Jake Paul has next opponent, will take on Tommy Fury in December

Jake Paul has his next opponent, and that's the real boxer. Paul will face British boxer Tommy Fury on December 18.

The fight was announced Friday, days after Paul said the match against Fury "didn't cut it".

Fury, 22, is the half-brother of boxer Tyson Fury. He reached 7-0 in his professional career. Four of Fury's victories are down.

Paul, 24, is in the 4-0 position of his career. His final victory came in August, when he defeated MMA fighter Tyron Woodley in a split decision.

In addition to the fight, Fury agreed to bet on a side that could force a name change, as Paul explained:

"I've been invited to change my name to Tommy Fumbles or put $500,000 in his wallet if he loses. It has decided to accept a change of name. It probably makes more money available than it does with its family name. Perhaps he knows that his family disapproves of him once he is lost, so the only money he has left is Molly [Mae-Hague] and [Tommy's girlfriend and the British television personality].

Paul, who has gained popularity as a social media personality, comes out of a victory in August over Tyron Woodley who is the former champion of UFC in the field of weight.

Fury also has a passion for attention, competing with Molly-Mae Hague on the reality show Love Island.

The 22-year-old has an undefeated record as a boxer, but only one of his last four opponents has a career success, according to BoxRec. 배트맨토토 Fury's last KO shot came against Scott Williams, who is 0-20.

Fury defeated Anthony Taylor unanimously in August, as the referee for Paul's fight against Woodley.

The next pay-per-view could be a chance for both competitors to generate significant revenues.

Michael Jordan's game-worn rookie Air Ships sell for record-shattering $1.47M

A pair of game-worn shoes Michael Jordan scored during his rookie year sold for $1.47 million at Sunday's auction, breaking the previous record of $615,000 set by Jordanian shoes last year.

Sotheby's estimates the shoes will cost between $1 million and $1.5 million. Card collector Nick Fiorella put the winning bid at $1.47 million at the Icon of Excellence & Haute Luxury auction in Las Vegas.

The shoes are Nike Air Ships, designed by the icon Bruce Kilgore, who in 1982 created Nike Air Force 1s and then designed the Air Jordan IIs. The legend is that when Nike concluded an agreement with Jordan in 1984, his first Air Jordan 1s was not ready. Meanwhile, Nike has supplied Jordan with aircraft, but the Jordanian aircraft were so coloured that the NBA informed him that they were in breach of the uniform clause.

The pair, in particular, were signed by Jordan, as well as have a talent for care and are currently sold by former Nuggets ball boy TJ Lewis.

Brahm Wachter, who led Sotheby's streetwear and modern collector's arms, said, "Since news of these sneakers broke out, it has caused. [Buzz] Big, this special result for Jordan airship Nike not only mentions the strength of the collection goods market, but also the respect held by Michael Jordan's products and Jordan franchises."

The previous record for worn sneakers was, unsurprisingly, also a pair of Jordan. In a preseason exhibition in Italy in 1985, 토토 Jordan smashed the backboard with a dunk. Air Jordan 1s he wore the game -- still with a piece of glass in the sole of his left shoe -- sold at Christie's auction in August 2020 for $615,000.

Jordan Air Ships is the second most expensive shoe ever sold at auction, the prototype Yeezy 1 Kanye West revealed and worn at the 2008 Grammy sold for $1.8 million with Sotheby's last April.
