Jake Paul is looking thick ahead of his showdown with ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson.

On Friday, July 20, ‘The Problem Child’ will make his 11th walk to the squared circle for a clash with the former undisputed heavyweight world champion inside the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The fight will broadcast live on Netflix around the world and will be backed by a stellar undercard that already includes the most anticipated rematch in boxing history and Darren Till’s long-awaited debut in the sweet science against legendary pugilist Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Eight weeks away from what could very well become the most-watched fight of all time, Jake Paul shared a video of himself on social media, showing off his new heavyweight physique.

“I’m a natural-born heavyweight,” Paul said at the kickoff press conference. “This is what I was born to do: to move up into this weight class. I’m going to show Mike who has more power because he’s underestimating me. I think everyone else is underestimating me and I believe that I hit harder. I know it’s going to be tough. I know I’m going to have to fight through adversity.

“I know I might even go to the canvas. I’m scared, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not about the fear stopping me. It’s about going into it, even though I am scared. That’s what true bravery is.”

Jake Paul Accused of Using PEDs ahead of Tyson fight

Fight fans online were quick to call out Paul, particularly on the “natural” part, accusing the YouTube star of juicing ahead of his tussle with Tyson in The Lone Star State.

There’s so many people coming. It’s such an event. All the big stars are here. It’s going to be epic. I can’t wait for Saturday night.”

Fury insists this is the most important fight of his career.

“If I was fighting an old dosser on Saturday night who had five fights and lost them all, it would be very important to me,” Fury continued. “Every fight I’ve ever had is important to me. Every little fight along the way was important to me. I believe that every left and right turn I’ve ever taken in my life, every time I’ve fallen over, and every time I’ve climbed up was all leading to this moment. It’s destiny.”

Calling his shot for a clash with polarizing grappling talent, Paddy Pimblett on enemy territory in Manchester, perennial lightweight challenger, Bobby Green is slated to meet the Liverpool star at UFC 304 on July 27. from the Co-op Live arena this summer.

Green, the current number fifteen ranked division contender, featured at UFC 300 back in April, landing a one-sided victory over veteran fan-favorite, Jim Miller over the course of three rounds in a bloody affair.

As for Pimblett, the former undisputed Cage Warriors featherweight champion has been sidelined since last December, where he took home his own dominant unanimous decision win over common-foe, former interim champion, Tony Ferguson on the main card of UFC 296.

Prior to his victory over surefire Hall of Fame star, Miller, San Bernardino native, Bobby Green had dropped a hellacious KO defeat to Jalin Turner last year, which snapped an impressive two-fight winning spree.

Racking up a main event return knockout win over American Top Team star, Grant Dawson, veteran contender, Green had previously submitted the above-mentioned, Ferguson with a late third round arm-triangle choke.

Boasting an undefeated record inside the Octagon since his landing back in 2021, Huyton native, Pimblett has recorded consecutive wins over Luigi Vendramini, Kazula Vargas, Jordan Leavitt, Jared Gordon, and the above-mentioned, Ferguson.

UFC 304 is slated to take place on July 27. From the Co-op Live arena in Manchester, England – with an undisputed welterweight championship rematch fight between Leon Edwards, and Belal Muhammad set to take main event honors.
In the co-headliner, interim heavyweight gold holder, Tom Aspinall takes on perennial contender, Curtis Blaydes in another title fight re-run.

UFC 304 will be topped by Leon Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad for the welterweight title, along with Tom Aspinall vs. Curtis Blaydes for the interim heavyweight strap (details here).

I guess he does “want that” after all.

Lightweight sensation Paddy Pimblett will look to break into the division Top 15 when he battles ranked veteran Bobby Green as part of the upcoming UFC 304 pay-per-view (PPV) event, scheduled for Sat., July 27, 2024 at Co-op Live in Manchester, England.

UFC CEO Dana White announced the booking earlier today on social media.

