Logan Paul ‘eager to fight brother Jake’ after Mike Tyson fight postponed

Published

on

Logan Paul has thrown his hat into the ring to potentially replace Mike Tyson and face his own brother Jake Paul in Texas. Jake’s original fight with the boxing icon was scheduled for July 20, but was postponed to November 15 due to Tyson’s health problems.

During the flight, Tyson experienced a flare-up of his ulcer, which led to his training being interrupted and his return postponed.

In an episode of his podcast with Donald Trump, Logan revealed his willingness to step in: “I was ready to fill in for Mike Tyson when Tyson got diseased and had to postpone his fight,” he revealed. “We actually took it to the next level on Netflix.”

Trump addressed the family situation, noting, “It’s strenuous for brothers to argue,” Logan replied, with the financial incentive in mind: “No to Netflix. Not for huge poop. Think about it once and for all. Me and Jake decided that of course we both came from a place of love and regardless of the outcome, we had to come to terms with it. But of course I love my brother.

Despite the delay in his fight against Tyson, Jake is expected to face former UFC fighter and current brawler Mike Perry soon. Both men have been exchanging comments for some time, which suggests that a final decision is inevitable.

Jake has fought in the ring with former UFC fighters, including Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva and Ben Askren. His adventure with professional boxing began last year, when he was defeated for the first time by Tommy Fury.

Logan’s boxing career was less successful, with a draw in his first match against KSI and then a loss in the rematch in Los Angeles. He later fought Mayweather in a no-scoring exhibition match before his fight last year with Danis was abruptly stopped in the final round due to a ring security breach.

This isn’t the first time Logan has replaced Tyson after news broke that the fight would have to be postponed. In early June, Logan posted on X regarding the fight, apparently calling out his brother while trying to salvage the long-awaited fight.

“So Mike Tyson is out? I’ll step in and we’ll sort this out for everyone @jakepaul?” – wrote elder Paweł on social media. “Mom doesn’t want me to knock you out, but fuck it. The loser must change his name.”

Even though the two are brothers, both Logan and Jake have had a fierce rivalry over the years. For example, Jake feels as if Logan has snubbed him after he teams up with Jake’s longtime enemy, KSI, to start and promote Prime Energy, a sports drink similar to Gatorade.

While Logan’s offer to Jake may gain more traction among their fans, it doesn’t look like Jake won’t eventually face Logan in the ring. Tyson also made it clear that he was still considering the Jake fight, even though it had been temporarily postponed.

“Overall my body is in better shape than it has been since the 1990s and I will be returning to a full training schedule soon,” Tyson said in a statement. “Jake Paul, you may have bought yourself some time, but in the end you will still be knocked out and taken out of boxing for good. I appreciate everyone’s patience and look forward to delivering an unforgettable performance later this year.”

Jake Paul’s body language speaks volumes when he comes face to face with Conor McGregor

Published

on

Jake Paul seemed noticeably disinterested as he and his older brother Logan were on the same bus as their fierce rival, former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor.

The three were connected on Monday before Donald Trump’s inauguration in Washington. The 78-year-old is scheduled to be sworn in today as the 47th president of the United States, eight years after he first took the oath of office.

Due to the presence of many stars at this historic event, emotions are still growing. However, fans were stunned when McGregor was seen posing next to the Paul brothers and riding in the same vehicle. Both Jake and his older brother Logan were accompanied to the ceremony by their mother, Pam Stepnick.

In a post sent to X – formerly known as Twitter – ‘The Problem Child’ shocked the combat sports community after posting a photo of the Irishman sitting behind him and his brother. Jake captioned the photo: “Inauguration going great.” One user responded to the snapshot: “I never thought I’d see a photo like this, with all the beef over the years,” while another wrote: “I can’t believe what I’m seeing.”

Despite the ongoing feud between brothers Paul and McGregor, it seems like “The Problem Child” wasn’t too concerned about being in the same distance as the UFC legend.

The photo surfaced shortly after Jake decided to take a swipe at McGregor online and posted: “Now it all makes sense why Conor Mcgregor and his management team were desperately trying to get MVP to negotiate a fight between us. As we’ve told them privately and now I’m saying it publicly… the only way we’re willing to compare me to Conor in a professional boxing/MMA fight is if Dana White/UFC are directly at the table or make it clear that everything ok with the discussions. Conor needs Logan if he wants.

Despite Paul’s choice of words, it seems the Irishman is more focused on his older brother Logan. Last month, it was reported that McGregor was negotiating to fight Paul’s older sibling. On the way to I have made preliminary arrangements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul at a boxing event in India. I have agreed, and then I will try to return to the octagon.”

Even though “The Maverick” recently joined WWE, the tempting offer of going toe-to-toe with McGregor might just lure him back to the boxing ring. The 29-year-old directly approached Ari Emanuel, the head of Endeavor, owner of the UFC and WWE, for a chance to face “The Notorious”. In a video uploaded to YouTube, “The Maverick” and Emanuel can be seen warmly hugging and shaking hands before saying, “Ari, I need one favor from you,” to which the Endeavor boss replied, “Yes.” Paul made the following request: “I want you to give me the green featherlight to fight Conor.” There was a shared laugh and they both said “seriously.”

Anthony Taylor collapsed minutes after Darren Till KO and viewers were left terrified

Published

on

There were disturbing scenes during the last Misfits Boxing gala in Manchester on Saturday evening when Anthony Taylor collapsed after being stopped by fellow MMA fighter Darren Till.

The American took up the fight shortly after Tommy Fury withdrew, but he was no match for Till, who dominated from the very beginning.

In his first boxing fight, the Liverpudlian looked outstanding from the bell, displaying impressive hand speed and having no trouble countering Taylor’s aggressive approach.

Threatening to KO from the start, Till secured a stoppage in the sixth round.

But what happened next shocked those who watched the event. Taylor, who entered the fight with a 7-4 boxing record, broke down in post-fight interviews. He was later taken away from the Co-Op Arena in a wheelchair.

Many assumed that Taylor was then taken to the hospital for tests. However, according to Ariel Helwani, after being given oxygen and found to be stable, he was allowed to return to his accommodation.

Misfits co-founder Mams Taylor later confirmed that Taylor had regained consciousness. He also said Taylor did not need a hospital visit because he was “conscious and well” when he entered the locker room.

He later posted a video on social media in which he spoke clearly and promised to bounce back from the shocking defeat. “It’s OK, I took the L (loss) like a motherfucker,” he said.

“I’ll be back. I’m fine. Thank you all for your love and support, thank you to everyone who makes fun of me too. I don’t give a damn. I deserve it. But at the end of the day, I’ll fucking come back.”

“Pretty Boy,” who has a professional MMA record of 7-5 but has not fought since August 2019, also took aim at Fury. WX wrote, “Now we know why Tommy Fury backed out,” along with two laughing emojis.

The Misfits Boxing 20 main event was only organized after the Manchester fighter withdrew. The younger brother of former heavyweight champion Tyson stated that he was not content with Till’s claim that he would resort to “MMA tactics” if he lost the fight.

Do later denied that he wasn’t stern when giving the warning, saying it was simply a marketing tactic. It wasn’t until December 29 that it was confirmed that Taylor had stepped in as a replacement.
