Jake Paul has lived up to his nickname \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 ever since he broke into the boxing scene. The undefeated up-and-comer has KO\u2019d everyone he has fought and is no stranger to calling out seemingly anyone and everyone. In a social media kerfuffle on May 2, Paul responded to Usman making some disparaging comments towards boxing, claiming \u201clowlives\u201d destroyed the sport. Stepping in to defend the combat sport like a white knight wearing boxing gloves, Jake Paul immediately called out Usman, sparking a back and forth between the two that got a tad ugly. Our fans know who the best is because \u201cThe best fight The best\u201d not run &#038; hide and fight nobody\u2019s with those plastic belts &#038; call themselves \u201csuper champion\u201d.

Saul and I locked in a room, who makes it out alive?\u201d Kamaru Usman: \u201cboxing is dying\u201d Also Kamaru Usman: \u201cpls Canelo fight me for a payday\u201d https:\/\/t.co\/agker37m11 \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) April 28, 2022 For his part, despite the beef, Usman praised Paul\u2019s \u201cenergy,\u201d saying how he quite liked it. That didn\u2019t stop Paul from firing right back, however, in typical Problem Child fashion. \u201cMe and you locked in a room together\u2026sounds like a good time to me,\u201d he trolled with a winky face. \u201cI\u2019ll bring the fuzzy handcuffs.\u201d me and you locked in a room together\u2026 sounds like a good time to me \ud83d\ude09 I\u2019ll bring the fuzzy handcuffs https:\/\/t.co\/5dsB7YWqqz pic.twitter.com\/aB0UDHs754 \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) May 3, 2022 Paul also added a photoshopped image of Jose Caceres choking out Usman, mocking the mixed martial artist. So far, Usman hasn\u2019t responded to Paul\u2019s last remark, but it\u2019s clear that there\u2019s no love lost between the two. With Jake still looking for an opponent for his return to the ring in August, one might wonder if Kamaru would be willing to settle things there instead of on social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake Paul trolls UFC champ Kamaru Usman after \u201clocked room\u201d fight challenge Instagram\/Jakepaul\/usman84kgInfluencer Jake Paul and UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman got into a heated war of words over boxing with the YouTuber eventually being challenged to fight in a locked room.
