Follow Us
Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather was recently seen inside the boxing ring against British Youtuber Deji for an exhibition match. Mayweather is one of the few A-list fighters who engage in exhibition bouts. Following his November 13th fight against Deji, American Youtuber turned boxer Jake Paul has revealed his wish to fight with Mayweather, but with one condition.
Jake Paul squared off against UFC legend Anderson Silva on October 29th, and he became the talk of the town as he defeated the longest-reigning champion in the history of UFC. He wants to fight Floyd Mayweather now, but only if he agrees to weigh 165 pounds.

Fans have been raving about it on the internet. Take a look at what they have to say about a probable Paul vs. Mayweather clash. One fan wrote, “What is wrong with this guy. Why do he wanna fight only older guys.. Yo man up do some professional fights with the guys in the game.”
While another fan said, “Floyd received damage against Deji(who Jake beat).Jake would retire Floyd for good”
“Forget Floyd fight a real fighter he’s retire”
Someone mentioned, “Honestly, Money May walks him-DOWN!!!!!!”
“No position to make demands tbh”
Another fan stated, “Fight a real boxer in your weight class, and that’s not retired”
“Floyd is the weight of a 16 yr old”
Mayweather has not made any comments thus far about fighting Paul. Although ‘Money’ is way ahead of Paul in the sport, the former has been into five exhibition bouts till now. And fighting Jake Paul would be the biggest draw when it comes to influencer boxers, and thus, there might be a possibility of Mayweather agreeing to fight him. However, only time will tell how this situation plays out.
Jake Paul to settle unfinished business with former rival
‘The Problem Child’ has been paired twice with Tommy Fury for a potential fight. At first, the fight got canceled as the latter suffered an injury. The second time, Fury pulled out of the fight again, saying he is facing visa issues. But now there seems a possibility of a potential clash between the two.

Dear @FrankWarren , I agree to fight Tommy in Manchester or London in Feb. I’ll come to his country, no more running. His baby is due then & you’ve said it’s no issue. Since John is adamant we’ve agreed, I am giving u 7 days to present a signed contract by Tommy or I’m moving on. https://t.co/QMDuEsWipw

Paul has urged British promoter Frank Warren to finalize the agreement within the coming week. He declared that he is prepared to travel to the UK in February and face Fury. Even Warren has expressed confidence that this effort can succeed.
