Jake Paul calls out Floyd Mayweather for ‘real pro fight’ as YouTuber claims ‘he needs me more than I need him’


JAKE PAUL aimed insults at Floyd Mayweather as he called out the boxer for a ‘real’ professional fight.

The Youtuber, 24, is preparing to take on UFC star Tyron Woodley on August 30 – his fourth professional boxing bout.

And Paul is keen to have a go at Mayweather next, but only if certain conditions are met.

Per USATODAY, he said: “If it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen.

“But right now, my focus is doing real, professional fights. I’m not trying to do any exhibitions.

“So if he wants to do a real pro fight at a real weight, I’m down. But I don’t want to do money fights with an old guy.

“He needs me more than I need him.”

Mayweather drew with Jake’s brother Logan in an exhibition contest in June.

The former world champion reportedly took home a purse of around £72million on that occasion, but was also left fuming at Jake Paul after the younger sibling stole his hat.

Paul has proven his knock-out power in his three fights so far, against fellow Youtuber AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson and MMA grappler Ben Askren.

But he has never stepped into the ring against a proper pro boxer, let alone one as accomplished as former pound-for-pound king Mayweather.

But it seems he is intent on riling up Mayweather once again by calling him out.
