Heavyweight boxing legend Butterbean has challenged Jake Paul to a fight, offering a massive £1.5 million prize.

This comes ahead of Jake Paul's planned fight against boxing icon Mike Tyson in November.

Jake Paul, who recently beat Mike Perry, is set to face Tyson later this year. However, Butterbean, a knockout star from the 90s, has offered Paul a chance to fight him first.

Butterbean, real name Eric Esch, made the offer on TikTok, saying, "Hey Jake Paul, would you fight me for $2m [£1.5 million]? Winner takes all."

Paul has faced some criticism for fighting the 58-year-old Tyson, but Butterbean, 57, is also ready to return to the ring. Butterbean, who has been training and transforming his body, has wanted to fight Paul for a while.

"I want to knock somebody out," Butterbean said. "Jake Paul runs his mouth too much, he's never fought nobody, I would love to fight him. I think people would like to see me and Tyson go at it too. We're friends, but I don't mind fighting friends."

Photo: Travis Kelce/Instagram   Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce stirred up a reaction online after celebrating his team’s recent win with a post the day after Donald Trump ’s election victory. On Wednesday, Kelce posted several photos on Instagram celebrating the Chiefs’ unbeaten record following their thrilling Monday night overtime win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His caption, "Arrowhead at night," referenced the Chiefs’ home stadium and captured the excitement of the game. However, the timing of the post didn’t sit well with some fans, who thought it was insensitive, given that it came a day after former President Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris . “Feel like maybe this could have been rescheduled,” one fan commented. Others chimed in with, “Read the room, Travis,” and “Not right now, we’re mourning.” Photo: Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce/Instagram   But Kelce’s fans weren’t all critical.

Trump Praises Caitlin Clark, Talks Pay In Women’s Sports

Image
Photo: Donald Trump, Caitlin Clark/Instagram   Former President Donald Trump recently praised WNBA star Caitlin Clark and discussed pay equity in women’s sports during an interview on the "Let’s Go!" podcast with sportscaster Jim Gray and legendary coach Bill Belichick . Trump called Clark "incredible," saying he was impressed by her shooting skills. "She’s unbelievable," he said. "I watch her shot go in, and it’s amazing." During their talk, the focus turned to pay in women’s sports, especially in the WNBA. Clark, who plays for the Indiana Fever, earns a base salary of $76,000 a year. While she also makes money from endorsements, her pay is far below that of top NBA players, who earn millions. Photo: Donald Trump/Instagram   Trump admitted that equal pay in sports is "a very complicated thing." He said that while the league could consider giving standout players like Clark a bonus, it’s hard to change the market. "You can’t go i

Photo: Jake Paul/Instagram   Jake Paul was crushed when he learned that his long-anticipated fight with boxing legend Mike Tyson would be delayed . The two had planned to face off in July, but Tyson, 57, had to postpone after experiencing a serious health scare . While flying from Miami to Los Angeles, Tyson suffered intense pain and was rushed to the hospital, where doctors discovered a large bleeding ulcer in his stomach. The two-and-a-half-inch ulcer forced the heavyweight icon to take a break from training, and the fight was pushed back to November 15 . The matchup is expected to draw up to 80,000 fans in Texas. Paul, a YouTuber turned boxer, was shocked and disappointed by the delay. In a recent Netflix documentary, he revealed his frustration, saying, "When I got the news he couldn’t fight, I felt numb.

Olympic Boxer Imane Khelif To Take Legal Action After New Claims On Eligibility

Image
Photo: Imane Khelif/Instagram Olympic boxing champion Imane Khelif is in the news again after fresh questions about her eligibility to compete in women’s boxing at the 2024 Paris Olympics. A French magazine, Le Correspondant, recently claimed to have seen a leaked medical report about the Algerian boxer, but the BBC could not confirm this report. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has defended Khelif’s right to compete in the women’s category, calling the magazine’s report “unverified.” A spokesperson for the IOC added that Khelif is now planning to take legal action over these latest claims, saying they feel saddened by the abuse Khelif has received. Photo: Imane Khelif/Instagram   Khelif, 25, won the women’s welterweight gold at the Paris Olympics. She had previously been disqualified from the 2023 World Championships due to gender eligibility concerns. Those tests were conducted by the International Boxing Association (IBA), which the IOC later removed as the sport’s govern

Kamala Harris Concedes Election To Trump, But Promises To Keep Fighting

Image
Photo: Kamala Harris/Instagram   Kamala Harris has officially conceded the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump . Despite her loss, Harris vows to continue fighting for the issues she believes in. Harris’s campaign had high hopes, especially among women who were expected to be her strongest supporters. But a moment on ABC’s "The View" seemed to capture the problem she faced throughout her campaign. When asked if she would have done anything differently from President Biden, Harris said, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.” This response made some voters wonder if she could bring real change. This hesitation to separate herself from Biden’s policies may have hurt her. Some of her supporters wanted her to distance herself from him on key issues like the economy and U.S. relations with Israel. Harris’s team tried to walk a line between loyalty to Biden and her own message, but this balance was hard to achieve. Photo: Kamala Harris/Instagram A last-minute push by her

Trump’s Win Could Mean Less US Support For Ukraine

Image
Photo: Donald Trump/Instagram   With Donald Trump back in office, Ukraine may soon face a major change: a drop in US support as it continues its fight against Russia. Throughout his campaign, Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, questioned how long the US should back Ukraine, suggesting that the country might need to find a peace deal with Russia instead of relying on ongoing US help. This news arrives at a tough time for Ukraine. Russian forces have been making progress in eastern Ukraine, especially in the Donbas region, which Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to fully control. Ukraine’s top general, Oleksandr Syrskyi, recently admitted that the battlefront is “difficult,” and Ukraine needs more resources to hold its ground. Photo: Donald Trump/Instagram   In addition, Russia is believed to be adding more troops, with reports that 10,000 North Korean soldiers are now in Russia, likely to join the fight against Ukraine soon. Under the Biden administration, the US sent tens of b
