Jake Paul has once again made headlines by expanding his list of potential opponents, expressing a clear interest in facing world champion Terence Crawford. This statement comes at a time of uncertainty for his upcoming exhibition fight, scheduled against Gervonta Davis on November 14 in Miami, a fight that was eventually moved to Florida.
Jake Paul’s antics are well known, as he seems to literally not care about anything when it comes to choosing opponents for a fight in order to attract the attention of thousands of fans and the press. For that reason, it is not uncommon for him to really want to box against champion Crawford, who is going through a great moment.
Jake Paul does not shy away from a possible fight against Crawford
In a recent interview with Netflix Sports, Paul addressed Crawford’s previous comments, who had called the Paul vs. Davis fight “crazy”. Paul agreed with that description. “This fight is crazy. It’s two of the biggest names in America in boxing, and it’s a matchup that’s 50/50 because of their skill and experience. But my size is the factor that evens things out, and that’s what makes this an incredible fight: we don’t know what’s going to happen.”
When asked directly if he would fight Crawford, Paul did not hesitate to accept the challenge. “Of course I would fight Terence 100 per cent. Let’s do it!”. This new target adds to his ambition to face big boxing figures, so it is not so surprising that he was excited about it.
