Jake Paul: “A Fight with Badou Jack Is Very Likely”

Influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul shared his thoughts on a potential showdown with WBC cruiserweight champion Badou Jack.

I’d say it’s very likely. The circumstances just have to line up — he has a fight scheduled right now, and he needs to win it.

People always have something to say. But that’s not the kind of attention I’m chasing. At the end of the day, I just want to become a world champion, win fights, and live my life,” said Jake.

Jake Paul (12-1, 7 KO) is currently scheduled for an exhibition bout on November 14 against WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis — however, due to Davis’ latest legal troubles, the fight is now in jeopardy.

A full overview of the situation and potential replacement opponents for Davis can be found here.

Meanwhile, Badou Jack (29-3-3, 17 KO) is set for a December 13 rematch against Noel Mikaelian.
