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.
