Jake Paul surprised everyone by challenging Oleksandr Usyk to a fight right after Usyk's big win. The heavyweight champ had just knocked out Daniel Dubois in five rounds at Wembley when Paul showed up in the ring for a face-off.
Usyk put on a dominant performance to defend his titles. He outclassed Dubois and finished the fight early, proving why he's one of the best heavyweights around. But what happened next got people talking even more.
Jake Paul, fresh off his win against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., jumped into the ring. He stood toe-to-toe with Usyk in a defiant stare-down. This unexpected move sparked rumors about a possible fight between the two.
Paul didn't stop there. He took to social media to throw down the gauntlet. He wrote:
"Congratulations to one of the greatest heavyweights of all time @usykaa on a great victory. I respect you very much. Now we will do an MMA fight for the world"
The YouTube star turned boxer suggested they should face off in a cage for an MMA bout. It's a bold move from Paul, who's currently ranked 14th in the WBA cruiserweight division.
Usyk, still catching his breath from his title defense, seemed open to the idea. He said:
"Yes, I'm ready, but I need to rest"
The Ukrainian champ made it clear he's willing to consider it, but recovery comes first.
This potential matchup has got fans excited and the boxing world scratching their heads. Paul, one of today's most controversial boxers, is blurring the lines between professional boxing and celebrity bouts.
While this fight remains just talk for now, Paul isn't slowing down. He's already looking to set up a fight with Anthony Joshua for next year. Whether these big-name bouts happen or not, Jake Paul continues to shake up the boxing world.
