BOXING legend Antonio Tarver called on Mike Tyson to set up a fight between him and YouTuber Jake Paul.
Paul is 5-0 winning a number of fights, incliding comprehensively knocking out retired NBA star Nate Robinson and defeating Tyron Woodley TWICE.
But Tarver – who famously ended the reign of Roy Jones Jr – was not impressed by the performance.
And he wants to fight the 25-year-old internet sensation and stop the new age of outsiders venturing into the ring.
Tarver, 53, wrote on Instagram back in 2020: “I really want to kick @jakepaul ass for what he did to @naterobinson last night and rid boxing of these clowns once and for all.
“He fought a complete novice so fighting me shouldn’t be a problem… @miketyson make this fight.”

Tarver last fought in 2015 with a split-decision defeat against Steve Cunningham.
He has been training Evander Holyfield, 59, helping the ex-heavyweight champion keep up his fitness.
It inspired Tarver to think about lacing up the gloves again, with Jones’ trainer revealing the pair have unfinished business.
Paul, on the other hand, is focussing on bringing MMA fighters over to boxing as he called out UFC star Conor McGregor and Dillon Danis.
