Jake Paul recently shook the world with his performance against Andre August, defeating the professional boxer with a powerful right uppercut in the very first round of their match-up. Jake Paul has set his eyes on winning a world championship title and has decided to stick to fighting purely professional boxers. As of now, he is set to fight on March 24. However, he isn’t the one headlining the event. So who is?
‘The Problem Child’ plays another role as a boxing promoter and is a manager to the unified featherweight champion Amanda Serrano. According to the latest buzz, he has another event lined up in March at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan. Even though he will be fighting, surprisingly, the main card of the event will feature the Puerto Rican champion Serrano, who will be going up against Nina Meinke. However, the question remains: who is going to be Jake Paul’s opponent? One professional boxer and former champion has just thrown in the gauntlet.

Soon, the former WBA (Regular) super-middleweight champion, Rocky Fielding, wrote back, challenging the Problem Child to a fight. “Me V You. No pay for me just want to flatteren you an get this YouTube shite to fu*k,” wrote Fielding. The former champion, who previously lost against Canelo Álvarez back in 2018, took the chance to challenge Paul. The Liverpool native boasts an impressive record of 30 wins and 3 losses. If this does materialize, Fielding would be the most decorated boxer to ever fight Jake Paul.
However, it remains to be seen if Paul will respond to the call-out or go for someone more suited to his speed. As the fight was announced, here’s what the featherweight champion, Amanda Serrano, had to say about the event and Jake Paul.

INSANE is an understatement
I’m in cloud 9! To have my Manager @jakepaul be my CoMain is so humbling I’ve literally cried. He’s nothing near what ppl say & I get to live and experience it time & time again.
