‘I would literally rip his heart out' – Jake Paul claims he could beat Canelo Alvarez even in a STREET FIGHT
JAKE PAUL claims he would beat Canelo Alvarez in the ring or STREETS and warned: "I would literally rip his heart out."
The YouTuber-turned-boxer and Mexican legend were close to agreeing a shock May 3 bout in Las Vegas - until Canelo walked away.

Canelo recently told TalkTV's Piers Morgan that Paul's life was SAVED after the collapse of their mega-bout.
But 11-1 Paul hit back: "My response is he's 5'8. Like, I'll see that guy anywhere and end his life for real. He doesn't want the smoke.
"I'll beat him in boxing but at the end of the day, if it was just man on man in the street, I would literally rip his heart out."
Canelo, 34, instead signed a four-bout deal with Saudi Arabia's Turki Alalshikh and regained his undisputed throne by beating William Scull, 32, in May.
Now he takes all four super-middleweight world titles into his September 13 blockbuster against Terence Crawford, 37, in Vegas.
So Paul, 28, instead returns on Saturday against former middleweight world champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39, in California on DAZN PPV.
But he still wants to settle the score with Canelo in the ring - audaciously planning to do so for a cruiserweight belt.
Paul said: "I think it has to happen at some point.
Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr
JAKE PAUL'S controversial boxing career rolls on this weekend with the Problem Child facing boxing royalty in Anaheim, California.
Paul will face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, a highly-decorated former world middleweight champion.
The Mexican, 39, has fought just once in the last four years but has the best boxing resume of any fighter to step into a ring with Paul - bar Mike Tyson, who was aged 58 at the time they fought.

"And especially get through this fight, get ranked, go for the world championship, have the cruiserweight belt and then me and Canelo can fight for the cruiserweight world championship."
Paul's only defeat came against Tommy Fury, 26, in Saudi Arabia - losing a split-decision.
But he has since bounced back with five wins - most recently against Mike Tyson who controversially came out of retirement in November aged 58.
Paul is in line for a surprise ranking with the WBC and WBA by beating Chavez - who is not currently rated within the governing bodies.
Paul said: "To become world champion I need to be ranked. That's what this fight is all about beating Chavez in a great fashion.
"We'll see where the WBA and WBC rank me and then hopefully I'll be able to go for a world title."

American living in the UK says she was mortified after using a 'normal' US word that has a very different meaning in Britain
An American woman has revealed three of the 'spiciest' US-based slang words that would leave most Brits mortified. California-born Devin, has spent the last two years living in London, where she has picked up on subtle language differences between the US and the UK. In a video shared to TikTok, Devin, who uses the handle @devinguccii, admitted she ha 'learned the hard way' that certain words have vastly different meanings in the UK to back home in the States. Offering her advice to fellow Yanks, she began the video by announcing that there were three words in particular that had landed her in hot water in Britain. 'These are three American words I've discovered you should not be using in the UK, and what to use instead,' she said at the start of the clip. Introducing the first word, which she prefaced was the 'most PG' one was 'pants', typically referring to trousers in the States, but more commonly used to describe undergarments in a British context. 'In the US, it's a more general word for trousers, so it can be used in terms of tracksuit bottoms, jeans, slacks, khakis, anything that's a long version of a trouser,' she explained. 'But in the UK, it generally refers to men's boxers, so if you say 'Oh, I like your pants,' they'll take that as you can see my underwear, and you like my underwear'. Though, some in the comments disputed the claim that Brits don't refer to pants as trousers. 'Pants mean trousers in the north of the UK,' one wrote, while another pointed to a third meaning, when pants is used derogatorily. 'Pants can also mean something is rubbish. eg this film is pants,' the linguaphile wrote. Second on the list, and one which Devin said was 'a little spicier', was a phrase used by Americans to describe a bum bag - or as the they refer to it, a 'fanny pack'. 'In the UK the term is bum bang,' she retorted, explaining that 'fanny in the UK refers to a woman's genitalia'. 'Although, now they're more popular, you can usually get away with using the word fanny pack in the UK,' she added. Third and final on the list was one term that she discovered through 'trial and error' in the UK, and one which is perfectly normal when expressed in the States. 'Its the term that Americans use when you're holding two drinks at the bar or party or something and that is ... You're 'double fisting',' the TikToker explained sheepishly. British viewers were in stitches after hearing of Devin's dialectal blunders, with many expressing themselves in the comments 'Obviously it means something way dirtier in the UK and you should not use it, that's not the term. 'The term they do use is 'double parked',' she said, referring to the phrase commonly used to refer to an individual who has two drinks at the same time. 'Now of course, there's lots of other words that English and American people use differently but these are a little bit spicy that you could get yourself in a bit of trouble if you say them in the UK,' she concluded. British viewers were in stitches after hearing of Devin's dialectal blunders, with many expressing themselves in the comments. 'We say what we want in UK,' one joked. 'Definitely thought you were going to say the whole rubber/eraser thing! But yeah, double fisting doesn't sound great to a British ear,' said another 'Holding 2 drinks is Irish handcuffs,' a third said. Amused by what they'd discovered, one Brit wrote: 'I think it was a world record. How far I spat my coffee when you said double fisting.' 'May I thank you for causing me to spray a perfectly good mouthful of red wine across my keyboard and desk with your third one,' another joked. A fellow America sympathised with the linguistic faux pas, writing that she had made a similar mistake while travelling. 'My Europe hostel group have multiple chats called 'double fisters' now because they were so shocked by it but ended up using the phrase the whole rest of the trip because they loved it so much,' she said. Pointing out that pants had multiple meanings, another viewer wrote: 'Pants are underwear, not just boxers. Like when they say to girls, 'he just wants to get into your pants'.'

