KSI Labels Jake Paul-Mike Tyson Fight As “Sad”

by

KSI has taken aim at the recently announced fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. “50+ years old. No one wanted this…So sad to see man…,” KSI wrote in response to the announcement. The fight was revealed by Netflix, who will broadcast the fight, and will take place in Dallas in June. Furthermore, 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.

KSI No Longer Wants Jake Paul Fight, Points To Paul’s Low Ticket Sales

However, it’s not the first time that KSI has gone after Paul. In December, KSI announced that he was no longer interested in fighting Jake Paul after news broke alleging that Paul was yet to sell out his fight against Andre August. “Yeah, he ain’t got any hype anymore. I ain’t wasting my time to fight him lol,” KSI wrote on X. The smaller venue fight at an Orlando casino was being hailed by Paul as his way of proving his boxing credentials rather than his PPV draw ability. “This is probably just a break-even fight for me. I probably won’t even make money on it. Who knows what the outcome is. It’s $200,000 for a private jet to fly around just to get me there and back,” Paul previously told TMZ.

Despite this, Paul is clearly looking beyond KSI at this point. 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.

Jake Paul, coming off sensational victories against Ryan Bourland and Andre August, faces his most formidable opponent yet in Mike Tyson. With an impressive record and aspirations for a world championship, Paul is set to test his skills against one of boxing’s greatest.

“It’s crazy to think that in my second pro fight, I went viral for knocking out Nate Robinson on Mike Tyson’s undercard. Now, less than four years later, I’m stepping up to face Tyson myself to see if I have what it takes to beat one of boxing’s most notorious fighters and biggest icons,” said Jake Paul. “Within just two and a half years of founding MVP, we’re about to produce the biggest fight in history, a fight in the biggest NFL stadium in the US, broadcast live, on the biggest streaming platform in the world – a testament to all we’ve accomplished in such a short amount of time. Whether you’re tuning in on Netflix or showing out in person, whether you’re team Paul or team Tyson, or whether you’re a lifelong boxing fan or watching your first fight, you’re not going to want to miss this event.

“I could not be more excited to make this amazing fight available to all Netflix subscribers alongside the hardest hitter of all time, Mike Tyson, on Saturday, July 20th. My sights are set on becoming a world champion, and now I have a chance to prove myself against the greatest heavyweight champion ever, the baddest man on the planet and the most dangerous boxer of all time. This will be the fight of a lifetime.”

Mike Tyson, renowned as the “Baddest Man on the Planet,” boasts an illustrious career as a former undisputed world heavyweight champion. His explosive power and ferocious fighting style have left an indelible mark on the sport, making him a formidable challenger for any opponent.

“I’m very much looking forward to stepping into the ring with Jake Paul at the AT&T STADIUM IN ARLINGTON, TEXAS,” said Mike Tyson. “He’s grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a “kid” can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT.  It’s a full circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch; as I started him on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones and now I plan to finish him.”

Since its inception, MVP has been at the forefront of combat sports, disrupting norms and creating historic events. Partnering with Netflix ensures that Paul vs. Tyson reaches a global audience, connecting generations of sports enthusiasts and elevating the spectacle to unprecedented heights.

“Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson is a once in a lifetime dream matchup and I anticipate it will be the most-watched boxing event in modern boxing history,” said Nakisa Bidarian, founder of Most Valuable Promotions. “Partnering with Netflix for this deal presents an unparalleled opportunity to bring Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson to the world on an unprecedented scale and we look forward to delivering this incredible clash of two of sports biggest names. Six generations of boxing fans will have a stake in the outcome and will be able to watch an anti-hero, Jake Paul, put it all on the line  against the baddest man on the planet, Mike Tyson. Thank you to Netflix for their vision and trust in MVP to put on this historic event.”

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.

Jake Paul Signs Boxer After Viral Confrontation

Elsewhere, Paul signed Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat to his MVP label after their viral confrontation earlier this week. The two men had to be separated after Goyat pulled up on Paul in Puerto Rico, with footage of the incident quickly spreading online. Goyat is has repeatedly held the WBC Asia title and has been calling out Paul online for months. It’s now clear that the confrontation was staged to precede Goyat signing with MVP.

Jake Paul Blasts Kid Cudi For Not Giving Him A “Hometown Discount” On His Appearance Fee

While Paul’s beef with Goyat, he has been known to harbor some genuine grudges. Last year, Paul took aim at fellow Ohio native Kid Cudi for his “astronomical” appearance fees. Paul claimed that he had reached out to Cudi about performing at his 2021 fight against Tyron Woodley. However, Cudi’s fee was just too much for Paul to afford. “I tried to get him to perform at the Tyron Woodley fight just before I came out and he asked for like, an astronomical fee that was like, ‘F-ck you.’ I get it, but it’s like, this was like some sh-t to tap in back with the city. Like, first event back from Covid,” Paul explained.

