Van Damme challenged Jake Paul: "K-1 vs Boxing"

The iconic action star Jean-Claude Van Damme decided to remind the world of his presence and "ride the wave" of the mega-popular blogger-boxer Jake Paul. Van Damme challenged Jake, proposing an interstyle match - K-1 vs Boxing.

"Hey, Jake Paul. Let's have a fight, a real match. K-1 vs Boxing, no low kicks and no elbow strikes. I'm just a regular guy who wants to kick your ass," the actor wrote on his social media.

Let's remember that Van Damme has a background in karate and kickboxing, with an overall record of 20-2. On the other hand, Paul's last fight was against former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, which he lost early. Jake is currently recovering from serious injuries sustained in the bout with the Briton.
