Jake Paul claims he\u2019s done fighting \u201cold dudes\u201d but younger fighters are \u201cscared\u201d YouTube: The SchmoJake Paul says he wants to move on from fighting \u201cold dudes\u201d after being called out by former UFC star Donald \u2018Cowboy\u2019 Cerrone. As Jake Paul has risen up the ranks of combat sports, he\u2019s constantly been lambasted for his choice of opponents. Some critics have suggested that he hasn\u2019t fought a real boxer, while others have focused on him fighting former MMA fighters who are beyond their prime. The Problem Child has attempted to make fights to respond to these criticisms, but they\u2019ve been called off due to different issues. His clash with Hasim Rahman Jr was canceled due to issues with the weigh-in while Tommy Fury couldn\u2019t get into the United States to fight Jake. As he looks towards 2023 and a supposed return to the ring in mid-Feburary, Jake has already been called out by a few former UFC fighters. However, it appears he\u2019s moved on from fights with \u201cold dudes\u201d for now. Jake Paul responds to Donald Cerrone fight call-out Jake spoke with MMA YouTuber The Schmo on January 2 and was quizzed about a possible fight with Donald \u2018Cowboy\u2019 Cerrone after the former UFC Lightweight contender said he\u2019d be open to fighting Jake. \u201cI don\u2019t know, I\u2019m kind of tired of beating these old dudes up like that, you know what I\u2019m saying,\u201d the YouTuber-turned-boxer told the MMA journalist. \u201cSo, I\u2019m just trying to get someone in there who is younger, but they\u2019re all scared honestly. They\u2019re just trying to protect their records, Schmo. You know, you know.\u201d As noted, Jake has been tipped to return to the ring in mid-February, with a long-awaited clash against Tommy Fury potentially finally happening as the Fury camp have said it\u2019s still on the cards. It remains to be seen who\u2019ll be opposite Jake when he next takes to the ring, but if he gets his wish, it\u2019ll be someone in their prime or at least approaching it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