Furthermore, Paul argued that he gave discounts on his appearance fees when the City of Cleveland was involved. With Cudi out, Paul instead made his ring entrance to recordings of Machine Gun Kelly‘s “Till I Die” and Jeezy‘s “Put On”. Paul would go on to beat the retired MMA fighter via split decision.

Jake Paul Set to Enter Deal with Showtime Sports

Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) has announced a thrilling matchup between international sensation Jake Paul (8-1, 5 KOs) and professional boxer Ryan Bourland (17-2, 6 KOs). Set for Saturday, March 2, 2024, at Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, the 8-round cruiserweight clash positions Paul against his toughest opponent.

Paul vs. Bourland is the co-main event alongside the Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano vs. Nina Meinke matchup, presented by CELSIUS Live Fit Essential Energy. The event marks Serrano’s return to Puerto Rico after becoming the island’s first undisputed world boxing champion, male or female.

Bourland, a seasoned boxer with years of experience, brings an impressive record of 17 wins and two losses to the ring. The event, available as part of the DAZN subscription package, underlines Jake Paul’s commitment to making the sport accessible to fans globally. Moreover, Paul will donate his full fight purse to Boxing Bullies, his nonprofit dedicated to renovating youth boxing gyms across Puerto Rico.

“I’ve always said my goal is to become a world champion. I beat a pro boxer in December in the first round, someone who’s been boxing their entire life, and what did I do next? I went straight back to camp to get ready to face my next opponent, a professional boxer who has twice as many professional fights under his belt than I do,” said Jake Paul. “It’s a new year, it’s an even better me, and I’m facing an even more experienced, seasoned boxer on Saturday, March 2 as co-main to the Puerto Rican GOAT, Amanda Serrano. I’m fighting for experience, not for the money, and to show my love for this beautiful island I’ll be donating my entire fight purse from this event to my nonprofit Boxing Bullies to help renovate gyms across Puerto Rico.”

Following Paul’s remarkable performance in December, where he secured a first-round knockout against Andre August, the upcoming bout aims to showcase Paul’s growth as a boxer. Since turning pro in 2020, Paul has garnered accolades for his dedication to the sport, receiving recognition for Knockout of the Year and Breakout Boxer of the Year.

The event is expected to set records, building on Paul’s previous achievements, including the highest-recorded gate for a boxing event in Orlando. The co-main event promises an electrifying night for boxing enthusiasts, with Ryan Bourland posing a formidable challenge to Jake Paul’s quest for world champion status.

“Jake Paul steps into the ring with his social media clout, but let’s not mistake followers for experience or skill,” said Ryan Bourland. “While he’s been busy chasing likes, I’ve been honing my craft for years, stepping into the ring and beating real boxers. On Saturday, March 2 I will shock the world and put an end to Jake Paul’s boxing career.”

“Jake Paul has broken record after record and in this fight, he’s once again showing what a tremendous person he is as well,” said Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of MVP. “Not only is Jake taking on yet another more experienced professional boxer in Ryan Bourland, but he’s also supporting Amanda Serrano as she headlines this historic event at the legendary Coliseo de Puerto Rico, demonstrating his and MVP’s commitment to equality in the sport. I applaud Jake’s continued commitment to giving back to the youth after he announced he is donating his entire purse from this fight to Boxing Bullies so the organization can continue their mission of renovating boxing gyms to give boys and girls a positive environment to learn. The world continues to watch Jake, and he continues to deliver. Thank you to DAZN for working with us to make this event available to fans around the world and to Celsius for their continued support and partnership. Serrano vs. Meinke featuring Paul vs. Bourland is going to be historic and we can’t wait to bring this amazing card to Puerto Rico.”

In addition to Paul vs. Bourland, the event features other notable matchups, including Javon “Wanna” Walton’s global debut as MVP’s latest signee, WBO junior flyweight world champion Jonathan “Bomba” Gonzalez facing Rene Santiago, and a clash between Puerto Rico’s Kystal Roado and Mexico’s Gloria Munguilla in a super flyweight bout. Amanda Serrano’s presence as the unified featherweight world champion adds further prestige to the event, contributing to MVP’s commitment to equality in women’s boxing. The Serrano vs. Meinke bout follows Serrano’s historic unified championship fight in October and the Shadasia “The Sweet Terminator” Green vs. Franchón Crews-Dezurn WBC super middleweight and WBA Interim world title bout in December.

Jake Paul Receives MMA Challenge From Tyron Woodley

by

Overall, Jake Paul has been having a very successful go in the fight world. Although not everyone is convinced of what he can do, he seems to having himself a nice run. Sure, he lost to Tommy Fury. However, he just got in the ring against a real boxer in Andre August. He ended up winning that match thanks to a knockout in the first-round. Not many people expected him to do such a thing, but he was able to clutch up and get it done. This is one of his biggest achievements, and fans have been left quite impressed.

