Jake Paul is not one to shy away from responding to challenges, especially when they come from notable figures like Tyreek Hill, Neeraj Goyat, and Tommy Fury.
Currently gearing up for his upcoming fight slated for this Saturday, March 2nd, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the 27-year-old Paul is set to face off against club fighter Ryan Bourland.
Bourland, aged 35, brings a respectable record to the ring, having participated in 19 professional fights and securing victories in 17 of them, six by knockout.
Nicknamed the ‘Problem Child’, Jake Paul boasts a record of 8 wins, with 5 of them coming by way of knockout, and has only suffered one loss in his career.
Recently, as the anticipation builds for his bout with Bourland, other contenders have thrown their hats into the ring, expressing their eagerness to take on Jake Paul.
Tyreek Hill, renowned as one of the top wide receivers in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins, has also voiced his interest in stepping into the world of MMA or boxing. In a conversation with Bob Menery on the ‘Fully Tilted’ podcast, Hill remarked, “I think my first fight needs to be like Jake Paul or something like that.”
Neeraj Goyat, a seasoned Indian professional boxer boasting 18 wins and 4 losses, took to Instagram to challenge Paul directly, stating, “I am a man of my word, I’m in Puerto Rico. Where are you, Jake Paul?”
Then there’s Tommy Fury, the fighter responsible for handing Jake Paul his sole defeat. Speculation abounds regarding a potential rematch between the two, with both sides accusing the other of avoiding the ring.
Ahead of his upcoming match this weekend, Paul addressed the chatter from Tyreek, Neeraj, and Fury on ‘X’, highlighting his readiness for any challenge:
“All these guys yap yap yap.
Tyreek – you would get mauled in the ring by me. Lion kills a cheetah every time in a small space. Nowhere to run. Come on, brother.
Neeraj – brave for coming to PR all the way from India. But you’re too small, brother. One hand is all I need.
Tommy – you’ve been running for a year now. I’m ready anytime. Offered you 8 figures. You and daddy think it’s worth more… okay.”
With the impending showdown between Paul and Bourland looming, the question remains: will you be tuning in? Do you have any predictions for the outcome? And who would you like to see Jake Paul take on next in the ring?
