Jake Paul is planning on bulking up to 240lbs ahead of his upcoming clash against Mike Tyson before cutting down.

The pair are scheduled to square off on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas in a professional contest streamed live on Netflix.

Paul has mostly competed at cruiserweight or at a 190lbs catchweight during his 10-fight (9-1) pro career.

But against Tyson, he will make his heavyweight debut.

In preparation for the fight, ‘The Problem Child’ has been pilling on the mass.

Shane Mosley, a former three-weight world champion and Paul’s trainer, recently revealed the YouTube star is walking around at 230lbs.

However, he doesn’t intend to stop there.

“It’s just like shocking to people that that is how much I weigh,” Paul said on his podcast.

“I think just because normally I’m fighting at 200 and walking around at 210. It’s weird to me that I’m weighing 230.

“But since this was noodling after my last fight I’m just getting to eat as much as possible and it turns out my body carries this weight super well.

How Tyson and Paul stack up

“And I’m only growing. I think I’ll get up to 240 and probably cut down so I’m like way faster.

“But if I’m training for this camp – and camp hasn’t started – but if I’m training in this camp at 240 and then I cut down to 220 it’s basically like I had a 20lbs weight vest on for the whole entire camp.

“So my muscles are going to be so much stronger and that speed will come through.”

Before Paul begins his cuts down to 220lbs he will be walking around at the same weight that Anthony Joshua tipped the scales at for his inaugural encounter against Oleksandr Usyk in September 2021.

This is especially remarkable given that AJ has five inches in height on Paul and is a much bigger human being.

Tyson fought at around 220lbs during his prime years and came in at 220.5lbs for his exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr in November 2020 – ‘Iron Mike’s’ last appearance in a boxing ring.

In a recent interview, boxing legend Mike Tyson offered advice to Canelo Alvarez, urging him to steer clear of a potential bout with David Benavidez. Tyson emphasized the challenges that Benavidez presents and cautioned Alvarez about the risks involved in facing such a formidable opponent. The recommendation adds fuel to the speculation surrounding Alvarez’s next opponent and the dynamics of the middleweight division.

Boxing has witnessed legends such as Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather Jr. captivating audiences with their impressive performances in the ring. Recently, there has been a lot of talk about a comparison between ‘Iron’ Mike and ‘Money’ Mayweather in their primes. However, this comparison has not been received well by the boxing community.

A boxing page named Pulse Sports Nigeria shared a post comparing Tyson and Mayweather, and it has gone viral online. Moreover, the comparison between Tyson and Mayweather has provoked a strong reaction from the boxing world, with many expressing their anger and frustration on social media.

While both boxers are undeniably talented, they are very different fighters with different styles and approaches. Tyson was known for his raw power and aggression, while Mayweather is considered one of the greatest defensive boxers of all time. It is worth mentioning that when asked who his top five all-time greats in boxing were, ‘Money’ Mayweather did not include Tyson in his list. Similarly, Tyson has also not shied to take shots at Mayweather. Meanwhile, many felt that this comparison was undue as they reacted to the post.

Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather being compared draws wild reactions

A user named Wale Oyawale claimed it was insulting to compare Tyson to Mayweather. According to him, the former heavyweight champion was a far superior boxer until his career declined after 1990. “This is an insult. Iron mike was in his own world, I don’t care what happened to him from 1990 till his career faded off,” he wrote.

Another user named Ichie Arinze Clement thought that it was “stupid” comparing the two legends. “Very stupid questions from jobless journalist.” they wrote. Moreover, a user named Jerry Usuk also thought it was not appropriate to compare a heavyweight boxer with a lightweight. ” heavyweight division boxer vs a lightweight boxer? Jokes on ya’ll,” he wrote.

Mike Tyson Reveals Why He Didn’t Respect His Trainers

However, a user named Joseph Jnr Terkaa went with Mayweather citing his defensive prowess over Tyson’s aggression. “Mayweather more technical and all Tyson power, I have to go with Mayweather his defense is topnotch,” he wrote. Lastly, a user named Hagin Edwin claimed that both fighters were elite talents during their primes and could not choose. “Both were the best !” they wrote.

