Is Logan Paul Ready to Destroy Gervonta Davis?

By News Flash 247 February 14, 2025

Ah yes, Alex Pereira vs. Jon Jones; the bout that the fight community might have gotten if Tom Aspinall wasn’t on the horizon. We know the story very well, Jones refused to entertain Aspinall for the longest time, citing that the fight does nothing for his legacy. Instead, he wanted Alex Pereira in a super fight in what he labeled as his “red p—y night”. Despite Jones warming up to the idea of fighting Aspinall for “f— you money”, it’s no secret that he would rather chase Alex Pereira for a “fun fight”. But what did UFC CEO think about Jones plans for a super fight?

Well, Dana White poured cold water on the possibility late last year, citing the size difference between the two fighters. “No f—ing way,” White stated, dismissing the matchup and calling ‘Bones’ “too big” for Alex Pereira. Despite White’s skepticism, the fight continues to excite fans, including YouTuber-turned-WWE superstar Logan Paul.

Speaking on his IMPAULSIVE podcast, Paul first took aim at Gervonta Davis, issuing a bold warning: “I don’t give a f–k how good you are…I would f**ing kill Gervonta.” Following that fiery statement, Paul revealed his admiration for Alex Pereira when rapper and singer T.I. asked, “Who’s your favorite fighter? Like, who do you respect right now?” Without hesitation, Paul named ‘Poatan’ as his top choice.

As the conversation continued, he shared his excitement about a potential showdown between Alex Pereira and Jon Jones. Expressing his enthusiasm, Logan Paul stated, “I’ve been following UFC forever, and there comes a point in some fighters’ careers where they look genuinely unbeatable. He’s at that level. I think he could become the first three-division champion in history, which is f*cking crazy. There have been only a few two-division champions, but moving up three weight classes? Bro, that’s like a 40-pound difference. You’re that good. I think he could do it… That fight—Pereira vs. Jones at heavyweight—would be insane.”

Shields’ Heavyweight Ambition: Will She Beat Usyk and Face Fury Next?”

By News Flash 247 February 6, 2025

In a move that has stunned the boxing world, Claressa Shields, the undisputed queen of women’s boxing, has set her sights on an unprecedented challenge—taking on Oleksandr Usyk in a historic crossover fight. With her dominance in multiple weight classes, Shields has never shied away from making history, but this time, she’s taking it to an entirely new level. If she manages to pull off the impossible against Usyk, the next target in her sights is none other than the reigning heavyweight king, Tyson Fury.

Shields’ journey to this moment has been nothing short of legendary. As a two-time Olympic gold medalist and a multi-division world champion, she has cleared out every opponent in her path. But in her relentless quest for greatness, she refuses to let traditional weight divisions define her legacy.

“People told me I couldn’t do it when I moved up in weight before,” Shields declared at a packed press conference. “They doubted me when I took over MMA. Now they say I can’t step into the ring with Usyk? Watch me.”

Usyk, the current unified heavyweight champion, known for his masterful footwork and high boxing IQ, responded with bemusement at first but later acknowledged Shields’ incredible skill. “She is one of the greatest fighters of her generation, but heavyweight is a different world,” he said. “If she wants this challenge, she must be ready for real power.”

The fight, already being billed as one of the most ambitious matchups in history, has split the boxing world. Some hail Shields as a fearless pioneer pushing the limits of what’s possible, while others argue that the size and strength difference will be too much to overcome.

But Shields isn’t just looking to fight Usyk—her ambitions go beyond him. If she emerges victorious, she wants Tyson Fury next. The ‘Gypsy King’ laughed when asked about the challenge, calling it “a fun idea but absolutely ridiculous.” Yet, he didn’t entirely dismiss it. “If she somehow beats Usyk, then maybe, just maybe, we talk,” Fury said with a smirk.

Whether or not these fights actually happen, one thing is certain: Claressa Shields has once again forced the world to reconsider what’s possible in combat sports. Will she pull off the greatest shock in boxing history, or is she finally biting off more than she can chew? The world is watching, and Shields wouldn’t have it any other way.

Why they’re a serious threat to Jake Paul

By News Flash 247 February 6, 2025

After weeks of speculation, Jake Paul has finally announced his return to the squared circle. The Problem Child took to his ‘X’ and set July 5th as the date of his comeback. He last fought on November 15 against Mike Tyson in Texas and this time, he will wander off to New York for his next challenge.

