Former UFC champion and current ONE champion Demetrious Johnson criticized Jake Paul for fighting little-known opponents.
"What do you do when you fight guys you find on the street? Like I said, Paul fought Andre August and this guy was delivering pizzas. Find someone between the ages of 25 and 26 who's working out at the gym, who's working, who's hungry. Put yourself under fire. Go up against top level opponents to build your credibility. Ladies and gentlemen, there is a difference between a professional boxer, a professional athlete and an amateur. He fights all kinds of random guys, but he used to fight against professional athletes. Now against Andre August, Ryan Bourland, against the basketball player he fought in the beginning, those are not professional fights."
