Katie Taylor was in an interview with DAZN boxing.

In conversation, Taylor took a dig at Paul by mentioning that he has never been involved in a real fight. She said, “As far as Jake Paul – this isn’t a game, this is actually a real fight. He’s never been involved in a fight like this and he never will be involved in a fight like this.”

She further goes on to say that her bout with Serrano is a real fight, something that Paul ‘knows nothing about’.

However, this comment, which was later tweeted by Michael Benson, did not sit well with Paul.

Paul responded by calling out Taylor for her comments. He even goes on to mention that he was able to take the fight to a bigger level than Taylor and Eddie Hearn. Paul said, “Katie I appreciate you thanking me for making this fight happen at a level Eddie never could. But the only thing real is you, your team and Eddie talk a lot of s*** but can’t back it up.”
