Jake Paul will face NBA star Nate Robinson in the undercard of Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. on November 28. Meanwhile, Garcia will fight Luke Campbell for the WBC interim lightweight title in November. However, it still did not stop them from going against each other on Twitter.
Ryan Garcia Says he will face Jake Paul
As Garcia offered himself to go against Jake Paul, the latter turned it down by adding some humor to the tale. Paul (1-0) is a new face in professional boxing and hasn’t faced a single professional elite yet. But when Garcia expressed his interest in facing him, Jake Paul mocked the WBC champion.
In response to Garcia’s callout, Jake Paul said that it is too early for the world champion’s first loss. Now, Ryan Garcia has competed in 20 professional fights, winning all of them. Thus, Jake Paul’s mockery has vexed the 22-year-old.
Garcia followed with a string of tweets and sent a stern warning to the YouTuber turned boxer. “If he dies, he dies,” wrote ‘King Ryan’. Thus, it is safe to state that Garcia won’t hesitate to land fatal shots on Jake Paul if the duo ever collides inside the ring. However, nothing like that is going to happen soon.
