      I’ve fought Tommy Fury and he doesn’t have the heart of a fighter, don’t be surprised if he crumbles against KSI

      by

      TOMMY FURY has been accused of lacking the “heart of a fighter” which could lead to his demise against KSI. Fury, 24, is set to face YouTube, music and crossover boxing star KSI, 30, on October 14 in Manchester.

      It comes after he beat KSI’s arch enemy Jake Paul by split-decision in Saudi Arabia in February.
      But despite that victory, Fury’s former opponent Anthony Taylor – who he beat in 2021 – has hit out at the former Love Islander.
      Taylor, 34, told Neue Online Casinos: “This is a really, really close 50-50 match-up. Don’t be surprised if KSI knocks Tommy out.
      “We know Tommy can box a bit, but I can tell you from first hand experience, Tommy is like the lion in the wizard of Oz without a heart.

      “If KSI can make him uncomfortable, and stick with for those early rounds, and then land his power shots, don’t be surprised if Tommy crumbles and never gets back up.
      “He doesn’t have the heart of a fighter.”

      Paul snubbed a rematch with Fury to instead return over the weekend against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz.
      And Taylor – who formerly sparred the prankster-turned prizefighter – warned Diaz of his brutal power.

      He said: “I hear Jake Paul is looking superhuman in this camp, he’s training with killers and there’s no question he’s going to send Nate Diaz into retirement.
      “Respect to Diaz, he’s had a great career, but he’s not going to know what’s hit him when Jake detonates on his chin.
      “I’ve tasted Jake’s power and his right hand hits like a baseball bat.
      “Given Diaz’s age and how much smaller he is compared to Jake, I don’t see how Diaz can stand up to that kind of firepower.”

      He is taking on UFC legend Diaz, 38, who will make his boxing debut in Dallas this weekend.
      And Paul has claimed he is in the “best shape of my life” as he prepares for the “biggest moment of my life”.
      The 6-1 boxer posted several images of him in training camp, from sparring shots to him relaxing in the pool and chilling with friends.
      And he added a lengthy message which read: “We’re just days away from the biggest moment of my life and I’m sitting here on the couch reflecting on these photos and thankful for the best camp of my life.

      “We created so many amazing memories and trained harder than ever before.

      “This Saturday will be war and I’m prepared to die for victory.
      “I’ve been in the gym every single day since losing and this Saturday I’ll show the world how to come back from a loss like a f***ing warrior.

      “You only lose once you quit BOYYY!!
      “And on Saturday I will show the world that sometimes a loss puts you on the path you were supposed to be on. #PaulDiaz.”
      Paul takes on Diaz two months before his YouTube rival KSI faces Fury at the AO Arena in Manchester on October 14.
      Paul’s loss to Fury has pushed back a clash with KSI – a bout that would attract widespread attention online.
      But the American internet sensation insists he is not bothered about losing to Fury.
      He said: “It’s interesting that a loss can give you more conviction on what it is that you’re supposed to be doing and what you’re here to do. 
      “It can actually reset you on a proper path and that’s exactly what it did for me.
      “Now I’m feeling better than ever, stronger than ever, in the best shape of my life, best team around me and I couldn’t be happier.
      “That’s why I thank Tommy, I thank Tommy for winning. It put my life in the direction that it was supposed to be before and that is such a priceless thing.”

      I’ve sparred Jake Paul and his right hand is like being hit with a baseball bat, Nate Diaz won’t be able to take it

      by

      JAKE PAUL’S punching power has been compared to getting hit with a baseball bat, in a stark warning to Nate Diaz. The YouTuber-turned-boxer returns to the ring over the weekend in Texas against ex-UFC star Diaz.

      It will be Paul’s fourth MMA veteran opponent, having beaten Ben Askren, 39, Tyron Woodley, 41, and Anderson Silva, 48.
      Cage fighter and now influencer boxer Anthony Taylor, 34, sparred Paul, 26, in preparation for two of those bouts.
      And he warned of the brutal power the American has in his backhand, believing it will be too much for Diaz, 38, to handle.
      Taylor told Neue Online: “I hear Jake Paul is looking superhuman in this camp, he’s training with killers and there’s no question he’s going to send Nate Diaz into retirement.

      “Given Diaz’s age and how much smaller he is compared to Jake, I don’t see how Diaz can stand up to that kind of firepower.”
      Diaz walked out on the UFC to cross over to the boxing ring, leaving behind a trilogy decider with Conor McGregor, 34.

      But Taylor wants to see Paul snatch the McGregor super-fight instead and send both MMA superstars into retirement.
      He said: “If he makes it out of the third round i’d be surprised. Don’t blink.
      “Once he’s knocked out Nate, what I’d like to see Jake do next is bring Conor McGregor into the ring at a catchweight.
      “Conor is a sharpshooter, so it will be more of a difficult fight than Nate, but I expect Jake to rag doll Conor around the ring once he’s found his range and timing.
      “Ending the careers of Conor and Nate back to back would be a hell of an achievement.”

