The fight will see Paul, 27, face Tyson, 57, and will be broadcast live on Netflix.

It is unclear as of yet whether it will be a professional or an exhibition fight.

But Paul was quick to disparage online rumors about the rules of battle.

It was claimed on TikTok that some quirky additions would be made to help the YouTuber out.

One of the stipulations discussed was that Paul would be allowed to wear a headguard while Tyson would not.

While another claimed he could tag his WWE star brother Logan.

Appears on the Regarding podcast, Paul could barely hide his annoyance at the claims.

He said: “It’s so sad that millions of people believe that. It’s fucking absurd. Obviously, none of that is true.

“They’re so damn stupid. Anyone who thinks so should not vote.

“Actually, this is what I was thinking: There should be hidden tests throughout life that qualify you to vote or not.

‘And they don’t know whether they’re taking a test or not.

“The fact that these people not only drive around our streets, but can also vote? They drive cars there! They’re stupid as f*** and it’s sad.

“We live in a fucked up world. Man is getting dumber and dumber every day. It’s crazy.”

Paul extended his professional boxing record to 9-1 in February when he defeated Ryan Bourland in Puerto Rico.

While former heavyweight king Tyson has not fought professionally since losing to Kevin McBride in 2005.

But he did face Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition in November 2020.

Current WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is a fan of the controversial Paul vs. Tyson match.

He told The pounding ground: “I love boxing.

“You have a legend in Mike Tyson. You have a YouTube boxer who came into the game and blew it up and he has millions of followers and millions of views and millions of eyes.

“Good, bad or indifferent. Some people love him, some people hate him.

“So I think it’s a very good spectacle for boxing. It brings a lot of people to the game.

“And listen, who am I to say, ‘Oh, Mike Tyson shouldn’t be boxing or Jake Paul shouldn’t be boxing,’ good luck to them.”

“They’re both going to make what I call a lot of money from it. So that’s not the point?’

Chinese state media have seized on Paul Keating’s much-criticized meeting with the country’s top foreign affairs official, praising the Labor hero as an “insightful Australian”.

Mr Keating has become a prominent critic of Australia’s approach to the United States and China, speaking with the economic powerhouse’s foreign minister, Wang Yi, in Sydney during a diplomatic visit on Thursday.

Pictures of the pair’s meeting at the Chinese consulate were published last night, with the Chinese government claiming Mr Keating said ‘China’s development and revitalization cannot be stopped’.

“Keating said that China’s huge economic volume and vast space for development do not pose a threat to other countries and are conducive to regional peace and stability,” said a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China.

“He expressed his full confidence in the prospect of Australia-China relations.”

In the footage, Mr Wang placed his hand comfortably on Mr Keating’s back and led the former prime minister into the meeting room.

Mr Wang described Mr Keating as a “world-renowned statesman” as the pair sat opposite each other in oversized armchairs with cups of tea.

In a separate article published by Global Times, China’s state-run newspaper, Keating was described as an “insightful Australian” for his vehement criticism of the AUKUS deal.

“Some insightful Australians have already realized that Australia is surrendering its sovereignty to the US,” the article reads.

‘Former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating recently criticized the AUKUS deal as the ‘worst international decision’. Hopefully, such words can sound the alarm for countries interested in joining AUKUS, regardless of which pillar it may be.”

After the meeting, Mr Keating issued a statement praising the “very pleasant and engaging event” and accepting that Mr Wang’s meetings with government officials were productive.

‘Mr Wang Yi emphasized China’s ability to continue to grow strong and strong, pointing out that China is still only 55 percent urbanized – another 20 percent to go.

‘Mainly [it was] a major discussion about the geostrategic balances and influences in the world.

“He said the world will continue to benefit from China’s ability to provide relatively low-priced, high-quality goods, which will help raise living standards in the West.”

Mr Keating has repeatedly criticized the Albanian government’s approach to China, claiming Foreign Minister Wong had been co-opted into taking a “foolish pro-American stance”.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong, who has faced much of Keating’s criticism, released a statement noting that the former prime minister does not represent Australia or speak for Australia.

‘Mr Keating is entitled to his opinion. He does not speak for the government or the country,” Senator Wong said in an earlier statement to The Australian.

And opposition Foreign Affairs spokesman Simon Birmingham raised questions earlier this week about the format of Keating’s meeting.

‘Look what Paul Keating had to say about Penny Wong and the Albanian government. And he has been very critical of them,” Mr. Birmingham noted.

On Friday he doubled down on his position, describing Mr Keating’s “attitude towards the way we view regional security issues” as “misguided, ill-considered and downright dangerous”.

