Fresh off his controversial decision win over Mike Tyson, ‘The Problem Child’ is finding himself within the crosshairs of countless world champion boxers each past and present.
Yet out of all of the names who’re calling out the divisive social media sensation, there’s one who fighter stands head-and-shoulders above the remainder – undisputed light heavyweight king, Artur Beterbiev.
Artur Beterbiev and Jake Paul exchange fiery messages on social media
Following his unanimous decision win over Mike Tyson this past weekend, Jake Paul is the bell of the ball once more; with countless boxing icons wanting to silence ‘The Problem Child’ and get revenge for Iron Mike.
Nevertheless, not many fans would have predicted that undisputed king Artur Beterbiev would throw his name into the hat of potential next opponents, let alone in a respectful and real manner.
“What are you able to do in [the] ring against the present undisputed champion?” Beterbiev wrote on his Instagram page in response to Jake Paul teasing a future showdown, before stating that he’s “all the time open to suggestions.”
A couple of hours later, and Paul would react on X, and similar to the remainder of us, ‘The Problem Child’ was shocked at the likelihood that the 21-0 champion would even be all for fighting him.
“Just seen this… Top 5 pound for pound fighter on the earth calling me out. Hahahahahhahah. 4 years in and I run this sport.”
Whilst his comment that he ‘runs this sport’ didn’t sit too well with boxing purists, it did pique the eye of Beterbiev once more, who responded by doubling down on his fight offer.
“After 4 years it’s time to have serious challenges. Didn’t notice your acceptance or rejection… So what are we going to do?”
Beterbiev stays considered one of the most important superstars in the game and is coming off a powerful majority decision of Canelo-conqueror Dmitry Bivol; although his stock would surely be diminished if he actually accepted a suggestion to fight Paul.
Jake Paul called out by heavyweight champion following his Mike Tyson fight
Artur Beterbiev isn’t the one champion who is looking for a fight with Jake Paul, with heavyweight juggernaut Daniel Dubois also teasing a showdown with ‘The Problem Child’.
Paul would share a screenshot of an alleged DM from ‘Dynamite Dubois’, which read: “Good business on the weekend but how would you are feeling about fighting for the legitimate heavyweight championship of the world. That is Daniel Dubois calling you out let’s get it on.”
Paul would reply with a picture of a ticket machine, telling Dubois to “get in line,” as he then re-shared the image to his own social media.
“Man been boxing for 12 years, has over 100 fights between amateur and pro and fought on my undercard…hahaha… But f*** it…I’m going to have Nakisa seek advice from Frankie Warren and get you in line for the throne. Unlike Artur, no less than you could have a couple of thousand fans.”
