This is not the first time when ‘The Latvian Punisher’ has threatened Jake. He is chasing ‘The Problem Child’ and openly challenged him to fight. In the past, Mairis went the distance to grab undefeated YouTuber’s attention by inking the ‘Jake’s Bad Karma’ tattoo on his leg. Many called it a publicity stunt. In a sports podcast on iFL TV, he said that he will force Youtuber blogger to quit boxing for good, “My place is the ring, his place is Disneyland.” But it is obvious that he wants to fight social media star, Jake Paul. Therefore, he is constantly making efforts by teasing him, challenging him, and giving threats to bring him into the ring.
