Jake Paul seems to have targeted UFC Hall of Famer and former middleweight champion, Michael Bisping, as a potential future foe.
Paul took to social media and posted a tweet to his official Twitter account, challenging Bisping to a potential boxing bout. The YouTube star is 5-0 since becoming a pro boxer in January 2020 and is coming off of a sixth-round KO victory over former UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley, in their rematch last December. Bisping meanwhile hasn't competed since November 2017 when he was knocked out by Kelvin Gastelum in the first round at UFC Fight Night 122.
“I get why he’s mad at the new kid on the block, whatever, talking all this shit,” Paul said (h/t MMA Junkie). “When he looks at his bank account, guys, you may not know this, but he only sees half of it, so he really thinks he made half of that amount of money since he only has one eye, but the eye jokes are not funny. (Eye) truly don’t think it’s funny. (Eye) think it’s mean. And (eye) am sorry. Now, Michael, I am not just the type of person to talk shit without backing it up, so if you can get licensed with your one eye and old ass and all that crazy shit you got going on, I would love to fight you. Let’s see if that championship that you won and all the respect you have from the fight community can really get you through a boxing match with me because I bet it can’t. I will whoop your old ass.”
Dear @bisping,

I challenge you to stop hosting your struggling podcast, get licensed to fight, and box me.
Let’s see if that UFC belt and all the respect you have can help you beat me in a boxing match. pic.twitter.com/9Bv0bDTK1E
