Now the weekend in New Orleans will not be forgotten any time soon.

Diaz’s boxing contest will Paul in August will be his first fight of any capacity since becoming a UFC free agent. The former UFC star had seen a lot of breaks in between fights recently.

Footage Shows Police Escorted Jake Paul Away From Mayweather

by

Jake Paul has made a name for himself with his larger-than-life personality. Getting his start on YouTube, Paul was loved by his fans and loathed by his man detractors. However, he is now better known for his boxing career. While many debates have occurred about his skill and choice of opponent, Paul appears to be genuinely serious about pursuing a career as a fighter. He currently holds a 6-1 professional record.

However, not every confrontation with his fellow boxers has been in the ring. Paul has a long history of beef with Floyd Mayweather. They have been rivals since at least 2021, when the two were scheduled to face off. During a promotion event, Paul stole Mayweather’s hat. However, Mayweather’s camp claims that things run deeper than that. Things came to a head last month when Mayweather reportedly confronted Paul in Miami following an NBA game. Both sides gave conflicting accounts of the incident, with Paul claiming Mayweather “ambushed” him while Mayweather’s jeweler said Paul “ran like a rabbit” upon merely seeing Mayweather’s crew.

New Video Shows New Angle Of Paul-Mayweather Incident

He said, he said seemed to be where the story ended with the Miami incident. That is until TMZ released new footage they had obtained of the incident. In the footage, obtained from a police source, Paul can be seen being escorted back into Miami’s Kaseya Center by police. That came as a result of swift police intervention as the two entourages encountered one another on the concourse. In Paul can be heard telling the officer escorting that “they were trying to jump me”. Paul and his crew are also heard stating that they believed Mayweather to have around “50” people in his group. It is unclear how many people were with Mayweather, as the footage also shows other guests leaving the arena following the game. Paul eventually left the Kaseya Center without further incident.

It’s unclear who the footage vindicates more. If anything, the footage speaks to the rapid response of the present police officers to curtail the incident before it became anything more serious. While both parties are seen squaring up and exchanging terse words, it does not definitely prove Paul’s claim that he was “ambushed” by Mayweather. However, it does show that Mayweather had the numbers advantage in the confrontation, even if 50 seems like an exaggeration. Neither party has responded to the footage’s release. Furthermore, it is unclear where the beef goes from here. Could this be the spark that finally gets these two stars into the ring?

Jake Paul Goes Scorched Earth On KSI Over Recent Controversy

by

Jake Paul and KSI have been in a longstanding feud. Overall, both of these men are YouTube stars who have entered the boxing world. KSI has fought twice against Logan Paul, with one draw and one victory. Additionally, Paul is a superstar at this point, although he did lose his last fight against Tommy Fury. At this point, there are all sorts of rumblings that they might get to fight each other. Both of these men have been going back and forth on social media over the last few months, however, there is still no fight in sight.

Recently, KSI found himself at the center of a controversy. While appearing in a Sidemen video on YouTube, KSI ended up using a racial slur that is used against South Asian people. Subsequently, KSI took to social media where he apologized for what went down. Despite the apology, Jake Paul jumped on the opportunity to kick KSI while he was down. In the tweet down below, you can see that Paul went off on the YouTuber. He urged his rival to be better and to start thinking about charities he can donate to.

Jake Paul Speaks

“Fake guy with fake apologies every other week,” Paul wrote. “I hope you take this more serious than taking a break off social media so you can focus on training and then reappearing two weeks before your fight saying you’re a new man. Meet with British South Asian community leaders, get with the right charities and give back. I made my own mistakes in my early 20s but we are too old for this behavior. I look forward to knocking you the fuck out on behalf of all South Asians around the world. You 30 year old prick.”

At this point, Jake Paul is clearly trying to play dirty. Using a rival’s controversy to his advantage isn’t exactly the definition of “class.” However, this is one of the reasons why Paul is able to sell fights. He knows how to build tension, and it is something that promoters love. Let us know whether or not you think these two will ever get in the ring, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the sports world.

Jake Paul Reportedly Has A New Olympian Girlfriend

by

Jake Paul is easily one of the most interesting figures in the sports world right now. In that same breath, he is one of the most hated. Overall, this is because of his reputation as a YouTube star. Moreover, he is someone who likes to do a lot of trash-talking. Not everyone is a fan of that strategy, which leads to a ton of enemies both in the ring and in the media. For the most part, Paul has been able to back up his talk. His only real blemish on that front was his most recent loss to the likes of Tommy Fury.

