Jake Paul Issues A Threat To Tommy Fury

by

Jake Paul is currently one of the most famous fighters in the entire world. Although many don’t consider him to be a real boxer, he has certainly defeated some real opponents. He has gone up against the likes of Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and even Anderson Silva. Overall, he remains undefeated and he is ready for his biggest challenge yet. Now, he is about to go up against Tommy Fury, who many see as a real boxer. This could be Jake’s first loss, although he seems to be extremely confident in himself.

For Paul, this could be a make-or-break moment in his career. If he were to lose, then he would forfeit much of his appeal. However, if he wins, then this could be a stepping stone to fighting other actual boxers. At the end of the day, Paul is still very young and he has a lot of room to grow in the sport. For now, Paul remains focused on Tommy Fury, for who he recorded a message for today. In the clip down below, you can see that Jake tried to be as menacing as possible.

Jake Paul Speaks

“Tommy, I hope you’ve enjoyed these last few moments of your career,” Jake said. “This is it, you’re going to be retired from boxing after this. You’re going to be disowned by your family. You’re going to go back to your mother’s maiden name. There’s nothing else that can save you. It’s just me and you — mano a mano.” Moreover, Paul went on to issue a direct threat to Fury. Paul spared no punches here, as he even made a reference to Fury’s newborn child. “So, all that cute little motivation about having a child and fighting for her, all that s*** goes out the window when I’m coming to take your f***ing head off, decapitate you,” Paul said.

This is one of those fights that is going to be impossible to predict. Whenever Paul gets into the ring, it is a complete wild card. That said, it should be very interesting to see how this all plays out. Let us know who you believe will win, down in the comments below.

Tommy Fury Reveals How Badly He’s Going To Injury Jake Paul

by

Tommy Fury and Jake Paul have had a long history of trying to fight against one another. The first time these two were going to get in the ring, Fury pulled out due to a rib injury. Subsequently, they tried fighting again back in the Summer of 2022. However, Fury had immigration issues that derailed the match, yet again. Now, they are set to fight each other on February 26th in Saudi Arabia, which should put an end to all of the logistical problems. Now, they can both settle their differences, once and for all.

Overall, both of these fighters are undefeated. Moreover, they both have a lot to prove. Some feel like Jake is a fake fighter, while others see Tommy Fury as nothing more than a Love Island contestant. This means that both men will be motivated to change the narratives around themselves. In an interview with TMZ, Fury made it very clear what his objective is. Simply put, he wants to injure Jake Paul, and he wants to do so quite badly.

Tommy Fury Is Confident

“My message to Jake Paul is good luck and I hope you’ve trained and I hope you got an ambulance on speed dial because you’re gonna need it,” Fury said. “This is all that’s been in my mind for the past two and a half, three years because I’m a professional, legitimate fighter, and my name has been lingering with Jake Paul for quite some time now and Jake Paul is not on my level.” Jake would certainly disagree with this as he sees himself as a real fighter. Furthermore, Paul has made it known that he wants to go after real belts. However, the only way he can do so is if he gets past Fury.

With this fight going down in just three more weeks, there is a ton of anticipation being built. Fans have waited a very long time to see this match go down, and it promises to be one for the ages. Although, if you are a boxing purist who hates Jake Paul, you are probably hoping for a Fury win. Let us know who you think is going to win, down in the comments below.

Jake Paul Snaps At Bomani Jones: Watch

by

Jake Paul has had a very interesting foray into the boxing world. For the most part, fans have been skeptical about his ability. However, he has proven that he can hang with the best of them. Throughout his first few matches, he has already defeated Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley twice, and Anderson Silva. Additionally, he has wins against Aneson Gib and Nate Robinson, although they barely count. Moving forward, Paul has plans to fight against none other than Tommy Fury. This match is set to go down on February 26th and it should be a lot of fun.

Overall, this is a huge match for Jake. This is because Paul has yet to actually fight someone who made their name in boxing. Fury is the first trained boxer he has fought, and there is a lot riding on this. If for some reason Jake loses, then his entire appeal as a fighter could be in jeopardy. However, Paul is still extremely confident that he can win. Ultimately, it will come down to his performance on the night of the fight.