Pimblett (21-3) is undefeated in five trips to the Octagon and was last seen capturing a unanimous decision victory over the fading Tony Ferguson at UFC 296. As for Green (32-15-1, 1 NC), he rebounded from a knockout loss to Jalin Turner to outpoint Jim Miller at UFC 300 just last month.

“Bobby Green screamed my name on the mic after [UFC 300],” Pimblett said on YouTube. “Didn’t surprise me, know what I mean? He might be ranked, but he’s got no followers and he needs me. Just like everyone else, they want to fight me because they know I’m the boy. Bobby Green’s an option. If Bobby Green wants to fight, I’m there.”

I guess that Renato Moicano fight will have to wait.

UFC 304 will also feature the featherweight showdown between Arnold Allen and Giga Chikadze. Elsewhere on the card, Manel Kape and Muhammad Mokaev hook ‘em up at flyweight, not long after Bruna Brasil and Molly McCann collide at 115 pounds.

Stay tuned for more UFC 304 fight card announcements in the coming days.

Michael Bisping weighs in on Khabib Nurmagomedov tax fraud allegations: ‘Come on brother, pay tax’

Michael Bisping can’t see Khabib Nurmagomedov facing any major penalties or punishment for his alleged tax fraud in his home country of Russia.

Earlier this week, a report from Mash claimed that ‘The Eagle’ owed 306 million rubles, or $3.3 million, to the Russian Federal Tax Service after allegedly diverting funds earmarked for his tax bill into business ventures outside of the country. As a result, multiple accounts associated with Nurmagomedov’s businesses, including his MMA promotion Eagle FC, were frozen.

If guilty, Nurmagomedov could face steep fines and potential jail time, but one UFC Hall of Famer doesn’t believe it will come to that.

“Khabib has represented Russia on the world stage for a long time and Russia’s, just like every bloody government, crooked as hell, and Russia is right up there with the best,” Michael Bisping said during a recent episode of his Believe You Me podcast with Anthony Smith.

“But I would think that with Khabib being one of theirs, he’s pretty tight with Putin, that’s what I’m trying to say. With him f*cking repping Russia to the highest, it’s like pull him to one side like, ‘You little d*ck head. What you doing? You gotta pay your taxes. What is this bullsh*t? Come on brother, pay tax’” (h/t BJPenn.com).

Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Team Denies Reports of Tax Fraud

Khabib Nurmagomedov and his team have denied the allegations. In a statement to TASS, they said: “The information about tax debt is inaccurate. Khabib continues to engage in business projects and develop them.”

‘The Eagle’ walked away from the UFC in late 2020 following his third-straight lightweight title defense against Justin Gaethje. He retired with a perfect 29-0 record and was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in July 2022. From the moment he laid down his gloves, rumors have persisted that he would one day return to try and pick up his 30th career win.

Thus far, those reports have been proven false, but with Nurmagomedov’s reported tax trouble, fight fans are once again holding out hope that the Dagestani star will make a comeback.

Finally!

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) today announced reigning welterweight champion Leon Edwards will defend his title opposite No. 2-ranked title contender Belal Muhammad in the upcoming UFC 304 pay-per-view (PPV) main event, scheduled for Sat., July 27, 2024 at Co-op Live in Manchester, England.

Edwards (22-3, 1 NC) battled Muhammad to a “No Contest” back in early 2021, a fight that ended prematurely due to an accidental eye poke. In the three years since their first meeting, Edwards has won four straight, capturing the division title along the way. As for Muhammad (23-3, 1 NC) he’s a perfect 5-0 since their first encounter, having recently disposed of Gilbert Burns at UFC 288.

That’s not all.

Current UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall will put his substitute strap on the line in a heavyweight rematch against No. 4-ranked title contender Curtis Blaydes. Aspinall lost to “Razor” at UFC London back in summer 2022 after blowing out his knee, which cost the hulking Brit a year on the sidelines.

UFC CEO Dana White confirmed the bookings on social media.
