YouTuber-cum-boxer Jake Paul has called out WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
Paul and Fury locked horns in the build-up to the American’s proposed fight with Fury’s brother, Tommy, which ultimately never materialised.
Paul was shrewd in his attempts to piggyback off of Fury’s status to increase his relevance within the boxing community. It’s what he does best.
It appears as though he has no intention of calling it quits, either, having shared a video on his social media channels calling Fury out for a fight.
Paul, wearing a fat suit, joked that he’d moved up to the heavyweight division and had set his sights on dethroning the Gypsy King.
In 6 days I fight Anderson Silva in #paulsilva but, after that, fat Jake is moving up to the heavyweight division to fight my brotha from anotha mother @Tyson_Fury. The heavyweight division been real quiet since this announcement👀 @betr pic.twitter.com/YxDBgDo7fr

Paul has added a lot of size since his boxing debut, but there’s little to no chance that we’d ever see him make the step into the heavyweight world.
If the Jake Paul circus is going to have any longevity, he can ill afford to end a fight on his back side, having been knocked out by a gigantic heavyweight.
He’d added mass in order to lean into his knockout power, but let’s be honest, he’ll never be in a position to fight someone like Tyson Fury…
