KSI Slams Tommy Fury Over Final Sparring Partner, Says Boxer Isn’t Taking Their Fight Seriously

by

KSI has claimed that Tommy Fury isn’t taking his preparations for their upcoming fight seriously. The YouTuber’s evidence for this was the Boxrec profile of Fury’s latest sparring partner, Owen Kirk. Kirk is a 24-year-old fighter out of Morecambe, England who is 3-1-2 in his professional career. Kirk has drawn his last two fights and was presumably training with Fury in preparation for his October 21 bout in Liverpool. However, the young fighter clearly isn’t the caliber of opponent that KSI would like to see those fighting against him training with

KSI-Fury is the co-headliner for the DAZN Prime Card on October 14. The other main card fight is the much-hyped Paul-Danis, although at this point a lot of people are likely hoping that there’s a way both of those fighters can lose. Most experts believe that KSI is overmatched for this fight with the 9-0 boxer. Potential future opponent Jake Paul, who lost to Fury earlier this year, belives the fight will end with a fourth-round knockout.

Tommy Fury Predicts Brutal Win

Meanwhile, Fury is very confident about his chances. “KSI will be lucky to get out of round one. I’m sick of playing games with these guys. He’s going to get obliterated,” Fury said in a recent interview. Fury has four wins by KO, including two in the first round. So there’s precedent to say the least.

Fury’s comments come a few weeks after KSI gave a very anime-esque monologue during a face-off between the two fighters. “When I beat you, with every year that you breathe, that day will be a constant reminder that you lost to a YouTuber. You can train all you want, it won’t matter. Soon you will face reality and it will hurt you. You will be a disgrace for the Fury name and your boxing career will be destroyed when I’m through with you. You don’t want this as much as I do, you don’t need this as much as I do. No pressure, mate. I’ll see you soon,” KSI said before ending with his best villain laugh.

Jake Paul Pummels Adin Ross In Sparring Session

by

Jake Paul has become the latest fighter to humble Adin Ross. Ross has been on an IRL stream tour as of late, with a focus on sparring with a number of high-profile fighters. None of them have gone well for him. He lasted just 36 seconds against Ryan Garcia. Furthermore, he told Dillon Danis that he had “shit his pants” during their sparring session. The problem is that Ross does not appear to take the sparring seriously. Every video sees him talk a big game and then immediately start cowering and trying to laugh it off as “just jokes” when his opponent actually attempts to put him through his paces.

Furthermore, in the videos circulating of his stream with Paul, Ross drops his guard so quickly that Paul nearly clocks him with a hook to the jaw. However, Paul is able to pull the punch in time and instead uses it to push Ross into the corner. A doubled-over Ross attempts to charge Paul, who neatly sidesteps out of the way before working Ross again. In the final clip of the video, shared by Happy Punch on X, Paul works Ross against the ropes with easy before dropping him to the mat.

Maybe Adin Ross Should Stop Trying To Spar With Actual Boxers

It is painfully clear at this point that Adin Ross has absolutely no business being inside a boxing ring. For all this trash talk and peacocking, he immediately loses it all when even mildly challenged by an actual boxer. It’s just another thing to add to this sad streamer’s resume. It really drives home that Ross may cosplay the lifestyle but at the end of the day, he really ain’t shit.

However, it’s not the first time in recent weeks that Ross has been checked by the reality of his situation. During a call with Fousey last week, Ross became outraged to learn that Fousey had been texting with Ross’ sister Naomi. Despite the texts not being particularly egregious, Ross threw a massive tantrum. Going off Ross’ reaction alone, you’d think that Fousey was fucking Naomi right in front of him. But no, Ross has recently seen his whole facade collapse recently. He’s just a guy who found fame streaming online and running his mouth. Additionally, Travis Scott’s manager recently told him that he aint’ shit and considered a literal brand risk.

Blueface Spars With Floyd Mayweather On “Crazy In Love”

by

Blueface has built up a small reputation as a boxer, which his Chrisean Rock reality show “Crazy In Love” documented quite a lot. Moreover, the Zeus Network program gave us some more insight into the rapper’s athletic life on its latest episode. In fact, it threw pretty much the biggest challenge that he could’ve faced on his lap, albeit in a less serious fashion. In a new clip from the latest installment, the California MC sparred with none other than boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. What’s more is that Rock herself was there to watch, and many others cheered for both celebrities as they got into it in the ring.

Overall, for the true boxing aficionado, maybe this clip doesn’t seem all that impressive or noteworthy. After all, Mayweather responds to each punch Blueface tries to land on him with a resounding “No!” and cracked a smile on occasion. Still, it’s at the very least kind of cool to see that the “BDD” artist already got to box with one of the greatest of all time. Given that his last opponent was a TikTok star (that he beat), this level-up could only mean more opportunities and notoriety in the boxing realm in the future.

