On Friday, November 15, 2024, Jake Paul faced off against Mike Tyson at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The fight, eagerly anticipated by thousands of fans, ended with a victory for the YouTuber-turned-boxer.
Despite previous criticisms, Mike Tyson managed to go the full eight rounds, avoiding a knockout from the young boxer. Concerns had been raised about Tyson’s age and health issues, but the outcome surprised many.
Following his win, Jake Paul expressed his intention to take on big names in the boxing world. The YouTuber mentioned his interest in fighting the Mexican champion, Saul “Canelo” Álvarez.
However, a new challenger has emerged, causing a stir in the boxing community: Artur Beterbiev, the undisputed light heavyweight champion.
Recently, Artur Beterbiev made an unexpected offer to Jake Paul, proposing a fight for his world titles. The Russian champion, holding the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO belts, has shown interest in facing the American.
Beterbiev’s proposal was seen as a direct challenge to Paul, who quickly responded on his social media.
On his official “X” account (formerly Twitter), Jake Paul reacted to Beterbiev’s offer.
“Just seen this… Top 5 pound-for-pound fighter in the world calling me out. Hahahahahaha. 4 years in and I run this sport,” Paul replied.
Artur Beterbiev has stated he is willing to fight Paul. The Russian champion even suggested that a match against the influencer could be an interesting opportunity.
However, Beterbiev is expected to face Dmitry Bivol again in a highly anticipated rematch by boxing fans.
As for Jake Paul, he has not yet confirmed his next move after his recent victory over Mike Tyson.
The interest from Artur Beterbiev has added a new possibility to the future of the controversial boxer.
Nonetheless, it seems Paul has his sights set on a high-profile fight against Canelo Álvarez.
