The Problem Child’ Jake Paul was banned for life from UFC events by UFC president Dana White. Despite this, the YouTube and boxing star put on a disguise and snuck into the UFC event at The Sphere in Las Vegas.

Jake Paul Banned From The UFC

Jake Paul is a boxer, YouTuber, and a PFL Athlete, but he cannot attend UFC events. Paul was banned from all UFC events by Dana White approximately two years ago. This ban stems from a long-standing feud between Paul and White, as well as Paul’s disruptive behavior at past UFC events.

The ban came after an incident at UFC 261, where Paul’s presence led to a heated verbal exchange with former champion and commentator Daniel Cormier. During that event, the crowd chanted “F*** Jake Paul” in unison, further escalating tensions. Paul’s ongoing criticism of UFC fighter pay and his public feuds with Dana White contributed to the ban.

Boxing veteran Tony Bellew discussed Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson in an exclusive interview with Low Kick MMA. ‘The Problem Child’ will take on the heavyweight icon ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson on November 15, and we discuss the matchup.

Boxing Veteran Tony Bellew

Tony Bellew is an English former professional boxer who had an impressive run from 2007 to 2018, during which he became the WBC Cruiserweight World Champion and held several other titles, including the British and Commonwealth light-heavyweight titles. Bellew is recognized for his achievements in both the cruiserweight and light-heavyweight divisions, with a professional record of 30 wins (20 by knockout), 3 losses, and 1 draw.

After retiring from boxing following a loss to Oleksandr Usyk in November 2018, Bellew transitioned into sports commentary and analysis. He has worked with DAZN as a boxing analyst and has appeared on various television programs.

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson

Live on Netflix, YouTube star Jake Paul will face off against the 58-year-old Mike Tyson in a professional boxing match. It was previously scheduled, but the aged Tyson had to drop out due to injury. Jake Paul has made a name for himself fighting UFC veterans such as Mike Perry, Anderson Silva, Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Nate Diaz, among others.

Mike Tyson has not been active in boxing for about 20 years. His most recent bout was an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. Prior to that, his most recent match was his 2005 loss to Kevin McBride.

Speaking to Tim Wheaton of LowKickMMA with Tony Bellew in an interview, Bellew explained how serious this fight is. He said:

“Well, we don’t take it seriously. How seriously should they take it? Not very serious at all, to be honest. It does absolutely nothing for anyone, especially from a professional boxer’s perspective.“

Is Jake Paul on Steroids?

Many pundits have accused ‘The Problem Child‘ Jake Paul of being on PEDs. To this, Tony Bellew explained:

“That’s a strong accusation to use until he’s been there. You’ve gotta wait to see if he fails a drug test. That’s unfair. That’s harsh to be fair. That’s not nice. There are worse people than him in the world doing what they’re doing but I don’t know, we’ll see.”

Boxing Lifestyle

Tony Bellew added that boxing is not something that an athlete partakes in as a game, it is a lifestyle. He explained:

“You’ve got to live it, mate. It’s not a sport that you can play around with. You’ve got to live it. It has to be your life. As I said, a lot of people get it mixed up and think it’s some kind of sport or it’s a glorified hobby. It’s literally a way of life and that’s the best way for me to explain it to you.

“It’s so, so difficult and it takes so much of your life over. Like I gave it too much if I’m being totally honest. It took over my life. It was an obsession. I was obsessed with becoming a world champion. Live it, these kids out there, go and learn. Go to as many gyms, go to as many coaches as you can, pick up as many chicks as you can because you’re going to need them, but ultimately, live the life.“

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will be meeting in the boxing ring on November 15 featured on Netflix. It sounds as though the boxing icon, and former champion, Tony Bellew won’t be jumping out of his seat to watch this match.

Later on, we will be discussing the upcoming Oleksandr Usyk Tyson Fury 2 matchups, as Tony Bellew has experience in the ring against the heavyweight king Usyk.

Canelo Alvarez dominates Edgar Berlanga in heated title clash – Alvarez vs. Berlanga Highlights

Canelo Alvarez added another dominant decision victory to his resume on Saturday night in ‘Sin City.

Returning to T-Mobile, ‘Canelito’ put his WBA, WBC, and WBO super middleweight titles on the line against undefeated standout Edgar Berlanga in a fight that delivered the fireworks throughout its 12-round duration.

Berlanga came out looking a little jittery in the opening moments, but eventually found his footing and worked on splitting Avarez’s guard with a series of stiff jabs. Berlanga’s striking finally started to open up in the second stanza as the challenger landed some nice body shots and connected on multiple combinations.

Perhaps tired of playing with his food, Alvarez picked it up in the third and caught Berlanga in the corner with a lightning-fast left hand that sent his undefeated challenger crashing to the canvas. Berlanga answered the referee’s count prompting Alvarez to swarm and unleash of flurry of strikes. To Berlanga’s credit, he managed to survive the onslaught and made it out of the round.

