      YouTube boxing BLOCKED from Saudi Arabia in huge blow for Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury

      by

      But no influence has been bigger than His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of the General Entertainment Authority in Saudi.
      He is in control of boxing in the region and has managed to even have feuding promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren work together.
      His Excellency wants everyone in the sport to collaborate – but it will not cross over to the new age of influencer boxing.
      He told DAZN: “Please, we don’t want any YouTuber fight again. I don’t talk about names.

      “I want fighters, I want fighters, this is what I support.”
      It could come as a blow to the likes of KSI, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury.
      Fury, 24, last year beat both the social media sensations and remains linked with rematches.
      His grudge match with Paul, 27, was even staged in Riyadh and saw him win a split-decision.

      American Paul has since distanced himself from the crossover boxing scene to head into a more traditional route.
      His last fight was against professional boxer Andre August, 35, which he won by first-round knockout.
      Paul returns on March 2 on the undercard of Amanda Serrano’s Puerto Rico homecoming and will do so against another boxer.
      KSI, 30, is meanwhile taking time away from the sport following his controversial loss to Fury.
      But he will always be in line for a blockbuster bout with Paul following years of feuding between the pair.
      They were even in talks to fight in Saudi in 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic KO’d those plans.

      Who is Not Logan Paul and what is his net worth?

      by

      NOT LOGAN PAUL has made a name for himself with his eerily similar appearance to influencer Logan Paul.The lookalike star is well known online, boasting popular Instagram and TikTok accounts, and has also entered the world of boxing.
      Rodney Petersen is better known online by his alias Not Logan Paul
      Who is Not Logan Paul?
      Not Logan Paul is a social media personality who found fame due to looking like Logan Paul.
      The star, real name Rodney Petersen, began posting on social media in 2020.
      At first, he shared aspects of his life like his love for music and pictures of his children.
      But it wasn’t long until his followers began to make comparisons between Petersen and influencer and boxer Paul.
      READ MORE ON LOGAN PAUL
      Petersen told Business Insider: “In early 2021, I’d never heard of YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul.
      “But when people started flooding my comments section saying they thought I looked like him, I googled him and discovered he’s a hugely popular influencer with a controversial past.”
      Petersen, who shares four children with his wife, has enjoyed success from the comparisons but has admitted the reception isn’t always positive.
      He explained: “I sometimes receive negative comments from viewers, such as from a person who commented ‘you and your brother are jokes of the world,’ as if I was actually Logan himself, which is so strange.”
      Most read in Boxing
      Is Not Logan Paul on social media?
      Petersen is a big presence online and has many social media followers.
      On Instagram he has 130k followers while on TikTok he has over 215k followers.
      He also has a YouTube channel where he has over 3k subscribers.
      It was the star’s wife who first convinced him to join TikTok back in 2020 but it was only once he began capitalising on being a Logan Paul doppelgänger that he found his follower count rising dramatically.
      In just one year, Petersen went from having 7k followers to 130k after making a number of clips recreating some of Paul’s old videos and doing impressions of him.
      Petersen said in 2022: “I’m happy to run with this Logan Paul doppelgänger bit as long as it keeps bringing me views.
      “In a funny way, I’ve found that it’s allowing more people to find me and get to know who I am.
      “People used to come up to me in the street because they thought I was Logan Paul, but now, they know that I’m his doppelgänger on TikTok, they know my accounts and real name, and they want a picture with the actual me.”
      Petersen has also said that he would eventually like to go back to focusing on his dreams in martial arts and music.
      What is Not Logan Paul’s net worth?
      Petersen’s net worth has been reported to be as much as $6 million, which is over £4.5 million.
      The star has admitted in the past that “looking like Logan Paul is bringing me the extra cash I need.”
      His lookalike Paul, meanwhile, has a reported net worth of $150 million, roughly £118 million.
      What is Not Logan Paul’s boxing record?
      Like many online personalities before him, Petersen has entered the world of boxing.
      As of January 18 2024 he has won one match as a celebrity boxer.
      Petersen made his debut at an Official Celebrity Boxing match in March 2023.
      The star was then confirmed to be taking part in the Misfits Boxing 12 event in January 2024.
      Petersen’s bout against Tristan Hamm was scheduled for Saturday, January 20th.
      The event, which also signed Chase DeMoor and Ed Matthews for the line-up, will be hosted in Leeds’ First Direct Arena with the capacity being approximately 13,000.
      Ahead of the match against Hamm, Petersen shared his excitement on social media.
      In one Instagram post he shared a picture of the poster for the event with the caption: “Flying across the ocean and getting My second influencer boxing Win, 2024 is going to be amazing for us all.”

