Eric ‘Butterbean’ Esch claims he is very nearly a boxing rebound nine years after hanging up the gloves – and he has burned through no time in getting down on Jake Paul.

Butterbean, who once weighed in at a surprising 417lbs in front of a 2007 clash against Joe Siciliano, enjoyed great popularity throughout his 91-fight career, winning 77 of those experiences and 58 by knockout.

What’s more, in front of his return, he has drawn the glove to YouTuber-turned-fighter Paul for a possible standoff.

‘I’m working with DDP to get up walking and running around again and I’m feeling the best shape I ever have,’ he said on social media.

‘I’m at fight weight. You’ll have to listen to my podcast coming up to find exactly how much weight I have lost, but I haven’t weighed this in over 20 years so that’ll give you an idea.

‘The big announcement is I’m gonna fight one last fight. It’s gonna be one year from now. Jake Paul, if you’re ready, I’m here for you my friend. Let’s get it on, me and you Jake Paul.

‘I bet it would be an awesome fight. After you said what you said about me in the magazine, I’m ready to fight you. Are you ready? I don’t think so.’

The Gypsy King dominated his challenger from the start and finished the fight with a massive punch from which he could not recover.

As they approached the halfway point, the Fury was firmly in control as the Whyte struggled to get to grips with him and seemingly hadn’t won a single round thus far.

Then, just before the end of round six, Fury landed a huge right uppercut which sent Whyte toppling to the canvas.

He rose to his feet, but could not recover and fight on.

“I wasn’t looking to win on points tonight, I wanted a big dirty knockout.In reaction, Fury told talkSPORT

“I found a beautiful uppercut and that was it.

“I’ve been in this game 20 years, I’m 34 in a few months. I said the third Wilder fight would be my last but I felt I owed the fans one last homecoming.

“This is definitely the end of the Gypsy King and I went out with a bang.

“Tonight was amazing but this is the end.”
