Is Jake Paul dodging real competition by targeting 'senior citizens' for his next boxing match?

Bring in Joe Biden. It’s Jake Paul vs. the outgoing POTUS. It doesn’t get better than this. But it’s nothing but a jibe at critics. The Problem Child has built an infamous reputation for fighting boxers on a declining trajectory among fans, and his fight with Mike Tyson did him no good. But he is all about money and business, and you can’t beat him at his game. So, when the criticizing voices went higher, he blocked those with a unique hit back.

Paul, 27, is the hottest property in combat sports after his fight with Mike Tyson shattered many records, including the $18 million gate, the number of households streaming the events, and more. Now, his socials are filled with call-outs from the likes of Daniel Dubois and Artur Beterbiev. But Paul, at 11-1, wants a “senior citizen” next.

‘Problem Child’ sat down with Logan Paul at the IMPAULSIVE podcast and discussed many themes, ranging from the recently concluded Paul vs. Tyson event and the future layout of his boxing career. So the WWE superstar also dished out the important question: who was his brother fighting next? But the younger of the Paul brothers took this as an opportunity to take a dig at his critics and hilariously declared, “I’m fighting Joe Biden, any senior citizen.”

The Cleveland native then continued, “Anybody. They have to have Dementia or Parkinson’s. And they have to have the wheelchair thing or the handicap parking thing. If they don’t have that, I can’t fight them.” Riding on the joke train, Logan, 29, suggested they could visit an old age home down the road. Joining the hilarious rhetoric, Jake added, “The Paul brothers ravage Dallas retirement center.”

Talking of old opponents, the conservation soon switched gears. The host then asked whether the fans would get the coveted KSI vs. Paul fight, as the British YouTuber had touched the ‘old’ threshold. It seems the former Disney star is finally mellowing down on his stance.

Jake Paul finally agrees to the KSI fight

Paul welcomed the fight suggestion and jokingly admitted, “He [KSI] fits, he fits, and he’s retired. So there’s a chance. He’s a retired boxer. Like he doesn’t actually box. So it fits.”

Have an interesting take?

Interestingly, Logan Paul and KSI share a close bond, even co-owning Prime Hydration together. He has tried to persuade his younger brother and friend to resolve their long rivalry. It hasn’t happened yet. Why?

He believes it comes down to both fighters’ management’s ego, as they manage MVP and Misfits, and there could be a tussle there. Logan announced, “Both of your managements, who have egos, need to stop blocking the deal. Because they don’t like each other.” But if KSI waits for a couple more years, he will naturally fit into Jake’s comical fit for opponents. Will it happen? No one is sure.
