Undisputed mild heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) replied to Jake Paul immediately, asking him if his response to his earlier battle supply was an “acceptance or rejection.”
Beterbiev is losing his time making an attempt to get a battle towards Jake as a result of he’s solely considering combating outdated, retired fighters or ones with little expertise. Going up towards Beterbiev could be a 100% slaughter, with Jake getting humiliated in a battle that may solely final so long as the champion needed it to.
Paul Exhibiting ZERO Curiosity
Jake Paul’s preliminary response to Beterbiev’s call-out was one among glee, saying, “Prime 5 pound-for-pound fighter on the earth calling me out. Hahahahahaha. 4 years in, and I run this sport.”
Paul has an excellent system going, selecting outdated fossils from the dinosaur age and making hundreds of thousands from his many followers on Instagram and YouTube, who’re keen to buy his occasions on PPV. Beterbiev doesn’t match the mildew of the kind of fighters that Jake fights.
The YouTuber Paul (11-1, 7 KOs) has been given a title shot supply by the four-belt champion Beterbiev. Nonetheless, it’s at a weight that Paul doubtless couldn’t squeeze right down to even when he have been as a result of he’s a cruiserweight, and he bulked as much as 227 lbs for his eight-rounder towards 58-year-old Mike Tyson final Friday night time of their headliner on Netflix.
Beterbiev appears severe about eager to battle Jake, and it’s not about getting revenge for former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson’s one-sided loss to him final Friday night time at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
That is extra about Beterbiev wanting the celebrity and fortune that may come from a battle towards Jake, who has a large following on Instagram and YouTube, which makes him arguably extra in style than the highest boxing stars Canelo Alvarez, Anthony Joshua, and Tyson Fury.
Beterbiev combating Jake would deliver him a payday far larger than what he would get, rematching Dmitry Bivol or combating Jai Opetaia. The cash and the publicity that Beterbiev would obtain would give him a lift at this stage stage of his 11-year professional profession.
After 4 years it’s time to have severe challenges. Didn’t discover your acceptance or rejection. So what are we gonna do?
