Former UFC champion Michael Bisping has lashed out at Jake Paul and encouraged him to box his former foe Anderson Silva.
The one thing weâve all come to learn about Jake Paul is that itâs hard to predict his next move. From boxing to YouTube and beyond, heâs spent the last few years keeping everyone guessing - and with that mystery comes a sense of intrigue.
âThe Problem Childâ has evolved into a true enigma of combat sports and itâs difficult to picture the train slowing down in the immediate future. If anything, he may just be getting started.
His wins over Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren helped to elevate his stock with the knockout over Woodley last December being particularly impressive. Alas, the attention span of the general public can be limited, which is why heâs already started looking for his next opponent.
Tommy Fury and Nate Diaz are among the names in the running but in recent weeks, itâs been Michael Bisping who has jumped to the front of the line.
In the latest development of their blossoming feud, âThe Countâ took to social media and called Paul out for coming up with a series of demands ahead of them potentially squaring off.
âJake The Pretender Paul @jakepaul first it was fight me, then was show me you can get licensed and now itâs show me youâre not under contract. Mate I wouldnât give you the steam off my p***.Just accept the Anderson Silva fight which I KNOW for a fact has been offered. Jake???â
The promoter focus
Jake Paul is here, there and everywhere right now and thatâs the best thing imaginable for his brand.
In addition to his exploits inside the squared circle, the 25-year-old has also been doing some promoter work on behalf of Most Valuable Promotions.
Next weekend, heâll be in New York City to cheer on Amanda Serrano as she faces Katie Taylor in arguably the biggest fight in the history of womenâs boxing.
From there, the countdown to his proposed next outing in August will begin, and Michael Bispingâs time to shine may arrive once more.
