Jake Paul reacted with happiness on social media about being called out by undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev, viewing it as validation of his standing in the sport after his win over 58-year-old Mike Tyson last Friday night on Netflix. Jake’s viewpoint on his impact on the sport shows he’s in the dark about his true standing.
Paul still hasn’t accepted the offer from Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs), and many fans doubt that he will. While the 39-year-old Beterbiev fits Jake’s target category of being an older fighter, he still has too much left to be selected. It would be worse than a mismatch.
Jake Pleased With Beterbiev’s Call Out
It would be a slaughter in Beterbiev’s favor because Paul has no true ability. He’s just a wealthy YouTuber who hustles and fights in his spare time when he’s not tending to his main job. Jake has fought only one boxer that is active during his career, Tommy Fury, and lost to him. That shows Jake’s operational level as a fighter. At best, Tommy is a British-level fighter and even that’s a stretch.
Labeling himself as a ‘disrupter’ in boxing, 27-year-old YouTuber Jake Paul says he now runs the sport because active and non-active fighters call him out for a fight. Jake has the following on social media to choose almost any fighter in boxing or MMA to fight, and they’ll agree to fight him because of the money. Any famous person could do the same thing Jake is, but they haven’t gone in that direction.
“Just seen this….top 5 pound-for-pound fighter in the world calling me out. Hahahahahaha. 4 years in, and I run this sport,” said Jake Paul on X, reacting to being called out by undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev for a fight following his win over Mike Tyson last Friday.
Jake beat Tyson by an eight-round unanimous decision last Friday in front of a reported 70,000+ fans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. It wasn’t a great performance from Jake, as he looked like a lower-level journeyman type of fighter, but Tyson was beyond words in terms of being horrible.
Reflecting on how I have disrupted boxings old guard…and it finally hit me, Mike Tyson was the original disruptor. Took the entire sport by storm and became an icon. Goals are clear
