Eric 'Butterbean' Esch believes that his feud with Jake Paul started when the YouTuber-Boxer-Prullenbak spoke to him at his lowest ebb.
After his victory over Nate Robinson at the undercard of the exhibition of Mike Tyson and Roy Jones JR in 2020, Paul was compared with Butterbean by a reporter in his press conference after the fight. But he almost seemed offended by the comparison and told everyone who compares the two with 'F – OFF'.
At the time, Esch tilted the scales at 500 pounds – on the occasion that he could even step on them while he got off his wheelchair. But now that 220 pounds lost, he wants to face Paul while he returns a ring after launching his own Butterbean taste of the new Lucky Energy Drink.
Butterbean explains the origin of Jake Paul Feud
For years Butterbean has been insisting that he could beat Jake Paul if the couple were fighting. He watched while the social media star beat his contemporary Mike Tyson last year, but still says he could win if the couple would meet.
And with bloody elbo -out chief Jordan Ellis in an exclusive chat, he explained: “I cried him out a long time ago and he just didn't want to respond …”
Esch was wheelchair-bound at the time and could not run, much less train for a boxing comeback. He is now considerably lighter and believes that he can fight again now that he is at a lower weight than he was during his boxing peak.
“He spoke waste about me when I was in a wheelchair,” Esch continued. “I didn't believe in myself. I couldn't do anything about it. When I got that feeling and was able to do things again, I thought,” I'm going to keep him forever. “
Butterbean is convinced that he can beat Jake Paul after losing 220LB
Now in the form of his life, Butterbean really believes that he can be the man to eliminate Paul and eliminate him for boxing. “I am full training just for Jake when he accepts my fight,” he continued.
“He has to fight against someone who can hit. Yes, I am a little older than most boys, but because I have been down for so long, I am back and I am better in shape than ever in the twenties. I know I can defeat him and he thinks he can beat me.
“That is what would make a great fight. He has taken a long way since he started. When he started, he was terrible, he was bad. He is actually a little better, but he still doesn't fight against the caliber of hunters I am. Hopefully he takes my challenge, the competition will step up and fight me.”
