Logan Paul Challenged by Bradley Martyn to ‘No Cameras Fight,’ “Come To My Gym”
Two of YouTube’s top personalities are ready to square up in a fight, whether it be boxing or behind closed doors. After Logan Paul offered to ‘humble’ Bradley Martyn in a Puerto Rico sparring match, Martyn fired back with his own idea. He challenged Logan to fight at his home gym Zoo Culture with no cameras.
Martyn sports a hulking physique and likes to test his strength, though sometimes to his misfortune. He’s a fixture in the fitness community and is known for hosting major productions on YouTube like The Full Send Podcast and Bradley Martyn’s Raw Talk. Given his knack for communication and drawing the best out of his guests, Martyn has become a fan-favorite in the industry.
Logan Paul has also built a wildly successful social media following, which includes millions on Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. In addition, he’s made multiple appearances in the WWE. During a recent Impaulsive Podcast, Paul took shots at Martyn after Bradley said he could beat Nate Diaz or boxer Devin Haney in a street fight.
Logan Paul Wants to ‘Humble’ Bradley Martyn in Sparring Match, Says He’s ‘Desperate For Clicks’
In response to Martyn saying he could take the famous Stockton native in a fight, Diaz had a simple answer:
“Bro, you’re a podcaster,” Diaz laughed.
While speaking together, Bradley commented that he hoped to see Jake ‘get his ass beat’ by Nate. After hearing Bradley’s remarks, Logan Paul called out Martyn for a sparring match in Puerto Rico.
“Even the way you are talking about street fighting Nate, you’re not going to beat Nate Diaz in a street fight. You’re a well-versed guy, you’re not a guy who has to create beefs to be cool or relevant, especially when it comes to Jake. You’re cool with us, [Jake] is in the family and you’ve even said yourself that you like him. Why say that? Are you searching for clicks?”
“Bradley, you gotta be humbled. That’s what you need. It doesn’t sound like you’ve had it yet and I will invite you to Puerto Rico to spar with me to be humbled…Bradley, if you’re serious, I’m inviting you to Puerto Rico to promote my next upcoming fight and I will spar you and I will fu**ing humble your ass,” Logan Paul said on episode 25 of Impaulsive.
Martyn responded to Logan with revised terms for their potential fight.
“Logan Paul talking about clicks n views and I’m lame. This coming from the guy who filmed a dead body for views & all of a sudden I’m reaching for views? The same reason u even call me out is for the same purpose…VIEWS. In your own words…“To promote my fight coming up”. But when I did it in my content I’m lame?
Also to defend ur brother, your the guy who at every turn with KSl you don’t have his back and you own brother even feels as though u don’t.. & that’s from his own words, me wanting to see someone get memed and liking someone can both co-exist. AND speaking about clicks and views, fk all that, come to my gym no cameras no content..we can just fight in front of zoo culture.” Bradley Martyn shared.

Should they actually meet in the ring, Martyn would enjoy a significant size advantage over Paul given his weight of around 260 pounds. Meanwhile, Paul’s walk-around weight hovers in the 205-pound area. It should be noted, ‘The Maverick’ has legitimate combat sports experience. In 2021, Paul shared the boxing ring with legend Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather in an exhibition match.
Unusual fight arrangements seem to be the norm in 2023. Over the last few months, the new Twitter owner Elon Musk, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg have laid out terms to fight each other. With both parties seemingly interested, fans might be in for a big treat. According to UFC President Dana White, Musk and Zuckerberg are ‘dead serious’ about fighting.
Musk has transformed his body and lost 20 pounds with the help of periodic fasting. Zuckerberg also has kept tabs on his fitness with participation in Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournaments and combat sports lessons with UFC champions such as Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski.

With Bradley Martyn and Logan Paul’s feud heating up, fans are jumping to pick sides. Time will tell if they meet in the ring and if Martyn can deliver in a fight without traditional combat sports experience.

