A current world champion is open to fighting Jake Paul.
Noel Mikaelian is the WBC cruiserweight world champion. In his last outing he defeated Ilunga Makabu to claim the vacant strap.
And with Jake Paul operating at both Cruiserweight and Heavyweight the Armenian is interested in a fight with ‘The Problem Child’ but has laid out two things that the YouTuber needs to achieve first.
He said to The Sun: “I watched him against Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia last year and I expected much more.
“I thought he would bring a bigger crowd and that would be much more of a star. But it wasn’t as huge as I thought.
“But looking forward to next year, if he wants to fight for a world championship, it will be quite difficult. He has to first beat somebody in the top 15 to get ranked. And then – he’s got to give me that Hawk Tuah and spit on that thing – then I’d do a voluntary defence against him. I would play around with him and enjoy it and it would be very lucrative for me too. So I would embrace that if he wants to fight for a title.”
Paul made light work of Mike Perry last night in another one sided beatdown against an MMA veteran.

Following the fight Paul said: “He was hard as nails, but I’m sorry it took so long. He may be the King of Violence, but Mike Tyson, you’re next. I am excited for that one.”
