Jake Paul has constantly called out several boxers for a fight, including legends such as Floyd Mayweather and Canelo Alvarez. However, the YouTuber has now unveiled the only boxer he would never face.
In recent years, Jake Paul has tried to make a name for himself in professional boxing. The influencer has faced many personalities, from former boxers to even retired basketball players.
Despite his 11-1 record in pro boxing, Paul has yet to face an elite pugilist. While big names have surfaced as potential opponents, he has now directly named the one boxer he would refuse to fight.
Jake Paul opens up and reveals the only boxer he would never face
Jake Paul is still trying to build a career in professional boxing. Last year, he faced Mike Tyson in November, but the bout against the legendary boxer didn’t go too well for him.
After the fight, Jake Paul was severely criticized for facing a boxer 31 years older than him. The YouTuber won the bout by unanimous decision against a clearly exhausted Mike Tyson by the third round.
Now, fans are asking Jake Paul to face a real boxer, one who is currently in good shape to challenge him. While he has mentioned Canelo Alvarez as his next big target, the YouTuber has now revealed one name he wouldn’t face anytime soon.
On the latest episode of his podcast “BS w/ Jake Paul,” the influencer talked with star boxer David Benavidez. Paul directly told him that he would never face him, admitting it would be a step too far.
“When my manager is talking about fights, the only no is you,” he said to Benavidez. “I will not fight this (expletive) guy. He is a monster, bro. I would (expletive) die. I love you, Anthony and we are friends. But I want to fight you. I will beat Canelo, I will beat a lot of people. I would not beat David Benavidez.”
Who will Jake Paul fight next?
One of the biggest questions in boxing right now is who Jake Paul will fight next. The influencer, after his controversial bout against Mike Tyson, wants to face a top-tier pugilist, and he has named one who would be an ideal opponent.
After failing to secure a fight against Canelo Alvarez, Jake Paul has expressed interest in fighting Anthony Joshua. According to the YouTuber, he believes he could easily knock out the British boxer and is eager to test himself against him.