The comparison between Tyson and Mayweather is not a meaningful one. Both have achieved incredible success in the sport of boxing, and both have left their mark on the history of the sport in different ways. Moreover, while there is nothing wrong with discussing the legacies of these two great boxers, it is important to do so in a way that respects their individual accomplishments and strengths.

Jake Paul puts his record on the line against TysonTyson said he was eating RAW MEAT in training for his first professional fight in over 20 YEARS.

And UFC commentator Rogan believes the disgusting claim will strike fear into Paul without a punch even being thrown.

Rogan said on his podcast: “He goes, ‘I just eat raw meat. I’m eating raw meat’.

“He goes, ‘You’re eating raw meat?’ He goes, ‘Yeah, I’m eating raw meat’.

“He goes, ‘Because that’s what I’m going to eat when I fight. I’m going to eat him, just raw meat’.

“Jesus Christ, he’s in this f***ing mode. He’s in that God of war mode.

“Bro, he’s in savage mode. If I was Jake Paul right now, I would be s****ing my pants.”

Tyson revealed he has banned himself from 𝑠e𝑥 and smoking weed in training to help instal discipline.

But that is not the only eyebrow-raising reveal Iron Mike has made ahead of his boxing comeback.

Interviewer Damon Elliott said: “You look like 20-years-old. What the hell. What are you eating?”

A topless Tyson, 57, responded: “Raw meat.”

Elliott replied: “Seriously, Mike? You’re eating raw meat?”

Tyson chillingly warned: “I’m going to have to eat it now because my opponent’s going to be raw meat.”

Red meats like beef and some fish can be eaten raw but it is not recommended as it harbours illness-causing bacteria.

During Tyson’s prolific heyday, he ate up to 4,000 calories a day, enjoying steak, pasta, chicken, rice and fruits.

The boxing legend used to fight at 220lb (15st 7lb) during his reign of terror at heavyweight.

Paul has weighed as light as 183.6lb (13st 1lb) but his last two bouts have been at the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb.

Although he revealed astonishing plans to hit 240lb (17st 1lb) in training before cutting down two stone to 220lb.

He said on podcast: “I’m just getting to eat as much as possible and it turns out my body carries this weigh super well.

“And I’m only growing. I think I’ll get up to 240 and probably cut down so I’m like way faster.

“But if I’m training for this camp – and camp hasn’t started – but if I’m training in this camp at 240 and then I cut down to 220 it’s basically like I had a 20lb weight vest on for the whole entire camp.

“So my muscles are going to be so much stronger and that speed will come through.”

An image of Jake Paul’s physique has got fans online talking.

A picture of Jake Paul’s physique ahead of his pro bout against Mike Tyson has emerged online and fans think the fight is already done.

The eagerly-awaited showdown between Paul and Tyson is set for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Both fighters took part in a press conference to kick-off the promotion for their blockbuster clash as they were involved in a telling face-off.

Tyson, who’s making his first ring appearance since his exhibition bout against fellow boxing great Roy Jones Jr in November 2020, has documented his training on social media, showing off his legendary power and hand speed.

And, for the first time, Paul has shown off his heavyweight frame, having campaigned in the cruiserweight division.

He claimed he’d enter the bout around 240lbs and judging by a topless picture of the 27-year-old, he could very well hit that mark come fight night.

Most Valuable Promotions shared a clip of ‘The Problem Child’ on social media and fans online are convinced he’ll be victorious when he meets the boxing icon.

One X user wrote: “I think the 2 minute rounds are for Jake after seeing this.”

A second tweeted: “Jake Paul is looking gigantic.”

A third added: “Mike Tyson is finished.”

A fourth said: “Someone pray for Mike Tyson.”

Another argued: “He’s not a natural heavyweight, whatever weight he fought at last is where he’ll do best. Still think he’ll beat Tyson.”

Paul, who beat Ryan Bourland in his last outing, plans to bulk up to 240lbs before cutting down.

“And I’m only growing. I think I’ll get up to 240 and probably cut down so I’m like way faster,” he revealed.

