      Inside Jake Paul’s ‘worst’ training camp for Tommy Fury, from struggling to breathe to hurting over Julia Rose split

      by

      JAKE PAUL ignored pleas to pull out of his fight against Tommy Fury after having the “worst” training camp of his life. Paul was beaten via split-decision in the Saudi Arabia grudge match and gave a host of excuses for his loss.

      That included a bizarre WET DREAM the night before the bout while also complaining of an arm injury.
      But trainer Danny Smith – who is now not working with the American – claimed Paul was seriously ill in the build up but refused to withdraw.
      Smith said on the Full Disclosure podcast: “The thing about Jake in that fight is, he had Covid.
      “We maybe sparred maybe four times for the fight. We left our training camp in Puerto Rico, went to Dubai, we ran maybe only three times.

      “I mean it was one of those situations where we shouldn’t really have been fighting because of the sickness.
      “And coming down the stretch two weeks before the fight he had hurt his shoulder so we only sparred maybe two times.
      “It was the worst camp we ever had and Jake didn’t want to pull out of this fight because he didn’t know if Tommy would come back and take it.”
      Fury, 24, had twice pulled out of the bout beforehand due to a rib injury and US visa issue.

      So it left Paul refusing to risk another cancellation despite Smith saying he had an EKG – which checks for signs of heart disease.
      The coach continued: “We had to have an EKG because he was having some issues breathing. This was like three weeks before the fight.
      “He went to see a doctor with his dad and we all talked and was like, ‘Hey man, he doesn’t need to be fighting.’
      “We didn’t know what was going on with his heart with the Covid, we don’t know what will happen in the ring, if he’ll get tired we just didn’t know.
      “His dad was in agreeance and when he had the EGK and they said it was OK and he had the clear, we made weight by sitting in the steam room two times a day.”
      Smith also said Paul was suffering from a break up with his influencer ex-girlfriend Julia Rose during preparations to fight Fury.

      He added: “He had just broke up with his girlfriend so he was highly emotional. That was damaging.
      “And I didn’t know how bad it was because Jake’s a pretty private guy and very tough guy, strong mentality and will.
      “He doesn’t share a lot and things that really bother him. But he told me one time, he didn’t look so hot in sparring and he was feeling bad over Julia and things like that.
      “And I was like, ‘Well I understand and I’m glad you’ve told me now but I wish you told me before sparring so we could’ve made adjustments’.”
      Paul, 26, bounced back from defeat to Fury and in August beat ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, over eight rounds.
      And before the comeback victory he went public with new girlfriend Jutta Leerdam, a 24-year-old Dutch speedskater.

      Paul now returns on December 15 against 10-1-1 professional boxer Andre August, 35.
      But he split from Smith after his first boxing loss and instead linked up with Theo Chambers of the famed Kronk gym in Detroit.

      by

      TOMMY FURY has given a definitive prediction on who would win between Jake Paul and KSI. Fury emerged with bragging rights after two years of feuding with Paul by winning their February grudge match by split-decision.

      He then went onto beat KSI on points controversially in October.
      The blockbuster YouTube grudge match between KSI and Paul remains on the cards and Fury sees only one winner.
      He told FightHype: “I think Jake Paul knocks him out.
      “He just knows what he’s doing. He’s actually not bad. Jake’s better than some boxers in natural boxing.

      “I believe Jake Paul would win that easily to be fair.”
      KSI, 30, appealed his loss to Fury, 24, and announced he will take some time away from boxing.
      Meanwhile Paul, 26, bounced back from defeat by beating ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, over ten rounds in August.
      And he now returns on December 15 against 10-1-1 professional boxer Andre August, 35, as he eyes a rematch with Fury.

      He even messaged his old rival following the win against KSI, which he was ringside in Manchester for.
      Fury recently told the Daily Mail: “He messaged me the other day and said, ‘Congratulations brother, you know, I could tell there’s something wrong with your hand.’ All this sort of stuff, being extra nice.
      “Trying to get that fight on. At the end of the day, it’s one of them, I think the fight is inevitable.
      “He knows that I’m his biggest draw and for me now sitting at the top I’ve done things that he hasn’t.
      “Him and KSI have been talking about fighting for years, I’ve literally came and inside 12 months beat the pair of them, on their own show.
      “So I don’t know, it is what it is. It’s my choice now, no matter what I’m the head of the crossover thing now.
      “It’s alright me saying it because I’ve beat the two best men in it. So whoever I want to fight next it’s up to me. I can pick and choose these guys.”