Sabrina Carpenter reveals Man's Best Friend album art 'approved by God' after outcry
Sabrina Carpenter has revealed alternative artwork "approved by God" for her new album after the original cover sparked controversy. Earlier in June, the Espresso singer shared art for her album, Man's Best Friend, which shows her on her hands and knees in a black minidress with a suited man grabbing her photo prompted a heated debate, with some arguing that it pandered to the male gaze and promoted misogynistic Wednesday, the pop princess posted two less contentious black-and-white images of herself holding a suited man's arm, with the caption: "Here is a new alternate cover approved by God." Users responding to Carpenter's post on Instagram included fellow pop star Katy Perry, who simply replied: "Gahahahaha." Those criticising the initial artwork included Glasgow Women's Aid, a charity supporting victims of domestic abuse, which said it was "regressive" and "promotes an element of violence and control".Not everyone was against it, and some defended the singer, explaining that the image was satirical."There's a deeper meaning, portraying how the public views her, believing she is just for the male gaze," a fan wrote on Heather Binning of Women's Rights Network, told the BBC that violence against women should "never be used as satire".Many of Carpenter's fans are young women, and Ms Binning said the imagery "grooms girls to believe that it is a fun, casual, sexy thing to submit to men's sexual (sometimes sexually violent) desires". On social media, some also criticised Carpenter for the timing, suggesting the image was not appropriate given the current political climate in the US."Women's control over their bodies are being taken away in the US and this is kind of insensitive," one user wrote on Instagram. 'Sell her brand' Professor Catherine Rottenberg from Goldsmiths University of London said that regardless of how the artwork should be interpreted, Carpenter was "fanning the flames of controversy in order to sell her brand". "Debates around representation that this album has already generated will likely mean more sales, more popularity, and more traction," she told the is not the first time the 26-year-old's music has sparked an has built her brand around fun and risque pop music, and her sexual lyrics, X-rated ad-lib Nonsense outros and provocative performances regularly cause a the Brit Awards in March, media watchdog Ofcom received 825 complaints, with the majority involving Carpenter's pre-watershed opening performance that saw her wearing a red sparkly military-style mini-dress with matching stockings and was also seen having a close encounter with a dancer dressed as a soldier wearing a bearskin hat during the show, which was broadcast live on Ford, a culture critic, previously told the BBC that Carpenter is "in on the joke" when she performs. "Sabrina is being unabashedly horny in her music and it feels like an embrace of fun and silliness and not taking things too seriously."Man's Best Friend is Carpenter's seventh studio album and will be released on 29 August.

Fifa hikes Club World Cup ticket prices as re-sale sites hit £5,000
Tickets for Club World Cup group games are being sold for as much as $1,707 (£1,251) because Fifa are using a controversial 'adaptive pricing' model based on supply and demand in which they can rise dramatically. The prices rocket even further on re-sale sites with the best seats for Real Madrid's final group game against FC Salzburg in Philadelphia in the early hours of Friday being offered for an incredible $6,091 (£4,464) by StubHub on Wednesday. On Tuesday, the prices were even higher – going for as much as $8,000 (£5,864). Fifa claim that tickets are available through their website – and are advertised as such on posters in the US – but those have already been sold and anyone wanting to buy is directed to Ticketmaster who are the official partners. Ticketmaster also has pre-existing partnerships with most of the 12 stadiums being used for the Club World Cup. The US-based company notoriously uses 'dynamic pricing' whereby prices fluctuate based on demand so that sellers and event organisers can maximise revenue. An 'important event info' message on Ticketmaster's website for Club World Cup sales says: 'Please note that ticket prices may change from day to day due to fluctuating market conditions.' Fifa's argument is that the prices go down as well as up – and also that tickets for the Madrid game are still available on Ticketmaster for 'only' $169 (£124) in the 67,594-capacity Lincoln Financial Field stadium which is expected to sell out. The issue for Fifa, it says, is that re-sale sites are allowed to buy up tickets under US law and as this tournament is being held in America they are under that country's jurisdiction. Fifa claims it cannot stop it from happening but it is its choice to partner with Ticketmaster. It also points out that there have been allocations of tickets available to participating clubs, at lower prices, but was unable to say how many they had been given. 'Adaptive pricing', which is being used throughout the tournament, is slightly different from so-called 'dynamic pricing' because the prices are not using a semi-automated system. The most expensive tickets available through Ticketmaster for the final at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 13 are $3,209 (£2,352) with the cheapest available for $718 (£526) at present. Fifa has defended its approach but it leaves itself open to criticism that it is trying to maximise revenue from fans. Typically for major tournaments such as the World Cup, Fifa sets fixed prices and sells tickets via its own online portals. But it claims it is not allowed to limit that under US law. Tickets to matches at the last World Cup in Qatar cost an average of £286 – the most expensive ever – but are expected to be considerably higher next year when 75 per cent of games will be played in the US. A Fifa spokesperson said: 'In accordance with local market practices and regulations, and as reflected in the Ticketing General Terms and Conditions, variable pricing has been implemented for general public ticket sales for all matches in the competition since the start of the ticket sales in late 2024. This means that ticket prices have been and will continue to be adjusted based on demand and availability for each match.'
