Photo: Jake Paul / Instagram   Jake Paul has become one of the biggest names in boxing, especially after his recent fight against boxing legend Mike Tyson . The 27-year-old took on the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion in an eight-round match in Texas. The fight was streamed live on Netflix and drew massive attention. Paul won the fight by unanimous decision, bringing his record to 11-1. While his victory boosted his fame, the match didn’t live up to expectations, as Tyson struggled to perform like he did in his prime. Paul is now focused on his next move. He revealed that Tommy Fury , the only man to beat him, turned down an $8 million offer to fight on Netflix. Fury, who defeated Paul in February 2023 in a split decision, chose not to accept the lucrative rematch deal.

He turned it down and now fighting an MMA fighter… No...

Photo: Instagram/Tommy Fury Rising light heavyweight/cruiserweight prospect Tommy Fury , brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury , finds himself at a crossroads in his boxing journey.  Despite being called out by fighters well above his current ranking, including world champions, Fury is carefully weighing his options.  Fury gained significant exposure from his crossover bouts against social media stars Jake Paul and KSI , handing both their first defeats as boxers earlier this year. Photo: Instagram/Tommy Fury While rematches with Paul or KSI could bring substantial financial gains, seasoned professionals are also eager to step into the ring with Fury.  In a recent statement to The Daily Mail, Fury acknowledged the unique position he's in: "I don’t recall this happening before, where champions are wanting to fight people that are right at the bottom of the pecking order. I’m just happy to be in this position." He emphasized the financial allure of crossover figh...

Photo: Instagram/Francis Ngannou Francis Ngannou , the former UFC heavyweight champion, has recently made headlines by signing a contract with the Professional Fighters League (PFL) . After parting ways with the UFC in January due to a failure to reach an agreement on a new contract, Ngannou, hailing from Cameroon, has been a free agent. This acquisition by the PFL is a significant achievement, as Ngannou is widely recognized as one of the top heavyweights in the world. In the PFL, Ngannou will participate in the newly established pay-per-view Super Fight division. Unlike the league's regular seasonal format, this division will feature one-off events, with fighters earning 50% of the revenue generated from their fights. Photo: Instagram/Francis Ngannou achieved an impressive record by winning 12 out of his 14 fights, during his time in the UFC. Notable athletes who have also signed up for this division include two-time lightweight champion Kayla Harrison and YouTube personality ...

Photo: Instagram/KSI According to Mail Sport, KSI 's recent victory over Joe Fournier in the cross-over boxing scene may be in jeopardy. The boxing authorities plan to review footage of the fight after KSI appeared to land an illegal elbow on Fournier. KSI won the fight with a brutal second-round knockout over Fournier, who is 40 years old. However, footage of the final exchanges of the fight appeared to show KSI land an illegal elbow on Fournier. Boxing authorities will review the footage to check for the apparent elbow and then make a decision. The incident occurred in the second round of the fight after KSI had landed a huge overhand right that sent Fournier stumbling backwards. Photo: Instagram/KSI has been marked by his ability to consistently reinvent himself and find success in new areas. He has become a true multimedia star, with accomplishments across YouTube, music, boxing, and business. KSI's knockout victory has been put in jeopardy after replays appeared to show t...

Photo: Instagram/Jake Paul Jake Paul has criticized Floyd Mayweather for setting a precedent of avoiding high-risk fights to maintain an undefeated record in boxing. Paul's comments were made in an interview with Sky Sports F1 ahead of his fight with former UFC fighter Nate Diaz . Paul expressed frustration that many big fighters are unwilling to put their records and belts on the line by fighting against other well-known fighters. Photo: Instagram/Jake Paul's rise in the boxing world, from viral videos to viral knockouts. He argues that Mayweather's retirement with a 50-0 record has contributed to this trend. Paul stated that "if you lose, you're kind of swept under the rug in boxing," and that it is important for more champions to fight other big names, like Ryan Garcia did when he faced Tank Gervonta Davis , even if they ultimately lose. Paul recently lost his own record after being defeated by Tommy Fury in a highly publicized bout. However, he remain...