“In terms of what Paul Keating has to say and how this affects Australia, it is critical that Australian governments reject much of his vision and approach as it gives far too much gloss and ignores the real strategic challenges.

“Frankly, it was quite pointed of the Chinese embassy to seek and request that meeting, and somewhat insulting to Penny Wong and the Albanian government, of whom Paul Keating has been such a critic.”

At the opening of the Australia-China Foreign and Strategic Dialogue, Ms Wong reiterated her pledge to confront Chinese leaders on key issues.

She said she “looks forward to speaking candidly about Australians detained in China, human rights, maritime security and regional and international issues.”

Ms Wong spoke of China’s “unsafe conduct” in the South China Sea and urged the nation to adhere to international law.

Her input on the subject in the past has angered Mr Keating, who has emerged as an outspoken supporter of China and critic of the AUKUS deal.

Speaking at the ASEAN Summit, Ms Wong said: “We are facing destabilizing, provocative and coercive actions, including unsafe behavior at sea and in the air and militarization of contested features.

“We know that military power is expanding, but measures to limit military conflict are not – and there are few concrete mechanisms to avert this.”

Just a day later, Mr Keating criticized her comments, claiming that ‘it doesn’t take much to encourage Penny Wong, with her ‘deeply concerned’ frown, to rattle the China can.’

These comments prompted a swift response from Mr Albanese, who considers Ms Wong one of his closest confidantes.

‘Penny Wong is someone who gives Australia a lot of respect. “She is someone who is diligent, she is someone who is committed, she is someone who ticks all the boxes,” he said.

‘Paul is responsible for what he says, he knows that. But as far as Penny Wong is concerned, I think he is clearly wrong.”

Mr Albanese attended Ms Wong’s wedding to her long-time partner Sophie Allouache at the Bird in Hand Winery in the Adelaide Hills on Saturday.

Paul Rudd may be fighting ghosts in his new movie, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empirebut his last interview during his press conference had nothing to do with monsters and was all about it Taylor Swift instead of.

“I think she’s really good. I think she’s amazing,” Rudd, 54, said of Swift, 34, on Thursday, March 21. interview with MTVs Joshua Horowitz.

“Do you sing along to the songs?” he asked the actor. “You went to the Eras tourare you singing?”

Rudd smiled big before answering, “Yes.” I’m working on a lot of those things.”

To make sure Rudd was telling the truth, the MTV host decided to question the movie star and see if he could name some of his favorite Swift songs. “Which one comes up and you’re like, ‘I can’t stop myself?’” Horowitz asked.

“I really like ‘Mastermind.’ I would sing about that a lot,” Rudd quickly replied. But he didn’t stop there. Like a true Swiftie, he continued listing more songs and added “Cruel Summer” just like everyone else. Right? ‘The Sagittarius’, perhaps. ‘August’ perhaps.’

He then laughed when he realized the songs he mentioned had something in common, and joked, “I’ll just go by the A’s now.”

This is not the first time Rudd has spoken publicly about the pop star. During a performance on March 13 at The Late Show with Stephen Colberthe opened up about how much he loved attending her concert.

“I was so impressed by the fact that it looked like a stadium full of 80,000 people, which it was, and I thought there was so much support and love and positivity,” he told the 59-year-old Colbert. “Normally it’s the opposite feeling. . You know, it gets pretty rough [in stadiums]. The Super Bowl, there’s a lot of yelling and fans fighting with each other, [but] there it was pure love and support. It was incredible.”

Rachel Stevens has revealed S Club 7’s plans to mark the one-year anniversary of the death of their bandmate Paul Cattermole.

The star was found dead on April 6 – just two months after he and the band announced they would be going on a reunion tour this fall.

Rachel Stevens has now revealed that she and her S Club 7 bandmates will be ‘raising a glass’ in Paul’s honor to mark this sad occasion. The sun on Sunday that touring with the group was “redemptive” after Paul’s death.

She told the publication: “I can’t believe it’s a year away, but we will absolutely raise a glass.”

She added: “We celebrate him all the time and that’s another thing that’s so special about getting back together.

“Paul was so excited about this tour, and it has become a tribute and celebration of him.

“It was very emotional, but it’s a very cathartic way to share him and his memories.”

Hannah, Paul, Rachel, Tina Barrett, 47, Jon Lee, 41, Bradley McIntosh, 42, and Jo O’Meara, 44, formed S Club 7 in 1998 and had a string of big hits between 1999 and 2003.

They had four number one singles, including Don’t Stop Movin’ and Never Had A Dream Come True.

Paul died suddenly of natural causes, before it was later revealed that he had died due to heart problems. There was no investigation into his death.

His body was discovered in his ground floor flat in Wareham, Dorset, devastating his bandmates and fans.

