Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping confidently stated that he would easily defeat YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. Paul, known as “The Problem Child”, is currently preparing for his upcoming heavyweight clash with former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world Mike Tyson.

Since making his professional boxing debut four years ago, Paul has become known for challenging UFC legends. He can boast of victories in the ring over Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren and Nate Diaz. The 27-year-old enters the fight against Tyson following a knockout victory over former UFC welterweight contender Mike Perry.

Legendary UFC fighter Michael Bisping launched a scathing attack on Jake Paul during his fight Program on YouTubeunimpressed by the antics of the “Problem Child”. “You’re a joke,” Bisping exclaimed.

“You are a disgrace to the fighting world. You are a fraud. You’re a wannabe. You are phony. Take up the challenge, you pathetic human, pathetic individual.

“Fighting is about challenging yourself. That’s right, business. Killing him for that. But don’t give me crap about this fighter. This is what gets on my nerves. This man is almost 60 years ancient. He is almost retired. …Mike Tyson was a terrifying person. Facing this man in his prime, Jesus Christ, he was one of the scariest men we have ever seen in any combat sport. This man was a uncomplicated word killer.”

TNT Sports pundit Bisping again criticized the fight in an interview with: Mirror fight. “Jake Paul, listen, I have nothing personal against Jake Paul, but he just likes to attack the UFC, he likes to attack MMA fighters, and at the same time he picks guys who are not boxers,” he said.

“Go and box a boxer, go box a boxer, or go and fight someone your own age. That’s all you have to do and I will show you respect. He’s made a tremendous amount of money as a businessman, and I’m rooting for him for that, because at the end of the day, that’s what we’re all trying to do.”

Despite hanging up his gloves in 2017, “The Problem Child” continues to challenge the British MMA legend. Although Bisping has no intention of coming out of retirement, “The Count” issued a stern warning to the youthful American.

“But don’t tell me this is the worst man in the world, don’t give me this talk about the world champion. I don’t buy it for a second. “I mean, this man dared me not too long ago to send a contract to my manager,” he said. “I have been retired for a long time, I have one eye, I have had two knee surgeries. I would smoke Jake Paul in a heartbeat, but I won’t stoop to that.”

Tyson has not entered the professional ring since his fight with Kevin McBride in 2005, when he folded in defeat. Nevertheless, four years ago he returned for an exhibition fight against another icon, Roy Jones Jr.

Despite his mixed feelings about the upcoming heavyweight fight, Bisping supports the veteran. “I hope Mike Tyson does it, but the whole thing is a joke,” he said.

Mike Tyson comes out of professional retirement to face Jake Paul for eight two-minute heavyweight rounds on Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Tyson vs Paul streaming on Netflix.

This contest is based on both men’s professional records and took some time to prepare as Tyson (50-6, 44 KO) had to withdraw from the original July date due to ulcer exacerbation.

“Iron Mike” hadn’t fought as a pro since 2005 and was certainly in the twilight of his career, but at age 58 he had trained himself to take fighting “The Problem Child” seriously.

Tyson was, of course, the unified heavyweight champion, but he ended his career with three disastrous defeats in his last four fights, which were painful opening defeats to Lennox Lewis, Danny Williams and Kevin McBride.

Since then, he has had various exhibition fights, the last one in July 2020, when he won over Roy Jones Jr. over eight rounds.

Paul (10-1, 7 KO) has handpicked his opponents as a professional and has won four times since a split decision loss to Tommy Fury in February 2022, the latest being a sixth-round stoppage of Michael Perry, who had just one previous professional competition.

Taylor meets Serrano in a rematch

The main event here is the main support, with Katie Taylor defending her undisputed super lightweight crown against Amanda Serrano in a rematch of their April 2022 classic.

Taylor (23-1, 6 KO) entered that meeting having won the undisputed lightweight title by split decision, and since then Serrano (47-2-1, 31 KO) has returned to featherweight to pristine up the division.

The 36-year-old Puerto Rican was last sidelined in July, after stopping Stevie Morgan in the second round in Tampa.

Her Irish rival had just three more fights and the move up to super lightweight meant her first loss, a near majority defeat to Chantelle Cameron in Dublin last May.

The 38-year-old, however, will exact immediate revenge by taking her own majority verdict in the rematch last November.

Neighborhood fights Ramos

In the second of three world title fights, Mario Barrios will defend his WBC welterweight title against Abel Ramos.

Former WBA super lightweight champion Barrios (29-2, 18 KO) handed the title to Gervonta Davis in 2021, then lost to Keith Thurman before rebuilding.

Victories over Yordenis Ugas and Fabian Andres Maidana (both on the cards) earned him the WBC interim title, and in June he was promoted to full champion, making his first defense here.

Ramos (28-6-2, 22 KO) hardly deserves this shot as he has lost three of his last five fights, and he will enter this fight coming off a cautious fifth-round stoppage of Juan Ramon Guzman.

Green Faces of Watpool

The field includes vacant WBO super middleweight title Shadasia Green and Canadian Melinda Watpool.

Green (14-1, 11 KO) missed her first shot at a world title, defeating Franchon Crews-Dezurn for the WBC super middleweight world title last December, and Watpool (7-0, 2 KO ) wins maiden title chance at title.

Undercard remaining

The remaining ten fights take place in the lightweight category, where Lucas Bahdi (17-0, 15 KO) should defeat Armando Casamonica (14-0, 3 KO).

In the remaining eight rounds, Bruce Carrington (13-0, 8 KO) will fight his fourth fight of the year, and the featherweight fighter can stop Dana Coolwell (13-2, 8 KO), and the only six-round fight should feature middleweight debutant Whindersson. Nunes is ahead of Neeraj Goyat (18-4-2, 8 KO).

Sports striker Viktor Gyokeres expressed his gratitude to Ruben Amorim following his official move to Manchester United on Monday.

The Swede, who joined Sporting from Coventry City in July 2023 for a frigid £20 million under Amorim, has been nothing compact of a sensation for the Portuguese giants.

Having scored an astonishing 66 goals in just 68 appearances – including a recent spectacular hat-trick against Manchester City in the Champions League – Gyokeres has really made his mark, fueling speculation that Amorim could see a reunion with the goalkeeping machine at Premier League heavyweight Man Utd.

With Gyokeres previously on Arsenal’s radar during the summer transfer window, the Gunners have given up on the race, focusing their efforts on strengthening other positions in their squad.

While Amorim has rejected any immediate plans to poach talent from Sporting in the January window, experts have speculated that a summer attack could be on the cards.

For now, the Swedish talisman remains mute about his career, instead focusing on his contribution to Sporting Lisbon.

However, in a touching tribute on Instagram, Gyokeres did not hesitate to send his former mentor kind words as Amorim braves the challenges of the English Premier League.

Sharing three photos with Amorim, Gyokeres wrote with a heartfelt post: “Thank you for everything sir.”

Amorim hit the ground running on day one at Carrington, making significant changes to the coaching staff.

Ruud van Nistelrooy was among the most essential people who left the team, and Amorim acquired five fresh coaches – Carlos Fernandes, Adelio Candido, Paulo Barreira, Emanuel Ferro and Jorge Vital.
