Jake Paul, the controversial YouTuber turned boxer, continues to seek challenges that will solidify his boxing career. Following his contentious victory over Mike Tyson, Paul has received a new call-out—this time from a true boxing legend: Roy Jones Jr.
Jones Jr., a former world champion in four weight divisions, is no stranger to high-profile bouts. His own controversial win against Mike Tyson garnered significant media attention. Now, he’s looking to leverage that momentum to secure a lucrative fight with Paul.
Widely regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in boxing history, Roy Jones Jr. has expressed interest in facing Paul—but only under one condition: a $20 million purse. “I was the last person to fight Mike, so why would I take anything less than $20 million? Don’t waste my time,” Jones Jr. told the specialized outlet Covers.