Paul, who made a living as a tarot card reader after leaving the group in 2002, was said to have been in ‘good spirits’ when he was seen days earlier in a park near his home.

A spokeswoman for the Dorset Coroner’s Office said: ‘We confirm that Mr Cattermole died of natural causes and our investigation has concluded. As his death was from natural causes, there will be no inquest.”

His ex-girlfriend and fellow S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt is said to be ‘in pieces’ after being told the news.

After his death, the band was renamed S Club when Hannah withdrew from the tour a month later.

His family and S Club released a joint statement announcing his sad passing.

They said: ‘It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved son and brother Paul Cattermole.

‘Paul was found at his home in Dorset yesterday, April 6, 2023, and was pronounced dead later that afternoon.

‘Although the cause of death is currently unknown, Dorset Police have confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances.

“Paul’s family, friends and fellow S Club members are requesting privacy at this time.”

The band paid tribute to Paul on social media at the time.

They wrote alongside a black and white photo of him in the band’s heyday: ‘We are truly devastated by the passing of our brother Paul. There are no words to describe the deep sadness and loss we all feel. We were so lucky to have him in our lives and are grateful for the wonderful memories we have.

“He will be greatly missed by all of us.”

After quitting S Club 7 in 2002, Paul made a living as a tarot card reader after falling on hard times.

He reinvented himself as a ‘spiritual psychic detective’ and made money by charging £39.99 for reading on a spiritual website.

In 2021, Paul launched a YouTube channel called Tarot Me This, where he called on fans to make a donation in exchange for a reading, explaining that ‘clairvoyance’ was his new field.

He later revealed that he hid his psychic abilities from the rest of S Club 7 because he feared it would make him sound “crazy.”

The singer previously explained how he goes into rooms and reads the “energy in them,” adding that the older he gets, the better he can “process” what’s going on.

After leaving his pop career behind, Paul spent a decade honing his skills to build his career, but he told how his abilities first surfaced in his teens, before becoming ‘more intense’ when he was in his twenties.

And to deal with his finances, he was forced to sell his Brit Award for Best Newcomer, won in 2002, for a staggering £66,100 after posting it on eBay.

In 2018, Paul left Loose Women viewers in tears as he discussed his life living on the breadline, revealing he lived on noodles and couldn’t afford a new shirt for his television appearance at the time.

Since his bankruptcy in 2015, he has fallen on hard times and is struggling with money problems.

CONOR McGREGOR has sensationally opened the door to the fight against Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury – by dubbing the trio ‘NERDS’.

McGregor has been called out by all three boxing stars, but the UFC legend has always distanced himself from the crossover fights.

But now it seems he has had a change of heart when asked to return to boxing and picked KSI as the best of the bunch to fight.

He told SneekPeakTV: “Yeah, you know, the YouTube nerds might say, I would consider that a nixer.

‘Your uncle’s friend needs a radiator in his house, so you take on a part-time job and get some extra income.

“I would consider them nixers. If I had to pick one I would say KSI, he has a big name in the UK”

The term “nixer” is Irish slang for a side job.

And McGregor put his MMA career aside in 2017 to switch to boxing and take on American icon Floyd Mayweather, who lost in ten rounds.

But due to his current UFC contract – which still has two fights remaining – the Irishman is banned from switching boxing again.

Although that has not stopped Paul – who returns against 57-year-old Mike Tyson on July 20 – from continuing to abuse McGregor.

Meanwhile, Fury – who has defeated both Paul and KSI – became the latest to challenge the MMA great following news of Tyson’s shock comeback.

And McGregor, 35, said in response: “The Pauls – that Tyson fight is just strange to me, I hope Tyson takes his nose off.

‘I’m sure, at some point [I’ll end up fighting one of them]I’m sure, at some point. You know, we’ll go through all these guys.

“Fury called me yesterday, and he beat Jake and fought KSI, so it’s like a different little world, right?”

McGregor has yet to fight since July 2021, when he broke his leg in the early rounds of his fight with 35-year-old Dustin Poirier.

But he remains linked with a return against 37-year-old Michael Chandler despite growing frustrated as talks drag on.

And now McGregor has further teased another attempt at boxing as he concluded: ‘I’m open to it. I will never say no, I will never say no.”

Taylor Swift‘s lead guitarist Paul Sidoti and his wife, Ashley Sidotiwelcomed baby No. 2 amid the international leg of the Eras tour.

“This morning we welcomed our little miracle Sammy Sidoti into the world,” Paul, 52, announced via Instagram on Tuesday, March 12. “Our prayers have been answered and mom and baby are doing great. Big sister Scarlett is over the moon about having a baby brother. All my love to @ashsidoti.”

