Chael Sonnen claims fighters are ducking Jake Paul as he\u2019s \u201cmost feared\u201d boxer Instagram: Jake PaulFormer UFC star Chael Sonnen doubled down on his belief that Jake Paul is the \u201cmost feared man in boxing,\u201d and explained why that\u2019s reportedly led to him taking on Tommy Fury. While he may not have dedicated his whole life to the sweet science, Jake Paul has comfortably asserted himself within the world of boxing \u2013 both as a competitor in the ring and a promoter outside of it. The YouTuber-turned-boxer is returning to action in August, reportedly against long-time rival Tommy Fury, even though he claimed he had no interest in rearranging that matchup after their last scheduled fight was called off at the last minute. While a few fighters have registered their interest in fighting Jake, all signs now point to him and Tommy finally settling their beef. That, according to Chael Sonnen, is a result of Jake being the \u201cmost feared man in boxing\u201d right now. The former UFC star, who has regularly praised Jake and his brother Logan, discussed the reported matchup in his June 8 video, where he once again gave Jake the tag of being feared by other boxers. \u201cIs it just a case that there\u2019s nobody else willing to do it? That\u2019s how I feel,\u201d Sonnen said about Jake seemingly having to fight Tommy rather than someone else. \u201cJake Paul is the most feared man in boxing. There is nobody in boxing with a meaningful record or any kind of name reputation that has called him out, and they\u2019re hoping they don\u2019t get their phone to ring. They don\u2019t want that.\u201d The MMA analyst noted that fighting Jake would give most boxers \u201ceverything that they\u2019ve ever dreamed about\u201d when it comes to interest and pay, but \u201cthey don\u2019t want it.\u201d Timestamp of 1:20 When it comes to the fight with Tommy actually happening though, Sonnen says that the audience will have to make their own minds up on that front, given the Fury camp were the ones who pulled out last time. As of now, the fight hasn\u2019t been confirmed and it\u2019s still a game of wait and see. Though, there is plenty of interest in it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