      I thank Tommy Fury for beating me, I couldn’t be happier and I feel stronger than ever, says Jake Paul

      JAKE PAUL has THANKED Tommy Fury for handing him his first loss. The YouTuber-turned boxer suffered a split-decision defeat to Fury in Saudi Arabia in February.

      But it sparked a complete overhaul in Paul’s camp as he revamped his team with new coaches and schedules.
      So when reflecting on the night he thought would never come, Paul is grateful for Fury beating him.
      He said: “It’s interesting that a loss can give you more conviction on what it is that you’re supposed to be doing and what you’re here to do. 
      “It can actually reset you on a proper path and that’s exactly what it did for me.

      Paul, 26, snubbed an immediate rematch with Fury, 24, to instead return against Nate Diaz, this weekend in Texas live on DAZN PPV.
      The defeat in the Middle East proved a blockbuster success, with over 800,000 box office buys.

      But Paul predicts his comeback bout against ex-UFC star Diaz, 38, will top those numbers despite losing his unbeaten record.
      He said: “After losing to Tommy I landed myself a bigger name and a bigger fight in terms of the ticket sales, the commercial pay-per-view.

      “Everything is pointing towards this being the biggest event ever and I didn’t think that would be possible after losing to Tommy. 
      “So it’s interesting, I guess you can’t predict these things but I guess the number one thing is if people want to still see my fight then I’ll still have big fights.

      “It’s really the fanbase that drives me, right. It’s like Deontay Wilder losing a couple of times to Tyson Fury but everyone still wants to see him fight. 
      “It all just depends and it’s really how you go out. If you’re going to get knocked out but if you lose a split-decision and it’s a war and it’s a good fight, it’s a lot easier to come back from that.” 
      Paul still plans to rematch Fury but insisted the opportunity to finally fight Diaz was too good to pass up on.
      He explained: “Nate has a massive name, he’s a massive pay-per-view draw of the UFC times and to me that’s exciting. 
      “I haven’t yet fought a massive pay-per-view draw in the prime of their career while they’re still hot and active.

      “So, to me that’s super exciting and there was that beef that was there and this online banter that was there back and forth that we’ve been trying to and wanting to fight for a long time. 
      “Then finally the stars aligned.”

      I was one of Jake Paul’s sparring partners for Nate Diaz fight, two things really impressed me and won my respect

      by

      JAKE PAUL revamped his entire training team following his first loss. The YouTuber-turned boxer was beaten in February, suffering a split-decision defeat to Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia.

      So for his return bout over the weekend – against Nate Diaz – Paul went back to the drawing board.
      He parted ways with ex-cruiserweight contender BJ Flores and his co-trainer Danny Smith.
      And instead Paul re-hired boxing legend Shane Mosley, his first ever trainer, to come into the camp as an advisor.
      And Theotrice Chambers will now act as head coach in the American’s Puerto Rico base camp.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Paul, 26, has also worked with some top-flight sparring partners, including 8-0 middleweight Joshua Pagan, 23.
      And Pagan, whose promoter Dmitriy Salita put him in touch with Paul’s team, gave an insight into the training camp.
      He told SunSport: “This camp was really great. We trained at 10am every day, followed by strength and conditioning later in the day.
      “It was pretty similar to what a day in my camp is like. Jake’s work ethic and willingness to learn is what impressed me about him.

      “He comes into the gym focused and ready to work, and I respect that because that is how I am when it is time to work.”
      Pagan and his father had initially expressed interest in working with Paul’s coach Chambers. 
      So Salita then made it known and before long the prospect flew out to sunny Puerto Rico for sparring.

      Paul prepares to face his fourth ex-UFC star, having beaten Ben Askren, 39, Tyron Woodley, 41, and Anderson Silva, 48.
      And Pagan expects a similar result, as he said: “My prediction for the Nate Diaz fight is a unanimous decision for Jake.
      “I think Jake just has too many tools in his arsenal, and what he is learning in this camp is going to pay off and show come fight night.”
      Paul snubbed a rematch with Fury, 24, to instead face Diaz, 38, but Pagan has urged him to go back in for the sequel right after.
      He said: “Jake should definitely have the rematch with Tommy Fury after this fight.
      “I feel like he will win this time around due to his changes in camp and preparation.”

      Fury, the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, is the bookies’ favourite to win the Manchester melee.
      And Paul reckons TNT won’t let KSI – real name Olajide Williams – see the final round.
      He told Mirror Fighting: “I think Tommy knocks him out in like less than five rounds.”
      KSI thought he’d picked up his fourth win in a row in May when he stopped self-proclaimed billionaire Joe Fournier in the second round of their Wembley Arena war.