A sign next to the newborn bore his full name, Samuel Paul Sidoti, birth information and the phrase, “He is perfect!”

Fans flooded the comments congratulating the parents. “Another Swiftie is born,” one user wrote, while another added: “What a great way to end the first leg of the tour.” A separate commenter said: “Sending the BEST wishes to you and your entire family! I’m glad you could be there for them.”

Sammy’s birth seemed like perfect timing, as Swift and her band recently completed a series of shows in Tokyo, Japan, followed by stops in Melbourne, Sydney and Singapore. The Eras Tour will resume in Paris, France from May.

Fans of Swift know that Paul has been by her side for most of her career, as they began collaborating on her self-titled debut album 17 years ago. In addition to playing guitar and singing, Paul has been touring with Swift since her second studio album. Fearless. He was prominently featured in the 2023 concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.

In addition to their professional success, Paul’s personal life is also closely linked to his work at Swift. He proposed to Ashley during the 2011 Speak world tour now in Dublin, Ireland, and they married later that year during the American leg of the tour.

Paul has only positive things to say about Swift and her music. He reflected on their long friendship and Swift’s incredible genre-spanning career while wishing her a happy birthday in December 2023.

“I can’t believe I’ve known you half your life,” he wrote via Instagram. “I knew all those years ago how incredibly special and talented you are. So proud of everything you have achieved. I am very proud to always be by your side on that magical stage.”

Paul Alexander, the man who lived in an iron lung for more than seventy years, has died at the age of 78.

a fundraising for his health care, Alexander, of Dallas, Texas, confirmed his death on Monday without providing further details.

Alexander spent an extraordinary life in the iron lung machine after contracting polio in 1952 at the age of six, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down.

Unable to breathe on his own, he relied on the machine to breathe for more than seventy years – even as new technologies became available.

But despite his physical limitations, Alexander achieved much as a published author, lawyer and avid traveler, remembered worldwide for his smile and inspiring attitude to life.

Christopher Ulmer, an organizer and disability rights activist, wrote on Alexander’s GoFundMe page Tuesday: “Paul Alexander, “The Man in the Iron Lung,” passed away yesterday.

‘After surviving polio as a child, he lived in an iron lung for more than seventy years. During this time, Paul went to college, became a lawyer, and a published author.

“His story spread far and wide and positively influenced people around the world.

“Paul was an incredible role model who will still be remembered.”

During an extraordinary life, Alexander’s determination led him to achieve a number of remarkable achievements.

At age 21, he became the first person to graduate from a Dallas high school without ever attending classes in person.

He was admitted to Southern Methodist University in Dallas, after many problems with the university administration, and then went on to study law at the University of Texas, Austin.

He pursued his dreams of becoming a trial lawyer, representing clients in court wearing a three-piece suit and a modified wheelchair that kept his paralyzed body upright.

He also organized a sit-in for disability rights and published his own memoir, titled “Three Minutes for a Dog: My Life in an Iron Lung.”

The 155-page memoir was carefully drafted and took five years to complete; Paul wrote every word with a pen on a stick in his mouth.

Paul outlived both his parents, his brother and even his original iron lung, which began leaking air in 2015 but was repaired by mechanic Brady Richards, following a YouTube video of Paul pleading for help.

Near the ventilator, a large yellow metal box, patients must lie inside, with the device strapped tightly around their neck.

It works by creating a vacuum to mechanically draw oxygen into the lungs in patients whose central nervous system and respiratory function have been affected by polio.

While in hospital, doctors tried to get Paul to breathe on his own by turning off the machine and forcing him outside, but it wouldn’t be long before he turned blue and passed out.

Despite the availability of more modern ventilators, Paul decided to continue using the iron lung machine because he was used to it.

Other devices also require intensive surgery.

Throughout his life, Alexander never let the device get in the way of what he wanted to achieve: traveling on airplanes, living independently, praying in church, visiting the ocean and falling in love.

While studying, Alexander met Claire, to whom he later became engaged. He spoke candidly to The Guardian about how her mother forbade him from speaking to her daughter.

“It took years to heal from that,” he told the outlet.

Later in life, Alexander formed a close bond with Kathy Gaines, who became his caregiver – or in his words, “arms and legs.”

Gaines stepped in to help after Alexander graduated from law school and supported him for more than thirty years.

Alexander said the couple “grew together” even as Gaines himself was legally blind due to Type 1 diabetes.

Polio is a contagious viral disease that affects the respiratory function of the central nervous system and can cause muscle weakness and paralysis.

It is transmitted through contaminated water and food or through contact with an infected person.

It has been largely eradicated around the world after the widespread use of the vaccine that came into use in the 1950s.

Today the disease is still endemic in only four countries: Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