Although, it seems like Paul could very well be winning outside of the ring. According to sources who spoke to TMZ, Jake Paul appears to have a new girl in his life. In fact, his alleged new girlfriend is an Olympic silver medalist for the Netherlands. The woman in question is Jutta Leerdam who is a speed skater. Although neither has confirmed a relationship, the two were spotted at dinner on Tuesday. Furthermore, there was plenty of PDA going on, which pretty well hints at the fact that the two are together.

Jake Paul x Jutta Leerdam

Interestingly enough, the two have known each other for quite some time at this point. As TMZ reports, they began following each other on Instagram. Subsequently, they entered the talking phase and are now spending their evenings together. Furthermore, it has been hinted that she will be a guest on Jake Paul’s podcast. This should all be very interesting, and perhaps they will open up about their relationship during the show.

Following his defeat at the hands of Fury, Paul has a lot to think about in terms of his boxing career. He could rematch Fury, or he could just go and start fighting against YouTubers again. It would be a ton of fun to watch him go up against KSI. However, no one truly knows if he is past that stage yet. Give us your thoughts on what Paul should do, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world.

Jake Paul Claims He Did Ayahuasca With Aaron Rodgers

by

Jake Paul is someone who has been very open and honest when it comes to his personal life. Overall, Paul grew up around the YouTube culture of documenting every waking moment of your life. There was a time when Paul would vlog every single day. However, he no longer does the whole vlogging thing. For the most part, that trend is a thing of the past. Although, Jake still finds ways to keep his fans updated on all of the things he goes through. Whether that be podcasts or interviews.

Recently, Paul got to speak with Fox News Digital where he spoke about the spiritual side of his life. In fact, Paul has been trying to delve deeper into that world. Following the admission that he likely has CTE, Jake Paul claimed that he wanted to experiment with various psychedelics. Typically, psychedelics and spirituality are intertwined. This subsequently led Paul to try out Ayahuasca. In fact, Paul got to do Ayahuasca with none other than Aaron Rodgers.

Jake Paul x Aaron Rodgers

“Aaron and I were actually together when we did the ayahuasca,” Paul revealed. “He’s more publicly known for speaking about it, but I was actually there with him when we did it. We spent the week there doing it. Definitely share that similarity in terms of spirituality and reflecting and going into the deepest parts of the mind. Definitely have been doing some of that.” The NFL quarterback has been extremely open and honest about his Ayahuasca use. However, we had no clue he was doing it with Jake Paul this whole time.

Perhaps in the future, these two will sit down for a podcast and talk about their experiences. These are two unique individuals, and we would love to hear what they went through while trying Ayahuasca together. For now, however, Rodgers is simply waiting for his official trade to the New York Jets. Let us know what you think of Jake’s admission, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Lindsay Lohan, Jake Paul, Soulja Boy, Lil Yachty And More Have Been Charged By The SEC For Promoting Crypto Without Disclosing They Were Paid To Promote Crypto

After only just emerging back into the public eye as the spokesperson for Pepsi’s questionable concoction of milk and cola with the questionable nickname “Pilk,” Lindsay Lohan is in hot water with the SEC over pitching crypto without disclosing that she was paid for the endorsements. She’s also not alone. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lohan, Jake Paul, Kendra Lust, Soulja Boy, Ne-Yo, Lil Yachty, Akon, and Austin Mahone are all being charged in connection with their endorsements for TRON founder Justin Sun’s crypto companies.

“As alleged in the complaint, Sun and others used an age-old playbook to mislead and harm investors by first offering securities without complying with registration and disclosure requirements and then manipulating the market for those very securities,” said director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement Gurbir S. Grewal. “At the same time, Sun paid celebrities with millions of social media followers to tout the unregistered offerings, while specifically directing that they not disclose their compensation. This is the very conduct that the federal securities laws were designed to protect against regardless of the labels Sun and others used.”

The celebrities charged, except Soulja Boy and Mahone, have agreed to pay $400,000 and effectively plead no contest to avoid admitting wrongdoing. This isn’t legal advice, but they should all probably fire whoever gave them the legal advice that it’s cool to do paid crypto promotion without telling people (and the SEC) that you got paid.

These cases are different than other celebrity-endorsed-crypto cases in the recent past, including the FTX investors suing their celebrity endorsers for allegedly making crypto investments seem safer than they are. For now, most involved in this crypto flim-flam can chug a warm glass of pilk and be glad it’s all over.
