights staying active.
      “And if the money fights want to come, I’ve got smoke for them too but right now I’m focussed on being one of the best in the world and creating one of the greatest sports stories in the history of sports.
      “Being able to become a world champion from Disney channel, three years ago not even knowing how to throw a jab or what an uppercut was.”

      Jake Paul called out for ‘one of the biggest fights in boxing history’ after YouTuber reveals plan to become WORLD CHAMP

      by

      JAKE PAUL has been called out by Viddal Riley for “one of the biggest fights in boxing history”. The YouTuber-turned prizefighter improved to 8-1 by knocking out Andre August, the first professional boxer he has beaten.

      And afterwards, he opened the door to facing unbeaten English cruiserweight champion Riley in the future.
      The British star – who formerly coached Paul’s arch rival KSI – was quick to respond and talked up the potential bout.
      Riley said: “If that’s his aspirations, mine are the same and we both weigh 200lb, then yeah it’s inevitable that fight could happen down the line.
      “Say I’m world champion, this guy is ranked in the top 15 in the world with said governing body, I would happily, voluntarily defend the title against him, why wouldn’t I?

      “I think it would be one of the biggest fights probably, in boxing history with the amount of back story, the amount of build-up.
      “It’d be crazy. Everyone would tune in for that.” 
      Riley, 26, added that he does not see it happening in 2024 but leaves the door open to the fight in the near future.
      Paul, also 26, suffered defeat for the first time in February, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.

      But he has bounced back with two wins since, on points against ex-UFC contender Nate Diaz, 38, and a knockout of August, 35.
      Paul talked down the chances of KSI, 30, accepting a fight against him but would welcome a showdown against his first coach Riley.
      He said: “For sure that can happen, that would be interesting and he has a name, a profile and that’s something that excites me for sure.
      “As I go down this path I’m going to continue to challenge myself and grow and grow and grow and some of those names start popping into the equation.”
      Paul took the fight with little-known August – who had a 10-1-1 record – as he looks to one day challenge for a world championship.
      He said: “I’m focused on being the best in the world and creating one of the greatest sports stories in the history of sports: being able to become a world champion from Disney Channel.”

      Jake Paul reveals HOUR long phone call with Tommy Fury for rematch but fears rival is already making ‘excuses’

      by

      JAKE PAUL revealed he spent an hour on the phone negotiating a rematch with Tommy Fury but fears his rival is already making “excuses”. The celebrity boxing pair finally ended two years of feuding in February with Fury emerging a split-decision winner.

      But Paul has bounced back with two wins since, on points against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, and a knockout of boxer Andre August, 36.
      And he revealed after his uppercut KO of August that talks with Fury are back underway – but money could prove an obstacle.
      Paul, 26, said on his podcast: “We had calls with him, had an hour long call with him and the whole entire thing was just kind of this thing, ‘Oh, more money, more money, more money.’
      “When he’s not getting more money by fighting anybody else and we have an amazing offer out there for him and it’s kind of just these excuses after excuses.

      “Obviously Tommy already beat me, so people will be like, ‘Oh, he already beat you so why wouldn’t he do it again?’
      “But he sees my skillset advancing, knows he had me at my worst. Two to make it true. I’m here, I’m ready.”
      Fury, 24, went on to beat Paul’s arch rival KSI, 30, in his next bout.
      And the build-up proved to also be a bitter one, with KSI even spitting on Fury’s dad and coach John.

      It leaves John – in charge of his son’s career – refusing to entertain a rematch with KSI.
      He told SecondsOut, via Freebets: “If Jake Paul wants to box Tommy next that wouldn’t be a problem.
      “If anybody out there wants to box Tommy that’s carrying weight, let’s talk.
      “The only man that’s not welcome at the table is not a man, is him. What do you call him? KSI. He is not welcome, not now, not ever. He is done.
      “We don’t want to do business with a spitter. Too much bad blood, he’s an ignorant man and there’s no more business, not even for $1trillion with him.”

      John Fury hints at son Tommy’s next fight as Jake Paul reveals talks but KSI rematch is ruled out even for $1TRILLION

      by

      JOHN FURY has given his blessing for son Tommy to rematch Jake Paul – but not even $1TRILLION could convince him to fight KSI again. Tommy leaves 2023 after beating YouTube’s two biggest boxing stars, firstly edging past Paul on a split-decision in Saudi Arabia in February.

      And he followed it up with a controversial points win over KSI in October following a bitter build up.
      KSI spat at his dad John during an open workout which leaves Tommy’s dad ruling out a rematch between the two.
      He told SecondsOut, via Freebets: “If Jake Paul wants to box Tommy next that wouldn’t be a problem.
      “If anybody out there wants to box Tommy that’s carrying weight, let’s talk.

      KSI, 30, lost the first stage of his appeal against Fury, 24, who still stands as a unanimous decision victor.
      Meanwhile Paul, 26, has returned with two wins since his first boxing loss, beating ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, and boxer Andre August, 35.

      KSI takes brutal swipe at Tommy Fury by claiming IShowSpeed landed MORE punches against him and aims dig at Jake Paul

      by

      KSI took aim at both Tommy Fury and Jake Paul after his charity sparring match with IShowSpeed. The YouTube sensation streamed the spar with Speed at the same time Paul was making his boxing return against Andre August.

      And after three comical rounds – where Speed was dropped and sent through the ropes – KSI said enough was enough.
      He gracefully handed Speed victory after pulling himself out, leaving the streamer in tears.
      KSI spoke out after the spar to suggest more people viewed it than Paul’s fight with August.
      And he claimed Speed landed more punches against him than the 39 Fury managed in October.