      And he is so eager to fight the Irishman that he has even offered to do it in the MMA cage.
      McGregor is building towards a UFC return having been out since July 2021 when he broke his leg.
      And his manager Audi Attar is open to the prospect of a blockbuster with Paul after the former two-weight UFC champion makes his return.
      Attar told Fox: “I think anything’s always possible. You never say never. It’s all about how things line up.

      “I think the challenge with combat sports is looking that far ahead. You never say never.
      “Getting back into the octagon is step one, going in and handling business there.
      “Then, not looking past that, but then, obviously, when you get past that, look at your options and see what’s next.”
      Paul this year signed with the Professional Fighters League, a rival promotion to the UFC which is set to host his MMA debut.

      But first, he returns on Friday, December 15 against 10-1-1 boxer Andre August, 35, in Florida.
      Paul, 26, suffered defeat for the first time in February losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.
      The American bounced back in August by beating ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, over ten rounds in a performance slammed by McGregor.
      He posted on X: “That was abysmal last night, Paul is a r****d, absolute garbage he is.
      “Moving backwards like I was watching a fight in rewind. Holy garbage. Embarrassing stuff all round in my opinion.”
      In the post-fight press conference, Paul snubbed McGregor, 35, as he said: “I don’t care about that guy…
      “I want Nate in MMA. I want more professional boxers and I want Canelo.”

      Meanwhile younger sibling Tommy is 10-0 but shot to mainstream fame on the 2019 edition of reality TV show Love Island.
      His celebrity status has seen Tommy, 24, earn massive payday fights against YouTube’s biggest boxing stars Jake Paul and KSI.
      Tommy edged past Paul, 26, via split-decision in February and controversially beat KSI, 30, also on points in October.

      by

      ROMAN FURY became the FIFTH in his family to shine on Channel 5 on Friday night. The cruiserweight – who had no amateur background – went 3-0 with a brutal knockout of Bradley Davies.

      And it would have been seen by masses as it featured on free-to-air TV on Channel 5.
      The station has been somewhat of a happy hunting ground for the Fury family.
      After all, it is where superstar Tyson made his name.
      The current WBC heavyweight world champion had several fights on Channel 5 in his early days when signed to Mick Hennessy.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      In 2011, he beat Derek Chisora over 12 rounds for the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles.
      It was considered an upset at the time and a massive THREE MILLION viewers tuned in.
      Fury’s later wins against Nicolai Firtha, Neven Pajkic, Martin Rogan, Vinny Maddalone, Kevin Johnson and Steve Cunningham were also on Channel 5.
      Some of 35-year-old Tyson’s relatives also fought on his undercards on the terrestrial TV channel.

      Cousin Phil boxed on the night of Tyson’s 2011 win over Chisora, losing on the undercard to Lee Noble.
      He retired in 2012 at 13-3, winning his last three bouts.
      Tyson’s brother Young Hughie’s last fight against Imantas Davidaitis, which he won over four rounds, was aired on Channel 5.
      He also retired from boxing in 2015 at 6-1 but remains a part of Tyson’s team.
      Cousin Hughie – like the Gypsy King – made early strides on the channel while signed with Hennessy.
      His 2018 KO against Sam Sexton garnered a huge 2.9m viewers.
      Hughie has not fought since his October 2021 stoppage of Christian Hammer amid a health battle.
      The only big name from the family not to be on the platform is Tommy, who shot to mainstream fame in 2019 on reality TV show Love Island.
      Tommy, 24, boxed exclusively on BT Sports under Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren.

      That included a pay-per-view fight against YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul, 26, which he won on points with over 800,000 buys.
      But after leaving Warren, Tommy beat Paul’s arch enemy KSI in DAZN PPV bout, which organisers say sold 1.3m buys.

      And only a month later, he defeated WWE icon Rey Mysterio to win the United States Championship.
      The winning streak has left Paul with a decision on how he will commit his future.
      And he told Fox Business: “I think I’m retired from boxing.
      “I’ve done enough going fully undefeated at 25-0. I’m going to be a wrestler now.

