When are these dudes going to fight legitimate pro boxers their own age??
Jake Paul has already fought a good boxer, Tommy Fury, and in fact, that's where his only loss came from. Tommy Fury is 24 years old, while Jake Paul is 26. He probably realized that he can't beat a legitimate boxer, so he chose an old and retired UFC fighter. At the end of the day, all he cares is he can win and make a good amount of money at the same time. That's how smart he is.
Agreed, Jake Paul is an influencer/content creator that use boxing as his main content. It’s obvious that he will cherry pick opponents to make his career attractive to his viewers. He is not a professional boxer per se and it's actually impressive that someone like that is not a pro is fighting professional athletes on physical sports.
His fights is actually good for content and people not satisfied because most of his fight is not from pro boxer on prime is missing the fact that he is a content creator not a pro. Jake Paul doing a great job for his career.
Despite his losses to Tommy Fury, Jake Paul's boxing career is still at its peak. The fans do not stop supporting him despite no longer being undefeated. With this big win against a popular UFC fighter, it will continue to propel him into stardom, and more money will come in as he schedules more fights.
Personally, I don't think there's an older UFC fighter who could defeat him in boxing, even McGregor.
Thanks for providing a clear explanation on that. I had no idea what it was; I thought it was a bad thing or a punishment for violating the rules. However, it turns out it's just a precaution.
