Jake Paul and Ilia Topuria threw verbal punches at each other during a Thursday livestream with Adin Ross, as the pair bickered over their fighting skills. The situation quickly heated up and soon veered into challenges and personal insults.
During the exchange, Ilia Topuria wasted no time in criticizing Jake Paul's abilities, calling them amateurish. The mixed martial artist made it clear his belief that Paul falls short in the boxing ring.
"As a boxer, you suck," Topuria directly told Paul.
Not one to back down, Jake Paul responded by defending himself and suggesting they should take their argument to the ring.
"If you think I'm a bad boxer, then we should spar," he shot back. "Let's spar. When I beat your ass in sparring, what will you say then?"
The conversation escalated with both men trading insults about their capabilities. Topuria exemplified confidence about meeting Paul for a bout or sparring.
"Just get ready because you're gonna need another period of time to recover your jaw," warned Topuria.
"What the f*** are you talking about? Listen, we can spar whenever you want. I'm gonna give you a combo [...] and you are gonna be on your f***ing knees."
Paul remained unfazed by the bold words from Topuria.
"Oh, we can do that, too. We can do that, too. Everyone in your sport thinks they have hands, and we're gonna find out, buddy. It's gonna be funny when people see what happens," countered Paul.
Recently caught off-guard by Anthony Joshua who sent him crashing to the mat with a knockout in round six Paul nursed a broken jaw from that encounter still feels ready for another challenge. On the other hand two-weight champ Ilia Topuria previously knocked out Charles Oliveira which proves his toughness and skill in combat sports.
