Jake Paul laughs off Artur Beterbiev's challenge for a fight
On Friday, November 15, 2024, Jake Paul faced off against Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The eagerly anticipated fight ended with a win for the YouTuber-turned-boxer, who dominated the eight rounds despite concerns about Tyson’s age and health.
Tyson, who has long been a legend in the ring, surprised many by lasting the full distance, avoiding a knockout despite the clear age difference and his recent health struggles.
Following his victory, Paul wasted no time in discussing his future plans. He expressed a desire to take on top names in boxing, including Mexican champion Saul “Canelo” Álvarez, whose name has long been associated with the sport’s elite.
But just as Paul was setting his sights on Canelo, a new challenger emerged in the form of Artur Beterbiev, the undisputed light heavyweight champion. Beterbiev, who holds the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO titles, made a bold move by offering Paul a chance to fight for his world titles.
Responding swiftly on social media, Paul tweeted: "Just seen this… Top 5 pound-for-pound fighter in the world calling me out. Hahahahahaha. 4 years in and I run this sport."
Beterbiev, while offering an intriguing challenge, is expected to first face Dmitry Bivol in a highly anticipated rematch that has fans buzzing.
As for Paul, while he hasn’t confirmed his next fight, his recent win over Tyson has only fueled speculation about whether he’ll take on Canelo or entertain the challenge from Beterbiev.
With both big names in the mix, the future of Jake Paul in the boxing world looks more uncertain—and exciting—than ever.
