It will be the YouTuber-turned prizefighter’s first opponent with a recognised professional boxing record in his 6-0 career.
But Rockhold – who left the UFC this year – blasted 23-year-old Fury’s boxing ability and predicted Paul to win the Saudi Arabia fight.
He told InsideFighting: “You gotta have a dog in you. He ain’t got no dog in him. I’ve watched him fight. He doesn’t even finish his punches.
“You know, he has no commitment to finishing it. He’s a show. He’s a show fighter. And I got Jake.
“And I don’t even think Jake has that much, like, he has commitment, at least. He doesn’t have patience.
“He doesn’t have that f***ing mentality when he gets in the game, I think he’s blinded. He’s got that deer in the headlights, but at least he throws.”
Paul, 26, beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in his last fight in October, his biggest win to date.
But Rockhold, 38, mocked the victory and called to fight the American after mutually parting with the UFC.
He said to TMZ: “Stop trying to fight little dudes. F***ing [155] pounders. You’re a middleweight.
“If you want to fight a middleweight, I got hands. We can do anything we want. I really don’t care. I’d beat that guy in my sleep.”
“I got some freedom to do some things and as you can see, I like throwing hands these days.
“Fight people your own f***ing weight. Straight up. And champions, a real champion, a real contender.
“A real someone who can put you on your ass. not old guys, 55-year-olds, or lightweights.
“You can’t even get above a welterweight, dog, So, step up.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require more strength than others. For example, an uppercut is a powerful punch. A straight punch, on the other hand requires less power and is quicker than other punches.
There are many combinations that can be used to punch. These are combinations made up of several punches that can be used together to achieve one goal. An entire combination could have several parts. A combination may include multiple parts. For example, damage to the jaw of an opponent can be caused by a left hook and a right cross.
Guard Techniques
A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does this using his legs and arms, elbows as well as hands, knees and feet.
Legs
A boxer must use his legs to defend against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. But if the attack comes in the back, he will stand straight and block the kick using his foot.
Elbows
Because they inflict pain, elbow strikes can be very effective. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. Directly means you hit your opponent directly with your forearm. While indirectly, it means you hit him with another section of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use the power of their hands to block any incoming blows. To do this, they raise their fists higher than their heads and move their arms in the direction that the attack is coming. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.
Knees
To absorb the impact of a punch to the stomach, abdomen, or chest, boxers should bend their knees. Knee strikes can be used to defend yourself.
Feet
When attacked, a boxer should step back and deliver counter-attacks. He can then gain distance from his opponent. Also, boxers must maintain their balance while delivering counter-attacks.
Stances
To box effectively, a boxer must establish a stance. His stance determines how he defends himself. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. Boxers have many options for stances. Here are some of the more popular ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Move your body
In order to win a fight, a boxer must move around his opponent. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.
Rotation
Boxers rotate their arms when they throw a punch. Different types of punches require different speeds for the rotation.
Combinations
The timing of each individual punch affects the effectiveness or failure of a combination. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.
Spare parts
Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. Sparring allows a boxer to improve his mental and physical skills. Sparring, in conclusion, is about learning how to fight and not getting hurt.
It is important to be patient and dedicated when learning how to box. Boxing is a sport that requires dedication and perseverance.