Jake Paul Is Upset

Ahead of his fight, Paul is looking to do some media engagements. Recently, he appeared on Game Theory which is hosted by Bomani Jones. Jones is a reporter who is not afraid to ask tough questions. Consequently, that is exactly what he did while Paul was on his show. In the clip above, you can see Jones ask Paul what he thinks will happen if he loses. After all, why will people care if he’s no longer undefeated? Well, Jake Paul did not like that question and snapped at Bomani, saying “I don’t know who the f–k you are.”

This is easily one of the worst answers to can hit back with. Furthermore, it was made even worse when Jones told Paul that he only knows of him because people don’t like him very much. Overall, it was one of those exchanges that will not do Paul any favors. However, Paul probably got off the Zoom call and forgot about what was said immediately. At the end of the day, he has a fight to train for and if he spends too much time with the media, he will simply lose momentum.

Jake Paul Predicts How He’ll Beat Tommy Fury

by

Jake Paul says that he’s going to knock Tommy Fury unconscious during their upcoming fight in Saudi Arabia, next month. During an interview with Sky Sports, Paul predicted exactly how the match is going to go.

“I want to become a world champion,” Paul told the outlet. “I’m going to become a world champion and these fights are all just stepping stones to get there. I’m slowly improving.”

From there, Paul explained how he is “starting to really, really get this sport” and looked ahead to his future. He argued that he will become a “dominant world champion” one day.

“You can expect Fury face down on the canvas, unconscious and it’s going to happen fast. Get your popcorn but don’t blink,” Paul continued. “They hate on me beating Tyron Woodley. They hate on me beating Anderson Silva, not understanding that they are both 10 times better boxers than Tommy Fury.”

He further said: “So the critics and the sheep who believe Jake Paul hasn’t fought a real boxer, someone his age, they’re technically right and this checks that off. So that’s going to be fun to shut those people up.”

“The kid is good but he’s not great and he’s never been in there with someone who wants it more than him,” Paul added.

“I’m hyper-competitive and I want to be the best at whatever it is that I do,” he continued. “So I feel like my whole entire life has led me up to this moment and to come in with a different sort of narrative, through YouTube and Disney Channel and to change the sport of boxing, how the promotion’s done, how the fighters are paid, how the events are looking, that to me excites me, to innovate in this sport that has needed it for the past decade or so.”

“I’m excited to help this sport,” Paul concluded.

Jake Paul Speaks

Taking to Twitter today, Jake Paul revealed that he will be taking on Fury in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. As a result, Fury will have absolutely no excuses. Furthermore, the fight is fairly short notice as it will go down on February 26th. Needless to say, Paul means business.

“Tommy has no excuses now…Baby’s born. Money’s massive. Immigration no issue,” Paul wrote. “Tyson promises he & Papa will make Tommy retire from boxing & change his last name if he can’t beat the YouTuber. Tmw I’m coming to London to look at all 3 Fury’s in the eye & shake on that promise.”

Paul has defeated the likes of Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, Ben Askren, and Nate Robinson. Fans have been waiting for him to fight a real boxer, and Tommy Fury definitely fits that bill.

Jake Paul Reacts To Rumors Of $2.5 Million Fight With Tommy Fury

by

After a long time spent asking, it seems Jake Paul took things a step further to get Tommy Fury to fight him. Moreover, rumors had spread around the Internet that he offered Fury $2.5 million for a fight, after a few failed attempts. Recently, the Paul brother took to Twitter to make a cheeky statement concerning the boxer.

“I cannot confirm nor deny this accurate statement,” he wrote. “What I can confirm is Tommy Fury is never going to see the kind of money he is being offered to step in the ring with me. And yet he’s still on the run.”

Readers likely remember that the last we heard from the two was a four-round knockout prediction from the British star. While this kind of money would probably entice most to fight, Fury has bailed out before. When he tapped out the first time, it was due to injury, and later had issues getting into the country.

Regardless, fans disagreed on the fight’s prospects and whether Fury should even engage. “It is wrong Jake Paul is the biggest name in boxing,” wrote one user on Twitter. “The sport should be ashamed. But fair play to the guy. Its no accident he’s at the top.”

Even with boxing purists shaking their fists at the podcaster and vlogger, they give him credit for the hustle. Also, he recently partnered with the Cleveland Browns as a member of their social media team. While boxing may be his main endeavor, he’s seeking a bag with everything he does.

Many respect that grind, even if seeing his name in Twitter replies can get exhausting. “Honestly think there’s just too much at stake for him,” said a faithful tweeter about Fury. “He can’t possibly bear losing to YouTuber Jake Paul. Forget the money, he could never look his dad and Tyson in the eyes again. He doesn’t want to take the risk.”

