Why Terence Crawford Risks Jake Paul Lawsuit as He Calls Mike T

Terence Crawford Risks Jake Paul Lawsuit as He Calls Mike Tyson Fight Scripted on Joe Rogan Experience

Terence Crawford is retired. He’s already enjoying life as a boxing elder, making appearances at events and mentoring proteges like Shakur Stevenson.

So why step back into the spotlight now with comments that could invite legal action? In the latest episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, Crawford raised fresh questions about Jake Paul’s fight against Mike Tyson, suggesting it may have been a “scripted” affair. That’s not a small accusation. Paul and the team at Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) have already issued a warning – anyone making false allegations about his fights could be taken to court. Yet, that didn’t seem to have stopped the former undisputed super middleweight champion from saying what he thought of the bout.

“I don’t know. I think it was scripted,” Crawford told Joe Rogan. “I’ve never seen Tyson biting his gloves like that. It was taking all he could to, like not hit him. It’s heartbreaking seeing an icon go out like that.

“He shouldn’t have been in there at all. I think there’s other ways. I think, with all his connections and things like that, I think people could have put him in the right position to make some money.”

Terence Crawford made the remark after Joe Rogan brought up the now-confirmed rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. The bout, reportedly scheduled for September on Netflix, will follow exhibition appearances from both men in the months prior. Mayweather against Mike Tyson and Pacquiao against former champion turned politician Ruslan Provodnikov. That context reopened the discussion about Tyson’s recent outing.

Rogan noted that Tyson would be much bigger than Mayweather. Crawford responded that even so, Tyson would still struggle to land a punch on the 50-0 icon. He added that Tyson likely wouldn’t be able to land cleanly on Mayweather, especially considering how his last fight against Jake Paul unfolded.

And that fight remains the source of the controversy. To Rogan and perhaps many others, Tyson-Paul resembled a sparring session. The former heavyweight champion was seen biting his gloves during the eight-round special rules bout that headlined the Netflix boxing event at AT&T Stadium on November 15, 2024, in front of millions worldwide.

Even before the opening bell, the matchup was under scrutiny. Originally scheduled for July, it was postponed after Tyson experienced a mid-flight health scare in late May. He stepped into the ring at age 58, 19 years after his last professional appearance. Facing an opponent 30 years younger had already sparked widespread concerns about his safety and health.

Then things got more complicated. Jake Paul later said he took it easy on Tyson. The remark intensified criticism and fueled speculation about the legitimacy of the contest.

That growing scrutiny prompted Paul and his team to release a formal statement. While criticism is part of the sport, they said, baseless allegations would be met with stern legal action.

Jake Paul goes to war over rigging allegations

“Following the wide circulation of incorrect and baseless claims that undermine the integrity of the Paul vs. Tyson event, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) would like to set the record straight regarding the contractual agreements and the nature of the fight,” the official statement read. “Trash talk and speculation are common in sports, and athletes and promoters need to tolerate nonsensical commentary, jokes, and opinions. But suggesting anything other than full effort from these fighters is not only naïve but also an insult to the work they put into their craft and to the sport itself.”

That warning wasn’t issued lightly.

With the controversy still lingering and Mike Tyson preparing for an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather, Crawford may have felt comfortable sharing his unfiltered opinion. Still, Paul’s camp has shown it is willing to escalate matters. Reports indicate that legal pressure previously prompted a few high-profile figures to walk back earlier claims questioning his fights.

It’s unlikely Paul would pursue legal action against a stalwart like Terence Crawford. But the threat is real.

After his latest fight against Anthony Joshua, the YouTuber-turned-boxer appears to have shifted his image. The phase of facing retired or semi-retired MMA fighters and boxers seems to be behind him. Even so, reports suggest he may have filed a lawsuit against former champion Deontay Wilder, who publicly questioned whether the AJ fight had been “scripted.”