“But if I’m training for this camp – and camp hasn’t started – but if I’m training in this camp at 240 and then I cut down to 220 it’s basically like I had a 20lbs weight vest on for the whole entire camp.

“So, my muscles are going to be so much stronger, and that speed will come through.”

Nasir has covered some of the biggest fights, while interviewing the likes of Conor McGregor, Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Darren Till. He’s also an avid Bristol City fan.

In a bizarre twist of events on April Fool’s Day, Jake Paul reportedly broke down in tears, pleading with his brother, Logan Paul, to persuade Mike Tyson to cancel their highly anticipated match.

The incident sparked a wave of erroneous headlines, including one that claimed, “Jake Paul Officially Canceled Mike Tyson Fight After Being KO’d In Sparring.” However, with pranks aside, the actual status of the match scheduled for July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, remains uncertain

The fight is currently listed on the official event calendar for AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.

Joe Trahan, Director of Media Relations & Corporate Communications for the Dallas Cowboys, confirmed to USA TODAY Sports that there have been no indications from either fighter’s camp suggesting the event is in jeopardy. “As far as I know, everything’s locked in,” Trahan stated.

Despite the apparent commitment, the fight has yet to receive formal approval from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Tela Mange, Communications Director for the TDLR, mentioned that while a date request has been submitted by the promoter, no proposed fight cards have been received for review.

“All bouts are subject to review and approval by TDLR,” Mange emphasized, noting that requesting a date does not guarantee the event will occur.

**Common Cancellations**

Mange explained that it is not uncommon for events to be canceled, with promoters often withdrawing for various reasons before or after submitting fight cards.

The approval process involves evaluating the fight records of the combatants to ensure fair pairing, with the final decision resting with TDLR interim Executive Director Brian E. Francis and the TDLR Combative Sports staff.

**Combatants’ Readiness and Medical Clearances**

Mike Tyson, a legendary two-time world champion with a record of 50-6 and 44 knockouts, is scheduled to fight Jake Paul, who boasts a 9-1 record with six knockouts.

However, Tyson, who is 30 years older than Paul, has not fought professionally since 2005. Both fighters must undergo necessary medical tests, including EEGs and EKGs, with the possibility of additional testing as deemed appropriate by the TDLR.

**Historical Cancellations Involving Tyson**

Historically, Tyson has experienced fight cancellations, most notably a postponed bout with Evander Holyfield in 1991 due to a rib injury. The fight was delayed until 1995 after Tyson’s conviction and imprisonment for rape in 1992.

More recently, in 2018, a bout between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin was canceled a month before the scheduled date after Alvarez tested positive for a banned substance, with the fight eventually taking place five months later.

**Ticket Sales Yet to Commence**

As of now, tickets for the Tyson-Paul fight are not yet available for purchase. Trahan noted the unconventional approach to ticket sales, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the event. “We’re just not really sure,” Trahan remarked regarding the ticket situation.

**Conclusion**

While the fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul remains on the calendar and both camps seem committed, the final approval from the TDLR and the pending ticket sales introduce an element of uncertainty.

Fans eagerly await further developments to see if this blockbuster match will indeed take place as scheduled.

Dana White believes Conor McGregor and Mike Tyson are two of the smartest men alive when it comes to fighting.

The UFC boss helped ‘Notorious’ become a global superstar worth £200 million, but it wouldn’t have been possible without some exceptional performance in the Octagon.

McGregor ruthlessly ran through the featherweight division before knocking out long-time champion Jose Aldo to take his newfound fame to extraordinary heights in 2015.

The Irishman went on to win another belt at lightweight before cashing in on his celebrity status with a crossover boxing bout against Floyd Mayweather, which made him $100 million.

Tyson enjoyed a similarly destructive run in boxing before losing his undisputed heavyweight championship in the biggest upset of all time against Buster Douglas in 1990.

White believes his biggest UFC star and ‘Iron Mike’ share one key trait that makes them great.

The MMA mogul says McGregor and Tyson have ‘off the charts’ fighter IQ.

Fight IQ is essentially ring or Octagon intelligence. More than mastering technique, it’s the art of understanding when to do certain things during a fight and the ability to make adjustments in the heat of battle.

