This should be one of the biggest boxing matches to end the year 2021, and both Paul and Fury are excited about going in there and knocking each other’s heads odd. But although there are many people out there who believe that Fury is the toughest opponent that Paul has ever had in his short boxing career, Paul says he disagrees with that sort of sentiment.

Diaz saw the comments and replied right away, telling him that these comments are coming from a retired wrestler who can’t box, and therefore they don’t mean anything. That led to Paul then returning fire by telling Diaz that he has a bunch of losses on his resume, and then Diaz took a shot at Paul.

It was a close fight, but ultimately Paul was more active throughout the contest and won the fight on the judges’ scorecards.

The deal was that if Woodley got the tattoo for losing to Paul that he would get to fight him a second time.

Tommy and Tyson Fury send warning to Jake Paul: “Camp Sparta has begun!”
Adam D Martin - November 9, 2021
Tommy and Tyson Fury sent a warning to YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul ahead of their upcoming fight, announcing that “Camp Sparta has begun!” Tommy Fury steps into the ring next month when he takes on Paul in what is likely going to be the toughest fight of Paul’s boxing career. Although Paul does have wins over the likes of former UFC fighters Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren on his resume, Fury is an actual boxer so this would be a much bigger win if he gets it. Of course, that isn’t going to be easy to do, because Fury is one heck of a boxer himself. Not only is he young and talented, but he is also brothers with Tyson Fury, who is one of the best boxers in the world. So Paul is going to have an uphill climb, and the Furys want to let him know that.

Michael Bisping shares his thoughts on the Logan Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match
Adam D Martin - October 26, 2021
UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping shared his thoughts on the upcoming Logan Paul vs. Mike Tyson exhibition boxing match. It was recently announced that Paul would be fighting Tyson in an exhibition boxing match set for early 2022. For Paul, it will be his second straight high-profile boxing match against a legend of the sport following an exhibition fight with Floyd Mayweather earlier this year. There were no judges for that fight since it was an exhibition bout, but Paul would have lost the fight had there been scorecards. However, the fact that Paul was able to go the distance with Mayweather was impressive in its own right. But a guy like Tyson who is bigger and who hits harder is a completely different task and Paul is likely well aware of the power difference.

Adam D Martin - October 25, 2021
UFC welterweight superstar Jorge Masvidal believes that YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul was trolling with his big-money fight offers. Masvidal is set to step back into the Octagon at UFC 269 on December 11 when he takes on rival Leon Edwards. It’s the first fight for Masvidal since April when he lost via KO to UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. Even though he lost that fight, Masvidal remains one of the biggest stars in the sport of MMA today and so he became a natural target for Paul when he was busy calling out MMA fighters. According to Paul, he was willing to pay Masvidal upwards of $50 million to fight him, but Masvidal doesn’t buy it.