      In another, he added: “Either they want to see me win. Or they wanna see me lose.
      “Either way they are watching and it’s paying off $$$ I do greatly appreciate all of the amazing support. Staying positive and hard on the grind.” More

      Love Island star Jack Fincham says he will fight KSI for FREE and claims he is a better boxer than Tommy Fury

      by

      JACK FINCHAM has offered to fight KSI for FREE – and claimed he is a better boxer than Tommy Fury. Fury became the first to beat YouTuber-turned boxer KSI after a scrappy six-round decision.

      The 2019 Love Islander admitted it was purely a money fight.
      But Fincham – who won the ITV reality show a year before Fury’s stint – insisted he would box KSI for nothing.
      He told BritishGambler.co.uk: “I’m not saying this to put it out there for loads of money; I’ll fight him for nothing.
      “I will fight him for free to prove the point.”
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Fury, 24, beat social media sensation Jake Paul, 26, last February by split-decision in Saudi Arabia.
      But his victory over KSI, 30, in November was for less convincing and the result divided opinions.
      Fincham, 31, said: “I’m just gonna say this honestly, because while in the boxing world he has transferred over to being professional.
      “I have a lot more experience than KSI, and going off his last performance and watching how Tommy dealt with that – I’ve got more experience than him as well from doing amateur fights as well.

      “I watched it and would have dealt with it so differently and would have beaten him [KSI] clearly.
      “It’s questionable if Tommy even won that to be honest.”
      Fincham and Fury are not the only Love Island contestants to have boxed.
      Idris Virgo, 30, is unbeaten and currently signed to KSI’s Misfits Boxing banner.
      And Fincham – who had 26 amateur bouts as a youngster – rated himself and Virgo above 10-0 Fury in terms of skill.
      He said: “Tommy’s third. I’d say for me the first is probably Idris Virgo for boxers that have been on Love Island. Idris first, me second and Tommy third.
      “That’s just me being honest and nothing against Tommy because I like him as a person, but boxing-wise, he’s good but he’s not out of this world. He’s just got a massive following; he’s a Fury at the end of the day.
      “He can box, he’s a good fighter, he’s strong, he’s in good shape, he dedicates himself but put it this way – he’s not unbeatable.

      Chelsea fans say why Ivan Toney should pick Blues over Arsenal on The Sun’s football show The Tap In

      CHELSEA Fan TV YouTube sensations Alex Harris and Charlie Patrick join Will Pugh and Izzy Barker on episode three of SunSport’s Tap In.

      They question Mauricio Pochettino’s decision to strip legend Thiago Silva of the captain’s armband and hand it to Reece James.
      “I know why he has done it. Silva probably isn’t going to be there next season. You want to build your squad around a player that’s going to be there.
      “But if I was in the dressing room I would be thinking why is a player that is always injured given the captaincy when I’m the one on the pitch.”
      They give bitter rivals Tottenham a ribbing after they signed frustrating ex-Blues winger Timo Werner.

      “It’s a weird one. He’s going on loan to Tottenham and it’s not like they’re getting an amazing player and he’s going to be unbelievable.”
      And Alex talks directly to Ivan Toney and gives an impassioned speech on why the Brentford striker would be mad to choose Manchester United or Tottenham over Stamford Bridge.
      “I don’t think the gap between Chelsea and Arsenal is that big.
      “If he can do it at Brentford he can do it at Chelsea. We’re a mid table club and we’re well below par but the gap is not that far.”

      And according to PFL CEO Peter Murray, plans are being put in place for Paul to debut in MMA with an announcement imminent.
      He told John Morgan: “Yeah, “Jake’s very active, A in boxing, B he’s training MMA, and we’re excited.
      “Multiple opponents are lining up to be part of his debut into MMA. We’ll be announcing those details, I would say, in the coming months.”

      But he bounced back in August with victory over ex-UFC star Nate Diaz over ten rounds.
      Paul and the PFL then offered £10million to rematch in the cage as part of their soon-to-be-launched “super-fight” series.
      But Diaz, 38, instead looks set to run it back with Jorge Masvidal, 40, who he lost to by doctor stoppage at UFC 244 in 2019.
