Jake Paul tattoo in an attempt to catch the attention of the YouTuber turned boxer has been left red-faced.Mairis Briedis called out Paul and got a warning to the Problem Child tattooed on his thigh in January but has been unable to secure a fight with the unbeaten social media star since.Instead he is now set to defend his IBF cruiserweight world title in Australia later this year against Jai Opetaia, according to News.com.Meanwhile, Paul has yet to even acknowledge Briedis' challenge as he flirts with the possibility of switching to mixed martial arts in the future.Briedis, who's only professional loss came against Oleksandr Usyk in 2018, showed off his tattooed warning to Paul back in January after calling him out.The 37-year-old Latvian got the message "Jake's bad karma" and a deer's head inked on his thigh as part of his attempts to secure a big money fight.At the time, he told iFL TV: "I saw Jake had a tattoo that said 'karma' and thought I could combine it with my deer logo."It looks very nice, that's why we're even speaking, this year I've had a lot of ideas for what I need to do, I don't know what's happened.Who should Jake Paul's next opponent be?

Tyson Fury has told Jake Paul that he needs to fight Tommy Fury to get his viewing figures up after a disappointing PPV sales number following his last fight.

Jake Paul has been told the terms and conditions that he needs to follow in order to set up a fight with UFC legend Conor McGregor.Paul made the move into professional boxing two years ago, and has defeated two mixed martial artists in ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley and Bellator champion Ben Askren.He has however always had his eye on a boxing bout with one of MMA’s greatest in McGregor, previously commenting that it was one of the reasons he began boxing in the first place.Paul said last week: “I want to fight Conor McGregor.

Frank Warren has reiterated that Eddie Hearn has no involvement in Dillian Whyte’s clash with Tyson Fury.And the Queensberry chief has warned Whyte he must sign the contract to face the Gypsy King by this weekend or his WBC heavyweight title shot will vanish.Warren won the purse bids to stage the bout after the WBC confirmed Whyte as Fury’s mandatory challenger.They are in discussions with Whyte’s lawyer and expect him to put pen to paper this week before the February 19 deadline.Warren said: “If he doesn’t sign he’s out. Those were the terms of the purse bid.“Why wouldn’t he sign? He’s getting a massive purse, it makes no sense for him to sign.”Whyte is expected to sign the contract but is still looking for more than the £5.6m on offer.He may refuse to do any promotion for the fight if he doesn’t get a bigger offer but it won’t come.Whyte has the chance to add a further £3.1m if he becomes the first man to beat Fury.The Body Snatcher won’t have to pay a cut to Hearn, who has promoted the majority of his professional fights.Hearn has no contract with Whyte as they always worked on a fight-by-fight basis.Warren added: “One, we’re not dealing with him, we’re dealing with Dillian Whyte’s lawyer.“He has no involvement unless we’re told otherwise.“We’ve been dealing and negotiating with his lawyer, and that’s it.“He has a lot of things to say, he said Tyson was never going to fight Deontay Wilder the first time.

Jake Paul is still ranked below a boxer who has lost all of his fights despite fancying himself as a future boxing world champion.The YouTuber has massively popularised celebrity fights in recent years, turning professional and winning all five of his bouts while raking in around £20million in the process. The 25-year-old has knocked out four of those opponents, including former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley twice, but is still not rated highly by BoxRec.And the controversial social media star will be devastated to learn he is only ranked number 676 in the world across the cruiserweight division.Out of a total 1,050 active boxers, Paul’s accomplishments do not even land him in the top half of his division.It also means he is 200 places below Thomas Russell, who has a jaw-dropping record of 0-18.The harsh ranking may be a surprise to some given his wins over AnEsonGib, Nate Robinson, Ben Askren and Woodley, but Paul is still yet to face a fellow professional.And it comes despite his trainer and former WBC cruiserweight title contender BJ Flores claiming he was the “biggest up and coming star” in the sport.He said: "Jake is a superstar.

Mike Tyson has reportedly walked away from taking on Jake Paul in a boxing clash.The former world heavyweight champion, 55, was believed to be in talks with YouTuber-turned boxer Paul 25, over a potential big-money exhibition fight expected to take place in Las Vegas.Tyson, who last fought in an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr back in November 2020, played down the rumours last month by denying talks had even taken place between the two parties.But a deal was reportedly close to being agreed until Tyson pulled out after realising he was not being paid enough money, according to The Sun.A source close to ‘Iron Mike’ told The Sun: "Mike did not want to resume full-scale training to a level that the world would expect, unless he thought the money was right."But what seemed like a good idea at the turn of the year is now no longer a top priority." The pair’s representatives had secretly been working on a pay-per-view fight for later this year with a rumoured windfall of £36million.However, a business associate of Tyson confirmed that the heavyweight turned his back on the deal due to the numbers not adding up.Do you think Mike Tyson still would have beaten Jake Paul in a boxing match?

