Over the last few years, as he\u2019s continued to make his mark on the world of boxing, Jake Paul has gotten plenty of criticism and praise from boxers \u2013 both active and inactive. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has had a few of these inactive boxers downplay his achievements, suggesting that they\u2019d be open to fighting him on a few different conditions. Former boxing world champion Amir Khan offered to step in for Mike Tyson, provided he and Jake were within 20 pounds of each other. While that is an unusual condition for a fight, it isn\u2019t the strangest put forward to Jake. Oleksandr Usyk\u2019s trainer, Sergey Lapin, has suggested that the undisputed heavyweight champion could be open to it with an unusual condition. \u201cCan you imagine Usyk and Jon Jones fighting to prove they\u2019re the baddest man on the planet? Or maybe it\u2019s a third fight with Anthony Joshua in the MMA cage. Maybe it\u2019s Jake Paul at cruiserweight, although Usyk would need to fight him with one hand behind his back to make it fair,\u201d Lapin told Betway when asked about a potential next fight for Usyk after his rematch with Tyson Fury. Before reigning over the heavyweight division, Usyk was the deadliest cruiserweight on the planet \u2013 so it wouldn\u2019t exactly be a new challenge for the Ukrainian fighter. In fact, Usyk even urged Jake to stop boxing not too long ago. Despite having an MMA contract too, the \u2018Problem Child\u2019 has continued to state that he\u2019s focused on becoming a world champion in boxing. He has a fight with \u2018Platinum\u2019 Mike Perry on July 20 before he can turn his eyes to a rescheduled bout with \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike Tyson. So, who knows what could come next?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boxing world champ open to Jake Paul fight with one bizarre condition YouTube: Jake PaulBoxing\u2019s heavyweight king, Oleksandr Usyk, is seemingly open to a fight with Jake Paul, but that would come with one big, bizarre condition.