Still, what do you think of Jake Paul’s jabs at Tommy Fury and him putting up $2.5 million on this fight? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for the latest on this showdown.

Jake Paul Joins NFL’s Cleveland Browns In An Unexpected Way

At this point, it’s impossible to avoid Jake Paul‘s name on social media and in the headlines.

As the social media star’s list of business ventures continues to grow, his latest comes in the form of a contract with the NFL’s Cleveland Browns.

He won’t, however, be suiting up to play on the field for the currently third-place AFC North team.

In a shocking post to his Instagram account on Friday (December 23), the influencer teased that he would be joining the Browns. He’s seen posing at a press conference alongside the team’s Executive Vice President, JW Johnson.

Since Johnson is holding up a jersey with Paul’s name on it, the post certainly stirred up some conversations. “Excited to be on the team @clevelandbrowns @nfl,” reads the caption.

In another video that’s part of the same post, Paul is seen on FaceTime with Johnson discussing a contract. “Crazy news, guys, I got a contract with the Cleveland Browns,” says the 25-year-old before answering the call. “We’re fired up. [We] can’t wait to get you here today and get you to sign that contract, and excited to have you be a part of the team, man,” Johnson tells the boxer.

The Cleveland Browns subsequently took to their own Instagram account to officially welcome the Cleveland native to their organization in a press conference.

In the amusing clip, the influencer immediately expresses his long-time dream of playing in the NFL, implying that the forthcoming announcement will be making that dream come true. The E.V.P. clarifies that they’re actually bringing him on to be a part of their social media team instead.

Although it’s evidently not what he wants, the YouTuber still signs the contract. His official position is the team’s “junior associate content assistant.”

After rising to fame by starring in the Disney Channel show, Bizaardvark for two seasons, the 25-year-old began taking to social media platforms like Vine and YouTube to further his popularity.

Ever since 2018 though, Paul’s main focus has been on his professional boxing career. He’s currently 6-0 as a boxer, with four of those six wins coming in the form of a knockout. He has controversially beaten opponents such as former NBA player Nate Robinson and former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. Most recently, he defeated former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva by unanimous decision in October.

As part of the company’s efforts, the two are also launching a new media venture for the next generation of sports fans. Betr is setting out to disrupt legacy gambling and legacy media, with a mission of making sports and betting betr.

Betr is the first direct-to-consumer sports betting company to focus predominantly on micro-betting, a new form of betting that introduces instant gratification to the sports betting user experience by enabling the moments that drive U.S. sports consumption – such as pitches & at-bats of baseball games and plays & drives of football games – to become discrete betting opportunities.

Levy is the co-founder of Simplebet, the B2B technology company that has pioneered micro-betting on U.S. sports by building the machine learning and automation infrastructure to enable this new form of betting to exist at scale.

Paul, who has 70 million followers on social media and is one of the most searched public figures on Google, kicked off the launch of Betr’s media company with a preview of ‘BS w/ Jake Paul,’ the first of many franchises Betr will release as it aims to become the primary media platform for the next generation of sports fans.

The show will feature Jake, arguably the most disruptive athlete-influencer in sports and one of the most famous Gen-Z personalities in the world, along with his celebrity friends taking fans on a journey across the landscape of sports and sports betting through the eyes of an A-list athlete.

The show sets out to become one of the most viewed and engaged sports shows on digital with each episode featuring Jake, his sidekick co-hosts, and celebrity/athlete guests as they discuss the hottest stories in sports.

In addition to generating brand awareness and affinity for the Betr brand, Betr’s media company will independently generate revenue for Betr, with the company evaluating sponsorship opportunities for ‘BS w/ Jake Paul’ and its other premium content initiatives.

“I co-founded Simplebet to simplify the sports betting user experience – to reconsider why sports betting products felt uninterpretable to the casual fan who had never bet on sports before,” said Joey Levy, Founder and CEO of Betr.

“MVP and Jake Paul will not reward someone that has conducted themselves in such a deceiving and calculated manner,” the statement said. “Therefore, MVP is left with no choice but to cancel the August 6th event. This forced outcome impacts Jake Paul, Amanda Serrano and every other fighter on this card who have trained tirelessly over the past few months for this event. The boxing community must hold Hasim Rahman Jr. liable for his lack of professionalism.”
