“Makes Me Want to Dust Off the Gloves!”: 52-Year-Old Dan Henderson Open to Jake Paul Fight Following His Tommy Fury Loss

Jake Paul lost his last match to Tommy Fury. The match went to a split decision in favor of Fury, followed by their gruesome fight in Saudi Arabia. The undefeated boxer made sure that he scored more than Paul with his moves. Except for the last round, Fury scored more than ‘The Problem Child’ in all seven rounds. Nonetheless, even though Paul faced a huge loss, the 52-year-old UFC legend is ready to fight Paul.

Dan Henderson recently called out Jake Paul, followed by his loss. ‘Hendo’ felt that it was high time that he dust off his gloves to fight Paul, who is yet to recover from the first and only failure of his boxing career.

Dan Henderson calls out Jake Paul

The oldest fighter in the UFC, while retiring, seems like he is not yet done with his fighting career. The 52-year-old took to his social media handle and tweeted, “No power. Makes me want to dust off the gloves!” Under the tweet, one of the fans asked if he was ready to fight Jake Paul in the near future, as a reply to the question. ‘Hendo’ replied “lfg.” This indicated that the UFC legend was ready to fight the 26-year-old.

Dan Henderson began his professional fighting career in 1997, and his last UFC match was in 2016. In his retirement match, he fought against Michael Bisping at UFC 204. Furthermore, ‘Hendo’ lost the match via decision in round five. The American fighter is the biggest example of the true sportsman spirit of an athlete.

On the other hand, Jake Paul started his fighting career in 2018 and won six matches out of the seven matches he fought.

After coming across Henderson’s tweet, some of the fans were so disheartened. Some even requested ‘Hendo’ to not stoop so low as he is one of the most respected MMA fighters. However, soon after his retirement, when asked about coming back to the sport, Henderson said “No, I don’t have any itch,” he said. “It was enough time—20 years of doing it (MMA).”