      KSI told Fred Talks Fighting: “I think it was definitely the event of the night.
      “I think there was a lot of boxing fights happening at around the same time.
      “But I’m pretty sure there were more people were watching ours than anyone else’s.
      “But yeah man, tough opponent. I think he hit me more than most my opponents, I think he hit me more than Tommy Fury.”

      He said: “I don’t care it’s just two different things, right? He’s chasing views as a 30-year-old man and I’m chasing legacy and belts.
      “All kudos to him, I hope he makes his wildest dreams come true.”

      Five next fights for Jake Paul after stunning Andre August KO with announcement set for NEXT WEEK

      by

      JAKE PAUL is already looking to line up his next fight after brutally knocking out Andre August. The YouTuber-turned boxer closed the show inside the first round with a massive right uppercut.

      And he was immediately probed on when his next fight could be.
      To which Paul said: “We’ve got an announcement coming next week.”
      So here, SunSport takes a look at who could be next for the self-proclaimed Problem Child.
      Tommy Fury
      Fury, 24, so far remains the only man to have beaten Paul, 26, thanks to his split-decision win in Saudi Arabia in February.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      And it sets the pair up perfectly for a rematch, something Paul has always insisted he will deliver.
      He said before his fight with August: “It’s going to happen. I’m coming for you Tommy. I’m going to knock him out.”

      KSI
      It’s the mother of all grudge matches in the YouTube boxing world but so far it has failed to materialise.
      In the lead up to Paul’s win over August their opposing teams were going back and forth over terms for the grudge bout.
      Most read in Boxing
      So far it looks as though an agreed upon weight is holding up an agreement but there is still a score to be settled.

      Viddal Riley
      Riley, 26, shot to fame as the coach to KSI and AnEsonGib, who Paul knocked out in his pro debut.
      But he is also a former amateur champion and current 10-0 English cruiserweight title holder.
      And with Paul open to facing established boxers, when asked about Riley he said: “For sure that can happen, it would be interesting.”

      Idris Virgo
      Virgo – a former Love Islander – had 12 pro wins before he took the influencer boxing route with KSI’s Misfits Boxing.
      His popularity also increased after becoming a training partner of KSI’s.
      So if Paul wants to fight another boxer, who has a profile and connection to KSI, a good wildcard option would be Virgo, 30.

      The 7-1 mystery man
      August, 35, was not actually due to fight Paul and only filled in when their initial opponent suffered US visa issues.

      Paul’s business partner Nakisa Bidarian said in October: “Unfortunately, the opponent, which was a 7-1 boxer, has not been able to obtain a visa to come to the US.”
      With an announcement already planned, could the initial opponent be lined up for Paul’s next fight. More

      IShowSpeed floored several times and left in tears after charity sparring match with KSI

      by

      ISHOWSPEED was left in tears after being floored by KSI in their charity sparring match. The two were scheduled for six rounds to help raise money for the Anthony Walker Foundation.
      KSI dropped IShowSpeed several times
      KSI even knocked Speed into the ropes
      Speed was pulled out after six rounds
      And it was purposely staged at the exact same time as Jake Paul’s fight with Andre August, which he won in the first round.
      KSI has boxed eight times, most recently in October when he lost for the first time, against Tommy Fury.
      Whereas Speed – a streamer known for his obsession with Cristiano Ronaldo – has hardly laced up a pair of gloves.
      And it showed.

      Speed ran around the ring for three rounds while falling to the floor whenever KSI landed a half meaningful body shot.
      The social media star was utterly exhausted during the half way point when KSI decided to call it off.
      He said: “It takes a big man to get in the ring with me. Many have tried, many have failed and according to judges, someone was victorious.”
      But an emotional Speed said: “It’s not over yet. Get back in the ring.”

      KSI responded: “I’m proud of you, you did a huge thing. We had over 100,000 watching our spar. I want you to take this and let it fuel you.
      “You know what? With your tenacity I’m going to tap out. You win.”
      Speed was not happy with the sympathy vote and demanded the full six rounds be completed.
      He then burst into tears and stormed out of the gym to end the night on a sour note.

      And a perfectly-timed uppercut left August unable to beat the count and Paul handed the most legitimate win of his career.
      He said: “I said first round knockout all week, I manifested this, this is the power of manifestation and I said I need to bring back the old Problem Child.
      “I’ve been too nice with these people, letting them go into the later rounds. I set up my shot and he went night, night.
      “I told him he was going to need a Celcius to wake up.”

      From the opening bell, Paul, 26, took the centre of the ring and got behind his jab.
      He was doubling up his left hand and looking for the right behind it but August – who had 12 prior bouts – covered up well.
      The little-known American, 36, also landed a couple of solid overhand rights himself but Paul took them well.
      And then as the round was closing out, Paul set August up with a range-finding jab before firing over the finishing uppercut.

      Immediately the social media sensation walked over to the camera with a smirk and put his finger to his mouth.
      He said: “Just silencing the critics, everyone who had something to say about me, ‘Oh, he can’t do this, he can’t sell, he’s not big, what is he doing fighting this guy? Fighting that guy,’ shut the f*** up.”
      Paul teased that he has an announcement for his next fight lined up next week as he looks to face more seasoned boxers.
      He was beaten by Tommy Fury, 24, by split-decision in Saudi Arabia but bounced back in August to beat ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38.
      But Paul said on his next fight: “More boxing prospects, more experience, more time in the ring under the bright lights staying active.
      “And if the money fights want to come, I’ve got smoke for them too but right now I’m focussed on being one of the best in the world and creating one of the greatest sports stories in the history of sports.
      “Being able to become a world champion from Disney channel, three years ago not even knowing how to throw a jab or what an uppercut was.”
