Exclusive interview🎙️: Tomorrow night YouTuber @LoganPaul, ‘the internet’s biggest idiot’, takes on the undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. Does he know what’s about to hit him? thetimes.co.uk/article/logan-…

Although Paul has promised to “decapitate” Mayweather in the first round, much of the hype is now around how seriously the veteran intends to hurt him. Doesn’t Paul worry that things might go extremely south in the latest fight?

“Oh, they absolutely can… or they can go extremely north and I can solidify myself as one of the greatest upsets in sports history.”

“I think fighting an emotional, angry Floyd will be better than fighting a calm, collected, strategic Floyd. Part of our shtick is being able to get under people’s skin. We can just annoy people if we snap our fingers."

Paul is trolled relentlessly but says this doesn’t bother him. “The internet is a nasty place. You have to have some thick skin to be able to survive. And I’m open to feedback on my character.”

He doesn't have a plan for the future. “I’m just a master of rolling with the punches.” But when comedian Tim Dillon floated the idea that Logan Paul - with his millions of dollars and millions of fans - could one day run for president, he tweeted: “I’ll do it.”

Is he serious? “I’m not kidding. If I’m sitting around and I have a feeling one day that I could lead the country in a very impactful, positive way, I could see myself doing it.”

What would he do for America? “No idea. But I would lead with authenticity"

But right now all his focus is on tomorrow night’s fight: “I have one mission - to work my ass off to beat Floyd Mayweather."

“I expect it to be hell on earth when I enter that ring. I expect to come out bloodied, beaten… and victorious.”

Paul's moral compass — or lack of one — has been called into question on a number of occasions in the past.

Of his early videos, Paul says: "I was on a rampage, to say the least. Fame, money, followers. Nothing else mattered." thetimes.co.uk/article/63a31d…

In a rare interview, British producer @benwinston explains how the long-awaited #FriendsReunion came together. thetimes.co.uk/article/meet-b…

The idea of a Friends reunion had been mooted for years but was usually dismissed as impractical (the six cast members have only once all been in the same room together over the 17 years since the show ended).

Besides, nobody had come up with an idea that made the creators and cast want to commit.

Then Winston made his pitch.

A grandmother whose family has been torn apart by tragedy believes the end of lockdown will lead to a surge in violent crime. thetimes.co.uk/article/my-bab…

“I know there’s going to be some kind of [adverse] reaction,” says Lillian Serunkuma. “Look at the last time when the lockdown finished. The next day my grandson and daughter were shot.”

She is concerned about youths who have fallen behind with their education: “You’re going to get more kids without any qualifications,” Serunkuma says.

“For me, whenever there’s nothing to do, they’ll find something else to fill the space.”

Exclusive: @thesundaytimes speaks to @MarcusRashford and @ChefTomKerridge about their campaign to teach families how to cook. thetimes.co.uk/article/get-co…

On Thursday Rashford and Kerridge revealed their plans for a series of cookery-demonstration videos on Instagram and recipe cards in supermarkets that aims to reach more than 4.2 million children living in poverty and give them the confidence to cook.

@MarcusRashford

“I wish someone had given me a kick to get involved [in cooking] even just a couple of years ago. Cooking is definitely a skill I needed in my adult life, I just hadn’t prioritised it,” says @MarcusRashford.

“Alzheimer’s is a wicked, debilitating process, but we’re going through that together. She doesn’t forget me. She forgets everything else but not me.”

Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten talks about quitting hellraising to become a full-time carer for his wife. thetimes.co.uk/article/sex-pi…

In the 1970s he was the frontman of the Sex Pistols and the angry face of punk rock. His hard-edged songs, including Anarchy in the UK, full of rage and nihilism, chimed with unemployment and industrial unrest in run-down Britain and attracted an army of safety-pin-pierced fans.

Today Johnny Rotten is John Lydon, now 65, holding together a pair of broken spectacles.

His daily routine is as far from anarchy as he can manage. His wife, Nora Forster, suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and needs orderliness and calm, he says.
