Boxing legend Butterbean challenges Jake Paul to fight: \u201cLet\u2019s get it on!\u201d IG: Jake Paul \/ ButterbeanDespite being 55-years-old, boxing legend Eric \u2018Butterbean\u2019 Esch claims he\u2019s in the \u201cbest shape of his life\u201d and wants to end his career with a bang by doing one last fight against Jake Paul. Butterbean is one of the most iconic heavyweight boxers in existence. Not only did his career span more than 20 years between 1994 and 2015, but in that time, he also racked up 77 wins, 58 of which ended with a knockout. It\u2019s been a while since he last fought. However, after working on his fitness and claiming he\u2019s in the best shape of his life, he wants to have one last dance in the ring against Jake Paul. He laid down the challenge on TikTok. \u201cI\u2019m at fight weight,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd the big announcement is that I\u2019m going fight one last fight. It\u2019s going to be one year from now. Jake Paul, if you\u2019re ready, I\u2019m here for you my friend. Let\u2019s get it on. Me and you Jake Paul.\u201d Butterbean believes it would be an \u201cawesome fight\u201d and he\u2019s raring to go after Jake called him as a sideshow. \u201cAfter you said what you said about me in the magazine, I\u2019m ready to fight you. Are you ready? I don\u2019t think so.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve still heard nothing from Jake Paul. But hopefully one day he\u2019ll say \u2018Hey Butterbean, Let\u2019s do this!\u2019 because that\u2019s my goal,\u201d he added. \u201cI want to have one last fight against him or Mike Tyson. I don\u2019t care which.\u201d Butterbean posted a follow-up video confirming he hasn\u2019t heard back from Jake yet. However, his determination to make it happen hasn\u2019t wavered in the slightest, and he remains hopeful that it will happen. In the meantime, Jake\u2019s been linked to potential fights against Anderson Silva, Floyd Mayweather, Kamaru Usman, and more. So, if he does decide to accept Butterbean\u2019s challenge, it\u2019ll likely be on the back burner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