The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight was historic and became the most-watched boxing match of all time with more than 108 million viewers tuning in live to watch the fight, even shattering Canelo Alvarez’s gate revenue record with an astounding $18.1 million. With the fight, The Problem Child became a dream opponent for fighters because of the payday he could offer them. No one in the business can match the amount of eyeballs he is attracting to the sports. Even mainstream boxers like Artur Beterbiev and Daniel Dubois emerged to take a shot at the self-proclaimed ‘El Gallo.’ However, till now, no opponent has been confirmed for the July 5 match.

That was until Mike Majlak declared Jake Paul’s next fight as “bigger than the Tyson fight” on the Impaulsive podcast with Logan Paul chiming in “yeah” in response to a question by the co-host about who the Problem Child was fighting next. Majlak even went as far as to term it the “craziest thing of all time,” sending fans’ imagination into overdrive.

“Shock Twist: Top Heavyweight Who Faced Joshua & Klitschko Has 10 Years of Results Reversed!”

By News Flash 247 February 4, 2025

A retired heavyweight who faced both Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko is facing the prospect of having a decade of results overturned after testing positive for a banned substance. Alexander Povetkin has reportedly had 10-years worth of accomplishments in the ring wiped from his record, which would include his victories against David Price, Carlos Takam, Mike Perez and Dillian Whyte.

The 45-year-old faced Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium in September 2018, pushing the Brit all the way until he suffered a 7th-round knockout defeat to lose out on the chance at becoming the unified WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion. He had also lost in a previous title tilt against Klitschko.

Povetkin secured a monumental upset victory over Whyte in August 2020, knocking ‘The Bodysnatcher’ out with a crushing left uppercut in the 5th-round.

They went on to face one another in a rematch seven months later, with Whyte gaining his revenge over the Russian with a 4th-round stoppage. The Russian has not fought since that defeat to Whyte, announcing his retirement from the sport in 2021 at the age of 41. Povetkin said a number of ‘re-occuring injuries’ led to him making this decision.

Canelo Alvarez to Face Jake Paul Before Clashing with Terence Crawford?

By News Flash 247 February 4, 2025

Everything indicates that Canelo Alvarez will face Terence Crawford in September, according to reports from specialized media, although no official source has expressed itself on the matter.

Before that, the Guadalajara fighter would fight in May, but for that date, none of the opponents among the options that have transpired have yet to gain strength.

Canelo Alvarez could face Jake Paul

The names that have been mentioned for Saul Alvarez‘s first fight of the year are William Scull, who even went so far as to say that negotiations would begin on January 10, and Christian Mbili, although the Frenchman with less force.

But as early as Saturday, during the broadcast of the fight between David Benavidez and David Morrell on ESPN for Mexico and Central America, the possibility was mentioned that he could surprise with Jake Paul and now it seems to be a more firm possibility, according to Julius Julianis.

Without confirmation of the hypothetical Canelo Alvarez vs Jake Paul fight, just on Saturday Salvador Rodriguez of ESPN commented that the Mexican could take home about $100 million.

After that fight, there was speculation about the possibility of reconsidering David Benavidez (30-0), as the Mexican’s trainer Eddy Reynoso was present, but now the information is going in the opposite direction with the opportunity to face Paul, who defeated Mike Tyson in November.

Who Else Can’t Wait To See This Fight: Boxing Fans Shocked by Jake Paul’s ‘Confirmed’ to fight Canelo Alvarez

By News Flash 247 February 4, 2025

According to reports in Mexico, Paul has an agreement in place to face Canelo Alvarez this year.

Per the report, the event will be co-promoted by Canelo Promotions and Most Valuable Promotions.

The report comes after Paul posted a cryptic post on social media, where he tweeted: “It’s time. Sat July 5th. New York, New York.”

He could be suggesting a July date in New York is in the works, though the initial report seems to state a May date is being targeted.

Needless to say, the idea of Paul facing boxing superstar Canelo sent social media wild.

One X user predicted: “Jake will get knocked out in the 1st round if it’s a real fight.”

A second said: “I would watch, to see Canelo knock Jake out. Jake only has a punchers chance, a very slim punchers chance.”

A third added: “It’s still a pay day. But no damn way Jake Paul believes he can win against Canelo.”

A fourth claimed: “If this is true Paul has some f**king b*llocks doesn’t he.”

Another claimed: “I can see myself betting all my money on Canelo and somehow Jake Paul wins and my life is ruined.”

Paul has relentlessly called for a fight against Canelo over the years and it appears his wish will be granted.

‘The Problem Child’, however, insists the Mexican needs him if he wants a payday.

“Canelo needs me, so I’m not even going to try and call him out,” he said in the ring after beating Tyson.

“He knows he wants a payday. So, he knows where the money man is at…

“He’s going to want a payday and I want to show the world all the [stuff] I’ve been talking about beating Canelo is true and I’ll have the biggest upset in the history of boxing.
