Jake Paul has grown tremendously in the combat sports universe in the past year. Paul came into the limelight by calling out biggies like Conor McGregor and more after his win over Nate Robinson. Slowly and steadily, he also shifted his radar to boxing greats like Floyd Mayweather.
‘The Problem Child’ stayed assertive about fighting ‘TBE’ many times. In fact, Mayweather too seemed open to fighting the YouTuber. However, for the past few months, the undefeated boxing legend hasn’t quite opened up on facing the Ohio native on the professional front or on the exhibition basis.