Berlanga attempted to turn it on again in the later rounds, but an apparent injury to his right hand kept him from offering much in the way of offense until the final 10 seconds of the 12th when the two fighters decided to slug it out.

In the end, it was Alvarez who came out on top with a fairly dominant victory, taking the win on all three judge’s scorecards by a landslide.

Official Result: Canelo Alvarez def. Edgar Berlanga via unanimous decision (117-110, 118-109, 118-109)

Check out highlights from Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga:

Ex-UFC champion Benson Henderson wins boxing debut, hands Nate Diaz teammate Chris Avila his first loss

Former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson went 10 rounds against two different opponents in his pro boxing debut on…

Former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson went 10 rounds against two different opponents in his pro boxing debut on Saturday night in Newcastle, England.

After dominating the MMA scene for more than a decade, ‘Smooth’ traded in his four-ounce gloves for a pair of 10-ouncers as the Colorado Springs native looked to take home two wins and become the Pro Stake Tournament champion at the MF & DAZN: X Series 18 event on Saturday.

First up was a scrap with Chris Avila, an undefeated boxer best known for his affiliation with Stockton’s own Nate Diaz.

Avila came out strong, taking the center of the ring and pressuring Henderson into the corner, but it was ‘Smooth’ who appeared to have the upper hand early, landing some big shots and more than holding his own against the more experienced boxer. Henderson ramped up the aggressiveness in the second and seemingly took the first two rounds, though his striking began to look a bit sloppy as the fight grew longer.

Henderson’s suffocating style continued in the third with him walking down Avila, showing the former MMA fight zero respect. Avila offered some nice work to the body of Henderson, but the fight slowly began to slip away from the Stockton native. It was more of the same in the fourth and fifth rounds with ‘Smooth’ dominating the action and leaving no room for Avila to catch his breath and look for the knockout shot he desperately needed.

By the time the final bell sounded, it was clear that Henderson would see his hand raised, handing Avila the first loss of his boxing career.

Official Result: Benson Henderson def. Chris Avila via unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 48-47)

With the win, ‘Smooth’ moved on to a clash with Idris Virgo. ‘The Bodybreaker’ punched his ticket to the Pro Stake Tournament finals earlier in the evening with a big first-round KO against Mohammed Faisal.

Returning to the ring a few hours later for their tournament final, Virgo flew out of his corner and immediately looked to land a booming right hand against the former UFC champion. Virgo’s pressure kept ‘Smooth’ backpedaling early, but was unable to land the knockout blow he was desperately looking for.

The second and third rounds saw both fighters continue to slug it out. Virgo landed the more impactful strikes while Henderson attempted to trap his opponent against the rope, emulating a game plan he perfectly executed multiple times throughout his mixed martial arts career. That decision proved successful, particularly in the fifth round where Virgo’s offense was largely stifled by the unending pressure of Henderson.

With 10 seconds left to go, Virgo and Henderson decided to slug it out, but neither was able to put the other away, sending us to the scorecards.

Official Result: Idris Virgo def. Benson Henderson via unanimous decision (49-47, 48-47, 48-46)

Deontay Wilder Reveals Bold Pick for Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson: “Suffer the consequences.”

Deontay Wilder thinks the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation made a big mistake by sanctioning Mike Tyson’s fight with Jake Paul as a professional bout.

On Friday, November 15, the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ will return to the ring for the first time in nearly two decades when he takes on ‘The Problem Child’ inside the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. From the moment their fight was announced, pundits have slammed the pairing, many of them taking exception to the ridiculous 31-year age gap between Tyson and the YouTube star.

Deontay Wilder Fears for Mike Tyson’s well-being in Jake Paul fight

Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder recently voiced his disgust for the TLDR’s decision to license Tyson, believing that it could put the 58-year-old icon in serious harm.

“I think it’s bad the commission has licensed Mike Tyson because he hasn’t been active in 20 years, so they should not just license him because of who he is, that’s how people get hurt, god forbid he gets hurt,” Wilder told talkSPORT. “People can get hit in the wrong place and at the wrong time, there’s lots of examples where guys have been hit into a coma. It’s easy to do. He’s too old for this.

“At the end of the day, no one gives a f*ck about Mike. We can talk about the pros and cons, but at the end of the day, they don’t give a f*ck. I don’t think anyone cares about Mike because if they did they wouldn’t sanction the fight.

“They may say they’ve done tests and all that, ok, but as long as you’re willing to suffer the consequences if something bad goes wrong. His power may not have left completely but you still need to set it up, your stamina needs to be a certain way, or it’s going to look like a clown show.”

Paul vs. Tyson has already been postponed once after ‘Iron’ suffered a medical emergency during a cross-country flight in May. The incident was ultimately chalked to an ulcer flare-up, but it was enough to push the fight out of its originally scheduled July 20 date.

Paul vs. Tyson will air exclusively on Netflix.
