But, a fight with Jake would only happen under one unique condition. Since stepping into the boxing world, Jake Paul has verbally sparred with some of the sport\u2019s greatest-ever fighters. He\u2019s gone after the likes of Floyd Mayweather, Saul \u2018Canelo\u2019 Alvarez, Carl Froch, and Tyson Fury, all in a bid to create some attention. He will, finally, step into the ring and come face-to-face with a living boxing legend in July, as he takes on \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike Tyson live on Netflix. The \u2018Problem Child\u2019 does have other suitors lining up too. Despite having received callouts from the world of mixed martial arts, it\u2019s an offer from Prince Naseem Hamed \u2013 the former Featherweight and Bantamweight champion, who has a 36-1 record \u2013 that looks pretty interesting. The 50-year-old stepped away from boxing in 2002, and has since cited chronic problems with his hands as the reason why. He never officially retired, however, and would be up for fighting Jake if the money from the fight went to charity. \u201cYou need to understand something, fighting for a country for somebody to do well, for somebody to raise money, an obscene amount of money, then I could think about that. And I could get out of bed and do some serious training and get fit and maybe do it. For that, yes.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s the only time that really deep down in my heart I\u2019d want to fight, to do something on that basis [to raise money],\u201d the British boxing icon told TalkSport. Hamed noted that he\u2019d likely raise money for Yemen \u2013 where his parents are from \u2013 and Palestine. \u201cSo I\u2019d love to go into training and, you never know, if we could do like me, and my three sons all on one card in the Middle East, that would be one of my dreams,\u201d he added, noting that he never officially retired. Stranger things have certainly happened, and, as we\u2019re seeing with Tyson, Jake is coaxing legends into fighting one last time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boxing legend open to Jake Paul fight on one unique condition Instagram\/JakePaulBoxing legend Prince Naseem Hamed is up for fighting Jake Paul in the future as he considers coming out of retirement.