How Mayweather’s 2026 Return Revives Long-Running Money De

By
Manny Pacquiao Floyd Mayweather

Official fight at 49 reopens debate about money and motive

Floyd Mayweather will face Manny Pacquiao again in 2026, this time in a sanctioned rematch. At 49, he is putting his 50-0 record back into competitive play.

When Mayweather defeated Pacquiao in 2015 and later boxed Conor McGregor in 2017, the purses were so large that retirement felt permanent. He had reached 50-0 and headlined the two richest events the sport had ever produced. Few fighters have exited on stronger financial ground. Yet he remained highly visible. The private jets, high-stakes gambling sessions, luxury purchases, and social media cash displays were not occasional glimpses; they were a constant backdrop to his post-career life.

In the years after McGregor, Mayweather stayed active through exhibitions staged around the world. Those events offered spectacle and revenue while limiting competitive exposure. The undefeated record remained untouched, and the stakes were carefully managed.

This return carries different implications. At 49, he is preparing for a rematch with Pacquiao, now 47, rather than another exhibition. An official bout introduces formal scoring, regulatory oversight, and the possibility that the 50-0 mark could change. That choice naturally invites questions about motive.

Joe Rogan, the longtime UFC colour commentator and the host of one of the biggest combat-sports podcasts, touched on that tension during a recent episode. “Now they’re gonna do it again, and they’re both 50, it’s crazy,” Rogan said. “Yeah, I’m gonna watch it, f*** yeah I’m gonna watch him fighting Mike (Tyson), I think that’s crazy.” Rogan also questioned Mayweather’s spending habits, noting, “Floyd spends money like it’s a tap … and even as much money as he’s made in his career … it’s like, now he’s got to come out of retirement.”

The involvement of Netflix further alters the financial equation. A global streaming partner shifts the revenue model away from traditional pay-per-view and toward large-scale platform guarantees. That changes the calculus for a fighter whose career has consistently revolved around maximizing business leverage.

At this stage, the undefeated record is more than a statistic. It functions as commercial infrastructure. Exhibitions, speaking appearances, and promotional ventures continue to draw strength from the 50-0 mark. An official loss would not merely add a number to the right side of his record; it would alter the foundation of a brand built on permanence.

There is no verified evidence that Mayweather is in financial trouble. Still, nine years removed from his last major professional purse, he is again placing that pristine record into competitive jeopardy. The “Money” persona was built on the suggestion that he would never need to return. This comeback does not confirm the old fan theory. It does ensure that it will follow him into the ring.

“No Fighter in History”- Terence Crawford Reveals Exactly Why Gervonta Davis Should Fight Shakur Stevenson

It’s a close-knit band. A band of brothers: Terence Crawford, Andre Ward, and Shakur Stevenson.

In many ways, they represent the past, present, and future of boxing. Ward was Stevenson’s manager when he made his professional debut in 2017 and then, guiding Stevenson through the ups and downs of his career, Crawford was like his big brother. No wonder the older boxer is looking out for Stevenson.

Here’s the thing: Shakur Stevenson has long been under fire for his fighting style. Even the ninth-round drubbing of Josh Padley fell short of convincing the skeptics. Standing at the forefront, Gervonta Davis joins those who believe Stevenson’s resume needs a significant boost, but despite the latter’s callout, the Baltimorean has remained noncommittal. However, Crawford may have just made Stevenson’s case stronger.

During an interview with The Ring, Terence Crawford shared his views about the stacked lightweight division. With Shakur Stevenson wearing the WBC belt and the likes of Gervonta Davis, Vasyl Lomachenko, and Keyshawn Davis joining the championship roster, the division is a hotbed of immense talent. However, if asked to choose the best, Stevenson is Crawford’s obvious pick.

“I talked to him [Stevenson] and told him just be yourself you know, just keep winning. It doesn’t matter what the naysayers say and what the people that’s having certain agendas against him have to say.”

“He’s a great fighter. These fighters can’t beat him. So they want to make him a normal fighter and fight the fight that they want him to fight because he is unnatural. He has his own style. There’s no fighter in history that I can remember to have a style like Shakur Stevenson,” he insisted.

