Jake Paul has challenged one of the greatest boxer in the history Floyd MayWeather to a fight.
Youtuber turned boxer Jake Paul has challenged Floyd MayWeather to a fight following their fracas after a basketball game.
Jake Paul states on Thursday that he was approached by Mayweather and a group of 40 men when he was leaving the Cavaliers-Heat game on Wednesday in Miami.
Paul was seen jogging away from the group of people outside the arena. No punches were thrown and Mayweather isn’t heard talking to Paul in the short clip.
“Floyd Mayweather and 50 dudes pull up out of nowhere, out of like some side alley, waiting for me outside of the stadium, and they’re like, ‘So what’s up? So what’s all that talk now?'” Paul said in an Instagram video. “I’m like first of all, what did I say to you Floyd? I just took your hat and you’re still mad about it? Come on, bro. And then 50 dudes literally start surrounding me to try to jump me, and I’m out that b—-, OK?
“Floyd, you want to run it one-on-one, no problem, but I’m not dumb. I’m tough, I don’t need to prove my toughness. … I’m not going to sit there and try to fight 50 dudes. … You’re mad because I took your hat; are you serious? Move on.”
Mayweather retired from professional fighting in 2017, though he still competes in exhibition bouts, and held one last month in London.
Paul started his own professional boxing career after Mayweather retired. The influencer was 6-0, including wins over former UFC stars Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley, before he lost to a split decision to Tommy Fury last week.
“Floyd will not see me 1 on 1 in a real fight,” Paul tweeted. “That’s a fact. His team has hit my team numerous times to do one of his ‘exhibitions’. Now he ambushes me. Come see me in the ring, real fight, no exhibition robbing fans bulls—.”
