Jake Paul had a phenomenal 2021 as he amassed huge fame and attention with his in-ring activities. ‘The Problem Child’ scored some blistering wins, and he also ended up in some controversies. On top of this, he even engaged in a brawl with boxing great Floyd Mayweather in mid-2021.

Subsequently, rumors of a fight surfaced all over. However, nothing was officially confirmed. As the sport of boxing is witnessing an era of exhibitions, many casuals wish to see ‘Pretty Boy’ take on ‘The Problem Child’.
