Jake Paul and his brother Logan have taken over the world of boxing by frequently feuding with mixed martial artists and other YouTubers, choosing to settle their beef in the ring. With an undefeated record \u2013 including a recent victory over former UFC fighter Ben Askren \u2013 Jake is always down for a fight, and issued a challenge to Tekashi 6ix9ine in an Instagram Q&#038;A on May 18. In response to a question about whether he wants to duke it out with 6ix9ine, Paul wrote that he wants to, because \u201cHe deserves to get his ass beat, and I want to do it for all the people he\u2019s disrespected.\u201d That said, Jake doesn\u2019t even believe the fight would happen \u2013 but if it did, he wouldn\u2019t even break a sweat. \u201cHonestly, [it] would be too easy and a 30-second fight,\u201d he added. \u201cHe wouldn\u2019t show up to the ring on the day of the fight, but yes, I would love to knock him out.\u201d 6ix9ine didn\u2019t take Paul\u2019s remarks lying down. In a reply to a screengrab of Paul\u2019s message, the rapper claimed, \u201cI think he\u2019s on steroids like his security guard who passed away.\u201d The comment was quickly spotted and saved by DJ Akademiks, who posted it to his own Instagram account. View this post on Instagram This remark was a reference to Shamir Bolivar, also known as Shadow, who passed away before Paul\u2019s fight with Ben Askren. The YouTuber would later dedicate the fight to Bolivar. Interestingly enough, Bolivar also served as a bodyguard for 6ix9ine and reportedly got involved in a domestic violence situation between the artist and Sara Molina where he \u201cput hands on\u201d Tekashi. So far, The Problem Child has yet to respond to the Brooklyn rapper\u2019s comments \u2013 but given how personal they are, it\u2019s looking like this feud is only just beginning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tekashi 6ix9ine claims Jake Paul is on steroids in response to fight challenge Instagram\/6ix9ine\/JakepaulRapper Daniel Hernandez, better known as Tekashi 6ix9ine, has responded to a boxing challenge made by YouTuber Jake Paul \u2013 and while the two may not be stepping into the ring together, the gloves are definitely off.
