Eddie Hearn admits he backed out of Jake Paul fight offer to avoid embarrassing knockout YouTube: IFL TVBoxing promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed that he considered calling out Jake Paul for a fight, but changed his mind after he realized what the outcome would be. As he\u2019s gotten more and more ingrained in the boxing world, Jake Paul has had plenty of people lining up to fight him, with many hoping that they can be the one to knock him out and end his undefeated streak. To this point, the YouTuber-turned-boxer has fought athletes who aren\u2019t prototypical boxers \u2013 even though he\u2019ll happily argue that Tyron Woodley\u2019s status as a UFC Champion shows he can mix it with some dangerous fighters. Jake has already run-in with those outside of the ring as well, getting involved in a heated argument with fellow promoter Eddie Hearn prior to the Amanda Serrano vs Katie Taylor super fight, with Hearn labeling the social media star as an \u201caverage boxer.\u201d Well, following on from that, the face of the Matchroom Boxing brand claimed that he has considered calling Jake out for a fight, as he weighed up his prospects against other promoters. \u201cI thought about calling Jake Paul out but, then again, I would get chinned and that would be embarrassing,\u201d Hearn told Talksport, saying he\u2019d get into the ring if the money was right. While he would take on a fight, Hearn isn\u2019t making any wild claims about his skills and suggesting he might be the next Muhammad Ali or Mike Tyson. The promoter added that, really, he \u201ccan\u2019t fight\u201d despite being around the sport his whole life. So, if you were hoping that Jake and Eddie would continue their feud throughout the summer and settle things in the ring in August, well, bad luck. It is still unknown as to who Jake will be fighting in his return to action, with plenty of options on the table. Though, it is sure to be fascinating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
