      by

      MIKE TYSON is ready to make a stunning return to WWE to face Logan Paul and vowed to “kick his ass” – without even being paid. Tyson famously made his professional wrestling debut in 1998 while serving a boxing ban for biting Evander Holyfield’s ear the year before.

      And he later served as a special enforcer at WrestleMania 14 for Shawn Michaels and Steve Austin, earning $3million.
      Tyson again featured for the WWE in 2010 as a special guest host of Raw and two years later he was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
      YouTube star Paul – also a crossover boxer – is the latest celebrity to make a splash in the WWE ring.
      And Tyson, 56, has opened the door to challenging the social media sensation.

      He told Forbes: “Have you ever seen me wrestle before?
      “I would do it! I would kick his ass, yes I would do it. Even though I love him, though.
      “This is what I found out about WrestleMania: Everybody says ‘that’s fake, that’s fake.’ But the check is real.
      “Deep down inside—don’t let [WWE] know—I would do this for free.”

      Paul, 28, was linked with a boxing match against Tyson after his June 2021 exhibition with Floyd Mayweather, 46.
      The American hasn’t boxed since, having focused his efforts on the WWE after signing a deal with them.
      And Tyson talked down the chances of fighting Paul for real, despite making a boxing comeback of his own in 2020 for an exhibition bout.
      He said: “I don’t think he’s really that serious [about a boxing match], but I’m just happy he’s receiving the success that he has.
      “For my ego, I feel I had so much to do with that.”

      KSI says he is ‘very close’ to Tommy Fury fight but fears a win will scare Jake Paul away from bitter grudge match

      by

      But that was until Paul suffered defeat for the first time, losing a split-decision to Fury in February in Saudi Arabia.
      The American snubbed a rematch or talks with KSI to instead return on August 5 in Texas against 38-year-old ex-UFC star Nate Diaz.
      So KSI will refuse to wait around for Paul and instead try to one-up his arch enemy by finishing what he started.
      KSI told SunSport: “He doesn’t want it. I want Tommy Fury.

      “I want Tommy Fury, simple as that. I’m not going to waste my time with Jake Paul.
      “He wants to fight Nate Diaz, an MMA fighter who isn’t known for his boxing; black belt in jujitsu, blah, blah, blah.
      “Maybe in the UFC ring it would be a bit more entertaining, in the MMA ring yeah, but in the boxing ring everyone just knows Jake is going to win that.
      “I’m not just going to waste my time, I’m going to go straight for Tommy and do what Jake Paul couldn’t.”

      KSI, 29, returns on May 13 at Wembley Arena against millionaire nightclub tycoon-turned 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40.
      But in the background, his promoter Kalle Sauerland revealed ongoing negotiations with Fury, 23, and his dad John.
      And KSI insisted the talks to face the brother of unbeaten heavyweight champion Tyson is no publicity stunt.
      He said: “It’s so funny, because a lot of people think it’s all cap.
      “A lot of people think I’m just chatting out my a***. Does it look like I’m chatting out my a***?
      “We’re working on it, man. Just a few thing but I think we’re very close and I’m pretty sure, fingers crossed by next week, we’ll see.”
      I’m not just going to waste my time, I’m going to go straight for Tommy and do what Jake Paul couldn’t.KSI
      KSI’s plan would deny Paul, 26, the chance to avenge his loss to Fury in a rematch many expected would follow.
      But the YouTuber, rapper and influencer boxer also believes beating the 9-0 British prospect could scare his nemesis off for good.
      KSI said: “I’m trying to think, do people still want to see it after I beat Tommy Fury?
      “Because then at that point everyone will be in my favour, everyone will be like, ‘Jake has no chance.’ And maybe Jake would also think that.
      “Maybe he’ll just avoid me and maybe he’ll just be happy with fighting MMA fighters.
      “Obviously, I want to destroy Jake, but it takes two to tango, man. If he doesn’t want to fight me, what can I do?

      The social media sensation gave fans a glimpse into his preparation as he fired off combinations on the heavy bag.

      KSI told his Misfits promotion: “This is why we don’t like showing footage.

      “Because, every time we do it terrifies our opponent and then they pull out. Happened with Alex Wassabi, happened with Dillon Danis.
      “And I’m hoping it doesn’t happen with Joe Fournier because I’m a scary guy, I’m a dangerous guy and when I’m in the ring people understand the levels and they get scared.”
      KSI, 29, also revealed he will turn his attention to Tommy Fury, 23, if he beats Fournier at Wembley Arena.

      So KSI is ready to move on and instead focus on Fury, having been left unimpressed with the bout in the Middle East.
      He said: “I’m very serious, I feel like I can destroy him.
      “I saw what Jake Paul did to Tommy Fury and I was like, ‘Wow, Jake is trash.’ Put me in with Tommy Fury and I’ll show everyone the levels.
      “And I know people are writing me off, saying I’m s***, I’m trash, I’m nowhere near Tommy Fury’s level.
      “And I’m like, ‘Alright, let’s see then.’ Put me in the ring with him, and let’s see and I’ll make you a f****g believer. Simple.”
