Jake Paul responds as title fight on the cards against former boxing champion YouTube: FULL SEND PodcastJake Paul has addressed the idea of him fighting for a boxing title after the WBA said they\u2019re \u201copen\u201d to him taking on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in the near future. Since getting into the fight game, Jake Paul has made clear that he\u2019s got a few big goals, including fighting big names and competing for titles. To this point, he\u2019s not really done, as his record is full of wins over former MMA fighters and a few regional boxers. He was supposed to fight \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike Tyson back in July, but that has been rescheduled for mid-November. In his place, the \u2018Problem Child\u2019 defeated \u2018Platinum\u2019 Mike Perry pretty convincingly. Even though Perry is another former MMA fighter, it did spark a suggestion from WBA president Gilberto Mendoza that he could fight for a title sooner rather than later. Mendoza revealed that his board is \u201copen\u201d to Jake fighting former Middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. for a title. Now, Jake has addressed that idea. \u201cI want the toughest competition in the world, and by the way I\u2019m still on a path to world championships behind the scenes,\u201d the YouTuber-turned-boxer said during his appearance on the August 6 episode of the FULL SEND podcast. \u201cThe WBA wants to set up me versus Julio Cesar Chavez for the WBA belt, so that could very easily be a world championship fight right now. I\u2019m four years into this and everyone is like do this, do that, do that \u2013 relax, take a breath. I\u2019m gonna get to all of these things and fight all the hardest people.\u201d Timestamp of 33:40 Jake added that he isn\u2019t \u201cafraid\u201d of fighting anyone and is looking to \u201cchallenge\u201d himself with his opponents. \u201cIf I lose, then I lose, but at the end of the day, I\u2019m not afraid of anyone,\u201d he added. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has been trying to call out UFC champion Alex \u2018Poatan\u2019 Pereira. That has been shut down by UFC boss Dana White, saying he doesn\u2019t give any thought to Jake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