Jake Paul Challenges Floyd Mayweather To Put 50-0 Record On The Line In Real Fight, Refuses To ‘Rob Fans’ With Exhibition
YouTuber-turned-pugilist Jake Paul has called for boxing legend Floyd Mayweather to put his undefeated record on the line in a professional bout.
While he made his name as an internet personality and Disney star, Paul has since spread his wings into the combat sports world through seven professional appearances. Last time out, “The Problem Child” fell to defeat for the first time in his career, with British pro Tommy Fury earning the nod on two of the three judges’ scorecards in Saudi Arabia.
Although an immediate rematch appears to be on the table owing to clause in Paul’s contract, a fresh option presented itself this week courtesy of a public altercation.
On Wednesday, Paul almost came to blows with Mayweather and his large entourage outside the Miami-Dade Arena. In footage released by TMZ Sports, the 26-year-old Cleveland native can be seen running from the group after threats of violence.
Floyd if you want to fight 1 on 1 we can do that but don’t try to hop out of 3 cars 25 dudes deep tryna to jump me while I’m tryna enjoy my Wednesday night— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) March 9, 2023
Since then, Paul has made a number of comments online. In one video, he accused Mayweather and his team of waiting for him outside the stadium, and also defended his decision to quickly depart the situation.
Now, the polarizing online star has laid down a challenge.
Paul Calls Out Mayweather Following Public Confrontation
While Paul was building his prominence in combat sports through professional bouts against mixed martial arts veterans, Mayweather was maintaining his own presence in the sport.
The 15-time world champion has featured in numerous exhibition bouts, including against a British YouTuber and former opponent of Paul’s in Deji Olatunji last November. Just last month, “Money” made his UK debut against former MMA fighter and reality TV star Aaron Chalmers.
In a recent tweet following their public clash, Paul revealed he’s been offered exhibition matches opposite Mayweather in the past. But believing that would be “robbing” the fans, the 26-year-old called for the legendary pugilist to put his undefeated record on the line in a “real fight.”
“Floyd will not see me 1 on 1 in a real fight. That’s a fact,” Paul wrote. “His team has hit my team numerous times to do one of his ‘exhibitions’. Now he ambushes me. Come see me in the ring, real fight, no exhibition robbing fans bullsh*t.”
Floyd will not see me 1 on 1 in a real fight. That’s a fact. His team has hit my team numerous times to do one of his “exhibitions”. Now he ambushes me ?. Come see me in the ring, real fight, no exhibition robbing fans bullshit.— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) March 9, 2023
Paul’s comments about exhibition bouts come in spite of his brother Logan competing in one such contest against Mayweather back in 2021. Incidentally, that’s also where Jake’s feud with “Money” appears to have started.
While in attendance at a pre-fight press conference, Paul sparked chaos by removing Mayweather’s hat. With that, as well as the latest clash, the groundwork has certainly been laid for a future collision inside the squared circle.

“It is an honor to be in there with the legendary Anderson Silva. Although, I’m going to knock him out in under five rounds. Y’all are the first to know. I’m so excited,” Paul said in the official announcement on Most Valuable Promotions’ Twitter.
Jake Paul will now face the biggest challenge of his career. After having fights cancelled in August with both Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr., Paul will now have the chance to fight one of the best UFC fighters of all-time.
Paul is 5-0 in his professional boxing career. He has taken steps forward in competition since starting his journey in the ring. Paul has victories over MMA fighters such as Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley, who he defeated twice. Silva has made the transition in fighting styles and has gained experience in the boxing ring over the last two years.

— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) September 6, 2022
Anderson Silva competed in the boxing ring twice in 2021. First, he took a split decision from Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in an eight-round fight. Silva knocked out former UFC champion Tito Ortiz in under two minutes in his next fight. Silva also has an exhibition fight against Bruno Machado under his belt.
Jake Paul continues to make waves in the boxing world and it would take another step forward if he is able to defeat Anderson Silva in the ring. This is the biggest bout of his career thus far and will have a chance to make an impact.

