Jake Paul title fight is on the cards against former boxing champion YouTube: BS w\/ Jake PaulA world title fight has been floated for Jake Paul, as he could take on a former boxing champion for some gold after scoring another knockout win over \u2018Platinum\u2019 Mike Perry. Ever since he got into the boxing game, Jake Paul hasn\u2019t been shy about letting people know what he wants to achieve. The \u2018Problem Child\u2019 has constantly said he wants to fight some of the best boxers in the world, and he\u2019s got his eyes on a world title too. Some critics have urged him to knock those ambitions down a peg, suggesting he\u2019s not world championship material. However, he has had some legitimate carrots dangled in front of him over the last few years. The WBC had offered to rank Jake had he beaten Hasim Rahman Jr and now the WBA is floating a possible title fight for the YouTuber-turned-boxer against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Yes, that\u2019s right, WBA President Gilberto Mendoza has stated that he\u2019s open to a title fight between Jake and Cesar Chavez Jr following the social media star\u2019s knockout win over Mike Perry. \u201cBig congratulations to Jake Paul and Most Valuable Promotions on the show but also on the new fresh and innovative perspective you offer to the sport of boxing! Love what you do!\u201d the WBA President tweeted. \u201cI am not against a Jake Paul v. @jcchavezjr for a championship\u2026\u201d Naturally, boxing fans flooded Mendoza\u2019s replies with disdain for that idea. \u201cIf that happens, that\u2019s the day boxing belts truly become meaningless,\u201d one said. \u201cThis tweet is a genuine insult to all boxers,\u201d another added. As noted, Jake believes he\u2019ll be a world champion in 2025, but he\u2019s got no ranking points from any of his fights. So, it would take something like the WBA\u2019s idea to get him in contention. He has been tipped to fight Cesar Chavez Jr before too, with some claims being made that he\u2019s the new backup option for his upcoming fights \u2013 including the rescheduled bout with Mike Tyson. The former Middleweight world champion defeated Uriah Hall on the undercard of Jake\u2019s win over Mike Perry, but hasn\u2019t been at a world championship level for years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
