Adrien Broner has thrown down the gauntlet to Jake Paul, claiming he'll be the first to knock out the YouTube star turned boxer.
Broner, a four-weight world champion, didn't mince words when he called out Paul on social media. He said:
"Jake Paul, I'd knock your b—h ass out! I'm talking to you Jake Paul, I'd knock you the f–k out! Dead ass."
The callout comes on the heels of Paul's recent victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Paul dominated the former WBC world middleweight champion from start to finish on June 28 at the Honda Center in Anaheim. The win earned Paul his first official world ranking, with the WBA placing him at number 14.
Paul's new ranking didn't sit well with everyone. Craig Parker voiced his frustration at being ranked below 'The Problem Child'.
Broner, once one of boxing's top contenders, has faced his share of challenges both in and out of the ring. He's shared the ring with notable fighters like Mikey Garcia, Shawn Porter, and Manny Pacquiao. However, his last fight in June 2024 ended in a comprehensive defeat to Blair Cobbs. Since then, Broner hasn't stepped back into the ring.
It remains to be seen if Paul will respond to Broner's challenge. For now, the boxing world watches with interest to see what's next for both fighters.
