Jake Paul
So I’ve never been a fan of Jake Paul and these YouTube fighters. I don’t think it does the sport and those who compete in it any good.
But now he’s fighting a professional Boxer , so it deserves a thread on the Boxing forum.
I happen to think Fury has sold his soul to the devil and basically admitted he ain’t getting to the top of the sport. But if he loses, there is now way back. Thoughts?

Re: Jake Paul v Tommy Fury December 18th.it’s Offical
Is Tommy fury much more of a pro boxer than Jake paul is? This fury looks to have fought similar competition to Jake paul, and his best opponent was an old mma wrestler guy :S... Fair enough he's taking on someone who's being training boxing for a while, I'm slightly interested to see how it goes. I don't mind the paul gits scamming people with their boxing endeavors, they're putting the work in so fair enough... I just don't think they should call out guys they know they'll never fight (Logan Paul calling out alvarez and anyone)... Good luck to them all, I'm not paying for any of it though.

Hopefully Fury ends the Logan brothers you tube freak show once and for all. The only issue is Fury will get paid so much he may not have the passion to work his way up.

Re: Jake Paul v Tommy Fury December 18th.it’s Offical
I don’t get it at all. I hate to be “that guy” but the influencer aspect of this generation really makes me wonder- people are rich/famous not for being particularly gifted at anything other than having an opinion and being a jack ass. This “fight” is a great example- how many true fighters out there are better and more deserving of a main event PPV fight? Marvin Hagler is rolling over in his grave….

Don’t worry about being “that guy”, you’re spot on. This is the thing that bugs Me. Jake Paul isn’t a terrible Boxer, but he’s earning out of Boxing what World Champions earn.
It’s never fucking right, and anyone who says “it puts Boxing in the spotlight” is wrong. Are we saying Jake Paul is bigger than Boxing?

Tyson Fury ‘terrorising’ Jake Paul with social media messages before Tommy Fury fight
Tyson Fury has said he has been “terrorising” Jake Paul with social media messages ahead of the YouTube star’s boxing match against the heavyweight champion’s younger brother Tommy.
Paul, who is 4-0 as a professional boxer, will take on Tommy Fury (7-0) in Florida on 18 December, and the latter’s half-brother Tyson is helping to train his sibling for the fight.
“I’ve been terrorising Jake on his inboxes,” Fury told iFL TV.
“They think they’re little talkers, [Jake and brother Logan], but welcome to my world.
“I rule the talking world, me. Not pretend videos and stuff, actually like rule it.”
Fury and his father John accompanied Tommy during Wednesday’s pre-fight press conference, which Paul attended via video call.
Insults were exchanged throughout the chaotic event, but Fury is confident that Tommy will be composed on fight night.
“I know how good Tommy is,” the 33-year-old said. “I’ve seen him knock people spark out in the gym every day. He’s a real banger.
“And when gets one shot on Paul, he’ll be kissing the canvas. Goodnight Vienna. Bye, bye.
“I want a big, old, dirty knockout like Tommy keeps talking about.”

Re: Jake Paul v Tommy Fury December 18th.it’s Offical
I know it's off now, but I've no idea why this has been billed or touted as Jake Paul finally against a 'proper' boxer. They're both novices with a handful of fights. Fury has a handful of amateur fights under his belt but nothing worth writing home about. If you like Fury is a proper boxer, but on paper only.
I know it leaves a sour taste in the mouth Jake Paul gatecrashing boxing and bringing a non boxing fan base with him. No one had a problem when a football crowd followed Ricky Hatton into the boxing ring. If you put bums on seats whether that be at home (of course they're all at home, live streaming themselves watching a live stream of Paul) or in venue, you get paid accordingly.
That said someone needs to give both the Pauls a hiding. Just to set the record straight. I wouldn't be pinning my hopes on Tommy Fury flying the flag for boxing mind you. It's just as likely to be a complete embarrassment.

Re: Jake Paul v Tommy Fury December 18th.it’s Offical

Hell... better yet. I'll fly over and watch it in person.
Geez... I hope it doesn't sell out before I can get tickets!!
Wow... Jake Paul.

