Jake Paul wants people to tune in whenever he fights
Paul believes he has achieved star status. Now he wants people to be electrified every time he steps into the ring. He believes that people should be in awe whenever he does lace up the gloves and climb into the squared circle.
He said, “Every time Jake Paul fights, I want there to be an electricity in the air everyone can feel. And people have to tune in. And so, I’m gonna challenge myself, I’m gonna find the right opponent and I’m gonna stay active. Let’s get it, I’m ready to go.”
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?
