Having just beaten the legend Mike Tyson by unanimous decision, Jake Paul received an offer from Daniel Dubois, current holder of the IBF heavyweight belt, for a fight for the world champion title. The YouTuber-boxer accepted the challenge.
After beating a legend from the past, Jake Paul now takes on the challenge of facing a… very current champion. Victorious over Mike Tyson (58 years old) by unanimous decision, on the night of Friday November 15 to Saturday November 16, the American was call out by Daniel Dubois (27 years old), current holder of the IBF heavyweight belt.
“Stand in line”
This Tuesday, Jake Paul published a screenshot of the message sent to him by Daniel Dubois on Instagram, where the YouTuber-boxer is followed by 28.7 million people. “Hi Jake, great work this weekend, but how about fighting for the real title of heavyweight champion of the world? It’s Daniel Dubois challenging you. Let’s go,” wrote the British boxer. Jake Paul responded with a photo of a queue ticket machine, accompanied by the message “get in line.”
He then supported his point about Jake Paul facing Tyron Woodley, Editor's note)… hahaha But I don't care… I'm going to ask Nakisa (Bidarian, his manager) to talk to Frankie Warren (Daniel's promoter). Dubois, Editor's note) and to put yourself in the queue for the throne Unlike Artur (Beterbiev, who also challenged him, Editor's note), you at least have a few thousand fans.
By far the biggest challenge of Jake Paul's career
Nothing has been decided yet, but the two boxers therefore agree on the principle of a fight. Daniel Dubois became IBF world heavyweight champion last September after his fifth-round knockout victory over Anthony Joshua. If the fight takes place, it would be by far the biggest challenge of the young career of Jake Paul, who has clearly stated his goal of becoming world champion. He might get the chance sooner than expected.
