Jake Paul Shows Interest in Fighting Against Both Muhammad Ali’s Grandsons in a Boxing and MMA Fight

Published 04/10/2023, 5:30 AM EDT

Jake Paul has signed a deal with PFL, which will help him conduct the MMA fights for himself. Jake Paul has revolutionized boxing by garnering a lot of attention towards the sport. Most combat sports fans are driven more toward MMA fights, due to the inactivity and probability of the fighters pulling out more often in the sport of boxing. But Paul changed that, as he kept on delivering fights to his fans without canceling them. Paul is now reportedly thinking about trying his hand at MMA. Recently, ‘The Problem Child’ also showed interest in fighting both Muhammad Ali‘s grandsons in their respective fields.

One of Ali’s grandsons, Biaggio Ali Walsh is an MMA fighter who has a record of 3-1, while the other grandson, Nico Ali Walsh, is a rising star in boxing with a record of eight flawless wins without any losses, as of right now. Both brothers reacted to Paul’s callout and gave their replies to his challenge.

Jake Paul has signed a deal with the PFL 2, so he will be making his promotional debut in the year 2024. It is exciting to know that the prospect of Jake Paul fighting inside the cage is open for the future, and there is a chance fans may get to witness that.

Recently, during a PFL 2 watch-along which was organized on Wade Plemons‘ Youtube Channel, Jake Paul was asked whether he would be open to taking on Muhammad Ali’s grandsons in their respective arenas. Jake Paul replied by agreeing to the offer, and he stated that he will take on everybody, and it doesn’t matter who his opponent is. He said with complete confidence, “Just erase them all, I’m down.”

When both brothers heard about Jake Paul’s statements regarding them, they did not think it made sense for them to fight him. However, in the same watch-along show, Jake Paul appreciated the amazing TKO victory of Biaggio Ali Walsh at PFL 2. Meanwhile, both brothers, individually, talked about Paul’s callout and expressed their views on it.

Biaggio Ali Walsh was fighting in an event recently, where he secured the win by a knockout and later, he talked about Jake Paul calling him and his brother out. He stated, “Nico fights at 162 lbs and I fight at 155 lbs, I have no problem with Jake Paul but he should fight someone his own size.” He also said that he doesn’t understand why Paul looks out for opponents who are smaller in size than him. According to Biaggio, if Paul fought at Cruiserweight in Boxing, he should fight in the same weight class in the MMA as well.

At the same event, Nico Ali Walsh was also present and he was completely oblivious to Jale Paul’s statements. He found it funny that the YouTuber-turned-boxer called him out for a fight. But he humbly rejected his offer as he wasn’t interested in fighting anybody who was not a boxer, as he already had to prove himself in front of the world. And he doesn’t want to go through the same process again, after fighting Jake Paul. He said, “I want to stick with fighting boxers and getting to a title one day.”
