Over the past few years, the name Jake Paul has emerged as one of the biggest stars in the world of combat sports. The social media superstar started his professional boxing career in 2020, and as of now, he boasts a record of 8-1.
For his 10th fight inside the squared circle, ‘The Problem Child’ will take on Ryan Bourland this weekend. After fighting numerous big names from the MMA world, Paul has now decided to take a traditional route for his dream of becoming a world champion. As a result, he has chosen Bourland as his next opponent, a former three-time Golden Gloves champion.
Ahead of his fight, Jake Paul has been linked with a potential fight against former pro boxer Carl Froch. It is worth noting that Froch and Paul have gone back and forth online for quite some time. Moreover, Froch has even suggested that he is willing to come out of retirement for a fight against Paul.

Speaking about the same during a recent media interaction, Jake Paul stated that everybody wants to fight him for a big pay cheque. While further calling himself the new Floyd Mayweather, Paul said:
“Of course he would, he wants payday. Of course, bro. All these guys will fight me. I’m the new Floyd Mayweather in the sport, seriously. Because I make my own decisions, I know how to get the business contracts done, I do the biggest PPVs, and I’m my own boss. So, I can move and go wherever I want. So yes, I am the new Floyd in this sport, and yes, everybody wants to fight me.”
Jake Paul calls out Canelo Alvarez
Jake Paul has been quite vocal about wanting to fight Canelo Alvarez inside the squared circle. Approaching towards the end of his career, Alvarez has also seemed to be open for a potential fight against ‘The Problem Child’ down the line.
Jake Paul recently spoke about the potential fight against the undisputed super middleweight champion. While suggesting that Canelo Alvarez can run but he cannot hide, ‘The Problem Child’ said:
“It makes sense. He’s coming to the end of his career where he’s gonna want to make a lot of money. So Canelo, once again, I wanna fight you, let’s make it happen. You can run, but you can’t hide.”
