Jake Paul urged to stop \u201ccrazy\u201d fights with MMA fighters by ex-UFC champ Instagram\/jakepaulJake Paul has been urged to stop fighting MMA fighters in boxing by a former UFC champion who has had enough of the \u201ccrazy\u201d fights after his win over Mike Perry. Ever since he got into the world of boxing, Jake Paul has matched up with his fair share of former MMA fighters who are crossing over into a new sport. His win over \u2018Platinum\u2019 Mike Perry is the most recent addition to Jake\u2019s boxing record, as the YouTuber-turned-boxer scored a sixth-round TKO of the former UFC star. He\u2019s now got his eyes on that rescheduled fight with \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike Tyson in November, but that\u2019s not stopped other fighters from saying they want to fight Jake in the meantime. However, when it comes to his future fights, the social media star has been urged to stop fighting MMA fighters by former UFC champion Aljamain \u2018Funk Master\u2019 Sterling and focus just on boxers, especially if he wants to hold some gold himself. \u201cPaul, you\u2019ve proved you can box. You\u2019re getting better with each fight, now can we see you fight, like, boxers your size, your same reach, everything so there\u2019s no more lopsided stacked fight spectacle kind of thing because to me that\u2019s what it really is,\u201d the former UFC Bantamweight champion said in his July 22 YouTube video. Timestamp of 0:40 Sterling also questioned if Jake is to be blamed for taking these fights, or if his opponents are. \u201cI\u2019m just like, these guys need to realize he is actually athletic. He\u2019s actually skilled and he\u2019s only getting better because he\u2019s young, and he\u2019s a lot bigger than you!\u201d he continued. \u201cStop taking these crazy fights, it\u2019s like me trying to go out there, I\u2019m not fighting him in boxing if anything I would ever entertain, it would have to be MMA.\u201d As noted, the \u2018Problem Child\u2019 is lined up to fight Mike Tyson in November, but the WBA has also floated the idea of him vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. for a championship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