UFC star when he was asked about Jake Paul and his request to be allowed to challenge Khabib Nurmagomedov.The pair have been in contact over social media, after retired MMA legend Khabib had confirmed he had offered Paul a place in his new Eagle FC fighting promotion.YouTuber Paul agreed to take part, with one condition, responding: "Deal. Only if I fight you first."Some might describe the American as brave for agreeing to a fight with one of the UFC's greatest ever competitors, who retired without ever tasting defeat.UFC light-heavyweight Anthony Smith, however, is less impressed and has labelled Paul as "ignorant" and "stupid" for believing he could go toe-to-toe with Khabib.Asked about the situation on Michael Bisping's podcast, Smith said: "It drives me crazy.

Tommy Fury's chances of seeing a bout against Jake Paul rescheduled appear to be even more unlikely following the latest jibe from the American.

Jake Paul has advised Conor McGregor to add more calcium to his regime because his "bones are f*****g breaking."'The Problem Child' was among the first to pillory UFC star McGregor after his trilogy fight opposite Dustin Poirier last July ended when 'The Notorious' broke his tibia (shinbone) at the end of the opening round.Paul, 25, even had a $100,000 (£73,500) 'Sleepy McGregor' chain custom-made in an effort to rile up his would-be rival, having repeatedly teased the prospect of fighting the Irishman in recent years.Appearing at a press conference to promote Katie Taylor's upcoming lightweight title fight against his fighter, Amanda Serrano, Paul insisted McGregor would have to earn the chance to fight him in future."I don't give a s**t about Conor," the Most Valuable Promotions face told Mirror Fighting at Monday's press conference."I just want to fight him and smack him in the head - in that sense I hope that he can win some fights so that we can actually fight."But the guy is a grown-a*s man, he needs to figure out his life; it seems to be falling apart from what I can tell."It seems no coincidence that McGregor's fortunes in the Octagon have suffered just when his other enterprises and business ventures outside of it have flourished.The Irishman's Proper No. Twelve whiskey has proved a major hit, leading McGregor to more recently launch his Forged Irish stout, regularly uploading clips to social media of him enjoying his own wares.Do you think Jake Paul will ever fight Conor McGregor? Let us know in the comments section."Obviously, everything's through a lens, we don't know what he's going through actually," Paul added when asked about McGregor's drinking habits.“That’s clearly one of his many problems.

Molly-Mae Hague has reacted to Tommy Fury's first boxing training footage since injury caused his fight with Jake Paul to be postponed.Fury had been set to face Paul in Tampa back in December, before a broken rib and a chest infection caused the former Love Island star to withdraw from the fight.Paul went on to face Tyron Woodley for a second time instead, beating the former UFC world champion with a vicious sixth round knockout.He has since dismissed talk of rescheduling the bout with Fury, although the Brit has stated his intention to rearrange the fight once he is back to full fitness.Ahead of a potential return to the ring, Fury has shared the first footage of his return to training as he uploaded a clip to Instagram on Sunday.The video, captioned "Coming for everything...

Anthony Joshua declined the offer of £15m to step aside and let Tyson Fury fight Oleksandr Usyk because he doesn't trust the Gypsy King.That's the view of AJ's promoter Eddie Hearn with Joshua having lost his heavyweight titles to Ukrainian Usyk last September.

The deposit has gone in and plans for the huge event are being finalised.We will announce the date and venue once all the details are ironed out so stay tuned.We are in contact with Whyte’s lawyer and are confident he will sign soon to face the Gypsy King.Why wouldn’t Whyte want to take this fight for the WBC heavyweight title?He’s getting paid a hell of a lot of money for it and it is his chance to fight for a major belt against the best on the planet.I’m not sure why interviewers keep asking Eddie Hearn for details about the fight as it has absolutely nothing to do with him. Unless Dillian tells us otherwise, Matchroom are not representing Whyte for this fight, and we will continue working on finalising everything through the parties Whyte wants, which is not Matchroom.

Eddie Hearn has said Jake Paul is "on a mission" as he admitted he "started" the boxer's rise to prominence.The sports promoter gave the 25-year-old a platform for his professional debut against fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib in 2020.Since then, he has reached a record of 5-0.Their paths are now crossing again as a super fight between Hearn's Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, who is signed to Paul's Most Valuable Promotions, has been set for Madison Square Garden. While the upcoming fight in April was the focus of the first press conference, Hearn and Paul shared a lighthearted face off during it.And speaking to The MMA Hour afterwards, the Matchroom chief said: "I promoted his first fight, two years ago.