Tommy Fury Cancels Fight, Jake Paul Responds With Offer To Move Match To UK: ‘You Are A Scared Little Boy’
Jake Paul and Tommy Fury will not fight in August. Will the fight ever take place?
A boxing match between Tommy Fury and Jake Paul has been in the works since December. The first meeting was called off because Fury sustained an injury. Now, Fury has been forced to cancel once again due to travel issues.
Fury, who is the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, posted a statement on Twitter claiming that he will be unable to make it into the U.S. prior to the fight. Paul did not waste time commenting on the post offering a fight in the U.K. but the payday will be far less than the original amount.
pic.twitter.com/OTOmulKfrW
— Tommy Fury (@tommytntfury) July 7, 2022
“I’m gutted and disappointed in regards to the issues I have faced with entry into the USA. This is something that myself or my team could have never anticipated happening. This situation has been left with my lawyers as being denied entry to a country is obviously a very serious issue and it needs to subsequently be resolved.
I am confident this fight will happen when this issue gets resolved and we come to a solution. I want to clarify that I will fight in a neutral country that both parties can enter. This can be any time, any place, any where.”
Jake Paul will now take on Hasim Rahman Jr. on August 6 as the son of former heavyweight boxing champion steps in for Fury.
Jake Paul Responds, Offers $500k For Fight
Jake Paul has not been shy about offering up massive paydays for fighters interested in stepping in the ring. The former YouTuber has successfully made the transition into the ring but has received criticism for not taking on a real fighter. Paul has victories over YouTuber AnEsonGib, former NBA player Nate Robinson, Ben Askren, and Tyron Woodley.
At this point, Paul has attempted to fight Fury on two separate occasions and is unhappy that it has not happened yet. Paul immediately responded to Fury on Twitter.
“I’m confident you are a scared little boy who doesn’t want to fight or understand business. I will pay you $500k to fight me in the UK. I will do it shortly after August 6. You accept?”
The original agreement for this fight was upwards of $2 million for the fight at Madison Square Garden. After being offered a price that is significantly less, Fury responded to Paul and did not accept.
“I wouldn’t get out of bed to fight you for $500k. Let me know when you’re ready to have a serious conversation.”
It is unknown when or if Jake Paul and Tommy Fury will ever step in the ring together but maybe the third time is the charm. Paul will still be in action on August 6 at the Garden.

Mike Tyson Confirms That He Would Fight Jake Paul on Jimmy Kimmel Live
Could we see Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul this year?
Mike Tyson recently confirmed that he would be interested in boxing Jake Paul some time this year. The former reigning heavyweight boxing champion and legend mentioned as much in his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Mike Tyson is one of the most recognized human beings in the world. First it was for his ability to knockout other human beings with what seemed like general ease. Now it’s for his redemption story, his successful podcast, and businesses, acting, and just complete transformation.
With all that said Mike Tyson is still known as the form heavyweight champion. He even had an exhibition bout with fellow boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. showing that both men still have plenty left in the tank. Since then, Tyson has remained in pretty good shape and his return to the ring has sparked the imaginations of many. That includes late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. Tyson was a guest on his show where Kimmel asked the former heavyweight champ some interesting questions. One such question was about the polarizing Jake Paul.
When asked by Jimmy Kimmel about a potential match up with Jake Paul, Mike Tyson had this to say about the idea.
“That’ll be very interesting. I never took it really serious, but yeah that could be really interesting.”
When asked about Jake Paul and his skillset and ability to be a challenge to the former heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson gave him his due.
“He’s skilled enough, yeah. I’m gonna give it to him, he’s skilled enough because he’s winning. Even if he’s fighting guys who you guys don’t believe are good enough fighters, they should be able to beat him. Right. But they can’t.
“So, he’s beating people he shouldn’t really be beating.
“He’s doing good, for a guy who’s just doing it, this is good.”
Many people would counter with the idea that Jake Paul is bad for boxing, that he tarnishes the sport. Mike Tyson on the other hand has a very different opinion on what the young upstart has accomplished for boxing.
Mike Tyson discusses possible Jake Paul fight with Jimmy Kimmel
“He’s doing so much good for boxing. Listen, this guy got 70 million people following him every time he fights, and the champions of the world don’t have that many people follow them. So, what he’s doing for boxing is just sensational. No one should be hating on that, let’s just fight ‘em. He’s helping everybody get money. Why are people mad at him?”
When asked by Jimmy Kimmel if he would fight Jake Paul, Mike Tyson was pretty adamant about doing it sooner rather than later.
“Anything is possible, yes. But [a fight with Jake Paul] has got to happen this year. It has to happen this year.”
Jake Paul himself responded to Mike Tyson on Twitter where he showed respect and reverence to the legend as well as accepting the fight. See his response as well as what Tyson said in the Tweet below.
Thank you to the great Mike Tyson for the respect and opportunity. This year we are making it happen. pic.twitter.com/dlGQUf2EP0

