Paul has left no stone unturned recently. Shortly after his win against Robinson, he called out both Conor McGregor and Dillon Danis, and claimed that he’d knock both out. He also called out the likes of Jorge Masvidal and Ben Askren. No doubt he has got confidence in himself as of now after beating a celebrity and an NBA player.

Whether Paul can hang in the ring with an actual fighter is a big question mark. We’ll have to wait for the answer until he actually fights a significant opponent.

What do you make of Jake Paul’s recent antics? Is he biting more than he can chew?