In the current generation, perhaps no other boxer/fighter knows and understands the sweet science better than Terence Crawford. It’s something Oleksandr Usyk frequently acknowledges. According to the heavyweight champion, Crawford is the best boxer of the era. That’s why his discerning eyes can easily identify special talents like Stevenson.

Gervonta Davis: Is Shakur Stevenson on your radar?

It’s not the first time Crawford heaped praises on Shakur Stevenson. A month ago, he joined Stevenson to watch close associate Keyshawn Davis’ title fight with Denys Berinchyk. During the post-fight interaction with the media, he stated that in the current lineup, he foresaw only Keyshawn Davis and Shakur Stevenson capable of defeating Gervonta Davis.

When asked about a potential title unification at 135 pounds, he said that Gervonta Davis knows “what he is up against when he fights Shakur or Keyshawn.” Throwing a sweeping shot at the Baltimorean who has been frequently criticized for fighting sub-par opponents, Crawford said that those kinds of fighters do not have the mental makeup to last tough exchanges.

Hence, “Them two guys (Shakur and Keyshawn) right there, you know what I mean, is going to be the ones that, you know, give him (Tank) his first ‘L,’” claimed Crawford in February. On the same note, both the boxers are confident they could defeat ‘Tank’.

In fact, Stevenson has been trying to fight Gervonta for years now, but things simply haven’t worked out. “The ball is in his court. I can’t say ‘I’m going to send him an offer’. Turki [Alalshikh] can,” the boxer said in January.

Shakur Stevenson certainly doesn’t need anyone’s validation. Despite his resume lacking big names, Stevenson has consistently showcased his brilliant skills. With extraordinary defensive techniques and a ring IQ capable of troubling even the best sluggers, he poses a serious threat to the current roster. After the Lamont Roach debacle, if Gervonta Davis truly wants to elevate his career before his suggested retirement, fighting Shakur Stevenson could cement his legacy in boxing history.

“He wanted that”: Manny Pacquiao refused one condition for Floyd Mayweather rematch

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather are set for a professionally sanctioned rematch in September, eleven years on from their first meeting.

In 2015, Mayweather took a unanimous decision on the cards in what is still the highest grossing boxing bout of all time. The fight had marinated for around six years and was underwhelming to many fans. A rematch when both are close to 50 years old won’t right that wrong, but there’s little doubt that it will generate significant interest.

Whilst Pacquiao made a professional return last year – fighting to a draw with then WBC welterweight world champion Mario Barrios – Mayweather has only stepped through the ropes for exhibitions since 2017.

‘PacMan’ told Sports Center that when his rival decided to return to the pro ranks, the return fight was immediately on the table.

“It just happens that I’m still active in boxing and he came out from retirement. So, he decided to do it again. This is it. I’m so excited for the fight.”

The Filipino fighting icon fought with a shoulder injury at the MGM Grand in 2015, and hopes this time around, despite being well past his prime, he will be fresh to deliver an exciting main event.

“I learnt a lot from that fight, way back in 2015. We’ve become mature now and [know] how to handle it. I hope that it will happen again like the way it was in 2015 – the experience – not really 100%, but [close.] I’m hoping this time around no excuses, especially to my condition.”

The fight has added intrigue given Mayweather will put his precious undefeated record on the line, but Pacquiao revealed that he had first tried to avoid that by making the bout an exhibition.

“Before, he wanted an exhibition with me. I disagree. I don’t want to fight an exhibition with him. I want to fight a real fight like this. This is it. This is what [I’ve been] waiting for.”

Netflix will stream the fight live from The Sphere, Las Vegas on September 19. Mayweather’s record will either notch upwards to 51-0, or remain at 50 wins if Pacquiao can turn back the clock.

Anthony Joshua’s family make feelings clear on potential July boxing return as Brit continues recovery from tragic crash

ANTHONY JOSHUA’s family will “fully” support him if he chooses to return to the ring.

AJ’s fighting future has been up in the air since the fatal car crash which killed his two close friends and team members, Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami, in Nigeria last December.