Liver King Eats Organs With Logan and Jake Paul, Discuss Steroid Accusations
Liver King addresses steroid accusations while eating raw organs with Logan and Jake Paul.
Brian Johnson, more popularly known as Liver King, is setting the record straight about the steroid accusations brought against him. And what better way to address the issue than discussing it with Logan and Jake Paul while consuming raw organs.
Liver King is operating on a completely different wavelength than most humans. The lifestyle he’s chose to embrace is certainly unusual and harkens back to ancient times despite living in a modern world. Living in this way has helped him gain a tremendous physique and a massive following. But did he attain his physique naturally?
Natty or Not?
There’s no doubting that Liver King is in some incredible shape. A man who has chose to live life like that of ancient human beings, he consumes a diet of raw meat and organs. He believes this is the closest way to living as humans were intended. He also pushes himself physically by performing some intense training.
His primal ways and incredible physique have led many to believe that Liver King is less than natural. Joe Rogan had a fair amount to say about the subject himself.
Eating Raw Organs and Discussing Steroid Claim
To set the record straight Liver King has chosen to address the steroid claims in the last place many would have suspected.
Logan and Jake Paul have an added quite the following on their YouTube channel. With a plethora of different guests and a history of pushing the envelope on the Impaulsive podcast, adding Liver King to list seems on brand for the Paul brothers.
Liver King sat down with Logan and Jake Paul, eating raw organs and discussing the steroid accusations brought against him. He explained why and how he was able to build such a tremendous physique over the years.
“There’s a lot of sub-primals that are convinced that Liver King is taking steroids right. This is one of my favorite fuc**n topics. First thing, I’ll say this. You think if I was on steroids I would have these fuc**n appendages I have down here? These legs. Do you see how fuc**n little my fuc**n legs are? Here’s the thing, when I was in college, I weighed 175-lbs and I was single digit body fat. I started working out at 8 or 9 years old. I already had been working out for 10 or 12 years and now I’m 45 and I’ve gained less than one pound a year for over 25 years!”
Essentially it seems that Liver King is claiming that his physique was cultivated over many long years of arduous training. But he had even more to say to those who think his physique was built on the back of steroids.
“So this is what I say to people that make this accusation: if you don’t believe this is possible, then I suggest that you take that self-limiting belief, you put that shit in a fuc**n box and you bury that next to all your embarrassing shit and don’t open your fuc**n mouth about it. Let that live with you, don’t let that live with someone else. Because the highest and most dominant form that we have to express is in front of us. You hear people talk about peaking in their early 20s, I’m 45! If you look at Liver King at 45 and Brian Johnson at 20, Liver King is going to fuc**n murder that guy.”
See the full podcast episode here. So do you think Liver King is telling the truth about his natural status?

