“I’m All for It”: Legendary Boxing Promoter Bob Arum Gives His Take on Jake Paul

Jake Paul, from the past year, has constantly sent shock waves around the combat sports universe with his in-ring activities and antics. He is by far the most renowned YouTuber turned boxer, who’s turned into a household name. As a consequence, not only casual fans, but bigwigs of the boxing vertical cannot sustain themselves from talking about Paul.

Recently, the Top Rank boss, Bob Arum, who turned 90, interacted with Ariel Helwani. Here, he gave an honest opinion on ‘The Problem Child’.

Arum said, “I’ve never seen him [Jake Paul] fight. I don’t know if he can fight or not. I’m inclined to believe that an experienced fighter in his weight class would demolish him.”

“An experienced fighter in any weight class will demolish a young fighter no matter what his amateur pedigree is.”

“If he arranges these fights, and people want to watch the fights, I’m all for it.”

On December 18, Jake Paul was all set to square off with pro-boxer Tommy Fury. This fight was regarded as the ultimate test for ‘The Problem Child’ because ‘TNT’, a pro-boxing prodigy, had enough abilities to push Paul to the brink of his fighting skills.

Unfortunately, Fury chose to withdraw from the fight due to medical reasons.

However, Paul was eager to stay on the line for his last outing of 2021. Consequently, he got a worthy opponent in Tyron Woodley, and now, the former rivals will have a go at each other with an unchanged slot.