JUST IN: Why Eddie Hearn Walks Back Anthony Joshua July Return Talk

Joshua, 36, miraculously escaped the horror smash with minor injuries by swapping seats moments before the ill-fated journey took place.

The former two-time unified heavyweight champion has yet to speak on his fighting future, although he has been training and spoken of plans to honour his late friends.

And according to his uncle Ademola, the entire Joshua family will throw their weight behind him should he choose to lace up his gloves again.

Ademola told Nigerian newspaper The Punch: “We are proud of him, very proud of him.

“The way we, the elderly, think is very different from theirs, but it is all at his discretion.

“He makes the full decision, and we have full respect for him, whatever he decides.

“Whatever he has decided within himself, we will support him fully.”

Watching his nephew – who last fought in December against Jake Paul – trade yet more blows with some of the hardest-hitting humans on the planet won’t be easy for Ademola.

He said: “Each time he’s knocked down, it is just like the heart is coming out of our chest.

“All these emotional feelings whenever he’s fighting, it’s too much trauma for us also.”

Ademola’s comments on AJ potentially fighting again come on the back of promoter Eddie Hearn revealing he’s tentatively targeting a July return for the Watford warrior.

He told Boxing Scene: “[He was] due to fight in March, then fight Tyson Fury in August.

“That’s not happening anymore. He won’t be fighting Tyson Fury next.

“He’s going to come back late summer but physically he’s not in a position to return to camp.

“So I’m planning, but he’s just resting and preparing.

“We’ve really not had any solid plans to announce what’s next. I’m looking at options to get him in the ring in July time.

“But we’ll only know if that’s a real possibility when he returns to camp, which will hopefully be in the next couple of weeks.

“I think there’s nothing more that he wants at the moment than to return to training camp because it’s where he loves to be.”

Why Eddie Hearn Walks Back Anthony Joshua July Return Talk

By
Eddie Hearn Anthony Joshua

Eddie Hearn is walking back the buzz around Anthony Joshua potentially returning to the ring in July, clarifying that his earlier comments were speculative and that nothing has been decided.

Speaking to BoxingScene, Hearn explained that the chatter about a summer comeback stemmed from discussions about Joshua simply returning to the gym — not committing to a fight.

“I think he’s thinking about going back to [training] camp. I don’t think he’s thinking about fighting,” Hearn said. “He’s just thinking about, at some point, returning to training camp because I think he likes doing that, and that’s going to give him the answers as to ‘if’ and ‘when’ [he fights again].”

Hearn noted that Joshua could be heading back into camp within the next two to three weeks, which would then open the door for more concrete conversations about timing and opponents.

“Only then can there be a conversation about what’s realistic time wise and opponent wise, and that’s why we said July-ish could be a potential return,” Hearn said. “No decisions made yet.”

The promoter acknowledged the speculation had taken on a life of its own, but stressed that multiple outcomes remain on the table. Joshua could return in July, push a fight to the end of the year, or step away from the sport entirely.

“He could also go back to training camp and determine he’s not ready yet, and fight at the end of the year, or decide his heart isn’t in it anymore,” Hearn said. “I think training camp is a good place for him, because it’s a place that he feels very happy and motivated, and hopefully physically, he’ll feel like he’s ready to return.”

Joshua’s most recent ring appearance was a sixth-round knockout victory over Jake Paul on Netflix in December 2025 — a performance that had reignited talk of a serious comeback. But just 10 days after the fight, a fatal car accident in Nigeria cast a shadow over those plans, claiming the lives of two members of his inner circle — personal trainer Latif Ayodele and strength and conditioning coach Sina Ghami — and leaving Joshua to reflect on his future in the sport. Whether he laces up again remains an open question for now.

Why Pacquiao–Mayweather 2 Finally Came Together After Years of Failed Talks

For years, a rematch between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. seemed inevitable — and yet always out of reach.

According to Pacquiao and his promotional team, the long-anticipated sequel only came together when timing aligned, negotiations simplified, and the right platform emerged to deliver the fight on a global scale.

