Jake Paul hits back at Daniel Dubois after world heavyweight champion calls him out

Jake Paul has now been called out by IBF world heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois following his controversial win over Mike Tyson last Friday.

The YouTube star produced an uninspiring performance as he comprehensively defeated his 58-year-old opponent in eight two-minute rounds at AT&T Stadium, Texas.

As expected, Mike Tyson had a brief burst of energy in the first round before fatigue finally set in, with the former heavyweight champion throwing just 97 punches in total.

Jake Paul has since been called out by every fighter under the sun, with murderous puncher Daniel Dubois now throwing his name into the mix.

Jake Paul weighs his options after beating Mike Tyson

Around 70,000 fans attended the nonsensical showdown between Paul and Tyson, with more than 60 million people from around the world watching Netflix's first-ever live boxing event.

And so it's perhaps not surprising that a plethora of active and retired boxers have drafted the 27-year-old, hoping to cut themselves a piece of the lucrative pie.

Undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev – a typically stoic character by nature – was one of the first to add his name to the conversation.

The 39-year-old is coming off a monumental victory over Dmitry Bivol, yet he is rarely known for speaking out on social media.

Nevertheless, the prolific knockout artist essentially earned a response from Paul, who more or less averted the potential defeat.

But now, after being drafted by Dubois, 'The Problem Child' has shockingly expressed interest in a showdown with the heavyweight champion, claiming he will contact Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian.

“But f*** it…I'll let Nakisa talk to Frankie [Frank] Warren [Dubois’ promoter] and put you in line for the throne. Unlike Artur, you at least have a few thousand fans.”

Man has been boxing for 12 years, had over 100 fights between amateur and professional and fought on my undercard…hahaha

Jake Paul looks to meet Daniel Dubois instead of Artur Beterbiev

Paul, on the other hand, has only had one heavyweight outing and actually seemed significantly undersized for his weight.

Still, the American is seemingly more prepared to face Dubois than Beterbiev at 175 pounds, a weight that seems more natural for him.

However, neither matchup is likely to happen as Paul is at a level below both fighters.
