by

Jake Paul will fight Mike Tyson in a boxing match at AT&T Stadium in Dallas and streamed live on Netflix. The streaming platform announced the July fight on social media to the surprise of the sporting world. The fight, which will likely be fought as an exhibition match, comes in the midst of Paul taking his boxing career more seriously. The last time that Tyson fought was an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr in November 2020.

“Mike Tyson is one of the biggest icons in boxing history and Jake Paul is one of the biggest disruptors in boxing history. Saturday, July 20 will be pure drama in the ring in Texas. We are thrilled to partner with Most Valuable Promotions for this historic event and we can’t wait for these two to face off for fans all across the world on Netflix,” said Gabe Spitzer, VP of Sports Nonfiction at Netflix. The event will be the latest sports offering from the streaming giant. There has been previously been the Netflix Slam for tennis and the Netflix Cup for an F1/PGA crossover.

Jake Paul Calls Out Canelo Alvarez After Latest Boxing Win

However, Tyson is not the only boxing legend Paul is coming for. Paul took aim at Canelo Alvarez after beating Ryan Bourland with a first-round TKO in Puerto Rico. “Hey, Canelo, stop ducking. I know you want it. I’m repping Puerto Rico; you’re repping Mexico. So, it’s Puerto Rico versus Mexico,” Paul said. It’s not the first time that Paul (9-1) has called out Alvarez (60-2-2). However, Canelo told the YouTuber-turned-boxer to “stay in his lane” the last time Paul made such a challenge.

However, Paul’s MVP event in his adopted island home was not all good news. MVP was forced to scrap Amanda Serrano’s Puerto Rican homecoming just minutes before the fight was meant to begin. Serrano was deemed unfit to fight due to an eye injury sustained on Friday. “She wanted to fight, but the doctor didn’t allow her to fight, because of the problem in the left eye. I assume the fight will be rescheduled and we will sanction the fight,” WBO President Paco Valcarcel said. MVP offered full refunds and promised to pay out Serrano’s opponent’s purse.

Ex-NFLer To Sell Richard Pryor’s Former Home For Staggering Amount

by

NFL player-turned-Hollywood-writer Rashard Mendenhall is selling his home, which once belonged to Richard Pryor, for a little over $4M. The 9000-sq ft and 2.2-acre property in Sherwood Forest has been Mendenhall’s since 2017 when he and his wife purchased it for $2.5 million. The asking price of $4.236M is a reference to Mendenhall’s career rushing yards across his eight seasons in the NFL. As mentioned, Mendenhall began a scriptwriting career on shows like Ballers after he left the league.

However, a big part of the house’s appeal is its history. Pryor purchased the property in 1976 and it would go on to play host to his famous interview with Barbara Walters. It would also serve as the location for Pryor’s cocaine-fueled antics. This included the time that Pryor doused himself in rum and set himself on fire. The incident led to Pryor being treated for burns on 50% of his body.

Ex-NFLer Prevents Attempted Murder

However, Mendenhall is not the only former NFL player who has been in the news as of late. Police in Detroit have praised former third-overall NFL pick Braylon Edwards for intervening in an attempted murder at a YCMA. Edwards was in the locker room last Friday when he heard an elderly man arguing with several younger men about their music. After the altercation turned physical, Edwards stepped in. “And then I see the guy for what I was thinking was reaching for a phone underneath the victim grabs the back of the victim’s head by the hair. And he was about to slam it down on the counter,” Edwards told local media.

Speaking after officers arrived at the scene, Framingham Hills police chief Jeff King said that Edwards “absolutely” saved the man’s life. A 20-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder as a result of the incident. When asked why he intervened, Edwards said “That’s just what you do.” Edwards played eight years in the NFL and is a beloved alum of Michigan.

However, things eventually took a turn when Jacquees’ ex Dreezy came through with a bombshell.

Comedian Claims He Witnessed Matt Rife Trade Sexual Favors For Fame, Internet Calls Cap

by

Comedian Nima Yamini has gone viral for a story he recently shared about Matt Rife on social media. Yamini claims to have been in a meeting with “two Hollywood execs” along with Rife in which the Hollywood execs demanded oral sex in exchange for making the two men famous. Yamini claims that he left in disgust but that Rife was “already sucking both d-cks simultaneously before I even left the room.” The story quickly went viral, particularly finding traction amongst right-wing conspiracy theorists like Dom Lucre.

However, most of the internet called cap on the story. First, Yamini has an online reputation for satire and exaggerated comedy, meaning that the story is most likely fake. Furthermore, many people questioned why Yamini would name Rife but not the Hollywood execs. Additionally, the age gap between Yamini and Rife would likely make Rife a teenager in the story. This would imply that Yamini didn’t intervene when seeing a teenager being pressured into sex. Finally, the story almost perfectly fits the longstanding right-wing conspiracy theory about Hollywood being full of gay liberal sex fiends. Rife is yet to respond to the “allegations”.

Matt Rife Feuds With A Six-Year-Old

Of course, Rife has found a new level of infamy over the last year or so. In December, a few weeks after Rife was embroiled in drama about a domestic violence joke, Rife began a bizarre feud with a six-year-old on TikTok. Rife told the child that Santa Claus doesn’t exist and that the child’s mother buys his presents with her “OnlyFans profits”. The interaction came after the child stitched a clip of Rife saying Jupiter has a ring in order to tell him that Saturn is the planet better known for its rings. Rife ranted at the child in the comments, making the statements that have now landed him back in hot water. Most people see the feud as Rife once again punching down for no apparent reason.

However, Rife has also become something of a meme. Following his initial scandal, a plastic surgeon on TikTok made a brief skit that didn’t mention Rife by name but alluded to his scandal. Rife chose to respond to the surgeon, commenting “Lying about medical history is illegal” in the comments. This led to a wave of mockery aimed at Rife as to many people, the comment was emblematic of not being able to take what he dished out. Furthermore, the surgeon took things a step further by issuing Rife an apology in the form of a special needs helmet.

During her time in the spotlight, 2022 Uproxx cover star Chloe Bailey has made it clear that she’s somebody who knows her worth. On that front, she’s not about to settle for less than she believes she deserves, so she has some red flags that will send her running the other way if she spots them in a man. Bailey was just asked about that and she presented her list of no-no’s.

In a recent Instagram Live broadcast, Bailey answered a fan’s question, explaining, “Oh, what are the red flags for me? Liars. Cockiness, I hate cockiness. And if someone isn’t excited about the things that I’m excited about. You don’t have to like them, but to just know that you care about what make me happy. Like, if you don’t… [buzzer noise] [laughs].”

So, there you have it: Be honest, humble, and engaged, which sounds like good advice for a relationship with anybody, not just Bailey.

Speaking of relationships: Last summer, Bailey came through for a fan who just got broken up with… at one of Bailey’s concerts, no less. The fan tweeted, “I just got dumped at @ChloeBailey concert [teary-eyed emoji] [crying emoji] she was a bad b*tch tho!! Bro just blew my night fr.” Chlöe quote-tweeted the post and added, “wtf. better off without him. onto the next!!! love you boo.”

As the vinyl collector explained, French was running a promotion for $5 vinyls and they needed to be shipped by a certain date to count as sales.