“This was a lot of work,” said Jazz Mathur, chairman and CEO of Limitless X Holdings, Inc. and CEO of Manny Pacquiao Promotions. “It took a lot of time. Manny tried — I wouldn’t say failed — but planted seeds. It just took the right time and the right team in place to be able to get it done.”

READ: Netflix officially announces Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2 with date an

The rematch, scheduled for Sept. 19 in Las Vegas, will be streamed globally by Netflix, marking one of the streaming giant’s most significant moves into traditional professional boxing.

Years of Talk, Little Movement

Pacquiao and Mayweather first fought in May 2015 in what was billed as “The Fight of the Century.”

While Mayweather won by unanimous decision, the bout’s legacy remained divisive despite generating more than $600 million in total revenue and a record 4.4 million pay-per-view buys.

In the years that followed, speculation about a rematch never fully faded — but talks repeatedly stalled.

The Ring Magazine reported in October that the two sides were again in discussions, with a fall date targeted. Even then, Mathur said, the biggest challenge was not convincing the fighters but navigating the layers around them.

‘Too Many Chefs in the Kitchen’

Mathur said the most persistent obstacle was the number of intermediaries involved over the years — and how deals were presented.

“The biggest barrier is sometimes there are people in the way who don’t present the deal the right way or aren’t able to get it closed,” Mathur said. “A lot of times people look after themselves rather than looking after the fighters and what the fans want.”

He said negotiations often broke down when too many voices attempted to control the process.

“When you have too many chefs in the kitchen, it always spoils the food,” Mathur said.

According to Mathur, once talks narrowed to the right decision-makers — and with a clear vision for distribution — progress accelerated.

Pacquiao’s Return Reignites Talks

Another turning point came when Pacquiao returned to the ring last year after a brief retirement. In July, the 47-year-old challenged Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title in Las Vegas, earning a majority draw.

“Manny came out of retirement. He did a return pro fight,” Mathur said. “Obviously Floyd sees that.”

Mathur said Mayweather’s competitive nature played a role in reopening discussions.

“Floyd’s very competitive,” he said. “He feels he can come in and do the same thing. So why not give it that chance?”

Mayweather, who retired undefeated at 50-0, recently announced plans to return to boxing in a professional capacity after an April 25 exhibition bout against Mike Tyson, clearing another hurdle toward finalizing the deal.

Pacquiao confirmed that earlier talks failed in part because he was unwilling to participate in an exhibition bout.

“I didn’t want an exhibition,” Pacquiao said in a recent interview. “I want a real fight.”

Netflix’s Global Platform Seals It

Ultimately, Mathur said Netflix’s reach was the final piece.

“Netflix is a global phenomenon,” he said. “We’ll have hundreds of millions of people viewing this. There are so many additional opportunities that come out of it.”

Rather than relying on a traditional pay-per-view model, the fight will be available to Netflix subscribers worldwide, expanding its potential audience beyond boxing’s core fan base.

More than 11 years after their first meeting, Pacquiao and Mayweather are set to revisit one of boxing’s most enduring rivalries — not because of nostalgia alone, but because, this time, the deal finally came together the right way

Gervonta Davis Coach Comments on ‘Tank’s Return to Boxing

By
Gervonta Davis

Calvin Ford, the long-time coach for Gervonta Davis, has commented on the probability of Tank returning to the ring.

The former pound-for-pound boxing star last fought in April, 2026, when he shared a disputed draw with Lamont Roach Jr.

Since then, he was linked with a Roach rematch but instead moved toward an exhibition involving Jake Paul on Netflix. Most Valuable Promotions, though, canceled that event amid allegations ‘Tank’ had committed battery causing injury. Though he denies the allegations, the matter remains unresolved at the time of publication.

The sport of boxing continues without Davis but, per Ford, the fighter’s comeback will be for a big fight.

“He ain’t going anywhere,” Ford told the Rize Podcast. “Tank is still here. And I guarantee you something that will happen. Everybody miss Tank fighting, and when he come back it will be the right fight as we want to entertain.