“When you hear him speak, he’s very articulate about fighting,” White said about McGregor on the In Search of Excellence Podcast.

“Again, when you talk fighter IQ. Like, [Mike] Tyson, Conor’s fighter IQ is off the charts.”

White also praised McGregor’s business acumen after he went from collecting dole cheques ahead of his UFC debut to topping Forbes’ list of rich athletes in 2021.

He added: “Conor is a tremendous businessman.”

“I mean, Conor is one of the best partners, if not the best partner, we have ever had when it comes to being in business with somebody.

“If you look at all the brands he has built off of his brand, [he’s a] very, very sharp kid.”

McGregor hasn’t fought in nearly three years, but he’s still the UFC’s biggest star because he’s stayed in the spotlight since getting injured in July 2021.

The 35-year-old will make his comeback against Michael Chandler at UFC 303 on June 29 – but first, the two men are expected to embark on a world tour to promote the event.

A win will put McGregor in line for a title shot and a defeat will leave his MMA career in limbo.

Whatever happens, White is sure McGregor will be fine as he’s got the fighter IQ to get back on track and the business brain to make money away from MMA if he chooses to.

Melissa McCarthy reveals the truth about Meghan Markle’s personality after collaboration

Melissa McCarthy has expressed her formal endorsement of Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, in a candid statement. Having previously collaborated with the Duchess on a project, Ms. McCarthy has voiced her perplexity regarding the negative attention and criticism directed towards Her Royal Highness.

In her remarks, the esteemed Hollywood actress conveyed her dismay at the unwarranted attacks on Ms. Markle, describing the situation as disheartening for all women and individuals. She eloquently stated, “It bums me out for every woman and every person, that for no reason people just like to attack. A smart interesting woman that has her own life, for some reason, is incredibly threatening to some people.”

Furthermore, Ms. McCarthy, aged 53, expressed her admiration for Ms. Markle’s accomplishments, asserting, “I always think, how inspiring! I’ve never once been threatened by someone who is amazing. I just think how inspiring. It’s really on the people throwing the hate.” She proceeded to characterize the Duchess as “wonderful” and “awesome.”

It is evident that Melissa McCarthy holds Meghan Markle in high regard and finds the negative attention directed towards her to be unjustified and disheartening, particularly in light of the Duchess’s intelligence, independence, and inspiring nature.

In the year 2021, Melissa participated in a video collaboration with Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, to commemorate the latter’s 40th birthday and launch a mentorship program titled “40×40.” The video playfully satirized Meghan’s role as a member of the Royal Family and featured a cameo appearance by Prince Harry.

At the time, Melissa expressed her admiration for the couple after working with them. In an interview with Access Hollywood, she stated, “They were so sweet and funny, I just found them very inspiring. They’re carving out their own lives. They’re carving out their lives for their kids.”

This development comes amidst criticism directed towards Meghan and Harry for their perceived insensitivity in pursuing new Netflix projects despite the ongoing challenges faced by the Royal Family. Recent reports indicate that the couple is currently engaged in the production of two new shows for the streaming platform. The first project will showcase Meghan’s appreciation for culinary arts, gardening, entertaining, and fostering friendships, while the second will be filmed during the US Open Polo Championship, according to insider sources.

The recent launch of the Duchess of Sussex’s lifestyle brand and its inaugural product, a jar of American Riviera Orchard strawberry jam distributed to 50 influencers for tasting, has drawn criticism from royal commentator and former friend of Meghan Markle, Lizzie Cundy. This development coincides with reports that the Princess of Wales and His Majesty the King are both undergoing treatment for cancer.

In a formal statement to GBN America, Ms. Cundy expressed her disapproval of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s pursuits during this time of crisis for the Royal Family. She accused the Duchess of attempting to “relaunch herself as a Gwyneth Paltrow type” and claimed that she is “not reading the room.”

“They’ve got these new Netflix shows about making jam and cookery and gardening, and there Harry’s about polo playing, it’s not really relatable,” Ms. Cundy stated. “I think it’s pretty insensitive when Catherine’s going through what she’s going through and the King is going through his cancer issues too, it’s really insensitive, to be honest.”