Jake Paul Offers to Setup $60 Million Boxing Match Between Kanye West And Pete Davidson
Jake Paul has offered both parties $30 million to take on this challenge.
Jake Paul has become a huge name in boxing because of his antics in and out of the ring to go along with his persona. Now, he is willing to setup a fight that does not involve himself. Paul recently issued an offer to both Kanye West and Pete Davidson of $30 million each to compete in a boxing match.
Paul took to Twitter and his Instagram story to explain the terms of the fight. The money will be taken care of before the six-round boxing match. It is clear that Paul is willing to pay up to make this happen and that is no surprise given his history.
“So I have an official offer for Kanye West and Pete Davidson. Most Valuable Promotions certified. I got $30 million for each of you, guaranteed, plus pay-per-view upside for a six-round boxing match. Let’s make it happen. Let’s settle this thing like men before the children start getting impacted by y’all’s antics. Let’s make it happen.”
This is not the first time that Jake Paul has offered to throw around big money to setup a fight. Usually it involves the former YouTuber taking on a big name, such as the offers made to Conor McGregor. This time, Paul is using his platform to make an offer to two stars that have been feuding in public recently.
It is almost certain that neither Kanye West or Pete Davidson will accept this offer but it would certainly be lucrative if it happened. Davidson has been dating West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian and this has sparked some problems between the two. So much so that Davidson was portrayed in one of West’s music videos as someone being kidnapped.
The drama has taken bigger steps after there ere text messages leaked between the two. Davidson shared a picture of himself being in bed with Kardashian and West did not take it well. He wanted Davidson to meet at a Sunday Service while the Saturday Night Live star wanted to make it private.
So what exactly is this all worth? As of now, $60 million coming from Jake Paul. This would be part of a hypothetical wild night of boxing. Paul is also willing to make the fight between Elon Musk and Vladimir Putin happen. Musk called out Putin to a fight and Paul quickly jumped on. He offered to have this be the main event with West and Davidson appearing on the undercard. And of course, Paul included himself taking on McGregor in MMA.
This would immediately become the craziest night of fighting ever. Although it will ever happen, The thought is extremely interesting. One thing we know is that Jake Paul is not afraid to setup something like this and has put the idea out there.

Mike Tyson Shuts Down Jake Paul Rumors: ‘I Don’t Think I’ll Do Stuff Like That Anymore’
Mike Tyson recently spoke on the recent rumors about returning to fight Jake Paul.
Jake Paul might be one of boxing’s biggest sensations right now but Mike Tyson is still one of the best to ever step in the ring. There have been recent reports about the two getting together for a fight but Tyson recently shut down those rumors.
After seeing a report that there were official terms on a fight, Tyson quickly took to Twitter to respond. Following his tweet, Tyson appeared on the Full Send Podcast where he was asked about these rumors.
This is new to me. I saw Jake in St. Barths and he never mentioned it. https://t.co/eL01HDMdmr
— Mike Tyson (@MikeTyson) January 17, 2022
Mike Tyson sat alongside Dana White when he was asked about an alleged fight with Jake Paul. This was not the first time Tyson was linked to a Paul brother. There were also talks of Tyson stepping in the ring against Logan Paul but nothing has come to fruition. According to Tyson, this might never happen again.
“Guys want to fight me for $100 million bucks. I don’t think I’ll ever do stuff like that anymore. I wanted to do it the first time, just for fun, to have fun. Some people took it to another level and made it financial and the fun went out of it,” Mike Tyson explained.
Mike Tyson is referring to his return fight against Roy Jones Jr. that took place on Nov. 28, 2020. The fight ended in a controversial draw. This was Tyson’s first fight in 15 years and might be his last one ever. Jake Paul also appeared on the card as he faced former NBA player Nate Robinson.
Tyson spoke on his feelings about how fighting has turned financial. This takes away a lot for an old-school fighter and could be one of the reasons he is staying away.
“If it was back when it first started and we were both fighting on the same card and both active, yeah I would do it but it just turned bad. It didn’t turn out right.”
Dana White chimed in and gave his opinion on Tyson’s future. The two have a mutual respect and it made for an entertaining interview.
“I don’t want to see you fight anymore, man. I know you get mad at me when I say that but I do. I don’t want to see you fight anymore,” Dana White said.
“I don’t think I will either but you never know,” Tyson replied.
It is clear that the original reports were not true. There are no terms on a fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. While Tyson did not completely shut down the idea of a return, saying “you never know,” it seems like his mind is made up and it could take a lot for him to return to the ring.

