Jake Paul has admitted that he is ‘tired of beating up old dudes’ and wants to box some younger opponents in 2023. The Problem Child was recently called out by ex-Conor McGregor opponent Donald Cerrone but Paul isn’t interested in fighting the retired 39-year-old UFC star as he is too old.
During his six-fight professional boxing career, Paul has made a habit out of competing against aging MMA fighters. Paul has boxed the likes of Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren who were all past their best when they clashed with the ex-Disney actor.
But Paul wants to move past this phase of his career and start boxing young, hungry contenders. “Interesting [a fight against Cerrone]. I mean I don’t know, I’m kind of tired of beating these old dudes up like that,” he told The Schmo.
“You know what I’m saying? So, I’m just trying to get someone in there who is younger. But they’re all scared, honestly. They’re just trying to protect their records.”
“Everyone is saying those are rigged fights, and I think he’s hitting hard. I really do think those are legitimate shots and strikes, and he’s been practicing boxing, and he’s whipping their a**es. I don’t think there’s any missed hype, I think he’s got something going.”
A potential opponent that fits the profile of a ‘young fighter’ is fierce rival Tommy Fury. The pair are currently in negotiations to stage their long-awaited grudge match after two previously failed attempts.
According to Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, talks have been ‘positive’ with both sides eager to make it happen. The Queensbury Promotions chief is confident that fans will finally see the influencer super fight in 2023.
