Breaking News -World Champion Agrees To Give Jake Paul Title Shot: “I Want Pay Back For Mike Tyson Beating”..See More 👇
Jake Paul defeated boxing legend Mike Tyson in November.
It was a fight that split opinion within boxing, due to Tyson stepping back in the ring at the age of 58-years-old.
Paul was able to outclass his much older opponent, claiming a unanimous decision victory after eight two-minute rounds of action.
In the aftermath, ‘The Problem Child’ has been called out by a number of big name fighters, including several current world champions.
One of those men is undisputed light-heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev, and he has explained to Seconds Out just why he wanted to step into the ring with Paul.
For a long tike I have favourite boxers like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. Jake Paul beat Tyson, one of my favourite boxers.
“My first reaction was I want to pay him back, but after a couple of days it’s good, I don’t want to fight with him. If he wants it [we can fight], but I think he doesn’t like to fight me.”
Beterbiev then explained what he thought of Paul as a boxer and how he thinks a fight would go between the two.
“I think I’d show him a real boxer. He has good skills, but he’s not that good.
Beterbiev was last in action in October, when he defeated Dmitry Bivol by majority decision to add the WBA belt to his WBC, IBF and WBO collection and become undisputed at 175lbs.
As for Paul, he has named the fighter that he claims turned down an eight million dollar offer to step into the ring with him.