Photo: Instagram/Jake Paul Jake Paul , fresh off his first boxing defeat to Tommy Fury , has announced that he will be returning to the ring to face MMA star Nate Diaz on August 5. The bout will take place on DAZN pay-per-view at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. In a press release through his promotion company, MVP, Paul stated that his last defeat was the best thing that could have happened to his professional boxing aspirations. Photo: Instagram/Jake Paul and Tommy Fury go head to head on their boxing match last February. He believes that the world thinks he is vulnerable, but he is now more focused than ever. Diaz has been with the UFC since 2007 and is currently an MMA free agent after years of success in the promotion. Diaz and Paul have been trading insults through the media for 18 months, and this fight has been a long time coming. Diaz is known for his willingness to take on all comers and engage in exciting fights, having had a pair of high-profile bouts with Conor McG...

Photo: Instagram/Jorge Masvidal  Jorge Masvidal has made it clear that he has no interest in fighting Jake Paul after the YouTuber-turned-boxer's unbeaten record was broken by Tommy Fury . Masvidal, who is still under contract with the UFC, had been one of the many MMA names that Paul had called out to face in a boxing match. However, the fight never materialized, and Paul went on to fight and defeat Anderson Silva. Photo: Instagram/Jorge Masvidal  Masvidal acknowledged that if Paul had remained undefeated and become a household name, he would have been interested in fighting him. But now, he sees no purpose in it. Masvidal, who takes on Gilbert Burns in the co-main event of UFC 287, has already acknowledged that this could be his last fight if he loses his fourth outing in a row, potentially leading to a UFC exit. Meanwhile, Paul is set to make his MMA debut for the PFL in 2023. Masvidal stated that there is no scenario where they collide in the cage, especially as he does...

Photo: Instagram/Floyd Mayweather  Jake Paul , the professional boxer who recently suffered a defeat at the hands of Tommy Fury , has once again made headlines. This time, he was caught on camera running away from Floyd Mayweather during a confrontation in Miami. According to TMZ , Mayweather approached Paul after the Heat-Cavs game in south Florida, where Paul was accompanied by only one security guard. Photo: Instagram/Floyd Mayweather  Mayweather allegedly confronted Paul over comments that he had made in the past, which the former boxer believed had crossed a line. After exchanging a few words, Paul decided to leave the scene before things escalated further. Many people found the incident amusing and took to social media to share their thoughts on Paul's behavior. Some even joked that he was "running from his problems." Despite the confrontation, Paul later challenged Mayweather to a boxing match. However, it remains to be seen whether the two will actually end up fi...

Photo: Instagram/Logan Paul  Following the highly anticipated fight between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury, which saw Fury win by split decision, Logan Paul has expressed his willingness to face Fury if his brother does not get a rematch. The match between Jake and Tommy was long-awaited, and fans were excited to finally see it come to fruition. Fury dominated the fight, although a knockdown by Jake in Round 8 evened the scorecards slightly. Photo: Instagram/Logan Paul  Despite this, Fury was declared the victory to the delight of fans and participants alike. During an appearance on Jake's podcast, Logan discussed the possibility of Jake getting a rematch with Fury. However, he made it clear that he is prepared to take on Fury himself if the rematch does not happen. Logan's mother also weighed in on the conversation, revealing that Logan's first words after Jake's loss were a threat against Tommy Fury. While it remains to be seen whether Logan and Fury will face off, fans ar...

