Undisputed light middleweight champion of the world Claressa Shields has offered Jake Paul $100k for a winner-takes-all spar.
Shields, who is widely regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound female boxers on the planet, has been locked in a war of words with Jake Paul for several months.
While the YouTuber has made a habit of p***ing people off in the fight world and ducking the potential consequences, he may not have been so fortunate in this case.
Shields, the self-claimed greatest women’s boxer of all time, took to Twitter to offer Paul $100k to get in the ring with her and spar for six rounds.
I got 100,000$ of my own money I’ll put up that Jake Paul can’t beat me in sparring! That’s on me! Let alone a fight! @JLeonLove tell ya mans I said what’s up! I fight December 11th, he fight the 18th after that we can sparr 6 rounds! Best 4 out of 6 rounds! If it last all 6 😈

It wouldn’t be a great look for the 4-0 boxer to be seen to snub a fight proposal from a female fighter who is considerable lighter than him.
That said, were he to lose the spar and that information subsequently gets out into the fight community, it would be a hammer blow to his credibility as a boxer.
What do you think, should Jake Paul accept her offer?
