Youtuber Boxer Jake Paul replies to former UFC champ Henry Cejudo who has challenged him for a boxing match.
After Jake knocked out Nate Robinson on the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. undercard, he called out several MMA fighters. On the list were Dillon Danis, Ben Askren, and Conor McGregor. However, Henry Cejudo appears interested in the bout and called out the YouTuber.
Yo @jakepaul since you really think your a legit fighter by beating up on retired NBA D lister’s who really deserves a academy award for best fall. How about we fight and if I can’t stop you I’ll give all money to charity of your choice. #dontbescaredhomie 🖊 📄 pic.twitter.com/cLXKxLtNuY

Jake Paul responds to Cejudo
Jake was quick to respond and questioned if Cejudo was a big enough name for him to fight.

“I’m a huge fan!! You’re the mini champ! But it seems like I’m your only fan because the purses I buy my girlfriend are worth more than your fight purses. where your PPV #’s at champ?” Paul responded.
Henry Cejudo, of course, retired from MMA following his TKO win over Dominick Cruz at UFC 249 to defend his bantamweight title. Before that, he beat Marlon Moraes to win the vacant bantamweight title after knocking out T.J. Dillashaw at flyweight to defend his strap. He also dethroned Demetrious Johnson to become just the second-ever UFC flyweight champion.
Jake, meanwhile, is 2-0 as a pro boxer with knockout wins over Robinson and fellow YouTuber, AnEsonGib. There is no question if Cejudo fought Paul in MMA the Olympic gold medalist would likely win and do so by stoppage. However, in boxing, the fight becomes much more interesting.
Although Jake and Henry Cejudo are going at it, it seems unlikely the two will ever fight. First off, the size is a big difference as the YouTuber fought at 189lbs against Robinson while Cejudo last fought at 135lbs.
Also, another breaking news from the boxing world is Former five-division and 12-time world champion Floyd Mayweather is all set to fight Youtube star Logan Paul in a special exhibition match scheduled to take place on Feb 20, 2021.
