Francis Ngannou has let rip at Jake Paul following the biggest win of his boxing career.
On Friday night, the 27-year-old internet celebrity easily outpointed Mike Tyson, who was fighting as a professional for the first time in two decades, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
KSI, Conor McGregor, Terence Crawford, and a bunch of other fighters condemned Jake Paul for beating up a 58-year-old boxing legend – but one man took his reaction to the next level by threatening ‘The Problem Child’
Francis Ngannou aimed a scary tweet at Paul after he improved his pro boxing record to 11-1.
Francis Ngannou wants to slap Jake Paul
Mike Tyson helped Ngannou prepare for his boxing bouts with Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
‘The Predator’ clearly holds him in high regard, so he was understandably frustrated after watching him lose.
It appears he will take his anger out on Paul the next time he bumps into his PFL colleague
“Next time I see this Jake Paul guy I’m gonna give him 2 or 3 slaps,” Ngannou tweeted.
Paul received so much criticism from his fight that Ngannou’s threat wasn’t responded to directly.
Instead, the American hit back at all of his haters during a post-fight press conference.
“I tried to give the best fight I possibly could, but when someone’s just surviving in the ring, basically it’s hard to make it exciting,” Paul said.
“So I couldn’t really get him to engage me or slip shots and do something super cool or whatever, but I don’t care about what people have to say. They’re always going to have something to say and that it is what it is.”
What’s next for Jake Paul?
Jake Paul has built a career beating fellow influencers, undersized MMA fighters, and faded legends.
The one time he fought a boxer around his age and size, he suffered a decision defeat to Tommy Fury.
Still, he continues to talk about fighting the best and becoming a world champion in boxing.
Canelo Alvarez was the man he promised to call out before his win, but he opted against doing so when the moment arrived.
“Canelo needs me. I’m not even gonna call him out,” Paul said in the ring. “He knows he wants a payday and he knows where the money man’s at.”
During a subsequent post-fight press conference, Paul ruled out fighting UFC superstar Conor McGregor.
“Yeah, he’ll never do that though,” Paul said when asked about boxing McGregor.
“He knows. He’s not his own boss. It’s funny to say, ‘Yo, Conor McGregor is scared of Jake Paul and will never box him’ but it’s the f****** truth. Look at him go toe-to-toe with Nate Diaz, who was easy work for me.
“It was like a Monday sparring session to beat Nate Diaz’s a**, so he doesn’t ever want the smoke with me. It won’t ever happen.”
