In the past he has claimed that he will deliver a world title within two years and Crawford was recently asked if he thought it was something the YouTuber turned boxer could achieve.
He said: βItβs possible. βA lot of people write JakeΒ off. But Jake can punch with that right hand. Heβs got a nice right hand. I gained a lot of respect for Jake because heβs not a YouTuber thatβs just boxing just to box. He actually trains and actually wants to get better. And he actually got better and really putting his time and focus and energy into boxing. So you got to respect that.β
Next up for Paul is the controversial fight with Mike Tyson on November 15th with many believing the contest should not be a professionally sanctioned bout.
