    Paul and MrBeast, whose real name is James Donaldson, aren’t the most expected of sparring duos, but it appears this is exactly what they’ve become.
    The two posed for photos which were subsequently shared on their X – formerly known as Twitter – profiles.
    Donning a bright blue pair of gloves and equally eye-catching pink shorts, Paul looked absolutely ripped in the snaps.
    “Training for the @elonmusk vs Zuckerberg undercard,” MrBeast jokingly captioned his post.

    While Paul simply said: “Good rounds with @MrBeast.”
    The shots had one fan saying: “If Logan fought like he does in WWE, MrBeast is not waking up for 2 days.”
    As one added: “Not gonna lie.. I kind of want to see Jimmy in a boxing match now.”
    And Paul’s physique has drawn plenty of attention recently, with one Instagram follower calling him a “Beast!!” following his most recent post.

    But Garry, 25, told MMAFighting: “I am Conor’s biggest fan.
    “I am literally the first fighter of a generation to make it to the UFC because of Conor’s rise.

    “You can still do business with both, you can still talk to both, you can still go to both of their houses and have dinner.
    “What they have has nothing to do with me. That’s called being an adult.”

    Eddie Hearn trolls Jake Paul over ‘awful’ Nate Diaz fight and says YouTuber couldn’t win regional title

    Paul, 26, dropped MMA legend Diaz in the fifth round on his way to picking up his seventh professional victory, although the knockdown did little to impress Hearn.
    During an appearance on The MMA Hour, the Matchroom Boxing chief said of the fight: “It was awful.
    “Don’t get me wrong, the event was unbelievable. You did a great job.
    “Brilliant. But when you’re talking about — you know MMA like the back of your hand.

    “I know boxing like the back of my hand, and I’m watching that like [face in his hands], ‘This is so bad.’”
    Problem Child Paul has aspirations of eventually challenging for a world title, something Hearn believes is the ultimate pipe dream.
    He said: “We have something in the U.K. called an area title, which is in a specific radius — it’s kind of like a state title.
    “These guys wouldn’t win a state title – that’s the level they’re fighting at.

    “But listen, props to Nate. He definitely didn’t have ability, but what he did have was grit.
    “But Jake just doesn’t have the ability or the experience to break someone down and stop them. And I was convinced he would.”
    Paul lamented his failure to stop Diaz, who has only ever been finished once in MMA.
    But Hearn doesn’t believe he had the skill-set to stop the fight inside the distance.
    He said: “The reason that Nate didn’t get stopped is that Jake didn’t have the ability.
    “He doesn’t know how to break a fighter down, cut off the ring, beat him up, and stop him.
    “But I give my props to Nate: super tough. Super tough. But you’re talking about low, low level in terms of standard.”
    Paul is expected to return to the ring later this year, although there currently isn’t a frontrunner to be his ninth professional opponent.

    So KSI, 30, turned his attention to Fury, 24, and after four long months of negotiations, a deal was struck.
    KSI claimed Paul rejected the chance to settle their bitter score so it led him to challenge the American’s conqueror instead.

    Mason Greenwood’s entourage ‘threatened to destroy fan’s camera for filming training session for YouTube channel’

    MASON Greenwood’s entourage allegedly threatened to destroy a fan’s camera after he filmed the footballer training.The clip, posted to YouTube earlier today, showed the Manchester United striker, 21, kicking a ball around with his pals.
    Pictures of Mason Greenwood at a training session have emerged as his future at Manchester United remains uncertain
    The 21-year-old striker was seen doing ball drills and taking shots at goal
    Greenwood’s entourage allegedly threatened a fan
    The England star hasn’t played for United since he was arrested for attempted rape, assault and coercive control in January 2022.
    He was charged in October but the charges were dropped in February by the Crown Prosecution Service.
    His club are expected to soon make a decision on his future.
    Now John Gubba, who runs the Man Utd The Religion YouTube channel, has revealed that Greenwood’s entourage was aggressive toward him as he filmed the training session.
    He says he was filming at a “publicly accessible venue with no security” and “away from Manchester United”.
    But the filmmaker claims he was approached by a “thug” from Greenwood’s entourage who said: “If you weren’t surrounded by witnesses we would rip that camera out of your hand and destroy your equipment.”
    Greenwood, who became a father last month, was joined by his own dad and baby at the public training ground today.
    It comes as Manager Erik ten Hag and the majority of the first team have suggested they were open to the idea of bringing the footballer back.
    Most read in Football
    But United’s women’s team were understood to have reservations, while sponsors were left concerned about being linked to the footballer.
    A source said previously: “All the players believe he deserves a second chance because he’s innocent in the eyes of the law.
    “He didn’t have the opportunity to clear his name in court because the charges were dropped, so the players feel like he has been left in limbo.
    “They know it will be difficult but they are willing to support him through it and protect him.
    “Some of the younger players came through the academy with him so there’s a loyalty to him.”
    It is not the first time Greenwood has been spotted training outside of Carrington.
    In June he worked on his close control and shooting in a 90-minute session on an £85-an-hour pitch.
    It was the first time he had been pictured at a training session since his arrest.
    He had grown his hair since he was last pictured — and was not wearing Nike boots after the firm ended their sponsorship deal.
    Greenwood joined Utd aged just six and rose through the ranks to land himself a regular spot on the first team.
    In 2019, he became the youngest footballer to play for United in the Champions League when he took to the pitch aged 17.
    Greenwood has made 129 appearances in total for the Red Devils and netted 35 goals.

    The Sun has contacted Greenwood for comment.

    When asked about potentially facing The Notorious, the 26-year-old said: “I don’t care about that guy.
    “He needs to go to rehab. I want Nate in MMA. I want more professional boxers and I want Canelo.”

    “All credit to my team, my conditioning, going ten rounds in my eighth fight, it’s unheard of.
    “I’ve only been boxing for three years, he’s a UFC legend, I was watching this kid growing up.” More