Photo: Instagram/Jake Paul  Jake Paul and Tommy Fury recently had a close fight, which Fury won through a split decision. Despite the result, Jake Paul made a significant amount of money from the fight. Before the fight, Jake made an interesting bet with Fury, stating that he would double Fury's earnings if he won, but Fury would receive nothing if Jake won. Photo: Instagram/Jake Paul  DJ Akademiks shared a video on Instagram revealing that Jake Paul earned $30 million from his bout with Tommy Fury. Even though he lost, he will be content knowing that he made a lot of money from one night of work due to strong PPV buys. However, it remains to be seen if he will continue to be a big draw following this loss. On the other hand, Tommy Fury's career will receive a significant boost from this win, and it could be the start of a long unbeaten streak in boxing with the right guidance. For now, Jake Paul is no longer undefeated, and he must contemplate his next move in his boxing care...

Photo: Instagram/Jake Paul  Jake Paul, the YouTube star-turned-boxer, has suffered his first defeat in a fight against Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia. It was widely anticipated that Paul would eventually face a reality check in the boxing ring, having previously called out experienced fighters such as Canelo Alvarez. Despite criticism of Fury's record, he proved to be a tough opponent for Paul, matching his size and youth. Photo: Instagram/Jake Paul  Paul's limitations as a boxer were exposed, with his jab lacking in variety and failing to build to anything. Fury's use of uppercuts proved to be a significant challenge for Paul, who struggled with his form and often resorted to swinging wildly. Despite a rematch with Fury being written into the contract, it may not be worth it for Paul to pursue this option. A better choice for Paul may be to target Nate Diaz, an older, slower and smaller MMA fighter, whom Paul has a chance of beating. This fight would generate significant inte...

Photo: Instagram/Tommy Fury  Tommy Fury defeated Jake Paul in a split-decision win in their eight-round bout at Diriyah Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, handing Paul his first loss in his boxing career. Despite being knocked down in the final round, Fury had a slight edge throughout most of the fight and threw almost double the amount of punches compared to Paul, landing 88 punches compared to Paul's 49. Both fighters had a point deducted in the later rounds for landing a punch to the back of the other's head. Photo: Instagram/Tommy Fury  In response to his loss, Paul claimed he didn't agree with the judges' decision, and cited being sick twice in camp and injuring his arm as factors that affected his performance, but he also admitted that it wasn't his best performance. Sunday's fight was Paul's biggest to date, having previously only taken on MMA fighters, another YouTuber, and a former NBA player in the ring. Fury, the half-brother of heavyweight champion T...

Photo: Instagram/Carl Froch Former super middleweight world champion Carl Froch has responded to criticism from YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, warning that his "right hand will put you into orbit" if he is "stupid enough" to fight him. Paul has a big fight coming up in Saudi Arabia against Tommy Fury, but has also diverted his attention to addressing criticism from Froch. In a video posted on Instagram, Froch dismissed the idea of fighting mixed martial arts legend Anderson Silva on Paul's undercard and stated that he would not consider fighting Paul unless he beats Fury. Photo: Instagram/Carl Froch  Froch also accused Paul of being a "performing clown" and told him to "keep my name out of your mouth until you've done something in the game". Froch is a four-time world champion, with two WBC titles to his name, and he believes Paul is not a professional fighter and will never have one of those titles. The idea of Jake Paul vs Carl Froch ...

Photo: Instagram/Jake Paul  On February 26th, YouTuber Jake Paul will face off against Tommy Fury in an eight-round fight at the Diriyah Arena in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. If Jake Paul manages to defeat Tommy Fury, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has announced that he will be given a ranking by the World Boxing Council. This news comes as a surprise to many, considering that Jake Paul has never fought a professional boxer during his three-year pro career, making it difficult to imagine him receiving a top 15 ranking at cruiserweight with the WBC. Photo: Instagram/Jake Paul  It is somewhat disappointing to think that a mediocre part-time fighter like Tommy Fury is the only opponent standing between Jake Paul and a ranking in the WBC's top 15. It's like allowing a flag football team to join the NFL. For a fighter to receive a ranking by a sanctioning body, they must prove themselves against quality opposition, and Jake Paul has not done so during his career. Even if Jake Paul manag...