Now, however, he is receiving a challenge from his former opponent, Tyron Woodley. Although Paul has beaten him twice already, in the boxing ring, Woodley wants another shot at Paul. However, according to TMZ, Woodley wants to even the playing field by having the match take place in the Octagon. Yes, that is right, Woodley wants to fight Paul in MMA. This would be a huge test for Jake, and considering his boxing aspirations, it remains to be seen if he would agree to this.

“I think if you’re gonna fight anyone in MMA, you fight me MMA. I’m the one that did the numbers with you. I’m the one that did the millions and millions of views in the press conference. I am the one that was a 5x champion. I am the one who took the fight on 2 weeks’ notice,” he said. “Was doing Cobra Kai for 14 hours straight. I trained at 3 AM and I saved that card. That card was not going to happen. People would not have been buying Christmas gifts had I not stepped up to the plate. So to talk about fighting anyone in MMA outside of me is disrespect.”

Jake Paul Gets Vivek Ramaswamy Ringside Tickets To Andre August Fight

by

Jake Paul has provided GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy ringside tickets to his Florida boxing match against Andre August on Saturday. Per TMZ, Ramaswamy will watch the fight ringside, grab a quick face-to-face with Paul before jetting off to Iowa for six campaign events on Sunday. Despite saying he is open to meeting with any candidate interested in meeting him, Paul appears to have formed a special bond with Ramaswamy.

The pair linked up on TikTok back in September. The pair danced together as text appeared on-screen explaining how Ramaswamy was making an effort to “reach out to the younger generations.” It was quite an ironic post, given that Ramaswamy doesn’t believe that people under the age of 25 should be allowed to vote. The billionaire has not made much of an impact on the polls. However, he has received a substantial amount of attention for a handful of his policies. As mentioned, Ramaswamy believes that, aside from a military exemption, the voting age should be 25. Furthermore, Ramaswamy believes voters must have to pass a civics test to vote. This is despite Ramaswamy himself not knowing when the Constitution was written. Additionally, Ramaswamy is a hardliner on immigration, despite the fact that his own father is not a US citizen.

How Is Vivek Ramaswamy Doing In The GOP Primary?

According to polling data from FiveThirtyEight, Ramaswamy is currently a distant fourth in the GOP primary. While he was third at some points during the summer, he has been overtaken by Nikki Haley. At the time of writing, Ramaswamy is averaging 4.5% of the vote in the latest polls. That’s less than half of Haley (11.2%) in third place. Furthermore, Ramaswamy is only doing marginally better in Iowa, the first test of the primary calendar. However, his 5.7% of the Iowa vote is still only going for third and is almost three times lower than Haley’s (15.9%).

Ramaswamy’s most recent appearance was a town hall forum in Iowa broadcast on CNN. In an effort to appeal to far-right voters, Ramaswamy made several false claims about the January 6 insurrection, including about the role of police and the purported presence of undercover federal agents. He also provided misleading answers about wage growth versus inflation and the role of the Federal Reserve. Ramaswamy, whose estimated net worth is around $1 billion, had tried to frame himself as a champion of the people. However, it’s starting to become clear that it’s simply not resonating with voters.

The smaller venue fight at an Orlando casino is already being hailed by Paul as his way of proving his boxing credentials rather than his PPV draw ability. “This is probably just a break-even fight for me.

There is a lot riding on the fight for Paul. If he wins, the result goes a long way proving that he does belong in the boxing space. However, losing would drop him to 0-2 against established boxers, ending any sort of hope he might have had about establishing a serious career outside his celebrity fights. August is 35 years old and has a 10-1-1 career record. That makes him the most experienced fighter Paul has faced in his career so far. Paul suffered the first loss of his career when he faced his first experienced opponent, Tommy Fury, earlier this year.

Jake Paul Puts Kid Cudi On Blast

However, KSI isn’t the only person that Paul potentially has beef with. Earlier this month, Paul took aim at his fellow Clevelander – Kid Cudi. Paul claimed that he had reached out to Cudi about performing at his 2021 fight against Tyron Woodley. However, Cudi’s fee was just too much for Paul to afford. “I tried to get him to perform at the Tyron Woodley fight just before I came out and he asked for like, an astronomical fee that was like, ‘F-ck you.’ I get it, but it’s like, this was like some sh-t to tap in back with the city. Like, first event back from Covid,” Paul explained.

Furthermore, Cudi later responded. “As far as Jake Paul, listen chief, Im an artist. A real one. I make art for a living. Im not some guy that comes out to perform at boxing matches. I entertained it tho cuz it was u, and tho it went against what I stand for I submitted a fee. My fee is my fee. Especially for some sh-t thats not my style. If im gonna do it its gonna be worth it for my pockets and time. This is business baby. Im not these other rappin a– n-ggas that will show up for a lil check. U came to me u shoulda knew what time it was young man. U dont know me either to say im anything broski. So theres that. Ok, these are my thoughts,” Cudi tweeted.
