Jake Paul admits proposing to Jutta Leerdam was more nerve-wracking than any fight and he needed help of strong whiskey
JAKE PAUL revealed proposing to his partner Jutta Leerdam was more nerve-wracking than any fight - and he needed strong whiskey in his corner. The sports power couple went official in April 2024 and have gone from strength to strength since. 8 8 8 8 Paul popped the question in March during a romantic getaway in St. Lucia - getting down on one knee behind a beautiful lake background. And the YouTuber-turned-boxer - who has 11 wins in his 12 professional fights - admits no opponent has struck the same fear into him. After requiring some Dutch courage, he said: "By far I was way more nervous to propose than than for any fight. "So yeah, to all the men who are getting ready to propose, some whiskey before it's very helpful." Cruiserweight Paul began dating champion speedskater Jutta just months after his first and so far only loss - a split-decision defeat to Tommy Fury. And he revealed how the Dutch Winter Olympian helped him overcome the setback in the ring. The boxer became an uncle in September when brother Logan and Danish supermodel fiancee Nina Agdal welcomed baby daughter Esme into the world. Paul plans for kids of his own but has warned he will wait for Jutta to compete at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. 8 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS The newly-engaged enjoy a long-distance relationship due to their training schedules - pitting them over 4,000 miles away from each other. Jutta, 26, is coached in her homeland of the Netherlands while Ohio-born Paul, 26, has relocated to Puerto Rico where he has a custom £3million gym. He has his team out with him in the Caribbean island - where he also lives in a £13m mansion - including the famously tough conditioning coach Larry Wade. Paul revealed: "His track workouts are absolutely brutal, long runs, sprinting. Not a lot of breaks. It's hot in Puerto Rico and muggy. "So you really find out who you are, like I said, in those moments and I just have that voice while I'm running that's wanting to quit but you just have to push through that. "And I think that's the art of fighting and in the ring you have those moments where your body is telling you to give up but you just have to push to the next round and keep going." Paul returns on June 28 in California against former middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39, live on DAZN PPV. And he will do so back at cruiserweight having gone to heavyweight in November for his controversial clash with Mike Tyson - who made a comeback aged 58. Paul had hoped to capitalise on the 100 MILLION viewers he had tune in on Netflix by holding shocks talks to fight either Canelo Alvarez, 34, or Gervonta Davis, 30. But when both collapsed, he turned to Chavez, the son of Mexican icon Julio Cesar Sr who was also beaten on points by Canelo in 2017. Paul said: "I wanted the hardest and the biggest fights, which was first Canelo then Gervonta fell through. "And then at any given point in time we're negotiating or talking with five to six fighters to see who's down and ready to fight and making a date happen. "And after Canelo and Gervonta, we were talking to multiple people and Chavez was the one to step up, that made sense for me to stay active and get a fight in June. "So really it's just the long line and I just need more time but I'm gonna get to all of these names when the stars aligned." 8 8 8

Logan Paul's jaw-dropping springboard moonsault wows fans at WWE Money in the Bank
Logan Paul has continuously performed highlight reel-worthy moves in the WWE ring since he became a member of the company a few years ago. Saturday night's Money in the Bank may have taken the cake. Paul teamed up with John Cena to take on Cody Rhodes and world heavyweight champion Jey Uso in the latest chapter of Cena's farewell tour. Cena interrupted Paul's title match at "Saturday Night's Main Event" last month, leading to the return of Rhodes. In the last few weeks, the four men have taken sides, and it culminated into a match. He hit a few of his signature moves during the match – a frog splash here, a Paul-verizer there. But fans jumped out of their seats when he and Uso fought outside the ring. Paul put Uso on top of one of the announcer tables. He then went to the apron and looked back to check Uso a couple of times before he hopped onto the middle rope and did a moonsault to crash onto Uso. The two pro wrestlers went through the table together in what may have been the moment of the night. Unfortunately for the Paul-Cena team, the match didn't go into their favor. As the referee checked on both Paul and Uso, Cena hit Rhodes with the Undisputed WWE Championship belt. Then R-Truth made a shocking appearance to cost Cena the match. Rhodes hit Cena with the Cross Rhodes and pinned him for the win. But Paul's move caught the eye of WWE fans. Jake Paul even weighed in with his take. "My brother is the best wrestler in the WWE," the boxer wrote on X. It's unclear what's next for Logan Paul. Cena, leaning into his heel character, dubbed Paul the future face of WWE. Paul has certainly shown he has the move set for it. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

WWE Money in the Bank 2025: March card and bold predictions
