    Jake Paul offered world title fight by undefeated P4P boxing superstar who asks ‘so what are we gonna do?’

    JAKE PAUL has been called out once more by undefeated boxing star Artur Beterbiev, who demands an answer.Paul, 27, defeated a much older Mike Tyson on Friday at the AT&T Stadium in Texas via unanimous decision after a controversial fight on Netflix.Jake Paul has been called out by boxing superstar Artur BeterbievCredit: GettyBeterbiev challenged Paul after his controversial victory over Mike TysonCredit: GettyBetewrbiev is demanding an answer after Paul’s sarcastic reactionCredit: PABesides the fact the stream crashed, many slammed the bout because the legendary Tyson’s advanced age of 58 was glaringly obvious.This marks another disputable boxing victory for the Problem Child, who has only faced one active professional boxer throughout his young four-year career in Tommy Fury who defeated him in 2023.Paul has so far beaten Tyson past his prime, YouTuber AnEsonGib, ex-basketball player Nate Robinson as well as MMA heroes Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz and Mike Perry.The YouTuber has also shared the ring with little-known boxers Andre August and Ryan Bourland, both of whom he beat.Read More on BoxingThat led to a challenge by Beterbiev, 39, who wants to see how Paul would fare against a legitimate boxer.In fact, the Russian bruiser offered him a shot at his undisputed WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO light heavyweight world titles on Instagram after the Tyson fight.Beterbiev posted on his story: “[Paul] What can you do in ring against the current undisputed champion? Just know that I’m always open to any suggestions.”Paul responded with a sarcastic tweet without actually answering the challenge.Most read in BoxingBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSThe undefeated top-five pound-for-pound star, who’s won all of his 21 fights, would be a huge step up in class after the social media star’s previous opponents – most of whom weren’t even boxers.Paul tweeted: “Just seen this….top 5 pound for pound fighter in the world calling me out. Hahahahahaha. 4 years in and I run this sport.”I sparred Artur Beterbiev and it’s by far the worst thing I’ve experienced in life Beterbiev, though, doubled down on his demand insisting it is time for the controversial YouTuber to have “serious challenges”.The undisputed champ responded: “After four years it’s time to have serious challenges. Didn’t notice your acceptance or rejection. So what are we gonna do?”Beterbiev is currently fourth the Ring Magazine’s pound-for-pound rankings after winning 20 fights via knockout. Paul vs Tyson shocking punch statsTHE punch stats from Mike Tyson’s defeat to Jake Paul made for “sad” reading.Veteran Iron Mike, 58, started strongly enough in his Netflix boxing fight with the former YouTuber.But he simply ran out of gas within the first few minutes of the eight-round contest.In the 16 minutes of action, the former undisputed heavyweight world champion landed just 18 punches – averaging just 2.25 successful hits per round.In total, he only attempted 97, meaning he made contact with just 18 per cent.By comparison, Paul, 27, threw a whopping 278 punches – nearly 200 more than his ageing opponent – but still only landed 78 for a success rate of 28 per cent despite his opponent barely moving.His most explosive round came in the third when the victorious Problem Child attempted 44 punches and connected with 16 of them.However, a woeful fifth round saw just four punches landed between the pair as the quality failed to live up to the hype and Paul refused to go for the knockout.