Blueface Versus Floyd Mayweather

However, a simple sparing session alone isn’t going to make you a household name on pay-per-view. Maybe Blueface will one day join the ranks of KSI, the Paul brothers, and many, many more celebrities and social media stars who get big bags for their boxing forays. On the other hand, there’s just as big of a chance of him just falling off from the activity altogether in the public eye. With this opportunity to duke it out with a powerhouse, maybe Blue will call it quits early.

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old has plenty more to keep his hands full on “Crazy In Love” this season, particularly Chrisean Rock’s pregnancy. Seeing them fight and feud over it has been nasty to see, and hopefully the child’s birth will ease things between the two. But just like with all things related to this volatile couple, only time will tell. With that in mind, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Blueface and Floyd Mayweather.

Nate Diaz Slammed For Performance In Sparring Session

by

Nate Diaz is set to fight Jake Paul at American Airlines Arena on August 5. The 10-round boxing match will be Diaz’s professional boxing debut and his first fight since his UFC contract expired in September 2022. For Paul, the fight is a chance to avenge his loss to Tommy Fury, as well as potentially grant him the leverage to challenge Conor McGregor.

There has been a lot of drama in the build-up to this fight. Diaz, who has absolutely no love for Paul, is looking to silence “The Problem Child”. However, Diaz has also tried to have the fight relocated out of Texas due to his THC prescription. Furthermore, recent bravado from Diaz saw Paul call his bluff and agree to a 12-round fight if Diaz really wanted one. Now reports are emerging about how Diaz is faring in training.

Sparring Partner Roasts Diaz

On June 15, Diaz sparred with Esquiva Falcão. Falcão is an Olympic silver medalist middleweight boxer who is 30-0 in his nine-year career. He is preparing for his first title fight on July 1, when he faces Vincenzo Gualtieri in Germany for the IBF middleweight title. Falcão’s review of Diaz’s boxing skill was far from glowing. “At first I thought he was tired, and in the end it looked like he was dying. His fighting style is cr*zy. You look at him and say, ‘Oh, he’s tired,’ and then we started sparring. [Coach] Robert [Garcia] told me in the second round, ‘He’s tired already, hold back a little bit and keep the rhythm so he does at least 10 rounds.’”

He continued. “I held back and kept boxing, and we did 12 rounds,” Falcao said of the sparring session. “He was tired, but taking punches and throwing, too. [He] is bad, [he] is bad, but since he’s too heavy — he’s overw*ight, probably around 220 pounds or more — and I’m the only big guy in the gym, I had to do it. But I liked doing it.” Definitely not a great review for someone a month and a half away from his professional boxing debut. However, as Falcão noted, Diaz’s performance might be a result of him weighing in at 35 pounds above fight weight. Despite this, it sounds like the MMA legend has a lot to do before he faces Paul in the ring.

Blueface Spars Against Floyd Mayweather

by

In case you haven’t noticed, Blueface has proven himself to be a pretty decent boxer. Although he has fought TikTok stars and Love Island hopefuls, he is still winning his matches. Overall, Blue is just an athletic person on the whole. He was a quarterback in high school, and he was pretty damn good at it too. Moreover, his slim frame allows him to be agile at all times. While some people may doubt his athletic ability, it is clear that he is very much dedicated to training. He has even attracted some big names from the industry.

As you can see below, we are talking about none other than Floyd Mayweather. Recently, his daughter YaYa linked up with Chrisean Rock. Consequently, it only makes sense that Blueface would spend some time with Floyd. As it turns out, they ended up sparring together. For those who don’t know boxing, sparring is the act of fighting someone with headgear on for practice. Neither side goes at full tilt, however, it is a good simulation for a real boxing match. Either way, getting to spar with Floyd is a pretty big honor.

Blueface Continues To Train

“Sparring with Floyd in may weather,” Blueface wrote on Instagram. Moreover, he actually got some praise from Floyd after the fact. The legendary boxer said that Blueface impressed him and that he really is the real deal. Overall, this is some very high praise. Floyd is very particular about who he backs, so giving Blue the go-ahead is pretty cool. However, if these two seriously got into the ring with one another, we imagine it would be an easy win for Floyd.

As for Blueface and his newfound boxing career, it really remains to be seen who he will fight next. It would be hard for him to attract big influencers like KSI and Jake Paul, as they have way more experience. Although, if he can win another match, perhaps those names will come to him. Let us know who you think Blueface should fight, in the comments section below.
