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.

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.