      But replays showed he hit pal of former heavyweight champion David Haye with an illegal elbow and the KO was overturned to a No Contest.

      The Problem Child added: “I mean [KSI] is doing these gimmick WWE fights up until now.

      Logan Paul feared brother Jake would kill himself after life spiralled out of control… before boxing saved him

      LOGAN PAUL feared his brother Jake would kill himself after his life spiralled out of control – before boxing saved him.The American was at the height of his YouTube career when he began to get into trouble with the law.

      Jake Paul’s life spiralled out of control at the height of his YouTube career
      He was slammed by neighbours for throwing wild parties and even had his $10million Los Angeles mansion raided by FBI where guns were confiscated.
      It led to sponsorships and opportunities being cut, with the social media personality on the brink of losing it all.
      In a new episode of the Netflix documentary series Untold about Jake, dad Greg said: “Jake was so close to being nothing, gone, done. Literally two months from being flat broke.”
      Jake, 26, admitted: “It’s not easy to be hate by the whole entire world. It creates a very dark mental place.”

      Logan, 28, was also no stranger to controversy and online hate – but he opened up about fearing the worst for his younger brother.
      He said: “Both my dad and I felt worried for my brother’s life. Jake’s always been pretty emotionally unpredictable and volatile.
      “There was a point where we were both legitimately concerned that Jake was going to kill himself.
      “He needed purpose and I didn’t know what he was going to do. What’s he good at?”
      Most read in Boxing
      Logan would help Jake find the purpose he so desperately craved.
      In 2018, they would fight on the same night against British rivals KSI and brother Deji.
      Logan drew with KSI but Jake would beat Deji in an event few knew would change the landscape of boxing.
      Jake would go on to set his sights on a career in boxing, which in turn finally got him back on the right track.

      Since his professional debut in 2020, the prankster-turned-prizefighter has fought seven times.
      He has beaten ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva on the way.
      But in February, Jake was beaten for the first time, losing a split-decision to boxing rival Tommy Fury, 24.
      Now, he returns over the weekend in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, in a bout he insists is the start of his comeback.

      Jake Paul loses $1000 to UFC rising star as he is stunned in boxing skill challenge

      by

      JAKE PAUL lost $1000 in a charity bet with UFC star Bo Nickal after the two engaged in a boxing challenge.The pair tested their reflexes with a reflex ball, a tennis ball which is connected to a boxers head by string.

      The two engaged in a charity bet after Nickal’s interviewCredit: youtube / bo nickal
      The aim is to keep the ball airborne for as long as possible by punching it in a manner akin to doing keepy-uppies in football.
      The two were keen to point out that the challenge is not necessarily indicative of someone’s boxing ability before partaking in the challenge – but did say that it is a good way to test your reflexes.
      Paul and Nickal put down a $1000 charity bet, with the loser set to pay the amount to Paul’s foundation Boxing Bullies.
      Nickal managed to hit the ball eight times before dropping it, with Paul not able to watch in order to compare scores.
      READ MORE BOXING NEWS
      Paul only managed to hit the ball six times, ensuring he lost the charity bet.
      But, both agreed that they would pay $1000 to the charity whose mission statement is to: “instil self confidence, leadership, and courage within the youth through the sport of boxing while using our platform, voice, and social media to fight back against bullying.”
      The podcast episode was the latest insight we’ve got into Paul as he prepares to fight UFC legend Nate Diaz in Vegas this weekend.
      Paul is in the surprising position of entering the fight as favourite – with Diaz not having a boxing background.
      Most read in Boxing
      This being despite Diaz being a legend of MMA and UFC and doing more than most to put the sport on the map.
      After the challenge the two discussed their philosophies as part of the Bo Gets Betr Podcast.
      Paul explained how his dad is key in helping him stay motivated and continue to improve on his boxing game.
      He said: “My dad says this and I’m going to steal this, shout out Greg Paul; ‘the road to success is always under construction so it’s always changing’ – some moments might be easier than others, some might be harder than others,”
      He then continued: “Some days you might not be feeling great and others you might be feeling like ‘why the f*** am I under attack from the Universe?’
      “And so you’re always going to be constantly changing and evolving but the No.1 thing is relentlessness. When you try to do something great, people are going to f***ing rip you down.
      “They’ll tear you apart, that just comes with the critics and that is the biggest thing.
      “You just have to have thick skin to push through all of that and remain committed to your goal and not let any of that get in your way – easier said than done, it kills most people. So are you made for this?

      “Do you want to achieve your goal more than you want to mope about the critics and all the hard work and all the things that you have to do to get to your goal?
      “That’s something that you have to come to terms with within your own mind and inspiration is a fleeting thing, it’s not always there.” More
