Jake Paul is looking for a new opponent and has called out everyone from Joe Biden to Ellen DeGeneres. Now it seems that he's setting his sights on none other than boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr., who brother Logan is expected to fight in February.
Jake and Logan Paul entered professional boxing with a bang and both already have two fights a piece. The outspoken YouTubers have certainly not sold themselves short, with Logan set to fight Floyd Mayweather and Jake recently calling out Conor Mcgregor. Mayweather is arguably the greatest pound for pound boxer of all time with a 50-0 record in the ring. Conor Mcgregor meanwhile is one of the greatest pure strikers in MMA with an emphasis on boxing. While Logan's fight is already set in stone, Jake's next one is up in the air and he's refused to hold back on calling people out.
Logan recently retweeted a video of Chris Hemsworth proclaiming to his fans that he plans to fight the Marvel celebrity after he's done with Floyd Mayweather. Naturally, brother Jake chimed in and made his claim to face the former boxing world champ. In response to Logan's tweet about fighting Hemsworth Jake replied "And then I'll fight mayweather". It seems that fans may see not one Paul but two facing the pound for pound boxing legend. Odds makers must be frothing at the mouth for predictions on Mayweather vs the Paul family. (See tweet below)
Oddly, this seems to be a back track from what the younger Paul brother preached earlier in the month. He recently came out to criticize his brother's decision to fight a boxer like Mayweather saying that it was a disgrace to professional boxing. Additionally, he laid out a plan for fans where he is expecting to face lower level opponents until he builds up his skill set to face upper echelon boxers. This plan has been the hallmark of Jake's celebrity call outs as of late. Fans have been expecting him to face a mixed martial artist who is primarily a grappling specialist as a new test for his boxing skills. Two options that have been the most likely candidates are grapplers Dillon Danis and Ben Askren. Fighting a guy like Mayweather completely defies any narrative provided by Jake in that regard.
However, it is worth noting that he did not set a specific timeline for his expected challenge to Mayweather. It could be that after his brother faces the boxer that possibly he will expect to face him sometime down the line. This makes the most sense as Jake is obviously very gifted, evidenced in his last fight against NBA star Nate Robinson. Truthfully, the best path for him is to slowly up his competition until he is ultimately ready to face someone of Mayweather's caliber. All in all, evidently there is no telling what the future will hold with the two brothers. Fans can check out Jake's last fight in the video below.
