Jake Paul has ripped into Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz after the pair tried to call him out at UFC 300, as he declared that Dana White is protecting Masvidal from being knocked out by The Problem Child, who will fight Iron Mike Tyson this summer.
Paul has been active in the boxing game since and has proven to be a highly controversial figure with some loving the personality he brings to the show and considering him a decent fighter, whilst others believe he isn’t any good for the sport in terms of talent and conduct.
Masvidal and Diaz fall into the second category as they both agreed in Las Vegas, “F**k Jake Paul.”
But the 27-year-old doesn’t intend to let that slide so he wasted absolutely no time in calling out the pair of them, suggesting they’re cowards, nobody watches UFC and he would beat both of them inside a boxing ring.
“Two of the biggest names in MMA can’t keep my name out their mouth at their press conference that nobody watched,” Paul said on X.com, formerly Twitter. “Jorge is literally permitted by UFC to box anyone but me because Dana knows I will put his little a** to sleep.
“Already told both of these bozos to see me in PFL bc [because] in boxing they got no shot. $10M for either of them.”
Masvidal would not be the first MMA fighter that Paul has stepped into the ring as he previously defeated both Anderson Silva and, of course, Diaz himself, inside the boxing ring. Diaz was handed the loss via unanimous decision.
When is Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson?
Known for his exceptional power, speed, and aggressive demeanor inside the ring, Tyson became one of the most feared and dominant fighters of his era and during his prime, Tyson achieved a string of impressive victories, often dispatching opponents with devastating knockouts in the early rounds.
His career was so great that Tyson‘s impact on boxing is undeniable. He helped to popularize the sport with his electrifying performances and larger-than-life persona. Even in retirement, Tyson remains a revered figure in boxing history, remembered for his unmatched skill and intensity in the ring.
That is who Jake Paul will step into the boxing ring with on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas in an event streamed by Netflix, although he does have a 30-year age advantage over Tyson…
