The spotlight this week remains on Jake Paul. As he prepares to take on his next big challenge, he also made a point to let all the other players who’ve dropped their names in the hat know where he stands with them. Yes, all the big names!

On March 2nd, ‘Problem Child’, in an attempt to move past his ‘ influencer-boxer’  tag, will take on his second professional-boxer, opponent, Ryan Bourland. The San Juan, Puerto Rico fight is  a crescendo, around which names like Indian fame, Neeraj Goyat, NFL player, Tyreek Hill, and his former opponent, Tommy Fury revolve. To “all these guys,” who “yap yap yap,” as Paul put it, he has a collective answer.

In the Fully Tilted Podcast, Miami Dolphins player, Tyreek Hill challenged 8-1, Paul for a fight. He mentioned that he’s thinking about fighting in the UFC, and remains keen to discuss the details of it with President, Dana White. The 2020 Super Bowl Champion further noted that he would like his first clash to be against someone like Jake Paul. As these words picked momentum on the internet, Jake Paul on his X, addressed them. He wrote, “Tyreke – you would get mauled in the ring by me. Lion kills a cheetah every time in a small space. No where to run. Come on brother.” Next? He verbally took on 32-year-old, Goyat.

Last week, Olympian, Neeraj Goyat declared that he will make the trip to Puerto Rico, where Paul resides, to face off against him. Now, Goyat on his Instagram, further updated that he’s reached Puerto Rico. Paul on other hand, gave his address to the former, fueling this fire. Now, in his collective response to all his challengers, he wrote to Goyat, “Neeraj – brave for coming to PR all the way from India. But you too small brother. 1 hand is all I need.” 

Last year, Tommy Fury gave Paul, his career’s first loss. To emerge from those shambles, the former, 27-year-old, has offered Fury a two-way fight, lucrative to its core. PFL founder, Donn Davis confirmed that Paul’s team has offered Fury a boxing rematch, coupled with a debut in MMA for $15-20 million. Now, Problem Child has further doubled down on his offer. He continued, “Tommy – you been running for a year now. I’m ready anytime. Offered you 8 figures. You and daddy think it’s worth more…ok bring me the money.”

Jake Paul’s response to these fighters might just be the tip of the iceberg. Deep down, there remains something brewing. Perhaps, a fight in India, where Paul enjoys a massive fan base?

Goyat and Paul confront each other in person

Fresh in. Visuals of a physical altercation between Paul and and Chandigargh-based Goyat have emerged on the internet. Reportedly, the two met outside of Paul’s gym. In the video, Amanda Serrano, who is slated to compete against Nina Meinke on the 2nd March card, can be seen trying to separate the two men, embroiled in a brawl.
