Jake Paul has now been called out by IBF world heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois following his controversial victory over Mike Tyson last Friday. The YouTube star produced an uninspiring performance to comprehensively outpoint his 58-year-old opponent through eight two-minute rounds at the AT&T Stadium, Texas. As expected, Mike Tyson had a brief burst of energy in the first round before fatigue ultimately kicked in, with the former heavyweight champion throwing just 97 punches in total.
Jake Paul , meanwhile, has since been called out by every fighter under the sun, with murderous puncher Daniel Dubois now throwing his name into the mix.

And so, it is perhaps unsurprising that a plethora of active and retired boxers have called out the 27-year-old, looking to cut themselves a slice of the lucrative pie.
Undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev – a typically stoic character by nature – was one of the first to add his name to the conversation . The 39-year-old comes off a monumental victory over Dmitry Bivol, and yet he has rarely been known for expressing himself on social media. Nevertheless, the prolific knockout artist did, in fact, earn himself a response from Paul , who more or less swerved the potential beatdown.
But now, after getting called out by Dubois, ‘The Problem Child’ has shockingly expressed an interest in facing the heavyweight champion, claiming that he will be in touch with Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian. On X, he said: “Man been boxing for 12 years, has over 100 fights between amateur and pro and fought on my undercard..
.hahaha. “But f*** it.
..I’m going to have Nakisa talk to Frankie [Frank] Warren [Dubois’ promoter] and get you in line for the throne.
Unlike Artur, at least you have a few thousand fans.” Jake Paul looks to face Daniel Dubois instead of Artur Beterbiev Dubois comes off a stunning fifth-round stoppage victory over Anthony Joshua , causing a sizable upset to retain his IBF strap. Paul, on the other hand, has had just one heavyweight outing and, in truth, looked to be considerably undersized for the weight.
But still, the American is seemingly more eager to face Dubois than Beterbiev down at 175 lbs, a weight that appears to be more natural for him. Neither matchup, however, is likely to materialize, given that Paul is levels below both fighters..