“Things happen for a reason to make a person much stronger,” Ford added. “One of the guys you truly love is not in the mix right now but he will be back in the mix. Tank been doing this since he’s been 7 years old. Sometimes you need that reset. Him being away, going through things he’s being through. He looks happy. I can’t wait.

“I can’t tell nobody who I’d to see in the comeback — that’s who we’re going to fight. It’s being promoted right under your nose.”

Watch the clip right here:

During his prime years, Davis forged a reputation as one of boxing’s scariest punchers because of the way in which he was able to finish guys like Jose Pedraza, Leo Santa Cruz, and Mario Barrios. In other wins, he defeated Rolando Romero, Ryan Garcia, and Frank Martin.

Claressa Shields Reveals Next Fights After Beating Franchon Crews-Dezurn

It wasn’t long after Claressa Shields defeated Franchon Crews-Dezurn for a second time when she turned her attention to what’s next for her in boxing.

Shields showcased superior hand-speed, technical qualities and precision in her punching, and also, through trainer John David Jackson, seems to be enhancing her power now that she’s becoming increasingly accustomed to life as a heavyweight.

And so, despite a brutal slugging match that Crews-Dezurn instigated in the opening rounds, Shields adjusted, and boxed in cruise control from there after, earning lopsided scores of 100-90 across the board, and moving her pro record to 18-0 (3 KOs).

Speaking live at the time, when on the mic in the middle of the Little Ceasars Arena ring in Detroit, Shields surveyed the women’s boxing landscape and gave an indication of what her next fight in the sport might be.

As far as Shields sees it, she has three options — and they all involve cutting to a weight below the one she’s now accustomed to competing in.

Immediately after her win, she said:

“I’d love to share the ring with Shadasia.”

Green, at 16-1 (11 KOs), is a unified super middleweight champion who recently beat Savannah Marshall. “She’s at 168 pounds,” Shields said. “I’d go down and fight against her.”

Super middleweight appears a division Shields is openly targeting, as she even suggested she’d fight a trilogy against Crews-Dezurn, as her two-time opponent has “belts at 168.”

Shields and Crews-Dezurn were familiar with one another from their amateur days, and then debut as pros against one another, with Claressa taking a win by four-round decision. She topped that with a 10-round decision on Sunday. “You might see Shields vs Crews-Dezurn 3,” she said.

Mikaela Mayer, in the DAZN booth as part of the on-screen talent for the Shields vs Crews-Dezurn 2 fight, promoted by Salita Promotions, was brought up again and again on the broadcast as a viable opponent for Claressa, as it would bring together two prominent pound-for-pound talents in an all-American clash.

For that prospective match-up, Shields offered only one word: “Absolutely.”

“He’s fighting who I want him to”: Gervonta Davis coach confirms comeback plan

A big update has been given on the fighting future of Gervonta Davis.

Davis hasn’t fought since his controversial draw with Lamont Roach Jr back in March 2025, having been involved in some serious legal issues since then.

He had been scheduled to take on YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in November, but those problems outside of the ring led to that bout being cancelled, and ‘Tank’ has subsequently been stripped of his WBA lightweight title.

Many boxing fans have wondered whether or not Davis may ever compete again, but his coach Calvin Ford has insisted to The Rize Podcast that ‘Tank’ will indeed return, and that he has a good idea who he will face.

“He will be back in the mix.

Tank has been doing this sh*t since he was seven-years-old. Sometimes you need that reset because that reset means a lot.

“I can’t wait. I already know who I would like to see for a comeback. The person I want to see him in the ring with is the one we’re going to fight. That’s why I can’t say yet. I’m campaigning for it.

“At the end of the day he has to make the decision on who he wants to fight, but I know it has to be the right opponent, especially for his fans so they can really say I support him. It has to be a fight where they can be like ‘yeah!’”

Davis remains one of the biggest names in the sport, and if he was to return, he is at the top of the hit list for one reigning world champion.
