Jake Paul claims boxing is \u201ceasier\u201d than MMA after being called out for easy fights YouTube: Jake PaulSocial media star Jake Paul believes boxers are \u201ceasier\u201d to fight than MMA stars as he remains serious about wanting to challenge himself against some of the world\u2019s best. Despite many critics doubting his skills at first, Jake Paul has managed to make a splash in the boxing scene \u2013 both inside, and out of, the ring. The YouTuber is currently undefeated with a 5-0 record, and wants to finish with a clean 10-0 record when it\u2019s all said and done. His last win, a devastating knockout victory over Tyron Woodley, reinforced that he has the power to match some pretty competent fighters, but as ever, he\u2019s eyeing up a massive leap \u2013 and is serious about a meeting with Saul \u2018Canelo\u2019 Alvarez. Before he gets close to that point, however, he\u2019s going to have to keep racking up wins. And while some might want him to fight \u2018real\u2019 boxers, Jake is open to anything. The YouTuber-turned-boxer appeared on Talksport\u2019s Breakfast show on February 7, alongside boxing promoter Eddie Hearn \u2013 who had been the one to urge Jake to take on \u2018real\u2019 boxers originally. Jake noted that he tried to meet that demand with the Tommy Fury fight, but the Brit pulled out on injury grounds, but he\u2019s also happy to fight MMA stars, as he believes they\u2019re a bit more challenging to take on. \u201cI think boxers are easier to fight than MMA fighters. They are more predictable and don\u2019t hit as hard and they can\u2019t take as big of a punch,\u201d Jake stated, though, Hearn immediately disagreed, questioning if he was serious or not. \ud83d\ude21 \u201cI tried to fight a real boxer & he faked an injury, that\u2019s @TommyTNTFury!\u201d \ud83e\udd47 \u201cI know I can become a world champ as I spar against world champions.\u201d \ud83d\udc4a \u201cI want to prove everyone wrong and I am going to just for fun!\u201d@JakePaul has BIG ambitions for his career in boxing \ud83e\udd4a pic.twitter.com\/F6KDnpUp6S \u2014 talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) February 7, 2022 The YouTuber further made the point that he is serious about what he says when it comes to boxing, and even wants Hearn to promote the fight between himself and Canelo \u2013 should it happen. His take on boxers being \u2018easier\u2019 to fight than MMA stars will, undoubtedly, be debated until he fights someone who has dedicated their life to the sweet science. However, it\u2019s not like he hasn\u2019t got any suiters \u2013 both Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Mairis Briedis, boxing world champions in their respective divisions, want to face him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
