Ever since he defeated Anderson \u2018The Spider\u2019 Silva at the end of October, Jake Paul has been on the hunt for his next opponent. While Tommy Fury appeared to be in the frame for that, \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 has gone after a few other names as well. Rising UFC star Paddy \u2018The Baddy\u2019 Pimblett has gotten into Jake\u2019s crosshairs, with the two going back and forth in some trash talk. It even got to a point where Jake offered the Scouser $1 million for a sparring session. Pimblett, who isn\u2019t exactly renowned for his boxing skills, was open to making it happen while he\u2019s in Las Vegas for UFC 282. Jake, though, wants to do it in Puerto Rico when he\u2019s in his training camp. However, it appears the two have finally set a date for when they\u2019ll come face to face. Jake Paul and Paddy Pimblett face to face date set That was revealed by Pimblett in his latest YouTube vlog, documenting his pre-fight process in getting ready to travel from Liverpool to Vegas. He addressed Jake\u2019s claims about an apparent sparring session throughout the video, tipping his cap to the YouTuber-turned-boxer for what he\u2019s achieved. He also confirmed Jake\u2019s claims that they\u2019ll be meeting in January. \u201cThe only thing with Jake Paul is that he wants it on his terms, he\u2019ll never have it with someone on an even playing field,\u201d Pimblett said, noting he\u2019s never really been a boxer. \u201cJake Paul is booked in to do my podcast on the 5th of January. He\u2019s not stupid, he knows what he\u2019s doing. Give him his due, he\u2019s quite smart.\u201d Timestamp of 3:10 There\u2019s been no indication that the two will square off soon, especially given that Pimblett is focusing on a big-time pay-per-view clash. It\u2019s certainly something that fans are eager to see, and both men are all about creating content, so maybe we\u2019ll see something happen when they come face to face.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake Paul &#038; Paddy Pimblett face-off finally set as fight rumors persist YouTube: Mola\/Jake PaulJake Paul and Paddy \u2018The Baddy\u2019 Pimblett have seemingly inked a date for when they\u2019ll come face to face, but it still remains to be seen if they\u2019ll actually square off in a fight.