The post WWE Money in the Bank 2025: March card and bold predictions appeared first on ClutchPoints. It's already time for the 2025 WWE Money in the Bank PLE, and it has a stacked four-bout card with two ladder matches — who will earn themselves a world championship match? Advertisement Plus, a year after announcing his retirement tour at the 2024 Money in the Bank event, WWE Champion John Cena will compete at his final iteration of the annual PLE. He will team with Logan Paul to face World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso and a returning Cody Rhodes. Aside from the two namesake ladder matches, there is a Women's Intercontinental Championship and high-profile tag team bout. Triple H loves a four-match card, and that's what fans are getting with Money in the Bank. 2025 WWE Money in the Bank match card and predicted winners Below is the full match card for the 2025 WWE Money in the Bank PLE. Note: the order of the matches has not been confirmed as of the time of this writing. Predicted winners are bolded. Advertisement Men's Money in the Bank ladder match: Seth Rollins vs. LA Knight vs. Penta vs. Solo Sikoa vs. Andrade vs. El Grande Americano Women's Money in the Bank ladder match: Alexa Bliss vs. Roxanne Perez vs. Rhea. Ripley vs. Giulia vs. Naomi vs. Stephanie Vaquer Tag team match: Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso vs. John Cena and Logan Paul Women's Intercontinental Championship: Lyra Valkyria (c) vs. Becky Lynch Can John Cena and Logan Paul co-exist? © Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images The match: Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso vs. John Cena and Logan Paul Instead of having John Cena defend the WWE Championship in what could be his last match in Los Angeles, WWE has him teaming with Logan Paul against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. It feels like a waste of Cena in his last run as an in-ring performer, but alas. Even if Travis Scott or The Rock interfere, I don't foresee the babyface team losing. Rhodes needs a rematch against Cena to get his revenge, and that can start with him pinning the champ. Expect Rhodes and Uso to win, setting the former up for a rematch at SummerSlam in August 2025. Advertisement Cena's 17th world championship has been fumbled. It should have been a moment celebrated by all WWE fans. Instead, it's been a dud in a storyline that was obviously constructed on the fly. Final prediction: Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso defeat John Cena and Logan Paul. Will it be 'Mami in the Bank'? The match: Women's Money in the Bank ladder match: Alexa Bliss vs. Roxanne Perez vs. Rhea. Ripley vs. Giulia vs. Naomi vs. Stephanie Vaquer Given WWE's recent moves, like cutting R-Truth and Carlito from their roster as part of cost-saving efforts, you'd think the marketability of Rhea Ripely winning Money in the Bank would be too great to pass up. Advertisement There certainly is a chance Ripley could win, but it'd cause a stir online. I think Ripley will come really close, but someone, whether it be Iyo Sky or someone else, will interfere and cost her the match. Giving it to a young star like Roxanne Perez or Stephanie Vaquer is another solid option. The briefcase could launch them to the main event as they did with Tiffany Stratton. However, I think Naomi is who WWE will go with. She is having the run of her career at the moment, and why not add fuel to the fire? She could steal the Women's Championship from Stratton with a cash in and head into a match against Jade Cargill and/or Bianca Belair as champ at SummerSlam. Final prediction: Naomi wins the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match. Third time's the charm for LA Knight? Hali Tauxe/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK. The match: Men's Money in the Bank ladder match: Seth Rollins vs. LA Knight vs. Penta vs. Solo Sikoa vs. Andrade vs. El Grande Americano Advertisement For the third year in a row, LA Knight will compete in a Money in the Bank ladder match. Despite not winning either of the last two, he has remained perpetually over. It would be nice if WWE rewarded Knight for his efforts with a win. He's probably not the favorite, as Seth Rollins has a faction behind him that could interfere, but I think Knight will finally pull it off. Either Roman Reigns or CM Punk will cost Rollins the match. Heck, I could see both of them getting involved, as Reigns has unfinished business with both Superstars. While another Rollins run with the briefcase would be interesting, Knight has earned a chance to shine. Rollins will probably beat Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship at some point, but it won't be via the Money in the Bank briefcase. Advertisement As for the rest of the field, Andrade hasn't been important in months, ditto for Solo Sikoa since he lost to Reigns at the WWE Monday Night RAW on Netflix premiere on January 6, 2025. El Grande Americano would be unexpected, but there's no shot WWE pushes Chad Gable like that. Final prediction: LA Knight wins the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match. Becky Lynch, Women's Intercontinental Champion? Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images. The match: Lyra Valkyria (c) vs. Becky Lynch for the Women's Intercontinental Championship At one time, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that Becky Lynch would beat Lyra Valkyria for the Women's Intercontinental Championship. Their Money in the Bank showdown being a 'Last Chance' match — which means Lynch can no longer challenge for it for as long as Valkyria is champion if she loses — takes some intrigue out of it. Advertisement I still think Lynch will inevitably win the belt someday, but not yet. Her winning would help build Valkyria as a babyface in pursuit of regaining her championship. But we're still awaiting the return of Bayley, who Lynch took out to be Valkyria's tag team partner at WrestleMania 41. Unless WWE has no plans for Bayley at any point soon, she will probably attack Lynch, setting up a triple threat match between them at SummerSlam or the next Saudi Arabia show. Final prediction: Lyra Valkyria retains the Women's Intercontinental Championship. WWE Money in the Bank starts at 6:30 pm EST on Saturday, June 7, 2025.