Jake Paul Named 2021 Breakout Boxer Of The Year By Sports Illustrated
Jake Paul has taken over the world of boxing over the last year.
Jake Paul has been one of the biggest attractions in boxing since making the transition. Is he a “real boxer”? Can Paul compete with actual fighters? Will he ever win a championship? At this point, it does not matter. Jake Paul has become a big figure in the sport and has been named Sports’ Illustrated’s Breakout Boxer of the Year.
Paul burst onto the scene as a YouTube sensation and has built an incredible following on social media. He has continued these antics since making his transition to boxing and it has only helped his intrigue. In 2021, Paul picked up three victories, two via knockout, in three bouts.
“To think about how all the things that happened in the fashion that it all happened. It’s just sort of mind-blowing,” Jake Paul told SI.
The year began for Paul in April when he took on Ben Askren, a former UFC fighter who was critical of Paul’s ability as a boxer. This was a knockout victory for Paul. He then defeated Tyron Woodley twice before the year ended. In August, it was a victory by split decision for Paul before the two met again in December.
Tommy Fury was scheduled to be Paul’s next opponent before he was forced to back out due to an injury. Paul was looking for an opponent and Woodley decided to step in and Woodley did not hesitate. Despite having little time to prepare, Woodley would accept the rematch and was quickly knocked out.
Since December, there has been plenty of speculation on who will be Jake Paul’s next opponent. Anderson Silva opened as the favorite and this would take the competition level up a notch for Paul. This has been a point of emphasis from critics since he began boxing. At this point, it is unknown when Paul will step in the ring again or who it will be against.
At this point, there are not many boxers who have taken over the sport like Paul. The list of opponents is not impressive but that is the norm for athletes beginning their careers. Paul comes with a high price tag and this makes him a marketable figure. Not to mention his overall presence on social media. His promotional company, Most Valuable Promotions, will run his fights and he has even signed other fighters. This includes Amanda Serrano.
Recently, Jake Paul has been feuding with Dana White, who called out Paul to take on one of his fighters if drug tested. Paul responded by saying he would quit boxing if White followed some stipulations including higher pay for fighters and long-term healthcare. Nothing has come from this just yet.
What we do know is that Jake Paul has taken over the world of boxing and there is no end in sight. Whether you like him or not, it cannot be denied that Paul has value and a huge audience. This is something Paul, along with his brother Logan Paul, understand and know how to work. For his overall presence in the sport, Paul has earned an honor from Sports Illustrated.

Anderson Silva opens as favorite to be next opponent for Jake Paul
Anderson Silva could be in line to take on Jake Paul next.
It has been less than a week since Jake Paul moved to 5-0 with a sixth-round knockout of Tyron Woodley. Now, there have been lines made on who will have the chance to take on the former YouTuber in the ring next. As of now, Anderson Silva is the early favorite.
Silva began boxing at the beginning of 2021 after a long stint in UFC. In his first match, Silva took on former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. In his first boxing match since 2005, Silva upset the former champion by split decision. He then faced UFC champ Tito Ortiz and won via a first-round knockout.
The talks began by saying Silva could take on Jake’s brother, Logan Paul, but there was no real steam and now sights could be set on the younger of the two.
Below, you can see a list of names, along with their odds, that could take on Jake Paul next.
Anderson Silva – 3/1
Tommy Fury – 7/2
Dillon Danis – 7/1
Nate Diaz – 7/1
Conor McGregor – 15/2
Jorge Masvidal – 15/2
Floyd Mayweather – 12/1
Oscar De La Hoya – 12/1
Mike Tyson – 25/1
Canelo Alvarez – 33/1
Logan Paul – 100/1
Tommy Fury was set to take on Paul on Saturday before backing out with an injury. John Fury recently threatened Paul to take on his son in March. A bout with Conor McGregor seems unlikely because the UFC star has nothing to prove. Also, Floyd Mayweather took part in a poorly displayed exhibition fight against Logan Paul and he should not revisit this idea.
Jake Paul recently took to social media to address Canelo Alvarez. He wrote “I hope you’re training, Canelo” on Twitter but Paul must be careful what he wishes for.
Jake Paul recently defeated Woodley in their second fight. The first came by split decision. This moved his record to 5-0 but the competition has been less than impressive. It began with a win over former NBA player Nate Robinson followed by fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib. Paul then defeated MMA fighter Ben Askren before two victories over Woodley.
Many might not like the act being put on by the Paul brothers but it works and it makes money. At this point, Paul needs to step into the ring with real boxers to gain some credibility. Silva began boxing for the first time since 2005 but there is no doubt that he has the skill to be successful.
Anderson Silva would be a difficult fight for Paul so it will be interesting to see if he would plan for this one. Either way, it is likely that we hear news about Jake Paul’s next opponent early in 2022.
