Jake Paul has rapidly become one of the biggest and most controversial topics in the sport of boxing. ‘The Problem Child’ comes under a lot of criticism for many things. And the internet sensation may have just attracted more hate with his latest revelation.

The undefeated YouTuber turned boxer faces most of his criticism for cherry-picking his opponents. Despite having three professional fights, Paul is yet to face a professional boxer.

Paul then stayed silent for a while, and it appeared as though he would laugh it off. However, the internet sensation then replied with, “Get the f***ing rat traps.” Thus, this comment from the YouTuber hinted he is willing to face the rapper.

In addition, he could not resist a dig at the rapper who gained global attention for co-operating with the authorities to get a shorter prison sentence.

Should Jake Paul fight Tekashi 6ix9ine?

The YouTuber turned professional boxer has been ambitious with his call-outs ever since his first fight. However, he has revealed his desire to fight big-name opponents rather than unknown boxers. So would a fight against 6ix9ine make sense for Jake Paul?

Unfortunately for Paul, if he picks a bout against another opponent with no boxing experience, he will face the wrath of combat sports fans yet again. Several other professional boxers would entertain a fight against him. Thus, if he faces 6ix9ine, fans will accuse him of ducking actual fights.