      “No more money in boxing, every company is going broke. Full-time wrestler. Beat Rey Mysterio. Fair and square for the US Championship.
      “It feels great. It was a dominant performance. Some frog splashes, some punches, it feels good.”
      Paul, 28, first stepped into boxing in 2018 and drew against KSI, 30, only to lose the rematch a year later when they turned professional.
      The pair are now friends and business partners following the launch of their Prime hydration drink.

      Paul also faced boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, 46, in a 2021 exhibition and beat Danis, 30, over six rounds.
      But his future looks to be in the WWE after beating Mysterio at the Crown Jewel pay-per-view event for the US title.
      Despite Paul’s boxing future looking in doubt, he has no shortage of challengers in the WWE.
      He said: “I have to defend this belt. There are going to be people coming after me. Seth Rollins, LA Knight, Cody Rhodes.
      “Whoever wants it, they can come get it. Mr. Bad Bunny. Whoever wants it can come get it. I have stuff to do in WWE.”

      Meanwhile, X Factor star Quickenden, 35, won his MMA debut with a first-round knockout of comedian Paul Smith.
      And with Oktagon MMA coming to Newcastle on January 27, Chalmers, 36, has the perfect bout to bring him back into the cage.
      He said: ”This is a message for Jake Quickenden, I saw your MMA debut the other day. It was very impressive.
      “I’ve been out of the MMA loop for four years now, but I know Oktagon has a big show in Newcastle and I am the hometown hero.

      “You are 1-0, and I haven’t stepped foot in an MMA ring for four years. Let’s get the party started!”
      All five of Chalmers’ wins in the cage came by stoppage, either from a knockout or submission.
      He has since had four boxing bouts, winning his professional debut on points against Alexander Zeledon.

      Quickenden was meanwhile quick to shut down any comparisons to influencer boxers after his first pro MMA win.
      He said: “They don’t have to do a weight cut, they don’t have to train for 10 months to learn 5 different disciplines.
      “We did a proper weight cut, we lived a fighter’s life, sorry I’m quite emotional about this.”

      Carl Froch slams Eddie Hearn after talking up Jake Paul vs Wayne Rooney as ex-champ fears for ‘the state of boxing’

      by

      CARL FROCH fears for “the state of boxing” after his former promoter pitched the idea of Jake Paul fighting Wayne Rooney. Froch was under Eddie Hearn’s banner for the final stages of his career, where he reigned as super-middleweight champion.

      He retired in 2014 after knocking out rival George Groves in front of 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.
      Froch now works as a pundit and even runs his own YouTube channel, often giving scathing opinions on YouTuber-turned boxer Paul.
      But this time it was his ex-promoter Hearn who faced the wrath of the retired British boxing legend.
      It came after he teased the idea of Paul fighting Manchester United legend and now Birmingham manager Rooney at Old Trafford.
      READ MORE IN b
      Froch, 46, told Casino Alpha: “I don’t know why Eddie Hearn is talking about Jake Paul versus Wayne Rooney, Rooney’s a football manager.
      “I don’t like the way some boxing promoters are going down the route of crossover fights because a former football player versus a YouTuber is a load of rubbish and I don’t get it. 
      “I don’t get why a proper promoter is talking up a match between Wayne Rooney and Jake Paul.
      “But does that tell us something about the state of boxing at the minute? Would Wayne Rooney v Jake Paul be the biggest fight that Eddie Hearn can make at the minute?”

      Paul, 26, is 7-1 as a boxer with his only defeat coming via split-decision in February against rival Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.
      Meanwhile Rooney, 38, did box as an amateur in his school years but he retired from football in 2021 to move into coaching.
      Although Hearn revealed the ex-England captain still fancies his chances in the boxing ring.
      He told Rio Ferdinand: “I’ve actually spoke to Wayne a few times about the Jake Paul fight.
      “Normally, if he has a couple of glasses of red he’ll fire in a message to me at night going, ‘Listen, I wanna fight that geezer.’
      “Wayne can fight, he had a couple of amateur fights – but him against Jake Paul at Old Trafford, that’s actually a makeable fight.”
