Kamaru\u2019s manager also taunted Jake to \u201ccome and get it.\u201d Mike Tyson is a massive fan of YouTube boxing. He believes it\u2019s the \u201cbiggest help\u201d the sport has had in years. It\u2019s no surprise, then, that he also thinks Jake Paul is good for boxing and has nothing but kind words to say about him and his brother, Logan Paul. But while Jake\u2019s haters would love to see him take on someone as formidable as UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman, Mike told Henry Cejudo that he \u201cwants to see it\u201d because not only would it be entertaining, but it would also be extremely profitable for both fighters. \u201cCould you ever see a fight with Kamaru and Jake Paul align in boxing in the future?\u201d asked Henry, who laughed at the fact they were talking about him once again. \u201cI want to see that sh*t,\u201d replied Mike. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be so much f**king money, how can he turn it down? That\u2019s way more money than\u2026 it\u2019s twice or three times as much money [than he earns] in the UFC. So, how could he turn it down?\u201d Ali Abdelaziz, who has managed several UFC champions, including Kamaru, was also a guest on the show. \u201cMe, Kamaru, and Dana discussed that last Monday. We had a meeting, actually. We had dinner,\u201d he said. \u201cIf Jake Paul wants to get his a** whipped by an African lion, he can come and get it.\u201d New release of Hotboxin with my brother @aliabdelaziz000 who never pulls his punches back!

Kamaru teased the idea of \u201cbeating the sh**\u201d out of \u201cone of these internet guys.\u201d Jake responded by saying, \u201cChallenge accepted,\u201d although Kamaru played it down and told him to \u201cstay on [his] side.\u201d However, based on his manager\u2019s latest comments, it seems like Kamaru might be more open to the idea now. Jake hasn\u2019t responded yet, but it will be interesting to see what he has to say and whether a fight comes to fruition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Tyson wants Jake Paul to fight Kamaru Usman: \u201cHow could he turn it down?\u201d Instagram: Jake PaulMike Tyson told former UFC Flyweight Champion and Bantamweight Champion Henry Cejudo that he \u201cwants to see\u201d Jake Paul take on Kamaru Usman in the boxing ring.