Eddie Hearn bluntly tells Jake Paul to his face that he won't be world champion
Eddie Hearn has explained to Jake Paul that he "doesn't think" he can become world champion despite praising him for his boxing career to date.
The pair are currently co-promoting the historic undisputed female clash between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano and will be in the UK together to attend press events related to the fight.
Hearn promoted Paul's opening professional bout in the ring and the YouTube star has continued his career moving to an undefeated record with five victories.
Paul has explained his desire to become world champion during an appearance on talkSPORT Breakfast : "I was ready to fight a professional boxer, I had a poster up in my gym from Eddie that says 'when are you going to fight a real boxer?' that I look at before I enter the gym.
"It's only been two years since my debut and I have continued to increase my level of opposition. I have a long way to go because I spar against world champions and I have a giant chip on both shoulders to prove everyone wrong and I am going to just for fun."
Hearn was then asked while sat with Paul if he thought his co-promoter could become world champion, to which he responded: "I don't think so, but he likes proving people wrong not gonna lie.
"But there are so many great fighters out there and the problem is with Jake is that he has a wrestling background so he has spent time in combat.
'But he doesn't have a boxing background and it is no disrespect to Jake you can't just turn to boxing and become world champion, but he will of course try to prove us wrong."
Paul then replied: "I think boxers are easier to fight than MMA fighters because they are more predictable and they don't hit as hard. And the can't take as big of a punch."
Hearn and Paul have a great working relationship and have continued to get on well during the early stages of promotion for their historic female fight.
The pair engaged in a comical 'face-off' after the US press conference to promote the clash and were seen chatting afterwards.
Paul has frequently spoken of his desire to become world champion in the sport and believes he is taking the sport more "serious" than his brother Logan.
The YouTube star is yet to face a boxer with a natural background in the sport, despite having planned to meet Tommy Fury before the Briton withdrew with a broken rib injury,
Last year he defeated Ben Askren before beating former UFC champion Tyron Woodley twice while generating an estimated worth of $40 million from his exploits.
He has spoken of his desire to compete with pound-for-pound king Canelo Alvarez and believes the pair could realistically meet within the next three years.

Re: Jake Paul v Tommy Fury December 18th.it’s Offical
Tommy Fury is set to appoint Shane McGuigan as his trainer for the upcoming grudge match against Jake Paul. The pair have been rivals for some time and were originally scheduled to meet in December of last year only for Fury to pull out due to a broken rib and a chest infection.
They will meet on August 6 at Madison Square Garden in New York and Fury has made the decision to pick McGuigan as his cornerman.
John Fury - father of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury as well as Tommy - is unable to attend the fight in America due to visa issues.
It means Tommy has been on the search for a replacement and it is expected to be McGuigan who takes over. The trainer - son of legend Barry McGuigan - has made his own name in the sport as a coach and is regarded as one of the world's best.
He has previously guided Carl Frampton to world glory in two divisions, unified the light welterweight division with Josh Taylor and more recently Lawrence Okolie to the WBO cruiserweight title.
Fury - currently 8-0 as a professional - confirmed the fight last week in a social media post.
"After weeks and weeks of waiting for Jake Paul to sign up to the drugs testing - and potentially putting the fight at risk - he's finally signed up to the drug testing," Fury said.
"We've agreed a contract that we're happy with, so the fight is going ahead and I'll see you August 6." Fury was responding to a post by Paul 24 hours before, accusing him of ducking a potential fight with him.
He said: "Tommy Fury, you pulled out last year. Then you agree to fight me now but your dad is trying to pull you out again?
"We've given you everything you asked for. $2million purse. VADA testing. Tampons. You have 24 hours to clear this up or I will never give you this opportunity." Paul, meanwhile, will be trained by former cruiserweight contender BJ Flores and currently has a record of 5-0, including two wins over former UFC world champion Tyron Woodley.

