"I'm in his right age wheelhouse, I'm 60 years old with zero professional boxing experience, so I'm pretty much his perfect target for his next fight.
"I think we should suggest a double header - you have the re-match with Logan, which would be the real fight between two proper fighters.
"I will take on Jake Paul, in a pay-per-view to end all pay-per-views.
"I fancy my chances, I honestly would."

He posted: "You and me Jake Paul - any time, any place.

He added: "I think Logan is a better boxer than him, I've been through my s**t after losing to Logan.

Tiny English village that inspired the world's longest running soap opera is home to cosy historic pub and country walks
Plus, inside the English village that inspired one of UK's top TV soaps DRINK IT IN Tiny English village that inspired the world's longest running soap opera is home to cosy historic pub and country walks Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DUE to celebrate 75 years on air in January, The Archers is widely believed to be based on a tiny village in the middle of the English countryside. Inkberrow in Worcestershire is thought to be the inspiration behind the fictional village of Ambridge, from the world's longest running soap opera. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Inkberrow located in Worcestershire is believed to have inspired the radio show The Archers Credit: Alamy In particular, the pub - with the real village's pub called The Old Bull. Godfrey Baseley - the creator and editor of The Archers - used to live locally, according to the landlord at The Old Bull. Inside, the pub boasts a lot of memorabilia from the BBC Radio 4 programme, including signed pictures of the cast and scripts. The pub itself is a 16th Century inn and serves up traditional English pub grub. The interior features exposed wood beams, snug fireplaces and a traditional cosy feel too. It is also said to have once been a stop-off point for William Shakespeare when he was travelling to Worcester to collect his marriage licence to Anne Hathaway. Nearby is also the Inkberrow Millennium Green, just past the 13th century St Peter's Church with a medieval moat. Elsewhere in the village is another pub called The Bull's Head, along with a shop, a primary school and a village hall. Meanwhile, in the fields surrounding the village, visitors will find the Inkberrow tower, which was built in 1996. However, it is no historic watch tower or countryside chapel - instead it is a phone base station for the mobile network, Orange. Holiday Park in UK village that looks like Greece 3 And in the village is a pub with lots of Archers memorabilia Credit: Alamy Around a 15-minute drive from Inkberrow, you can find Hanbury Hall - another spot believed to be used in some of the Archers' 20,000 episodes. The National Trust-owned property is believed to be the inspiration for Lower Loxley Hall from the show, which is the stately home of characters Nigel and Elizabeth Paragetter. The real Hanbury Hall features 19th-century gardens and large wall paintings from artist James Thornhill. Close to the hall is the church of St Mary the Virgin, which is believed to be the basis of St Stephen's church in Ambridge. Recordings of the church bells have been used in many Archers episodes. At the edge of the village is Morton Hall Gardens, which features a range of plants and an expansive meadow. Inside the English village that inspired one of UK's top TV soaps ANOTHER English village is the inspiration behind the hit series Emmerdale. Esholt, a quaint English village near Bradford, was the original filming location for the popular soap opera Emmerdale from the 1970s to the 1990s. The village still attracts fans who want to see the real-life inspirations behind the show, even though the production moved years ago. The local pub, originally called The Commercial, was permanently renamed The Woolpack because the owner grew tired of constantly changing the sign for filming. Other real locations included Home Farm, a centuries-old estate, and a row of cottages on Bunkers Hill that served as Demdyke Row. The show's departure was prompted by its increasing popularity, as noise from crowds of tourists made filming difficult. In 1997, the crew built a replica of the village on the Harewood Estate, which they still use today. Although Esholt is a quiet village, it is a short drive from the cities of Leeds and Bradford. It is also near Shipley, a UNESCO World Heritage site with historic mills and a scenic cable tramway. There are also six holiday homes from TV shows and films that you can stay at in the UK… with game rooms and hot tubs. Plus, five filming locations in the UK you can visit with movie tours, quaint villages and £49 stays.

