Jake Paul ‘The Problem Child’ is still looking for potential boxing fights. His last fight ended in a stunning knockout win over former UFC Welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and took him to 5-0 as a professional.

As rumors around a potential fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. began growing, Jake Paul addressed them. On Boxing with Chris Mannix, he said, “I like that fight a lot because it silences the critics.”
