‘The Problem Child’ lived up to his name by taking on Mike Tyson in a boxing match. Although Jake Paul secured a unanimous decision victory after eight rounds against the legendary former undisputed champion, he failed to win over fans and faced heavy criticism. Recently, world boxing champion Artur Beterbiev has extended an offer for Paul to challenge him for the world light-heavyweight title.
Beterbiev, the undisputed light-heavyweight champion, has joined the list of high-profile boxers willing to step into the ring with Jake Paul. After his recent fight, Paul discussed potential opponents, including Canelo Alvarez, the current undisputed super welterweight champion.
He also boldly claimed he could become a cruiserweight world champion within two years. On Saturday, Beterbiev addressed Paul’s apparent call-out, following his victory over Dmitry Bivol for the undisputed title last month. Taking to Instagram, Beterbiev challenged Paul directly, writing, “@jakepaul, what can you do in ring against the current undisputed champion? Just know that I’m always open to suggestions.”