Moses Itauma, 20, so calm and calculated even Mike Tyson wouldn't scare him, says Frank Warren
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FRANK WARREN reckons Moses Itauma is so calm and calculated that even the Planet's Baddest Man might struggle to scare him. At just 20 years old - with only 20 amateur and 12 entry-level pro bouts to his name - the Kent heavyweight faces 37-year-old brute Dillian Whyte tonight. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Moses Itauma will look to continue his surge up the heavyweight division against Dilian Whyte Credit: SNS 5 The Chatham clubber has exuded nothing but confidence throughout fight week Credit: GETTY 5 Promoter Frank Warren has been amazed by Itauma's composure and poise Credit: Reuters 5 Warren reckons a prime Mike Tyson would struggle to intimidate Itauma But at Thursday's weigh-in, Itauma ditched the kid gloves and dared the vicious veteran to remove his sunglasses so their stare-off could get intimate. Whyte warned the wonderkid to keep cool but later told talkSPORT that - if provoked - he could 'f*** up' the whole Itauma team. But Warren, who was famously left with an injured eye after a 2000 altercation with Mike Tyson, says nothing fazes his ice-cool prospect. The 73-year-old Hall-of-Famer told SunSport: 'Mike Tyson, in the early days, won 90 per cent of his fights outside the ring. "The intimidation was unbelievable. I mean, he really intimidated people. 'Most of the American heavyweight guys back then were from the streets but that's what he managed to do with a lot of them. 'There were a rare couple of fighters he couldn't intimidate, like Buster Douglas. "And he couldn't intimidate Evander Holyfield in any way, shape or form.

Whyte has been involved in wild wars - verbally and physically, inside and outside of the ropes - with the likes of Anthony Joshua and Derek Chisora. Moses Itauma leaves sports psychologist baffled as he reveals boxing is his 'drug' ahead of Dillian Whyte fight But the howling heavyweight has played the quiet little lamb this week in Saudi Arabia. It looks like he is trying to lure the youngster into a false sense of security - before pouncing. But the Queensberry kingpin has total faith in his wonderkid-turned-man being the wolf in sheep's clothing. 'Everybody's trying to get the edge," he explained to us. "That's the way it is. 'Moses is a young guy, 20 years old, this is a bit of a new experience for him. "But he handled himself very well.