Re: Jake Paul v Tommy Fury
Tyson Fury and Jake Paul have agreed to a $1million bet on the latter’s fight with Tommy Fury this August.
YouTube star Paul has gone 5-0 since beginning his professional boxing career, knocking out each man he has faced – including former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in December.
Woodley was stepping in for Tommy Fury – half-brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson – after the Briton withdrew due to illness and injury.
Now American Paul, 25, and Fury, 23, are scheduled to clash at last, with a bout scheduled for 6 August at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Tyson Fury said in a recent interview that he would bet “100 grand” on his younger brother to beat anybody, and Paul called out the “Gypsy King” shortly thereafter.
“Tyson Fury, who made $40m last year, is willing to bet $100,000 on his brother. Oh, my god, we’re shaking,” Paul said in a video on Twitter.
“Hey, Tyson, you f*****g p***y, you made $40m. I know it wasn’t as much as me, but let’s up the ante. Let’s bet $1m on it, Tyson. $2m, $3m. However much you want to f*****g bet, let’s do it. Are you down? Make a deal.
“I can tell when someone’s not confident because these p***y motherf*****s are on Twitter. They’re scared, I can tell when they’re scared. But me, I’m a cold motherf*****, I’ll bet anyone – any time, any place. So, f*** your $100k. Let’s make this a better bet and make it worth a couple million. Are you down?”
Tyson Fury did not take long to respond, accepting Paul’s proposal.
“Hey, Jakey boy, I hear you want to bet a bigger bet than $100,000,” Fury said in a video on his social media channels. “If you want a bigger bet, you want a million dollars, let’s do it. Holler at your boy. You want a million? You got it.
“Hey, Jakey. I want to see this $1m in escrow, sucker, because I don’t think you’ve got a million dollars.
“I’m not talking about crypto, I’m talking about real US green bags motherf*****.”
Tommy Fury is 8-0 as a professional boxer but first became known for his assocation to Tyson and his appearances on the British reality television show Love Island.
He last fought in April, outpointing Daniel Bocianski on the undercard of Tyson’s knockout win against Dillian Whyte at London’s Wembley Stadium.

Re: Jake Paul v Tommy Fury
“I’ll cut you up and chop you to bits, just like I did to Bocianski),” Fury said. “That lad in there would kill Jake Paul on the spot. He’d slap Jake Paul. Jake Paul, I will end your career. You’re a bum and you’re no good. Let’s get this fight done.”

Re: Jake Paul v Hassim Rahman Jnr
Hashim jr is a pretty hefty guy isn't he, fighting around 220+ I think there's going to be a good amount of weight draining going on in this fight, Jake Paul is fighting around 190 I think so Rahman jr has a month to lose 30 lbs ? Don't think it will go well for jr.

hasim jr will have to cut a bit, he has been as high as two sixtyish & his last fight was two twentyish. i guess he jumped at the opportunity coming of a loss

Re: Jake Paul v Hassim Rahman Jnr
Oh wow he was at 260 :S. Hashim Dr got up pretty high in weight at Times to, I think he was pushing 280 at times... I haven't seen junior fight but I thought he was fairly respected as a youngster, obviously he's not gone on to achieve a lot by the age of 30 but sounds like he's a proper boxer.. Who knows what he's walking around at.. O liked Hasim sr so I hope junior gives Paul a whipping but I have a. Bad feeling this is a set up.

hasim jr is pretty poor but i think he had about one hundred amateur fights. in saying that jack was a guy making youtube videos & he has been fighting guys who have fought for vast periods of their lives. i also suspect jack's team have selected hasim jr carefully to showcase jack. i hate to admit this but jack comes in shape & is trying to learn the craft, i have seen other prospects face much softer opposition in their first five fights than jack

Re: Jake Paul v Hassim Rahman Jnr
Jake Paul has included a 'private' weigh-in on the terms of his deal to fight Hasim Rahman Jr because of the disparity in weight between the pair.
YouTube star turned boxer Paul was scheduled to fight bitter rival Tommy Fury on August 6 at Madison Square Garden, but Rahman stepped in when the Brit was unable to produce proof that he could travel to the US after being turned away whist on route to a press conference for the fight.
Rahman, the son of a former heavyweight champion, is 12-1 as a professional with all of his fights taking place at heavyweight. The 31-year-old has weighed as much as 269lb during his career but last weighed-in at 224lb for his stoppage loss to James Morrison, who is the son of former heavyweight boxer Tommy Morrison.
Rahman will need to lose even more weight to make the cruiserweight limit to face Paul, with Fight Freaks Unite reporting that the pair will be contractually required to weigh no more than 214lbs at 12pm on the day of the fight.
Paul, who has weighed 190lb for most of professional bouts, has sparred Rahman twice before. 'The Problem Child' recently published footage of the pair having a row after one of their sessions, writing: "I’ve wanted this fight ever since Hasim ran his big mouth to me two years ago in the gym.
"My brother and manager didn’t want me to take this fight. They said it was too much risk. The New York State Athletic Commission didn’t want to approve this fight because they said Hasim had too much experience for me. He has over 100 amateur fights. 10x more than Tommy, but I'm built different."
Rahman has insisted that he isn't being paid to lose against Paul and he will become the first man to defeat the 25-year-old. Paul is undefeated in five professional fights and has beaten former UFC champion Tyron Woodley twice, Bellator champion Ben Askren, basketball star Nate Robinson and fellow YouTube star AnEsonGib thus far.
“ Jake Paul and I sparred two years ago and let’s just say I took it easy on the kid,” said Rahman Jr. “August 6 is not a sparring session. I am going to separate him from God’s conscience. My name is Hasim Rahman Jr., and I am going to knock out Jake Paul. Period.”

