Jake Paul recently brought Mike Tyson out of retirement. The duo is set to face each other on July 20 inside the squared circle. Many fans have raised their concern for the 58-year-old veteran, but at the same time, some fans also want to see ‘Iron’ back in action. However, the fight doesn’t seem to interest UFC fighter Colby Covington as he went on to make some bold claims regarding Paul’s boxing career.

‘The problem’ has been making waves in the sport of boxing. Having fought some of the best combat sports athletes, including some big-name UFC veterans, Jake Paul believes that he has brought more eyes to boxing. However, Colby Covington believes that Paul’s boxing career is a sham and rained down on the 27-year-old during a recent podcast appearance.

Colby Covington claims Jake Paul’s boxing matches are rigged

Jake Paul, so far, has competed in 10 boxing matches, winning a majority of the matches except for one. But Colby Covington was not impressed with that. During a recent episode of ‘SOSCAST w/ Adam Sosnick‘, ‘Choas’ claimed that all of ‘The Problem Child’s fights till now have been rigged. He said, “All of Jake Paul’s accomplishments have been rigged. They’ve set up the deck against him from the start.”

Even though Colby Covington doesn’t seem to be a fan of Jake Paul, he is aware that the first boxing match the YouTuber-turned-boxer had was against an NBA player, Nate Robinson, who was much smaller in stature. “Look, he fought the shortest guy in the NBA to start his career against Nate Robinson. He had like a 70-pound advantage [and] everybody was like pissed,” ‘Chaos’ further stated.

Jake Paul had some significant physical advantage over Nate Robinson, who was knocked out by ‘The Problem Child’ in their boxing match. As such, Covington dismissed the 27-year-old as being as tough as he claims. Instead, the former UFC interim champion called Paul a bully.

“You’re picking on this little NBA player and you think you’re tough because of that? That doesn’t make you tough, dude, just because you’re beating up little guys and being a bully,” he added. He even dismissed Paul’s win over his former UFC rival, Tyron Woodley. Let’s see what he had to say on that front.

‘Chaos’ claims Tyron Woodley “took a dive” against Paul

Some of the biggest fights in Jake Paul’s boxing career were the two fights against Tyron Woodley. Both fights ended with ‘The Problem Child’ edging past the former UFC champion, first by split decision and second by a knockout. However, Colby Covington believes that Woodley intended to lose the fight since he was past his prime.

“He [Tyron Woodley] was past his prime and he obviously took a dive. The first fight, you could tell he was holding back. He dropped him out of the ring and he came back in and you could tell Jake made a little signal to him and then he started going light, he did not go hard,” Colby Covington further stated.

If that wasn’t enough, Covington also took shots at Jake Paul’s fight against Nate Diaz. He claimed that the Stockton native did a similar thing to Tyron Woodley just to get a paycheck. “It’s a freak show. 100 percent, I believe that everyone in Jake Paul’s fight is rigged, even Nate Diaz. Same thing. He just wanted to take a dive for the money,” ‘Chaos’ added.