Myleene Klass's wildest moments from bombshell cheating allegations to knife showdown at home
There is more to Myleene's life that some fans might not know DIFFERENT KLASS Myleene Klass's wildest moments from bombshell cheating allegations to knife showdown at home MYLEENE Klass burst onto the scene in 2001, as a fresh-faced singer hoping to find fame. More than two decades later the star has remained in the spotlight, and recently hit the headlines over her alleged feud with two fellow noughties stars, plus some bombshell cheating claims. 9 Myleene Klass has been involved in some headline grabbing moments over the years Credit: David Dyson 9 The TV star recently claimed her ex-husband cheated on her Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 9 Myleene, shot to fame in the pop band Hear'Say nearly 25 years ago Credit: Alamy Myleene was in her early twenties when she burst onto the scene on the ITV talent show, Popstars. Alongside stars like Kym Marsh, she was chosen to be in the pop group Hear'Say. After popping out a few hits like Pure and Simple and The Way To Your Love, the band parted ways but Myleene wasn't going anywhere. Since then she has carved out a career as a classical music artist, a radio presenter, and reality star. However, over the years it has not always been smooth sailing for Ms Klass and she has had her fair share of headline grabbing wild moments - which we are here to spill... THAT BIKINI Let's kick off with THAT bikini - we all know the one. Myleene reached a whole new fanbase in 2006 when she headed into the Aussie jungle for I'm A Celebrity. She wasted no time in turning up the heat when she took to the jungle shower and stripped off to a white bikini. It's fair to say viewers went wild for her shower antics, and it has gone down in history as one of I'm A Celeb's most iconic moments. "I wouldn't go as far to say I regret it, I don't think about it too much as to where it's gone," she laughed when speaking to The Sun about her famous white bikini in 2023. Explosive twist in Myleene's feud with Rochelle as it's revealed Saturday's singer gave her ex place to stay after split However, it has since been revealed the white bikini moment that put Myleene on the map almost didn't happen. Speaking in 2020 on social media, she revealed: "I remember one of the show producers looking at my bikinis in the hotel before I went to camp,. "One was covered in stripes, 'We'll have to stop at the shops as that's probably going to strobe on camera'. 9 This white bikini won Myleene a whole new army of fans Credit: Rex Features "I ran into the shop en route to the jungle, asked the shop assistant for the plainest bikini she had." Myleene later auctioned off the bikini for charity where it fetched £7,500. "Best $40 I ever spent… especially as it raised so much for charity afterwards," the singer added. SHOWDOWN WITH KNIFEMAN Back in 2010, Myleene shocked fans when it was revealed she had brandished a knife at youths who had entered the back garden of her home. The star was in the kitchen when she spotted the teenagers and grabbed a knife and banged on the windows in an effort to get them to leave. But after reporting the incident to police, she claimed that officers told her that brandishing an "offensive weapon" was illegal. However, a Hertfordshire Police spokeswoman said that "at no point" were any warnings given. 9 Myleene once brandished a knife at youths who invaded her garden Credit: Rex Speaking to the BBC at the time about what happened, she said: "It was a scary incident but I've got no regrets as to how I reacted. I think I did what any other mother would do. "This is my house and that's my daughter up there and I will do anything to protect my daughter and my family. That's what I did." A statement from Hertfordshire police said: "Officers spoke to reassure the home owner, talked through security and gave advice in relation to the importance of reporting suspicious activity immediately to allow officers to act appropriately." It added: "For clarification, at no point were any official warnings or words of advice given to the home owner in relation to the use of a knife or offensive weapon in their home." 9 Myleene was once allegedly propositioned by shamed Harvey Weinstein HARVEY WEINSTEIN CLAIM In 2017, The Sun revealed how shamed movie mogul Harvey Weinstein allegedly propositioned Myleene with a "sex contract". The disgusted TV presenter, then immediately declined the offer, telling Weinstein to "f*** off" during a film festival lunch at Cannes in 2010. The now convicted sex offender is claimed to have assumed the TV presenter would sleep with him but wanted to silence her with a 'confidentiality agreement'. Instead Myleene fled their lunch meeting at a restaurant in Cannes feeling 'disgusted and angry'. A friend of the star told us she believed she had been there to discuss work. They went on: 'She thought his intentions were genuine. " But as soon as she found out what he really wanted, she told him to f*** off.' 9 Myleene seen here with her ex-husband Graham Quinn Credit: Alamy CHEATING BOMBSHELL Myleene recently dropped the ultimate bombshell when she revealed the moment she "caught her ex husband Graham Quinn cheating on her with another celebrity". She claimed she walked in on her ex and a famous woman in the industry "unzipping" each other's clothes. Myleene said the heartbreaking moment happened in her home at her own birthday party while she and Graham were in a relationship. The singer, who did not name the mystery woman, said that while her life had "broken down in public", the woman he allegedly cheated with was continuing to "build a family brand". Speaking on We Need To Talk podcast, Myleene said: "I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony. "I've made peace with that situation now but for a long time it was very difficult to see their life… not that I would wish that on a family. "I don't know, I feel conflicted. 9 The star recently claimed her ex-husband Graham Quinn cheated on her Credit: X "But my life literally just broke apart very, very publicly. "And their life, they've managed to continue building a family brand on it and it felt so difficult for a long time. This is the person I caught him with." She continued: "It was in my house, it was my party. They weren't having sex but they were unzipping each other. 'It's not what you think,' but it is what I think. It's the first thing they both said. "I kicked everybody out of the party including his mum and dad. "They went back to Ireland. And his dad said, 'He doesn't get it from me.' I was like, OK, I just remember that being quite a weird thing to say." A week after her bombshell infinitely claims, Myleene doubled down and warned: 'I have the receipts.' However, Graham, with whom she shares two daughters, has since clapped back. Last weekend, fiends of the former bodyguard have suggested Myleene is a "vindictive bully." A source told MailOnline: "He thinks she's a bully. "They believe it was especially 'vindictive and calculated' of Myleene to launch the bombshell broadside on what she would have known was the week of Graham's 51st birthday." 9 Myleene is reportedly embroiled in a feud with Frankie Bridge and Rochelle Humes Credit: Getty SHOWBIZ FEUD Over the last week, details of Myleene's feud with fellow ITV stars Rochelle Humes and Frankie Bridge have emerged. It followed hot on the heels of her accusations about her ex-husband - who once counted the two Saturdays stars as his clients. Pals told The Sun that Myleene's claims about Graham, have caused simmering tension between her, Rochelle and Frankie, who all work at ITV. Shortly after the former Hear'Say star dropped the cheating bombshell, Frankie then posted a cryptic video, which said that somebody was 'dead to me'. This Morning star Rochelle then shared a cosy snap with Graham, along with her hubby Marvin Humes — another of his ex-clients. In a further twist, sources claim that Rochelle gave Myleene's ex a place to stay when she dumped him. A source told The Sun: 'Rochelle was doing what she saw as looking out for a friend in a time of need. 'Rochelle and Marvin are still clearly very much friends with Graham. "Myleene is of the view that Rochelle took sides from the beginning of her marriage breakdown. "The fact Rochelle and Graham's friendship is still there after all these years has put an everlasting rift between Myleene and Rochelle. 'They both do everything in their power to avoid each other.' The three women are yet to publicly confirm or deny the feud.
