YouTube sensation Jake Paul switched careers to move into boxing and make a name for himself in the sport. However, he is coming off of the biggest win in his career after beating Anderson Silva in his last bout. Despite all this, it looks like Paul is trying his hand at another sport.

In a video uploaded by ‘The Problem Child’s company Better, he can be seen throwing a football to Tampa Bay Buccaneers football wide receiver, Michael Evans. This was not all as the video was titled “@jakepaul is the next coming of @tombrady ” with Paul even stating that he was better than Brady at the sport. “I’m literally Tom Brady in every aspect,” he said in the video.

He then went on to throw the ball to Evans, who was in a boat at the time. However, the catch was dropped, prompting Paul to call Evans out. “he dropped it, he fuc**g dropped it, Mike Evans, why did you drop it?” he added.

It seems like the Ohio-based boxer is not happy that Evans dropped his throw. However, comparing himself to the greatest quarterback and NFL player of all time is a little far-fetched from ‘The Problem Child’

The two fighters were supposed to face off back in August. However, the fight got called off after Fury was denied entry into the United States. Despite that, this rivalry is far from over, as the two might just be colliding in the ring at some point in the future.
