Koepka is a highly regarded golf player. In 2018, he became the world’s number-one golf player after winning the CJ Cup. Needless to say, he is one of the best golf players out there. However, he does not wish to confine himself to golf. In an episode of Paul’s podcast, ‘B/S with Jake Paul,’ the younger Paul brother asked Koepka if he would be interested in making his boxing debut. In response, he vehemently asserted he would want it only to face his old rival, Bryson Dechambeau.
If you follow golf, you would know about the feud between Koepka and Dechambeau. Since 2019, both athletes have been taking shots at each other verbally. With time, the hostility has escalated and at one point, both of them even made certain personal remarks.
Although it appeared that their beef was quashed, Koepka still has a vehement desire to dish it out in the ring with him. During the podcast, Paul asked him, “Who’s like one of the guys like you sort of have beef with?” To which he responded, stating, “I had the big thing with Bryson.”

In a boxing match?” While responding in the affirmative again, Keopka was curious to know if the young CEO would want to be a part of their potential fight in the capacity of a promoter. Keopka asked, “Yea, you going to promote it?” to which Paul replied, “I’ll put a million-dollar purse up for it.”
