Darren Till stated: “You are just shit. Sorry to be disrespectful, but you really are shit. You fall off your feet and flap your wings. Actually, I don’t think so. you realize what you’re getting into with me. So I won’t even talk, I’ll just beat you. I respect you and then I’ll just move on because you really are shit, I promise you, you’re shit.”

Anthony Taylor calculated: “He may have more experience in the cage, but I have more experience in the boxing ring. You can’t expect an MMA or UFC fighter to come in and beat someone who has that kind of boxing experience. Look what happened when Mike Perry came to box with Jake Paul. He felt ashamed.

Logan Paul directly approached Ari Emanuel, the head of Endeavor, owner of the UFC and WWE, for a chance to face Conor McGregor in the ring.

Last month, it was reported that McGregor was negotiating to fight Jake Paul’s older sibling. On X – the platform formerly known as Twitter – the Irish fighter denied rumors of a fight with UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria, stating: “The rumors about the fight with Topuria are false. I have preliminary arrangements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul at a boxing exhibition in India. I then agreed to return to the octagon.

This potential megafight could net both fighters a staggering $250 million. Even though “The Maverick” recently confirmed his commitment to WWE, the tempting offer of a fight with the former two-time UFC champion might just lure him back to the boxing ring.

In a novel clip on his YouTube channel, Paul was seen attending the premiere of WWE Raw on Netflix. He did not compete but appeared in a pre-recorded interview before taking his ringside seat. The 29-year-old influencer was spotted hanging out with wrestling stars like Kevin Owens and LA Knight, but his most captivating moment was his clash with Emanuel – the huge boss of Endeavor and TKO Group, the entities behind WWE and UFC.

Paul was captured in a candid moment as Emanuel gave a candid hug and handshake before saying, “Ari, I need one favor from you,” to which the Endeavor boss replied, “Yes.” Give me the green featherlight to fight Conor.” There was a shared laugh and they both said “seriously” almost in unison.

The same footage also showed Paul’s openness to facing McGregor, despite his WWE commitments. Referencing the previous interaction, the clip then cut to a sequence suggesting a phone conversation about a potential fight, allegedly with McGregor on speakerphone and announcing: “This could really happen,” Paul holding up his cellphone. “It can and will happen,” the Irishman confidently assured.

In the following scenes, Paul brainstorms promotional ideas with WWE writer Rob Fee, considering announcing the end of his boxing career for shock value. “Saying no more boxing will attract attention,” he noted, quickly correcting himself. “Because it’s not true. If Conor McGregor wants to fight, we do it. I mean, bro, that’s an epic match… That would be something I’d like to do, step away from WWE for a while [that fight]. $250 million, bro. I have to take it. If Nick Khan can achieve this, I will stay in WWE.”

Paul noted that the Irishman appeared to be nudging UFC chief Dana White to approve the fight, saying, “I think he’s trying to put pressure on Dana to make it happen because he’s owned by the UFC,” and noted, “He can’t f**k *******, let alone fighting without them knowing.

However, White recently issued a challenge on the Pardon My Take podcast, pointing to a different path for “The Notorious”: “Ultimately,” he said in regards to a potential fight with McGregor in 2025, adding emphatically: “No, no (he won’t fight KSI or Logan Paul]I hope Conor McGregor returns in the fall.

Conor Benn predicted such a devastating victory over Chris Eubank Jr. that his entire name would be tarnished.

Eubank Jr and Benn have signed a contract to fight in the rescheduled middleweight grudge match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April.

The pair were scheduled to fight in October 2022, with the clash based almost entirely on the legacy of their fathers, who fought twice in the 1990s but were postponed a week before the fights after Benn tested positive for a banned substance clomiphene.

Since then, a brutal war of words has ensued between them and Benn, who insists he will claim a decisive knockout victory.

“I don’t want to knock him out for legacy reasons,” the 28-year-old said Boxing in the match room.

I want to knock him out because it’s personal and I think he’s an idiot.

“Thank you to the British audience for supporting me and being behind me, so I owe it to them.

“There is no other fight that the British public deserves.

“I think I knocked him out so bad that that’s all he’ll be remembered for.

“The whole Eubank name will be remembered for this knockout.

“I go in there and take his head off his shoulders, that’s all.”

“The Destroyer” fought his last two fights in the USA, but received a fleeting suspension abolished by the National Anti-Doping Panel in October, meaning he will be able to resume his career in the UK.

The fighter from Essex, who will advance two weight classes in the fight against the 35-year-old, held talks with WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios before sealing the fight with Eubank Jr.

“I know a lot of people would like to see me win the WBC world title,” he added.

“Due to the lack of belief among experts, boxing connoisseurs and the media that I will never reach the level at which I could fight for the WBC world title.

“The possibility of winning this match would close the eyes of many people.”

The pair went head-to-head in the ring after Eubank Jr knocked out Kamil Szeremeta in Saudi Arabia in October, and the fight will headline a card prepared by Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh, who announced the fight signing on Wednesday morning.

“Eubank Jr vs. Benn played in April in London called (Fatal Fury City of the Wolves),” he wrote on Twitter X.

“I will announce the day and location soon. This will be The Ring’s first card in collaboration with the video game and SNK, and I will be pushing for a fan PPV price of £19.99, with a challenging undercard.

“Let’s make boxing great again and wait for the huge announcement soon.”
