YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul appeared on the Full Send Podcast and talked about everything related to the fight game. ‘The Problem Child’ is known today more for his stints in the boxing ring than for his prowess as a content creator. Chiefly, his recent endeavors, fighting against former UFC fighters and champions have gone a long way to bolster his profile.
In the mix of talking about his recent bout against Tyron Woodley, Jake Paul was asked about possibly facing another former UFC champion. The team over at Full Send Podcast asked Paul if he would ever fight Khabib Nurmagomedov. Furthermore, they also wanted to know if Paul would go on to troll the lightweight GOAT much like he does his other opponents.
“I would do it [fight Khabib] because I would have to do it. I have so much respect for him, I wouldn’t troll him at all. I would be like, ‘You’re the best, but let’s fight.’

Paul is known for his over-the-top antics when it comes to trash-talking his opponents before the actual fight. However, Nurmagomedov’s professionalism clearly speaks volumes, and he has commanded Jake Paul’s respect.