Re: Jake Paul v Hassim Rahman Jnr
KSI and Jake Paul are going at each other once again on social media ahead of their individual fights next month against Hasim Rahman Jr (Jake Paul) and Alex Wassabi (KSI).
August is gearing up to be a huge month for boxing fans as not only do we have those two stars stepping foot in the ring once again, but we also have Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua 2.
All three events are going to be on pay-per-view, with the pricing already getting people talking, with KSI and Jake Paul having words on Twitter about the cost.
Paul is now taking on 12-1 professional boxer Hasim Rahman Jr after Tommy Fury pulled out of the fight due to restrictions preventing him from travelling to America.
Rahman Jr stepped in at short notice to ensure Paul has a fight on the night, keeping the event going ahead and giving us a huge fight to still soak in on August 6 at Madison Square Garden.
It’s certainly a good test to see where Paul is in his boxing career and ability, going up against a professional fighter who has only lost the one fight to date.
KSI is taking on fellow YouTuber Wassabi on August 27 at the O2 Arena in London, it may not be as big of a clash as Paul’s with no professional fights on the undercard either, but it’s surely going to be a sell-out given the size of the YouTubers.
For the three professional fights at MSG, Paul and his team are charging a huge $59.99 to watch the clash on pay-per-view, with KSI slamming his rival for the pricing, saying: “$60 PPV. I PROMISE you all that my PPV this August 27th will be less than that.”
In response, Paul wasn’t holding back how he felt, quoting KSI’s tweet and putting: “No s**t dummy. You have one ‘win.’ I have five. Coming off KO of the year. You’re fighting an influencer. I’m fighting a 12-1 legit boxer. We are not the same. You shouldn’t charge more than $10.”
In fairness to Paul, the difference in undercards and main event fights is huge in terms of actual boxing. If you’re wanting to watch high level fights with genuine fighters then there’s only one place to be.
This all adds to the hope that Paul and KSI will step in the ring against each other to finally settle their long standing feud.

Re: Jake Paul v Hassim Rahman Jnr
The complete crumbling and finger pointing over weight stipulations surrounding this patchworked match is really an indictment on the elites and stars treating their weight divisions as mere suggestions for years now. Just throw 20 percent at it or drop a strap and accept the weight to gain favor etc. Rahman jumped at millions and unrealistic clauses, Jake jumped at scrapping together a prior event that collapsed and stacking the deck fully. Feel bad for professionals on undercard who got the night off too. Showtime needs to rethink itself and what it wants to be about. Likewise, fans and what we'll fall for.

Apparently he also offered KSI’s opponent money to drop out of his you tube fight out of petty bitchiness because KSI offered to stand in for Rahman and Jake Paul didn’t want it . He’s already beat the other Brother.

To be honest, I am warming to Jake Paul a bit. He’s trying to extend himself, the Fury and Rahman fights falling through wasn’t down to him, he’s the best of these you tubers.
My usual problem with him is that for the level he is , he’s earning more than he deserves compared to other hard working pros.
But he’s not the only one doing that, it’s been going on forever in sport in general.
And that the governing bodies are not doing enough to control him or the sport. But again, not his fault and just goes to show what a golden crock of shit sport is .

Also, if he did get to fight one of them 3, LIKE YOU WANT, you would be falling right into his trap.
What gives him the right to step in the ring with any of them, apart from money?
Other hard working pros would die for that opportunity.
You’re literally feeding the problem.
