JAKE PAUL had a blunt message for Carl Froch after the British boxing legend threatened to “send him into f***ing orbit”.
The YouTuber is preparing to face Tommy Fury in a grudge match in Saudi Arabia on Sunday.
But away from his final days of preparation, the Problem Child reignited his war of words with former super-middleweight world champ Froch, who previously labelled the YouTuber a “clown”.
Paul, who has won his six pro boxing fights against amateurs, tweeted: “Carl Froch mad because I made more in one year than he made his whole career. You want the payday. I get it.
“So let’s do this, fight Anderson Silva on my next card and if you get lucky and beat him, then we can step in the ring and you make your career payday. Let me know.”
But Froch, 45, was having none of it as the retired 33-2 fighter responded with a video on Twitter and threatened to send Paul “into f***ing orbit”.

When quizzed about the response from “The Cobra”, the American told BT Sport: “Carl, I like the hype, I like the s*** talk and think it’s great, but I want you to beat Anderson Silva.
“If you can beat Anderson Silva and prove that you have still got it then I guarantee you that I will fight you. But I don’t think that you’re gonna do that.
“You seem pretty desperate, you seem like you want money and that’s why you are talking all of this s*** randomly out of nowhere at your age.
“Beat Anderson Silva and we can talk.”

British heavyweight star Derek Chisora this week claimed that he believes the social media sensation would beat Froch, to which Paul said: “I agree.
“He needs to grow his name in the Us as not many people in the US know him.
“So for me to make big fights then they have to be a draw in the US as that’s where my fan base is.
“That’s why I said fight Anderson Silva and then we’ll see what’s up.”
